Chapter 86: Inferior Alchemist

Chen Hao hadn't expected the Blood Demon to be so powerful that it could refine a supernatural entity into a Yin Spirit Pearl.

Looking at the Yin Spirit Pearl in his hand, which contained the aura of the dead, Chen Hao was incredibly excited.

To others, this Yin Spirit Pearl was trash.

But to Chen Hao, this Yin Spirit Pearl was a great tonic.

"Come back, Blood Demon."

Chen Hao put the Blood Demon away.

He turned his head and glanced at the man on the ground.

That guy had already passed out by now.

Chen Hao ignored him and walked outside.

"Xiaobu, are you alright?"

Looking at Lu Xiaobu, who was being supported by Lu Xiaoji, Chen Hao couldn't help but ask.

"I'm... I'm fine!"

In order to parry those scissors, Lu Xiaobu's hand had split open.

"Brother Hao, I'm sorry, I've made a fool of myself."

Lu Xiaobu had thought that by breaking through to the Master Realm, he could keep up with Chen Hao's pace.

He hadn't expected the gap to still be so large.

Lu Xiaoji's heart was also filled with stormy waves at this moment.

He had heard Chen Hao say with his own ears that the old woman was General Realm.

Yet Chen Hao had actually dealt with her.

Although he didn't know how Chen Hao had managed it, Lu Xiaoji was still deeply shocked.

"Alright, let's go, let's head back."

During the battle just now, Chen Hao had consumed a massive amount of ability energy.

So he didn't treat Lu Xiaobu himself, but instead took him to Bai Jie.

After the treatment,

Lu Xiaoji supported Lu Xiaobu as they left.

Chen Hao, however, did not leave.

"Xiao Hao, do you still have something to do?"

Bai Jie tucked her hair behind her ear, revealing her beautiful face.

"Sister Bai Jie, I would like to ask you for some advice."

"If I want to refine a General Realm Pill, who should I go to?"

"Naturally, you should go to Old Bai!"

"He is the strongest alchemist we have here."

"Then may I ask where Old Bai is?"

"I'll give you an address, go find him."

"Good."

Chen Hao followed the address Bai Jie gave him and headed to where Old Bai was.

After getting out of the car and seeing the scene in front of him, Chen Hao was a bit confused.

"What's the situation? An unfinished building?"

Although puzzled, Chen Hao still walked inside.

Boom!

Before he had taken a few steps, he heard a huge explosion.

He walked in the direction the explosion had come from.

He saw thick smoke billowing out of a room.

Cough, cough, cough!

A guy walked out of the thick smoke.

His hair was blown up, looking as fluffy as cotton.

His entire face was terrifyingly black.

It was as if he had just crawled out of a mine shaft.

"Are you alright?"

Chen Hao asked the old man in front of him, while handing him a pack of tissues.

"I'm... I'm fine!"

The old man didn't stand on ceremony; after taking the tissues, he began to wipe his face.

As he wiped, he said, "You're from the Nanjiang Ability Bureau, right?"

Chen Hao was slightly stunned upon hearing this and asked with a smile, "How did you know?"

"Besides people from the Nanjiang Ability Bureau, no one else comes here to find me."

"Uh-huh."

Chen Hao nodded upon hearing this.

"Since you're here, you should know the rules, right?"

"Rules? What rules?"

"Money!"

"I don't refine things for others for free."

"To refine a General Realm Pill once, I need ten million."

"Don't worry, I have a special knack for refining General Realm Pills."

"As long as you give me five portions of materials, I will return one General Realm Pill to you."

Listening to the old man, Chen Hao felt speechless.

With the help of his SSS-level [True Sight Eye], Chen Hao saw the old man's information clearly.

"First-rank General Realm, C-level ability [Inferior Alchemist]."

"Inferior Alchemist?"

[Inferior Alchemist]: Strength is about the same as a terrible chess player; looks very impressive, but in reality, everything is made of paper—one poke and it breaks. Occasionally has a bit of beginner's luck.

Looking at the description from [True Sight Eye], Chen Hao finally understood why the old man was so trashy.

It turned out this guy's alchemy talent was absolute garbage.

"I'm sorry, Sister Bai Jie sent me here."

"I only brought one portion of materials, and I didn't prepare enough money."

"I'm sorry, I'll go back and prepare."

Chen Hao made an excuse to leave.

"Hey, wait a moment!"

Old Bai stopped Chen Hao.

"What did you just say? Bai Jie?"

"Yes."

Chen Hao nodded.

"Since Bai Jie sent you, I'll do this one for free."

"Kid, hand the materials to me."

Old Bai's actions caught Chen Hao off guard.

He hadn't expected Old Bai to agree.

"What are you still standing there for? Give me the stuff!"

"Good."

Chen Hao also wanted to know how these General Realm Pills were refined.

He took out one portion of materials for refining a General Realm Pill and handed it to Old Bai.

After Old Bai took it, he said to Chen Hao, "Let's go, I'll take you to see how I refine a General Realm Pill."

"But I have one request."

"That is, after I succeed in refining it, you go back and tell Bai Jie about my deeds, exactly as they happened."

Chen Hao frowned upon hearing this and couldn't help but ask, "May I ask a presumptuous question?"

"What is Sister Bai Jie to you?"

"She is my granddaughter; didn't she tell you?"

Hearing this, Chen Hao fell silent.

The eccentric old man in front of him was actually Bai Jie's grandfather.

Old Bai took Chen Hao to the place where he refined pills.

"The place from before had a furnace explosion."

"So we'll change locations."

Chen Hao scanned his surroundings and found that this place also had traces of explosions.

"This guy is a furnace-exploding maniac!"

Just as Chen Hao was thinking about whether to escape,

Old Bai had already begun refining.

"Kid, the first step in refining a General Realm Pill is to extract the essence of the materials."

As he spoke, Old Bai began to operate.

He extracted the essence of all the materials.

"The second step is to fuse the various materials together."

Old Bai began to demonstrate again.

"Now we have reached the most critical step."

"Apply pressure to them to accelerate their fusion."

As Old Bai poured in his ability energy, the entire General Realm Pill suddenly exploded.

In the instant of the explosion, Chen Hao used teleportation to escape outside.

Old Bai walked out of the room with an embarrassed look on his face.

He grinned, revealing his white teeth.

"Sorry, it failed."

"Little brother, do you have any more materials?"

"No."

"Oh!"

Old Bai was a bit disappointed.

"It's fine, if you don't have any, just go find more."

"Next time you come, I'll continue to do it for free."

"Good."

Chen Hao said "good" out loud, but in his heart, he was cursing up a storm.

"Is this the inferior alchemist comparable to a terrible chess player?"
