"In alchemy..."

"I'm The Strongest."

Yao Ling'er frowned upon hearing Baek Ain's arrogant words, snorting indifferently inside because the pill she was making was on the verge of breaking apart.

Soon, it would explode.

What could he do in this situation?

Nothing.

Yao Ling'er didn't know that her worldview in alchemy would turn upside down at this very moment.

Baek Ain smiled as he flicked his finger, creating a disturbance around the alchemy furnace of Yao Ling'er. The Spatial Strength squeezed and contracted back and forth, stabilizing the surrounding area.

Even if the lightning hit, they'd not get injured.

"Give me the roots of Red Lion's Mane Grass." He stretched his hand, leaving Yao Ling'er speechless.

"How did you-!" Yao Ling'er couldn't help but feel surprised.

Baek Ain sighed and waved his hand, "Hurry up. Do you want me to fix this thing or not?"

Yao Ling'er puffed her cheeks and indifferently gave the roots of Red Lion's Mane Grass to Baek Ain, wondering how he knew she had it.

Baek Ain picked the roots and cleaned them with Gnome's flame, burning the skin and refining the medicine inside. It took him less than two seconds to extract the pure medicinal liquid.

Throwing the liquid into the alchemy furnace, Baek Ain slowly enveloped the Yin Yang Cleansing Pill that Yao Ling'er attempted to make.

"..." Yao Ling'er couldn't believe her sense for a second.

The pill, which was about to explode, calmed down under this man's influence.

"That should give us five to seven minutes." Baek Ain commented, pondering the next step.

"How did you do it?" Yao Ling'er asked while blinking her eyes.

Baek Ain glanced at her and answered casually, "The Yin Yang Cleansing Pill you made is "decently." modified by using the alternative ingredient, it was a smart move but not smart enough as you used the wrong Dual-Typed Magical Beast's Core."

"Did you call me decent?" Yao Ling'er pride as one of two geniuses from the Yao Clan was hurt.

But to her question, Baek Ain shrugged and returned, "Your standard is barely enough to become an 8th Tier Alchemist."

"I noticed your Spiritual Strength is more powerful than others, and with your background in the famous Yao Clan, your current progress is more decent than anyone I knew."

"However, in my eyes... Such progress is not worth mentioning."

"Y-You!" Yao Ling was infuriated.

Baek Ain chuckled at her reaction and teased, "Are you mad?"

"Do you feel all your training and hard work insulted?"

"Lady Ling'er, can I call you that? Trust me, the realm of Alchemy is more than concocting pills and studying."

"You must walk to unknown territory, find your path and make it your specialty." He grinned foolishly.

"What's the use of following others when they can't break through the realm of Gods."

Yao Ling'er was stunned when listening to Baek Ain's words, entering a trance as if a new world had opened before her eyes. Like any other alchemist, she wanted to become the best.

She studied and studied everything in the Yao Realm, but something didn't feel right.

The joy of entering an unknown alchemy territory Yao Ling'er had when she was young was "thoroughly." devoured by the sense of achievement.

She becomes prideful, thinking no one in the new generation could defeat her in alchemy besides her brother, Yao Tian.

But is that it?

Yao Ling'er dim brown eyes lit up. She was enlightened.

She trembled and bowed respectfully before Baek Ain, "T-Thank you for opening my eyes, Grandmaster Lin Feng."

"I'm truly honored to receive your guidance."

"Please forget my rudeness..."

Even though Yao Ling'er thought so, Baek Ain just spouted nonsense to act cool in front of "Juniors." for once. Yes, he was bullshitting some profound shits to look more imposing.

If Baek Ain had a long white beard, he would stroke it while appearing like a sage.

Oh well, even Baek Ain didn't expect spouting nonsense would be this effective.

Baek Ain faked a cough and said, "Get up, Lady Ling'er."

"We still have to fix your Yin Yang Cleansing Pill."

"So, you better follow my instructions."

"I'll do it with all my heart, Grandmaster!" Yao Ling'er firmly responded, clenching her slender hands in a fighting spirit.

Baek Ain activated Parallel Thinking and formed several invisible hands with his Spiritual Strength. It shocked Yao Ling'er because solidifying and manifesting one's Spiritual Strength into reality is complicated.

Even the Yao Clan Chief, Yao Dan, needed to focus while creating these helpful limbs.

