Medical Sage

It is well known that being an alchemist is an exceptionally prestigious profession in the Cultivation World. Even those major figures in formidable or fearsome forces generally won’t rashly choose to oppose an alchemist, because it’s an unwise move.

Furthermore, many sects or family forces with slightly stronger foundations will go to great lengths, sparing no expense, to cultivate their own exclusive alchemist!

This is not only because the title of alchemist itself symbolizes wealth, like a mobile treasure trove and vast connections!

More importantly, whether a force possesses its own exclusive alchemist, and the cultivation level and realm of the Alchemy Dao of that alchemist, directly affects the status and reputation of that force!

Imagine if a force had a high-level alchemist in residence, their reputation would spread far and wide, and who wouldn’t show them respect? This demonstrates the true value inherent in alchemists!

However, despite everyone’s desire to become an alchemist, and various forces wanting to cultivate their own alchemist, within the Cultivation World, relatively speaking, the number of alchemists is still remarkably low, perhaps not even one-billionth of the total population.

Because this profession indeed requires an extraordinary talent!

Moreover, the most crucial aspect is that even a low-ranking alchemist requires an immense amount of alchemy materials to succeed. Who from humble backgrounds, like a loose cultivator or a small sect disciple, could achieve this?

Therefore, for Mon Yi and the experts currently in the Enlightened Deity Cave, just the weight of the term ’alchemist’ is more than deserving of their utmost attention and respect! But now?

But now, our Chen Fei, Young Master Chen, casually mentions using alchemy materials only an alchemist would need, doesn’t that mean…

”Lord Cave Master, could it be that you are actually a noble alchemist?” One person in the hall stammered, their voice filled with intense trembling! Their gaze was indeed extremely eager and excited.

If that were true, wouldn’t their future days be as pleasant as could be?

Thus, not only he but everyone present, upon hearing this question, looked at Chen Fei again with eyes full of tremors and excitement.

”Stop talking nonsense. Just bring over the items first.” Upon hearing this, Chen Fei, Young Master Chen, kept them guessing, speaking nonchalantly.

”Yes, I’ll fetch them immediately.” Upon hearing this, the people in the hall snapped back, instantly sobered up. Mon Yi responded without hesitation.

For any force, the place where resources are stored is of utmost importance! In the Golden Toad Cave, or rather, in the Enlightened Deity Cave, the only ones who had access to the resource warehouse were the King of Gilded Toads, himself, Zang Rui, and previously, Iron One.

Now, since Iron One didn’t speak, it was naturally up to him to retrieve them.

Moments later, accompanied by others, he brought over all the alchemy materials from the resource storage. There were dozens of boxes, large and small, each radiating various glows, emitting a plethora of enticing, bitter, or sweet aromas, making them highly striking and eye-catching.

”Lord Cave Master, this is the stockpile of alchemy materials from the cave for nearly ten years. Please review it.” After bringing the alchemy materials, Mon Yi spoke with utmost respect.

”Hmm… nearly ten years? What about ten years ago?” Chen Fei nodded slightly but then asked.

In his view, the Golden Toad Cave likely existed far longer than just ten years, right?

”Reporting to Lord Cave Master, about a third of the past stock was offered as tribute to the Purple Flame Palace, and the rest was sold by the King of Gilded Toads. You know, we did not have an alchemist in residence, so even if the materials were kept, they were of no use.” Mon Yi explained.

”I see.”

Chen Fei nodded knowingly and said no more. Then, he turned his gaze toward the dozens of boxes of alchemy materials, examining them carefully.

The Golden Toad Cave covers a territory of nearly two or three hundred miles, which, while not extremely large, is certainly not small! Hence, the accumulation of these alchemy materials was indeed somewhat surprising; however, most of these materials were quite low-grade, suitable for refining first or second level pills.

Beyond that, they lacked the quality and potency.

”Hmm?”

Moments later, Chen Fei, Young Master Chen’s eyes brightened slightly. With a wave of his hand, from the large and small boxes of alchemy materials, two or three dozen streams of various lights shot up, floating in the air. Then, a burst of all kinds of pleasant or bitter fragrances spread through the hall.

