Chapter 1305 Damaged Pill 1305 Damaged Pill 'Could this be the Tier 7 named alchemy flame 'Golden Lion's Pride'? No, the color is slightly different, and there's no way a beginner would be using a Tier 7 alchemy flame.' The middle- aged woman was perplexed by Yuan's alchemy flame. The reason she and everyone there mistook Yuan's nameless alchemy flame for a named alchemy flame was because of its vibrant and unique color. All nameless alchemy flames had the same color with slight variation depending on its type. Nameless Spirit-type alchemy flames have an orange-red color. Nameless Tranquil-type alchemy flames have a light seafoam color. As for nameless Neutral-type alchemy flames, they were simply greyish in color. Any color distinct from the three common colors likely indicated a named alchemy flame, and Yuan's golden flames did not align with the characteristics of the nameless varieties. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮 While everyone in the room was fixated on his alchemy flame, Yuan was focused on his pill concoction. Once his cauldron was hot enough, he tossed all of the ingredients into it and closed the lid. Utilizing his divine sense, Yuan could perceive every minute detail transpiring within the cauldron, even with its lid closed. As his alchemy flame blazed fervently, the ingredients within the cauldron swiftly melted, almost too quickly. 'It hasn't even been ten minutes and he's already melted all of the ingredients? If he melts the ingredients too quickly, their quality will degrade, and the pill will come out damaged!' The middle-aged woman shook her head inwardly at Yuan's beginner's mistake. Although it was possible to speed up the melting process, it would require immense talent and experience to ensure that none of the ingredients were damaged in the process. However, anyone could tell that Yuan was a complete newbie at alchemy, as he was simply just blazing through the melting process with raw power. Having melted the ingredients, Yuan promptly proceeded to the subsequent step—crafting its distinctive round shape while simultaneously solidifying the substance by lowering the temperature of his flames without weakening the flames. 'What?!' The middle-aged woman's eyes widened with shock when she witnessed Yuan's seemingly perfect control over the temperature of his flames. 'He's clearly a novice, yet his mastery over the flames is exceptional! Lowering the flame temperature almost instantly— something I struggle with, and he's accomplishing it effortlessly, as if it's second nature!' 'Not only did he lower its temperature rapidly, but he had done so while keeping the flame's shape and intensity the same! Even if given a thousand years to practice, most people would not achieve anywhere near such perfect control! Just who is this guy?!' A few more minutes later, Yuan deactivated his flames and removed the cauldron's lid, releasing a dark cloud of smoke. When he retrieved the pill from the cauldron and saw its condition, Yuan raised his eyebrows in a puzzled manner. The pill looked nothing like how he'd expected. It was smaller than it should, and there were cracks all over it. [Damaged Spirit Recovery Pill] [Tier 1] [Purity: 97%] [Effects: Restores spiritual energy. The effectiveness will significantly decrease for Cultivators above Spirit Master. 90% reduced effect.] [Description: A Spiritual Pill concocted by Player Yuan.] Even though it came out damaged, the purity was surprisingly high. "Let me see your pill." The middle-aged woman suddenly said. Yuan nodded and gave her the damaged pill. 'It's damaged, but the purity is ridiculously high… How did he even manage to make such a thing?' The middle-aged woman was greatly surprised by the outcome of the pill, mostly because of its high purity. One contributing factor to the usual lengthy process of melting ingredients lies in the dual task of not only liquefying them but also purifying the inherent impurities within, so it didn't make any sense for Yuan's damaged pill to have such a high purity when he melted the ingredients in such a short time. 'This isn't something that can be achieved with talent alone. The high purity must be an effect of his named alchemy flame. If he can concoct a damaged pill with such high purity, one can only imagine the results of a properly concocted pill.' She turned to look at Yuan and spoke, "Do you know why it came out damaged? Hastening through the melting process without sufficient experience inflicts harm upon the ingredients, culminating in a damaged pill." "I guess I did rush through it a little. Can I try again?" Yuan acknowledged that he was indeed a little impatient. "Go ahead. There are plenty of ingredients left." The middle- aged woman gestured. As Yuan stood up and went to grab more ingredients, the middle-aged woman retrieved a communication jade slip and activated it. "Senior, I think you should come to the 35th floor. There's a really interesting fellow here." She received a response a moment later, "If this turns out to be a waste of time, you'll compensate with 1,000 Tier 4 pills." "Of course." When Yuan returned to his cauldron, the middle-aged woman stopped him and said, "Wait a minute. Someone will be coming to watch you." Yuan raised an eyebrow, but he decided to not question it. Sometime later, an old woman entered the room. When the people inside noticed her presence, they were all greatly shocked. "It's Pill Grandmaster Zhao! The only Pill Grandmaster in the Third Heaven! What is someone like her doing here?!" The people there were greatly baffled by her appearance. They wanted to greet her, but nobody there dared to approach her, as her status was simply too high for them. Pill Grandmaster Zhao directly approached the middle-aged woman who summoned her. "Ma Qingyun, I hope you're prepared to spend the rest of the year concocting pills for me," she said with a cold smile. The middle-aged woman, Ma Qingyun, smiled and said, "You haven't even seen anything yet, Master." She then gestured at Yuan and continued, "He's the one." Pill Grandmaster Zhao turned to look at Yuan and his cauldron for a brief moment before sighing out loud, "What a waste of time…"
