Chapter 120: Becoming An Alchemy Grandmaster, Testing It Out In The Brewing Chamber

After defeating five Young Emperors, Chu Kuangren’s immense combat abilities shook all the spectators watching. Even Honorable Xuan Qi, Elder Ruyam, and others found themselves in disbelief despite having expected such an outcome.

“Although there wasn’t a massive improvement in Chu Kuangren’s cultivation over the past three years, his insight into the Daoist techniques has drastically improved. How shocking and unbelievable is it that he’s already mastered different forms of Sage Ruler Techniques?” Honorable Xuan Qi said.

The other elders also agreed with his statement.

Elder Ruyan said, “Although he doesn’t have the Primordial Emperor’s Essence, his talent itself is way more precious than any material treasure that could be found in this world.”

“Indeed.”

“With him as our main disciple, how would Black Heaven Sect not prosper?”

“Haha, Black Heaven Sect is destined to prosper in this era!”

The Sect Leader and elders were all smiles.

…

Having arrived with high expectations, Ao Chang, Lin Batian, and the rest inevitably left in disappointment. Their defeat today had not only served as a reminder of how strong Chu Kuangren was, but it had also added another layer of self-doubt to their ego.

If they were to face Chu Kuangren again in the future, they would definitely think twice before engaging.

Meanwhile, news of Chu Kuangren’s victory over the five Young Emperors had soon spread to the general public and it shook cultivators from all sage orthodoxies.

Chu Kuangren had hidden for three years.

Just when the public thought Chu Kuangren could no longer put on a great show, he proved everyone wrong and showed that he was still the same undefeatable sky-pride he once was!

“Incredible, just incredible!”

“After the three years of closed-door meditation and losing the opportunity to earn a Primordial Emperor’s Essence, Chu Kuangren is still undefeatable. He must not be underestimated at all.”

“Such power! To be able to defeat five Young Emperors consecutively would definitely require unimaginable powers. Is he really just a Battle Monarch?”

“Now that Chu Kuangren has finished his closed-door meditations, it looks like things are about to get interesting again.”

“Back in those days, it wasn’t long after he appeared that he started to kill Honorables and sages and created a massive disturbance to the world’s order. Let’s see what’ll happen upon his reappearance this time.”

Everyone was discussing about Chu Kuangren.

Everyone could easily recall the stellar youngster who was capable of defeating every sky-pride under the sky.

This time, the same youngster had completed his closed-door meditation. What event would unfold from his reappearance?

Although no one had the answer, everyone was excited to see what would happen next.

…

“Have a safe journey, Princess.”

At the entrance of the Black Heaven Sect, Chu Kuangren was sending Princess Linglong off.

Princess Linglong smiled gently. “Then I shall make my move. When you have the time, feel free to stop by the Royal Azure Dynasty for a visit, my fiance.”

“For sure,” Chu Kuangren said softly.

“Goodbye then.”

“Goodbye.”

After sending Princess Linglong off, Chu Kuangren then went back into Black Heaven Sect. However, he realized that did not have a clear picture of what his next step would be.

On that note, staying in Black Heaven Sect to train did not seem like a bad decision.

Then, a month had passed.

“Congratulations, Host. You’ve earned a Starlight Grade Item, an Alchemist Permanent Experience Card.” the Fantasy Roulette sounded.

Chu Kuangren’s face immediately lit up. “Another Starlight Grade Item.”

In the past month, the Lucky Halo had granted him the fortune to win many decent prizes. Among the items were ten Silver Grade Items, twelve Gold Grade Items, three Starlight Grade Items, and seven Iron Grade Items.

Before the possession of the Lucky Halo, Chu Kuangren would already consider himself lucky if he had earned a single Gold Grade Item within a month. Now, almost half of his prizes were Gold Grade Items, whereas Starlight Grade Items had also become increasingly frequent…

Chu Kuangren was overjoyed by the sensation of becoming a Lady Luck.

“Use Alchemist Experience Card.”

Chu Kuangren retrieved the card and tore it apart.

A flash of light entered Chu Kuangren’s head and a wealth of alchemy knowledge was immediately deposited into Chu Kuangren’s mind.

In just a moment’s effort, Chu Kuangren had grown from a completely clueless alchemy amateur into one of the world’s most remarkable Alchemy Grandmaster.

