BXBX NOVEL Chapter 54 - 54: 5th Tier
An hour later, Elder Wu looked at the white elixir emitting a white fluorescent light in the Elixir Furnace, his face full of shock.
Wang Ping’s method of refining Spirit Realm Elixirs was too skillful, the process was smooth, which even made him doubt whether it was a Spirit Realm Elixir or a Ist-tier Elixir being refined.
However, the Elixir with a strong fragrance and the white fluorescence proved that Wang Ping had indeed refined a 4th Tier Spirit Realm Elixir, and its quality seemed excellent, at least it was a high-grade one.
“The main point of refining a 4th Tier Elixir is to control the fire,” Wang Ping looked at Elder Wu and said, “The temperature cannot be off by even a little, otherwise, it will result in a decrease in quality. In severe cases, it will produce a waste pill.”
“I’m well aware of the importance of temperature,” Elder Wu said with a bitter smile. “However, the temperature fluctuations for a 4th Tier Elixir are just too complex, it is difficult for ordinary people to control. Even with your guidance, I haven’t yet mastered it.”
“It is complex. But it’s nothing compared to the 5th Tier Elixir,” Wang Ping shook his head and said, “If it’s said that to become a 4th Tier Alchemist, the most important thing is to control the slight changes in temperature perfectly. Then, for a 5th Tier Alchemist, not only do they need to achieve perfect control of the temperature, but even more important is their cultivation. Without reaching the Transcendent Realm, they will never be able to reach the 5th Tier in their entire life.”
“Yes,” Elder Wu nodded, admiring and regretful, “It’s a pity that not only 5th Tier Alchemist but even the Master in Transcendent Realm has not appeared for hundreds of years.”
The level of cultivation has little impact on alchemists below the 5th Tier, as those in Innate Realm can refine 4th Tier Elixirs.
Even the fire used for refining elixirs can be assisted by external fire sources.
Therefore, theoretically, there is a possibility for cultivators in the Post-Heaven Realm to become a 4th Tier Alchemist.
However, it is not possible for the 5th Tier, as the 5th Tier treasure elixirs already have spirituality and strong vitality, which cannot be melted into the medicinal liquid by ordinary flames.
At the same time, ordinary flames have no spirituality and lack temperature. Only flames condensed by cultivators in the Transcendent Realm have a high enough temperature and spirituality, to be called Spirit Fire, which can refine
5th Tier spiritual elixirs.
Therefore, 5th Tier Alchemists in Profound Turtle Continent have become existences known only in legends, recorded only in ancient books.
That 4th Tier Alchemist of Sword Spirit Sect is constantly looking for opportunities outside to promote his cultivation in the hopes of breaking through the Transcendent Realm in his lifetime and attempting to become a 5th Tier Alchemist.
“In the past thousand years, due to the limitation of cultivation, it has stopped all the 4th Tier Alchemists in history,” Elder Wu sighed.
Of course, he was just lamenting.
After all, he, with limited talent, only hopes to make it to the 4th Tier in his lifetime.
As for the 5th Tier, he dares not even think about it.
“However, you, senior, may have a chance to enter the 5th Tier,” Elder Wu then looked at Wang Ping with reverence and admiration on his face.
Although it was a flattering remark, it still felt like Wang Ping had a slight hope.
After all, being a 4th Tier Alchemist at such a young age, Wang Ping just needs to successfully step into the Transcendent Realm in the future, and becoming a 5th Tier Alchemist would then be a sure thing.
By then, the whole Profound Turtle Continent would revere Wang Ping. Regardless of whether it is his strength or his skill as an Alchemist, it holds true.
If Wang Ping wants to establish his own sect in the future, then pharmacists and cultivators from all over the world will join. His sect will surely become the greatest one in history.
“Who can predict the future?” Wang Ping shook his head indifferently, packed up the Spirit Realm Elixirs, and put them into a white jade bottle. Seeing Wang Ping’s indifference, Elder Wu had a secret sigh in his heart.
Most of the young talents with great achievements tend to be arrogant.
However, Wang Ping, at such a young age, has such a calm personality, not proud nor impatient, which is really amazing.
It can be said that even without the talent in alchemy, Wang Ping is destined for greatness in the future.
There is such a figure in Sword Spirit Sect, Bai Tianhong, who is the disciple of the Supreme Elder.
However, compared to Wang Ping, Bai Tianhong is still young and shows off his sharp edges a bit too much.
Afterward, Wang Ping and Elder Wu left the Alchemy Room.
As soon as the two walked out, all the people in the Alchemy Room were looking at them, wanting to know the result.
“Senior, you are really a remarkable person. You easily refined a high-grade Spirit Realm Elixir,” Seeing everyone looking their way, Elder Wu stroked his beard and said with reverence and fanaticism.
“Hiss!”
With these words, there was an immediate sound of people sucking in a breath of cold air, their faces full of shock.
They didn’t expect that Wang Ping had actually succeeded and even refined a high-grade Spirit Realm Elixir.
This level of alchemy was simply terrifying.
For a moment, many of the senior alchemists could not help but have a thought in their hearts.
This senior was terrifying.
“He’s really a 4th Tier Alchemist, and his alchemy skills are even better than 4th Tier Alchemists of our Sword Spirit Sect” Zhang Yuan was also full of enthusiasm and bursting with excitement as he clenched his fists.
This was indeed a genius 4th Tier Alchemist that he had picked up.
The story of this accomplishment could be added to his Sect Master’s resume.
“I must treat him well in the future. If I can make him lean towards our faction, my position as Sect Master will become more stable. Even if Bai Tianhong grows, he won’t be able to shake my position,” Zhang Yuan secretly thought about the good things their faction could offer to win over Wang Ping.
“Haha, fellow taoist, it was my short-sightedness that I didn’t know there would be such a prodigy like you in the world. Please forgive me for any previous offenses,” Zhang Yuan looked at Wang Ping as he approached, smiling politely and apologizing with a bow.
“Sect Master, in my hometown, when people apologize, they should offer something as a gift to show their sincerity,” Wang Ping said to Zhang Yuan with a warm face.
‘ Zhang Yuan paused for a moment, then laughed, “If it’s a compensation gift, it’s worth giving.”
In Zhang Yuan’s view, Wang Ping felt unhappy with him.
After all, when they came to the Alchemy Room before, he had indeed doubted and allowed Elder Wu to learn from Wang Ping.
Fourth Tier Alchemists are arrogant, let alone a prodigy like Wang Ping.
It’s perfectly normal for the other side to feel unhappy..
