Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor-Novel

Chapter 367 - Saint Alchemist

"Fifth junior brother, are you alright?" asked Lan Ling as she looked at Wang Wei up down, checking to see if there is any visible wound on his body.

Immediately, Wang Wei internally frowned; he could detect that her behavior was abnormal. Although Lan Ling is a caring person she never displayed it so openly.

Wang Wei also noticed a surprised look from his first senior brother. Obviously, he also found her behavior odd.

Although he knew that the power of the Infatuation Flower was not completely sealed, it was more than enough for now. Additionally, since Lou Cheng also has feelings for Lan Ling, this flower will benefit the two of them greatly.

They just have to wait for Wang Wei to leave.

With a smile on his face, Wang Wei replied: "I'm more than fine. As you can see, I had many opportunities and my cultivation had drastically risen."

It was then that Lan Ling realized that his fifth junior brother had entered the Divine Body Realm in just 200 years. This kind of time placed him on equal value with top geniuses.

Although not comparable to these Heaven Chosens, however, how many people out of trillions of cultivators have the right to hold that title?

With Lou Cheng's previous talent, he was considered a genius cultivator but nowhere near top genius. According to his previous displayed talent, it would have taken him between 800 years to 1000 years before entering the Divine Body Realm.

"It seemed that your luck is very good fifth brother," said Wan Luo with a sarcastic tone, and a little hidden envy.

"Indeed, my luck seemed to have increased as of late," replied Wang Wei with a calm smile.

Wan Luo snorted lightly after hearing this and did not say anything more. Even Lan Ling just gave a slight smile to Wang Wei before continuing to wait.

After seeing this, Wang Wei was a little relieved. He was truly afraid that the Infatuation Flower would drastically change her personality and draw attention to his cheap master.

A few minutes later, Ji Yulou arrived with a pale complexion, obviously injured. As a disciple of Fu Caiyun, he did not escape the sect's assassination target.

Nevertheless, the fact that he escaped alive showed that the Ji family valued him greatly.

As Wang Wei glanced at him, he could feel a slight joy coming from Ji Yulou despite his injury, and he could guess the reason. The Ji family must be quite happy that Liu Meixiu is dead.

Wang Wei secretly shook his head at the short-sightedness of the Ji family and the circumstance of the Herd Rising Valley. If these people were not so busy infighting, they could properly raise Liu Meixiu as a Heaven Chosen to compete for the throne.

With their ability, it would not take so long for her to reach the core of this secret realm, and Wang Wei could not take advantage of the situation. As long as Liu Meixiu acquired the dragon bone and absorbed it, she would be more than qualified to compete for the throne.

And even if she failed in this generation, with her evolved Myriad Beast Physique, it should be more than enough to survive. Then, all she had to do was sealed herself and wait for a few generations to compete again.

Truth be told, Wang Wei guessed that Liu Meixiu's ruthlessness or cutthroat morality is the result of her environment. Living in such fierce competition, she probably learned at a young age that the life of the weak was as meaningless as a piece of grass on a side road.

So, to survive, she did whatever it took to survive; she had no scruples, as long as the means justified the end, she will do it.

Despite knowing this, Wang Wei did not feel bad for killing her; since she decided to live her life with such twisted philosophy, she should foresee that her end would be miserable.

Indeed, cultivators usually treat mortals as if they were nothing but ants, however, they usually restrain themselves as they know that Karma exists in this world.

If not careful, they could pay dearly for their action.

While deep in thought, Wang Wei's group soon returned to the Origin Pill Dao Sect. Wang Wei and his fellow brothers went to meet their masters to report their gains.

Ye Lao was especially pleased with Lou Cheng's progress and praised him endlessly. Wang Wei placed a polite and shy smile on his face during the entire situation before returning to his cave.

On his way back, he could feel a very gloomy aura from one of the caves; it was Fu Caiyun's. The latter is obviously furious at the loss of his people.

After returning home, Wang Wei began to reflect on his gain during this secret realm. And after pondering about it for a while, he concluded that he was not that happy,

True that he acquired the remains of an Innate Demon. However, this would only benefit him in the later stage of his cultivation.

Both his Array and Alchemy Mastery have drastically increased in the past 200 years, thus increasing his foundation. He even create the embryo of a powerful technique based on Lou Cheng's Innate Talent that would probably help even one day when he becomes a Paragon.

Nevertheless, the true purpose of all this planning was not achieved. He thought the [Flame Controlling Scripture] was related to his objective in infiltrating this sect, and by learning its secret, he might quickly achieve his objective.

But he was wrong.

After thinking about this, he took a deep breath to calm down. He was not in a rush, however, if things could be achieved quicker, it would be better.

So, he decided to think of another plan.

A few hours later, after entering a deep state of mediation to clear his mind, he exhaled deeply:

"It seems that I should be a little bolder."

The next day, Wang Wei directly went to the Testing Hall to change his Alchemy Grade.

With little effort, he refined a Top-Level Earth Grade Pill and became a Top Tier 2 Alchemist. However, to everyone's surprise, he did stop there and asked to test to become a Tier 3 Alchemist and refine a Heaven Grade Pill.

When it comes to Tier 3 Alchemist, their status is completely different from Tier 2. For one, you do not have to pay to take the test, however, only if you pass.

Many people thought that Lou Cheng was crazy; To them, it was already a surprise that he managed to refine a Top Earth Grade Pill. Now, he wanted to refine a Heaven Grade one?

However, Wang Wei ignored them.

According to the rules, as long as he was a Top Tier 3 Alchemist, he can ask for the test. So, the people were forced to observe.

Then, another shock occurred.

Wang Wei refined a pill with 10 million divine runes.

There is a vast difference between the Earth and Heaven Grade. The best Earth Grade Pill requires 10,000 runes but the lowest Heaven Grade PIll requires 1 million, and the highest 10 million.

This was an increase of 100 fold.

This is one of the main reasons that most Alchemists stay at Tier 2 their entire lives; the difficulty was simply insane.

So, when Wang Wei refined the peak Heaven Grade Pill, all the judge members were shocked–especially given his low-level cultivation. In the early Tiers of Alchemy, it is reasonable to refine higher Tiers of pills.

However, the latter Tier requires a high cultivation level since the power of the soul is needed to engrave the runes.

The judges of the Testing Hall thought they were shocked enough but they were not prepared for what happened next.

Wang Wei or Lou Cheng asked to test to become a Tier 4 Saint Alchemist. As soon as he uttered these words, the Origin Pill Dao Sect was slightly shaken.

All the higher-ups were alarmed and many people came to watch this test; anyone with a slight political mind knew that things will be shaking up a little if he succeeded.

As such, his test was postponed for a week later to gather the necessary people. After all, this was not a simple matter.. No matter what, the status of a Saint Alchemist was very noble and required more rigid tests and standards to acquire.
