Chapter 53: One Hundred Percent Pill Success Rate

Lin An led a group of inner‑sect disciples into the Alchemy Room, glanced at the steward above, and said calmly, "Junior brother Qin Yu, this is the spiritual medicine you need."

I didn't expect that as soon as the junior brother entered the inner sect, he would start lecturing these stewards of the Alchemy Room—quite a spectacle.

A hint of surprise flickered deep in Lin An's eyes.

When he saw the group, he instantly understood what had happened.

It was a trap, set on Qin Yu.

Did these people not investigate beforehand? The matter that three core elders prized about Qin Yu has already spread among the outer sect, yet they received no word.

Back then, those three core elders almost came to blows.

A prodigy like him, and they offended him over two hundred thousand spiritual stones? Truly foolish.

He immediately sent a voice, "Junior brother Qin, be careful. The stewards of the Alchemy Room are connected to several True Transmission disciples; they resell pills and swindle some newly promoted inner‑sect disciples.

If you act, you'd better be prepared to oppose the people behind them.

After all… if you win, you'll have completely disgraced them."

Lin An gave a rough account of what he knew.

Qin Yu heard this, nodded slightly, but… the matter had come to this.

The other side was essentially offering the alchemy process and two hundred thousand spiritual stones for free; refusing would seem rather ungracious.

After all, they also wanted to extract spiritual stones from him.

He had already formed a malicious intent.

"Lin An? Is this the person behind him? Inform those True Transmission disciples; I fear the matter will blow up soon.

Qin Yu is bound to lose; if they try to save face, the reputation of the Alchemy Room will take a heavy hit."

One of the Alchemy Room stewards spoke in a low voice and gave a brief report.

Lin An's reputation within the inner sect was considerable; he once had a chance to join the True Transmission ranks, his strength was not weak, and his network of relations was complex.

If a real disturbance occurs, they might not be able to resolve it.

Moreover, the Lin family's external influence is vast, with an Earth‑Immortal Strongman stationed, making them hard to provoke.

When trouble arises, they inform the True Transmission behind them, after all they also claim a share of the profit.

Swindling these newly promoted inner‑sect disciples is just one source of profit.

Thus, they will also step in to resolve it.

Back then there were many troubles; merely to be promoted to Yellow Rank Alchemist, some spent a million spiritual stones, one scheme after another.

Things like Rapid Pill Formulas.

Things like Rapid Yellow Rank Superior.

Various assorted junk sold at high prices.

In the end, that person also had a strong backing; within the sect he knew an Outer Sect Elder, and his clan even had an Earth‑Immortal Strongman.

But when those True Transmission disciples acted, they demoted the Outer Sect Elder to steward and dispatched him to war, never to return for a hundred years.

Because their so‑called rapid methods involved secret tampering.

For example, they covertly controlled the fire and the furnace to create an illusion, or used a simplified Pill Formula—the simplest brewing method—to rush the process, but any other pills of the same grade had a 100% failure rate.

Therefore, the problem is huge.

"Alright."

One of the elders instantly left the Alchemy Room and headed to the True Transmission Courtyard to sway people.

At this moment, Qin Yu on the platform closed his eyes tightly, carefully recalling the previous plain‑clothed elder's alchemy method and process.

He continuously simulated it in his mind.

After a brief pause, he slapped his right hand, the Alchemy Cauldron ignited, and several herbs, in order, poured into the cauldron.

The flames rose gradually, constantly dancing within the cauldron.

Each herb was melted into liquid, slowly merging.

It consumed a lot; Qin Yu felt the spiritual energy in his dantian draining continuously.

"Spirit Refinement Technique"

He immediately began to operate the Spirit Refinement Technique; one hand grasped a crystal‑clear spiritual stone, and in an instant merged its spiritual energy into his dantian.

"How… how is this possible? What kind of method directly converts the spiritual energy inside a spiritual stone?"

The plain‑clothed elder's eyes flashed with a hint of shock, and he spoke in a low voice.

One must know that to absorb the spiritual energy in a spiritual stone, impurities must be removed.

It also requires meridian conversion before it can merge into the body.

The process is extremely complex.

It also takes a great deal of time.

But… the boy before us skipped all steps and directly infused the spiritual energy into his dantian.

This is absurd! Is this a method meant for the Foundation Establishment realm? A technique of this level simply isn't attainable at that realm.

"His technique is very crude; don't worry, he's merely imitating your Foundation Pill."

"He actually thinks he can learn alchemy just by watching once? Crazy. Not even a Mystic Stage Complete alchemist could achieve that."

The stewards each wore a cold sneer.

They let the plain‑clothed elder relax.

Even if he solved the spiritual energy issue, he still couldn't produce a pill.

They have already seen that Qin Yu truly cannot brew a Foundation Pill; every move is just learning the initial sounding technique.

Extremely crude.

There was a hint of longing in their eyes, because the other side had snagged 120,000 spiritual stones for free.

It was only half an hour, that's too fast.

He didn't even need any tricks to fool those inner sect disciples; it saved a lot of time.

【Perfect Fire Control Trait, activate.】

Qin Yu infused strands of spiritual energy into the flames, enveloping the herbs, and began the smelting.

Not a single drop of the herbs' efficacy was wasted.

When the temperature reached its peak, the air in the room grew scorching.

"The herbs' energy… still hasn't leaked? How is that possible?"

The plain‑clothed elder beside him now showed a look of shock deep in his eyes.

Even a ground‑rank alchemist couldn't achieve this.

No matter how skilled the fire‑control technique, it's impossible to keep all the herbs' efficacy inside the Alchemy Cauldron.

And Qin Yu has no alchemical skill at all.

Pure imitation.

"Bzzzz"

The pill inside gradually took shape, and the rich aroma began to drift through the alchemy chamber.

Many inner sect disciples now wore radiant expressions; just from the scent, the bottlenecks in their bodies seemed to loosen a bit.

They couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

"Boom"

The flames inside the Alchemy Cauldron instantly coalesced into a blazing sphere.

Crystal‑clear Foundation Establishment Pills, radiating Dao essence, seemed to merge with heaven and earth, perfectly flawless, floated within the Alchemy Cauldron.

At that moment, a prompt rang in his mind.

【You follow a net‑friend's suggestion, brew the pill step by step, gain double critical hits, double efficacy, a perfect success rate, reach the Yellow Rank Superior Grade, and the consumer attains the Foundation Establishment realm, allowing a breakthrough into a minor realm.】

Qin Yu's eyes flashed with shock—could he use it himself? Instantly, eight smooth pills appeared before everyone.

The plain‑clothed elder's complexion turned grim.

A hundred percent success rate!

The key is that this kid truly has never forged a Foundation Establishment Pill? What kind of genius has he provoked?
