“How long has it been?”
The four grandmasters were interacting using voice transmission. They kept staring at the black furnace and the young figure who was sitting beside it with closed eyes.
“Five hours!” Grandmaster Harol glanced at the time and replied.
“It’s longer than expected,” Grandmaster Hua Yuan said.
“That’s right. Based on his speed, I thought that he would be able to complete it in three hours,” another grandmaster said.
“Could there be a problem?”
“I don’t think so. No accidents happened during the refining and the merging process. It should be a success.”
“Let’s wait and see.” Grandmaster Hua Yuan let out a long sigh.
Five hours had passed since Wang Teng merged all the ingredients.
If anyone could see the situation inside Black Meteorite. they would see three purple dans twirling slowly at the bottom of the furnace. There were nine crevices on the surface of each dan, giving off a glow and looking magical.
That was right, there were three dans!
Wang Teng’s refining process went extremely smoothly, so he didn’t waste any ingredients. There was enough to make three dans.
He didn’t want to waste any ingredients, so he decided to make three Nine Essence Soul Congealing Pills.
Actually, after Wang Teng digested the pill formula, he knew that the Nine Essence Soul Congealing Pill was a rare dan and was slightly expensive. He was lacking money currently. Since the Secondary Career Alliance provided him the ingredients, he would definitely maximize its value.
As there were three dans, it would naturally take a longer time.
But the four grandmasters didn’t know about that.
Wang Teng covered the three dans with his spiritual power so that the fragrance wouldn’t scatter, not allowing his secret to leak.
If the four grandmasters smelled the strong fragrance, they would definitely know what was happening.
Wang Teng didn’t do this on purpose. He did it so that he could preserve the efficacy of the pill.
All kinds of problems could crop up during the refinement. The alchemist needed to control the procedures firmly. If a mistake occurred in any step, the final product would be defective.
Of course, if all the procedures were handled with extreme care and control, there would be unexpected gains.
No matter what, to ensure the effects of the dan, normally, sixth-level and above dans were considered successful. If they reached the eighth or ninth level, they were of excellent quality.
In the dan market, the price of excellent quality dans was many times that of normal dans.
However, such high-class dans usually appeared during auctions so that they could fetch the maximum price.
Wang Teng remained calm. He wasn’t impatient. He was gradually infusing the efficacy of the ingredients into the dan. At this stage, the Nine Essence Soul Congealing Pill was almost complete. Only the lightning calamity was left. After that, it would be a true grandmaster-level pill.
Time seemed to have slowed down again. Another five hours passed. The sky had turned dark outside.
Grandmaster Hua Yuan finally noticed something amiss. He stared at Wang Teng in astonishment. Then, he exchanged glances with the other grandmasters.
“This situation might mean that Grandmaster Wang Teng’s dan is of an extremely high quality!” Grandmaster Hua Yuan’s tone was serious. He was using voice transmission.
“Yes, the possibility is high.”
The other grandmasters agreed with him. They were all grandmasters and were experienced in making dans. They could guess what was happening.
“It looks like we’ll need to wait longer!” Grandmaster Harol gave a forced smile. Then, her eyes lit up, and she looked toward Black Meteorite as if there was a treasure hiding inside.
“If he succeeds, it will be an extraordinary dan! I’m happy to wait!” Another grandmaster smiled.
“Most candidates will choose an easier dan for the assessment, rarely producing a high-class one. This isn’t a scene we can see every day,” the other grandmaster chimes in.
“Let me inform the people outside. They have been waiting for a long time.” Grandmaster Hua Yuan got up silently and walked out of the room. He didn’t disturb Wang Teng.
The instant he walked out, everyone crowded around him.
The middle-aged man from the Ji family and Grandmaster Kirton thought that Wang Teng had failed. After all, Grandmaster Hua Yuan came out before any lightning calamity.
“Grandmaster Hua Yuan, did he fail?” Grandmaster Alfred frowned and asked.
Grandmaster Hua Yuan was stunned for a moment. Then, he laughed and said, “You’ve misunderstood. I came out to inform you that this assessment might last for a few more hours. I don’t know when it will end.”
“As long as he didn’t fail!” Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
“Why is it so long? Grandmaster Hua Yuan, how many sets of ingredients did you prepare?” Grandmaster Kirton frowned and asked.
He thought that Grandmaster Hua Yuan had prepared many sets of ingredients for Wang Teng, which resulted in the long refining time.
“Grandmaster Kirton, why are you here?” Grandmaster Hua Yuan finally noticed Grandmaster Kirton. He was surprised.
“I was making the Nine Essence Soul Congealing Pill, but I didn’t have enough ingredients. I wanted to borrow from the alliance. However, I was a step slower than you. I heard that there is a triple-grandmaster candidate taking the assessment, and he also knows how to make the Nine Essence Soul Congealing Pill,” Grandmaster Kirton explained.
