JSCMU-Chapter 75: Another Perfect Grade

Wait a minute!

They did come here to watch a pill refining exam, right?

As far as they knew, when alchemists refine pills, they must pay attention to the furnace at all times, fearing even the slightest error.

But this time?

Forget about them, even the alchemist herself didn’t seem to care at all!

That was already surprising enough, but the pill furnace and the pills were obedient and well-behaved, not causing the slightest hint of trouble.

In the past, they would have thought it was unscientific.

But now, they were even tempted to ask if this pill furnace is for sale?

Is there enough stock?

Has the price been negotiated down for the family?

After reminding everyone that this was still a pill refining exam, Yun Jin started the second half of sales and performances.

For the whole four hours, Yun Jin remained lively from morning to night. She discovered that the Emotion Points gained from selling products was no less than those gained from manifesting divine phenomena.

The reason was very simple.

Emotions encompass more than shock.

Excitement and joy are emotions too.

Stimulated by discounted goods and clever sales talk, the emotions of the crowd remained at an all time high, all of which counted toward Yun Jin, making her a big profit.

Yun Jin was very happy.

The merchants were also very happy.

Yue Zhao was even happier.

The consumers were also very happy.

The only one who seemed a little unhappy was Ming Heng?

Ming Heng kept pondering one question.

As a mere third-rank alchemist, had he truly earned the “honor” of becoming a disgrace in this profession?

From now on, this little girl would hold a sales event every time she took an alchemy assessment.

And what if she even thanked him, saying he paved the way for her?

Then he really wouldn’t be able to live it down!

“Happy times always feel short.” Finally, as the end approached, Yun Jin regretfully said, “Tonight, we became a family, but now we must part ways.”

Her voice turned fierce and strong, “But! Everyone, don’t be sad! What comes next is the real highlight! Will the Foundation Establishment Pill reach perfect quality? Let’s find out together!”

“At this important moment, I want to especially thank Master Ming!” Yun Jin said emotionally, “When I was still a novice in alchemy, it was Master Ming’s discerning eye that gave me the opportunity to show what I could do. At this important moment, I would like to invite Master Ming to witness it with me.”

Yun Jin looked at Ming Heng with sincere anticipation, “Master Ming, please come on stage.”

Ming Heng: “…”

He felt a bit ashamed.

After all, he was supposed to be a cold and mysterious alchemist.

He also felt a bit conflicted.

After all, it seemed like the “family” really wanted him to come up.

He then felt a bit excited.

If this batch of pills really achieves perfect-quality, it could stir up a huge storm in the alchemy world!

And he.

Would have the chance to be the first to witness it.

Should he go up?

Or not?

By the time Ming Heng came back to his senses, he was already standing beside Yun Jin.

“Master Ming, this time, I absolutely won’t let you down,” Yun Jin said confidently as she stepped forward.

Ming Heng couldn’t help tensing up slightly.

Perfect-quality?

Success or failure?

The answer is right here.

The thought barely crossed his mind when Ming Heng felt a wave of helplessness.

He thought he was still being rational, but he had long been influenced by Yun Jin.

Under normal circumstances, being able to refine an ordinary-quality pill was already pretty good in this exam.

But after all of Yun Jin’s repeated buildup, he now felt like anything short of perfect-quality would be a failure.

That kind of thinking is no good, it must be stopped!

Ming Heng tried to lower his expectations.

Regardless of quality, if this girl can succeed, she’s already an exceptional alchemy prodigy.

Besides, she once again modified the pill formula.

Foundation Establishment Pills have always been the most frequently consumed pill in the cultivation world. Every sect stockpiles it in large quantities.

Yun Jin’s new recipe cut out nearly half of the ingredients. If it could be popularized, who knew how many medicinal herbs the cultivation world could save every year?

So, can it really succeed?

The shoppers, who had been high on retail therapy, also calmed down.

They remembered they came today to watch a pill refining assessment?

This is the true highlight.

Lin Ya and Si Wanning had bought a pile of food to snack on, but at this moment, neither of them could spare a thought to eat. Their eyes were locked on Yun Jin, not blinking once.

The crowd held its breath.

On the other hand,Yun Jin was extremely calm. She walked forward and directly lifted the lid.

Just like that?

A gasp of surprise echoed through the crowd.

In the next moment.

From within the pill furnace, a familiar golden light erupted!

The golden light soared into the sky, and once again, a pill phantom rotated within the light.

And this time.

The pill bore two pill patterns, the symbol of a second-grade pill.

“Per… perfect quality?!”

Someone cried out in shock.

Then, like rippling waves, the excitement spread through the crowd layer by layer.

Yun Jin’s Emotional Points also stacked up layer by layer, making her laugh uncontrollably.

Once the golden light faded, the Foundation Establishment Pill was complete.

Yun Jin personally retrieved the pill.

As expected, the Foundation Establishment Pill shimmered with a dreamlike transparency.

Ming Heng’s lips trembled.

Four days.

Only four days.

First she refined a perfect-quality Biling Pill, and now she had refined a perfect-quality Foundation Establishment Pill, directly skipping two levels!

Even in the Holy Lands, a fifteen-year-old second-rank alchemist is not unheard of.

But rising from first to second rank in just four days is unprecedented!

Ming Heng knew perfectly well that four days ago this girl was still in Qi Refining Stage.

In those few days she broke through to Foundation Establishment and mastered the refining method for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Such talent…

I’m afraid even Xuandan Sect would be tempted!

Ming Heng suddenly grew anxious.

When Yun Jin refined her first pill, it was only a first-grade Biling Pill, and he wasn’t certain she could repeat such a miracle, so he did not report it.

But now!

How could he not report this!

With her talent, even if the Holy Lands did not intervene, the major alchemy sects would go mad trying to recruit her!

His own sect was one of the top alchemy sects, while the sects around this market were at best mid-ranked.

If his senior fellows arrived in time, they would have a very good chance to secure this peerless genius!

“One furnace yielded ten Foundation Establishment Pills, all a success,” Yun Jin smiled. “These pills were refined under the joint witness of my family members, and my family members also share this achievement. Therefore, I have decided to sell these pills right here on the spot.”

“Ten pills, divided into ten bottles, one pill per bottle. As a token of gratitude, each bottle only costs one superior-grade spirit stone! Supply is limited; we will draw lots to select ten people. If anyone chosen does not wish to purchase, we will redraw.”

Yun Jin snapped her fingers, and ten Firefly Beasts appeared in the air. The Firefly Beasts fluttered above the crowd, each casting a beam of light down onto someone below.

As the Firefly Beasts danced, the beam of light changed constantly.

Yun Jin spoke passionately, “Those chosen by the beam of light will be the ten who earn the right to buy.”

This was the legendary random draw?

So thrilling?

The crowd looked up at the fluttering Firefly Beasts, unable to resist granting Yun Jin more Emotion Points.
