Supreme-grade Pills

Senior Ye was also amazed at the grade of the pills Yun Shu made.

It was incredible that the young man could grasp the first four levels of Yin and Yang in his first attempt. This boy is indeed extraordinary. Ye thought so to himself.

However, after the initial joy faded away, Yun Shu started to become unsatisfied with his progress.

"Earlier, I made a couple of mistakes…" murmured Yun Shu.

Meanwhile, he threw more ingredients into the furnace without the slightest hesitation and started his second round of concoction.

Seeing that, Ye shook his head and smiled. "Boy, you need to remain patient and take one step at a time. You've come to understand the fourth level of Yin and Yang, which is already quite good. I'm afraid that it will cost you a year or so to reach the next level."

Yun Shu didn't respond to Senior Ye's words, just silently staring at the furnace in front of him.

Senior Ye shook his head. "Well, youngsters tend to be reckless, aiming for heavens in a single bound. Let him fall once so that he can understand!" Ye murmured to himself.

On the other side, Yun Shu had totally devoted himself to refining his second set of pills. With the prior experience to learn from, the process turned out to be much smoother this time.

Within an hour, the second batch of pills was ready.

After Yun Shu pulled back his Spirit Qi, Senior Ye said with a smile, "My technique is the best pill concoction method in this world. Don't get too ambitious, young man—"

However, Yun Shu had already opened the lid before Senior Ye finished his comment.

"Huh?!" Staring at the furnace and the twenty pills inside, Senior Ye swallowed back the rest of the words.

All of the twenty pills were Fine-grade!

Yun Shu had made another breakthrough in his skill of refining pills!

Senior Ye became speechless. The success rate proved that Yun Shu had come to understand the fifth level of Yin and Yang. How did he do that?

However, that still didn't satisfy Yun Shu.

That was because Yun Shu knew that there were still mistakes during the process. He believed that he had clearly understood the sixth level of Yin and Yang, but he didn't do a good enough job. He didn't want to stop.

"I'll attempt once more! And this time… I'll try this!" he muttered to himself. After putting the ingredients into the furnace, Yun Shu used his golden pupils.

Because of the angle, Ye couldn't see Yun Shu's eyes. But the moment Yun Shu opened his golden pupils, he instantly felt the difference in Yun Shu's Qi.

Ye wondered if the boy would surprise him again. Yun Shu grasping the fourth level of Yin and Yang at his first attempt was already a satisfying outcome for Senior Ye. But now, he had apparently mastered the fifth level.

The rapid progress shocked Senior Ye.

And it seemed that Yun Shu was going to further challenge himself!

This made him both nervous and excited!

Many years ago, it took Senior Ye three whole years to grasp the sixth level of Yin and Yang. He wondered if Yun Shu was going to be able to comprehend it in a few hours.

At this time, Yun Shu's golden pupils stared at the furnace without blinking as his Spirit Qi kept circulating in the furnace smoothly.

The Nine Yin-Yang Refining Scripture emphasized the combination of Yin and Yang and the formation of a cycle of chaos.

At the same time, there were more Yin and Yang revolutions within the bigger cycle, compelling it to continuously flow, just like the gears in a machine.

The cycles were connected and intertwined with each other, so it was increasingly difficult to decipher the next level.

For someone who didn't understand the principles, simply looking at the process of refining pills would be more than confusing. But once the person could get the hang of it, the rules that were seemingly complicated would become so simple and easy.

Right now, as if Yun Shu was doing a landscape painting, there was no panic at all. Instead, there was a sense of beauty in it.

Bound to the Nine-dragon Pillar, Ye closed his eyes to feel the Yin and Yang flow in the furnace, and his heart kept feating fast.

That's right! It's indeed the sixth level of Yin and Yang. Senior Ye was amazed at how well Yun Shu could control his Spirit Qi. In fact, the youngster's mastery of the Spirit Qi was no way inferior to Senior Ye's. He was deeply impressed once again. Yun Shu was like a box of surprises.

But Ye didn't get too excited.

After all, mastering the sixth level of Yin and Yang didn't necessarily mean that Supreme-grade pills could be made!

Half an hour later.

Buzz!

The fire below the furnace faded away. Yun Shu released a long sigh of relief and closed his golden pupils.

"Open it. Let's see what you accomplished!" Senior Ye said to Yun Shu.

Yun Shu nodded, slightly panting. He believed that this time, he had done it perfectly without any mistakes. That was the best he could do currently.

But he was still unsure of the result.

Yun Shu reached out his hand and carefully opened the lid.

Hum!

Clang!

A ray of sunglow surged out of the furnace, like a charging dragon.

"This…" Yun Shu suddenly froze. He had never seen this before. However, Senior Ye immediately laughed out loud.

"Boy, you did it!" Senior Ye chuckled. The look on his face was complex, though.

Within a few hours, Yun Shu reached the level that had taken Senior Ye many long years—a total of three, to be exact.

It was true that he was a pioneer, and it was more difficult for him to start from scratch. But even Senior Ye himself did not have the confidence to learn the Nine Yin-Yang Refining Scripture in such a short time.

On the other side, Yun Shu did not have so many considerations. He simply took the pills out of the furnace after the slight daze. This time, there were only fifteen pills produced.

Among the fifteen, there were twelve Fine-grade pills.

The rest of the three were covered in a colorful halo.

These were Supreme-grade pills!

"There are fewer pills, but they are more effective! One Supreme pill is even better than five Fine ones. There are even more benefits, but you'll have to find out yourself," Senior Ye said with a smile.

Staring at the Supreme pills on his palm, Yun Shu was also exuberant. He had been studying alchemy for some time now. But before today, he had never produced any Supreme pills.

Now, he finally got what he wanted!

"Thank you so much! This is all because of your great teaching!" Yun Shu bowed to Senior Ye.

Senior Ye knew that it wasn't because of his teaching method at all. In fact, he only went through the steps for Yun Shu once. He wondered which idiot in the sect decided to send this genius here.
