"What?!"
The smile on Lu Rui's face froze when he heard the words from outside. Shock and disbelief could be seen in his eyes.
Crack!
A soft sound resonated in the air. Lu Rui had unconsciously tightened his grip on the armrest of the chair and broke it. However, he did not seem to notice it at all. His expression was blank.
"Gulp …"
Lu Yuan and Lu Gui, who were sitting next to Lu Rui, gulped almost at the same time before they turned to look at Lu Rui in unison.
"Clan Leader … Didn't you say you only sent the medicinal herbs and the list over early this morning to ask Elder Duan to refine the pills?"
Lu Yuan asked in a daze.
"That's right … How could Elder Duan have finished refining the pills in just one morning?"
Lu Gui chimed in.
As for the remaining Lu Clan's elders, they looked at Lu Rui in confusion after they regained their senses. They wanted to know what was going on.
"I've no idea as well."
Lu Rui shook his head with a frown in the face of the Lu Clan's elders' questioning gaze.
After a moment of silence, Lu Rui seemed to have thought of something. His furrowed brows relaxed as he muttered, "Perhaps Elder Duan already has a portion of the pills on the list that I gave him … That's why he asked someone to pass that portion of the pills to me first."
Although Lu Rui's voice was not loud, it still entered the ears of the Lu Clan's elders who were present.
"That must be it."
"That's the only possibility … The few grade one pills on the list that the Clan Leader gave Elder Duan would take at least ten days to half a month to refine them."
"Elder Duan is a grade one alchemist, he must have a lot of grade one Life Recovery Pills with him … Perhaps, he asked someone to send the grade one Life Recovery Pills he had on hand to the Clan Leader first."
…
The Lu Clan's elders discussed among themselves as they voiced their opinions.
"Come in!"
At this moment, Lu Rui called the Lu Clan's disciple who had sent the pills in from outside the main hall.
"Clan Leader."
After the Lu Clan's disciple entered, he handed the Spatial Ring in his hand to Lu Rui respectfully before he turned around and left.
After the Lu Clan's disciple left, everyone's eyes shifted to Lu Rui, the Clan Leader of Lu Clan.
To be more precise, it landed on the Spatial Ring in Lu Rui's hand.
"Elder Duan is an erudite and knowledgeable grade one alchemist … I wonder what the purity of the grade one pills he refined is like."
"He should be stronger than the Alchemist Guild's Guild Master Cheng from the Southern Outer Continent."
"That might not necessarily be the case … You should know that the grade one pills refined by Guild Leader Cheng can occasionally achieve a purity of 70% and above."
…
The group of Lu Clan's elders began to whisper again, but their eyes never left the Spatial Ring in Lu Rui's hand.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lu Rui pricked his finger and dripped a drop of blood onto the ring to establish ownership.
In the next moment, with a thought, he looked into the space inside his storage ring.
When he saw the neatly arranged and densely packed pill bottles in the storage ring, his pupils suddenly shrank. "Why are there so many pill bottles? Could it be that Elder Duan has a habit of storing one pill in one pill bottle? "
On the Cloud Continent, there were some alchemists with strange temperaments who liked to use a medicinal pill bottle to store one medicinal pill.
He had heard of it before.
"What a waste."
Although Lu Rui felt that it was a waste to store one medicinal pill in a medicinal pill bottle, he still took out one of the medicinal pill bottles and opened the cork to look inside.
He was mentally prepared and thought that there was only one medicinal pill in the medicinal pill bottle. When he saw what was inside the medicinal pill bottle, his pupils shrank again.
"Ten grade one Life Recovery Pills?"
Lu Rui noticed that there were ten medicinal pills in the medicinal pill bottle. A rich medicinal fragrance wafted out and assailed his nostrils. It made him feel relaxed and happy.
If it was any other time, he would definitely be able to notice the difference in the grade one Life Recovery Pills in the medicinal pill bottle from the rich medicinal fragrance.
However, his mind was not on that at that moment.
"The other medicinal pill bottles …"
He hurriedly closed the medicinal pill bottle in his hand and looked at the other medicinal pill bottles. In the end, he noticed that there were ten medicinal pills in each medicinal pill bottle.
Most importantly …
These medicinal pills were the medicinal pills that were marked on the list that he gave to Duan Lingtian!
The types and quantity of the grade one medicinal pills were exactly the same as what he stated on the list.
"This …"
Lu Rui was dumbstruck after he confirmed this.
Lu Yuan and Lu Gui who were sitting below him were puzzled. The group of Lu Clan's elders who were standing in the main hall were curious why the Clan Leader would lose his composure.
"Clan Leader, is there something wrong?"
Lu Yuan and Lu Gui asked in unison.
Lu Rui finally regained his senses when he heard Lu Yuan and Lu Gui's words. He took a deep breath and looked at the crowd again, causing them to exchange glances with him.
"The few grade one medicinal pills that I stated on the list this morning … Elder Duan has completed all of them. No matter if it's the type or quantity, it's exactly the same! "
Lu Rui said solemnly with a complicated gaze as he looked at the group of Lu Clan's elders.
