He Was Actually About to Succeed!

As steam rose from the alchemy furnace, everyone's attention was drawn towards it.

Their faces were filled with shock and disbelief.

Zhou Yun was actually about to succeed!

They did not expect that his crude alchemy technique could actually refine pills. Everyone was very puzzled.

The Grand Elder was also confused, but he did not think too much about it.

Perhaps this was the way to successfully refine a perfect-grade pill?

Perhaps his careful methods had all been for naught?

He shook his head and focused his attention back on the alchemy furnace.

Other pills would usually emit some medicinal fragrance. This was the wasted medicinal power of the pills.

Due to the emitted fragrance, the medicinal strength of the pills would often deteriorate greatly after a period of time.

On the other hand, the method of producing perfect-grade pills was completely different from that of other pills. The effects of the two were also as different as heaven and earth.

Due to the nature of perfect-grade pills, the medicinal power was completely sealed in.

Therefore, there was no smell of medicine at all.

There were usually several ways to distinguish a perfect-grade pill.

The first way was to smell it. The second was to see its color and shape. The third was to taste its medicinal properties.

A pill could be considered perfect if it did not have any medicinal fragrance, had a bright color and was without blemishes.

With a burst of steam, the fire under the alchemy furnace gradually extinguished.

Zhou Yun stepped forward and opened the lid of the furnace. The moment he opened it, another red mist was released. It was hot and Zhou Yun had no choice but to retreat.

The figure of an old man flickered and appeared in front of him, blocking the heat wave. The former reached out and took out the pills from the furnace.

When Zhou Yun saw this scene, he was slightly shocked. The heat wave that was emitted from the furnace was something that he could not withstand.

If he were to put his hand into the furnace, his entire arm would probably melt in the process.

However, the Grand Elder directly reached in and took out the pills.

The heat didn't seem to affect him at all.

...

The Grand Elder was the first to rush up, followed by the sect leader of Spirit Valley, Ling Qingyun.

There was an inquisitive look in his eyes. I clearly wanted to ask if the pills were perfect.

The crowd also slowly approached the alchemy furnace.

The elder on the stage stared at the pills in his hand and his voice trembled slightly as he said, "There's no leakage of medicinal power at all. Their color is perfect, and they are flawless. They are indeed perfect-grade pills!"

Hearing the Grand Elder's words, everyone present was petrified once again.

Although they had already mentally prepared themselves, they still could not suppress the shock in their hearts when they heard the Grand Elder confirm that Zhou Yun had refined perfect-grade pills.

When they thought about it, the previous 12 perfect-grade pills were also concocted by Zhou Yun.

Not only did Zhou Yun succeed in refining perfect-grade pills, he even managed to do so consecutively.

Those who had experience in alchemy all looked at Zhou Yun with admiration.

Only they knew how difficult it was to succeed twice in a row.

Even if they were refining ordinary pills, they could not guarantee success every time.

Usually, an alchemist needed to rest for a few days after refining once. They would only continue after readjusting their mental state.

However, Zhou Yun managed to successfully concoct pills twice in a day. Moreover, he produced two batches of perfect-grade pills.

If this scene had not occurred before them and they had not witnessed the entire process with their own eyes, they would not have believed it.

"Well done, boy!" Sir Pill applauded. He couldn't contain his excitement and smacked Zhou Yun on the shoulder.

Smack!

Zhou Yun immediately heard the sound of his arm being dislocated.

He cursed internally, "It's okay to be excited. But why did you smack me? Don't you know your own strength?"

After he finished complaining, he silently grabbed his arm and pushed it back into its socket.

Sir Pill was so ecstatic that he couldn't even speak coherently.

How could he not be thrilled when a once-in-ten-thousand-years genius appeared in the sect?

A genius who could refine perfect-grade pills was a monster.

In the entire immortal cultivation world, such geniuses were very rare. Perhaps the sect could use Zhou Yun to escape their current predicament and reach a higher level.

Furthermore, he could also exchange pointers with Zhou Yun.

If it wasn't for the fact that he needed to keep up appearances in front of everyone, he would have already pulled Zhou Yun away.

With Zhou Yun by his side, he would not feel bored even if he did not go out for 100 years.

In all honesty, refining pills was never boring. It was so much fun.

Sir Pill was so certain that Zhou Yun shared the same sentiment. He had no doubts about this.

His eyes glowed as he looked at Zhou Yun with a feverish expression.

Zhou Yun looked into Sir Pill's eyes and felt a shiver down his spine.

At this moment, everyone had gathered around. Their eyes filled with extreme excitement.

Even some of the junior sisters' eyes were filled with amazement. They kept throwing flirtatious looks at Zhou Yun, trying to attract his attention.

With an ongoing resource shortage, having an alchemist as a boyfriend was advantageous.

Moreover, Zhou Yun was an alchemist who could refine perfect-grade pills.

A girl with such a boyfriend would be very popular no matter where she went.

When the ladies thought of this, they quickly went up to Zhou Yun, hoping that he would notice them.

In an instant, Zhou Yun was surrounded by different fragrances.

"Brother Zhou Yun, you're really amazing!"

"They didn't believe you just now. Only I have always believed in you."

A crisp voice rang out, and Zhou Yun felt a weight on his shoulder. Then, he felt a soft and smooth sensation from his arm. It brought with it waves of fragrance.

He lowered his head and saw Qiao'er hanging onto him like a koala bear.

"Yes, I've always believed in Qiao'er too!"

Zhou Yun was afraid that Qiao'er would lose her balance, so he reached out and held her slender waist.

Her waist was so thin that Zhou Yun could wrap his entire arm around her.

Feeling Zhou Yun's movements, Qiao'er slowly blushed all the way down to her neck.

Qin Xiu's eyes widened unconsciously when he saw this scene. He glared at Zhou Yun and gritted his teeth so hard that his gums bled.

He no longer cared if Zhou Yun had managed to refine perfect-grade pills.

He just couldn't figure out why Qiao'er liked Zhou Yun so much.

Why had Qiao'er put her trust in Zhou Yun from the very beginning?

Seeing the person he liked in someone else's arms, Qin Xiu felt very indignant. He only wanted to duel Zhou Yun to the death.

Su Wanyi looked at Zhou Yun, who was surrounded by people, and began to question her life.

After listening to what her junior brothers had told her, she had believed that Zhou Yun would fail. However, to her surprise, Zhou Yun actually refined some perfect-grade pills with such a crude method.

After pondering for a moment, she sighed softly.

She concluded, "It seems like Zhou Yun can't be judged by common sense!"
