The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 43 Pill Aurora
Jiu Shen inspected the ingredients and furrowed his brows in dissatisfaction. “What kind of trash is this? I could barely concoct the Perfect State Refreshing Meridian Pill with this.” He muttered with a frown.
A pill is divided into six states depending on its efficacy: Low State, Medium State, High State, Peak State, Perfect State, and Profound State.
Master Fengzi and the other alchemists fell silent after hearing Jiu Shen's words. All the materials they had were all maintained with great care, so how could it be a low-tier material?
“Son, stop your shameless arrogance and just admit that you are a clown! Don't mess around here in our Alchemy Hall and go back to the circus where you were supposed to be!” An old man growled while pointing at Jiu Shen. What is Perfect State Pill? Even concocting a Perfect State grade 1 pill was already as difficult as ascending to heaven for people like them. Even Master Fengzi could sometimes only concoct pills of such a level.
Master Fengzi coldly smiled as he glanced at Jiu Shen. ‘This kid really knows how to boast. Concocting the Perfect Class 8 Refreshing Meridian Pill? Cute..’
Jiu Shen glanced at the old man who was shouting at him. His deep and unfathomable eyes flashed with a deep glint, causing the old alchemist to feel a bone-chilling coldness that made him tremble in fear.
– Ding!
– Special Missions Activated!
– Host, as the future God of Wine, how can you let this human mock your heavenly presence? Show them how the Wine God made his own pills! A reward will be given for completing this particular mission!
Jiu Shen suddenly heard a serious, robot-like system sound ringing inside his head. Furthermore, he felt that there was a hint of anger in that solemnity.
With an aloof facial expression, he elegantly waved his right hand causing the sleeves of his robe to flutter gently. His actions caused everyone in the room to be shocked, but then they saw the charred cauldron in the middle of the room hovering towards Jiu Shen as if it had heard his call.
Master Fengzi's eyes widened in shock. It was his own quality, so how could it be used by others? He even dripped his own blood on it to mark himself as its owner.
Jiu Shen ignored their astonished gazes and gently slapped the charred cauldron, causing its blackened surface to return to its original state.
The cauldron trembled and swayed in the air as if expressing his happiness.
The scene left everyone amazed. Cleaning the cauldron can actually be done this way? Both of them looked cool and incredible, leaving everyone a little speechless.
Jiu Shen flicked his finger and produced a small wisp of black flame that caused the room temperature to rise many times over. In fact, it caused everyone to feel an underlying fear.
Jiu Shen flicked his finger, causing a small wisp of black flames to move under the cauldron.
The holder of his silk ponytail untied him as his long silver hair fluttered softly.
His calm expression and incomparable facial features caused everyone to feel a hint of adoration appear deep within their hearts. Even Master Fengzi did not escape, he also felt a sense of inferiority compared to the otherworldly face of Jiu Shen.
Under everyone's complicated gazes, the cauldron that Jiu Shen ignited suddenly broke into pieces causing everyone to be in a daze.
“What a bad cauldron.. I just used a little bit of my soul fire and it's been smashed to pieces. Really trash...” Jiu Shen muttered softly.
Master Fengzi was stunned when he saw the sight of his precious quality breaking into pieces. His heart was bleeding so much that he felt his old body go limp. “My precious quality, this is a cauldron of grade 8.. How could a small wisp of soul fire cause it to break apart?”
“Mr Fengzi, is that your cauldron? And are you sure it's an 8th class cauldron?” An old alchemist asked with a puzzled look. How could a high-level cauldron break so easily as if it was a fragile glass?
Master Fengzi forced a smile and shook his head. “Of course not! How could such a cauldron be an 8th grade cauldron? It's just my backup, so there's no need to bother with it too much.” His heart felt like it was pierced by a spear as he said those words. He even felt his internal organs contort in pain.
Actually, it's not just him. All the alchemists in the room looked at Jiu Shen with shocked faces. Even Lu Sulan looked at Jiu Shen in astonishment.
Under everyone's gaze, Jiu Shen made some hand gestures while muttering an incomprehensible spell. His true soul essence and strength were displayed to the fullest, making everyone feel his true strength!
His martial cultivation was at the 9th rank Saint while his soul cultivation had also reached the 9th rank, indicating that he was an Alchemy Saint. With all these revelations, everyone's view of Jiu Shen turned into worship. What is an Alchemy Saint? People at that level were considered the pinnacle of alchemy in the Nuar world! Furthermore, he was also a martial cultivator at the 9th rank Saint! He was a martial cultivator and a double soul!
With another wave of his hand, several ancient patterns of gold floated in front of Jiu Shen like tame butterflies.
Looking at the ancient pattern, everyone felt a void as if they were staring at the void. They don't understand what it is!
The ancient pattern slowly merged and formed a small, transparent cauldron that floated gracefully in front of Jiu Shen.
With a flick of his finger, another wisp of black flame was thrown down the transparent cauldron.
His actions were unhurried and well trained as if he had done it thousands of times before.
He then casually threw all the medicinal herbs and fruits into the transparent cauldron one by one.
Everyone saw how the impurities of the ingredients were removed by the ancient pattern of gold.
Jiu Shen flicked his finger causing the black flames to flare violently as it became bigger.
With black flames covering the transparent cauldron, everyone could not see what was happening inside, but they saw that Jiu Shen was still doing a lot of hand movements.
His expression did not change and detached as if he was doing something simple.
A short while later, he dropped the last ingredient into the transparent cauldron.
“Decolve.” Jiu Shen muttered calmly.
‘Hm, this pill can hardly be a Perfect State. I have to add something that can make its efficacy stronger.’ Jiu Shen thought to himself as he picked up a bottle of wine from his storage earrings.
He took a sip of it before pouring half of the wine contents into the cauldron.
“Why does this master add wine to his concoction?”
“Shut! What do you know? We can only guess what this venerable Saint Alchemy will do with this wine. Maybe it's an important recipe that could further improve the efficacy of the pill.” Master Fengzi said as he looked at Jiu Shen in admiration.
His previous dissatisfaction towards Jiu Shen disappeared like a puff of smoke. He even called him the venerable Saint Alchemy to express his admiration.
“Making.” Jiu Shen muttered aloof. Following his words, the black flames receded and their disappearance produced a cloud of white smoke.
When the smoke dissipated, a rainbow light flashed for a moment before ten glittering pills were produced.
“Pil Aurora! That's the legendary Aurora Pill! How is it possible?!” Master Fengzi said with a horrified look after seeing the rainbow-colored flash of light for a moment.
