Zhang Zhi snapped out of his stupor and with hurried steps arrived near Wang Ming with heavy breathing, Hall Master Zhang Zhi’s heart raced with every step he took, his heart was beating so loudly that even Wang Ming was startled by his sudden outburst

” What?” Wang Ming looked shocked as Zhang Zhi snatched the jade bottle which contained the pills with his trembling hands

Zhang Zhi unsealed the jade bottle which Wang Ming had sealed to prevent the effectiveness of his pill from diminishing, his forehead was covered in sweat due to the tension he was feeling at the moment as he laid one of the pills from the bottle on his hand to verify the quality of the pill that they had observed with their eyes

He was carefully examining the circular pill on his palm as if it was the most precious treasure in the world

GULP

Zhang Zhi swallowed a mouthful of saliva when he saw his assumption turning into reality, his entire face turned red from excitement, and was trying his best not to drop the pill on the ground due to the uncontrollable trembling of his hands

” H-Heavens, t-this is really a p-peak grade pill!” Zhang Zhi exclaimed loudly which caused Yang Baihu and Ning Chu who were frozen stiff to approach him with unsteady steps

” H-Hall M-Master, is that really a p-p-peak Grade Pill???” Ning Chu said with a stutter and unconcealed excitement, he was having trouble believing that such a young man could accomplish a feat that even veteran Alchemist are unable to do

” H-Hall Master, please re-repeat what you said ?” Yang Baihu tried to speak clearly but was unable to due to his shock

” Yes, it is indeed a peak-grade pill, what about the rest??” Zhang Zhi informed as he shifted his head to check the other pills contained in the jade bottle

Plop Plop…

The rest of the pills fell from the Jade bottle on Hall Master Zhang’s palm as he tilted the unsealed bottle downwards

” Heavens, all 8 of them are Peak Grade pills, how is this possible??” Yang Baihu body shook as he raised the question

” Forget about Peak Grade Pills, how in the world did he concoct 8 pills from the limited amount of herbs that could only be used to form a single pill, much less 8 pills” Ning Chu asked everyone in shock

” Heh, is that really that great, I could even concoct more pills if you want”  Wang Ming casually said which caused the three men to receive an even greater shock

” W-What did you say?” Ning Chu asked in a trembling voice as he thought he had heard wrong

” My master taught me a technique that allows me to control multiple cauldrons at the same time, and from each Cauldron I can produce 8 pills but if you are going to ask me to teach you, I have to politely decline as my master made me promise not to teach anyone ” Wang Ming fabricated his master’s identity to avoid all the hassle and moreover he was not afraid of anyone trying to steal the technique from him as he had confidence in his strength

Then why the hell did he inform them about the technique if he wanted to avoid the hassle of dealing with people who would covet his technique, well he wanted to show off, quite the petty reason he has

Zhang Zhi, Ning Chu, and Yang Baihu were excited about the existence of such a technique  but later had downcast expressions when Wang Ming informed them that he was not willing to share them

” Can you tell  me the name of your master, he must be a very famous Alchemist??” Zhang Zhi asked with hopeful eyes thinking maybe he could find his master and learn the techniques directly from him one day

” I apologize, my master was a wandering Cultivator, and witnessing my talent in alchemy he decided to teach for a year before leaving, during that period he never once told me his name ” Wang Ming informed which caused Zhang Zhi to release a defeated sigh as he was not sure whether Wang Ming was telling the truth or not  as he had no way of confirming his words

‘ Sigh, I can understand why he is unwilling to teach such a precious technique to anyone, if I was in his place I would also not want to share this kind of technique with anyone either, and moreover it is not like anyone here has the strength to force him to give his technique’ Zhang Zhi thought with  disappointment in his eyes which did not go unnoticed by Wang Ming

” I see if that’s the case I won’t try to persuade you to share the technique with us” Zhang Zhi replied which caused Ning Chu and Yang Baihu to nod their heads in agreement, they also understood that no one could force Wang Ming to spill out his secrets and moreover they were not shameless enough to try to use force on a junior, that would hurt their pride as an Alchemist, some might resort to violence and force but they were not part of that group of greedy Alchemists

” Thank you for your understanding ” Wang Ming replied politely with a smile

” Congratulations Wang Ming for passing the Alchemy Examination at this very moment you are an official 2-star Alchemist” Zhang Zhi announced which caused Wang Ming to raise his eyebrows in surprise

” 2-star Alchemist? I thought this was an examination for becoming a 1-star Alchemist?” Wang Ming questioned Zhang Zhi

” Yes, normally if a Cultivator succeeded in passing the Alchemy assessment exam they would become a 1-star Alchemist but you are an exception, the condition to pass this round was to concoct a low-ranking pill with less than 95 percent impurity contained in the pill but you managed to concoct a Peak- Grade Pill which has no impurity in it, this is enough to promote you to a 2-star Alchemist but you even managed to concoct 8 peak-grade pills, if it was within my authority I would have promoted you to a 3-star Alchemist but unfortunately I am unable to do so, moreover if I did that every sect which focuses on the Dao of Alchemy would have been hell-bent on recruiting you into their sect, I am sure you do not want to deal with the hassle as you have no intention of joining an Alchemy sect, right?” Zhang Zhi asked with a mischievous smirk on his face

” You are correct” Wang Ming responded half-mindedly as he was trying to recover from the shock that he had turned into a 2-star Alchemist so easily

” Huh, you are not going to join an Alchemy Sect?” Ning Chu asked in shock as he knew if he joined an Alchemy sect they would pour all of their resources into nurturing him

” Oh, I forgot that you didn’t know” Yang Baihu said with a teasing smile

” Know what?” Ning Chu questioned in curiosity

” Wang Ming is a Dual Cultivator and he plans to join a Dual Cultivation sect” Yang Baihu informed with a shit-eating grin

” Damn, why can’t I be handsome like this bastard” Ning Chu clutched his chest comically as he gazed Wang Ming with envy and a hint of respect, Wang Ming’s eyes twitched when he saw Ning Chu’s drama

” Alright Wang Ming, drip a drop of your blood onto this token” Zhang Zhi instructed Wang Ming as he threw a Godlen token toward him which he caught with his hands

Wang Ming bit his thumb as blood started to leak out from the tip of his finger, he dropped his blood onto the token which caused it to shine upon contact for a brief moment

After the light emitting from the token had diminished, the text ‘ WANG MING, 2-STAR ALCHEMIST’ appeared on the token, the letters that were engraved on the token were black in color
