2106 Is This Young Friend Really… An Alchemist? (3)

The approaching dark clouds were ferocious and dense, or rather, viscous, resembling a mass of ink that sprawled menacingly across the sky.

This scene left onlookers astonished, prompting them to lift their gazes in unison.

Even many alchemists who were taking a break were stirred. They stepped out onto the balconies outside their respective alchemy chambers, gazing up at the sky.

“What a dense calamity cloud!”

“Which grandmaster is concocting pills?”

“This pill must be at the ninth-level grandmaster level, right? No, it must be a supreme-rank pill. A ninth-level pill wouldn’t be able to gather such a terrifying calamity cloud.”

“Supreme-rank pill! Which grandmaster-level peak alchemist is concocting it?”

“I think that ever since Grandmaster Wang Teng made a supreme-rank pill half a year ago, no other grandmasters have made a supreme-rank pill, right?”

“It’s not easy to make a supreme-rank pill. It might only appear once every few years.”

…

The murmurs of discussion continued to echo. This commotion attracted an increasing number of onlookers.

Alchemists were an inherently gossip-prone group, especially when it came to news related to alchemy. Such matters would undoubtedly capture their intense attention.

Over at the administrative hall, many individuals also ascended into the sky, gazing towards the location of the calamity clouds.

Lin Qian had been closely monitoring the alchemical progress on Wang Teng’s side. Aware of Wang Teng’s alchemical efficiency, she immediately guessed that he must have successfully concocted pills.

What’s more, it must be a supreme-grade pill!

“Eh, is that Grandmaster Wang Teng?” Yang Meng discreetly approached Lin Qian and inquired through voice transmission.

“Yes.” Lin Qian nodded.

“This person… seems quite formidable,” Yang Meng’s eyes revealed a hint of astonishment.

Lin Qian smiled faintly, conveying her thoughts through a voice transmission, “I’ve never seen such a formidable alchemist like him. Is this perhaps innate talent?”

Inside the alchemy chamber leased by Wang Teng, Tong En and others were also alerted. They all looked towards the sky, and then quickly shifted their gaze to the entrance of the alchemy room.

“Is this commotion caused by Wang Teng’s alchemy?” Tong En widened his eyes, expressing a sense of incredulity.

“It seems so!” Yuan Bai said as he swallowed his saliva.

“Why does it feel like the disturbance caused by his alchemy is much greater than others?” Wei Na looked at the sky and said, “That sensation, even I feel oppressed, especially within the enveloping range of the calamity clouds. I feel as if I can get attacked at any moment.”

“The fright caused by the concoction of these pills surpasses the excitement, huh,” Tong En chuckled bitterly.

She had initially been highly anticipating the pill concocted by Wang Teng, but now, at this moment, she was somewhat alarmed.

Boom!

A deep thunderous roar echoed from within the calamity clouds, and silvery-white lightning streaked through the pitch-black calamity clouds like gigantic pythons.

Inside the alchemy chamber, Wang Teng’s eyes lit up with increasing joy as he focused his gaze on the nine furnaces.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

…

The next moment, a series of thunderous roars resounded, and nine immensely robust pillars of light simultaneously soared into the sky, each carrying impeccably round pills slowly rising within.

The people outside were dumbfounded.

What was going on?

Nine pillars of light!!!

Many even questioned their own eyes, wondering if they were seeing things or experiencing an illusion. How could there be nine pillars of light?

Was it some kind of hallucinogenic pill?

This was not entirely impossible, as some pills had hallucinogenic effects, manifesting various bizarre illusions right after being concocted.

Perhaps this batch of pills was one of them.

Otherwise, who in the world would produce nine pillars of light from a single batch of pills?

This defied all principles of alchemy!

Inside the alchemy chamber’s resting room, Tong En rubbed her eyes, took several more glances, and only then confirmed that there were indeed nine pillars of light. She had almost thought she was mistaken.

Nine pillars of light. What in the world was this person concocting?

Wei Na and the others exchanged glances with one another. They were confused.

At this moment, more chemists were alarmed and came out. Even some alchemists who were in the midst of concocting pills had their efforts ruined by this tremendous commotion. They emerged from their alchemy chambers with disheveled looks, cursing and grumbling.

Normally, alchemy chambers were sufficient to block out any external disturbances. However, the commotion caused by Wang Teng was so significant that many couldn’t simply turn a blind eye.

The inevitable outcome was that curiosity led to explosions.

Curiosity killed the cat!

The chemists could only swallow their grievances. They had bitter feelings but no way to express them.

However, as they stepped out of the alchemy chambers and witnessed the scene, their resentment turned into sheer astonishment.

Watching through a video feed within the alchemy room and directly witnessing it from the outside were two entirely different experiences. The impact of the calamity clouds was overwhelming and intense, leaving them in a state of profound shock.

Boom!

Within the calamity clouds, the lightning reached its pinnacle. Suddenly, nine thunderbolts simultaneously descended, crashing toward the pillars of light.

Nine thunderbolts, celestial wrath like a prison!

In an instant, the entire world was illuminated, and an eerie silence enveloped everything. All things came to a standstill as if only those nine bolts of lightning existed.

Each of the nine bolts of lightning corresponded to one of the pillars of light, striking down independently. The inexhaustible power of lightning erupted, sweeping through.

Overhead, the space above Wang Teng’s alchemy room was instantly filled with lightning, resembling a forbidden zone of lightning that repelled any attempts at approach.

Boom!

The second wave of thunder descended, even more frightening this time. There were now 18 thunderbolts in total, with each pillar of light facing a dual onslaught of thunder.

The power of lightning in the surroundings grew increasingly fearsome, pervading the sky. Lightning foxes darted around incessantly, sealing off the area around the alchemy chamber.

“This is no illusion!”

At this moment, someone finally realized and exclaimed.

Others also snapped out of their daze, gazing at the scene with shock. Their worldviews were completely overturned.
