"Divine Master Zheng has refined a total of 17 divine pills. Six of them are semi-finished products, which are ten healing pills, six speed pills, and one Divine Monarch Pill. Ten of them are of superior quality, and the other six are semi-finished divine pills. However, we don't understand why Divine Master Zheng was able to refine five semi-finished divine pills when we provided ten sets of materials." Ling Chen asked Zheng Can in confusion as he announced the number of divine pills.
Before Zheng Can could speak, Gong Tanzhan's expression changed slightly, and he said, "Could it be that Elder Zheng is already able to refine multiple divine pills from one set of materials?"
Ordinary alchemists could only extract one pill at most when refining pills, but skilled alchemists could refine multiple pills from one cauldron. This was relative to lower grade pills.
After reaching the Divine Pill grade, it would be extremely difficult to refine multiple pills from one cauldron.
However, it was not impossible for someone to do this.
Now that Zheng Can could refine 17 divine pills from ten sets of materials, he must have reached the level of refining multiple pills from one cauldron.
Lucha, Qi Yangtai, and Fu Yan all looked at Zheng Can in surprise, waiting for his answer.
Zheng Can's old face had a hint of pride as he said, "That's right. Others only think that one set of materials can only refine one pill, but that's not the case. After years of hard work and constant exploration, I can indeed reach the level of the ancient people who refined multiple pills from one cauldron. It's a pity that the extra pill is only a semi-finished product. This old man's level is still not high enough!"
Although Zheng Can's words were modest, his expression was not the least bit humble. Instead, it was full of incomparable satisfaction.
He had not been a Divine Alchemist for so many years in vain. Although he might not be able to become the Supreme Divine Alchemist, it was still very good to reach the top of the Divine Alchemists.
Before Ling Chen could say anything, Fang Bu 'er couldn't wait to flatter him, "Divine Master Zheng is indeed an old Divine Master. I'm afraid the position of Chief Divine Master will belong to you!"
If Ling Chen was the master of the Dragon Gate, then Zheng Can was the master of all the alchemists in the Dragon Gate. He was in charge of supervising all the alchemists in the sect. Even the divine alchemists of the other peaks had to listen to him.
This was the true purpose of being the chief apothecary.
It was just that Zheng Can had ignored the affairs of the world for many years and had always let the Godly Apothecaries manage their own people. That was why there were signs of the Godly Apothecaries taking sides.
If Zheng Can gathered all the great Divine Apothecaries together, this power would instantly surpass the strength of the other two sects.
After all, this was where the true rallying power of an alchemist lay.
Fang Bu 'er's intention of flattering Zheng Can in front of everyone in the hall was self-evident. Naturally, he hoped to build a good relationship with Zheng Can.
If Zheng Can could lean towards the Divine Body Sect, then all of this would change.
Zheng Can smiled and nodded. He didn't say anything, but he was naturally very happy in his heart.
"Divine Master Zheng is indeed amazing. He actually reached the level that only the Supreme Divine Alchemist can achieve. It is really worth learning from all the alchemists." Ling Chen praised him and then began to evaluate Gong Tanzhan's dan.
After the elders had finished their evaluation, Ling Chen announced, "Divine Master Gong has refined twelve divine dan beads. Eight of them are top quality and four of them are semi-finished. They are eight Healing Dan, three Accelerating Dan, and one King God Dan. Not bad, not bad. I think Divine Master Gong is like Divine Master Zheng. He can make many dan beads in one cauldron. It's really a blessing for our Dragon Gate!"
After listening to Ling Chen's announcement, Gong Tanzhan couldn't hide his contented smile. He couldn't help but glance at Ling Xiao and think, "Kid, even if you refine faster than me, I can still suppress you. It's a pity that my cultivation base is lower than Zheng Can's. Otherwise, I would have surpassed him!"
Gong Tanzhan was just a high-level King God Realm. There was a big gap between him and Zheng Can who was a Half Incipient God Realm expert. However, it was really surprising that he could reach this level.
At this moment, Ling Xiao smiled at Qi Yangtai and said, "Divine Master Qi, didn't you say that ten divine materials can only refine ten dan beads at most?
Then … how do you explain these two Divine Masters?
Could it be that they added it on their own? "
Qi Yangtai's face turned red. "Hmph, how can you compare to the two Divine Masters? They've been practicing alchemy for who knows how many years. It's not surprising that they've reached such an unfathomable level."
"Haha, is that so?" Ling Xiao smiled and didn't deny it.
Qi Yangtai glared at Ling Xiao and didn't say anything else. However, he hated Ling Xiao in his heart. "Kid, I'll see how you make a fool of yourself later!"
Right after that, Ling Chen continued to announce Lucha, Qi Yangtai, and Fu Yan's situation.
Lucha had refined seven dan beads, four healing dan beads, two speed-increasing dan beads, and one God King Dan. He had wasted three sets of materials, but his success rate had reached seventy percent.
