Dan Wu Academy had already paid the test fees for their students. Both Wang and Sun obviously could not casually test the medicinal pill.
Wang Jinfu suddenly recalled something. Slapping his thighs, he exclaimed, "Miss Feng . . ."
Halfway through his sentence, he stopped abruptly. That was because when he turned his head, he found out that Feng Ruoqing currently had her eyes shut, and she had entered a strange state.
"Sudden enlightenment!" Wang Jinfu sucked in a cold breath.
No wonder he did not hear Feng Ruoqing speak until now. She had actually entered a sudden enlightenment state!
"Her soul strength is growing. She's about to break through!" Sun Jianming clearly also noticed her peculiar state.
'Everyone be quiet! Don't interrupt Miss Feng's breakthrough!" Wang Jinfu said in a low voice.
The test hall instantly quietened down. Everyone was focused on Feng Ruoqing's breakthrough.
Feng Ruoqing had long held a studious mindset when watching Ye Yuan's Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique. After Ye Yuan's refinement became dreamlike and mystical, she felt like she comprehended something. Following which she entered a state of sudden enlightenment.
Nobody here had more profound attainments than her in term of the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique. Also, nobody understood the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique better than her.
Towards the end, Feng Ruoqing's divine soul and Ye Yuan's Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique developed a resonance, and under this resonance, her divine soul gradually grew stronger.
Feng Ruoqing's soul strength was only a hair's breadth away from being a high-rank Alchemy Master. Relying on this resonance, she successfully crossed the threshold and finally became a high-rank Alchemy Master.

Chapter 67. Testing Medicinal Efficacy! |
All of a sudden, the surrounding essence energy gathered around Feng Ruoqing, forming a small essence energy storm around her.
Feng Ruoqing greedily absorbed the concentrated essence energy and broke through the shackles in one motion.
Originally, she was at the Sixth Level Spirit Condensation Realm. Taking advantage of the sudden enlightenment to break through, not only did her soul strength broke through to the high-rank Alchemy Master realm, but her cultivation also broke through the Sixth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, directly rising to the Seventh Level Spirit Condensation Realm.
Only after the essence energy in the hall recovered its tranquility did Feng Ruoqing slowly opened her eyes.
"Congratulations, Miss Feng, in advancing to high-rank Alchemy Master in one stroke!"
Wang Jinfu immediately went up to congratulate, and the others also came up to express their felicitations.
Feng Ruoqing could breakthrough to high-rank Alchemy Master at such an age. In the future, it was basically a given for her to become an Alchemy Grandmaster.
It was essential to be on friendly terms with a future State of Qin's major figure now.
Except that while Feng Ruoqing returned the well-wishes perfunctorily, her eyes scanned the crowd, but in the end, she failed to find the person she was looking for.
"Many thanks for everyone's compliments. Ruoqing dare not accept it. For Ruoqing to be fortunate enough to breakthrough today, I still have to thank Ye Yuan. I wonder, where did he go?" Feng Ruoqing asked in puzzlement.
In the state of sudden enlightenment, Feng Ruoqing was completely dead to the outside world. She was still not aware that Ye Yuan had already left.
"Miss Feng, because Ye Yuan completely exhausted his essence energy to forcefully refine the Tier 2 Strengthening Pill, he went back to rest right after he exited the refining room," Wang Jinfu replied.
Feng Ruoqing came to a realization. 'Then the medicinal pill he refined . . .?"
The moment she mentioned the medicinal pill, everyone's expressions became peculiar. Feng Ruoqing was baffled, but her heart jumped, and she asked anxiously, "Don't tell me Ye Yuan failed? Impossible!"
"Relax, Miss Feng. Of course, Ye Yuan passed. It's just . . ." Wang Jinfu found it hard speak up.
In reality, it was somewhat impetuous to test the medicinal pill that other people refined. However, Wang Jinfu really wanted to know if this transcendent-grade Tier 2 Strengthening Pill had any special effects.
"It's just what?" Feng Ruoqing asked curiously.
