"Humph! What ancient alchemy technique inheritance? A low-level fourth-grade is still a low-level fourth-grade. Could it be that your Crimson Firmament Divine Dynasty can't afford to lose?”
Shui Wuxing said loudly.
In fact, he knew that what Zhao Lian said made sense.
In the ancient era, the threshold for alchemists was extremely high because every pill formula was so complicated that it dazzled people.
Even if one wanted to become a grade one alchemist, one would still need extremely exquisite fire control techniques to perfectly fuse so many spiritual medicines together.
However, as time passed, many of the spirit herbs from the ancient era had already gone extinct. It was difficult to gather the complicated pill formulas of those spirit herbs.
In addition, the requirements of ancient alchemy for fire control techniques were too high, which was not conducive to the reproduction and development of alchemy.
Later generations of alchemists had thus carried out a huge revolution!
That was to reduce the complexity to simplicity, and to carry out a large-scale reduction of various ancient pill formulas, only retaining less than one-tenth of the spirit medicines.
This meant that the difficulty of refining medicine was only one-tenth of that of the ancient era, or even worse.
Of course, if the number of spirit herbs added was too little, the effect of the spirit pills refined would naturally be greatly reduced. Similarly, it was less than one-tenth of the ancient era.
Such an innovation had its pros and cons.
The advantage was that the threshold for alchemists had been lowered. A large number of alchemists had been added, causing the alchemist world to prosper and develop.
The disadvantage was that the later generations of alchemists were far inferior to the alchemists of the ancient era in terms of fire control, Harmonious Spirit, and other techniques. In other words, their foundation was not solid enough.
This also led to the number of alchemists in the later generations being hundreds of times more than in the ancient era, but the number of top alchemists was far less than in the ancient era.
Just like building a tall building, the foundation was the key to determining the final height of the building!
The foundation of ancient alchemists was extremely solid. It seemed that the improvement of their cultivation realm was very slow, but their future achievements were far from what later alchemists could compare with.
In other words, if Ling Chen could reach the 4th rank, then his pill refining foundation was enough to beat all the current 4th rank pill refiners, and even 5th rank pill refiners.
In terms of alchemy skills, it was not too much to call him a 'grandmaster'.
Hearing Shui Wuxing's sophistry, Zhao Lian snorted coldly and said,""Everyone in the alchemy world knows how difficult ancient alchemy is. Young noble Ling was able to cultivate it to the fourth realm and refine an ancient Face Preserving Pill. This exquisite technique can be called a 'master' anywhere.”
Shui Wuxing's face turned purple, but he didn't dare to refute.
Many legendary figures in the current alchemy world highly praised ancient alchemy techniques, believing that they were the orthodox alchemy techniques. They also took special care of alchemists who insisted on cultivating ancient alchemy techniques, at least giving them an additional grade of treatment.
That was to say, a tier four alchemist who cultivated ancient alchemy skills could obtain a status equal to a tier five alchemist in the current alchemy world, or even higher.
This was the consensus of the alchemist world. If he dared to refute in public, he would be ostracized by the entire alchemist world in the future.
Ling Chen had never thought that the Grade 7 Alchemist Inheritance he had casually exchanged for would actually be a Grade 7 Alchemist Inheritance from the ancient era.
Didn't that mean that his alchemy skills had surpassed all the tier 7 alchemists of the current generation?
On the other side, Shui Wuxing was still unwilling to lower his head and shouted,""I admit that Ling Chen's pill concocting skills far surpass mine, but so what? The Alchemist Grand Meeting's judging standard was not the refining technique, but the quality of the refined spirit pills! If you all can't take out a spirit pill of a higher grade than my Soul Revolving Pill, then the champion of this Alchemist Grand Meeting is still none other than me!”
The faces of Zhao Lian and the others immediately darkened. The rules of the Alchemist Grand Meeting were indeed so. It made them angry but helpless.
"Humph, you only refined a Tier 4 high grade spirit pill, is it worth showing off like this? Look closely at the higher grade spirit pills!”
After brewing for a total of 12 hours, Xiao Yueying finally refined the spirit pill. She suddenly raised the pill furnace into the air.
