Chapter 14: Perfect-Grade Pill, Big Deal

Feng Yin stood in the principal’s office and watched helplessly as Zhang Lan and Zhao Yusheng moved all the tables in the office to the side. After the two of them cleaned up, the center of the entire office was completely controlled to be about four square meters.

Zhang Lan walked around the empty space and sat down again. He sat down and probed a few times before nodding. “Take it out.”

“Sure thing.” Zhao Yusheng happily responded and took out an emerald green pill furnace about the size of a palm from the ring on his pinky.

This pill furnace looked like a three-legged cauldron. The body of the cauldron was emerald green, as if it was polished from high-grade jade. There were three rice-sized gems embedded on the top.

There was a bulge on one of the feet of the cauldron. It must be the switch to control the flames in the cauldron.

Zhao Yusheng took out the pill furnace and carefully placed it in the center of the empty space. Then, he wiped his palm against the ring and took out ten sets of medicinal ingredients on the Body Refinement Pill formula.

“I know that the success rate of a Grade One alchemist rarely exceeds 10%, but the Federation’s verification is according to the Alchemist Association. If you want to undergo a genius evaluation or an alchemist evaluation, you need to use ten portions of medicinal herbs to successfully refine it.” As Zhao Yusheng spoke, he smiled as if he was afraid that Feng Yin would be nervous. “However, you don’t have to be anxious. We’ll relax a lot in terms of time. Student, just adjust your state and take it slow.

“Oh right, I almost forgot.” Zhao Yusheng patted his head and reminded him again, “Student, we need to record the entire refinement process this time. You don’t mind, right?”

“It’s okay.” Feng Yin shook his head. After Zhao Yusheng told Feng Yin everything he could think of, he walked to the empty space in the middle of the office and sat down cross-legged.

Looking at the medicinal ingredients lined up in front of him, Feng Yin silently made the arrangement of the medicinal ingredients his daily habit. Feng Yin did not want to change the system’s optimized pill formula.

He had always been using this pill formula. If he suddenly changed it, he might fail. He might as well use this pill formula and make some mistakes in the time when refining the pill later. It should be able to lower the quality of the pills.

With a plan in mind, Feng Yin no longer hesitated. He grabbed the pill furnace in front of him and gently pressed his finger on the protruding part of the foot. A light green flame immediately ignited in the furnace.

After the furnace was warmed up, Feng Yin reached out to grab the medicinal ingredients beside him and tossed them into the furnace.

Feng Yin had yet to show any signs of nervousness. Zhao Yusheng, who was standing in front of him and breathing softly, was so frightened by Feng Yin’s actions that he sucked in a breath of cold air. It was so close that he did not cry out in surprise!

This-this was too sloppy!

Zhao Yusheng pointed at the way Feng Yin kept throwing medicinal herbs into the pill furnace and grabbed Zhang Lan’s sleeve anxiously.

Unlike Zhao Yusheng, Zhang Lan nodded when he saw Feng Yin’s actions. When he turned his head and saw Zhao Yusheng’s anxious expression, he thought of giving him a reassuring look.

Zhang Lan was transferred over from another place. Before he was transferred over, he had once protected an alchemist. That alchemist was evaluated as a genius. When he was protecting that alchemist, Zhang Lan had also been fortunate enough to witness that alchemist refining pills, similar to Feng Yin’s actions.

The quantity of medicinal ingredients was never measured. It was directly thrown into the alchemy furnace.

Later on, Zhang Lan asked about the list and found out something from the alchemist. There was a kind of person in this world who was born with the ability to sense the medicinal properties of medicinal herbs.

Their hands, or rather, their first instinct after taking the medicine, far exceeded the weighing of the herbs.

Later on, the alchemist leveled up too quickly and Zhang Lan was removed. Zhang Lan originally thought that he would be able to meet one alchemist with such talent. He did not expect to meet another one in Langya Base City.

The moment Zhang Lan saw Feng Yin’s actions, he guessed that there should not be any mistakes in the ranking this time.

Feng Yin had no idea what Zhao Yusheng and Zhang Lan were thinking. He stared intently at the alchemy furnace in front of him. He was even more serious than the pills he usually refined and sold.

Alright, after one second, some of the medicinal properties of the herbs inside should have been burned away. Sensing the changes in the pill furnace, Feng Yin’s eyes lit up. He immediately threw in the last medicinal herb in his hand and closed the lid.

After waiting for about an hour, the three gems on the lid of the furnace lit up.

“It’s done.” Feng Yin lifted the lid of the cauldron and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the three pills and a small pile of medicinal dregs in the cauldron. Fortunately, he had timed it well. Otherwise, these pills would have been wasted.

When Zhao Yusheng and Zhang Lan heard the voice, they also walked forward and took a look inside the pill furnace.

“Please wait a moment. We need to verify the grade of these three pills.” Zhao Yusheng said.

“Okay.” Feng Yin nodded and took two steps back, giving up the seat inside.

One was in charge of recording, while the other took out the pills from the pill furnace and placed them on a small instrument. Every time a pill was placed, the device would ring. In the beginning, the pills were not much. They were just high-grade pills. To ordinary alchemists, they were very rare.

However, compared to alchemists who could be evaluated as geniuses, it was ordinary.

This situation lasted until the last pill was taken out by Zhao Yusheng. Just as he habitually placed the pill on the apparatus, he heard Zhang Lan’s voice. “Wait!”

Zhang Lan was a step too late. Zhao Yusheng had already placed the pill on the device. Almost the moment Zhang Lan finished speaking, the device’s voice sounded, “Beep, a perfect-grade pill.”

“Perfect-grade medicinal pill?” Zhao Yusheng turned his head to look at the medicinal pill in the device and was momentarily confused. He really didn’t notice it, so he put it on. Would anyone believe him if he said that later?!

Perfect-grade medicinal pills were too rare. The Nine Provinces Federation had clearly stated that if they found a Perfect-grade medicinal pill, there was no need to put it into an instrument to check.

It was to prevent anyone from tampering with it. In the end, Zhao Yusheng did not pay attention and placed the medicinal pill in! If Feng Yin was strong enough, it would be fine if he had the ability to protect himself, but the key was that Feng Yin did not!

If this matter was exposed, some forces would probably not be able to sit still.

When Zhang Lan saw that the matter had already been settled, he directly took out the badge he had brought over. He picked out the one that corresponded to Feng Yin’s genius evaluation and handed it to Feng Yin.

“In a while, return to the classroom and pretend that nothing happened. I know that for you to suddenly expose your talent at your age, you must have received guidance from someone else. That person should be able to be trusted if he can give you guidance. If you need any help from the Federation in the future, just get that person to contact me. Here’s my contact information.”

Zhang Lan quickly finished speaking and gave his contact number to Feng Yin. Then, he grabbed Zhao Yusheng and walked out. They saw the principal, Teacher Zhang, and the head of the base who came over to ask for the results.

Zhang Lan subconsciously wanted to say, “Take them all away!” Fortunately, he remembered at the critical moment and couldn’t mobilize a large force. “Don’t ask anything. If someone asks you, pretend that you don’t know anything.”

After saying this, Zhang Lan quickly got into the car and rushed towards the base city’s military district.