Wang Jinfu sighed and said, "I'm also not afraid that Miss Feng will laugh. Not only did that Ye Yuan refine a Tier 2 medicinal pill, but it was also a transcendent-grade Tier 2 medicinal pill! His performance earlier was simply miraculous! So . . ."
Hearing Wang Jinfu said all that, Feng Ruoqing immediately understood in her heart.
Transcendent-grade Tier 2 medicinal pill.
These six words represented extraordinary significance in the State of Qin's alchemy world!
Even a high-rank Alchemy Grandmaster could not refine a transcendent-grade Tier 2 medicinal pill! Even if the medicinal pill was the lowest of the low Tier 2.
Tier 2 medicinal pills and Tier 1 medicinal pills were two completely different concepts. The soul strength requirement was not high for Tier 1 medicinal pills. It was easier to refine in comparison.
However, the complexity level of Tier 2 medicinal pills was several times, even dozens of times of Tier 1 medicinal pills!
Because of that, a more powerful soul strength was necessary to advance to Alchemy Master.
This gap also brought about a phenomenon. Tier 1 medicinal pills would occasionally come out as transcendent-grade. However, a transcendent-grade Tier 2 medicinal pill had never appeared in the State of Qin before!
Hence, Wang Jinfu really wanted to see just what effects this medicinal pill had.
Seeing everyone look at her with expectant eyes, Feng Ruoqing obviously did not feel nice to reject. In reality, she was also curious just how mystical this so-called transcendent-grade Tier 2 medicinal pill was.
Even if Feng Ruoqing was the only one who believed that Ye Yuan could refine a Tier 2 medicinal pill among this crowd, the shock that she currently felt was no less than the rest.
Feng Ruoqing felt that it was extremely appropriate for Wang Jinfu to use the word 'miracle' to describe Ye Yuan's refinement just now.
"Since that's the case, then test it out."
Hearing Feng Ruoqing said this, everyone let out a sigh of relief, and their eyes shone with anticipation.
"Hahaha. I finally refined a Tier 2 medicinal pill! I'm also an Alchemy Master now!"
Right at this moment, a somewhat crazed laughter echoed out. The audience involuntarily turned to look, only to see Feng Zhirou.
This made everyone recall that there were still two examinees who had not come out yet . . .
Feng Zhirou caught sight of Feng Ruoqing and danced with joy. Rushing in front of her, she shook her hands as she said, "Aunt, I actually refined a Tier 2 medicinal pill! I didn't expect Ye Yuan that punk to really have a few tricks up his sleeves. He casually gave a few pointers, and I refined a Tier 2 medicinal pill. Now, I'm also an Alchemy Master!"
"What? Ye Yuan gave you pointers?" Feng Ruoqing asked in bewilderment.
"Yeah. He said that my cultivation law restricted my soul strength, so he told me not to refine with full strength. I followed his method and really refined a Tier 2 medicinal pill! Although what was refined is only the lowest Tier 2 medicinal pill, at least it succeeded! Yii? Where's Ye Yuan? Don't tell me he's not out yet?" Feng Zhirou still had not sensed the unusual atmosphere and carried on tal
king by herself.
Feng Ruoqing, Wang Jinfu, and Sun Jianming exchanged glances and saw the wordless shock in each other's eyes.
Casually gave a few pointers and he could make Feng Zhirou advance to Alchemy Master?
Just what kind of monster was this Ye Yuan?!
. . . . . .
Right now, the Alchemist Association's training room was already packed with people.
Two Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists stood in the center of the training room. They were the martial artists who would test this transcendent-grade Tier 2 Strengthening Pill.
Testing a medicinal pill's effects was a highly dangerous matter. That was because nobody knew what kind of consequence would result from eating the medicinal pill.
However, testing a very mature medicinal pill such as the Strengthening Pill would not be too dangerous. Furthermore, the medicinal effects of a transcendent-grade Tier 2 medicinal pill would only make someone stronger. It naturally would not cause any harm to a martial artist's body.
