122 Refining Pills (2/2)

Pah!

From the furnace jumped up tens of blood red pills.

This was the last step, opening the furnace.

One had to time when to open the furnace. If it was too early, the pill may not have solidified yet and if it was too late, the pill’s size might be too large and crack. Under that situation, the pill might explode and destroy the entire pill refining room…

Shua!

Zhao Feng waved his robed and grabbed the tens of red blood pills with his hand.

“Let me see the success rate.” Yun Yao said while smiling.

Success rate?

Zhao Feng paused, but he soon remembered what this meant.

When a batch of pill was made, there was always a success rate. For example, of ten pills, there might be only 5 pills successfully created, the others would either be trash pills or ungraded pills.

Zhao Feng handed over all the pills to Yun Yao.

“It can’t all be ungraded and useless pills, right?” Yun Mengxiang laughed.

At this time, she saw that her auntie’s face was solemn and full of shock.

“Thirteen blood pills, 1 perfect pill, 4 excellent, 6 normal and 2 others which are slightly below the standard of normal but still in the normal category.”

Yun Yao couldn’t help but take in a cold breath: “If the requirements aren’t strict, this is a 100% success rate.”

100%!

Yun Mengxiang’s face had turned pale fright like she had been frightened. Then, she and Yun Yao looked at Zhao Feng with complex emotions.

“This is your first time refining pills?”

The shock and questioning hadn’t disappeared from Yun Yao’s face.

“That’s right.”

Zhao Feng’s heart was slightly weak, he hadn’t expected his precision and control to be so good.

After his confirmation, Yun Yao and Yun Mengxiang seemed like they had been beaten and their souls lost.

“These 13 pills were created by you, so you have have them.”

Yun Yao returned the pills that Zhao Feng refined back to him.

Then… There wasn’t a then.

Zhao Feng was kicked out for no reason, leaving behind only Yun Yao and Yun Mengxiang.

“Auntie, why aren’t you teaching him anymore?”

“How can I teach a prodigy such as him? It’s a miracle! How can someone have a 100% success rate when refining their first batch of pills?” Yun Yao sighed in despair.

How is this possible!?

Yun Mengxiang was speechless.

“Keep this a secret for now. All you’ve got to do now is not to offend him and maintain a good relationship with him… ” Yun Yao said.

…..

After leaving the refining room, Zhao Feng went into deep thought.

“That’s how it is… No matter how excellent the pill maker is, it’s hard for them to have a 100% success rate even if they are a pill master, unless they create pills far below their usual standard… ”

Zhao Feng finally realised that his 100% success rate was shocking. Because it was his first time refining pills, he didn’t have a standard and he still made a 100% success rate.

For the next few days, Zhao Feng was much more relaxed and free, the tasks that old man Guan had given him were completed.

During daytime, he would occasionally read a few books and at night, he would cultivate. His main focus was still Silver Wall Technique. But after reaching the 9th level, his progress slowed down.

It would be at least a few years before his Silver Wall Technique reached the 10th level, according to his analysis. Zhao Feng could only wait and hope that Vice Head Guan would give him a few more Spiritual pills. If he didn’t, he could create them himself later on…

Time passed quickly and Zhao Feng had stayed in the Clan for half a month now.

Of the newly entered disciples, Xiao Sun, Yun Mengxian and Liu Yue’er had the most major improvements. Xiao Sun had apparently reached the half step - Ascended Realm while Yun Mengxiang and Liu Yue’er had reached the peak 9th rank of the Consolidated Realm.

Such speed was a miracle in the mortal world. But in the Clan, it was fast but not shocking. The nine ranks of the Consolidate Realm was only a beginning after all.

Zhao Feng knew that Yun Mengxiang had a pill master auntie, so she had eaten at least 5 or more of the Marrow Cleansing Pill, but Liu Yue’er couldn’t be found amongst the outer disciples.

Some said that she had been taken in by another Elder and became the 3rd person to become a disciple of an Elder after Bei Moi and Sun Yuanhao.

The two Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan had reached the half-step 9th rank and 9th rank respectively.

Compared with the others, Zhao Feng’s cultivation speed wasn’t fast. Although he focused mainly on Silver Wall Technique his cultivation had still broken through to the 9th rank.
