Chapter 2209
“Yes!” Xiao Chen nodded his head directly.
He also knew that it might be a little shocking to ask such a direct question. After all, it had only been half a year since he came into contact with alchemy. He already had the wishful thinking of trying to refine intermediate immortal pills. If it was anyone else who heard his words, they would probably think that he was a little whimsical. Elder Zhang was the same.
Although he didn’t think that Xiao Chen’s words were whimsical, after all, after a period of cultivation, Xiao Chen would definitely be able to reach the level of an intermediate alchemist and successfully refine intermediate immortal pills. But now that such a short period of time had passed, Xiao Chen wanted to reach the sky in a single bound. Elder Zhang also felt that Xiao Chen was more or less biting off more than he could chew. He felt that his talent was better, so he was a little impetuous.
“How many of those beginner elixir formulas that I gave you before have you mastered?
How many can you refine now? “Elder Zhang asked seriously.
“This … disciple has mastered all of them!” Xiao Chen hesitated for a moment. He wanted to hide it and didn’t want to expose too much.
But then he thought about it. In order to learn intermediate alchemy as soon as possible, it didn’t matter if it was exposed. Anyway, his performance was monstrous enough. Only by performing a little more monstrous, would Elder Zhang be determined to accept him as a pro-disciple.
“Wha, what?
What did you just say?
I didn’t hear it clearly. Did you say that you have mastered the hundreds of beginner elixir formulas that I gave you last time? ”
After Elder Zhang heard Xiao Chen’s words, his face was full of disbelief. He couldn’t believe what he had heard at all.
Previously, he didn’t want to trouble himself. Every time Xiao Chen came, he would give him a few beginner elixir formulas for him to learn. That was why he simply gave him hundreds of them at once.
He didn’t think that Xiao Chen could master all of those elixir formulas in a short period of half a year. In his opinion, if he could use a few years to master all of these beginner elixir formulas, it would already be very, very impressive. But now?
He actually heard Xiao Chen say that in just half a year’s time, he had already mastered all the basic elixir formulas that he had given him last time. How could he not be surprised?
If Xiao Chen didn’t lie to him, then it would be too terrifying.
“Have you really grasped all of them?” Elder Zhang still couldn’t believe it and asked for confirmation.
“Yes, how would I dare to deceive you about such a big matter, Master?” Xiao Chen nodded again.
“This … Alright, then have you refined all of the hundreds of primary pill formulas?”
Elder Zhang could tell that Xiao Chen did not seem to be lying. Even though he still found it hard to believe, he quickly composed himself and asked in a serious tone.
“Yes!” Xiao Chen answered again.
“How many have you refined?
What is the success rate? “Elder Zhang hit the nail on the head and asked the most crucial question.
Now, he didn’t doubt Xiao Chen’s talent in the way of alchemy. What was left was the success rate of alchemy. If the success rate was high enough, then Xiao Chen would definitely become a high-level alchemist in the future.
“As for the success rate, I’m afraid that Master won’t believe me even if I say it. Master, please move to the side and watch!”
Xiao Chen thought about it and decided to tell the truth to Elder Zhang. He told him that he had a 100% success rate in refining low-level elixir.
After all, Elder Zhang was also his Master, and he was sincere to him. If even his own Master couldn’t believe it, then who else could he believe?
What’s more, his performance was already monstrous enough. Now, it wasn’t that Elder Zhang couldn’t accept a 100% success rate. Instead, he would pay more attention to him in the future and would definitely be willing to let him master the intermediate level of alchemy in advance!
Therefore, under such a comprehensive consideration, Xiao Chen still planned to refine a few batches of elixir on the spot and let Elder Zhang thoroughly see his strength in alchemy.
Elder Zhang was puzzled by Xiao Chen’s words. He didn’t know what Xiao Chen meant.
Why wouldn’t he believe it?
And he wanted to refine elixir on the spot for him to see?
However, he didn’t say much. He and Xiao Chen had known each other for a long time. With regards to Xiao Chen’s character, Elder Zhang felt that he had a better understanding of it. Xiao Chen wasn’t the kind of person who casually talked big, didn’t like to brag, and didn’t like to do useless things. Therefore, now that Xiao Chen had made such a strange request, Elder Zhang naturally agreed after a slight hesitation. He wanted to see what Xiao Chen was trying to show him.
Then, not too long after, Elder Zhang’s eyes widened to the point that they were about to fall out.
This was because Xiao Chen began to refine elixir in his courtyard’s alchemy room. Every time he refined elixir, the time he took to refine elixir was extremely short. Although the primary elixir was the simplest and the refining process wasn’t complicated, under normal circumstances, if a person who had just come into contact with alchemy wanted to successfully refine a batch of elixir, they would need several hours of effort.
Even if he refined the primary elixir now, he would need at least half an hour to successfully refine a batch of elixir. However, Xiao Chen only used about a quarter of an hour to refine a batch of elixir. This improvement in time was simply too exaggerated!
Of course, what was even more exaggerated was that after Xiao Chen refined a batch of elixir, he continued to refine several times. Moreover, every time he refined, he was successful. This caused Elder Zhang’s eyes to widen and his breathing to become somewhat heavy.
Then, he looked at Xiao Chen and understood why Xiao Chen would ask about the success rate of elixir refining. Even if Xiao Chen said it, he wouldn’t be able to believe it. Moreover, he wanted to refine elixir for him on the spot. This was clearly to use practical actions to tell him that Xiao Chen’s own success rate had actually reached a terrifying 100%!
“My good disciple, you, you … your success rate in refining the primary elixir, could it be 100%?”
Even though he had seen it with his own eyes, Elder Zhang still found it somewhat unbelievable. He was wondering if it was because of Xiao Chen’s luck that he achieved a 100% success rate?
However, Xiao Chen’s answer made Elder Zhang completely speechless.