“Alchemy, this is definitely a decent skill to have.” Chu Kuangren smiled as he absorbed all of the knowledge in his mind.

In the world of cultivation, there were many cultivation resources that could aid one’s growth. Alchemy was undoubtedly one of the most sought after skills, considering that a renowned alchemist would always be well sought after by many sage orthodoxies.

The Black Heaven Sect even had a brewing chamber where alchemists would train and provide their services.

All medicinal pills that were used by disciples of the Black Heaven Sect came from there, and this highlighted the importance it played in the sage orthodoxy.

“I can’t believe I can even master this skill, but I must find a place to display my skill. Otherwise it would be such a waste,” Chu Kuangren murmured. Unable to resist his temptation, he immediately set foot towards the brewing chamber.

…

In the brewing chamber, the furnaces were at their fullest capacity as herbal fragrances filled the air.

A group of alchemists was pacing back and forth, working tirelessly in the utterly quiet room.

Since it was Chu Kuangren’s first visit here, he looked around the chamber curiously.

“Ay, it’s Elder Senior Brother.” An alchemy student was caught by surprise when he noticed Chu Kuangren.

The rest soon looked curiously towards Chu Kuangren’s direction as well.

“It’s Elder Senior Brother, why is he in the brewing chamber?”

“Is he here to retrieve some medicinal pills?”

“It can’t be. Every month, there would be a specific person-in-charge who would come to retrieve the pills and distribute them to other disciples. Besides, do you think Elder Senior Brother would still need a medicinal pill?”

One of the administrators in the brewing chamber immediately stepped forward and greeted Chu Kuangren. “Welcome, Lead Disciple. How can we be of help?”

Chu Kuangren smiled and said, “I was recently struck by an idea, so I’ve decided to come and test my hands on alchemy. By the way, is Elder Wu here?”

Elder Wu was the person in charge of managing the brewing chamber.

“Elder Wu has gone out. Apparently, he heard that Master Gujiang is in Black Heaven Sect’s territory and wanted to see him personally.”

“Oh, Master Gujiang?”

“Yes, he’s one of the most renowned alchemists in the entire Firmament Star and he typically travels around the world. Elder Wu is intending to invite him over as a guest.”

The administrator’s eyes were beaming with respect upon the mention of Gujiang.

In Firmament Star, being recognized as a Master was an acknowledgment that a person had achieved remarkable results within a subject field.

A few of the examples were such as the Alchemy Master, Weaponry Master, and Formation Master.

Individuals who had attained such a title were often in great demand by many orthodoxies. Even sage orthodoxies could sometimes face challenges at acquiring the services of these individuals.

“I see.” Chu Kuangren nodded.

“Lead Disciple, do you wish to brew medicine?”

“Yes. Do you have a spare brewing room?”

“Of course there is.” The administrator nodded hastily. After all, Chu Kuangren was the one who was making a request. By hook or by crook, the administrator must find a way to fulfill his request.

Once the administrator led Chu Kuangren into one of the brewing rooms, he said, “Lead Disciple, perhaps you may let me know what medicinal pills you’d like to brew, then I’ll arrange for someone to prepare the necessary ingredients for you.”

“I already have the list of ingredients here. You can just follow the list that is written on this slip.”

With that, Chu Kuangren passed an ingredient list to the administrator.

The list was for a Gold Grade Item that he had won in one of the Fantasy Roulette spins and today was finally the day to put it to good use.

The administrator was a little surprised when he took a look at the list.

Pill of Melancholic Sorrow?

It was his first time coming across such a pill.

Upon closer inspection of the medicinal ingredients required, the administrator could not help but be shocked. All of these medicines were ingredients that fetched a high value.

“Lead Disciple, is this really your first time in alchemy?”

“Yes, is there a problem?”

“No, I’m just curious.” The administrator was puzzled. Was Chu Kuangren really intending to use such valuable medicinal herbs on his first alchemy session?

‘He must be overestimating himself, right?’

‘Forget about it, he’s still the Lead Disciple, after all.’

Within the hierarchy of Black Heaven Sect, Chu Kuangren’s reputation could even be considered equal to that of Honorable Xuan Qi. A lowly administrator like him would be foolish to decline his request.

Soon enough, the administrator had finished fetching all the medicinal herbs for Chu Kuangren.

Rolling up his sleeves, Chu Kuangren immediately got down to work.