These two martial artists were decided after an intense debate. One was called Cheng Hua, while the other was called Zhu Qiang.
Cheng Hua was at the First Level Spirit Condensation Realm, while Zhu Qiang was at the Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm. There was a difference of four minor cultivation realms between the two of them, which also meant a minor stage gap.
This gap was huge.
It was highly difficult to jump ranks and battle within the Spirit Condensation Realm. It was because the difference was very large even between one minor cultivation realm. Not to mention four minor cultivation realms.
A Tier 2 Strengthening Pill, even if it was a high-grade Tier 2 Strengthening Pill, could not allow a First Level Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist to defeat a Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm even after the partial strengthening. Unless the Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm stood still there for him to hit.
However, nobody had ever tried a transcendent-grade Tier 2 medicinal pill's effects. Hence, as a precautionary measure, the powerful Zhu Qiang was chosen to be the sandbag to avoid accidental injuries.
Zhu Qiang's mission was to stand there and take an attack head-on from Cheng Hua!
Even so, Zhu Qiang did not feel that Cheng Hua could hurt him. The difference between them was not something that could be breached using medicinal pills!
Even if it was a transcendent-grade medicinal pill!
Under everyone's eyes, Cheng Hua consumed the transcendent-grade Tier 2 Strengthening Pill which Ye Yuan refined.
Many people were envious of Cheng Hua. He was the first martial artist in the State of Qin to consume a transcendent-grade Tier 2 medicinal pill!
"Haha. How's the feeling of eating a transcendent-grade Tier 2 medicinal pill?" Zhu Qiang asked with a laugh.
Cheng Hua who initially had his eyes closed to sense the medicinal strength opened his eyes and flashed Zhu Qiang a smile. "I feel am full of power! I'm attacking. Be careful, Brother Zhu!"
Zhu Qiang also gave a laugh as he said boldly, "Come on. Even a transcendent-grade Tier 2 medicinal pill can't compensate for the enormous difference in cultivation realms!"
Cheng Hua did not waste his breath and threw a punch.
A single fist struck out, and then there was silence.
Chapter 68. Awe from a Single Fist |
Zhu Qiang really became a sandbag.
He was punched away flying like one.
Zhu Qiang flew over 30 meters before he barely managed to stop.
His face was pale like paper, and a line of fresh blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth. Clearly, he suffered internal injuries that were not light.
Cheng Hua looked at his fist, and then looked at Zhu Qiang blankly.
"Did I really unleash that fist just now?" Cheng Hua felt like he was dreaming.
Just now, when the medicinal pill reached his stomach, he casually directed the medicinal strength into his right arm.
Following which, he felt his right arm surged with a violent strength!
This surging strength made him feel like he had to expend it.
In accordance with the prior arrangement, Cheng Hua did not use any martial techniques. Just a simple punch. But this simple punch managed to injure a Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm expert!
"Brother Zhu, a-are you ok?" Cheng Hua did not have any intention of hurting anyone. But the fact was he had injured Zhu Qiang.
"S-still alright."
Zhu Qiang did not expect the strengthened punch to be so incredibly powerful to actually injure him.
Of course, this punch did not cause him any substantial injuries. After all, Cheng Hua did not use any martial technique, so this strength naturally was not fully unleashed.
The defensive might of a Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm was highly terrifying. Logically speaking, it was impossible for a First Level Spirit Condensation Realm to harm a Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, even if he ate medicinal pills.
Yet now, Cheng Hua truly injured him!
Currently, Zhu Qiang was terrified. Luckily just now, they stipulated not to use martial techniques. Otherwise, it would be hard to say if he could even stand up straight right now.
Zhu Qiang did not underestimate him just because he was a First Level Spirit Condensation Realm. In fact, he already used the bulk of his essence energy to block.
Cheng Hua injured him under this kind of circumstance.
"Quick! Let Zhu Qiang take this medicinal pill!" Wang Jinfu was the first to react, and the first thing he did was to treat Zhu Qiang's injuries.
