Chapter 256 (Luxury Car Extra - )
"You... you people..." Cecilia grew even more anxious and frustrated, she simply didn’t know how to win a shouting match.
"Alright, it’s fine, they’ll be eating their words very soon!" A hand gently pressed down on her shoulder, and the warm, reassuring voice of her Young Master rang out.
"Young Master!" Cecilia looked at him, her face full of distress.
"It’s fine, just sit back and watch your Young Master perform." Adam smiled faintly, looking at the ever-growing crowd, he figured the audience was finally large enough.
Very quickly, someone delivered the necessary materials for the competition to both Adam and Carlos.
The crowd continued to swell, even from within the Rosy Cloud Pill Pavilion, quite a few elders came out to watch the spectacle.
In front of Adam and Carlos, two tables were set up, entirely covered with a wide assortment of medicinal herbs.
The task for both of them was to refine the Fifth-Tier Heavenly Spirit Pill, a pill renowned for its exceptional healing properties.
Adam remained calm and composed, leisurely picking out the ingredients he needed, meanwhile, Carlos meticulously inspected all his medicinal herbs over and over before finally feeling assured enough to begin.
As a Fifth-Tier Alchemist, refining a Fifth-Tier pill was as easy as catching a turtle in a jar for him, it could even be considered a waste of his talents.
But Adam was different, he was just an unknown nobody attempting to refine a Fifth-Tier pill for the first time, let’s see how he makes a fool of himself.
Under the watchful eyes of the massive crowd, Adam began to methodically refine his pill, his techniques were unbelievably masterful, as if he had refined this exact pill countless times before.
The entire process flowed like moving clouds and flowing water, without a single trace of hesitation.
Watching Adam’s techniques, a flash of genuine astonishment crossed Carlos’s eyes, he had thought Adam was just a nobody, he never expected his alchemy skills to be this outstanding.
The surrounding audience was equally dumbfounded.
They thought Adam was here to cause trouble, yet his techniques actually looked even more profound and refined than Carlos’s.
Time trickled by, a full half-hour later, the refinement process for both of them gradually approached its final stages, looking at the two cauldrons, the crowd erupted into heated discussions once more, even though they didn’t recognize Adam, his flawless techniques had left everyone in awe.
"Who exactly is this scrawny kid? His alchemy skills are actually this brilliant!"
"Yeah, I’ve never seen him before either, could he be a wandering alchemist from another region?"
"His refinement techniques are truly incredible, I’ve never seen anyone refine with such flawless proficiency."
"So what if his techniques are proficient? That doesn’t guarantee the final quality of the condensed pill!"
"Exactly! This guy is definitely going to be trampled underfoot by Alchemist Carlos!"
At this moment, Carlos looked over at Adam, a trace of confusion flashing in his eyes, he felt that Adam’s techniques were incredibly familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere before.
"Where did you learn your alchemy techniques from?" Carlos couldn’t help but ask.
Adam smiled faintly but didn’t answer, instead, he swept his gaze over the surrounding audience, he knew his desired goal had already been achieved, now, he just had to wait for business to come knocking.
BOOM! A muffled rumble echoed as the pill cauldron in front of Carlos suddenly radiated a deep, mystical glow, while an intoxicating medicinal fragrance instantly permeated the air.
"The Heavenly Spirit Pill is complete!"
"It’s Pill Radiance! The pill Alchemist Carlos refined this time is highly likely to be Superior Grade!"
"Nobody fight me for this! I’m pre-ordering this entire batch right now!"
"On what grounds?! I want them too!"
The surroundings instantly erupted into chaotic frenzy, everyone looking at Carlos with immense astonishment.
A Superior Grade Spirit Pill, this was incredibly difficult to achieve, every single one could be sold for an astronomical price.
The corners of Carlos’s mouth curled up, he had overperformed this time.
How could I possibly fail to crush Adam now?
The two guards were also trembling with excitement.
We’re going to win this bet! Even if Adam knew how to refine pills, he was still just a fool offering up free treasures!
"Mine is done too."
Adam’s calm, indifferent voice rang out.
Instantly, the other pill cauldron violently erupted with a dazzling, resplendent radiance, a glow so intensely brilliant that it blinded everyone’s eyes.
The next instant, everyone was blinded by the sudden brilliance, unable to open their eyes.
Everyone was endlessly shocked.
What just happened? What was with this terrifying radiance?
Almost simultaneously, an astonishing fragrance drilled into everyone’s noses, this pill fragrance was absolute perfection.
Everyone couldn’t help but start taking deep breaths.
A few moments later, the brilliant light finally dissipated, but the fragrance lingered.
When they reopened their eyes, every single one of them was dumbfounded, a chorus of sharp gasps echoed all around them.
Hovering right above that ordinary pill cauldron were nine pills radiating a mystical medicinal glow.
"This... this is a Heaven-Grade Spirit Pill! To think it’s actually a Heaven-Grade Spirit Pill! This is a tier that almost no one can refine nowadays!" Up on a balcony inside the Rosy Cloud Pill Pavilion, an elder nearly tumbled over the railing, his eyes looked as if he had witnessed the most unbelievable thing in the world.
Refined pills were generally categorized into Low-Grade, Mid-Grade, High-Grade, and Supreme-Grade.
Low-Grade was usable, mid-Grade was already considered very good, high-Grade pills were incredibly precious and far beyond what ordinary people could afford.
Supreme-Grade pills were exceedingly scarce.
But above the Supreme-Grade, there existed the Heaven-Grade.
Heaven-Grade pills possessed an extremely unique rule, no matter how many medicinal ingredients were thrown into the cauldron, in the end, only exactly nine pills would be formed.
A Heaven-Grade pill had completely surpassed the realm of ordinary medicine, sometimes even developing faint traces of sentience.
Just as this thought crossed the elder’s mind, the nine pills hovering above the cauldron began to quiver, looking as if they were about to flee entirely.
"!!!"
"You... you actually refined a Heaven-Grade Heavenly Spirit Pill!" Carlos’s face was filled with sheer terror.
