Chapter 1091

(Unedited)



The difficult part and the reason why Xin Ja could not practice creating other pills are the names of the particular herbs and their characters. Everything is different, and he is only able to create some basic pills because of eavesdropping and is able to compare the things he learned to the things he could see.

Xin Ja is a bit shy to ask anyone, so he could only do eavesdrop on conversations every now and then. So one could imagine how happy he is feeling right now that he is able to know the herbs and actually see their shapes. He could not wait to try on the pill that is in his mind.

But it seems that trouble just followed him.

"And where do you think you're going?" a haughty young man stood in his path.

"A country bumpkin like you does not belong here… I have already noticed you a while ago. Those eyes of yours and your ways are giving me a bad taste in this assessment." The young man added.

"Hey… Teacher! Would it be fine if we kick out this one? I think he did not need to take the test, right?" the young man suddenly called out.

The sound of chuckles could be heard from the crowd.

For some unknown reason, the young man and some of the crowd look at Xin Ja with a hint of scorn in their eyes.

The teacher showed a bit of hesitation but then he stood up and walks to the two.

"Young man… You are Xin Ja, right? Have you ever done alchemy before?" he said with a teacher's demeanor.

"Yes… somewhat…" Xin Ja said as he did not know if the pills he made could be considered alchemy as there is a huge difference in the process of making them.

"Haha… That is a lie... Wait a minute... Xin Ja?... Xin... Oh, I remember now, you're that… fool. The son of that Xin Jong, right?" the young man said with a mocking tone.

The crowd began to discuss while throwing Xin Ja some mocking gazes. They now know who the kid is and that he is the famous trash and fool of the town.

At this time, Xin Ja is once again a bit affected by the conversation and mocking words he is hearing. However, at this time, he has already resolved himself to not let this get into him. He wanted to prove to himself that he could overcome this weakness inside of him and that he would be able to face others and not hide anymore.

Go Fang is the one mocking Xin Ja while Tang Bai just stood to the side and did not bother with the fiasco. He instead began to concoct the potion he wanted to make.

The teacher on the side feels a bit of pity towards Xin Ja, but he could not do anything towards Go Fang. How could he go against the Go family in the town?

"I… I just want to make something. If it is a failure then you can throw me out, if it is not, then I can stay, right?" Xin Ja suddenly said in a low voice.

When the people around him heard his words, they all laughed with derisive tone.

"Haha… Alright, let's see what the fool can do…"

On the side, Qing Joming just stood and did not do anything. How could he not have noticed the sharpness in Xin Ja's gaze? He might look a bit meek, but he knew that in those eyes there is something different, something that is being contained.

In fact, he could have stopped this, but he decided not to intervene. He is genuinely interested in what this new friend of his can really do.

And so, with that challenge, Xin Ja calmly walks to the vacant part of the alchemy table. He decided to begin to process the herbs first. He saw how the people process the herbs and it is by using mortar and pestle and then boiling them to gather the herbal extract.

But he did not know fully well that process, what he knew is a different way to process and purify the herb.

He began by lighting the small stove. He did not grind the herb using the mortar and pestle, but instead, he began by taking a beaker and putting the herb in it. He then immediately put the beaker on the fire.

Xin Ja suddenly controlled his Ki and the fire slowly grew and became hotter. Then he uses his absolute sense every now and then to detect the changes in the herb. Soon, after seeing the changes, he quickly extracted the essence of the herb and discarded the waste.

At this point in time, the people around him are already dumbfounded. Some wanted to mock Xin Ja but they held it in because they could already see the extract of the plant on one of the test tubes. Xin Ja did the same thing to the other herbs on the table and began to prepare the extracts.

Using a glass beaker, he coated it with his Ki and then mixes all of the extracts in it.

When the alchemy teacher saw this he immediately shakes his head. However, he already has a favorable impression of Xin Ja from how he extracted the herb's essence. In fact, he has already determined to do some experiments and practice the process. He knew that if he could learn it, his potion crafting ability will jump by leaps and bounds.

However, what he could not understand is why Xin Ja combines the extract just like that…

"Haha… What a newbie… Didn't he know that combining the extract just like that without correctly measuring everything is the worst decision he just did? That would have an adverse effect on the potion and it would surely fail…" Go Fang sneered while he commented on the side.

"What he should have done is to separate the extract and measure them little by little so that he could know the right effect…" someone said on the side.

"Fool, that would still ruin everything. He should have already done the measuring before putting everything in the beaker… What a waste."

"What a bumpkin…"

While some are talking to the side, other did not leave their sight on Xin Ja and stay quiet as they observe what he is doing, and one of those people is Qing Joming. His eyes are already glowing and a smile is already plastered in his mouth.

Qing Joming is able to make intermediate or middle-grade potions, so how could he not know and see what is happening inside the beaker right now?

He could already tell that the extracts are actually slowly forming into something solid instead of liquid with his keen eyes.

Because the beaker is transparent, one could see the formation of several ball-like objects the size of a thumbnail.

"What is that? What if happening?"

"This… This is the first time I've seen such an alchemical product."

"Wait a minute, I think I've read this from the books. In ancient times, people are able to make… Ummm… alchemical pills! That's right, this is the one they call pills."

"This… how could this thing form just like that?"

The people began to talk and guess at what they are seeing right now. The gasp and commotion in the alchemy booth have already attracted a couple of eyes in their direction. In fact, someone from the crowd already has his eyes bulging in disbelief.

Divine Doctor Ba truly wanted to quickly jump to the platform and then see what is happening up-close. But he could not do so as it would get the attention of the people and he knows that his disciple did not want his help right now.

Ba Baoji actually has seen some pills before. But they are already old and inconsumable… he saw it while he is on his trip and has accidentally entered a cave which turns out to be a Shen abode.

He tried experimenting on the pill, but it was to no avail as with one touch it suddenly turned into dust.

So seeing a pill forming right before his eyes even though it is a bit far is still something that made him happy.

While everyone is in awe of what is happening, the expression of Go Fang turned ugly. How could he expect that the young could actually create something that he has not learned from before? This situation is a big slap on his face and he hated when being offended like this. So his eyes turned a bit hostile.

"How could a bumpkin like you steal my limelight?" he thought as he glared at Xin Ja.

Suddenly an idea came to his mind as a sinister smile appears on his face. He knew that if his idea could gain the support of the rest in the platform, then this atrocious person who offended him would surely be kicked out of the academy.

He suddenly takes a step forward as soon as the flame stopped and the pills were created. Pointing his finger, he suddenly said in a loud voice.

"This is not a medicine… this might be something poisonous! Only poison could have such shapes and color!"