”These are not bad… they should be barely sufficient to refine something.”

Gazing at the various alchemy materials floating mid-air, Chen Fei waved his hand again, causing dozens more ordinary alchemy materials to leap from the boxes on the ground, to serve as supplementary ingredients, hovering in mid-air.

Puff!

Then, before everyone in the hall could recover from Chen Fei’s peculiar actions, a blazing Sanyang True Fire rushed up high into the hall, enveloping all the alchemy materials suspended in mid-air!

Following that was the sorting, processing of materials, and extracting essence... All of this happened at an unbelievable speed!

In just a moment, everyone in the hall was left dumbfounded, their faces filled with shock.

”This, isn’t the Lord Cave Master refining pills right now?”

”How is that possible? Even though I don’t understand alchemy, isn’t it necessary to have a pill furnace and make preparations in advance?”

”Then, what is this... Could there really be such an incredible alchemy technique in the world?”

”Who exactly is our new Cave Master? This is simply...”

...

Almost everyone in the hall was instantly thrown into chaos. Their faces uniformly displayed shock, astonishment, and disbelief.

Because even if they could accept that Chen Fei was a distinguished alchemist, what is happening now is simply beyond comprehension!?

Without a pill furnace or Earth Core Fire, and without any prior preparations, Chen Fei just started refining all those different alchemy materials as if he were cooking a stew! And the most amazing part is that everything was done so seamlessly and naturally that not even these outsiders could pick out a single flaw!

Is he ’bullying’ them for not understanding alchemy, or does their new Cave Master possess an alchemy prowess that has reached an incomprehensible height, surpassing extraordinary limits?

While they were overwhelmed with shock, their faces incredulous and mouths agape, Chen Fei, Young Master Chen, had already processed all the alchemy materials at an incredible speed and started the final step, merging the pills into the Sanyang True Fire.

Indeed, if one wants to properly refine pills, a pill furnace and prior preparations should be essential!

But the main point now is that the pills he was refining were of too ’low’ a grade, the highest being just a low grade third-level pill, not warranting such seriousness and full effort.

Thus, after about half an hour, pills wrapped in silver patterns, emitting a pill fragrance, appeared one by one before the eyes of the hall’s people, whose pupils were widening due to excitement and trembling.

”Sil... Silver Pattern... Those are the legendary Silver Pattern Pills, am I dreaming!?”

”This, this is simply too incredible, to have refined Silver Pattern Pills.”

”The key point is, each and every one of those pills is a Silver Pattern Pill. Not a single one isn’t... My God, just how formidable is the Lord Cave Master as an alchemist? This is simply...”

...

Everyone present was completely stunned by the scene before their eyes, their faces dumb, mouths agape, eyes dazed, as if their jaws might just drop to the floor! Those were Silver Pattern Pills.

To them, not to mention the legendary Silver Pattern Pills, even two patterns or three patterns are extremely rare and exorbitantly expensive!

But now? Their new Cave Master actually, actually, right before everyone’s eyes, casually, like child’s play, refined dozens of Silver Pattern Pills!

Each newly born second level superior or low grade third-level pill in mid-air was at the four mark Silver Pattern level, without exception!

This reality was more unreal than dreaming! It’s just too incredible!

”I said before, if you choose to stay, I wouldn’t let you regret that decision.”

Then, Chen Fei, Young Master Chen’s calm voice resonated in the hall like an imperial edict, filled with majesty and presence.

”These are Rolling Cloud Pills, second level superior. If nothing unexpected happens, taking them back should break through your current bottleneck and advance further.” Chen Fei pointed to a certain kind of pill in mid-air with cloud patterns on the surface and said plainly.

Whish! Whish! Whish...

As the words fell, the hall erupted in a flash of cloud light. Dozens of pale white beams shot towards the crowd, transforming into perfectly smooth pills before them.

”Break through the bottleneck!?” Many people in the hall heard Chen Fei’s words, looked at the smooth pills floating before them, and felt the astonishing medicinal power, couldn’t help but show expressions of ecstasy on their faces!
