Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting from Attribute Points Allocation

Chapter 159 - 123, Pill Pattern, Second Grade Alchemist_3



“However, with Elder Deng He and 1 vouching for you, you can directly take the Second Grade Alchemist exam, and we can provide you with a pill recipe and spirit herbs,”

Di Qing looked at Lu Yun, whose expression was constantly changing, and found it quite amusing. His old face unconsciously revealed a kind smile. “Thank you, Elder Di!”

“Thank you, Elder Deng!”

This time, Lu Yun solemnly expressed his gratitude to the two elders.

Originally, he had given up altogether, but unexpectedly a new opportunity had arisen. Not only could he directly take the exam, he could also get a Second Grade pill recipe and alchemical materials for free.

“Kid, you must perform well and not have us old men messing around with you for nothing. Otherwise, if word gets out, we two old men will lose face,” Deng He smiled at Lu Yun.

“I will do my best… By the way, after becoming a member of the Alchemist Guild, can I exchange for corresponding pill recipes?” Lu Yun asked the question he was most concerned about.

“Yes, indeed. This is one of the privileges enjoyed by the members of the Alchemist Guild. The Alchemist Guild needs to mass produce sufficient pills for Morigin’s army and the Martial Academy, among other places. As a member of the Alchemist Guild, while enjoying privileges, you must also undertake corresponding obligations and complete a certain amount of pill production each month. Of course, you are not working for the Guild for free. If you produce the required number of pills, you can gain Contribution Points, which can be exchanged in the Guild for pill recipes, spirit herbs, or even used to publish tasks to find the materials and treasures you need.”

Deng He looked at Lu Yun and smiled: “Of course, the premise is that you can provide the corresponding treasures or items needed for trading.”

“It sounds like a great deal…” A smile gradually appeared on Lu Yun’s face. The thought of getting the fire seeds he needed in the future through posting tasks certainly would save him a lot of time.

“Your paperwork for the Second Grade Alchemist exam is complete, Lu, come with me!”

Di Qing waved at Lu Yun from a distance.

“Hurry up!” Deng He turned his head and smiled at Lu Yun.

“Alright.” Lu Yun nodded and quickly walked towards Di Qing.

Di Ruoling, who was standing aside, wanted to follow them, but Deng He stopped her, saying, “The Second Grade Alchemist exam is different from the First Grade exam. Apart from the necessary personnel, others are not allowed in so as not to disturb. Just wait here.”

“Grandpa Deng, 1’11 just take a look from afar, 1 promise 1 won’t disturb Lu Yun,” Di Ruoling pleaded, tugging at Deng He’s sleeve.

“This is the rule of the Alchemist Guild, even 1 can’t break it. Just wait patiently!” Deng He shook his head with a smile.

Di Ruoling’s cute face flushed with frustration, she snorted discontentedly, “Hmph, favoritism! Didn’t Grandpa and you just break the rules for Lu Yun? Why is it that you can’t break them now?”

At her words, Deng He’s face turned red and he simply chose to remain silent.

“Hmph, it’s no big deal if I don’t watch. It won’t be long before 1 take the Second Grade Alchemist exam.”

Then she walked over to the drowsy Deng Yunhui, resentment welled up inside her. She swung out her slender leg to kick Deng Yunhui.

But at the crucial moment, Deng Yunhui managed to dodge with a slight move.

“You little girl, you’re totally unreasonable. It wasn’t me who stopped you, so why take it out on me?”

Deng Yunhui squinted his eyes, glanced at the huffing Di Ruoling, and said indifferently.

“Just because I don’t like the look of you, what’s the problem?” Di Ruoling curled her lips, jumped onto a chair, twisted her head to one side, and ignored Deng Yunhui.

Half an hour later, Di Qing emerged from the gate.

“Old fellow, did the kid Lu Yun succeed or not?”

Deng He couldn’t help but immediately asked.

On the other side, Di Ruoling and Deng Yunhui perked up, almost simultaneously pricking their ears and looking at the gate.

