"What? You want to try refining a heaven-grade pill? "Yuan Chen's eyes widened in shock. He was so shocked that the list of herbs in his hand fell to the ground.
Even though Ling Dong knew that something like this would happen today, he was still at a loss when he actually encountered it. This was not easy to explain.
According to the rules of the alchemy world, only when an alchemist felt that they had broken through to a certain level would they attempt to refine a pill of that level to prove that they had successfully advanced.
In other words, only when Ling Dong felt that he had broken through to become a High Grade Earth Alchemist and became a Quasi-Heavenly Alchemist would he attempt to refine a heaven-grade pill to prove that he had broken through to become a Heavenly Alchemist and an Alchemy King.
This was the source of Yuan Chen's shock.
"Master, as you know, I was quite lucky when I went to the Sky Reaching Arcane Land this time. When I passed by a mysterious hall of flames, I even gained some enlightenment …" Ling Dong explained everything to Yuan Chen without caring if Yuan Chen understood him or not.
As one of the three Prefecture Masters of the Alchemist Manor, Yuan Chen was not an ordinary person. After thinking for a while, he understood something that shocked and envied him. Ling Dong, the disciple that he thought highly of, was going to break through to become a Heavenly Alchemist and an Alchemy King before him.
The worst thing was that not only was Ling Dong one step ahead of him, Yuan Chen did not see any hope of Ling Dong breaking through to become a Heavenly Alchemist and an Alchemy King.
Ling Dong's lead might be ten years, or it might be forever. This made Yuan Chen think of a saying in the alchemy world. To some people, becoming a Heavenly Alchemist was just a simple step, but to others, becoming a Heavenly Alchemist was an insurmountable obstacle that could never be overcome!
Now that Ling Dong had taken the initiative to refine a heaven-grade pill to become an Alchemy King, Yuan Chen realized that Ling Dong was the former, and he was the latter. He would never be able to surpass the insurmountable obstacle.
As he thought of this, Yuan Chen felt disheartened. To think that he, Yuan Chen, had been painstakingly immersed in the Dao of Pill Refinement for over a hundred years. Yet, he did not know that a little fellow who had just come into contact with Pill Refinement for over ten years was a little fellow.
For a moment, Yuan Chen felt as if his heart had turned to ash. The goal that he had worked so hard for over a hundred years had suddenly become unreachable. He suddenly became dispirited and sat down on the ground without a care for his image. His deep and wise gaze immediately turned dim and lifeless!
Seeing the drastic change in Yuan Chen in the blink of an eye, Ling Dong, who had lived for hundreds of years in his previous life, could be considered an experienced person. How could he not understand Yuan Chen's feelings at this moment?
Moreover, Ling Dong knew that if Yuan Chen was allowed to fall into such a state, it would not be long before Yuan Chen, the future Heavenly Alchemist, would become a cripple. In the future, he would not even be willing to touch pills!
With Ling Dong's experience, he was well aware of the terrible consequences of a person being disheartened!
However, a mental illness still needed to be cured. For a moment, Ling Dong could not think of a way to reignite Yuan Chen's hope and change his current state.
However, if he allowed Yuan Chen to sink into such a state and give up on refining pills, even Ling Dong himself would not be able to forgive himself.
For a moment, Ling Dong was extremely anxious!
"Teacher, don't worry! When I refine pills in the future, you can rest assured and watch from the side! "In a moment of desperation, Ling Dong's quick wits came to him and he threw out such a sentence.
To Ling Dong's surprise, when Yuan Chen heard Ling Dong's words, his originally stooped body and dull eyes immediately straightened. At the same time, his eyes shone brightly. At the same time, he grabbed Ling Dong's hand tightly and asked emotionally, "Dong 'er, is what you said true?"
In the face of Yuan Chen's nervous inquiry, he stared at Ling Dong like a child. When he looked at Ling Dong with a pleading gaze, although Ling Dong felt that it was a little inappropriate, he still made up his mind and agreed!
"It's true! Teacher, when I gather all the medicinal ingredients and start refining pills, I will allow you to watch from the side! "Ling Dong gritted his teeth and said.
"Thank you! Dong 'er, as your teacher, thank you! Oh no, the one who has achieved is respected. In the future, you should be this old man's teacher! " Yuan Chen was so emotional that he spoke incoherently. His eyes, which had regained their luster, were so emotional that two streams of tears flowed down his cheeks!
Then, he wiped away his tears like a child and solemnly thanked Ling Dong!
It wasn't that Yuan Chen was too emotional. It was just that watching someone refine pills, especially when other alchemists wanted to watch a Heaven Alchemist refine pills, was something that had never happened before in the Tian Gang Continent!
One had to know that even a Heaven Alchemist's direct disciple wanted to watch a Heaven Alchemist refine a Heaven Tier pill live. It was an extremely rare and extravagant thing!
In any case, in Yuan Chen's childhood memories, his Heaven Alchemist teacher had never allowed him to watch a Heaven Tier pill refine a Heaven Tier pill.
From this, it could be seen how precious Ling Dong's promise was!
"May I ask Teacher Ling, how many sets of medicinal ingredients do you need for this batch of Earth Fiend Sculpting Grade pills? When do you need them?" What made Ling Dong extremely depressed was that Yuan Chen actually stood up and saluted Ling Dong as a disciple. This made Ling Dong extremely uncomfortable!
Ling Dong tried to persuade Yuan Chen a few times, but Yuan Chen was unwilling to change his stance. This made Ling Dong smile bitterly. In the end, he resorted to a killer move — if Yuan Chen didn't change his stance, his previous promise would be void.
