Chapter 605, Pill Patterns

Translator: Silavin

 

“They are going to appraise two Pills simultaneously?”

 

“Could it be that Chairman Dan Xuan believed that the Pill refined by Qin Yichen is comparable to Qian Zhengchen’s Pill?”

 

“Damn! That means Qin Yichen’s Pill is also a Sixth Grade Pill!?”

 

Seeing the actions of Dan Xuan and Chen Yun, many people’s eyes flashed with a hint of confusion, and then their eyes filled with excitement.

 

One was the publicly recognised top Alchemy Master of the younger generation, whose reputation was so resounding that it even exceeded some of the Elders within the Alchemy Council!

 

The other was someone who, in herb identification and refinement, had crushed the competition and boldly seized first place, entering the final round in the most eye-catching manner. He was the greatest dark horse, Qin Yichen!

 

Would the top of the younger generation defend his position without suspense, or could this dark horse create another miracle and give them a surprise!?

 

This was what countless people eagerly awaited, though no one favoured Qin Yichen.

 

Then, under countless tense gazes, Chen Yun picked up the jade bottle placed beside the Startling Dragon Cauldron, lifted the bottle cap, and a Pill Fragrance that invigorated the Soul immediately spread out. Then, she slightly tilted the jade bottle, and a round Pill fell into her palm.

 

As expected, a Sixth Grade Pill!

 

Qian Zhengchen had truly refined a Sixth Grade Pill.

 

“Heavens! It’s said that even Chairman Chen Yun only refined her first Sixth Grade Pill a year after she became an Earth Grade Alchemy Master.”

 

“Truly worthy of the one chosen by Heaven!”

 

Upon clearly seeing this Pill, exclamations of surprise continuously rang out across the entire venue.

 

As expected, Qian Zhengchen had even deployed a Heaven Grade Pill Furnace, the Startling Dragon Cauldron, just to refine a Sixth Grade Pill. Most importantly, he had succeeded!

 

Upon seeing this Pill, Luo Xiujie and the others’ eyes flashed with a hint of dimness. Originally, they had still hoped to try to compete for first place, but looking at their own refined Fifth Grade Pills, they knew they had no hope of competing with Qian Zhengchen.

 

“Damn, it really is a Sixth Grade Pill. This settles it, first place has already been decided upon. There is no longer any suspense.”

 

“I really don’t understand why the two Chairmans insist on deliberately appraising two Pills simultaneously?”

 

Seeing this Sixth Grade Pill, many spectators shook their heads with sighs. However, what made them somewhat puzzled was that they had originally thought Qin Yichen would be greatly shaken by this, but they discovered that Qin Yichen seemed completely unsurprised. Even when he saw that Pill, the corner of his mouth curved into a slight smile.

 

Under countless gazes, Dan Xuan finally opened the jade bottle and poured out a Pill.

 

When they saw that Pill, no larger than a thumb and entirely emerald green, the clamour across the entire venue suddenly stopped.

 

Almost all eyes were fixed on that Pill, around which circled a ring of Pill Fragrance with colouration!

 

Sixth Grade Pill!

 

It was also a Sixth Grade Pill!

 

At this moment, countless people’s hearts violently pounded, and they finally understood why Dan Xuan and Chen Yun had personally come down and were simultaneously appraising two Pills!

 

It was because the Pill refined by Qin Yichen had also reached the Sixth Grade!

 

Heavens! What kind of monsters were these two!?

 

A Sixth Grade Pill represented something that only a Sixth Grade Alchemy Master was qualified to refine!

 

A Sixth Grade Alchemy Master, to their understanding, was an Earth Grade Alchemy Master looked up to by countless people!

 

And now, two young men had both refined Sixth Grade Pills that would shame countless people of the older generation!

 

At this moment, an extremely absurd thought arose in everyone’s minds, [We aren’t dreaming, are we?]

 

Qian Zhengchen had refined a Sixth Grade Pill. That could barely be accepted because he had the support of a Hidden Family and had also borrowed a Heaven Grade Pill Furnace.

 

But what about Qin Yichen?!

 

Someone previously unknown who had suddenly risen, and in the end, had refined a Sixth Grade Pill with such a shabby Pill Furnace!

 

After a brief silence, the enormous square once again erupted with deafening roars. Each spectator stared red-faced at the two stone platforms in the very centre of the square, and they almost wished they could go up and appraise the Pills themselves.

 

“From the Pill Fragrance, colouration and roundness, this is a Level Two Sixth Grade Pill!”

 

Under countless expectant gazes, Chen Yun finally slowly spoke.

 

Level Two Sixth Grade Pill!

 

This indicated that it was not a barely formed Pill. Moreover, it showed that Qian Zhengchen was not refining a Sixth Grade Pill for the first time. Otherwise, he could not have refined a Level Two Sixth Grade Pill.

 

Hearing the Grade, several Elders of Alchemy Council lowered their heads somewhat shamefully.

 

At their advanced age, even if they used the Eight Treasures Six Harmonies Cauldron, they probably could not refine a Pill of this Grade in such a short time!

 

“What about Qin Yichen’s?”

 

“Yes, what about his?”

 

“Does it still need appraising? Him refining a Sixth Grade Pill is already his limit plus dog-shit luck. How high could the Level be?”

 

Amidst the various clamours, Dan Xuan did not speak but raised his palm, with the Pill quietly floating an inch above his palm.

 

Only then did everyone clearly see the full appearance of that Pill.

 

When they saw that Pill, entirely emerald green with a faint ring of light green ripples interspersed within, like spreading ripples, countless clamours stopped once again.

 

Pill Patterns!

 

Looking at that ring of light green ripples, countless people’s hearts violently jumped.

 

When refining Pills, only when a Pill’s colour and lustre reached the pinnacle could such Pill Patterns appear.

 

Upon seeing these Pill Patterns, everyone already knew that the Level of the Pill refined by Qin Yichen was not only not lower than Qian Zhengchen’s, but far exceeded it!

 

“How is it possible for this brat to refine a Sixth Grade Pill with a Level higher than mine!?”

 

Qian Zhengchen’s expression was gloomy. However, from beginning to end, he had not lost his composure. After all, although these results were beyond his expectations, he still had no doubt that the final result would not produce any surprises.

 

After all, this Alchemy Manor Summit did not merely compare the refined Grades and Level; most importantly, it compared the effects and efficacy of the Pills!

 

“Sixth Grade…” Dan Xuan spoke slowly, but if there were attentive people around him, they would discover that Dan Xuan’s voice actually contained a slight tremor, indicating that his heart was unsettled.

 

“A Level Four Sixth Grade Pill!”

 

Under everyone’s gaze, he announced the Grade and Level of the Pill refined by Qin Yichen.

 

*Siiii!*

 

Throughout the entire venue, there were no clamours. There were only the sounds of sharp intakes of breath. All eyes were filled with intense shock and disbelief.
