The group of people waited anxiously outside the assessment room.

Grandmaster Alfred and the other grandmasters were waiting to see if Wang Teng could pass the alchemy grandmaster-level assessment. They truly wanted a triple-grandmaster candidate.

The Ji family didn’t care about that. Compared to the triple-grandmaster title, their focus was on the Nine Essence Soul Congealing Pill.

As for Grandmaster Kirton, he was wondering who the candidate was.

Triple-grandmaster! This was extremely rare!

Only an exceptional genius could achieve this. He wanted to see how impressive this person was to be able to let these grandmasters disregard the Ji family and help him.

“Grandmaster Alfred, which life planet is this talent from?” Grandmaster Kirton knew that the assessment had just started for half an hour, so there was a long way to go. He opened up a conversation with Grandmaster Alfred.

“I’m not sure either. However, I heard that he’s from a faraway planet.”

“A faraway planet?” Grandmaster Kirton frowned. “Will a faraway planet be able to breed such a genius?”

“Don’t look down on faraway planets. As time goes by, these planets have raised many amazing talents,” the middle-aged man from the Ji family shook his head and said.

Grandmaster Kirton was stunned. After some pondering, he realized that the man was right.

Many impressive talents came from faraway planets!

Most of them became the leaders of their generation. When they matured, they became indomitable martial warriors in their territory and enjoyed the fame of being unparalleled in the universe.

“This candidate has passed the rune assessment and is a grandmaster in runes. If he passes this alchemy assessment, he will have two grandmaster titles,” Grandmaster Alfred said.

“He has already passed the rune assessment!”

Everyone was shocked. That meant that the candidate inside had at least one grandmaster title.

“Most importantly, he’s younger than 20!” Alfred smiled.

“Less than 20!”

This time, everyone was dumbstruck.

A less than 20 year-old-grandmaster and a hundred-year-old grandmaster were two different concepts.

A young grandmaster had a bigger possibility of reaching a higher level in the future. Even a hegemon like the Ji family would have to treat this person with care.

The middle-aged man was extremely polite towards Grandmaster Kirton because they needed his help.

But if any other grandmasters provoked them, the Ji family wasn’t afraid of retaliating. This was why he stood up when Grandmaster Alfred and the other grandmasters stopped him from barging into the assessment room.

The difference in ability was apparent. The Ji family was a huge and powerful faction. They had the ability to handle a few grandmasters.

But if the person reached a higher level, even they wouldn’t dare to promise that they could deal with them.

A grandmaster already had a strong network. They could even befriend universe-stage or-eternal stage martial warriors. Conversely, these martial warriors would have to think thrice before going against a powerful faction like the Ji family. Grandmasters needed to pay a high price before they could convince these martial warriors to help them.

“No wonder! No wonder!” Grandmaster Kirton gave a bitter smile. He cupped his fists at Grandmaster Alfred and said, “Fortunately, you stopped me earlier. If not, I’d be the sinner of the alliance.”

“Grandmaster Kirton, you’re being too polite. You were worried too. We’re both thinking for the alliance. It’s good that we understand each other now,” Grandmaster Alfred said with a smile.

Polite remarks could be made by anyone.

As a grandmaster, since the other party had admitted his mistake, he wouldn’t horde onto it and offend him unnecessarily.

“Grandmaster Kirton, you have helped me greatly. The Ji family will send some gifts to show our appreciation,” the middle-aged man cupped his fists and said.

“You’re too polite. I didn’t complete my task. I’m embarrassed by the undeserved praise.” Grandmaster Kirton waved his hand.

…

As they were waiting, Wang Teng was refining his dan quickly. Indeed, he did it quickly.

More than an hour later, all the 628 ingredients needed for the Nine Essence Soul Congealing Pill were refined.

There were 120 main ingredients and 508 auxiliary materials. The difficulty of their refinement was different. Main ingredients were harder to refine, so one needed to control the fire carefully.

However, to Wang Teng, there was no difference. He just had to refine them.

He would throw 18 ingredients in the furnace randomly at once and process them simultaneously. No ingredient was treated differently.

Hua Yuan, Harol, and the other grandmasters suddenly felt that alchemy was extremely easy when they watched him. In the blink of an eye, all the 628 ingredients were dealt with.

The grandmasters glanced at one another, unable to hide the astonishment in their eyes. Suddenly, they straightened their backs. They saw Wang Teng’s next action.

He was merging the ingredients!

They stared straight at the furnace. Although they couldn’t see the situation inside, they knew that it was time for the ingredients to mix together.

Wang Teng used his spiritual power to control all the ingredients. They were either in liquid or powder form. They spun in the furnace before congregating in the middle one by one. Then, they started merging with one another.

Wang Teng strictly followed the dan prescription. There was a specific order for the merging of the ingredients. The amount of each ingredient was specific too. Not one milligram of difference could be accepted.

Grandmaster alchemists had undergone many trials before they came up with the final dan prescription. One wouldn’t be able to get the prescription just by looking.

This was why Wang Teng didn’t care if the four grandmasters watched his dan-making process. They couldn’t see much anyway.

There were more than 600 ingredients in the furnace. If he didn’t refine them personally and mark them using his spiritual power, he wouldn’t be able to differentiate them, much less others.

Thus, the dan prescription was extremely important. Many alchemists treasured their prescriptions dearly and kept them to themselves. They would never share them.

For instance, this Nine Essence Soul Congealing Pill was a rare dan medicine. Grandmaster Kirton had relied on it to make his name. Many formidable warriors would look for him to ask for a pill.

After all, injuring the spirit was inevitable during a battle between powerful martial warriors since the majority of them would use spiritual attacks. To them, the Nine Essence Soul Congealing Pill was a life-saving trump card.

While Wang Teng was merging the ingredients, the four grandmasters held their breaths. They didn’t shift their gazes away even for a split second.

Wang Teng turned serious. He was even more focused than when he was refining the ingredients.

The merging of the ingredients was much more difficult than refining them. Any carelessness could cause his efforts to go to waste. Hence, he was prudent.

Psst!

The sound of liquid touching the bottom of the furnace and burning was heard continuously. Everyone was tense. They were afraid that the sound would suddenly change, signaling a failure at the last step.

Time passed slowly in this tense atmosphere…
