Chapter 82: Elder Yang Is Dumbfounded (1/2)
Feng Xue and Elder Yang could not help coming closer to peek into the cauldron. There were exactly ten-round vermilion-colored pills inside. The surface of the pills sparkled temptingly, appearing almost translucent. Although they themself did not know anything about alchemy, they were certain that Snowy had succeeded in concocting the pills.
Snowy glanced at the pills, inspecting it carefully with her divine eyes.

Name: Golden Core Congealing Pill (Enhanced)
Grade: Earth
Quality: Upper (70% purity)
Description: The medicinal pill to help martial artists breakthrough into the Golden Core stage. An ordinary Golden Core Congealing Pill could increase the success rate of condensing crystal by 30%, while this pill could increase the success rate by 50%.

”This, this…” Elder Yang dumbfounded as he examined the pills closer.
He had seen the same pills so many times that he lost count yet the ones in front of him were at a different level altogether.
The spiritual qi oozing from the pill was a lot purer and thicker than most of the Earth-rank pill he had seen before.
It was like comparing heaven and earth.
If he hadn't witnessed the concocting process with his own eyes, he most likely would have mistaken them as Heaven-rank pills.
Even he knew that when Heaven-rank pill was successfully refined, it would incite an heaven tribulation.
Depending on its quality, the tribulations might be a fire tribulation at the weakest or thunder tribulation at the strongest.
While the quality of the pills seemed to be higher than ordinary pills, they still didn't cross the limit of Earth-rank.
Despite this, the shock in Elder Yang's heart didn't decrease.
'The youngest Alchemy Grandmaster…'
Elder Yang shifted his attention to Snowy—the maker; his gaze filled with awe and respect.
However, his expression suddenly turned into a puzzled one when he saw her flawless facial skin wrinkled as she scowled slightly.
”This… She seems to be disappointed?” Elder Yang murmured, accidentally speaking his thoughts.
Feng Xue was as confused as Elder Yang; Snowy should feel happy—or at least glad—since the refinement is successful, right?
Yet, why did she have an expression that showed otherwise?
”Is there anything wrong with the pills Snowy? Have you failed?”
”No, the refining process was successful. But…”
”But, what?”
”But, the pill's purity is only 70% and the pill's effect only gives a 50% chance of breakthrough to the Golden Core stage. If it wasn't because Myriad Flame was so intense and this was also my first time refining a pill, the quality might have been a lot higher.”
Snowy's shoulder dropped and a disappointed sigh came out softly from her mouth.
”It's okay Snowy. Next time will be better,” consoled Feng Xue.
She didn't seem to be surprised by the fact that her speculation, that Snowy had never done an alchemy practice before, was spot on.
She never doubted that Snowy could do better.
Quite the opposite, Elder Yang was stunned, his widened eyes looking at snowy unblinking, while his mouth gaped.
”Wh-what? 70% purity? 50% chance of success?!”
Elder Yang suddenly felt dizzy; his views of the world were ruthlessly flipped by Snowy's remark.
”This was really your first time refining a pill?”
”Un.”
Seeing Snowy's affirmation, Elder yang couldn't help but suck in a deep breath.
One should know that even with using only an ordinary Golden Core Congealing Pill, four out of five cultivators could successfully break through the peak Qi Transformation stage and enter the Golden Core stage.
Using the pills concocted by Snowy, most of the peak Qi Transformation cultivators were guaranteed to succeed.
What if the pill's quality was enhanced further? Did it mean that even cultivators in the seventh or eight level of Qi Transformation could directly advance to the Golden Core stage?
One pill could increase the cultivation base one or two levels at once, what concept was this?
If someone could produce the pills with similar efficacy as the one made by Snowy, they could make an organization rivaling big sects and great families just in five or ten years.
