C18 Shock

After the Ling Family's discussion was over, Ling Feiyang did not stay any longer. He walked out of the main hall and headed towards his own small courtyard.

Just as he was about to enter the small courtyard, he heard a loud 'bang'.

Although the voices were loud, no one else came forward because everyone from the Ling Family was immersed in the crisis.

"Tianyu is back?"

Ling Feiyang muttered to himself and quickly headed towards the courtyard. This was because other than Ling Tianyu and himself, there was no one else in the courtyard.

Just as he entered the small courtyard, a strong burnt smell assaulted his nostrils, mixed with a faint medicinal fragrance, which caused Ling Feiyang to be puzzled.

When he pushed open the door, he saw a scene of utter devastation.

The room was a mess, filled with black smoke, the floor was a mess, and fragments of pill furnaces could be seen everywhere.

Ling Tianyu was seated on the floor. There were many holes in his clothes that had been burned by the Pill Fire. His face and hair were dyed black, and he looked like a miner who had crawled out of a coal kiln.

Even so, his face was still filled with excitement as he clenched his fist tightly.

"Tianyu, are you alright? Are you destroying the house?"

Ling Feiyang quickly ran over to help Ling Tianyu up. Seeing that Ling Tianyu was fine, he finally relaxed and joked around.

"No, I'm concocting pills. I accidentally blew up the furnace."

"What?" "Pill refining, do you know how difficult it is to refine. The explosion of the pill furnace is no small matter, and some pill refiners even threw their lives into it."

Ling Feiyang reproached, but in his heart, he still cared about Ling Tianyu's safety.

"Dad, it's okay, I'm not like a kid who can play around. Moreover, concocting pills can also increase your cultivation."

Ling Tianyu grinned. His pure-white teeth and black face looked as though he was from Africa.

"Increase in cultivation base? Who told you that? Eh …" Wait, you are actually at the 9th level of the Body Refinement Realm? "

Ling Feiyang stood up in shock. He stared at Ling Tianyu as though he had discovered a new continent.

After how much time had passed, he actually advanced from the eighth level of the Refinement Realm to the ninth level of the Refinement Realm. As the Ling Family's number one expert, Ling Hao had been stuck at the eighth level of the Refinement Realm for several months now.

"That's right, I had been concocting pills here for three days. If it wasn't for a breakthrough, I wouldn't have blown up the cauldron either." Ling Tianyu explained.

"Hmph. Even so, you still need to think for your safety. The people who concoct pills are not even one in a million. In the future, you should focus on martial cultivation."

Ling Feiyang snorted coldly. Everything that was dangerous for his son must be stopped.

"But, I have already become an alchemist." Ling Tianyu said in a low voice and gradually loosened his grip on his fist.

"Tianyu, how can becoming an alchemist be so easy …" "We …"

As Ling Feiyang spoke bitterly, he suddenly noticed Ling Tianyu's slightly opened right hand and froze on the spot.

In Ling Tianyu's palm were five thumb-sized, grey pills.

"Blood Replenishing Pill?"

Ling Feiyang cried out in shock. His family was in the pill business, so how could he not be familiar with these pills? He quickly took one and carefully observed it.

"It's even a Medial Grade Spirit Pill. This …." You made this? "

This time, Ling Feiyang could not remain calm. If Ling Tianyu was capable of refining medium-grade pills, then wouldn't the Ling family's crisis be easily resolved?

Looking at his father's agitated expression, Ling Tianyu blinked his eyes and nodded, "Indeed. Furthermore, this batch of pills will yield five pills, and there will be two mid-tier pills. According to the records, I am now a Tier 1 Pill Refiner."

Other than the ranks of the apothecaries, apothecaries were divided into three ranks: grandmaster apothecary, apothecary, and apothecary.

However, one could deduce the strength of an apothecary of the same level just by looking at the number of pills formed.

According to the records of the Primordius Pill Formula, the maximum number for a batch of pills is nine. Furthermore, nine pills are not necessarily of high quality, nor are they all of medium quality. This mainly depends on the mental strength of the alchemist.

For example, Gu Yun. Even though he was a pill master, he could only produce four pills in a single batch. There were only two mid-tier pills and the other two were low-tier pills.

This time, Ling Tianyu had refined five pills. Among them, two were mid-tier and three were low-tier. From this, it could be seen that Ling Tianyu's cultivation level was higher than Gu Yun's.

