Divine War Pill Emperor

A strange scene unfolded in the plaza of the Alchemy Master Guild.

Only Jiang Chen and Xiao Gu were performing alchemy.

But at this moment, everyone’s gazes were fixed on Jiang Chen, as if his alchemy possessed an endless magic that made it impossible for them to look away.

Some Alchemists even had breakthroughs in their Alchemy Skill just by watching him work.

Techniques they had long struggled with were suddenly and miraculously understood.

’Steward Jiang’s Alchemy Skill is terrifying.’

’I’m actually gaining insights into the Alchemy Skill just by watching him!’

’It’s just too incredible. Not only is Steward Jiang’s Alchemy Skill outstanding, but it seems to be filled with a kind of principle, a fundamental law.’

’I’ve gained so much from just watching for a short while.’

Many people cried out in their hearts in astonishment.

Previously, everyone had thought Jiang Chen was certain to lose his competition against Xiao Gu.

That he would end up committing suicide.

But the Jiang Chen before them now was demonstrating a truly terrifying Alchemy Skill.

It resonated with every single person watching, helping them find their own path.

Even Master Qin was no exception.

He was profoundly shaken by Jiang Chen.

’This kid’s Alchemy Skill is simply divine. If so, just how incredible must his master be?’

The thought was terrifying. Master Qin couldn’t even begin to imagine how powerful Jiang Chen’s master might be.

An Alchemist capable of teaching a disciple like Jiang Chen might not even exist in the Three Great Empires.

As for Yuan Sheng and the others, who had been left speechless by Jiang Chen’s questions earlier...

At first, they had been brimming with confidence, thinking their master, Xiao Gu, was guaranteed to win.

But the more they watched, the more they realized that Jiang Chen’s Alchemy Skill wasn’t just a notch above their master’s.

It was leagues better.

Their master, Xiao Gu, had taught them for over a decade, but just now, while watching Jiang Chen perform alchemy, they realized that what Xiao Gu had taught them was far too crude.

It couldn’t compare to Jiang Chen’s Alchemy Skill at all.

It even made them want to take Jiang Chen as their master.

Once this thought appeared, it grew uncontrollably.

Yuan Sheng was horrified by his own thoughts.

For no reason, the idea of taking Jiang Chen as his master had just popped into his head.

No, it was a decision he’d made after seeing Jiang Chen’s Alchemy Skill.

If an Alchemist could study under a master with such brilliant Alchemy Skill, they would benefit for a lifetime.

Although this thought felt like a betrayal of his own school, Yuan Sheng felt it was worth it.

Looking at Xiao Gu, he already felt deeply ashamed of his own inadequacy in the face of Jiang Chen’s Alchemy Skill.

His old face was ashen, his mind was in turmoil, and he had already made several mistakes in his alchemy.

’The Blood Creation Pill... even if I’m just warming up, I can still crush you like an ant.’

Jiang Chen was someone who could refine Purple Gold Quality Elixirs.

Competing against Xiao Gu now, he felt absolutely no pressure.

This was true even though he had to divert his focus to control the True Sun Fire.

After all, the power of the True Sun Fire was immense. If he hadn’t dedicated part of his mind to controlling it, it would have long since returned to the sun.

Even under such circumstances, Jiang Chen remained as steady as ever.

Under the heat of the True Sun Fire, the Blood Creation Pill gradually took shape.

At a certain moment...

BUZZ...

The Pill Furnace trembled, and a unique fragrance wafted out from within.

"Hm?"

Everyone present instantly caught a whiff of a fragrance—the medicinal aroma of the Blood Creation Pill.

The moment this scent appeared, it swept through the entire plaza, causing a stir in the crowd.

’What a pure medicinal aroma! It seems to be from the elixir Steward Jiang is refining.’

’Heavens! That aroma is overwhelming! An elixir like this must be at least Silver Quality.’

Everyone’s opinion of Jiang Chen had changed.