"A transcendent-grade Tier 2 medicinal pill is actually this horrifying. It actually allowed a First Level Spirit Condensation Realm to injure a Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm!" Sun Jianming muttered under his breath.
This was his first time witnessing the might of a transcendent-grade Tier 2 medicinal pill. That scene just now was too astonishing.
This was not some small-scale fight like back then with Ye Yuan and Fei Qingping. Cheng Hua and Zhu Qiang were both Spirit Condensation Realm experts. Wanting to jump ranks to battle was too hard.
"That's right. That's to say if a First Level Spirit Condensation Realm possessed such a transcendent-grade Tier 2 Strengthening Pill, they would be able to jump ranks to defeat a Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm expert under specific conditions. As for Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, there's virtually no chance of survival under that blow just now," Sun Jianming stated his analysis.
After he finished speaking, Sun Jianming also jumped in fright at his analysis.
Wang Jinfu sucked in a cold breath. "If this sort of medicinal pills could be mass-produced, then wouldn't cultivation realms become a joke?"
It was true that even with this medicinal pill, it would be very challenging for a First Level Spirit Condensation Realm to defeat a Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm.
The effects of the Strengthening Pill was only partial strengthening and would not increase the martial artist's overall strength.
Theoretically, it could let him kill a Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm. However, the required conditions were too harsh. It was virtually impossible in actual combat.
But even so, the significance of a transcendent-grade Tier 2 medicinal pill was too great.
That was because once someone consumed such a medicinal pill, it would be possible for a First Level Spirit Condensation Realm to jump ranks and challenge a Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm, or even a Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm. Furthermore, it would become a common sight.
If that happened, cultivation would indeed become a joke. A person trained bitterly to advance one minor cultivation realm, and it was inferior to other people that ate a single medicinal pill.
"Don't joke around. How can this sort of medicinal pills be mass-produced? Our State of Qin has been established for so many years and hasn't only this one transcendent-grade Tier 2 medicinal pill appeared so far?" Sun Jianmin
g shook his head and said.
Wang Jinfu thought the same as well. Ye Yuan was indeed monstrous, but it was most likely impossible to make him mass-produce transcendent-grade Tier 2 medicinal pills.
However, at this moment Feng Ruoqing voiced out, "Both elders, don't forget, Ye Yuan is only at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm right now!"
Wang Jinfu and Sun Jianming trembled.
That was right. Ye Yuan was only at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm. If he rose a few more minor cultivation realms, maybe even after crossing the threshold called Spirit Condensation Realm, would refining transcendent-grade Tier 2 medicinal pills still be hard?
Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique at the Legendary Realm lowered the soul strength requirement to the minimum.
Even if Ye Yuan's soul strength after advancing to the Spirit Condensation Realm was insufficient to advance to Alchemy Master, would refining transcendent-grade Tier 2 medicinal pills not be like playing for him?
Wang Jinfu suddenly realized that Ye Yuan held extraordinary significance to the entire State of Qin. That was because in the entire State of Qin's alchemy world, only he alone could refine transcendent-grade Tier 2 medicinal pills!
Wang Jinfu's face suddenly turned icy. The aura of a Spirit Condensation Realm spread out, making everyone present feel tremendous pressure.
"All of you here listen up. Nobody is allowed to go out and spread about the matter of Ye Yuan refining a transcendent-grade Tier 2 medicinal pill today! Everyone swears a Heavenly Dao Oath right now. Chairman Sun and I will supervise you all! Of course, you can choose not to swear, but I can't guarantee that you'll be able to walk out of the Alchemist Association!" Wang Jinfu warned grimly.
"What? Heavenly Dao Oath? You want us to swear a Heavenly Dao Oath?! Based on what?!" Wang Jinfu's words immediately drew some people's ire.
Heavenly Dao Oath was different from ordinary oaths. Once a Heavenly Dao Oath was sworn, one could not violate it for life. Otherwise, the heavens would smite them dead.
Regardless of whether in the Divine Realm or in the Lower Realms, nobody could go against a Heavenly Dao Oath!
Wan Yuan was also present. Currently, he was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.