Other than the control of one's Soul Depth, pill forging also requires one to be proficient in crafting skills. Thus, as long as enough time passes, Ling Tianyu's pill forging skills will rise to a whole new level.

"What?" Five of them? You... Is that true? "

Ling Feiyang did not dare to believe it. He carefully examined the five pellets, and his heart was like a magnificent army that had thousands of men and horses flowing through it. He was extremely shocked.

Alchemy master, this kind of accomplishment, was considered number one in Chu Yuncheng, yet it actually appeared in his Ling family.

"En, if it wasn't for my breakthrough at the last moment, then these five pills would all be mid-tier pills."

Ling Tianyu was unrelenting in his speech, causing Ling Fei to stare at him as if he was a monster.

"Dad, is there something on my face?"

Seeing Ling Feiyang looking at him in such a manner, Ling Tianyu asked with a smile.

"There are no flowers, but this black lacquer looks much better than the flowers." Ling Feiyang laughed loudly, then said, "Quickly go and wash up. I'll bring you to see the master."

A huge stone in Ling Feiyang's heart finally fell to the ground. With the Ling Family having Ling Tianyu, he believed that they would definitely be able to resolve this crisis.

An hour later, the two of them were walking towards Ling Zhengnan's residence. On the way, Ling Feiyang recounted the entire Ling Family's crisis from start to finish. This made Ling Tianyu extremely furious.

"Father, what did you say?" The Song and Yang Families jointly hired an alchemist master to suppress our Ling Family's business? "

"Yes, I heard that Gu Yun is also the disciple of Everlasting City's second-grade alchemy master, Xiao He." Ling Feiyang sighed helplessly. After all, Xiao He's name was too resounding.

"Master Xiao He has an extremely good reputation. Why would he allow his disciple to help the evil?" Ling Tianyu analyzed that everyone knew Xiao He's name and his reputation.

He was strict with his disciples and would definitely not allow them to make profits in private.

"I think that Grandmaster Xiao He is unaware of the arrival of that Guyun, and furthermore, he doesn't know the character of this disciple of his."

Ling Tianyu spoke again. Ling Feiyang also nodded his head and said, "Trees are like shadows and people are like names. Even if you're right, we don't dare to act rashly.

"Alright, I understand."

Ling Tianyu nodded. Even though he had said so, there was a bottom line to everything he did. If he were to exceed this bottom line, the hare would bite him furiously.

The two of them walked quickly and soon arrived at Ling Zhengnan's room. The lights were still on inside the room, and the person inside looked extremely haggard.

Ling Feiyang lightly knocked on the door.

"Come in."

A dispirited voice sounded out from inside as Ling Feiyang pushed open the door and entered with Ling Tianyu.

"It's all of you!"

Ling Zhengnan looked up at the two of them and started to think again.

The dignified first generation Patriarch was now in such low spirits. There was no trace of his former dignity.

"Second brother, our Ling Family has hope."

Ling Feiyang said quickly.

This made Ling Zhengnan raise his head, and look at Ling Feiyang in confusion. He quickly asked, "You thought of a way?

Ling Feiyang nodded and pointed at Ling Tianyu, saying, "It's Tianyu. He can help our Ling Family survive this crisis."

"Him?" Ling Zhengnan was surprised. He sized up Ling Tianyu and found that he had cultivated to the ninth level of the Body Refinement Realm. He smiled bitterly, "Big brother, since Tianyu was able to reach the ninth level in such a short time, his talent is definitely top-notch. However, to survive the crisis of the Ling Family, it is still not enough."

"Number two, don't underestimate Tianyu. This kid is a secretive person, he actually became a Tier 1 Pill Refiner."

As Ling Feiyang spoke, he took out the five pills Ling Tianyu had refined.

"What?" Tianyu is a grade-1 apothecary master? " Ling Zhengnan looked as surprised as if it was Ling Feiyang's first time hearing about this.

His gaze quickly shifted to the five pills, and a bright light shone in his eyes.

"This was forged by Tianyu?"

"That's right." Ling Feiyang nodded, then explained the matter to the Dragon Martial Veins.

This made Ling Zhengnan excited, but at the same time, he felt that it was too unbelievable.

Ling Tianyu was a person who did not have any Martial Veins in the past. Yet, he had now become an extreme genius who dual cultivated in the alchemy. If this news were to spread out, wouldn't the area within a few hundred miles be in chaos?
