The Infinite Mystery

Elder Mo and Elder Yuan observed the Supreme Grade Spirit Manifestation Pill for quite a while but failed to find what they wanted to.

Both of them sighed before looking at Qin Feng. Elder Mo said, "How did you concoct these three Supreme Pills?"

Qin Feng didn't speak anything. He only smiled at the old man.

Elder Mo didn't rush him. They waited for him to answer. Only after one minute did Qin Feng speak, "Actually, It's not some sort of secret. All you need to do is to perfectly draw out the essences from all the spirit herbs and then fuse them together without wasting even a tiny bit of them before starting to separate them again to give them the shape of pills. Of course, you need to have absolute control over your Pill Fire and know when to increase and decrease the temperature."

"It's all common knowledge in alchemy. All you need to do is to practice more. There is no special method to concoct Supreme Grade Pills. Alchemy is all about Pill Dao. As long as you delve yourselves deeply in Pill Dao and practice hard without searching for any shortcut to achieve success, you might also be able to concoct Supreme Grade Pills."

When Qin Feng completed his last sentence, it was not only Elder Mo and Elder Yuan but almost all the people present in the hall lowered their heads in shame.

All of them were thinking about how Qin Feng concocted the Supreme Grade Pills? Was it just his luck or did he use some special method to achieve success? If he has some special method, they wanted to hear it from Qin Feng, and the more they wanted him to share that special method with them.

Elder Mo and Elder Yuan were especially ashamed of their behavior.

Both of them were accepted by the same master at the age of 13 after their master saw their talent in alchemy. From the age of 13, both of them started their life as Alchemy Apprentice and started learning Pill Dao. They spent more than three-fourth of their lives concocting pills and tried their best to learn and teach as much as possible. They always did their best to find new formulas and methods to refine pills, They spent nights awake in search of new discoveries so that they could improve their mastery of alchemy and comprehend more of Pill Dao.

But when they come to know that Qin Feng, a young man who was only eighteen years old, has not only concocted three Rank 7 Spirit Manifestation Pills but all of them were also Supreme Grade Pills, they were tempted. They wanted to know how Qin Feng achieved something like this at such a young age.

Although they didn't believe that it was Qin Feng's luck, it doesn't mean that they believed Qin Feng was able to concoct three Supreme Grade Pills because of his talent in alchemy.

They thought that Qin Feng must have used some sort of trick or secret technique that let him concoct Supreme Grade Spirit Manifestation Pills.

Thinking of this, they could not help but be tempted. They also wanted Qin Feng to reveal the secret of successfully concocting Supreme Grade Pills. They also wanted him to hand over the secret technique to them.

Of course, they also had a plan if Qin Feng refused to hand over the secret technique. They wanted to use the name of Alchemise Association and the fact that his secret technique could help the Alchemist Association take a step forward in Pill Dao and there might be some people who could also enter the Heaven Rank and start refining Rank 8, Rank 9, and Rank 10 pills. If that really happened, the five continents could once again give birth to Great Soul Realm martial warriors. There might be the birth of legendary Heavenly Soul Realm martial warriors that had vanished from the surface of Profound Star Continent a hundred thousand years ago after the fight between all the brave warriors of the Profound Star Continent and the alien demonic beast Fire-winged Heavenly Sparrow.

Although this was shameless, they knew that the higher-ups of the Alchemist Association will definitely support them. After all, a secret technique that could allow an alchemist to concoct the Supreme Grade Pills without limit was never heard of, and if such a technique really exists, it can bring a huge breakthrough in the path of alchemy to the world.

But after hearing Qin Feng's words, they realized their mistake. They knew they were already about to divert from the true path of alchemy. They knew if they were to really take action against Qin Feng, it would have been a big humiliation to the Pill Dao.

They also understand that there was no shortcut in any Path, then be it the Path of Alchemy or the Path of Martial Arts.

Elder Mo and Elder Yuan looked at Qin Feng with ashamed faces. Elder Yuan said, "Qin Feng, don't take us wrong. We only wanted to learn if we could anything from you. After all, although you are so young, your achievement in alchemy is far above any Earth Rank alchemists, including us."

Qin Feng smiled and nodded his head in understanding, not showing even a tiny bit of contempt in his eyes. Although he knew what they were thinking in their minds before, he didn't open his mouth. He didn't want to embarrass both old men in front of so many people in the hall.

"Qin Feng, although you have already passed, you still have to wait for others to complete their test. Only after that can we go through the process and give you your alchemist badge." Elder Mo said Qin Feng with a smile on his face.

"I understand, I'll wait!" Qin Feng replied.

After that, he started to wait. While he was waiting, Elder Mo and Elder Yuan started talking about Pill Dao with Qin Feng.

After talking for a while, Qin Feng also came to about many things. One of those things was very important for him.

From Elder Mo, he came to know that there was a way to cross the vast sea and go to the other side of the Profound Star Continent, the land that was broken and separated from the Five Regions after the great fight between humans and Fire-winged Heavenly Sparrow a hundred thousand years ago.

The vast sea was not without danger. It is said that even Late Stage Pure Soul Realm martial warriors could not cross the vast sea. Only after breaking through to the Great Soul Realm could they cross the vast sea and go to the land on the other side of the sea, but it doesn't mean that they

Elder Mo told Qin Feng that six months later, there'll be an opportunity to cross the vast sea and go to the other side.

Elder Mo didn't tell him how, but he did tell him to come back after six months to the Alchemist Association.

Very soon, everyone completed their test. More than half of them failed. Including Qin Feng, there were only four people who passed the test and advanced to the Upper Grade Earth Rank Alchemists.

Very soon, Qin Feng got his alchemist badge which represented his identity as the Upper Grade Earth rank Alchemist.

It was also the time when Qin Feng once again encountered Mo Ruyan. He came to know that she has also passed the test and become the Mid-Grade Earth rank Alchemist.

Qin Feng didn't think too much.

Although it was surprising for a girl below 25 to become the Earth Rank Alchemist not to mention Mid-Grade Earth Rank, what does it has to do with Qin Feng?

After completing his goal, Qin Feng left the Alchemist Association.

.....

Somewhere in the north, inside a dense forest, a young girl was running at full speed. It was as if she was escaping from someone.

Well, she really was escaping. The people chasing after her were dressed in full black clothes. There was a sword at their waists and a chain in their hands. From time to time, they would throw out the chains wanting to capture the girls but the girl somehow manage to dodge the chains every time and move forward.

The chains they were holding in their hands were not as simple as some iron chains that were used to bind someone or something. These chains were behaving like snakes. They were pouncing at the girl of their own volition.

If Qin Feng was here, he could have recognized the girl who was escaping non-stop from the clutches of these men in black.

She was Fan Feng Yi, the girl from the Hidden Orchid Pure Land whom Qin Feng met at the Cold Winter Small Conference.

After parting with Qin Feng, she went to the Hidden Orchid Pure Land before leaving for the Central Region to the Fan Family with her cousin Fan Xiaoruo.
