Chapter 11: Obey The Order!
Wang Shenyang gradually began to examine his Flood Dragon bloodline for any improvements. As he did so, he realized that in order to truly reach the late stage of Qi Gathering, he also needed to increase the purity of his bloodline.
He also noticed that overall purity had risen from 2.1% to 6.8%.
"HOW THE HELL IS THAT POSSIBLE?!"
Wang Shenyang yells as he is stunned by surprise.
He quickly clams down and organizes his thoughts in order to find out what had happened.
"OK, so this massive change had to have come from somewhere else, because a simple breakthrough would have only contributed 1% to 2%." he thought as his eyes wondered around till he remembered something.
"Oh, right, the blood jade amulet. The first time I used it, it sucked nearly all of my blood and qi, but I hadn't had the time to inspect my bloodline. I'm guessing it also contributed to the breakthrough."
Despite the fact that it had drained his energy, he realized that the blood jade amulet was beneficial for him; without it, he wouldn't have been able to increase my bloodline's purity.
With that in mind, he focused on cultivating and increasing his qi while trying to find ways to strengthen the blood jade amulet.
"I guess this is why the family prioritizes blood and qi cultivation, which is usually practiced by martial artists."
The blood jade amulet had allowed him to accelerate the purity of his bloodline's growth, which would have taken much longer if he had relied solely on self-cultivation.
He knew that it was extremely rare for ordinary people to obtain an object like the blood jade amulet, but he was grateful for having received it.
Deep in his heart, he repeatedly thanked his uncle, Wang Datian.
"It appears that I have neglected my alchemy practice as of late." Wang Shenyang thought to himself as he pulled a furnace from his storage bag.
Wang Shenyang was a talented alchemist who had taken after his grandfather, the 9th elder of the main family, Wang Youdao. Wang Youdao had taken a liking to Wang Shenyang, and ever since he was a child, his grandfather had provided him with the resources needed to hone his alchemical craft, Wang Shenyang had studied diligently, and his skill had improved immensely under his grandfather's tutelage.
With a deep breath, he began to set up the furnace and prepare his ingredients "I should practice making the XuanShui pill, which is extremely helpful in increasing cultivation speed for those with water spirit roots."
Gathering the necessary herbs, he put them in the furnace and set it to low heat He mixed the herbs and added his own spiritual energy to the concoction, carefully observing its progress and making adjustments as needed.
As the concoction got brighter, he gradually increased the heat to ensure that all of the herbs were fully extracted and added a few more adjustments to give it an extra boost Before long, the concoction reached a bright white color, and a strong medicinal aroma filled the air.
He spun the liquid concoction into one point and fused it into a pill.
He quickly removed the pill and inspected the quality it produced.

"The pill's purity is approximately 53%, which is considered quite good when compared to the most common ones on the market, which are usually around 40 to 50%."
He was pleased with himself.
He was satisfied with the result, but Wang Shenyang knew that even small improvements could be made in the process.
He decided to refine the process and began to make adjustments, such as changing the temperature and timing of production.
With some careful adjustments and a lot of experimentation, he was able to increase the purity of the pill to an impressive 60%.
He was thrilled with the improvement and felt confident that he could produce higher-quality products in a shorter period of time; this way, when it came time to send the family the monthly required pills, he would be able to indirectly show his talents to the elders so they would invest more resources into him.
With this in mind, Wang Shenyang was determined to take the process a step further. If he could become at least a Rank 1 high grade alchemist and master the ability to create pills of 70% purity or higher, then not only would he gain recognition from the family but also be able to start his own business.
With this goal in mind, Wang Shenyang was determined to take the process a step further.

Congratulations, the proficiency of Alchemy has reached the Rank 1 High-grade
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After seeing the notifcation from his attribute panel, he realized that he had become a Rank 1 high grade alchemist.
With this great achievement, he was now able to create pills of 70% purity or higher and gain recognition from the family.
With this goal in mind, Wang Shenyang was determined to take the process a step further, but as he was about to start with another batch, he found that he had used up all of the spiritual ingredients for the XuanShui pill.
"I guess I'll stop here for the time being; I'm already quite tired."
His sense of accomplishment was cut short as he realized that he had reached the limit of his current resources and was unable to continue.
Just as he was getting ready to speak out, his family's communication jade lit up.
Wang Shenyang quickly grabbed it and activated it with spiritual energy embued with Dragon Qi.
A loud voice came from the communication jade:
"Heed My Order, All Descendants of the Wang Family! This is your patriarch, Wang Zhenyan, and all members of the Shen generation are to report immediately to the main family's clan main island, Fallen Dragon Island, and head into the clan hall in Broken Dragon Mountain. All elders will be present; attendance is mandatory unless instructed otherwise."
"NOW OBEY THE ORDER WITHOUT DELAY!"
Wang Zhenyan's voice rang loud and clear in the communication jade, instilling a sense of urgency in his descendants.
Everyone heard the gravity in his voice as they hastened to comply with his command.
"What in the world could have happened for the patriarch to urgently call upon only members of the Shen generation?" Wang Shenyang had many questions, but he didn't have time to think about them as he exited the cave, drew his fastest flying sword, and dashed through the air towards Fallen Dragon Island.
