Chapter 294: Unknown Figure (2/2)
”Umm… no. She is older,” Zhou Mei said while shaking her head.
”Oh, it crossed 40%,” Wan Li said. He was the only one of the three focusing on Alex's pill tester.
”Huh?” Fan Ruogang turned around to catch the fog go above 41%. ”No! I am at the last place,” she said.
Soon the fog crossed 43% as well. ”Sigh, as expected,” Zhou Mei said. Soon the fog rose up and reached 45% and acted stayed there for a few seconds, giving the illusion of stopping, but it increased once more to reach 46%.
”Aii, you are too good, Brother Yu,” Wan Li said.
Just then, the percentage went up once more to 47%. Wan Li and the rest knew better than to assume this was the end, so they silently waited for it to go up.
The fog did rise up twice and the final result was 49%.
”Sigh, you have my respect brother Yu. This is truly amazing,” Wan Li said.
”Oh wow, Mingming, you nearly made a Heaven grade pill from something you learned just today?” Fan Ruogang said excitedly.
”Haha, that is a really interesting thing I am seeing right now,” A voice came from behind Alex. The four of them turned around to see a man in his late 20s staring at them.
He wore a simple grayish robe with black linings. He was wearing a small hat, but Alex could see his handsome face clearly.
The man walked forward stood next to Alex. He was nearly 3 finger-widths taller than Alex.
”Young man, can I take a look at your pill?” the man asked.
”Umm… ” Alex wasn't sure what to say. A random person coming up to him and asking to look at his pill was something he had never experienced or prepared for before.
”Thank you,” the man said, taking Alex's non-responsiveness as agreement.
He took the pill tester and dropped a pill out. He brought it close to his face and looked at it. He frowned a little and brought out another pill from his bag and immediately ate it without hesitation.
He shook his head as if electricity coursed through his body, and the next time he opened his eyes, the pupils were wide open.
He looked at the pill once more and now he started nodding at it. ”Good, good. The composition of the powders is a little flawed, but the overall structure is good. You also managed to get the timing correct a lot of the time— No, almost all the time.”
”Temperature control was good, but it could be better if you acquire a better cauldron. Hmm… aside from that… you just need better ingredients and you can easily make Heaven-grade pills,” the man said while nodding to himself.
He seemed to be fascinated with the pill, more so than any other person Alex had seen in his life.
He finally looked up from the pill and stared at Alex and asked, ”What's your name, little brother?”
Alex could tell that this man was a pill-making genius or at least one that could analyze as greatly, so he decided to answer, ”My name is Yu Ming.”
