After kicking Lang Tong out, Jiang Ming stretched his body a bit more before looking at Alchemist Ren.
"Little Ren, pay close attention because I\'m not going to explain anything to see if you have potential to achieve higher than a mere 4th tier." Jiang Ming said before opening the lid in the cauldron.
Alchemist Ren was still repeating his word inwardly and he realized that Jiang Ming called a 4th tier alchemist with a disregarding tone.
\'I shall use my eyes and see if this brat is truly the real deal or just a brat with a screw loose in his brain.\' Alchemist Ren exclaimed inwardly as he was ready to cripple him if he was lying.
Meanwhile, Jiang Ming started to use his cultivation slightly and created a fiery flame before placing it in the bottom of the cauldron.
The flame was being controlled by Jiang Ming with perfect precision as the color soon became blue-looking from the initial red color.
\'T-That\'s flame. It\'s recorded in history that when you\'ve reached perfect control in your flame, they would change in color.\' Alchemist Ren was shocked by the flame that Jiang Ming produced.
He couldn\'t even make his flame alter a bit despite studying alchemy for 70 years. However, his shock has only just begun as Jiang Ming places the first herb down into the cauldron.
The herb was practically dancing in it as the impurities were being extracted at an extremely fast pace.
A few seconds later, there was only the concentration of the purity in the herb remaining.
The swift action and such calm demeanor in Jiang Ming were akin to an alchemy god.
While Alchemist Ren continued to have his jaw dropped, Bing Tong was confused.
They weren\'t alchemists so they couldn\'t notice the impressive achievement that Jiang Ming just performed.
\'Isn\'t it just extracting the impurities? Why is Alchemist Ren acting so surprised?\' Bing Tong questioned inwardly as she didn\'t dare to make any noise.
Alchemist Ren was focusing on Jiang Ming\'s every move without blinking and if he were to be distracted by some dumb question then he would thrash them very hard.
Meanwhile, Hong Ling was debating the options that Jiang Ming offered to her when she saw his alchemist skill.
Being a servant in the alchemy guild, Hong Ling has been exposed to many alchemists when they concoct their pills so she has some experience.
She knew that extracting the impurities of the herb is extremely difficult because they have to be precise or they would burn the herb accidentally.
The herbs need to meet with a certain temperature to have their impurities disappear and it takes a lot of experience to find the correct temperature.
It wasn\'t something that could be done with a fluke and they need to spend a lot of time and failure to be able to grasp the control.
\'Jiang Ming... Just who is he?\' Hong Ling asked inwardly as she looked at Jiang Ming\'s back.
Her heart started to beat crazy when she realized she had a chance to become a cultivator and stopped having to serve some disgusting young master who always tried to violate her.
Thankfully she was from the alchemist guild so, besides a few touches in her waist and shoulder, they didn\'t go overboard. But it was simply a matter of time before she is forced to use her body to survive in this world.
Clenching her fist tightly, Hong Ling made her decision as she continued to admire the work of art from Jiang Ming.
Time passed quickly and Jiang Ming was already in the process to merge them together into a pill.
\'Mhmm, the time is now.\' Jiang Ming said inwardly as he increased the intensity of his flame and a beam of light shot out from the cauldron as the process begins.
\'S-Success, h-he actually managed to concoct the Soul Rejuvenating Pill first try, and based on this beam of light, the purity is at least 90%.\' Alchemist Ren exclaimed inwardly as he looked at Jiang Ming filled with respect.
This time, it was genuine and not like previously where he was just acting to see if he was legitimate.
A few moments later, a dazzling pill can be seen popping out from the cauldron.
"Tch, what a failure pill I made." Jiang Ming cursed as he held the pill in his hand.
When Jiang Ming said he created a failure pill, Alchemist Ren was about to vomit blood in depression.
He saw the pill and was able to determine it was 97% purity and was already mesmerized by this miracle.
However, Jiang Ming\'s tone was extremely displeased as he was not satisfied with the result.
\'A work of art like this is deemed unqualified in his eye?\' Alchemist Ren cried inwardly as he questioned his life spent in alchemy.
If this kind of quality is considered a failure then wouldn\'t he be shamed to the point that he needs to dig a hole for himself?
"S-Senior Jiang, w-what do you mean by the pill being a failure?" Alchemist Ren asked nervously and wanted to confirm if he missed something.
The pill recipe was something he managed to obtain from a gambling bet he did with the other alchemist a few days ago.
Thus, he doesn\'t know much about the pill until now when he wanted to show off his skill a bit to gain some more influence and authority.
Jiang Ming sighed when he heard Alchemist Ren questioning.
"Can\'t you see I have failed?" Jiang Ming said in a sullen tone.
Alchemist Ren raised his eyebrow slightly and Bing Tong was curious as she leaned forward to try to figure out what\'s wrong with this dazzling pill.
"T-The pill is a success and with this purity, I can guarantee that many will flock to Senior Jiang to request for your pill." Alchemist Ren took a while before replying to him.
Jiang Ming could only shake his head at the answer Alchemist Ren gave. "Little Ren, I wanted to create a flawless pill but because of my low cultivation base. I have created this trash 97% purity. Sigh, what a failure and shameful display."
