On the long street, the man in black frowned, not understanding why Ling Xian would decline.
He stared at Ling Xian and said, "Think carefully. If you miss this opportunity, you won't get another one."
Hearing this, Ling Xian faintly smiled and didn't say anything.
He was only one step away from the ninth level. Why would he need a treasure that could stop a fifth level cultivator's attack?
"Since you don't want it, then I won't give it to you."
"Speak. What spiritual medicine are these three Dans made from?" The man in black spoke softly. It was obvious that he didn't have much hope.
He has been here for 10 days. Countless people have tried, but without exception, they were all wrong.
"Wait a second."
Ling Xian smiled and picked up the first spiritual Dan. He used his Qi and his sense of smell to sense it.
There is a magical Essence of Herbalism in this world. With one look, one can tell the composition of a Dan.
Ling Xian could not do it. However, he was an alchemist. As long as it's a Dan he's seen, he can tell.
Therefore, he calmed himself down and began to sense.
Time passed by little by little. After half an hour, Ling Xian still didn't open his eyes.
This made the man in black sigh. Though he predicted this, he was still disappointed.
However, at this moment, he heard a sentence, or rather, the names of the seven types of spiritual herbs.
This startled the man in black, "You saw through it?"
"That's right. If you don't believe me, you can test it out." Ling Xian smiled, believing that he wasn't wrong.
Though he couldn't compare to the Essence of Herbalism that could tell the composition of a Dan with one look, he was an alchemist after all.
A Dan of the fifth realm with only seven spiritual medicines was not difficult for him.
"Of course I want to test it out." The man in black stared at Ling Xian. He didn't know what the composition of these three Dans were, but he could test it out.
All he needed to do was brew them according to the spiritual medicine Ling Xian gave him and he would know if he was right or wrong.
"Let me look at these two spiritual Dans first. Then, you can test it out." Ling Xian had a faint smile on his lips. He then closed his eyes and calmed himself down.
Seeing how calm and collected he was, the man in black grew more confident. The number of people watching increased as well.
"In the past ten days, countless people have tried, but without exception, all of them were ridiculously wrong."
"It's not easy to tell the composition of a pill. Even an Alchemy Grandmaster doesn't have the ability to do so."
"That's right. I guess the man in black is going to be disappointed again."
The spectators discussed among themselves. None of them had high hopes for Ling Xian.
The man in black had some confidence in him, but more than that, he was doubtful.
After an hour, Ling Xian opened his eyes and spoke out the names of the 13 spiritual medicines.
These two elixirs were both fifth-rank elixirs and didn't require many elixirs. Coincidentally, he had seen them before, so he easily learned the elixir recipes.
"Are you telling the truth?" The man in black looked at Ling Xian seriously. There was hope in his eyes, but there was also nervousness.
"If I said it was the truth, would you believe me?"
Ling Xian shook his head with a smile, "Let's test it out."
"Give me a second." The man in black stared at Ling Xian for a second, then turned around and entered the shop on his left.
This was a shop that sold spiritual medicines. It was obvious that he was there to buy the 20 spiritual medicines Ling Xian spoke of.
After some time, the man in black walked out of the shop, took out his cauldron, and began to brew Dans on the street.
His technique was very skilled. Though it wasn't exactly smooth, it was still not bad. He was worthy of being called an alchemist.
"How rare."
Ling Xian nodded with a smile. Though in his eyes, the man in black was full of mistakes, his fundamentals were solid and could be considered good.
Whooosh!
The flame burned as the spiritual medicine was digested. The man in black focused on brewing. Two hours later, he brewed the first Dan.
This meant Ling Xian was telling the truth. Nothing was wrong.
Therefore, the man in black was excited. The spectators widened their eyes. They didn't think Ling Xian could tell the composition of the Dan.
"Unbelievable, he really did it."
"Is it a coincidence, or does he really have the ability?"
"We'll find out soon enough. If he successfully brewed the other two Dans, then it's not a coincidence!"
Everyone chimed in and focused their gazes on the man in black.
Under everyone's gaze, the man in black calmed himself down and began to brew the second Dan.
Two hours later, the Dan broke out of the cauldron. It was sparkling and fragrant.
Though it was only of the fifth rank, to an alchemist, it was not bad.
This made the man in black even more excited. Everyone was in awe.
After the man in black brewed the third Dan, everyone was even more shocked.
The first time could be a coincidence, and the second could also be luck, but what about the third time?
This was unquestionable capability!
"Who is this person? He is merely a fourth level cultivator, how can he tell the composition of the three Dans? "
"Even alchemists don't have this ability. Could it be that he is an alchemist?"
"That's impossible. Which alchemist isn't a monster that has lived for thousands of years?"
Everyone discussed and were in awe.
The man in black, in particular, was experiencing waves of emotions.
He couldn't even tell the composition of a single spiritual medicine, yet Ling Xian could. This alone was enough to prove how capable he was in alchemy!
"Thank you for your guidance." The man in black politely bowed to Ling Xian, knowing that he had met a master.
"You are welcome." Ling Xian softly smiled. He was merely helping out and didn't need the man's thanks.
He marched forward in giant steps and was about to leave.
However, the man in black stopped him.
He looked at Ling Xian gratefully, "I know you don't ask for anything in return. But to me, this is like giving me a new life. I will repay you in the future."
"You are exaggerating."
Ling Xian was a little curious. These three Dans were not high leveled and didn't have any shocking effects. Therefore, he couldn't understand why they were so important to the man in black.
"I won't lie to you. This is a test given to me by an alchemist. If I can tell the composition of these three Dans, then he will accept me as his apprentice." The man in black awkwardly smiled, feeling a little embarrassed.
"I see."
Ling Xian chuckled, "Work hard. Your fundamentals are solid and your talent is not bad. In the future, you will definitely become an alchemist."
After that, he strode forward in big steps.
This made the man in black's expression turn strange. He felt like before Ling Xian, he was like a junior.
But in terms of age and cultivation, he was far above Ling Xian.
Of course, this was what he thought.
Ling Xian's real cultivation level was at the peak of the extraordinary realm. In terms of cultivation, he was naturally his senior.
…
In the private room of the restaurant, Ling Xian poured himself a cup and drank. He was tasting the most famous spiritual wine in the City of Demons, or even the entire Yao Planet.
It was extremely pure.
This wine was extremely dominating. It was brewed with thousands of spiritual fruits and more than 10 spiritual medicines. Even a royal beast of the eighth level would find it hard to handle.
The price was the same.
A small cup cost hundreds of millions of spiritual stones. Normal cultivators couldn't afford it.
However, Ling Xian could handle it.
He was wealthy and even a ninth level powerhouse couldn't compare to him.
He was also very strong, so refining this wine was a piece of cake.
