Time flew by, and everyone became more and more nervous.
Elder Lingxin and Qingyue were nervous because of whether Chu Chen would succeed. Elder Hui Xin and Xuan Yu were also nervous because of whether Chu Chen would succeed.
On one side, they hoped for success. On the other side, they hoped for failure. As the time approached, everyone's hearts were in their throats. Elder Hui Xin and Xuan Yu both had cold sweat on their foreheads. They felt that things were getting worse.
"Ding!"
Once the cauldron was opened, a ray of spiritual light shot out and illuminated the ancient hall.
Almost without the slightest pause, a sparkling snow-white, diamond-like medicinal pill was condensed and rolled onto a porcelain plate that had been prepared long ago.
Success on the first try!
"Chilling Crystal Mystic Core … quality …" Senior Sister Qingyue carefully examined the pill that looked like it was carved out of ice crystals and snow diamonds. She let out a sigh of relief and a proud smile appeared on her face.
"Precious!!"
"How is this possible!" Xuan Yu froze on the spot. The pride of a young genius on his face was gone. His face was ashen.
To be able to create the Chilling Crystal Xuan Pill, he had already lost to this alchemist. However, as long as he worked hard for a few years, he might be able to create the Chilling Crystal Xuan Pill. But precious … what he created was a precious item. He might not be able to achieve it even if he used his entire life.
Elder Hui Xin abruptly stood up. Her movement was so violent that it actually caused the chair under her to fall back with a bang. Her face was completely replaced by a flustered and exasperated expression.
"What's wrong with that female disciple of yours? Precious item? How can it be a precious item?! How can you say the word 'precious' so casually? Does she even have eyes?! "
"You are the one who doesn't have eyes! Senior Sister Hui Xin, calm down. Everyone has already accepted this reality. Only you are unwilling to face it. "
Elder Lingxin raised her eyebrows and said coldly.
Hui Xin looked around. Her disciple Xuan Yu was already in despair. Lingxin had the coldness of a victor and Qingyue's eyes were filled with excitement.
Even the spirit crane outside the ancient hall had its mouth wide open. It was obviously shocked to the point that it was about to lose its mind.
"I lost."
Elder Hui Xin slumped to the ground. She had been fighting with Ling Xin for more than ten years and had always been suppressed by Ling Xin. She knew that Ling Xin had a strange temper and was never enthusiastic about accepting disciples. This time, she had hoped to rely on her precious disciple to make a comeback. She did not expect that she would still be defeated.
The disciple that she had trained for close to ten years couldn't even compare to the odd-job worker that she had trained for more than a month. Let alone Xuan Yu, even she might not be able to refine a Rare Grade "Profound Cold Crystal Core". Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh.
At this time, although Elder Lingxin's face was cold, her heart was in turmoil. She had never dreamed that something that was absolutely impossible would actually happen!
Chu Chen had only started learning alchemy for a short period of time, yet he was able to successfully challenge the Cold Crystal Profound Pill. Moreover, it was a Rare Grade pill. This monster-level brat could no longer be described as a genius.
Qing Yue's eyes were filled with tears. She was so happy for Chu Chen that she didn't know how to express her emotions.
"Sigh, Yu Er, let's go."
After another long sigh, the despondent Elder Hui Xin put down a purple box and dragged Xuan Yu, who could barely walk, out of the Alchemy Hall.
Elder Lingxin and Qing Yue were shocked that Chu Chen had successfully refined the "Profound Cold Crystal Core". However, they weren't the ones who were shocked the most.
After Elder Hui Xin and her precious disciple returned in defeat, the news of their crushing defeat spread like wildfire.
Because Hui Xin was determined to get the "Green Demon Medicine Cauldron", she had already spread the news in the alchemy circle. After failing, she could only vaguely say that it wasn't that she wasn't good enough, but that the other party was too strong.
They said that Lingxin had a mysterious disciple who was able to refine a Rare Grade Realm Pill at the age of 15 and that she was willing to accept her loss.
A 15-year-old genius who could refine a Rare Grade Realm Pill without any records in the Alchemy Association attracted everyone's shock and curiosity.
However, it was said that Elder Lingxin only had a female disciple called Qing Yue and a youth who had been doing odd jobs for her for less than two months.
No one in the alchemy circle believed that this mysterious disciple was Chu Chen who had been doing odd jobs for less than two months. All kinds of guesses started to spread.
Some said that he was a super disciple that Elder Lingxin had secretly nurtured. Some said that he was an expert that Elder Lingxin had invited from outside. There were even some who said that Elder Hui Xin's disciple, Xuan Yu, was too useless. She purposely made up a mysterious expert and there was no such person at all. All kinds of guesses were spread and skyrocketed.
Chu Chen obviously didn't know that the guesses and debates were fierce. He was preparing to break through to the Spirit Water Realm with all his strength. After all, the "Profound Cold Crystal Core" was already in his hands.
The "first drop of Spirit Water Condensation" that he had been looking forward to was naturally going to happen.
The condensation of spirit energy into liquid "Spirit Water" represented that the essence of a cultivator was completely condensed. The quality of the "Spirit Water" that was condensed would directly determine the highest level of cultivation one could reach in the future.
A cultivator's path of cultivation was a path filled with thorns.
Breaking through to a large realm was extremely risky. The failure rate was very high. Generally speaking, if there was no external assistance, the success rate of a cultivator at the tenth level of spirit energy breaking through to the Spirit Water Realm for the first time was only 30%. Moreover, the more failures there were, the lower the success rate.
The success rate for the second time was only 20%. If the second time was still a failure, the success rate for the third time would be even lower.
Moreover, if the first time was successful, the condensed "Spirit Water" would be of the highest quality and also the purest. It represented that the potential for future cultivation was also the greatest.
After failing once and succeeding again, the Spirit Water would become turbid. The future achievements would also be extremely limited.
The more failures there were, the more turbid the condensed Spirit Water would be.
Therefore, it was precisely because of these various reasons that the ideal situation for a cultivator was to perfectly break through on the first try! And this was also the reason why medicinal pills like the "Profound Cold Crystal Core" were extremely valuable.
A substandard "Profound Cold Crystal Core" could help a cultivator break through to a realm and increase the success rate by 5%. A finished medicinal pill could increase the success rate by 10%. A good grade medicinal pill could increase the success rate by 20%.
As for a rare-grade Profound Cold Crystal Core, it could help a cultivator increase the success rate by 30%! In other words, with the rare-grade "Profound Cold Crystal Core", Chu Chen's success rate of breaking through to the Spirit Water Realm reached 60%!
For the "condensed Spirit Water" this time, Chu Chen prepared three rare-grade "Profound Cold Crystal Core". However, he hoped that he would only use one.
When breaking through to a large realm, it required an extremely quiet environment without the slightest bit of disturbance. Moreover, it required extremely dense spirit energy to replenish the consumption. Therefore, sects would often open up a special cave abode for disciples to use when breaking through to a large realm.