In their eyes, Jiang Chen had now reached a very high status.

Some of those who had gained insights from watching his alchemy even felt a sense of gratitude toward him.

SWISH SWISH SWISH...

Jiang Chen controlled the Pill Furnace as if it could fly, spinning it constantly to ensure the True Sun Fire heated it evenly.

The medicinal aroma grew richer and richer.

Finally, after some time...

His movements came to an abrupt halt.

As his movements stopped, everyone’s gazes froze, locking onto him.

Jiang Chen was seen beckoning to the Pill Furnace.

"Collect!"

He gently uttered a single word.

Collecting the pills. That’s right, the elixir refinement was a success, so Jiang Chen began to collect the pills—the final step of alchemy.

WHOOSH!

Three streaks of golden light shot out from the Pill Furnace.

They flew straight toward Jiang Chen.

HISS...

The crowd was in an uproar once again.

Many people had been staring at Jiang Chen for a while now.

Now, they saw golden light fly from his Pill Furnace—three streaks of it.

One by one, they gasped in shock.

’Look, golden light!’

’Unbelievable! Golden light! That means Steward Jiang has refined a Golden Quality Elixir!’

’How is that possible? Gold Quality... Not even Chairman Qin can refine Gold Quality Elixirs, can he?’

That was right. In the entire Alchemy Master Guild, not even Master Qin could refine Gold Quality Elixirs; the best he could manage was Silver Quality.

A Golden Quality Elixir was an insurmountable hurdle for Master Qin.

Sure enough, the next moment, the three streaks of golden light landed in Jiang Chen’s hand and solidified, revealing three Gold Quality Blood Creation Pills.

Pure Gold Quality.

Jiang Chen hadn’t wanted to be so high-profile, but his standards for himself were just too high.

He didn’t want to waste an opportunity to practice alchemy.

So he went ahead and refined them to Gold Quality.

Although he was confident he could refine them to Purple Gold Quality, he absolutely couldn’t do that.

Otherwise, he would expose his identity.

It would do him no good.

The master he had fabricated would become meaningless.

’They’re really Gold Quality Blood Creation Pills.’

’Heavens! Gold Quality Elixirs! Steward Jiang refined three of them at once! That’s batch refinement!’

An ordinary Alchemist would be lucky to successfully refine a single elixir, let alone perform batch refinement, which required an extremely high level of skill.

Alchemy Skill was paramount.

Watching Jiang Chen refine three whole Gold Quality Blood Creation Pills...

A wave of sharp gasps swept through the area.

Holding the pills, Jiang Chen looked over at the flustered Xiao Gu.

He had succeeded so quickly and perfectly.

Xiao Gu, however, was still progressing slowly. Even if he succeeded, it would still take him at least two more hours.

He was far behind Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen had only taken about ten minutes.

His efficiency was terrifyingly high.

WHOOSH!

Just as Jiang Chen collected the pills, he could no longer control the True Sun Fire.

The True Sun Fire vanished in a flash, automatically returning to the sun.

This caused Jiang Chen’s face to pale slightly.

But he quickly recovered.

With that, it was all over.

Only Xiao Gu remained. The moment he saw that Jiang Chen had finished his refinement—and with a Golden Quality Elixir at that...

His mind collapsed.

Because even if he spent his entire life trying, Xiao Gu lacked the ability to refine a Gold Quality Elixir. He could barely manage a Silver Quality elixir, and even then, it would be of very low purity.

Jiang Chen’s perfect performance, in particular, had sent him into a panic.

He could no longer control his Pill Furnace perfectly.

BZZZZ...

The Pill Furnace began to vibrate violently.

Master Qin called out a reminder, "Elder Xiao, you must stabilize your mind during alchemy."

His words had just fallen when—

BOOM!

With a deafening bang, the Pill Furnace in front of Xiao Gu roared and the Alchemy Materials inside exploded.

The furnace exploded. Xiao Gu’s furnace had exploded.