Boom!
The moment Lu Rui's words left his mouth, it was as though a bolt of lightning had struck. All of the Lu Clan's elders, including the two Lu Clan's Guardian Elders, were stunned.
Elder Duan had completed all of the medicinal pills that the Clan Leader stated on the list?
No matter if it's the type or quantity, it's exactly the same?
The group of Lu Clan's elders could not regain their senses for a long time.
When they finally regained their senses, they began to discuss among themselves. The entire Lu Clan's main hall was in an uproar as though it had turned into a wet market.
"Elder Duan has refined all of the medicinal pills that the Clan Leader requested?"
"That's impossible! How could he refine so many medicinal pills in just one morning? "
…
"I think he already has those medicinal pills and the quantity is sufficient. That's why he asked someone to send them over."
The group of Lu Clan's elders discussed among themselves. The last person's speculation changed the topic.
"Other than this, I can't think of any other possibility."
"Even if Guild Master Cheng of our Southern Outer Land's Alchemist Guild's Main Guild were to personally refine those pills, I'm afraid he'd need ten days to half a month to refine all of them without any rest."
"He refined all of them in just one morning? That's impossible! "
…
The Lu Clan's elders soon came to a conclusion.
The grade one medicinal pills that the Clan Leader requested Elder Duan to refine happened to be in Elder Duan's possession. Not only that, but he also had enough of them so he simply asked someone to send them over.
"If Elder Duan refined the medicinal herbs that the Clan Leader gave him, he might not be able to refine enough medicinal pills."
One of the Lu Clan's elders said.
The others agreed with his words.
After all, it required a 30% success rate.
"Wait a minute!"
However, at this moment, a horrified voice resonated in the air and drowned out the voices of the group of Lu Clan's elders.
At once, the group of Lu Clan's elders turned to look at the source of the voice.
The person who spoke was none other than the Clan Leader of Lu Clan, Lu Rui!
Under the watchful eyes of the others, Lu Rui's hands moved as fast as lightning.
Subsequently, medicinal pill bottles appeared in his hands one by one. He opened the stoppers on the medicinal pill bottles one by one, and the medicinal pills appeared in his hands one by one.
At the same time, a rich medicinal fragrance filled the entire Lu Clan's main hall, causing the group of Lu Clan's elders to feel refreshed.
Some of them even took a deep breath and closed their eyes in comfort, enjoying the medicinal fragrance that assailed their nostrils.
Soon after, some of the Lu Clan's elders regained their senses. Shock was written all over their faces.
"Such a medicinal fragrance … It can only be emitted by medicinal pills that have just been refined and left the cauldron less than a day ago!"
One of the Lu Clan's elders could not help but exclaim in a low voice.
He was one of the few grade two alchemists in the Lu Clan, so he was very familiar with some of the characteristics of medicinal pills.
The medicinal fragrance of a medicinal pill that had just been refined for less than a day and a medicinal pill that had been refined for more than a day would be completely different.
This was something that nothing, including the pill bottles and storage rings, could affect.
"All of the medicinal pills have this medicinal fragrance," Lu Rui said solemnly.
Lu Rui said with a solemn face. His expression was still a little stiff, and he had not completely recovered from the shock.
"How's this possible?!"
"These medicinal pills are all medicinal pills that have been refined for less than a day?"
"The medicinal fragrance won't lie!"
…
Soon after, the entire Lu Clan's main hall was in an uproar. Each of the Lu Clan's elders was dumbfounded. They could not believe all of this was real.
In their opinion.
This was something that was almost impossible to happen!
"In other words, all of these medicinal pills were refined by Elder Duan in just a day?"
Lu Yuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked at Lu Rui with a stunned expression as he asked.
"Although I can't believe all of this is real, the truth is right in front of my eyes. I have no choice but to believe it. Elder Duan is no ordinary grade one alchemist! "
Lu Rui said slowly as he regained his senses. He inhaled sharply and enunciated each and every word slowly.
Lu Rui's words fell into the ears of the stunned Lu Clan's elders.
They could not agree more.
"Then … Not only is Elder Duan's refining speed heaven-defying, but his success rate is also more than 30%?!"
"That seems to be the case."
"Monster!"
…
The group of Lu Clan's elders was in an uproar again.
It was one thing for his refining speed to be fast.
But his success rate was so high as well!
How could they live with this?
"Most importantly, Elder Duan is only a young man in his twenties … I originally thought that since I was able to become a grade two alchemist, my innate talent in medicine refinement was already quite good. However, compared to Elder Duan, all these years of my life have been in vain!"
One of the Lu Clan's elders sighed.
He was also one of the few grade two alchemists in the Lu Clan.
His words made the other Lu Clan's elders lower their heads in shame. They felt so ashamed that they wanted to crawl into a hole.
"How's this possible?!"
Soon after, another exclamation resonated in the air, alarming all of the Lu Clan's elders.
They could tell it was the Clan Leader's voice again.
For a moment, before they even looked up at Lu Rui, their hearts skipped a beat.