Compared to ordinary Divine Alchemists, this success rate wasn't low. The main thing was that the dan beads required wouldn't be too difficult to refine. For a top-grade dan like the God King Dan, it would be good if he could achieve a fifty percent success rate.
Qi Yangtai had refined six dan beads, three healing dan beads, two speed-increasing dan beads, and one semi-finished God King Dan. He had wasted four sets of materials, but his success rate had reached fifty-five percent.
Fu Yan had refined four dan beads, three healing dan beads, and one speed-increasing dan. His success rate was only forty percent, which was the ability of an ordinary Divine Alchemist. He was also the worst among these people. At the same time, he had only been a Divine Alchemist for a short time, around a thousand years.
The strength of the top few people was the same as usual. The only highlight was Ling Xiao, the new Divine Alchemist.
Everyone couldn't help guessing that Ling Xiao would be lucky if he could refine one or two pills.
But when they thought about how Ling Xiao had caused a huge commotion, they felt that he might be able to refine one or two more!
Ling Chen's expression changed slightly when he saw the pills Ling Xiao had submitted. At the same time, he couldn't hide his joy.
Then, he passed Ling Xiao's medicinal pellets to the other elders.
Then, the elders on the judging panel had strange expressions on their faces.
"Impossible, he must have cheated!" Fang Bu 'er couldn't help but cry out when he received Ling Xiao's pills.
"It's not up to you to decide whether I cheated or not!" Ling Chen frowned slightly as he shouted.
"No, headmaster, you must have cheated. Elders, don't you think so?
How could an immature brat like him refine so many pills? "Fang Bu 'er didn't believe him. He then turned to the others for their opinion.
A few elders from the Divine Body Faction nodded in agreement. The others didn't say anything, but from their expressions, it was clear they didn't believe it either.
"Hmph, Commander Fang, please watch your words. We've been watching the Divine Alchemists refine pills for the past few days. Everyone has handed over their finished pills. Don't tell me you can't see who's cheating?
Let's announce the results first. We'll let a few God Tier Masters evaluate them later. They'll be able to tell when these pills were formed. When the time comes, everything will be clear! "Ling Chen snorted in dissatisfaction.
Fang Bu 'er didn't dare say anything else after hearing Ling Chen's words. He was extremely anxious. If that brat really refined so many pills, then wouldn't the position of chief Divine Alchemist be his?
Thinking of this, Fang Bu 'er kept praying, "That brat must have cheated!"
"Divine Master Ling has refined a total of twenty pills. There are ten healing pills, six speeding pills, and four Divine King Pills. Each of them is of excellent quality, so they should all be excellent pills. Furthermore, he didn't waste any of the ingredients. It's really unbelievable. The elders sitting here don't believe this result either. Let's let the six Divine Alchemists take turns to evaluate them!" Ling Chen announced loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar.
All the Divine Alchemists revealed looks of disbelief.
"How … how is this possible? He must have cheated!"
"That's right. Divine Master Zheng only had a 90% success rate. He wasted a portion of the ingredients, but he could make so many pills in one furnace. Although some of the pills were semi-finished, this is his real strength. Divine Master Ling is so young. How could he be better than Divine Master Zheng? He must be cheating!"
"Yeah, I can barely believe that he could refine two or three pills. But he dared to refine twenty pills. It's too obvious that he cheated. Is there something wrong with his brain?"
"Haha, it seems like some people think that they can show off in front of so many elders just because they have some ability. They don't know what they're talking about!"
"With his character, how could he be a Divine Alchemist? I believe that he cheated to become a Divine Alchemist. His title should be revoked!"
These people were the disciples of the Alchemy Peaks. They didn't believe that Ling Xiao could achieve a grand slam and beat their Peak Lord.
After all, even an old Divine Alchemist like Zheng Can, a Half-incipient God Realm existence, couldn't do that. How could a new Divine Alchemist like Ling Xiao do it?
As the person involved, Ling Xiao still wore a faint smile. He didn't care what the others said.
"Divine Master Ling is really admirable. He cheated so well. I can't even catch up to him!" Qi Yangtai couldn't help but mock Ling Xiao again.
"Hehe, perhaps Divine Teacher Ling is really more skilled than us!" Gong Tanzhan echoed and laughed. Everyone could see his sarcastic expression.
Zheng Can also looked at Ling Xiao. His old eyes were full of disbelief, but he didn't say anything.
Lucha and Fu Yan sighed. They didn't believe that Ling Xiao could do it.
"Whether it's true or not, we'll know after everyone evaluates, right?
If you can't do it, don't think that others can't. You're so ignorant and ridiculous! "Ling Xiao shrugged and sneered.
"Such a shameless kid!" Qi Yangtai couldn't help but scold.
"Divine Master Qi, don't bother with young people. They're impulsive. If they do something wrong, we'll advise them. If they don't listen, we can't do anything," Gong Tanzhan raised his old brows.
