nHe Was Actually About to Succeed!

nAs steam rose from the alchemy furnace, everyone’s attention was drawn towards it.

nTheir faces were filled with shock and disbelief.

nZhou Yun was actually about to succeed!

nThey did not expect that his crude alchemy technique could actually refine pills. Everyone was very puzzled.

nThe Grand Elder was also confused, but he did not think too much about it.

nPerhaps this was the way to successfully refine a perfect-grade pill?

nPerhaps his careful methods had all been for naught?

nHe shook his head and focused his attention back on the alchemy furnace.

nOther pills would usually emit some medicinal fragrance. This was the wasted medicinal power of the pills.

nDue to the emitted fragrance, the medicinal strength of the pills would often deteriorate greatly after a period of time.

nOn the other hand, the method of producing perfect-grade pills was completely different from that of other pills. The effects of the two were also as different as heaven and earth.

nDue to the nature of perfect-grade pills, the medicinal power was completely sealed in.

nTherefore, there was no smell of medicine at all.

nThere were usually several ways to distinguish a perfect-grade pill.

nThe first way was to smell it. The second was to see its color and shape. The third was to taste its medicinal properties.

nA pill could be considered perfect if it did not have any medicinal fragrance, had a bright color and was without blemishes.

nWith a burst of steam, the fire under the alchemy furnace gradually extinguished.

nZhou Yun stepped forward and opened the lid of the furnace. The moment he opened it, another red mist was released. It was hot and Zhou Yun had no choice but to retreat.

nThe figure of an old man flickered and appeared in front of him, blocking the heat wave. The former reached out and took out the pills from the furnace.

nWhen Zhou Yun saw this scene, he was slightly shocked. The heat wave that was emitted from the furnace was something that he could not withstand.

nIf he were to put his hand into the furnace, his entire arm would probably melt in the process.

nHowever, the Grand Elder directly reached in and took out the pills.

nThe heat didn’t seem to affect him at all.

n…

nThe Grand Elder was the first to rush up, followed by the sect leader of Spirit Valley, Ling Qingyun.

nThere was an inquisitive look in his eyes. I clearly wanted to ask if the pills were perfect.

nThe crowd also slowly approached the alchemy furnace.

nThe elder on the stage stared at the pills in his hand and his voice trembled slightly as he said, “There’s no leakage of medicinal power at all. Their color is perfect, and they are flawless. They are indeed perfect-grade pills!”

nHearing the Grand Elder’s words, everyone present was petrified once again.

nAlthough they had already mentally prepared themselves, they still could not suppress the shock in their hearts when they heard the Grand Elder confirm that Zhou Yun had refined perfect-grade pills.

nWhen they thought about it, the previous 12 perfect-grade pills were also concocted by Zhou Yun.

nNot only did Zhou Yun succeed in refining perfect-grade pills, he even managed to do so consecutively.

nThose who had experience in alchemy all looked at Zhou Yun with admiration.

nOnly they knew how difficult it was to succeed twice in a row.

nEven if they were refining ordinary pills, they could not guarantee success every time.

nUsually, an alchemist needed to rest for a few days after refining once. They would only continue after readjusting their mental state.

nHowever, Zhou Yun managed to successfully concoct pills twice in a day. Moreover, he produced two batches of perfect-grade pills.

nIf this scene had not occurred before them and they had not witnessed the entire process with their own eyes, they would not have believed it.

n“Well done, boy!” Sir Pill applauded. He couldn’t contain his excitement and smacked Zhou Yun on the shoulder.

nSmack!

nZhou Yun immediately heard the sound of his arm being dislocated.

nHe cursed internally, “It’s okay to be excited. But why did you smack me? Don’t you know your own strength?”

nAfter he finished complaining, he silently grabbed his arm and pushed it back into its socket.

nSir Pill was so ecstatic that he couldn’t even speak coherently.

nHow could he not be thrilled when a once-in-ten-thousand-years genius appeared in the sect?

nA genius who could refine perfect-grade pills was a monster.

nIn the entire immortal cultivation world, such geniuses were very rare. Perhaps the sect could use Zhou Yun to escape their current predicament and reach a higher level.

nFurthermore, he could also exchange pointers with Zhou Yun.

nIf it wasn’t for the fact that he needed to keep up appearances in front of everyone, he would have already pulled Zhou Yun away.

nWith Zhou Yun by his side, he would not feel bored even if he did not go out for 100 years.

nIn all honesty, refining pills was never boring. It was so much fun.

nSir Pill was so certain that Zhou Yun shared the same sentiment. He had no doubts about this.

nHis eyes glowed as he looked at Zhou Yun with a feverish expression.

nZhou Yun looked into Sir Pill’s eyes and felt a shiver down his spine.

nAt this moment, everyone had gathered around. Their eyes filled with extreme excitement.

nEven some of the junior sisters’ eyes were filled with amazement. They kept throwing flirtatious looks at Zhou Yun, trying to attract his attention.

nWith an ongoing resource shortage, having an alchemist as a boyfriend was advantageous.

nMoreover, Zhou Yun was an alchemist who could refine perfect-grade pills.

nA girl with such a boyfriend would be very popular no matter where she went.

nWhen the ladies thought of this, they quickly went up to Zhou Yun, hoping that he would notice them.

nIn an instant, Zhou Yun was surrounded by different fragrances.

n“Brother Zhou Yun, you’re really amazing!”

n“They didn’t believe you just now. Only I have always believed in you.”

nA crisp voice rang out, and Zhou Yun felt a weight on his shoulder. Then, he felt a soft and smooth sensation from his arm. It brought with it waves of fragrance.

nHe lowered his head and saw Qiao’er hanging onto him like a koala bear.

n“Yes, I’ve always believed in Qiao’er too!”

nZhou Yun was afraid that Qiao’er would lose her balance, so he reached out and held her slender waist.

nHer waist was so thin that Zhou Yun could wrap his entire arm around her.

nFeeling Zhou Yun’s movements, Qiao’er slowly blushed all the way down to her neck.

nQin Xiu’s eyes widened unconsciously when he saw this scene. He glared at Zhou Yun and gritted his teeth so hard that his gums bled.

nHe no longer cared if Zhou Yun had managed to refine perfect-grade pills.

nHe just couldn’t figure out why Qiao’er liked Zhou Yun so much.

nWhy had Qiao’er put her trust in Zhou Yun from the very beginning?

nSeeing the person he liked in someone else’s arms, Qin Xiu felt very indignant. He only wanted to duel Zhou Yun to the death.

nSu Wanyi looked at Zhou Yun, who was surrounded by people, and began to question her life.

nAfter listening to what her junior brothers had told her, she had believed that Zhou Yun would fail. However, to her surprise, Zhou Yun actually refined some perfect-grade pills with such a crude method.

nAfter pondering for a moment, she sighed softly.

nShe concluded, “It seems like Zhou Yun can’t be judged by common sense!”
