Originally, Zhu Wanwan wanted to tell Zhu Wanzi that he could refine a large number of top-grade pills. However, after knowing that Zhu Wanzi had spent so much time to refine a pill, he decided to delay telling his great-aunt about it for a few days.
Three days later, on a very ordinary morning, Zhu Wuwan pretended to be nonchalant and said, “”Grandaunt, I can already refine three types of pills and have officially stepped into the ranks of an apprentice alchemist.”
“What?” Zhu Wanzi didn’t understand and looked at Zhu Wanwan in a daze.
“I’m already an official alchemy apprentice. If I can refine more than three kinds of pills, can I report it to the clan so that I can refine a large number of pills?” Zhu Wuwan smiled.
Only by obtaining the identity of an official alchemy apprentice would Zhu Wuyang have the opportunity to come into contact with more and rarer medicinal herbs and dregs. This way, the benefits would be even greater.
“Hiss…”
Zhu Wanzi sucked in a breath of cold air and looked at Zhu Wanwan in disbelief. With a trembling voice, she said, “”You’re fine. You ??Are you serious?”
” Of course it’s true. I’ve been staying at Huo Yuan Peak for the past half a month. I’ve been practicing secretly at night when there’s no one around. Although I failed hundreds of times, I’ve finally succeeded in refining three kinds of pills. ” Zhu Wanwan explained once again. In order to increase credibility and prevent Zhu Wanzi from feeling too inferior, Zhu Wanwan deliberately told a little lie.
Although he had indeed failed hundreds of times, that was under the circumstances of successfully refining dozens of pills. Most of them were top-notch pills, which was the best batch of pills that alchemy apprentices could refine. freeweɓnovel.cm
On average, each pill failed less than ten times. Even the most difficult pill only failed more than ten times.
Even though Zhu Wanwan had deliberately mixed up the number of failures, Zhu Wanzi was still stunned.”Good grandnephew, are you sure that you only failed a few hundred times and successfully refined three kinds of pills?”
“I’m sure.” Zhu Wuan realized that ever since he came to Huoyuan Peak, he had been seeing his great-aunt in a daze. Coupled with her chrysanthemum-like old face, he could not help but laugh.”If you don’t believe me, I can demonstrate it to you on the spot and let you see it with your own eyes.”
Zhu Wanzi nodded repeatedly. ” Alright, alright, alright. You’d better demonstrate it to me. If you don’t, I won’t be able to believe it. ” You must know that in the past, Great Aunt had failed thousands of times before she finally succeeded in refining three kinds of pills and stepped into the ranks of apprentice alchemists.”
” But grandnephew, you’re too strong. You actually failed a few hundred times and successfully refined three kinds of pills. It’s really unbelievable. Oh right, which three kinds of pills did you refine? ”
“This…” Zhu Wanwan thought about it for a moment and didn’t dare to tell Zhu Wanzi about the pills that were too powerful. She only chose three relatively simple pills.”Healing pills, stamina pills, and fasting pills!”
These three pills were relatively simple. The healing pill was the easiest, followed by the stamina pill, and the fasting pill was more difficult.
“Hiss…”
Great Aunt Zhu Wanzi began to gasp again. She was so shocked that her anus had scattered.”Back then, I failed hundreds of times before I managed to refine the simplest healing pill. The second pill I chose was also the stamina pill, but I failed about 3,000 times.”
“Good grandnephew, you are indeed a genius. After failing a few hundred times, you have successfully refined the healing pill, the stamina pill, and the fasting pill…Such talent is not inferior to the Peak Master of our Huoyuan Peak, Senior Zhu Chuanhuai. If Peak Master Zhu Chuanhuai knows about your talent, he might take you in as his personal disciple.”
Looking at his great-aunt, who was grinning from ear to ear, Zhu Wuwan couldn’t help but sigh. No wonder his great-aunt had cultivated alchemy for more than a hundred years, but she was still in the realm of alchemy apprentices.
It was just a mere strength pill, but it actually failed more than 3,000 times before it succeeded. When he was refining the strength pill, he had failed a few times. It seemed to have only failed once.
After being humble, his talent was comparable to the Peak Master of Huoyuan Peak. Did he want the Zhen Clan to be jealous of him to death? Or was his great-aunt exaggerating? It seemed that he had to be careful in the future. He must not let anyone know that he had the strength of an official alchemist in the short term.
Zhu Wanzi could not help but sigh as she led Zhu Wuyang to a remote underground fire cave.
“Good grandnephew, it seems that your grandaunt’s lifelong wish will fall on you. If you can step into the ranks of official alchemists within a few decades, and it was your grandaunt who led you into the cultivation world of alchemy, then even if your grandaunt dies, it will be enough to rest in peace.”
” The youngest apprentice apothecary in Huoyuan Peak is fifteen years old. Moreover, he has received the inheritance of alchemy since he was young. Grandnephew, you are only seventeen years old. You haven’t learned alchemy since you were young, but you can become an apprentice apothecary in such a short time. Such talent should not be inferior to that genius of alchemy. ”
” Sigh, grandnephew, if you can become an official apothecary before the age of twenty-five, then you’ll have broken the record of that pill dao prodigy. At that time, the entire Hundred Poisons Sect will be in an uproar. Even if your cultivation talent is lacking, our Hundred Poisons Sect will do our best to nurture you. At that time, the Zhen Clan will definitely target you. ”
“Our Peak Master Zhu Chuanhuai’s Hundred Poisons Elixir Solution is known as the Hundred Poisons Sect’s number one Alchemy Dao Encyclopedia. If grandnephew can obtain Peak Master Zhu Chuanhuai’s favor and become his personal disciple, you might be able to obtain the Hundred Poisons Elixir Solution. As long as you can cultivate the Hundred Poison Elixir Solution to perfection, you will definitely become a low grade top grade alchemist. You will be able to concoct low grade top grade spirit pills and become famous in the entire Southern Wasteland.”
Perhaps because she was too excited, Zhu Wanzi kept talking along the way. She was so excited that she almost jumped up.
This was especially so as Zhu Wuyang refined healing pills, stamina pills, and fasting pills under her gaze. In order to avoid exaggerating, Zhu Wuyang deliberately failed several times.
But even so, Zhu Wanzi was still mesmerized by the scene.
“I didn’t expect all of this to be true. Grandnephew, you’re really too amazing. At such a young age, you’re able to refine three types of pills and become an apprentice alchemist. You’re more than ten times stronger than Grandaunt. Back then, Grandaunt only became an apprentice alchemist when she was around fifty years old.”
“Although great aunt became an apprentice alchemist a little late, to be honest, you can’t blame great aunt entirely. The main reason is that great aunt started late. She only started to cultivate the art of alchemy at the age of twenty. If great aunt started to cultivate the art of alchemy at your age, she should be able to…No, becoming an apprentice apothecary before the age of 40 is possible!”