Baek Ain picked some herbs from his inventory and refined them before Yao Ling'er, giving the noble young lady an existential crisis.

It is because Baek Ain's refinement speed is too fast. And not to mention the godly control over his fire, a powerful fire rivaling the Heavenly Flame that Yao Ling'er never heard of or known before.

Gnome's flame danced in the air, burning impurities of countless herbs and turning them into pure golden liquid. The pleasant aromatic scent shocked Yao Ling'er, making her hand tremble in excitement.

"T-This is...?" She asked with uncertainty.

"My invention, Bonding Compound Liquid." Baek Ain answered casually.

"It could stabilize any pills below Tier 10 and hasten the fusion between ingredients. If I had to say it bluntly, my invention could increase the percentage of success by 70%."

"The rest of 30% depends on the Alchemist's Skill."

"Meaning you should be able to succeed."

"..." Yao Ling'er was dumbfounded.

She has never heard of such a miraculous thing in her life.

Increase the percentage of success by 70%! Such a godly invention deserved to be known as a legendary component in Alchemy.

Even in Yao Clan's history record, her ancestors had never created something like this.

Deep in Yao Ling'er heart and mind, Baek Ain's image has become more revered, saint-like, and godly. She blushed and calmed herself because Baek Ain told her to step forward.

"Bring out your Spiritual Strength." His voice entered Yao Ling'er ears.

Yao Ling'er nodded and released her Spiritual Strength, feeling the endless ocean of energy from Baek Ain. His Spiritual Strength is a thousand, if not ten thousand times, much more powerful than hers.

Baek Ain threw the Bonding Compound Liquid into the furnace and instructed Yao Ling'er to refine the Yin Yang Cleansing Pill.

Thirty seconds passed, and heaven sent several lightning strikes at them. Thankfully, Baek Ain's Roc's Spine absorbed the lightning.

A bead after bead of sweat appeared on Yao Ling'er forehead as she gently controlled the Magical Beast's flame she owned.

BOOM!

CRACK!

One bolt of lightning escaped Roc's Spine's absorption and hit the roof of Yao Ling'er home, destroying it.

Baek Ain activated the Jade-like Enhancement and slapped the lightning away, directing it back to the Roc's Spine.

He glanced at the sky and saw the thunderclouds becoming red, having a slaughter aura. A frown appeared on his face because this wasn't a good sign.

Baek Ain gradually moved his gaze to Yao Ling'er and commented, "She's on the verge of becoming a Tier 8 Alchemist."

"Hmm..."

"Let's do this."

Since Yao Ling'er was so focused on her alchemy, she ignored most things and allowed Baek Ain to plant a parasite's egg on her.

The egg entered her bloodstream and flowed to her heart, finally settling on her brain. Baek Ain's new parasites are undetectable and extremely small, to the point of becoming nearly atomic level.

Baek Ain wanted his parasites to bond to Yao Ling'er DNA, but that wasn't possible. The King of Parasite Skill needed to become SSS Grade skill first.

"Here it comes." Baek Ain watched a crimson lightning fall.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

...

...

Yao Dan and the elder looked at the peak with a solemn expression.

They watched the thunderclouds disperse from the sky and reveal a light shower. A spear comes into their vision, possessing a lingering aura of Heavenly Slaughter Lightning.

"How terrifying..." Yao Dan murmured in disbelief.

But to their surprise, Baek Ain suddenly appeared from the rubble and grabbed the spear, waving it around to his heart's content.

Yao Ling'er appeared a second later, making them sigh in relief.

"Hmm?"

"This presence."

Yao Ling'er looked at the furnace in her hands. Her eyes were red because she couldn't believe this result.

A blood-colored pill floated out of the furnace and floated, giving off a powerful medicinal aroma.

"Congratulations." Baek Ain smiled at her.

"You have refined your first Holy Grade 8th Tier Pill."

"And becoming 8th Tier Pill."

Yao Ling'er bowed hurriedly and said, "Thank you, Grandmaster."

Baek Ain waved his hand casually and returned, "Like I said, in alchemy..."

"I'm the Strongest."

"So, Lady Ying'er."

"Are you willing to become my disciple?"

Hearing this, Yao Ling'er was dumbstruck before kowtowing on the ground, not afraid of dirtying herself.

"Yao Ling'er greeted the Teacher!"

"Get up. From now on, you're my disciple." Baek Ain nodded, his eyes gleaming with a bright plan.
