Chapter 966 - The Ji Family! (1)

Although Grandmaster Hua Yuan told him he needed to wait, the staff soon gathered the ingredients.

Grandmaster Hua Yuan took over the space ring and said to Wang Teng, “We don’t have the prescription for the Nine Essence Soul Congealing Pill, so only a few people know how to refine it. We don’t have many ingredients. The alliance can only find two sets. I’ll ask people to search for the last set outside.”

“It’s alright, two sets are enough.” Wang Teng waved his hand and said, “If I can’t make it using the first two sets, the third set would most likely be wasted too.”

Grandmaster Hua Yuan was a little hesitant. He wished that Wang Teng could pass the alchemy assessment, so he wanted to get three sets of ingredients for him. That way, his success rate would be higher.

However, since Wang Teng didn’t mind it, he remained quiet. He just asked the staff to prepare the third set of ingredients silently.

“Okay, these are the two sets of ingredients. You can use them to make the Nine Essence Soul Congealing Pill first,” Grandmaster Hua Yuan passed Wang Teng the space ring.

Wang Teng nodded. Taking the space ring, he walked to the middle of the room. Black Meteorite floated up and followed him automatically.

There was a fire vent in the middle of the room, connected to the fire below. Black Meteorite landed on the vent.

Wang Teng took out the ingredients and placed them before him. He closed his eyes, going over the process of refining the dan in his mind.

The grandmasters sat down a few meters away from him. This distance was just right. They wouldn’t disturb him, but they could still observe him.

They didn’t panic when they noticed that Wang Teng didn’t start immediately. Instead, he seemed to be resting. They waited quietly too.

After some time, Wang Teng opened his eyes abruptly, and a smart glint flashed past them. He wrapped multiple ingredients, spiritual herbs and spiritual flowers, with his spiritual power and tossed them into the furnace.

Swoosh!

At the same time, an emerald flame burned on his hand. He threw it to the bottom of Black Meteorite.

Wang Teng didn’t use the fire provided by the alliance, preferring the Emerald Glazed Flame instead.

Divine flames were the best support for alchemists. They were much better compared to the normal fire. Also, Wang Teng was the owner of the Emerald Glazed Flame, so he could use it smoothly. He had a better grasp of it compared to the normal fire.

The four grandmasters stood up from their seats again when they saw the Emerald Glazed Flame. They stared at the flame intently.

Divine flame!

They forcefully suppressed the astonishment in their hearts, lest they disturbed Wang Teng. However, they were dumbstruck.

“That’s definitely a divine flame!”

“Grandmaster Wang Teng possesses a divine flame! He’s so lucky!”

“He has an exceptional grandmaster-level furnace and a divine flame. Grandmaster Wang Teng has many good things. I’m so jealous!”

…

The four grandmasters started chatting through voice transmissions. Their eyes turned red.

Both the furnace and the divine flame were items highly desired by grandmaster alchemists. However, they were rare and could only be found by luck. Yet, Wang Teng had both of them. How could they not be envious?

They might be grandmasters, but they almost lost their senses.

Wang Teng didn’t know what they were thinking. He was focused on refining the ingredients.

The emerald flame seeped through the gaps of the furnace and wrapped around the ingredients.

There was a black spiritual flower. No ashes were left after it got burned by the emerald flame. Only a ball of grayish-black liquid floated in the furnace.

Wang Teng was multitasking. All the ingredients he threw into the furnace got refined. They either turned into liquid or powder…

This required precise control of the fire. A single careless mistake and the entire spiritual herb or flower might get burned, leaving no essence behind.

The four grandmasters felt cold sweat dripping down their foreheads when they saw Wang Teng refining 18 ingredients at once.

This operation was a little… suffocating!

They couldn’t do it.

The scary thing was, Wang Teng didn’t make any mistakes. All the 18 ingredients were refined successfully, and then, he threw another 18 ingredients in.

The four grandmasters held their breaths. They were staring at him intently. At this rate, he would be able to refine all the ingredients and make the dan in less than three hours.

…

While Wang Teng was making the Nine Essence Soul Congealing Pill, at the location where he received the prescription, a dusty elder with red hair walked out of a grandmaster-class furnace room.

Black smoke blew out behind him, accompanied by a burnt smell.

The furnace room had an automatic air circulation function. Once an alchemist failed and released some odor, the system would automatically release the odor out of the room.

But this time, the red-haired elder had failed miserably. The entire furnace room was filled with black smoke, which couldn’t be cleared instantly. Hence, he had to run out.

“Cough…”

The red-haired elder coughed violently. He almost choked to death in the thick fumes.

This elder was a grandmaster alchemist of the Secondary Career Alliance. He was helping someone to make a grandmaster-level dan today, so he didn’t participate in Wang Teng’s alchemy assessment.

A few people were waiting agitatedly outside his room. There were males and females. When they saw the red-haired elder coming out, they crowded around him and asked anxiously, “Grandmaster Kirton, what happened?”

“Cough… the furnace exploded!” Grandmaster Kirton waved his hand. His expression was a little ugly.

“Exploded? How did that happen?”

“Grandmaster Kirton, isn’t your success rate of making the Nine Essence Soul Congealing Pill 60%? Why would your furnace explode?”