"Boom!"
The 'Green Lotus Core Flame' rotated rapidly, and a raging fire wave swept across the entire area.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the lid of the crimson pill furnace soared into the sky, and a vast and distant fragrance instantly filled the entire area.
"This is…"
"This is the aura of a Tier 5 Nascent Cultivating Pill!”
"Tier 5 Nascent Cultivating Pill? A fifth-grade Nascent Cultivating Pill that could increase the cultivation of Nascent Soul cultivators?”
"This is too terrifying. This is a fifth-grade spirit pill!!”
"Who is this woman? She actually possesses the strength of a tier five alchemist.”
"No, this spirit pill's aura is indeed a fifth-grade Nascent Cultivating Pill, but its quality seems to have only reached the peak of fourth-grade. Could it be that the refinement failed?”
"To be able to condense the Nascent Cultivating Pill to such an extent, this woman at least has the strength of a top tier four alchemist. Unfortunately…"
“……”
All the audience members in the stands were boiling with excitement.
Tier 4 to Tier 5, this was a qualitative change. The vast majority of pill refiners would never be able to cross this threshold in their entire lives.
A grade four alchemist could only refine spirit pills that were needed by Core Formation cultivators, while a grade five alchemist could refine spirit pills that were beneficial to Nascent Soul cultivators.
In the current alchemy world, unless one cultivated in ancient alchemy techniques, one had to at least reach the Fifth Stage Realm to be called a grandmaster!
Below grade five, one was only an alchemist, and reaching grade five, one was an alchemist grandmaster!
The two were completely different.
However, there were also people who discovered that this Nascent Cultivating Pill seemed to be a little lacking. It hadn't reached the Fifth Stage Realm.
Now that the pill furnace had been opened, if he could not sublimate the pill within the next ten breaths, this pill refinement would be considered a failure.
Shui Wuxing's eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the pill furnace and said savagely,""Impossible! I don't believe that you can refine a fifth-grade spirit pill! Your spirit pill has failed to condense!”
"Hmph, then I'll crush you until you're convinced!”
Xiao Yueying spoke in a very domineering manner. She took a step forward and formed a seal. A powerful aura erupted from her body.
Spirit Ascension Technique, First Cycle!
This was Concubine Yan's secret medicine refining technique. It could absorb a large amount of natural energy to replenish the spirit pills in a short period of time, elevating the quality of the pills.
Xiao Yueying was still not proficient in it, so she could only use the first rotation.
But that was enough.
In an instant, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the surrounding thousands of meters surged, as if it had sensed something, and quickly gathered towards the crimson pill furnace in the sky.
It formed a spiritual energy tide that merged into the pill furnace.
The quality of the pills in the furnace also rose rapidly.
"Open the furnace!"
Xiao Yueying's palm flipped, and a blood-red precious pill flew out of the pill furnace, shining brightly on the entire place.
It was the famous fifth-grade Nascent Cultivating Pill, the spirit pill that all Nascent Soul realm cultivators sought to increase their cultivation.
"Good!"
Scarlet Heaven Empress stood up and cheered for Xiao Yueying. Her eyes were filled with excitement.
This was not only because Xiao Yueying had preserved the reputation of the Crimson Firmament Divine Dynasty's alchemist world, but also because their Crimson Firmament Divine Dynasty had an additional grade five alchemist that was comparable to a Nascent Soul Stage mighty figure.
Xiao Yueying suppressed her excitement and tidied up her robes. She said loudly,"Xiao Clan, Xiao Yue Ying greets the Imperial Lord!”
"You are Xiao Yueying? Xiao Clan's Xiao Yueying?"
Scarlet Heaven Empress asked in surprise.
"That's right."
Xiao Yue's Shadow Ninja cried tears of excitement.
She concealed her identity to register for the Alchemist Grand Meeting in order to amaze the world once again.
They would use the most dazzling method to announce to everyone in the Holy Capital that their Xiao family was back!
"Good! Good! Good!"
Scarlet Heaven Empress's eyes were filled with surprise as she said,""I hereby announce that the Xiao Wu family, one of the four royal families that founded the country, has returned to the ranks of the top families in the Holy Capital!”