Under such circumstances, Yuan Chen reluctantly changed his stance. However, his expression was still extremely respectful to Ling Dong, and he always addressed him respectfully!
This time, Yuan Chen had shown Ling Dong what a 'pill fanatic' was! In Yuan Chen's mind, pills were truly the most important thing!
"Teacher, prepare at least three sets of medicinal ingredients to refine the Earth Fiend Sculpting Grade pills. If there are enough, five sets would be best! You just have to report the approximate cost! As for the time, the faster the better! "Ling Dong didn't dare to guarantee the success rate of refining a Heaven Tier pill. Ling Dong would be satisfied if he could successfully refine one out of three to five sets of medicinal ingredients!
As for the cost of gold and silver, Ling Dong really didn't lack silver recently! During the trip to the Heavenly Palace, Ling Dong had killed dozens of experts. The rewards were not ordinary! Putting everything else aside, just one Interspatial Ring for each of them was already a huge fortune, not to mention the things in the Interspatial Ring!
"Ling … Qian … Dong-er, give me a day, and I'll be able to prepare all these medicinal ingredients. Also, you can leave all the expenses to me. If you really want to talk about it, after you become an Elixir King, if you put up a reward for the opportunity to watch a Heaven Tier Alchemist refine pills, I'm afraid there would be many Earth Tier Alchemists who would sell themselves to you directly! "Yuan Chen said in a strange tone.
Seeing this, Ling Dong didn't say anything else. Ling Dong knew that if he didn't ask Yuan Chen to do something for him, it would only make things more difficult for Yuan Chen.
"Alright, teacher. If you've prepared all the medicinal ingredients tomorrow evening, you can start refining the Heaven Tier pill!" Ling Dong said.
.....
The efficiency of Palace Master Yuan Chenyuan was undoubtedly very high! On the afternoon of the second day, he excitedly went to Ling Dong and gave him a Universe Ring! Inside the Universe Ring were the medicinal ingredients that Ling Dong needed!
When the sun set in the afternoon, Palace Master Yuan Chenyuan followed behind Ling Dong with an extremely excited heart. He did not even dare to breathe too loudly, and walked lightly into one of the Heaven-grade Earth Fire Pills that Ling Dong had chosen.
He was going to start refining the Heaven Tier pill and become an Elixir King!

"Trash, he's all trash! A day and a night have passed, and two people are still alive. How could he possibly disappear from the world? " The Second Prince, Bi Jing, who had not slept for the entire night, looked like an angry lion. He glared at each of his subordinates who were kneeling in front of him, as if he wanted to swallow them alive!
"Your Highness, it's not that there's no news, but there are two pieces of news that we can't confirm!" One of the Second Prince's subordinates said boldly.
"Two pieces of news that we can't confirm? Speak!"
"Your Highness, it's like this. According to our sources, a young man and woman visited the Seventh Prince's residence last night, and the Seventh Prince accompanied them personally! However, our informants in the Seventh Prince's residence are limited in their abilities. That's all we know!
According to our informants, a young man and a young woman visited the East Hall of the Pill King Palace. Mansion Master Yuan Chen welcomed them barefooted and talked with one of the young men throughout the night! However, due to the darkness of the night, we couldn't see their faces clearly! In my opinion, this young man and woman are most likely Ling Dong!
It's rare to see someone who can attract the attention of both the Seventh Prince and Mansion Master Yuan. Ling Dong fits the description! What's more, they both brought a young woman with them! "
After listening to his subordinate's analysis, the Second Prince's expression softened. He waved his hand and ordered, "Contact our informants and confirm it immediately, even if it means exposing our informants!"
"Yes!"
"They've entered the Pill King Palace?" The Second Prince's lips curled into a playful smile.
*****
It was also evening. When Ling Dong and Yuan Chen entered the Earth Fire Elixir Room, the Seventh Prince, Bi Ying, had another distinguished guest in his residence. The Seventh Prince, Bi Ying, even went to the main entrance to welcome him personally!
This person was none other than the Deputy Minister of the Grand Council, Fei Anmin, whom the Seventh Prince had invited!
After five rounds of food and three rounds of wine, the Seventh Prince, Bi Ying, suddenly told Fei Anmin about Ling Dong's visit the night before!
The square-faced Fei Anmin was shocked at first, but he quickly bowed to the Seventh Prince and said, "I'd like to thank Your Highness for your protection! Hmph, I didn't expect this brat to be so despicable! "
Fei Anmin's eyes darkened, and he said viciously, "To be honest, Your Highness, I must kill this brat and his family! It's not just my idea, it's their idea as well! "Fei Anmin pointed his finger at the top of his head.
The Seventh Prince, Bi Ying, was shocked. He frowned and said, "But this isn't easy to do, is it?"
"Your Highness, they said that as long as you kill this brat Ling Dong and eradicate his family, they will fully support your ascension to the throne. You know this …" Fei Anmin hinted.
"This …" The Seventh Prince, Bi Ying, suddenly said, "I've heard that there have been a lot of bandits in Nanshan County recently, and the people can't stand the harassment. In less than half a month, the Nanshan County Governor will send a request for help. When that time comes, Sir Fei can arrange for a strong general to eliminate the bandits! When they reach the place, they'll be bandits or the people … "
At this point, the Seventh Prince, Bi Ying, suddenly slashed his right hand down!
"Hahahaha …" After looking at each other, the Seventh Prince, Bi Ying, and Fei Anmin looked at each other and laughed. In their eyes, there was a hint of a scheme that had succeeded!
