Chapter 117 Ninth-Rank Alchemist
"A mid-stage one-star Dou Sheng, not bad, not bad!"
Xiao Feng looked at Yao Chen in front of him and praised him, a smile finally appearing on his face.
Yao Chen was originally a veteran Dou Zun powerhouse. In the original novel, the corpse that Xiao Yan prepared for him was only that of a four-star Dou Zun. The only special thing was that it contained the arm of half a Dou Sheng corpse. Even so, after Yao Chen was successfully resurrected, he successfully crossed the Dou Zun realm and became a half-saint powerhouse.
Now, Xiao Feng had prepared a complete Dou Sheng corpse for him! Coupled with all the perfect treasures, it wasn't surprising that Yao Chen could break through to the One-Star Dou Sheng realm; at least, Xiao Feng wasn't surprised. If Yao Chen hadn't broken through to the Dou Sheng realm, he would have had many more thoughts.
Hearing Xiao Feng's praise, Yao Chen also showed a proud smile. Who could have imagined that he, who once only had a wisp of soul power left, would not only be resurrected but also have a strength far exceeding his previous self, reaching the Dou Sheng realm!
"Reporting to the clan leader, I have not yet fully absorbed the energy contained within this body. I believe that once I have fully absorbed and refined it, my strength will surely break through once again."
"Alright, for the next period of time, you will be responsible for adapting to this body. There are many Battle Saints in the clan. You can go and ask them for advice and spar with each other. This will also speed up the process of mastering the body and allow you to adapt to your rapidly increasing strength more quickly."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Seeing that Yao Chen was completely familiar with his identity, Xiao Feng didn't say anything more. This was the best outcome!
"Now that you've broken through to the Dou Sheng realm, are you confident in refining ninth-grade pills? Medicine Saint?" Xiao Fengren teased.
That's right, it's the Medicine Saint. When Yao Chen was still a Dou Zun, he was respectfully called the Medicine Venerable by the world. Now that he has broken through to the Dou Sheng realm, this title naturally needs to be changed.
Hearing Xiao Feng's teasing words, Yao Chen said very modestly, "Clan leader, you flatter me. Not only has my strength improved, but my alchemist rank has also broken through. I am confident that I can try to refine a ninth-grade pill!"
"It's just that I've never refined a ninth-grade pill before. Even though I've reached the level of a ninth-grade alchemist, I can't refine a real ninth-grade pill in a short time." As if worried that he had spoken too confidently, Yao Chen said some rather disappointing things.
However, Xiao Feng was overjoyed by his previous words, so he didn't mind and continued, "Alright, after you have fully adapted to this body, go to the Alchemy Hall to take up your post. Your specific position will be the Supreme Elder of the Alchemy Hall. Just tell the servants to do anything you need."
"Thank you, Clan Chief! Yao Chen will certainly live up to your expectations!" Yao Chen bowed and said excitedly.
You should know that he has only felt that his alchemy skills have made some progress, but he has never actually refined a ninth-grade pill. Therefore, he will inevitably damage and waste a lot of medicinal materials at the beginning. Without exception, the medicinal materials for refining a ninth-grade pill are extremely precious, and it is no exaggeration to say that they are priceless.
Xiao Feng's words not only established his position in the alchemy hall, but also meant that he could freely consume these medicinal herbs to hone his alchemy skills!
While alchemy is a highly prestigious profession, it is also an extremely expensive one, far beyond the reach of most people. It's important to understand that alchemists not only spend gold coins on medicinal herbs, but also incur enormous costs for formulas, cauldrons, and the necessary fire.
Especially in the early stages of alchemy, it's all about piling up various medicinal herbs. Even if Yao Chen had become a ninth-grade alchemist without Xiao Feng, acquiring medicinal herbs to hone his skills would have been extremely difficult. Just collecting them would have consumed countless resources and taken a long time, and even then, finding them wouldn't be guaranteed. But now, Xiao Feng has solved all these problems with a single, casual remark!
Xiao Feng had his reasons for doing this; even if Yao Chen hadn't said those words before, he would have done the same.
However, regardless of Yao Chen's purpose in saying those words—whether it was to ask for help or to be humble—it moved and excited Yao Chen when Xiao Feng announced his decision!
Yao Chen has now broken through to the ninth-grade alchemist level. His strength and status are vastly different from before, and the pills he refines can still have a certain effect on Xiao Feng even now.
Upon reaching the ninth-grade alchemist realm, it is no longer divided into early, middle, and late stages like the previous realms. Instead, it is divided into three levels: ninth-grade precious pill, ninth-grade profound pill, and ninth-grade golden pill. Among them, the golden pill is the highest, followed by the profound pill, and the precious pill is the lowest.
As for the ninth-grade alchemists that Xiao Feng already knows, there are only about twenty of them. The top-level alchemists are those who can refine the ninth-grade Xuan Dan, followed by the ninth-grade Bao Dan. As for the ninth-grade Jin Dan, Xiao Feng does not know who can refine it at present.
Yao Chen is now a confirmed ninth-grade pill refiner. All he lacks is some training. However, he is among the top pill refiners in the top 20. How could Xiao Feng not take him seriously?
"Well done, keep up the good work! I hope that when we meet again, you will be able to refine a ninth-grade precious pill. I hope you won't disappoint me!" Xiao Feng gently patted Yao Chen's shoulder, and then flashed away.
After a long while, Yao Chen breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that Xiao Feng had completely left. The tense expression on his face gradually relaxed. It was only then that he realized that his back was soaked with sweat!
After breaking through his strength, he tried to probe Xiao Feng's strength, but each time it was like a fish sinking into the sea, without any reaction. As his strength increased, he understood more and more how terrifying Xiao Feng was. It was precisely because of this that he was so afraid and nervous in front of Xiao Feng, to the point that he didn't even realize that his back was soaked with sweat.
He looked bitter as to Xiao Feng's request, but despite this, he was actually quite confident. He could now be considered a near-ninth-grade alchemist. The only thing he lacked was experience in refining ninth-grade precious pills. With the strong support of the Xiao clan, he believed he would soon be able to overcome this hurdle and reach the point where he could independently refine ninth-grade precious pills!
