Chapter 421 Making Waves

Right now, Yuchi was still unsure how to refine a divine spark. In fact, Yuchi did not even know what a divine spark was.

According to Cofuran, he simply had to go with the flow, from the first to fifth level of alchemy, and everything would be resolved naturally.

Currently, his assessment task was to refine a medicinal pill that would deal with hot and cold environments.

The knowledge he had comprehended related to this subject immediately sprang to mind.

It would not take him long to refine it. Furthermore, he did not have to rely on ordinary flames to refine the pill. After all, he had the Hellfire skill, which would not only result in a purer final product, but a much faster refining process as well.

However, Yuchi felt that it was better not to do this, as it would invite all sorts of questions. It was better to just use the standard fire sources provided. In any case, there would be no problem attracting the attention of the Alchemist Guild.

After that, he would be able to obtain resources and progress through the ranks quickly, and eventually achieve his goal of refining a divine spark.

Then, Yuchi got started. To the inhabitants of the Alchemist Valley, it was an undisputed fact that alchemy was a very difficult profession. Not only did it require a comprehensive grasp and understanding of the medicinal herbs, but it also required a level of exquisite control over fire. Moreover, it also required one to be familiar with the basics and theories behind each step of the refining process.

While the other participants were fumbling about, within three minutes, Yuchi was already done, and a pill had appeared in the palm of his hand.

Yuchi had already slowed down his speed. Otherwise, the pill would probably have been created within seconds. His comprehension of the Heavenly Dao allowed him to accurately determine the medicinal properties of the herbs, and how each step of the refining process would affect the final outcome. Furthermore, his ability to control flames was unquestionable.

When the other students noticed that Yuchi had refined the pill, they dropped what they were doing in shock, many completely ruining the refining process they were working on.

They looked at him as if they had seen a ghost. The high-level alchemists had already surrounded Yuchi. Each and every one of them was dumbstruck as they looked at the medicinal pill in his hand. This medicinal pill was completely golden, and was warm and smooth. It even exuded a dense medicinal aura.

The quality of this pill had reached its utmost limits!

Pills themselves had different grades, from one to five. Grade-one pills were the ones usually made available to the public for purchase.

However, higher-grade pills were more effective, and even had more effects. Furthermore, they were more easily absorbed, and had less side effects.

To the vast majority of students present, simply being able to refine a pill successfully was already quite an amazing thing. However, Yuchi had refined a grade-five pill!

Was he even human?

Even the high-level alchemists had already seriously begun to doubt what they were seeing. Back then, they had been overjoyed after simply passing the assessment.

That in itself was something worthy of praise and respect.

However, compared to Yuchi's achievements, theirs were as meaningless as weeds by the roadside.

Were they the experts or was he?

To be able to successfully refine such a high-grade pill within such a short time and without access to specialized equipment was simply unheard of.

Of course, if these people knew that this pill was the result of him holding back, they would probably have given up on life. Perhaps alchemy was not the right path for them.

Yuchi, on the other hand, was quite serious as he asked these alchemists, "Will this pill be enough to pass the assessment?"

The alchemists fell silent.

Then...

All of the alchemists replied in unison, "Congratulations. You have already passed the assessment."

"Your alchemist badge will be sent to your home within a month. Please leave your address with the Alchemist Guild's reception."

Yuchi pondered for a moment before asking, "Would it be possible for me to take the second-level alchemist assessment today, or will I have to wait for a month for the next one?"

Everyone was silent.

Was such a feat even possible?

Here they were, struggling with a single assessment, yet this guy wanted to breeze through another one.

Was he not satisfied with becoming a first-level alchemist?

He should at least savor the moment for a day!
