Chapter 130: Chapter 129: Genius! A Replacement!

Not only here, but in the previous lives of Ouyang Yun, such situations in various professions were also abundant.

Ouyang Yun picked up the booklet and browsed through it word by word.

Some of the knowledge was inaccurately written; as a former Sixth-Grade Alchemist, Ouyang Yun easily noticed some discrepancies.

But these are not important; what matters is the pill formula attached in the last few pages.

A very common First Grade Qi Gathering Pill formula, many versions of this formula have circulated, but few can actually refine it.

To be honest, Qi Gathering Pills aren’t that easy to refine; even Ouyang Yun in his previous life did not rely on Qi Gathering Pills to step into the realm of First-Grade Alchemist.

From this, it can be seen the ’secret manual’ author’s perfunctory.

However, this is the effect that Ouyang Yun wants.

Otherwise, how can he showcase his genius?

Beside him is a small cauldron and some herbs, and these were brought to him by his father, Ouyang Changqing.

The talents displayed in two lives are different, and Ouyang Changqing naturally treats him differently.

Ouyang Yun waved his hand, the small cauldron flew over, spiritual thread coordinated with True Essence, expertly sorting and guiding the herbs.

Ouyang Yun extended his hand, the surrounding Spiritual Qi poured into the Spiritual Qi orbit, fusing with True Essence, a cluster of flames ignited.

Ouyang Yun’s face remained calm as he reached for the herbs…

…………

“Yun’er, why did you call your grandmother here?” An elderly woman with silver hair, leaning on a cane, walked into the room.

Ouyang Yun rose and respectfully made a bow.

“Replying to grandmother, Yun’er followed the steps in the secret manual brought by father and refined a batch of pills. I feel the wonders of the Alchemy Dao and wish to refine more…”

Before Ouyang Yun finished speaking, Ouyang Ruyu’s eyes sparkled with light, abruptly gazing at the conspicuous small cauldron on the ground.

The cauldron lid lifted, revealing three Qi Gathering Pills with not very good appearances, surrounded by quite a bit of residue.

It can be seen that the alchemist refining the Qi Gathering Pill might be somewhat lacking in skill…

But… what if this so-called alchemist never systematically learned and merely copied from a casually bought secret manual, following it to the letter to refine it like this?

Ouyang Ruyu looked at these three pills, seemingly not reacting yet.

Alchemists are very rare.

The current pill supply of the Ouyang Family comes from a Fourth-Grade Alchemist.

Since that alchemist came to the Ouyang Family, they were almost treated as a Supreme Emperor.

Except for the pills of two Foundation Establishment Powerhouses, other pills are refined by the disciples of this Fourth-Grade Alchemist.

Even Ouyang Ruyu, a Qi Refining Perfection Cultivator, has to smile in front of those First and Second Grade Alchemists.

Now suddenly told that an eight-year-old child in the family casually refined a First-grade Pill?

And it’s the most common yet urgently needed Qi Gathering Pill!

Ouyang Ruyu’s complexion suddenly turned somewhat rosy.

“Come! I will take you to see the Patriarch!”

“Grandmother, grandmother!”

Ouyang Yun’s behavior was just like an eight-year-old child.

In the Cultivation Realm, the matter of seizing and rebirth does exist. Although conditions are harsh, it’s not impossible.

But with Ouyang Yun’s insight, he can be sure his soul was also reborn, a new soul, not the old soul that endured two hundred and sixty years of trials.

However, Ouyang Yun feared someone might discover his Pure Yang Body, which is an excellent Furnace Body Physique.

And some people wouldn’t mind if the furnace is of a different gender for the sake of cultivation.

[Your refined Qi Gathering Pills astonished the high ranks of the Ouyang Family, both the Patriarch and the secluded old Patriarch appeared to inspect your alchemy technique.]

Fire ceased, cauldron descended, pill formed.

Fatigue was evident on Ouyang Yun’s face.

While the shock was evident on the faces of the elders present.

They certainly aren’t naïve bumpkins; they understand what such an accomplishment represents.

“Quick, go and invite Master Li!”

The old Patriarch’s appearance was aged, hair already white, with over two hundred years of age.

But at this moment, the old Patriarch seemed revitalized, shouting loudly.

The old Patriarch’s words broke the silence.

All the high ranks then became active.

Master Li is the Fourth-Grade Alchemist venerated by the Ouyang Family.

Ouyang Yun met this man in his previous life; he was an old generation alchemist and one of those whom Ouyang Yun used as a stepping stone.

Ouyang Yun has a slight impression of this person.

Average qualifications, and his character is like any other alchemist – proud and aloof.

If not for his Fourth-Grade Alchemist status, Ouyang Yun wouldn’t even remember him.

What is an alchemist’s character? Not lacking money, others still respect alchemists; naturally, their character is aloof and proud.

And now, the surprised expression was evident on Master Li’s face as he looked at the pills Jiang Ming had refined.

“This… this technique…” Master Li’s hand trembled slightly.

Ordinary matters, even if a family perished, an ancient relic emerged, or a lucky person gained an opportunity, these events don’t affect him, only matters related to the Alchemy Dao have a significant impact.

The disciple following Master Li had eyes almost popping.

How long did they spend refining Qi Gathering Pills? Ten years? Twenty years?

How long did this young one spend?

“Impossible! Absolutely impossible!”

The little disciple immediately chimed in.

He certainly doesn’t believe this youth appearing to be in his teens could refine Qi Gathering Pills; he’s entered the realm of First-Grade Alchemist for thirteen years already and still lacks progress in refining Qi Gathering Pills.

“Silence!” Master Li held the pill.

“Flaws…there are flaws, a novice’s technique…only…”

Ouyang Yun wore a confused expression, like any ordinary child.

But in Ouyang Yun’s mind, there was a calm; even the Longevity Pavilion’s person couldn’t discern Ouyang Yun’s deliberate technique.

No matter how one examines the pill, it looks like it was refined by a novice in alchemy.

First time refining Qi Gathering Pills makes one an unprecedented genius, but refining perfect Qi Gathering Pills on the first try marks one as a problematic demon.

Ouyang Yun refined numerous Qi Gathering Pills in his previous life, handling each detail meticulously, even alchemists with higher alchemy cultivation like Seventh-Grade Alchemist couldn’t detect flaws, simply because details are only these.

“Child, how old are you?”

“Replying to the elder, this child is eight years old…”

“Eight years old… an unprecedented genius!” Master Li murmured.

“Master Li, how is this child’s qualification? Is it possible he might interest you, accepting him as a disciple?” The Patriarch immediately stepped forward.

“Disciple… How can an old man have such qualifications… This child is a genius in alchemy beyond belief!” Master Li smiled bitterly.

The old Patriarch and the Patriarch looked at each other, a bit excited.

“Ruyu, don’t you have a connection with Master Yunding…why not…”

Ouyang Yun suddenly interrupted, asking: “May I ask the Patriarch, is this Master Yunding the foremost in alchemy?”

The Patriarch furrowed his brow, saying: “It seems… he’s not; Master Yunding is just the vice president of the Alchemist Association…”

“If I were to choose a mentor, naturally I’d choose the strongest!” Ouyang Yun lifted his head abruptly, with a gleam of essence in his eyes.

This time, Jie Fangtao has yet to join the Longevity Pavilion.

He wants… to replace him!
