79: Fake Rank 6 Alchemist

Jiang Yunfan flatly refused, "The yin yang pill holds no appeal for me; bring out other treasures."

These words startled everyone.

"That's a yin yang pill! He actually said it holds no appeal for him. He's at the Spirit Transformation Realm; with a yin yang pill, it could help him Breakthrough to the Yin-Yang Realm."

"He claims to be a Sixth Grade Grandmaster Alchemist, but I think he's just an impostor, deliberately making excuses because he doesn't dare to compete with Master Zhu."

Zhu Chong put away the yin yang pill and took out his ultimate treasure, the five-colored earth.

A grain of five-colored earth, the size of a mung bean, appeared in his hand, displaying a vibrant array of colors.

"It's the five-colored earth! Master Zhu actually brought out such a top-tier Spirit Earth."

"Spirit Earth is a supreme treasure for an Alchemist."

"That person is just an impostor, boasting that he's a Sixth Grade Alchemist. Master Zhu is a genuine Fifth-Grade Alchemist; there's no way he can lose. Master Zhu will surely thoroughly humiliate him."

Zhu Chong looked at Jiang Yunfan and said coldly, "I've brought out the five-colored earth. What treasure can you bring out?"

Jiang Yunfan took out a seed.

Shangguan Fei mocked, "You're not seriously thinking of using this seed as the stake, are you!"

Jiang Yunfan said, "This seed of mine is a holy medicine seed."

"A holy medicine seed? You say it is, and it is?"

"Exactly. How precious is a holy medicine seed? He just casually takes out a seed and claims it's a holy medicine seed. Who is he trying to fool?"

The others also started to jeer.

No one believed that the seed in Jiang Yunfan's hand was a holy medicine seed.

Jiang Yunfan ignored these people. He looked at Zhu Chong, a faint smile playing on his lips, "Master Zhu, you are a Fifth-Grade Alchemist. Surely you wouldn't fail to recognize a holy medicine seed, would you!"

Zhu Chong knew this seed was a Spirit Medicine seed, but he couldn't distinguish if it was a holy medicine seed. If he said it wasn't, he believed everyone else would trust him, but this person would never compete with him then, and he wouldn't be able to expose his disguise.

He absolutely would not allow this person to go around swindling people under the guise of a Sixth Grade Alchemist.

"It is a holy medicine seed."

"Tell me! How do you want to compete? Although I am a Sixth Grade Alchemist, refining Sixth Grade Spirit Pills requires a medicine king, and I don't have one."

Zhu Chong sneered inwardly, 'Still trying to use the excuse of not having a medicine king to back out of the competition? How could I let you have your way?'

"We won't refine Sixth Grade Medicinal Pills. We'll refine Fifth Grade Medicinal Pills. Whoever refines a Medicinal Pill of better quality wins."

"That's a good idea. Then let's each choose our Spirit Medicine!"

Jiang Yunfan immediately sought help from the Bagua Furnace Artifact Spirit, informing it about his Alchemy competition.

"You brat, you're not even an Alchemist and you're competing in Alchemy? Clean up your own mess."

"Senior, I'm doing it for that five-colored earth. With the five-colored earth, I can cultivate the holy medicine seed on me. Please help, Senior."

"Considering you helped me break the Seal, I'll help you this once."

"Thank you, Senior."

Under the guidance of the Bagua Furnace Artifact Spirit, Jiang Yunfan selected the Spirit Medicine for refining a Fifth Grade Profound Yang Pill, all of which were Yang-attribute and Fire-attribute Spirit Medicine.

Zhu Chong looked at Jiang Yunfan, who was selecting Spirit Medicine, and noticed that he was choosing only Yang-attribute and Fire-attribute Spirit Medicine, guessing that he intended to refine a Yang-attribute or Fire-attribute Medicinal Pill.

A moment later.

Jiang Yunfan and Zhu Chong had both finished selecting their Spirit Medicine.

Zhu Chong took out his Pill Furnace, which was a Low Grade Spiritual Artifact.

Jiang Yunfan took out the eight trigrams furnace.

The Bagua Furnace Artifact Spirit concealed its aura; unless one's Cultivation Level was extremely high, it would be impossible to tell that it was a Sacred Artifact.

