Chapter 688 - 485: Alchemy Talent, Improved Treatment for the Wang Family

Master Zhang demonstrated in front of everyone, placing the herbs one by one into the medicine cauldron.

Then, Earth Fire rose from his palm and was placed under the medicine cauldron. The steps dazzled the eye, not many, but truly operating them is far from simple.

"Do you understand?"

Master Zhang looked at Zheng Yi.

Zheng Yi pondered, nodding, then shaking his head.

Today, he’d attracted enough attention.

Even a genius in alchemy needs to progress step by step.

The Wang Family may not pay attention to such a minor person, but young people of their level in the Wang Family, and others who also aspire to become Alchemy Apprentices.

Might not refrain from resorting to underhanded tactics.

As an Immortal Seed within the Wang Family, he had few methods, and besides, these things wouldn’t drain his energy; it’s something easily resolved with a bit of thought.

Why not?

...

The day Zheng Yi’s alchemy in the Skill Transmission Hall spread.

Again echoed by sounds.

Wang Lei, preparing to leave, came to the Skill Transmission Hall and heard the steward mentioning the matter.

He furrowed his thick brows, thought for a moment, and said, "This child has exemplary intent in our Wang Family, even if not becoming an Alchemy Apprentice, we cannot turn a blind eye. Otherwise, won’t it have a bad influence in the future? Besides, there’s already one woman who’s fortunate for our Wang Family, and one with a Spirit Root. Prove yourself to others."

Wang Lei spoke slowly.

He is a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator.

In the family, he counts as a pillar, with significant power and control.

The steward quickly agreed.

Following Elder Wang’s departure, the steward held back a few people and warned them one by one.

Thus, Zheng Yi’s days became especially smooth.

"Husband needs to perform alchemy tests?"

"Does husband have this confidence?"

In the courtyard.

Zheng Yi sat with three wives around him.

They ate their meal, the table had red dates, taro, and papaya.

Wang Xue, as always, brimmed with confidence: "Husband can definitely do it!."

She puffed out her cheeks, looking like a hamster storing food before winter solstice, storing food in her little belly.

"Even if it doesn’t happen, there’s always another chance, husband shouldn’t stress himself too much."

With the having a child.

Wang Yumo’s focus shifted more to her child.

If the child didn’t have Spirit Roots, it might not be like this.

But having Spirit Roots.

The man may run, but the child wouldn’t, being her true hope for the rest of her life.

Weight, women have this knowledge in their hearts.

"Just a try."

Zheng Yi smiled calmly.

Though immensely confident, he didn’t need to speak too boldly.

Seeing Zheng Yi, the master pillar, safe and sound, other women also relaxed, including everyone in the courtyard, who felt more settled.

But still couldn’t avoid a touch of anticipation.

What if the master succeeded?

...

Skill Transmission Hall, Alchemy Pavilion.

A compartment outside the pavilion.

Zheng Yi followed Steward Wang here.

Steward Wang said slowly, "Fellow Daoist Zheng Yi, in alchemy, don’t become impatient, thus enabling tranquility, ensuring to grasp opportunities, executing alchemy steadily."

Steward Wang’s words were redundant.

But at this moment, inexplicable concern imparted tranquility, a gesture of goodwill.

"Thank you, Steward Wang."

Zheng Yi cupped his hands.

Steward Wang showed a slight smile, "No wonder this child is valued by Elder Wang; well-versed in human relations and intricacies."

Then, Steward Wang watched Zheng Yi enter the compartment.

Within it, only Zheng Yi is present.

Along with a medicine furnace prepared for refining Spirit-attracting Pill, with measured herbs already placed.

Next, it all depended on Zheng Yi.

...

"Fortunately, there’s no Memory Stone this time, otherwise, that would be troublesome."

Zheng Yi glanced around the compartment.

Lower quality Spiritual Qi.

Beneath Piaomiao Mountain’s Wang Family should contain a third-grade Spirit Vein, the lowest from Foundation Establishment Clans, achieving such scale is not easy.

Zheng Yi, not originating from a minor family, yet upon arriving at the Sea of the Stars, gained substantial understanding about each family’s specific circumstances; naturally, he understood.

Zheng Yi smiled faintly, Earth Fire ascended from his right hand, Earth Fire Technique changing in his palm like a dragon or phoenix reaching a masterful realm, even among those previously trained with him.

Few could compete with him in this aspect.

"Spirit-attracting Pill?"

Zheng Yi smiled faintly, flicked his right hand, a Spiritual Power shot out, that ancient green bronze cauldron leaped high, drawn by Zheng Yi’s Divine Sense, placed steadily under the pill cauldron.

Zheng Yi multitasked.

On one hand, observing the compartment’s layout meticulously, recalling its setup entirely, considering later within his cultivation abode.

Though only a small replica could be made; better than nothing; while also focusing on alchemy.

Placed herbs following steps, then they melted, Earth Fire’s temperature sharply increased, concentrating into liquid to pill formation, the most challenging step, yet under Zheng Yi’s intervention through Golden Core Realm Divine Sense, it proceeded smoothly.

Divine Sense penetrated the pill cauldron, any subtle change couldn’t escape Zheng Yi’s observation.

Most moments passed, outside the compartment initially only Steward Wang present, Elder Wang already left, yet that sole Alchemist Master Zhang arrived here.

"How’s the situation?"

He asked aloud.
