C104

It was already late into the night. Ten pills were already out of the cauldron.

One high-grade one, five mid-grade ones, one low-grade one, two failures.

This result could be said to be astonishing. While Chen Yao was definitely the number one alchemist of several hundred years, he was actually very unhappy.

You have to do the best you can.

"I don't believe it."

This time, Chen Yao directly put in twenty portions of the original ingredients needed to concoct the Face Preserving Pill.

As the True Fire activated the Shen Nong Cauldron, the medicinal fragrance gradually wafted out from within the Shen Nong Cauldron and the smell became increasingly stronger.

"Now is the time. Release the pills."

With a thought from Chen Yao, the True Fire immediately dispersed and seventeen pills floated in the air.

This time, ten of them were of high quality, five of medium quality, two of low quality, and three of them had failed.

This kind of result could be recorded in the history of pill refining.

Even if the president of the Apothecary Guild were to forge a Face Preserving Pill at the same time, the success rate and quality of this pill wouldn't be as high as Chen Yao's.

I don't believe it.

Another 20 sets of ingredients for the Face Preserving Pill entered the cauldron.

It was already the latter half of the night when the pills came out. Nineteen of them had formed, fifteen of them were of high quality, four of them were of medium quality, and there was no lower quality. There was only one failure.

Chen Yao's expression finally eased up. However, there was still a trace of inadequacy.

He placed another 20 Face Preserving Pill raw materials into the cauldron.

It was already morning when the pill was released.

All of the pills were formed.

Ten of them were of high quality, while ten of them were of medium quality.

The joy on Chen Yao's face deepened. Finally, all the pills had been refined.

Chen Yao did not stop refining pills because he knew that only the Face Preserving Pill would be so valuable today. After today, it would be almost impossible to sell the Face Preserving Pill at such a high price.

"..."

At noon in the Sword City's Ten Thousand Medicines Store.

"Manager Li, that kid hasn't come yet?"

In the back hall of the Ten Thousand Medicinal House, Tang Mei wore a mask on her face as she spoke to Manager Li with an anxious and unkind tone.

Tang Mei was very beautiful and seductive. She was willing to show others her glorious side, but right now she was wearing a veil, meaning that something was wrong with her body. Her originally bright and tender face had a wrinkle, this was the sign of aging and sickness, so she used a veil to cover her face.

Manager Li said, "Young master, I checked that youth, he's called Chen Yao, and his reputation in the sword faction is very strong recently. Rumor has it that he received the legacy of the sage from the sword faction, and has the ability to fight those above his rank.

As for alchemy, I seem to have received the guidance of a sixth rank mysterious female alchemist from Chang An City, the capital of the imperial city. However, it is said that his alchemy time was not long ago, and he could only concoct a first or second grade alchemy, so concocting a third grade alchemy is no different from a dream.

"But his competitive spirit is strong, I understand. I think he just wants to give it a try himself, which is why he said he has a relative of the Senior Alchemist. I think it's better for Young Master to give him up and lower his head to Chairman Tang."

Hearing Manager Li's words, Tang Mei couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.

However, he said with a firm tone, "Even if I die of old age, I will definitely not make him lower his head. I want to marry into the Imperial Palace. In my dreams."

"Alright, I'm going to manage today's auction."

Tang Mei's mood was obviously extremely bad. She shook her sleeves and quickly left the Ten Thousand Medicinal House. She walked towards the auction as if she had eaten explosives.

Manager Li sighed, but he was helpless. He could only organize his medicine.

At that moment, a thin figure suddenly walked in through the door.

"Chen Yao?"

Manager Li was astonished when he saw Chen Yao in the Ten Thousand Medicinal House. According to his conjecture, if Chen Yao hadn't refined a Tier 3 Face Preserving Pill, he should have been hiding in the sword sect and wouldn't have dared to enter the Sword City again.

Chen Yao was able to concoct a grade-3 pill?

No, absolutely not. Based on our intelligence reports, Chen Yao had only been in contact with the female pharmacist for at most two years. How could he have managed to concoct a grade-3 pill in just two years? Impossible.

If he knew that Chen Yao had concocted the Face Preserving Pill in batches after less than two months, he might have died from shock.

However, Chen Yao frowned.

Among other things, that was because Manager Li had called out his name.

It seemed like they had secretly investigated him. This made Chen Yao a little unhappy, but it was understandable. The Myriad Treasures Store would never engage in a business where one would lose money. It was normal for them to investigate his background.

However, this made Chen Yao somewhat unhappy. They must have found out that he had not been concocting pills for very long, and they felt that he would not be able to concoct the Face Preserving Pill.

Thinking of this, Chen Yao's face darkened. Holding his head, he gloomily said to Manager Li.

"Shopkeeper, there's a problem with that senior of mine. What should we do?"

Manager Li revealed an expression that was as expected, then he said somewhat angrily, "Without the diamond, you don't need to take care of the porcelain. You will be in trouble if you delay my Young Miss's condition."

Chen Yao was very unhappy, but he did not flare up. He pretended to be innocent and said sadly, "The lesson of the shopkeeper is, however, I now have a defective product in my possession. I wonder if it will be of help to Miss Tang Mei?"

Chen Yao spread open his hands. In them he held a slightly flawed Face Preserving Pill. Although it was a terrible loss, it was still considered to be a success. Its potency was about half that of a normal Face Preserving Pill.

Upon seeing this defective product, Manager Li was slightly surprised. He knew that Chen Yao didn't have any so-called senior who would help him refine pills. They were all refined by Chen Yao.

If Chen Yao had started concocting pills two years ago, he would be able to produce this kind of medicinal herb with some innate ability.

However, he was still full of disdain.

Perhaps Chen Yao was already at the level of a second rank apothecary. With a hundred sets of original ingredients for the Face Preserving Pill, even a blind cat would be able to make a wrong move and create a defective pill.

At first, he wanted to give the Face Preserving Pill to Tang Mei, but Manager Li thought that if the defective pill didn't have any medicinal properties, Tang Mei would go crazy and get scolded by him.

"My young lady went to the auction house and came with me. She personally gave her the medicine and I'll also take you to see the world. Today, the auction house has a sword of high-grade earth-step flying sword to auction, so as a sword cultivator, I'll let you broaden your horizons."

How could Chen Yao not know Manager Li's thoughts?

However, she nodded her head in agreement.

However, he was thinking about how he would screw over the Spirit Stones of the Myriad Treasures Store in the future.
