Heavenly Samsara: Chapter 107

"Master Alchemist Xin, this is Master Alchemist Roan…" the city lord introduces the woman calmly sitting behind the tea table.

Xin Ja looks at the woman and feels a bit confused why she wanted to look for him.

His results in the contest should not have been that good, right? He even placed last in the contest.

Seeing the expression on the young man, Master Alchemist Roan could already tell what he is thinking.

"Sit down…" the city lord gestured.

When the three of them are seated, the woman takes out a vial.

The vial contains a golden liquid.

In Xin Ja's sight, a display of what the golden liquid is could be seen.

It is actually an alchemy booster extracted from 3 different 5th-tier herbs.

If it is used by an alchemist then the potion or the pill will have a higher chance of getting a higher-grade result.

As he looks closer, a number suddenly appears in his sight.

60%...

The purity of that thing is only 60%.

When he saw that, he showed a slight frown on his face as he feel a bit dispirited. He thought that it would have been a good addition to a concoction, but with that purity at 60%, instead of giving his concoction a boost, it might even drag it.

Alchemist Roan saw Xin Ja's expression, and she knew that her conjecture was correct.

"You can tell the purity…" she suddenly said.

This made the body of Xin Ja stiffen a bit. He did not expect that the subtle changes in his expression would lead the woman to see through him.

He could not help but look at her and divert his gaze from the vial.

"Haha… No need to be wary of me. I already have my conjecture that you have a very sharp sense that can tell purity based on how you refine medicinal herbs… I am truly amazed at your skill. That is why I am here." She said with a smile.

Xin Ja felt a bit confused and then looks at her with suspicion in his eyes.

"I am planning to concoct a medicinal herb, would you like to assist me?" she offered.

Xin Ja is still wary but since this woman requested it, he would dare not say no.

Who would know what she would do if he displeases her?

She is a Ki-Champion after all, and a very powerful one at that.

And so, Xin Ja followed her to a huge alchemy room where there are already a few alchemists waiting.

"Master Alchemist Roan, is this the brat that you are talking about?" the white-haired old man whom Xin Ja recognized suddenly asked.

"Yes, he will be our refiner for this practice…" she said with a smile.

When the rest of the alchemists heard this, they all squinted while looking at Xin Ja with doubt in their eyes.

This is true, especially for those that entered the contest.

Right now there are 5 of them in this room, and the sixth one is Xin Ja. For the rest of the winners, he is wondering why they are not in the room since this is a practice concoction.

He knows that if those people would be here, then they would be able to learn more.

But from the way he looks at it, the 5 people inside this room have an age of no greater than 30.

So that means that these young alchemists are being groomed by the elders around them.

As he looks around, his eyes met the glare from Xan Xumi.

Xin Ja could not help but frown when he saw this. He did not know how he offended the woman that she would glare at him like that.

He just diverted his gaze and then looks at Master Alchemist Roan in the center.

She began to give instruction to the rest and then walked towards Xin Ja and handed him a few boxes of herbs.

His eyes glinted as he wanted to practice refining upon seeing them. However, he also knew that it was not the time to do so. He needed to refine properly this time. But of course, that does not mean that he could not do something about the herbs in front of him, especially those higher-tier ones.

And so, Xin Ja began by refining the medicinal herbs in front of him. As he starts, as usual, he would cut the medicinal herbs into portions and then separate them.

Those that are seeing him for the first time doing this in refining, frown as they did not know why he would cut them portions.

In their minds, it would not matter whether he cuts them into segments or not. In a portion, he could only produce a small amount, and if he cuts them into small portions, then he could only produce smaller amounts.

How could they use such a meager amount of refined medicinal liquid then?

Some of them snorted in derision while watching him.

"A bumpkin…" someone muttered in disdain.

But the rest did not say anything and just watches.

But soon everyone's faces changes as they could smell the aroma in the air.

While the young alchemists look at him with doubt and mockery, the elders are watching with interest.

They have seen this guy refine herbs, but they did not expect that he would be this good at refining.

When it was already at 90% purity, Xin Ja stopped and removed the liquid from the cauldron and then with a wave of his hand cleaned the cauldron.

Then he starts with another portion.

After creating five portions of 90% purity of the 1st herb, he once again cleaned the cauldron and began refining the next herb.

It took him around an hour to finish his refining and presented all of the refined liquid to the elders around him.

With a nod of her head, Master Alchemist Roan waved her hand and the bottles were sent to the tables of the 5 young alchemists.

But the young alchemists did not react as they are all gaping while looking at Xin Ja. The mocking words they wanted to hurl at him a while ago now turned into astonishment and it dumbfounded them.

Who would have known that someone who does not have a Ki could actually refine this many high-purity herbs?

Plus they now understood why he is able to enter and win the contest.

But their line of thoughts was disrupted when Master Alchemist Roan suddenly said.

"Now you are going to concoct a bone mending pill! Begin!" she instructed.

Everyone nodded their head and look at Xin Ja for the last time before starting their concoction assignment.

Xin Ja at this time did not move from his refining table. He carefully began to clean his table and keep the remaining herbs to the side.

When she saw this, she could not help but show a faint smile on her beautiful face.

"Hehe… This young lad is something else…" the old man chuckled.

They did not stop Xin Ja from what he is doing and just let him be.

Although they wanted to take him into their tutelage, they would not dare. With his broken dantian, it would cause them huge if they helped him repair his dantian.

So they could only admire the young man's dedication to alchemy but dare not take him under their winds.

While the group is concocting, Xin Ja looks at the woman with a questioning look.

She just shrugged her shoulders as if saying that it was up to him what he wanted to do.

Xin Ja nodded as if understanding her signal.

He takes out the herbs he kept on the side and then began practicing.

There are 7th tier herbs in the group and so he began cutting them into portions and refining them.

20 minutes later…

A burnt smell suddenly wafted in the air which disrupted the attention of one of the young alchemists.

He frowns and then scowled at Xin Ja for being too useless in burning a medicinal herb.

He almost could not believe that the one who refined the high purity herb is actually able to even fail in refining. He is now thinking that everything that has happened might be just a fluke.

By this time, Xin Ja suddenly lifted his sleeves and then takes out a Ki stone from his pocket, and then inserted it into his left bracer.

He then adjusted something from the side as he tried to focus the energy from the stone. However, after fine-tuning for a while, he shook his head.

This is because one Ki stone is not enough for him to reach the Ki strength of a Ki-Master. He needed to put the Ki stones to increase the power output that he needed.

He bit his lips and quickly takes out another Ki stone and inserted it in another slot on the bracer.

After doing that he nods his head and then adjusted the bracer to the appropriate power output that he needed.

He then began to refine another portion of the 7th-tier herb.

This time, the time he needed to finish was cut in half hence preserving the purity of the herb extract.

When he reached 90%, he stopped and a smile bloomed on his face.

What he did not know is that the elders have already stopped watching the others, and have their eyes on what he is doing.
