A Second Class Fourth Grade Pill!
It deeply shocked everyone. Even Master Gu Ye’s eyes revealed a look of disbelief.
He knew very well that Qin Yichen’s Spiritual Energy was still at the equivalence of Peak Martial Master Realm. It could be said that this was not much different from refining a Fourth Grade Ordinary Pill without condensing a Divine Soul Bead.
The gap between Martial Master and Martial Grandmaster was just that large. Yet, Qin Yichen had directly crossed this gap.
A Second Class Fourth Grade Pill was almost Master Gu Ye’s limit as well.
Although he could refine Third Grade Pills, he could not raise the grade. The reason, naturally, was that his Spiritual Energy attainment was too low.
If he wanted to refine such a High Grade Pill, he would have to expend a lot of effort.
But no matter how Gu Ye looked at it, he felt that Qin Yichen had refined it very easily…
Looking at Qin Yichen’s refreshed face, Gu Ye’s heart violently trembled. [He is truly a monster!]
Of course, no one knew that the main reason Qin Yichen could refine Fourth Grade Pills so easily was that small Pill Furnace.
Although the small Pill Furnace had not been fully repaired, it already had the effect of amplifying Spiritual Energy.
“Heavens, is he still Human!?”
Countless people exclaimed in amazement. At this moment, they found that any words used to describe the shock in their hearts seemed too pale.
They did not know how Qin Yichen had done it. But they knew that after today, this youth before them would become famous throughout the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty!
Qin Yichen stood with his hands behind his back on the blue stone high platform. Facing the overwhelming praise, there was not a hint of self-satisfaction on his face, as if all this had little to do with him.
He even seemed somewhat dissatisfied with the Pill.
If his Spiritual Energy was not still this weak, even a Fifth Grade Pill would have been effortless for him.
Not proud, not impatient, unmoved by honour or disgrace. This perfectly embodied him.
Seeing Qin Yichen so calm, the Royal City Alchemy Guild personnel standing in front of him took a deep breath, calming his excited emotions.
“May I ask what kind of Pill this is and what effects it has?” Although he could sense that this Pill was not an ordinary one, the personnel could not appraise its condition in a short time, so he asked.
However, perhaps even he did not realise that his tone towards this youth before him was unusually respectful and polite, almost the same as when addressing Master Gu Ye.
With his question, the scene strangely quieted down.
Obviously, they all wanted to know if this youth had created another extraordinary Pill.
Qin Yichen rubbed his nose bridge and said, “Actually, it’s not a big deal. I call this Pill the Hunger Suppression Pill.”
After all, the medicinal herbs were limited. Moreover, he believed that the other participants probably did not consider the issue of effects at all. It would have been good enough for them just to successfully refine a Pill.
“The Hunger Suppression Pill, taking one can prevent hunger for a month.”
Qin Yichen went on to explain the medicinal effects.
The Hunger Suppression Pill, at first glance, did not seem to have much use for cultivation.
But for people like Lu Heze, or some mercenaries who venture out for years, they immediately understood the value of this type of Pill.
Not being hungry for a month was extremely important for adventuring mercenaries or armies on the march. This meant that with the Hunger Suppression Pill, whether adventuring mercenaries or marching armies, they wouldn’t need to carry a lot of food or gnaw on tasteless and coarse dry rations all day.
It was actually a Pill with special effects!
And it was an unprecedented type of Pill.
In other words, in such a short time, Qin Yichen had not only refined a Second Class Fourth Grade Pill, but also created a new type of Pill!
This shock was not just as simple as one plus one equals two.
Instantly, the glory of all the champions of this competition and even past competitions was overshadowed.
At this point, the remaining few Alchemy Masters, besides being shocked, also felt somewhat helpless.
Clearly, this was an insurmountable mountain.
And Wang Muyu and that young Alchemy Master from the Brilliant Martial Country, their faces turned gloomy and dark.
Although they were extremely self-confident, they understood that a Second Class Fourth Grade Pill was already far beyond their refining limit.
Moreover, to refine these mere twenty kinds of medicinal herbs into a Pill with effects was even more difficult.
If Qin Yichen had refined just a waste Pill, they might still have tried.
But now, there was no chance at all.
In the end, only two Alchemy Masters refined Pills to attract the attention of some forces in the Heavenly Unicorn Royal City. The other Alchemy Masters didn’t even have the intention to start refining.
“Damn fellow, where did this freak come from? How come we’ve never heard of such a character in the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty before?!”
The young Alchemy Master from the Brilliant Martial Country cursed inwardly, also not intending to refine anything.
For him, if he couldn’t get the championship, everything was meaningless.
On the high platform, Master Gu Ye slightly narrowed his eyes, but anyone could see the undisguisable joy on his face.
At this moment, Lu Heze no longer took Lu Heshang’s words as a joke or jest.
If there really was a chance to recruit this peerless Alchemy Prodigy, paying a small price would be acceptable.
A moment later, Gu Ye’s gaze swept across the venue again, and he slowly said, “A Second Class Fourth Grade Pill, this is the highest level Pill refined since the establishment of our Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty’s Alchemy Competition. Looking at this, I think everyone has no objections to the final result?”
“Then, I announce that the champion of this Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty Alchemy Competition is…”
“Wait a moment!”
Just as Gu Ye was about to announce the result, a sharp, piercing voice rang out.
Interrupted in his speech, Gu Ye’s brows furrowed slightly, but seeing that the speaker was that Alchemy Master from the Brilliant Martial Country, he could not suppress his displeasure and coldly asked, “What else do you have to say?”
“I don’t believe he can really refine a Second Class Fourth Grade Pill. I want to check it myself!” The Alchemy Master from the Brilliant Martial Country pointed at Qin Yichen and shouted loudly with bloodshot eyes.
If he returned as a loser, who knows how much disdain he would face in his country.
“You should know the rules of the Alchemy Competition, right? You have no right to check!” Gu Ye coldly refused him. [Do you really think the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty is your backyard?]
