A Celestial Being

Hui Yue fully submerged himself in his room. He created one paste after another. His success rate was an astonishing one hundred percent. Even so, it was easy to see a difference between the first pastes he had created versus the newer ones.

The old ones, although good enough to be considered at the alchemist level were lacking in potency. No high ranked family would purchase these low-grade pastes, but many commoner families would save for years to purchase them for the most talented members of their family.

The pastes he had made at the start were of this low-grade quality. They could be considered successful, but just barely. His control over the temperature and the flame had been crude, and his ability to merge the ingredients even more so.

Hui Yue had been seated for three days in his room refining paste after paste. As he finally used up all the red orchids he had, he retracted the two flames from within the cauldron.
