Within the Green Shadow Furnace, a series of thunderous booms erupted, startling everyone watching in the Elixir Workshop.
Zhou Chencheng, who had been sneering the entire time, suddenly wore a look of shock, his eyes bulging round.
"Elixir Sound Becoming Thunder, how is this possible? My master once mentioned that only legendary Alchemy Grandmasters could achieve this, how could it appear in the hands of this dead fatso!"
Zhou Chencheng’s face was indescribably grim as he stared intensely at Shi Xiaoshou.
But soon his brows furrowed again, "This could just be a coincidence, merely a sound similar to it produced by refining the Poria Pill..."
Thinking of this, Zhou Chencheng suddenly felt that this must be the case, and his expression finally eased somewhat.
However, Lin Tian, standing behind Shi Xiaoshou, looked shocked.
Not only because Shi Xiaoshou grasped the simplified version of the Five Elements Emperor Pill Hand to such an extent for the first time, but also because this guy actually produced Elixir Sound Becoming Thunder during refinement, which meant that it was very likely to create a top-grade Poria Mysterious Pill!
"Struck gold! This fatso’s talent in alchemy is incredible! Even with decent talent, it would be extremely difficult to perform the Five Elements Emperor Pill Hand so quickly, even the simplified version!"
Lin Tian looked at the figure of Shi Xiaoshou, secretly amazed, "Was that Fuyao Wanderer blind? Such an alchemy genius yet ignored! If it weren’t for me, he would be doomed to oblivion!"
While Lin Tian sighed, Shi Xiaoshou was also wide-eyed, at a loss.
Shi Xiaoshou suddenly felt unable to control the Pill Furnace, as an explosive aura inside began to grow.
"Quickly regain your focus, it’s almost done!"
Lin Tian also noticed Shi Xiaoshou’s lost demeanor and quietly concentrated a sound line to admonish him.
Shi Xiaoshou’s whole body shook, quickly regaining his focus.
As Shi Xiaoshou continued refining, the thunderous sound within the Green Shadow Furnace became more clear and louder, causing agitation among the onlookers.
At this moment, Shi Xiaoshou seemed to lose control, and with a buzz, the charcoal fire under the furnace went out.
The crowd was stunned.
"It was indeed a coincidence, with the charcoal fire out, I wonder how he’ll solidify the pill!"
Seeing this scene, Zhou Chencheng’s face relaxed, secretly breathing a sigh of relief.
Shi Xiaoshou’s eyes instantly turned red.
The situation just now, he managed to guess what it meant.
Originally thinking he could refine an Advanced Profound Pill, but unexpectedly, it was going to fail.
Excitement and tension turned into despair.
But at this moment, a stream of True Qi, wrapped in Samadhi True Fire, swiftly shot out from Lin Tian’s direction and entered the Pill Furnace.
Suddenly, a more massive booming sound came from the furnace, causing the furnace lid to tremble violently.
A few breaths later, the furnace suddenly quieted down.
"The Poria Pill is complete!"
Shi Xiaoshou’s chubby face was full of ecstasy as he opened the furnace and took out the elixir.
A completely crystal-clear elixir appeared in the palm of Shi Xiaoshou’s hand.
Everyone watching instantly widened their eyes, their faces full of shock. For original chapters go to novel_fіre.net
The Elixir Workshop fell silent in an instant.
"Poria Pill! This has reached the level of an Advanced Profound Pill, and... how could this be?"
At this moment, Zhou Chencheng first exclaimed, his face filled with disbelief.
Someone in the crowd recovered and asked Zhou Chencheng in confusion: "Young Master Zhou, did Mr. Shi, not... did Mr. Shi really refine an Advanced Profound Pill? And you said, what else?"
However, Zhou Chencheng ignored that person, clenching his fists tightly, emitting a cracking sound.
"If I’m not mistaken, Mr. Shi refined this Poria Pill to not only reach the Advanced Profound Pill level, but its quality has reached... top-grade!"
