Chapter 481: The Mentally Confused Immortal Pill King

Wen Hou asked in pleasant surprise, ”Brother Tan, someone really managed to refine a 100% purity medicinal solution?”

Tan Liang nodded, ”The residual fluids within this pill furnace is definitely of 100% purity. Of course, no matter what tier a pill refiner is, it is definitely impossible to purify a herb and leave it completely free from dregs. But to a pill refiner, as long as the medicinal solution exceeds 99% purity, it would be deemed as 100% purity.

My skill in alchemy is limited, I’m unable to judge the exact purity of the medicinal solution that was in this pill furnace. But from the dregs that were left behind, I can tell that the medicinal solution’s purity has definitely exceeded 99%, and it is infinitesimally close to reaching 100%. I don’t know this person’s ability with pills, but based on his skills in drug refining, he is enough to be my master.”

Wen Hou’s mouth went agape; only after some time did he speak.”Brother Tan, you’re too modest, you’re a Tier 4 Immortal Pill King.”

Tan Liang shook his head, ”Brother Wen, I’m not talking nonsense. The reason why I said that has many reason. For one, this person merely used a Grade 1 pill furnace. Secondly, this person had used an ordinary fire in his purification; he did not even use earth fire. There’s no need to talk about me, even a Tier 6 Pill King might not be able to purify and extract medicinal solutions of such a high purity. Since this person was able to produce medicinal solutions of such high quality, the pills concocted would definitely be top grade pills. No other pills of the same tier could compare to it.”

”Wen Tian, quickly, find out who used this pill furnace and tell me,” Wen Hou could no longer hold in his emotions as he cried out with urgency.

A middle-aged man heard these words and he hurriedly bowed and said, ”These pill furnaces were purchased by Qian Shan under the little miss’s orders. Recently, the little miss has also been searching for expert pill and drug refiners.”

This middle-aged man was the manager of the castellan’s alchemy lab, Manager Wen Tian.

Wen Hou’s expression immediately went warm; he knew why his daughter did such things. It must have been because she saw his constant worry-stricken face, and wanted to quell his concerns. He spoke in a gentle tone, ”Get the little girl and Qian Shan over then.”

”Yes.” After a quick response, Wen Tian hurriedly left the alchemy lab.

Seeing that Tan Liang was still examining the pill furnace excitedly, Wen Hou asked with a bit of uncertainty, ”Brother Tan, is this person’s purification of medicinal herbs so impressive?”

Tan Liang uttered a long sigh, ”Perhaps, he might be even more impressive than I imagined.. Brother Wen, if you can find this person to represent you, even if he’s unable to concoct high tiered immortal pills, just based on his purification of medicinal herbs, he would definitely be able to earn a ranked spot. Brother Wen has never tried pill refining, so you naturally don’t know how hard it is to improve when it comes to purification.”

As he said this, Tan Liang paused momentarily. Then, he said, ”Let me make an analogy. If a person is able to purify a spiritual herb to 90%, then for him to reach 91%, he would need an additional fold of effort. Moreover, his understanding towards the herb must also increase by at least a fold. Following this logic, do you know how difficult it is to attain 99% purity? Moreover, the residual fluids here all exceed 99%. If this person isn't a supreme genius, then he must be an avant-garde pioneer of a new alchemic method.”

As a Tier 4 Immortal Pill King, Tan Liang was experienced and knowledgeable. Mo Wuji's skills with alchemy came from the wordless pill manual, but ever since he created his reverse Immortal Mortal Technique, his alchemy had also been modeled after his own self; it was no longer related to the wordless pill manual.

His alchemy was independent and it matched his cultivation technique. What it aimed for was for a medicinal solution at 100% purity, not merely something that was infinitesimally close.

Wen Hou inhaled a breath of cold air; he completely understood the meaning behind Tan Liang's words. Using a Grade 1 pill furnace, coupled with an ordinary flame, this fella was still able to refine a 100% purity medicinal solution. Clearly, this fella was heaven defying.

At this moment, he was resolute; no matter who this person was, he would spare no expense to invite this person to Water Ying Immortal City.
