“Because every time he grabbed a portion of medicinal herbs, his entire movement followed naturally without any pause. In this way, others will naturally find it pleasing to the eye.”

Zhu Wangsheng looked at Feng Yin, the satisfaction in his eyes almost overflowing. He was too satisfied with Feng Yin. Naturally, Zhu Wangsheng was much easier to talk to. Even if someone asked a stupid question, he still answered patiently.

However, after answering, Zhu Wangsheng looked at Feng Yin’s actions and turned to look at the examiner who had yet to master this technique.

Zhu Wangsheng snorted softly and said disdainfully, “My disciple has just finished the college entrance examination and already knows this technique. I think it’s only a matter of time before he becomes a sixth-grade alchemist. Unlike some people, their intelligence hasn’t grown at all.”

When Zhu Wangsheng said these words, his eyes kept looking at the grade five alchemist beside him who had asked the question. It was obvious who he was talking about.

Being treated like this by Zhu Wangsheng, the fifth-grade alchemist Fei Xin really couldn’t hold it in anymore. She looked at Zhu Wangsheng’s handsome face and couldn’t help but want to beat him up. She clenched her fists so tightly that they creaked!

“Alright, alright. It’s not like you don’t know that Master Zhu is like this. He’s not targeting you.” Seeing Fei Xin’s impatient temper, You Meng was so scared that he hugged Fei Xin’s arm, afraid that Fei Xin would really beat Zhu Wangsheng up.

Even though Fei Xin was only a grade five Perfect Grade Alchemist, her talent in martial arts far exceeded her talent in alchemy. She was only in her thirties and was already a Marquis-level big shot.

Even though a certain seventh-grade alchemist’s status was far higher than Fei Xin’s, his strength was only at the Warrior Realm. If Fei Xin really fought with Zhu Wangsheng, Zhu Wangsheng would really be no match for Fei Xin. You Meng was also very surprised!

Zhu Wangsheng was clearly a rookie, but his mouth was so vicious. Sometimes, You Meng wondered if Zhu Wangsheng’s face had saved him. If it were You Meng himself, he would have beaten him to death.

No one knew exactly why Zhu Wangsheng was able to grow up alive. After successfully angering Fei Xin, he began to explain the biggest reason why Feng Yin could do this.

“For my disciple to be able to do this, it should be because of his talent in alchemy. It will be very difficult for you to reach his level.

“However, no matter how difficult it is, you have to do it. You have to know that from a Perfect Grade Five alchemist to a Perfect Grade Six alchemist, the first thing you need is to be able to grasp all the medicinal ingredients in the ingredients.

“Only then can you place all the medicinal ingredients into the pill furnace in a fixed ratio when refining the pill. You have to know that a sixth-grade perfect-grade medicinal pill has to be accurate within a second. If you place it a little later, this cauldron of medicinal pills will be useless.”

Zhu Wangsheng made it sound easy, but it was extremely difficult to achieve what he said. Otherwise, there would not be only three Perfect Grade Seven alchemists in the entire Nine Provinces Federation.

Even the number of Perfect Grade Six Alchemists in the entire Nine Provinces Federation could be counted on two hands. Of course, there were many alchemists who could not refine Perfect Grade medicinal pills. There were even Grade Eight and Grade Nine alchemists.

It was just that in terms of status, these alchemists were far inferior to Perfect Grade.

“However, the medicinal properties of each medicinal herb will change slightly due to various reasons such as time, place, and place of growth. We memorized all the medicinal ingredients before we refined the pills. When we really refined the pills, there would still be deviations.”

After hearing Zhu Wangsheng’s words, You Meng could not help but ask.

Facing his question, Zhu Wangsheng raised his hand and pointed at Feng Yin, who was already at the end of his refinement. “What you have to do is to use the sixth sense of your soul to sense the medicinal properties of the herbs. At the same time, every action cannot be unnecessary or omitted.

“You have to be able to know the quantity of this medicinal ingredient in your mind when you get the medicinal ingredients, and when you throw it into the pill furnace, it must happen to be stuck at a certain time.”

Zhu Wangsheng did not explain it too clearly. There were many mysterious things in alchemy. It was impossible for You Meng and Fei Xin to reach Feng Yin’s level.

Feng Yin relied on his innate talent, not his sixth sense.

You Meng and Fei Xin could only rely on their daily practice to reach this stage.

You Meng and Fei Xin were also very clear about this point. However, it was already difficult to advance to the Perfect Grade Six alchemist. Not to mention that there was a solution now, even without it, they would still do their best to advance.

The Nine Provinces Federation needed powerful martial artists and powerful alchemists.

If he could do both, then he would truly be a national treasure. Zhu Wangsheng was just a little weaker and could not go to the battlefield. Once he went, he was destined to be targeted by all the races.

Therefore, most of the time, Zhu Wangsheng used medicinal herbs that had been soaked before to refine pills. The medicinal properties of such medicinal herbs would always be slightly worse than fresh ones.

Zhu Wangsheng had not been able to break through to the Perfect Grade Eight Alchemist for a long time. Firstly, his strength was a little low. Secondly, he could not pluck the medicinal herbs directly, he had to let them soak.

Zhu Wangsheng had always felt that his identity as a seventh-grade alchemist had been exposed too early. If it had been any later, he might have been able to make a perfect eighth-grade pill, the Mirror Breaking Pill.

With the Mirror Breaking Pill, those martial artists who had been stuck at the King Realm for a long time would be able to break through.

Zhu Wangsheng felt that the possibility of him making a breakthrough was slim. That was why he was strict with his disciples. All he wanted was to nurture a Perfect Grade Eight Alchemist in the Nine Provinces Federation.

As he thought about this, Zhu Wangsheng fixed his gaze on Feng Yin. In Zhu Wangsheng’s opinion, Feng Yin would be the person he hoped for.

The rest would depend on Feng Yin’s pills in this pill furnace.

However, at the next moment, Zhu Wangsheng frowned when he saw Feng Yin’s extremely deliberate actions. According to the normal procedure, Feng Yin’s pill furnace would turn into eight superior-grade pills. One pill was 99% supreme-grade, and one percent was a perfect-grade pill.

In the end, with just a tremble of his hand, this cauldron of medicinal pills was crippled.

At that moment, Zhu Wangsheng could not help but ask Feng Yin why he had deliberately made a mistake!

Sensing the condition of the pill in the pill furnace, Feng Yin heaved a long sigh of relief. He thought to himself that it was a good thing that he was stuck in the end. Otherwise, it would have become a perfect-grade pill.

Feng Yin, who felt that it was appropriate to hide, was completely unaware of his future mentor had already pulled him from “my precious disciple” into the ranks of “must be properly educated.”

Once the pill was formed, the three examiners in charge of invigilating looked at each other. None of them dared to give Feng Yin a third-grade alchemist certificate.

They didn’t dare!