At this moment, Boss Guu of the Elixir Workshop couldn’t help but speak. He looked at Shi Xiaoshou, full of disbelief, even changing his address for Shi Xiaoshou. As the boss of the workshop, he naturally possessed acute insight and knowledge in the Alchemy Dao, as he immediately recognized, "A top-grade elixir, even Senior Fuyao has not been able to refine this, right?"
"What! A top-grade Advanced Profound Pill! How is this possible!"
There was an uproar in the Elixir Workshop as everyone’s eyes on Shi Xiaoshou changed.
The mocking and disdainful gazes that had originally been directed at Shi Xiaoshou turned into respect and apprehension.
What kind of existence could refine a top-grade Advanced Profound Pill?
That was a genuine Advanced Profound Pill Master, only a step away from becoming an Alchemy Master, being enough to stand on equal footing with the Fuyao Wanderer!
Such a person, that is someone who cannot be offended easily!
Many secretly swallowed, slightly bowed their heads, feeling uneasy.
"I... I... I really refined an Advanced Profound Pill? And its quality even reached top-grade?"
As the person involved, Shi Xiaoshou was bewildered, looking at the elixir in his hand, after hearing Boss Guu’s words, he was at a loss.
It’s a pity... Shi Xiaoshou’s level in understanding the Five Elements Emperor Pill Hand was limited, otherwise, this Poria Pill, refined using the Emperor Pill Hand, should easily reach the top-grade!
Lin Tian wasn’t quite satisfied because even a simplified version of the Five Elements Emperor Pill Hand isn’t something ordinary cultivation alchemy methods in the Cultivation World can compare with, let alone on Earth, this backward place.
Refining a Poria Pill, such a low-grade elixir, using the Five Elements Emperor Pill Hand, not reaching top-grade, seemed inadequate to Lin Tian.
Encountering an alchemy genius like Shi Xiaoshou, Lin Tian was still extremely delighted.
If this fatso were given enough conditions and resources, surpassing him in alchemy in the future wouldn’t be impossible!
"This is a top-grade Poria Pill! It’s at the level of an Advanced Profound Pill!"
Lin Tian walked over, patting the still stunned Shi Xiaoshou, reminding him, "This time you won!"
"This... this... really? Hahaha... damn it, I refined an Advanced Profound Pill, and it’s top-grade! The Green Shadow Furnace is mine!"
Shi Xiaoshou was initially amazed, then laughed exuberantly, hugging the furnace in front of him with excitement.
Zhou Chencheng’s face was as dark as water, he gritted his teeth, intending to quietly leave.
"Friend, you haven’t fulfilled the bet!"
Lin Tian had been watching Zhou Chencheng, and when he saw the latter trying to sneak away, he spoke up at once.
Zhou Chencheng paused, glaring at Lin Tian with a murderous look.
All other eyes in the Elixir Workshop involuntarily turned towards him.
"Zhou Chencheng, you’re trying to slip away?"
Having refined an Advanced Profound Pill, Shi Xiaoshou spoke with newfound confidence, holding the furnace and turning back to shout at Zhou Chencheng, "Kneel before me, and crawl out, barking like a dog three times!"
Hearing this, those watching looked at each other, not daring to speak.
Now, neither side could be easily offended, and everyone chose silence.
"Damn you, this waste, thinking you could get away with anything just because you made an Advanced Profound Pill? You dare ask me to kneel, do you want to die!"
Kneeling and crawling out while barking like a dog in front of so many people, Zhou Chencheng couldn’t afford to lose this face, naturally unwilling, "Today, I lost, but someday soon I’ll challenge you again!"
As he said this, Zhou Chencheng’s cold gaze swept over the others, commanding, "Whoever mentions today’s events, I’ll kill them!"
Zhou Chencheng gestured to a few of his subordinates and was about to leave.
Shi Xiaoshou could only watch, not daring to stop him, as the opponent was indeed much stronger.
Lin Tian suddenly stepped forward, blocking Zhou Chencheng’s path, coldly saying, "I believe you misunderstood, it’s crawling out, not walking!"
