Chapter 93: Tremors in the Imperial Capital

Su Yun nodded, his expression calm, as if being a sixth-grade alchemist was nothing out of the ordinary.

In reality, he was secretly pleased.

Honestly, occasionally showing off in front of people, pretending to be impressive, felt quite good.

Fama took a deep breath, calming his emotions, and his attitude became even gentler.

"Well then, you rest and recover your Dou Qi here, while I prepare."

With that, Fama immediately left the room, leaving Su Yun alone in disarray.

Su Yun sat cross-legged and took out a pill from the system space for restoring Dou Qi.

With his current level of Dou Qi, and with the help of the Qinglian Earth Heart Fire, he could easily refine another fifth-grade pill.

But sixth-grade pills were a different story.

The higher the level of Dou Qi cultivation, the greater the gap between each realm.

The same applied to pills.

The difficulty of refining sixth-grade pills was not on the same level as fifth-grade pills.

He had to restore his Dou Qi to its peak state.

After some time, Su Yun's body was filled with Dou Qi, fully recovered.

Shortly after, Fama returned.

He had just made a trip to the inner treasury of the Alchemist Guild.

The assessment for fifth-grade alchemists was simple; he was already a fifth-grade alchemist himself, and it was easy to gather fifth-grade pill formulas and the corresponding medicinal materials.

But sixth-grade was different.

He had just obtained the formulas for three kinds of sixth-grade pills and the corresponding medicinal materials from the inner treasury.

After all, as the headquarters of the Adder Empire's Alchemist Guild, they still had some resources.

But when it came to seventh-grade alchemists, it was a different story.

For that, one had to go to Zhongzhou, to the Pill Tower!

Back in the room, Fama's mind was filled with various thoughts. The last time he went through such trouble was probably when he assessed that kid, Gu He.

Heh, one after another, are they all surpassing me?

Fama looked at Su Yun's excessively young face and said, "So, old man here has everything ready."

Su Yun nodded, indicating that he was also ready.

Seeing this, Fama placed the pill formulas on the table.

Su Yun casually picked one of them and immersed his soul power into it.

Just like before, Su Yun didn't take long to retract his soul power.

Fama raised an eyebrow.

He couldn't believe that Su Yun was just lucky enough to be able to refine one or two kinds of sixth-grade pills.

It was like a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse, stumbling upon ones he happened to know how to refine.

This young man had probably made considerable progress in the realm of sixth-grade alchemy and had many sixth-grade pill formulas in his hands.

Fama also looked at the formulas and took out the medicinal materials from his storage ring.

Su Yun prepared himself, and the green flame rose again, starting to refine the medicinal materials.

Fama watched the terrifyingly hot green flame and couldn't help but feel envious.

Strange fires had a fatal attraction to alchemists; every alchemist dreamed of having one.

Fama shook his head and withdrew his gaze.

Not only were strange fires difficult to find, but they were also difficult to refine. Even the last-ranked Mysterious Yellow Flame would require one to go through life-threatening dangers to refine it.

And it was precisely because of this reason that incidents of killing for a strange fire were not common on the continent of Dou Qi.

After all, those who could refine strange fires were not ordinary people.

And even if one succeeded, strange fires would occasionally erupt.

Other cultivation techniques didn't have the strong suppression like the "Incineration Technique."

This was something one could understand by looking at Han Feng.

Even if one practiced the remnants of the "Incineration Technique" and had the strength of a peak Dou Huang, they still had to guard against occasional eruptions of the Sea Heart Flame.

This was also one of the reasons why he was very eager to obtain the "Incineration Technique."

Even though strange fires were good things, not everyone could tame them.

The refining of sixth-grade pills was extremely difficult. It had taken him a whole day to refine the Breaking Misery Pill previously, and this sixth-grade pill was no different.

A day later, a huge energy fluctuation emanated from the Alchemist Guild, and a more prominent anomaly appeared in the sky than before.

The entire Imperial Capital was boiling.

"This kind of anomaly... could it be the phenomenon of a sixth-grade pill being formed?"

"That direction is where the Alchemist Guild is located."

"Could it be that Dan King Gu He has come to the Alchemist Guild?"

"No, it might be that Chief Fama has reached the realm of a sixth-grade alchemist."

Various major forces within the Imperial Capital were discussing. The clever ones were already preparing gifts, intending to congratulate the Alchemist Guild.

In the direction of the Imperial Palace, a figure in coarse clothes with a heavy aura was flying rapidly towards the Alchemist Guild.

Jia Xingtian's expression was solemn.

Whether it was the old man Fama successfully breaking through to become a sixth-grade alchemist or the mysterious alchemist who appeared in Heiyan City arriving in the Imperial Capital, he had to come and see.

Inside the Alchemist Guild, Su Yun felt the remaining amount of Dou Qi in his body and shook his head.

Only one or two percent left.

Su Yun took out another pill from the system space and swallowed it.

In each grade, there were basic pills for restoring Dou Qi and healing injuries, which wasn't without reason.

Too practical!

He handed the sixth-grade pill he held to Fama.

Su Yun continued to recover his Dou Qi on his own.

Fama looked at the pill in his hand, his eyes vacant.

Success at the first attempt!

This was much better than Gu He's previous attempt.

What was his success rate?

A hint of doubt flashed in Fama's eyes.

During Gu He's assessment, he had used up all the medicinal materials and barely grasped the last chance to successfully refine the pill and pass the assessment.

Perhaps this person's alchemy skills were even above Gu He's now.

Even if one had become a sixth-grade alchemist for some time now, unless one's luck was very good, Gu He wouldn't have been able to refine successfully on the first try.

Huh?

Fama tilted his head slightly, sensing the aura of Jia Xingtian appearing at the entrance of the Alchemist Guild.

There was also a huge, cold aura rapidly flying towards here.

Fama turned his head and looked at Su Yun, who was meditating and recovering Dou Qi on the side.

Had such a young person become the focus of the entire Imperial Capital?

Fama looked at the sixth-grade pill in his hand again.

It should be so.

Fama put away the pill into his storage ring.

Heh heh, actually, as the chairman of the Alchemist Guild, this sixth-grade pill belonged to him.

At the entrance of the guild, Jia Xingtian had been waiting there for a long time.

Seeing Fama's hesitant appearance, Fama shook his head.

"It's not me. You know my situation too. I'm afraid I won't be able to take that step until I die."

Upon hearing this, Jia Xingtian spoke.

"Can you recommend me then?"

Fama shook his head again.

Jia Xingtian frowned.

"Fama, we've known each other for so many years, when did you become so stingy?"

Fama was not angry and explained.

"Sixth-grade pills are not so easy to refine. He's still recovering his Dou Qi. How can I recommend him to you? Besides, Ice Old Man is about to arrive. Let's wait a bit longer."