Di Qing just shook his head slightly and didn’t say a word for a long time.

This scene immediately made Deng He frown.

“Did he fail?” He murmured to himself, then immediately relaxed his furrowed brows, saying quietly, “It’s normal to fail. After all, it would be rather unfair to others if his alchemy talent would be as terrifying as his martial arts talent.”

Soon, Lu Yun appeared in the hall.

However, he noticed that the way everyone was looking at him seemed a bit strange.

“Lu Yun, a moment’s failure doesn’t mean anything. Don’t be discouraged. This is just like accumulating experience for the next assessment with me.” Di Ruoling gently patted Lu Yun’s shoulder, her tone was soft, trying her best to comfort Lu Yun.

“Nani? Failure?” Lu Yun was stunned, and from the serious and solemn look on Di Ruoling’s face, it seemed that there was indeed such a thing.

At this moment, Di Qing, who had been silent for a while on the side, finally spoke up.

“Ah, this youngster’s talent in pill refining is truly stunning, not inferior to his martial arts talent. All…”

With a sigh, he slowly took out a jade bottle from his sleeve, tilted it slightly, and a round translucent pill fell out.

The pill was a Meridian Pill, pale yellow in color, faintly revealing a crystal luster on its surface. What was most eye-catching was the faint ripple-like pattern on its surface, like a spreading ripple.

“A pill pattern?”

Seeing the ripple-like pattern on the Meridian Pill, Deng He exclaimed in surprise, immediately rushed over with excitement, and snatched it from Di Qing to examine it carefully.

No matter what grade of pill, there is a distinction between regular and top-quality.

Almost all Alchemists can only refine regular pills.

The pills circulating in the market are also regular pills, and top-quality pills rarely appear.

Only those Alchemists who control the fire to perfection, have a high level of pill refining skill, and excellent pill refining techniques can bring out the potency of the spirit herbs to the extreme. The color and luster of the pills refined by them would reach the peak, resulting in the appearance of a pill pattern – the creation of top-quality pills.

And now, someone was telling him that this top-quality Meridian Pill with a pill pattern was actually refined by a mere thirteen-year-old boy.

The key point is, the boy had never refined a Second Grade pill before nor had he been exposed to any pill recipes.

How is this possible?

“Old man, don’t try to deceive me, or we’ll have a problem!”

Deng He slowly regained his composure after his initial shock and sternly addressed Di Qing.

Di Qing rolled his eyes and snorted, “Why would 1 fool you? All the records are inside. If you don’t believe it, go and check for yourself.”

“Fine, 1’11 go and check. If 1 find out you’re deceiving me, 1’11 teach you a lesson!”

After a fierce threat, Deng He hastily disappeared from the hall.

On the side, Di Ruoling’s hand was still on Lu Yun’s shoulder as if she had forgotten about it. Her beautiful eyes were blinking continuously.

“Who am I? Where am 1? What am I doing?” She had three questions in her mind.

“Only, are you okay?” Lu Yun gently pulled at her sleeve, which finally made her react.

“You passed the Second Grade Alchemist assessment?”

“Yes.”

“There’s a pill pattern on the pill you refined?”

“A pill pattern? It seems so.”

Di Ruoling stared seriously at Lu Yun, then angrily said: “Why didn’t you say so just now? Do you think it’s fun to make me a joke?”

Lu Yun shrugged, looking helpless: “I just came out and you confused me. I didn’t know what to say!”

“Ah… you’re driving me mad!” Stamping her feet, Di Ruoling was enraged.

Lu Yun blinked in bewilderment while watching from the side.

Deng Yunhui also watched on, equally bewildered.

After a while, Deng He appeared in the hall, his face flushed and bursting into laughter.

“Haha, a Second Grade Alchemist at the age of thirteen and not just any Alchemist, but one who can refine top-quality pills. Starting from today, the former disgrace of the Spirit Martial Prefecture is gone once and for all..”
