Supernatural Insight Eyes

How is this possible...

Jin Zhimo’s spiritual power was entirely focused inside the alchemy cauldron. At this moment, nothing was visible outside the cauldron, but something different was occurring inside.

She saw the energy essence that should have become a mid-grade potion starting to spin rapidly under the influence of a special power, accompanied by tiny black residues flying out, which she knew were impurities.

During the process of alchemy, an alchemist constantly extracts spiritual medicine, taking its essence and discarding its waste. With her alchemy, she had already removed most impurities, and under normal circumstances, it would barely reach the low end of high-grade potions. Yet at this moment, the essence she had extracted once again emitted impurities.

This was nothing short of an evolution, becoming more pure.

Jin Zhimo was stunned. She didn’t know why this change occurred, but she knew it was good because she might be able to refine a potion of higher quality than a mid-high-grade potion.

Jin Zhimo’s expression changed, falling under the eyes of many, making them speculate that Jin Zhimo probably failed in her alchemy, especially with that dazed look on her face. It was obvious that she realized her potion might not win, hence the unwillingness.

"Losing to Senior Brother Li Qing is normal. If a disciple like her, who hasn’t been in the Pill Tower long, had better alchemy skills than Senior Brother Li Qing, that would be monstrous." Someone chuckled, feeling that this outcome was not unexpected and quite reasonable.

"Yes, in our Pill Tower, our alchemy is the strongest. This junior sister’s alchemy, after all, is of a wild and untamed style, lower is nothing to be ashamed of. After all, our Pill Tower is the holy land for alchemists, the sect with the most alchemists."

Jin Zhimo’s performance made Li Qing even more certain that her alchemy had failed, and in any case, the result surely wouldn’t be of higher quality than his own refined potion.

Suddenly!

The air shook, Jin Zhimo lightly patted the cauldron, immediately causing the cauldron’s lid to fly open. Instantly, everyone’s gaze converged.

Whoosh!

A golden light shot out from the alchemy cauldron, followed by the appearance of a golden potion, floating in mid-air.

Some were still saying that Jin Zhimo was making a final struggle, asking what use it was to bring out the potion as it wouldn’t change the outcome, only to stop mid-sentence, their gaze involuntarily fixed on that golden potion.

A golden potion stood suspended in mid-air, surrounded by golden light, like a relic or a golden pearl, exceptionally dazzling.

Everyone present from the Pill Tower immediately knew what the golden potion represented.

As an alchemist, how could they not understand?

The aroma, color, luster, and every aspect of the golden potion spoke of one fact.

This was a perfect-grade potion!

"High... grade... perfect-grade!"

"How is that possible!"

"Incredible!"

"A potion of this level, only the Sect Leader has ever refined something like this right?"

"A perfect-grade above high-grade, a sign of reaching the pinnacle of a realm, it’s so astonishing. Could it be that this junior sister’s alchemy has already reached the peak of high-grade potions?"

The surrounding disciples of the Pill Tower were all greatly shaken. None of them expected that the potion Jin Zhimo refined after opening the alchemy cauldron would turn out to be of the perfect-grade.

High-grade perfect-grade!

The pinnacle among potions of the same grade, even a Divine Grade alchemist refining a high-grade potion wouldn’t surpass the perfect-grade, it’s simply impossible to exceed.

Even the youngest alchemist in the Pill Tower might not guarantee refining a perfect-grade potion, especially at the high-grade level. It becomes increasingly difficult to achieve this status the further one progresses.

People’s gazes couldn’t help but shift from the potion to Li Qing. Jin Zhimo brought a great surprise to everyone, indeed unexpected for anyone to think that the potion she refined surpassed Brother Li Qing’s quality.

At this moment, Li Qing’s eyes, like those of other Pill Tower disciples, reflected disbelief. Jin Zhimo refining a perfect-grade potion indicated that her alchemy was two minor levels above his.

Reaching the perfect-grade level is something only a handful of alchemists in the entire ancestral land can achieve. All those who can refine perfect-grade potions are big figures and great powers in the Alchemy Dao.

For someone of the younger generation to reach such a realm, how could Li Qing believe it?

Even Jin Zhimo herself was in a state of shock.

She was aware of her own abilities, perfect-grade?

She had never even heard of this term. At least, the man who taught her alchemy never mentioned anything about a perfect-grade potion. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"This can’t be, there’s something wrong with your potion. It was clearly about to explode just now, how could it suddenly turn into a perfect-grade potion?" Li Qing pointed at Jin Zhimo, demanding an explanation.

Upon hearing Li Qing, everyone indeed found it odd as well. That earlier scene really seemed like an explosion was imminent. As alchemists, who hasn’t seen the scenario before an explosion, the kind that wobbles.

"Junior sister, can you tell us how you managed to refine a perfect-grade high-potency potion in that situation?" someone asked.

Jin Zhimo was at a loss for words. How would she know? She’d like to ask someone else how this could be possible.

She couldn’t provide an explanation or an answer.

"Your silence proves there’s something wrong with the potion," Li Qing remarked with a change in expression.

Jin Zhimo truly didn’t know how to explain, as she found it quite miraculous, as if heaven itself assisted her.

While Li Qing was pressing her and everyone’s curiosity peaked, a voice suddenly rang out.

"A grown man unable to accept defeat, is it that amusing to press a woman like this?"

Swoosh.

Many eyes followed the voice, immediately shifting from Jin Zhimo to Ye Qiu.

The reason Jin Zhimo could refine a perfect-grade potion was naturally due to his intervention. With his alchemy methods, he could silently aid Jin Zhimo in enhancing the potion’s quality; the mysterious Elixir Spell Method possesses such a capability to transform decay into magic.

What Ye Qiu didn’t expect was that upon seeing Jin Zhimo’s potion surpassing his own, Li Qing refused to concede and even started pressuring Jin Zhimo.

This was something Ye Qiu couldn’t tolerate, so he stepped out.

"Who is this guy?"

"I don’t know him, never seen him before, he’s quite unfamiliar, doesn’t seem like he’s from our Pill Tower."

"It’s interesting that he’s meddling in our internal affairs even though he’s not from our Pill Tower."

As everyone turned their gaze to Ye Qiu, they all agreed that Ye Qiu seemed unfamiliar and was meddling unnecessarily.

"Who are you? What right do you have to interfere in our matters?" Li Qing was extremely displeased with Ye Qiu playing the hero to save the beauty, indifferent to whether Ye Qiu was from the Pill Tower.

Ye Qiu looked directly at Li Qing, eyes sharp, slowly moving forward, standing beside Jin Zhimo, resting a hand on her shoulder, addressing everyone around with absolute confidence, saying, "Just because I’m her brother, is that reason enough?"
