Chapter 53: Alchemy
"Whether it's true or not, I'll know when I make the medicine. Why question it?"
Wang Ping looked at Zhang Yuan and spoke calmly.
"I don't mean to question you, I'm just asking you a normal question. Even if you're not a fourth-grade alchemist, your cultivation alone would make you an elder of the Sword Spirit Sect." Zhang Yuan smiled and nodded, making an invitation. "Fellow Daoist, can you come with me to the alchemy room?"
"Okay." Wang Ping nodded.
"Sword Controlling Technique: Gathering Spirits."
Immediately, Zhang Yuan raised two fingers, and brilliant true energy fluctuations emerged from his fingers.
Then, a huge sword condensed from true essence appeared in front of everyone.
Looking at the white sword, the two mountain-guarding disciples all showed expressions of admiration and envy.
Generally, only those who are strong in the Lingyuan realm can fly in the air.
However, there are exceptions to everything.
The Sword Spirit Sect's martial art, the Sword Controlling Technique, can control thousands of swords, and can also be used to fly in the air. Even those at the Innate Realm or even the Acquired Realm can use this to fly.
When fighting against others, he is not only extremely powerful, but can also move forward and backward freely, which gives him a huge advantage.
If they can learn it, not only will they be extremely powerful in combat, but they can also fly in the air, which is very impressive.
By then, there will be no problem catching any junior sister.
Afterwards, Zhang Yuan flew away on his sword and disappeared into the sky, and Wang Ping also flew into the sky and chased after him.
Seeing this scene, the two mountain guarding disciples opened their mouths wide in shock.
The two had never expected that Wang Ping, who looked so young, was actually a powerful figure in the Lingyuan realm.
No wonder, even the sect leader calls the other party fellow Daoist, which is a title used to address powerful people in the Lingyuan realm of the same level.
…
In the pharmacy, Zhang Yuan brought Wang Ping here, which attracted the attention of the pharmacist here.
"Greetings, Sect Master." An old man came forward and bowed to Zhang Yuan. Then he looked at Wang Ping and the other two and asked in confusion, "Sect Master, who is this?"
"This fellow Daoist is Wang Ping, a fourth-grade alchemist who has come to join our Sword Spirit Sect." Zhang Yuan glanced at Wang Ping and said to the old man with a smile, "Elder Wu, as a third-grade alchemist, you can communicate more with fellow Daoist Wang, and perhaps you will gain something."
"A fourth-grade alchemist?" Elder Wu was stunned and looked at Wang Ping in shock.
"These days, there are really all kinds of people."
"Hehe, if he is a fourth-grade alchemist, then I must be a fifth-grade alchemist."
"I really don't know what the sect leader was thinking. He actually believed this liar and brought him to our pharmacy to disturb us while we were refining medicine."
When the other people in the pharmacy heard the conversation here, they looked at Wang Ping with suspicion.
Nowadays, there are really all kinds of people. They even deceived people and came to their Sword Spirit Sect.
There are only a few fourth-grade alchemists in Da Xia, and all of them reached this level when they were over a hundred years old.
Even if Wang Ping had good talent, even if he started making medicine since his mother's womb, it would be impossible for him to become a fourth-grade alchemist in his twenties.
"You are a bunch of idiots. Even the sect master calls you "fellow daoist". This means that you are a powerful person in the Lingyuan realm. How can you insult me?"
Elder Wu shouted angrily upon seeing this.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone reacted and became trembling with fear. They quickly apologized, fearing that Wang Ping would blame them.
A strong person in Lingyuan realm is not someone they can afford to provoke.
If he is considered as a fourth-grade alchemist, then his status is too honorable.
"Do you have the materials to refine the fourth-grade elixir, Lingyuan Pill? If you do, please bring them out."
Wang Ping asked Elder Wu.
"You want to refine Lingyuan Pills?" Elder Wu was surprised.
The difficulty of refining Lingyuan Pill is not small among the fourth-grade pills. Its effect is that it can allow a strong person in Lingyuan realm to advance to a higher level.
Moreover, because the materials are rare and the success rate of fourth-grade alchemists in Daxia in refining Lingyuan Pills is not very high, this kind of pill is even more precious.
Therefore, Lingyuan Pills are enthusiastically sought after by many powerful people in the Lingyuan realm.
Even the eccentric fourth-grade alchemist from the Jianling Sect had a success rate of no more than 40% in refining Lingyuan Pills.
"Senior, of course we have herbs, but I wonder if I can assist Master Wang in refining the medicine." Then, Elder Wu blushed and said rather awkwardly.
He has been stuck at the third-rank alchemist level for decades.
However, the fourth-grade alchemist from the Sword Spirit Sect had a strange temper and had no intention of teaching him at all.
If he were to rely on his own exploration, he would probably never be able to reach the level of a fourth-grade alchemist in his lifetime.
However, proposing to observe alchemy or something like that would be suspected of stealing someone's skills. Even Elder Wu, who had lived for more than a hundred years, felt very embarrassed.
"Sure." Wang Ping glanced at Elder Wu and nodded. "I heard that Elder Wu has been stuck at the third level for many years. If Elder Wu is willing to help me make pills in the future, I can give you some pointers."
Elder Wu actually had a pretty good personality, and he was his best lieutenant in his last life experience.
Therefore, Wang Ping had no intention of refusing.
"Master Wang, I am very grateful for your generous guidance. If you need anything in the future, please call me." Elder Wu was overjoyed and said quickly.
The grace of teaching and learning is the most profound.
Elder Wu never expected that Wang Ping would be so magnanimous, which made him admire him to the extreme.
At the same time, he also kept this favor firmly in his heart.
If Wang Ping could help him go one step further, he would even let him follow Wang Ping.
"Hurry up and bring the precious medicine over!"
Then, Elder Wu spoke anxiously to his disciples.
"Master, a fourth-grade precious medicine requires an application, please..."
Then, Elder Wu looked at the sect leader again.
"I allow Fellow Daoist Wang to use it." Sect Leader Zhang Yuan nodded.
This made Elder Wu overjoyed.
Next, after Elder Wu picked the precious herbs, Wang Ping and Elder Wu went to a closed medicine room to prepare to refine the fourth-grade elixir, Lingyuan Pill.
For a first-grade elixir, a high-level alchemist would have no problem refining it in a relatively noisy environment. However, when refining a high-grade elixir, there really cannot be any disturbances, as it would fail if one is not careful.
Zhang Yuan looked at the two people entering the sealed medicine room and couldn't help but smile: "I hope he can succeed. By then, our Jianling Sect will be considered to have found a treasure this time."
During the period when he was the sect leader , a genius in the Lingyuan realm who was also a fourth-grade alchemist came to him on his own initiative. This was undoubtedly a contribution to his career and made him more prestigious.
In a transcendent sect like the Jianling Sect, each sect leader cannot serve until death or voluntarily abdicate, but rather the cycle is fifty years.
After fifty years, if more than half of the supreme elders support him to continue to serve as the sect leader, he can continue to serve as the sect leader. If not, he will have to abdicate.
Now, during his tenure as the sect leader, a fourth-grade genius alchemist has come to him to surrender. I believe that the supreme elders will also support him in his re-election as the sect leader.
I have to say, Wang Ping is really his lucky star.
I just don't know where this genius alchemist came from. I have never heard of such a person in the world before.
