Battle Through the Heavens: I'm Just an Alchemist

Chapter 76 Breakthrough Pill

The beam of light appeared quickly and dissipated just as fast. As the beam faded, it eventually turned into a series of tiny light spots and disappeared completely, leaving only a thumb-sized ball of light remaining where the beam had appeared.

Perhaps because it had seen the sunlight, the light on the orb became even brighter. It swayed twice, but before it could escape, it was grabbed back by a slender, fair hand.

"...Oh no, I hope Mom will be kind enough not to spank me."

Nangong Wuxin put the pills into a cyan jade bottle, glanced at his side, twitched his lips, and sighed helplessly.

Oh no! He ruined the newly built meditation room. Isn't he a complete spendthrift?

"As for what you're worried about, young master, it seems I can only offer some financial assistance; there's really nothing else I can do to help," Lin Lang heard Nangong Wuxin murmur as he arrived.

There's really nothing an outsider like him can do to help with something like a mother beating her son; even the best guards can't protect you from that.

Nangong Wuxin smiled and shook his head, not saying much. He could only hope that his mother wouldn't treat him like a child anymore.

Nangong Wuxin handed the jade bottle containing the Breakthrough Pill to Lin Lang, and noticed that Lin Lang's hands were trembling slightly as he took the bottle.

After receiving the pill, Lin Lang bowed deeply to Nangong Wuxin.

"I was lucky and succeeded on my first try, so Mr. Lin can eat with confidence. If one isn't enough, have another one."

Nangong Wuxin helped Lin Lang up and comforted him with a smile.

"Success on the first try!? As expected of a young master, I'm really lucky to have followed a future grandmaster alchemist, hahaha..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Lang burst into laughter, feeling incredibly fortunate for the choice he had made earlier.

That's a Breakthrough Pill! Even a seventh-grade alchemist might not be able to succeed, which shows how difficult it is!

Nangong Wuxin succeeded on his first try. Perhaps there was an element of luck involved, but he still succeeded!

Lin Lang firmly believed that someone who had refined the Breakthrough Pill before the age of twenty was destined to become a Grandmaster-level alchemist.

With a "tragic" feeling, Nangong Wuxin flew home. Lin Lang looked around and carefully put the pill in his hand into his storage ring.

Then, he kept his eyes fixed on Queen Medusa, ready to attack at the slightest sign of trouble.

"Breakthrough Pill..."

Medusa remained silent, looking at the old man's threatening gaze. She shook her head helplessly and left the window.

A sense of helplessness welled up in his heart. How could Nangong Wuxin's talent be so terrifying?

The Serpent Clan's heritage mentions that the Breakthrough Pill is a high-level pill used by human Dou Huang powerhouses to prevent their cultivation from falling if they fail to break through to Dou Zong. It's not far from the seventh rank.

"Judging from his aura, he clearly only recently broke through to the Dou Wang realm, so how can his progress as a sixth-grade alchemist be so rapid? It's completely abnormal. Unless... hiss!"

Medusa came up with a reasonable explanation, and a look of shock flashed in her eyes.

If that's the case, then even if she succeeds, it will be difficult for her to keep Mobas.

In a few years, this guy will most likely advance to a seventh-grade alchemist. At that time, inviting three or five Dou Zong experts won't be a problem.

She was very confident in her abilities, but if she were to fight five opponents of the same level, her chances of survival were probably less than 10%... or even zero!

"If it's broken, we'll just fix it. It was unintentional anyway, you brat, you paid for it yourself, are you going to hit your mother?"

Chen Xiaoxiao pinched Nangong Wuxin's cheek, feeling proud as she looked at the little guy with a surprised smile on his face.

Even though he's a big shot, he acts like a child in front of her...

"I knew Mom was the most understanding one, hehe~"

Nangong Wuxin came up behind Chen Xiaoxiao and began massaging her shoulders like a lackey.

On the other hand, after seeing the appearance of the Broken Sect Pill, Nangong Jue smacked his lips and felt that it was just so-so.

"Wuxin, the important thing is to get rid of those snake-people as soon as possible and let Elder Lin go into seclusion to break through."

"I understand, Father. I'll take a nap during the day and refine the Spring Breeze and Drizzle elixir tonight. I'll send them off first thing tomorrow morning." Nangong Wuxin nodded with a smile.

"Ahem, no need to rush, Wuxin, you can talk about it after you've rested." Nangong Jue quickly changed his mind, not wanting to tire out his precious son.

How many times did their ancestral graves in the Nangong family explode before such a precious thing came out!

If he gets too tired, he'll either be cursed to death by his ancestors or slap himself to death.

"It's alright, Dad. My soul power is quite strong, so I'm not that tired. I'll just need a short nap."

As night fell, Nangong Wuxin, who had just woken up, went to the back mountain.

However, what happened this morning has already spread throughout the entire Gama Empire.

What grade of high-level pills can unleash a beam of energy?

Six products?

Still... Rank 7!

Compared to special regions like the Black Corner Region, information is relatively scarce in the Gama Empire, and most people are not even Battle Masters, so their knowledge is limited.

However, they all understood the principle that the strong are respected in the Dou Qi Continent.

The latest novel is first published here!

Nangong Wuxin, who was able to refine that kind of pill, had probably surpassed Dan Wang Guhe in alchemy skills and become the new number one alchemist in the Jia Ma Empire.

Moreover, compared to Danwang Guhe, Nangong Wuxin was much younger and surpassed Guhe in less than ten years.

If he were given another ten years, what remarkable achievements would he make?

Time seemed to pass slowly for the messenger.

However, for Nangong Wuxin, it was just an ordinary night.

The only difference was that a sixth-grade pill was refined.

The sun rose as usual, and a carriage two or three times larger than an ordinary carriage slowly left Yellowstone City and gradually disappeared into the distance.

As Yellowstone City gradually disappeared from sight, Medusa sighed, her eyes growing increasingly resolute.

Nika, who was rushing to catch the train ahead, had been holding back for a long time, but she couldn't resist anymore.

"Your Majesty, could you please let me see that sixth-grade pill? Just one glance!"

The next moment, Queen Medusa stepped out of the carriage and poured the elixir from the jade bottle into her palm.

The pale green pill, about the size of a longan, rested quietly in Medusa's hand. Its pale green surface was dotted with a few white spots, which occasionally shimmered with a faint white light, while the soft sound of rain could be heard in her ears.

Visible moisture appeared around the carriage, and the rich aroma of medicine made people feel refreshed, as if the fatigue on their bodies was washed away with the sound of rain.

"This...is this a sixth-grade pill?!"

Nika exclaimed in surprise, looking at the faint water droplets in her hand, her eyes filled with awe as she gazed at the tender green pill.

It's actually able to alter the surrounding environment! If Her Majesty were to take it, even the most troublesome injuries would heal instantly, wouldn't they?

No wonder high-level alchemists are so sought after; powerful individuals all want to befriend them.

Medusa looked at the pill in her hand and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

"Spring breeze and drizzle, what a beautiful name..."

It seems like the titles of the two chapters are reversed...
