Fantasy: I Can Instantly Comprehend Everything

Perfect-grade Pills

“Impossible!”

“That’s impossible!”

Qin Xiu looked at the pills in Zhou Yun’s hand while rubbing his eyes in disbelief. Then, he shouted out loud without caring about his image.

One couldn’t blame him for shouting. The situation before him was too shocking.

His world view was shattered!

Qin Xiu felt his face stiffen, but his wildly beating heart couldn’t calm down.

How could he believe this?

Who would believe that?

Who would dare to believe it?

Qin Xiu knew that everyone present probably thought the same.

Zhou Yun had refined some perfect-grade pills!

If word of this got out, people would probably think of the crowd here as fools!

Alchemy was not like cultivation.

Although having talent in alchemy was crucial, more importantly, they needed a large amount of resources to spend on trial and error.

Even with the guidance of a great teacher, alchemists would only be able to refine pills after slowly accumulating enough experience.

The sect had to invest a huge amount of manpower and resources to train alchemists. This was on top of the countless resources required for cultivation.

Furthermore, there was no guarantee on the quality of the pills produced by the alchemists as they trained. They might even fail to refine Grade 1 pills.

Alchemy and equipment forging were two of the most resource-intensive professions in the cultivation world.

The complexity of the process and the resources required were unimaginable!

No matter how talented a person was, it would be difficult for them to succeed in these two professions without any guidance, yet alone refining a perfect quality item on their first attempt.

This was the stuff of dreams.

When everyone came back to their senses, they refused to believe this reality.

Someone questioned, “This is fake, right? Nowadays, there is no such thing as a perfect-grade pill.”

“You aren’t using fake pills to fool us, are you?”

“However, they really look flawless!”

“Grapes are also flawless. Is there any use eating them?”

“How can this be true? Zhou Yun must be taking us for fools!”

“That’s right, no one has ever seen a perfect-grade pill before. We only know a few appraisal methods. This could have easily been faked.”

“That’s right! These must be fake!”

“They’re fake! Zhou Yun is treating us like fools!”

The crowd voiced their skepticism of Zhou Yun.

In an instant, their initial shock turned into complete disbelief!

The main reason was that perfect-grade pills were extremely rare, and no one had even seen one before. Naturally, they could not believe that these were real.

Everyone thought that Zhou Yun was trying to please the crowd by taking out some fake pills to deceive them.

It was chaos all around.

“What are you doing?”

A stern voice resounded in everyone’s ears.

Everyone quickly stopped and looked behind them.

They saw an old man with a head of white hair standing at the entrance of the Alchemy Pavilion.

He was wearing a dark purple robe, and there was a child who seemed like his attendant beside him.

Although the old man had a head full of white hair, there was not a single wrinkle on his face. He looked very youthful.

“It’s Medicine Elder!”

“Why is Medicine Elder here?”

“Medicine Elder is the elder in charge of the Alchemy Pavilion. He must have heard the commotion just now.”

“It’s over. We must have caused too much of a ruckus and alerted him!”

Whispers continued amongst the crowd.

Zhou Yun looked at the elder of the Alchemy Pavilion through the crowd and felt a little helpless.

He had been in the sect for a few years. He wasn’t very familiar with the elders in the sect, but he had encountered them a few times and understood their habits.

This elder’s name was Yao Chen. He was the elder in charge of the Alchemy Pavilion. Usually, his favorite activity was refining pills. He did not appear in public often.

They must have caused quite a commotion and disturbed his peace. Hence, he came out to take a look.

“What’s going on? What are you all doing here?”

Yao Chen’s tone was stern, and he was annoyed.

Usually, as long as nothing major happened in the Alchemy Pavilion, he would not intervene.

However, he had just thought of a new idea for alchemy. Just as he was about to record it down, he was interrupted by the noise outside.

When everyone finally calmed down and he attempted to record his inspiration again, he realized that he had lost his train of thought.

He had missed the opportunity to record down his epiphany.

How could he not be furious?

If they couldn’t give him a reasonable explanation for their rowdiness, he would definitely punish them.

Yao Chen looked at the crowd that had gathered. The anger in his heart could not be quelled.

He snorted coldly and unleashed the might from his body.

In an instant, everyone in the pavilion felt breathless.

One of the cultivators said, “Medicine Elder, we gathered here for a reason. Zhou Yun lied to us. He said that he had refined perfect-grade pills!”

Another person chipped in, saying, “That’s right. We also heard that he had refined perfect-grade pills, so we gathered here!”

“Yeah!”

Everyone was eager to justify their presence here, and they directly pointed fingers at Zhou Yun.

Medicine Elder followed everyone’s gaze and looked at Zhou Yun.

Perfect-grade pills?

Why didn’t he just say that he had broken through to the golden core stage from the Qi cultivation stage?

Why did he like to brag so much at such a young age?

Yao Chen looked at Zhou Yun in a bad mood and was about to burst out in anger.

At this moment, a crisp voice interrupted him.

“No way!”

The person who spoke was Qiao’er. She was hugging Zhou Yun’s arm in a defensive posture.

She did so because everyone was so angry just now and seemed to want to attack Zhou Yun.

“Brother Zhou Yun has indeed refined perfect-grade pills!”

When Yao Chen heard Qiao’er’s words, he shook his head without even thinking.

A perfect-grade pill did not have any impurities and its medicinal effects were perfect, even after a 1000 years. Such a perfect pill was something that even he, who had been refining pills for decades, could only dream of.

How could an ordinary disciple of the Spirit Valley manage to refine one?

Yao Chen assumed that Qiao’er had made a mistake.

Although Qiao’er had been the most talented disciple in the sect for the past three years and her words were somewhat credible, when it came to alchemy, Yao Chen assumed that she had made a mistake or had been deceived.

Perfect-grade pills were completely different from pills of other grades. They were incomparable.

“If you don’t believe me, come and see for yourself! I’m not lying to you. Brother Zhou Yun has actually managed to refine some.”

As Qiao’er spoke, she lifted Zhou Yun’s arm and forced his hand open.

Yao Chen smiled when he heard Qiao’er’s words. He was ready to step forward and teach Qiao’er about alchemy.

Just as he was about to speak, his eyes caught the brilliance in Zhou Yun’s hand and he was instantly stunned!

The 12 pills in Zhou Yun’s hands were currently emitting a faint glow.

These pills were all round, and no matter which angle one looked at them from, they were completely flawless.

“These!”

“These are!”

“These are perfect-grade pills!”

Yao Chen stumbled three times before completing his sentence.

He appeared in front of Zhou Yun in a flash. Snatching a pill from Zhou Yun’s hand, he began to examine it carefully.

Yao Chen stared at the pill and did not dare to move. He even held his breath.

After a long time, he gradually regained his senses.

At this moment, he had already confirmed that this was really a perfect-grade pill!

Zhou Yun had 12 of them!

“Where did you get these pills?” Yao Chen asked as he raised his head and stared at Zhou Yun.
