The grandmasters were confused. Was it normal for an alchemist to resist the lightning calamity alone? Why didn’t anyone teach them?
Did they learn the wrong things?
Should alchemists train their physical bodies and increase their martial arts cultivation so that they could withstand the lightning calamity?
Grandmaster Hua Yuan, Grandmaster Harol, and Grandmaster Kirton felt that they needed to understand their field again.
“Grandmaster Wang Teng, you’re indeed…” Grandmaster Hua Yuan was caught between laughter and tears. He didn’t know how to finish his sentence.
“Grandmaster Wang Teng is an interesting person!” Ji Yuanqing laughed heartily.
“This is?” Wang Teng asked curiously when he saw the unfamiliar face.
“This is Mr. Ji Yuanqing from the Ji family. The Ji family is one of the eight dukes in the empire,” Alfred introduced.
“The Ji family! It’s my honor to meet you!” Wang Teng was stunned. He didn’t think that he would meet another powerful faction here.
Sinclamon’s family was also from one of the eight dukes. It had only been a while yet he had already met another family.
Didn’t they say that these powerful families were all extremely mysterious?
Why did he meet two of them in such a short time? Both of them interacted with him too.
“Grandmaster Wang Teng, I came because I want to buy the Nine Essence Soul Congealing Pill from you.” Ji Yuanqing was direct.
“Buy the Nine Essence Soul Congealing Pill?” Wang Teng was surprised. He finally knew Ji Yuanqing’s intention. “Mr. Ji Yuanqing, how do you know that I was refining the Nine Essence Soul Congealing Pill?”
Ji Yuanqing explained what had happened.
So this is the grandmaster whom I got the prescription from. Wang Teng was enlightened. He glanced at Grandmaster Kirton strangely.
He didn’t think that he would be so lucky. A random prescription he picked up was able to hook a big fish like the Ji family.
Indeed, he was the son of Lady Luck!
Wang Teng’s luck attribute was much higher than a normal person’s, so it would silently show off its effects during crucial times. Unfortunately, after parting with Little Zi Ye, he never met another luck attribute bubble.
“Grandmaster Wang Teng, can you let us take a look at the Nine Essence Soul Congealing Pills?” Grandmaster Kirton asked.
He would be lying if he said that he felt nothing.
Wang Teng didn’t just snatch his chance to befriend the Ji family. He also broke his monopoly on the Nine Essence Soul Congealing Pill market.
If that was it, he would feel alright. However, the quality of Wang Teng’s dans was higher than his. He hadn’t reached 20 and was already confirmed to be a grandmaster in two fields. There was even a chance that he was a triple-field grandmaster.
Compared to Wang Teng, he was like a pile of mud.
Grandmaster Kirton was unconvinced. He wanted to see how high the quality of Wang Teng’s dans was so that he could know the difference between them.
“That’s right. Grandmaster Wang Teng, take it out. We’re all very curious,” Grandmaster Hua Yuan agreed.
Wang Teng nodded. He took out the bottle containing the Nine Essence Soul Congealing Pills and placed it on his palm.
The grandmaster alchemists gathered around him and stared intently at the three purple dans.
“Do y’all see the ten patterns on the surface of the pills?” Grandmaster Hua Yuan’s expression changed as he exclaimed in surprise.
There were ten green patterns on the surface of the purple dan, connecting the nine crevices together. All three dans had the same patterns.
“Oh my god! You’re right! There are ten patterns!” Grandmaster Harol counted them carefully and gasped in astonishment. “Ten patterns! This is a Nine Essence Soul Congealing Pill with 100% efficacy!”
Grandmaster Kirton’s expression changed. He glared at the dans in the bottle and counted the patterns on them again and again.
The numbers were correct. There were indeed ten patterns.
“How’s this possible?” Grandmaster Kirton’s face turned pale. This was a huge blow to him. He felt even more thunderstruck.
It was hard enough to make a pill with 80% to 90% efficacy. If an alchemist could refine a dan with 90% efficacy, he could boast about it for ten years.
As for 100% efficacy, the majority of the grandmasters would never be able to achieve it in their entire alchemy career.
Only grandmasters with extremely high mastery might be able to make one out of coincidence. Luck was an important factor here.
However, this Grandmaster Wang Teng managed to make a 100% efficacy Nine Essence Soul Congealing Pill, and he made three at once.
Grandmaster Kirton suddenly felt that he was a joke. Why was he even thinking of comparing with Wang Teng?
“Let me take a look, let me take a look.” Grandmaster Hua Yuan couldn’t bear to shift his gaze away. He seemed to have found a rare treasure.
To these grandmaster alchemists, a 100% efficacy dan had a different significance.
Ji Yuanqing was overjoyed. “100% efficacy Nine Essence Soul Congealing Pill? If you deliberately plant a flower, it will not bloom, but if you unintentionally plant a willow, it will provide you with shade. Grandmaster Wang Teng, you managed to solve a pressing matter for me by participating in an assessment.”
“It looks like you really need this Nine Essence Soul Congealing Pill.” Wang Teng was elated. This was a favor sent to his doorstep and that too from a powerful family.