"A dignified Sixth Grade Alchemist actually uses a Treasure Artifact Pill Furnace? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

"This kid is clearly an impostor. He boasts about being a Sixth Grade Alchemist, but I don't think he's even a Third Grade Alchemist."

"Third Grade Alchemist? You think too highly of him. I think he's at most a Second Grade Alchemist."

Jiang Yunfan turned a deaf ear to everyone's mockery. Once he refined the Medicinal Pills, he would surely give them a good slap in the face.

He placed the Spirit Medicine into the eight trigrams furnace. He pretended to refine the Medicinal Pills, but in reality, everything was secretly controlled by Senior Artifact Spirit.

Seeing Jiang Yunfan begin Alchemy, Zhu Chong also started his refining process.

More and more people came to watch.

Soon, five Medicinal Pills flew out of the eight trigrams furnace, each of them of the High Grade.

Zhu Chong, however, was still refining Medicinal Pills.

Seeing the Medicinal Pills that came out of the furnace, all of which were of the High Grade, his face turned pale. The best Medicinal Pill he had ever refined was merely High Grade, and those were few and far between.

He had never refined a Medicinal Pill of the High Grade.

"Master Zhu, do you still want to continue the competition?"

"I concede."

The entire place was in an uproar.

Master Zhu actually conceded.

Although it was cheating, Jiang Yunfan was thick-skinned and didn't blush at all.

"Bring out the five-colored earth!"

Though reluctant, Zhu Chong was a man of his word. He took out the five-colored earth.

"Thanks."

"Beautiful lady, please pack the remaining Spirit Medicine. I will pay for the Spirit Medicine Master Zhu just used."

Jiang Yunfan, in a moment of conscience, paid for Master Zhu's Spirit Medicine.

After paying the Spirit Stones, Jiang Yunfan left the Hundred Treasures Pavilion.

"Great Master, please wait."

Jiang Yunfan suddenly stopped. He turned around and saw a Man in Purple Robes with an extraordinary demeanor approaching him.

"What is it?"

"I am Nangong Jue. I just witnessed Great Master's Alchemy, and your Alchemy technique is astonishingly divine. I would like to ask Great Master to refine a Sixth Grade heavenly human pill. I will provide the Spirit Medicine, and once the Medicinal Pill is refined, I will give Great Master a generous reward."

heavenly human pill.

Although Jiang Yunfan was not familiar with Medicinal Pills, he knew from the pill's name that the heavenly human pill was a Medicinal Pill that aided in Breakthrough to the Heaven and Man Realm. Such a Medicinal Pill was quite valuable.

Moreover, refining a Sixth Grade Medicinal Pill required a medicine king as the main ingredient.

A medicine king was precisely what he needed to forge his Longevity Body.

"I don't lack Spirit Stones. I am only interested in Spirit Medicine. Give me a medicine king as compensation, and I will refine the Medicinal Pill for you. Others have a maximum success rate of 70% when refining Sixth Grade Medicinal Pills, but my success rate is 100%. I have never failed in Alchemy."

No sooner had he finished boasting than the voice of the Bagua Furnace Artifact Spirit came from his ear, "You brat, don't boast too much."

"Senior, you are a Pill Furnace that once followed a Pill Saint. I believe Senior will never fail."

"You brat, stop flattering me."

Jiang Yunfan thought to himself, 'I just asked if you felt comfortable being flattered or not.'

Nangong Jue hesitated for a moment, then said, "As long as Great Master can refine the heavenly human pill, I will present the medicine king with both hands."

He actually agreed.

Jiang Yunfan was a little surprised. Not everyone could produce a medicine king. It seemed this Nangong Family had quite a deep foundation!

"System, give me information about the Nangong Family."

"[Today's Intelligence (Orange): The Nangong Family is a declining Ancient Desolate Family. Although in decline, its foundation remains. There are five Dharma Idol Realm Giants within the clan, and one Nirvana Realm Great Expert presiding.]"

It truly confirmed the old saying, 'A lean camel is still bigger than a horse.'

Jiang Yunfan smiled and said, "Then lead the way!"

Nangong Jue said, "Great Master, please."

The Nangong Family was not in Floating Cloud City, so the two left Floating Cloud City.
