Chapter 54: Fifth Rank
An hour later, Elder Wu looked at the alchemy furnace.
He looked at the white pill that was emitting white fluorescence and his face was filled with shock.
Wang Ping's technique in refining Lingyuan Pill was so skillful and the process was so smooth that he even suspected that what he was refining was not Lingyuan Pill, but a first-grade pill.
However, the fourth-grade Lingyuan Pill with a fragrant smell and white fluorescent smell placed in front of him proved that what Wang Ping had refined was indeed the fourth-grade Lingyuan Pill , and the quality looked very good, at least a top-grade Lingyuan Pill.
"Refining a fourth-grade elixir mainly depends on controlling the fire." Wang Ping looked at Elder Wu and instructed, "The temperature cannot be wrong at all, otherwise the quality will decline. In serious cases, the elixir will be useless."
"Of course I know the importance of temperature." Elder Wu smiled bitterly. "However, the temperature of a fourth-grade elixir is too complicated for ordinary people to control. Even though you have given me instructions several times before, I still haven't fully mastered it."
"It can be considered complicated. However, the difficulty is incomparable to that of a fifth-grade elixir." Wang Ping shook his head and said, "If the subtle control of the temperature is the most important thing to become a fourth-grade alchemist, then a fifth-grade alchemist not only needs to have perfect control of the temperature, but more importantly, cultivation . If you don't reach the extraordinary realm, you will never be able to reach the fifth grade in your lifetime."
"Yes." Elder Wu nodded, looking forward to it, and said with great regret: "Unfortunately, let alone a fifth-grade alchemist, even a great power in the extraordinary realm has not appeared for hundreds of years."
The level of cultivation has little impact on alchemists below the fifth rank, and those in the innate realm can refine fourth-rank pills.
Even the flame used for alchemy can be assisted by external flames.
Therefore, in theory, it is possible for one to become a fourth-grade alchemist with the acquired realm cultivation.
However, the fifth-grade medicine is not enough. The fifth-grade precious medicine already has spirituality and tenacious vitality. Ordinary flames cannot melt it into liquid medicine.
At the same time, ordinary flames have no spirituality and their temperatures are not high enough. Only the flames condensed by cultivators in the extraordinary realm have a terrifying enough temperature and spirituality, which can be called spiritual fire. Only then can they be used to refine spiritual fifth-grade elixirs.
Therefore, the fifth-grade alchemist is a legendary existence in the Black Turtle Continent, with only in ancient books.
The fourth-grade alchemist from the Jianling Sect had been seeking opportunities outside all year round in order to become a fifth-grade alchemist. He wanted to quickly improve his cultivation and hoped that he could break through to the extraordinary realm in his lifetime and become a fifth-grade alchemist.
"Over the past thousand years, all fourth-grade alchemists in history have been stuck due to limitations on their cultivation levels," Elder Wu sighed.
Of course, he was just expressing his feelings.
After all, his talent was limited, and he only hoped to reach the fourth rank in his lifetime.
He didn’t even dare to think about the fifth rank.
“However, senior may have hope of reaching the fifth rank.” Then, Elder Wu looked at Wang Ping with awe and said.
Although this was flattery, it also made me feel that Wang Ping really did have a glimmer of hope.
After all, Wang Ping is already a fourth-grade alchemist at such a young age. As long as he can successfully enter the extraordinary realm in the future, becoming a fifth-grade alchemist will be a foregone conclusion.
By then, the entire Black Turtle Continent will respect Wang Ping as the leader.
This is true whether it is because of strength or the level of the alchemist.
If Wang Ping wants to establish his own sect in the future, pharmacists and cultivators from all over the world will surely come to join him, and his sect is destined to become the number one sect in the ages.
"Who can tell what will happen in the future?" Wang Ping shook his head, looking calm. He put away the Lingyuan Pill and placed it in a white jade bottle.
Seeing Wang Ping so indifferent, Elder Wu sighed inwardly.
Young and promising people are often arrogant.
However, Wang Ping is so young, but his character is so calm and steady, neither arrogant nor impatient, which is really amazing.
It can be said that even if Wang Ping does not have the talent of a pharmacist, he will definitely become a great man in the future.
There is also such a person in their Jianling Sect, and that is Bai Tianhong, the disciple of the Grand Elder.
However, Bai Tianhong is still younger than Wang Ping, and now he is too aggressive.
…
Next, Wang Ping and Elder Wu left the alchemy room.
As soon as the two came out, everyone in the pharmacy looked at them, wanting to know the result.
"Senior is truly a remarkable man. He was able to refine a top-grade Lingyuan Pill with ease." Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Elder Wu stroked his beard, his face full of respect, and spoke with some fanaticism.
"hiss!"
As soon as these words fell, there was a sound of people sucking in their breaths and looking shocked.
They didn't expect that Wang Ping actually succeeded and even refined the top-grade Lingyuan Pill.
This level of alchemy is a little too terrifying.
For a moment, many old alchemists couldn't help but have an idea in their minds.
This senior is so terrifying.
“He is actually a fourth-grade alchemist, and his alchemy level is even higher than that of the fourth-grade alchemist in my Sword Spirit Sect…” Zhang Yuan’s eyes gleamed, his face was full of smiles, and he clenched his fists.
This really is a genius fourth-grade alchemist that I found for free.
He can now add a glorious achievement to his resume as a clan leader.
"We have to win him over in the future. If we can get him to lean towards our faction, then my position as the leader will be secure. Even if Bai Tianhong grows up, he won't be able to shake my position."
Zhang Yuan thought secretly in his heart, wondering what good things their faction could offer to win over Wang Ping.
"Haha, fellow Taoist, I was short-sighted. I didn't know there was a genius like you in the world. I'm sorry for offending you just now. Please forgive me." Zhang Yuan looked at Wang Ping who was walking towards him, smiled elegantly, and bowed to apologize.
"Master, when people from my hometown apologize, they will bring something as compensation to show their sincerity." Wang Ping looked at Zhang Yuan and said with a warm face.
"..." Zhang Yuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "If you want to apologize, then that's what I should do."
In Zhang Yuan's view, Wang Ping was expressing his dissatisfaction with him.
After all, when he came to the pharmacy before, he did have some doubts and asked Elder Wu to learn from Wang Ping.
Fourth-grade alchemists are all arrogant, let alone a genius like Wang Ping.
It is quite normal for the other party to feel dissatisfied.