“Grandmaster Wang Teng, if you sell it to me, I’ll purchase it at the highest price and the Ji family will owe you a favor,” Ji Yuanqing said seriously.
Grandmaster Hua Yuan was hesitant.
He was filled with regret. This was a 100% efficacy dan. It was a waste for it to be eaten the moment it was made.
But the other party came from a ducal family. He couldn’t stop him.
Wang Teng was surprised by Ji Yuanqing’s generosity. Well, he came from a duke family, so he wouldn’t lack money. Wang Teng nodded and smiled. “Money is secondary. The most important thing is, we seem to have some fate. If not, I can’t bear to sell this 100% efficacy pill.”
This was bullshit. With his alchemy mastery, he would be able to refine more 100% pills easily. He was just saying this to increase the value of this favor.
“Pfft!” Someone suddenly burst out laughing.
Wang Teng looked in the direction of the sound and saw many people standing behind Ji Yuanqing. A pretty young lady was covering her mouth and chuckling softly. She seemed to find this situation very funny.
Wang Teng nodded. What was so funny? This young lady was bad at controlling her laughter.
Ji Yuanqing laughed too. “Grandmaster Wang Teng is right. I went an entire round and ended up finding you. Isn’t this fate?”
Wang Teng nodded. Ji Yuanqing was good at talking.
“Grandmaster Wang Teng, to tell you the truth, my grandfather is in a critical condition, but I didn’t bring any money with me. Can you give me a dan first? I’ll order my men to send money to your residence soon,” Ji Yuanqing asked.
“Of course!” Wang Teng smiled. “The Ji family is a large and powerful family. I don’t think you’ll cheat me for a pill!”
Ji Yuanqing was delighted by Wang Teng’s trust.
Wang Teng took out a Nine Essence Soul Congealing Pill and placed it in another jade bottle. Then, he passed it to Ji Yuanqing.
“Thank you!” Ji Yuanqing bowed to Wang Teng gratefully. Then, he left with his men.
Grandmaster Kirton felt jealous when he saw Wang Teng striking a deal with Ji Yuanqing. This should be his…
The other grandmasters were envious too. The favor of the Ji family wasn’t easy to get. This time, the Ji family came to look for him. Wang Teng didn’t need to do anything. He was honestly lucky.
“Grandmaster Wang Teng, can you sell me a dan too?” Grandmaster Hua Yuan suddenly asked.
“Grandmaster Hua Yuan, do you need a Nine Essence Soul Congealing Pill?” Wang Teng was surprised.
“Alchemists like us need to use our spiritual power all the time so our soul would get exhausted occasionally. Since there’s a 100% efficacy Nine Essence Soul Congealing Pill here, I don’t think I should give it up,” Grandmaster Hua Yuan smiled and answered.
Grandmaster Harol and the others reacted and said hurriedly, “Grandmaster Wang Teng, sell me one too!”
“Grandmaster Wang Teng, sell it to me. I’m willing to give a higher price!” another grandmaster alchemist said.
“Grandmaster Wang Teng, sell it to me. I’ll give you a high price and make a weapon for you!” a grandmaster blacksmith said.
“Grandmaster Wang Teng, I’m willing to give you a grandmaster-level dan prescription!”
The grandmasters started fighting with one another.
Wang Teng was in a daze. He didn’t know that 100% efficacy dans were so popular!
Grandmaster Kirton stood at the side and stared at him in jealousy. He felt that his position was in danger. The Nine Essence Soul Congealing Pill did not solely belong to him anymore.
This was a sad and sorrowful event!
“Grandmasters, I only have two dans left. It’s hard for me to choose who to sell it to. There’s one more set of ingredients. Why don’t I make more Nine Essence Soul Congealing Pills after my smithery assessment so that all of you can get one?” Wang Teng said with a forced smile.
“Grandmaster Wang Teng, are you confident of making 100% efficacy Nine Essence Soul Congealing Pills?” Grandmaster Hua Yuan was flabbergasted.
“It shouldn’t be a problem.” Wang Teng nodded.
The crowd didn’t know if they should believe him or not. After all, it was extremely difficult to make a 100% efficacy pill. Even if he succeeded once, they weren’t certain that he could succeed again.
If Wang Teng managed to make more 100% efficacy Nine Essence Soul Congealing Pills, he would be a genius!
“Either way, let’s wait for the smithery assessment to end first,” Grandmaster Hua Yuan said.
The other grandmasters had no choice but to agree. The 100% efficacy Nine Essence Soul Congealing Pill was important but so was the triple-grandmaster title.
Wang Teng had already passed two grandmaster assessments. There was only the smithery assessment left.
“Finally, it’s my turn!” A muscular grandmaster blacksmith chuckled.
“Grandmaster Mo De, don’t be too harsh on him. We’re relying on you to see if we can have a triple-grandmaster in our alliance,” Grandmaster Alfred reminded him.
“Don’t worry. With Grandmaster Wang Teng’s physique, I’m sure smithery won’t be a problem,” Grandmaster Mo De smiled and replied with shimmering eyes.
“You seem confident of me.” Wang Teng laughed.
“Of course!” Grandmaster Mo De smiled too. “Grandmaster Wang Teng, please follow me.”
