Chapter 467: Tier 5 Pill!
'This kind of humiliation?! Why am I being looked down upon wherever I go?!' the grey-cloaked figure thought while looking at the old man before him.
The token was his own. Even though he lacked the proper cultivation base, he could form the pill.
Since the people of the Eternal Jade Guild did not care about his age, his rank did not cause any commotion in that place.
Having no choice, the boy agreed and walked out of the room. While walking, he secretly glared at the old man's back, vowing to take revenge someday.
But his thoughts did not linger for long as the crowd outside the rooms behind them caught his attention.
Seeing the commotion outside the room, he was puzzled and looked at the man stopped by the old man.
Tier 5 Alchemist?!
Did he hear it correctly? What did that represent?! He had never seen a Tier 4 alchemist in his life, let alone a Tier 5 alchemist!
To be able to make Rank 1 pills means you can concoct pills for the body tempering realm, and to be able to form Rank 5 pills means that a person can condense a pill usable by the cultivators in the core formation realm!
"Rank 5? Did you make any mistake?" Hearing those words, the old man's eyes went wide as he thought about what kind of monster was hiding among the participants!
"There is no mistake, Supervisor. The other supervisors are trying to confirm the identity of the person right now," the servant hurriedly shook his head. "They are in that room, asking that person to concoct a pill as proof."
"Is that so?" Following the direction the servant pointed at, the old man could see many people making a group outside the room.
Without saying anything else, he walked in the direction of the room. Upon his arrival, the people gathered in front of the room started to scatter in fear.
"What are you doing here? To attend to your duties, don't you dare disobey the emperor." Seeing many people procrastinating from their work to watch the show, the old man waved his hand angrily, scaring them away.
The grey-cloaked boy behind the supervisor also shivered in fright. Without saying anything, he silently walked inside the room and felt all the commotion from the background disappearing almost instantly.
Ignoring the sudden change, his attention was caught by the people inside the room.
There were three old men wearing clothes similar to the one standing beside him. The three of them were looking at the same person, their eyes filled with a solemn look.
His eyes were instantly moved towards the supposed Rank 5 Alchemist. Just like him, this person was also hiding her identity with a cloak. The only reason he could tell she was a woman was because of her figure.
The cloak could not hide her subtle curves.
With meticulous hand movements, she drew the materials inside the cauldron and started to use qi to direct their movements.
Just by her movements alone, the boy could not help but gasp in astonishment. 'Is she really less than 30?'
It was not just him thinking that; seeing the girl's profound techniques, the supervisors also thought the same.
These supervisors were not just for show; they all were alchemists and not just any alchemist, they were all Rank 5 Alchemists.
They could see her jade hands moving at a very fast speed as she controlled the heat of the furnace.
It did not take long before the aromatic scent of a pill came from the cauldron, filling the room.
Unfazed by the gazes of astonishment from the supervisors, the woman calmly finished the final procedure of refining the pellet and slammed her hands on the cauldron.
*Woosh!*
The air shifted as a huge amount of heaven and earth energy started to gather in the room, alerting every cultivator above the foundation establishment realm in the area.
"What is this?"
"The energy of heaven and earth is restless! Is this a sign of the birth of a treasure?!"
"A treasure? In this place?"
"Sigh~, maybe it's a treasure from the royal family."
The foundation establishment realm cultivators could only guess what it was while looking around the air in a daze, but the more experienced old cultivators were more sensitive to the changes in the aura.
"It's coming from this arena!" Experience exclusive tales on My Virtual Library Empire
"It's a treasured Tier 5 stage Pill!"
"Should we make a move on the alchemist?"
"Are you an idiot? All the alchemists and the weapon refiners are given special status in the empire. Not to mention, they are protected by the Alchemy Association!"
"Indeed, to make a move on them in the Royal Estate is simply courting death!" The hidden core formation members of all kinds of forces talked among themselves while looking in the direction of the room where the energy was gathering.
Even the noble clan members of the Feng Empire were restless about this matter. High-ranking alchemists were a rare sight in the empire.
The number of Rank 5 Alchemists in the capital city could be counted on the fingers. There were only two Rank 6 alchemists in the whole empire.
One was from the Alchemist Association, and the other was associated with the royal family.
The person most affected by this matter was none other than Wuhan.
"Just who is that woman?" He looked in the direction of the room, his eyes unaffected by the interference of the walls, landing on the cloaked figure.
She was holding a glowing pill with a shiny exterior in her hands, presenting it to the supervisors.
Noah was also looking in the same direction, but his eyes were fixed on a certain boy rather than the woman.
"She is from the Alchemy Pavilion," Xin Yan finally spoke up. She relayed everything they had heard from the cloaked figures on the lowest floor.
"Alchemy Pavilion?!" Hearing Xin Yan's words, Wuhan's face turned solemn. He knew that some of the sects were bound to retaliate, but he never thought that they would go this far.
