Chapter 178 Ch 178: Enlightenment State
"Don't disturb him. He has fallen into the state of enlightenment and is comprehending the Law of Fire."
The more Viresh looked at Alex, the more he liked him. He could tell that Alex's comprehension of Law of Fire seemed to have exceeded 10%. Without a doubt, Alex is a genius he could never find anywhere. No matter what, he has to poach Alex and bring him to join the Alchemist Association. If a genius like Alex who could comprehend more than 10% of Law of Fire when he is not even 18 chooses not to become an alchemist and delve into the Dao of Pills then it'll be the loss of the Alchemist Association and a great loss at that.
Thus, he didn't want anyone to disturb Alex right now. It is extremely difficult to enter the state of enlightenment. Countless cultivators can't enter this state in their lifetimes. How could he let someone ruin this opportunity and disturb Alex?
"That... Sir Viresh, no one knows when he will wake up from his enlightenment state. Do we have to wait for him or the test will start right now?"
The middle-aged man who wanted to embarrass Alex previously asked that shifted everyone's attention from Alex to Viresh.
Just as the middle-aged man said, no one knows when Alex will wake up. In fact, after entering the enlightenment state, it may take one day, one month, one year, or even ten years for a person to wake up. And in this state, that person's cultivation, as well as comprehension of cultivation technique, martial arts skills, Pill Dao, Weapon Dao, or concepts, increases greatly.
Viresh immediately came back to his senses when he heard this question. He hadn't thought about this question at all. He came to oversee this alchemy test mainly because of Alex, but now Alex has entered the state of enlightenment.
He didn't know what to say for a few seconds.
Finally, with a deep breath, he said: "Let's wait for some time. If he doesn't wake up, then he'll automatically eliminate from the test and your test will start."
"Sir Viresh, how long do we need to wait?" Someone once again asked.
Viresh looked at him and burst out with a powerful aura which immediately caused that man to fall to the ground in fear. Viresh coldly said: "When I said to wait, then just wait. There is no need to ask any further questions. You have to wait as long as I don't say that your wait is over. Also, if you don't like this, then you can leave this alchemist association and go to some other city's alchemist association for the test!"
That man was really scared. The other people who wanted to ask some other questions immediately shut their mouths. Only now did they come back to their senses and realized that they were actually planning to question Viresh, the Vice President of this branch of Alchemist Association.
They did not even have the qualification to stand in front of Viresh, and they actually wanted to ask questions. Their brains must have been hit with something.
It was at this moment that the fiery aura on Alex's body suddenly calmed down a lot and a surge of vitality exploded forth from his body that immediately caused the man who has fallen down to the ground and was bleeding from the mouth to stop bleeding. Even the wound on his mouth started healing. This once again shocked everyone and attracted everyone's attention.
"Law of Wood... And it seemed to be more than 7%. This boy is really a genius. At such a young age, not only did he comprehend the Law of Fire to more than 10%, but he actually comprehended the Law of Wood to more than 7% as well. How amusing?"
Viresh looked at Alex with a surprised expression on his face and muttered in a low voice. His voice was very low so no one was able to hear him. And this time, no one dared to ask any question.
Just like before, sometime later, the law of wood rising from Alex's body calmed down and disappeared. And it was at this moment that Alex opened his eyes, only to see all the people in the hall looking at him with a curious gaze. He could also see the expression of jealousy, envy, anger, and resentment on some people's faces which really shocked him. He has no idea what happened during the period of time when he entered the Enlightenment State.
Actually, Alex had not entered the enlightenment state, it is just that after he chose to fuse with the treasures duplicated from Viresh's body, a lot of information, as well as Viresh's comprehension of Law of Fire and Wood, appeared in his mind, causing him to automatically enter the state of enlightenment to digest that information and comprehend the essence of laws of fire and wood.
'He woke up... Why did he wake so soon?'
Viresh frowned when he saw Alex opening his eyes and looking at other people. He could not understand why Alex woke up so soon, but even if he woke, so what?
Doesn't he have already comprehending the Law of Fire and Law of Wood to a great extent already?
Taking a deep breath, Viresh mentioned everyone and said: "Everyone, pay attention!"
All the people in the hall immediately turned to look at Viresh and chose to ignore Alex for the time being. After all, the most important thing currently is the test of their alchemy.
"All of you are here for the test of Heaven Grade Alchemy Master. Before this, a person could only get the identity of an Alchemist to that corresponding rank, but this time, we have decided to give out some rewards to the person who can refine the most perfect pill." Viresh said, "Next, I will remove the veil covering the mysterious reward."
The crowd immediately burst into cheers. They all became excited about the reward. After all, the reward will be given by Viresh, it should not be some random and ordinary thing but a rare treasure.
As expected, Viresh soon made an announcement. He said: "The person who could refine the most perfect pill in this test will receive a bottle of Holy Water from Azure Origin Lake!"
After Viresh made his announcement, the crowd immediately burst into cheers.
A person at the side exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my god, the reward is actually a bottle of Holy Water from Azure Origin Lake."
"What is this thing? Do you know about it?"
Another person beside him asked curiously. The people who didn't know what this Holy Water from Azure Origin Lake is also turned to look at that person, waiting for an answer.
That person said: "Alchemist Association of Profound Star City has a very special lake called Azure Origin Lake. The water in this lake has a holy aura floating around all year round. This is a type of energy that is even more powerful than spirit energy and can instantly increase a person's cultivation to a great extent. But this is not the true benefit of the holy water from this lake, the main benefit of this lake is that it can boost a person's comprehension ability permanently. Now think about it, how much of a rare treasure this bottle of Holy Water from Azure Origin Lake actually is."
"In fact, for someone of our level, this is considered a supreme treasure. I must refine the most perfect pill and obtain this reward."
His answer caused another wave of cheers and uproar to occur. Viresh waited for everyone to calm down before saying, "There will be one hundred drops of the Holy Water inside that bottle. If you want them, then all of you should work harder!"
"Next, we will proceed to the start of the test. We will provide the ingredients and pill furnaces needed to refine the pills to you guys. We will also provide the formula of the pill. It is called the Five Elemental Profound Pill and is a Tier 7 medicinal pill. As long as you can refine this pill, you will obtain the identity of a Heaven Grade Alchemy Master. But of course, upon failure, you'll have to leave the Alchemist Association empty-handed and come next time for the test!"
Alex knew that out of the nearly two hundred Alchemists present in the hall and there is definitely a number of geniuses amongst them. All of them will try their best while he could now casually any Tier 7 pill easily. After all, he was already an Alchemist Grandmaster. His level is far superior to any Heaven Grade Alchemy Master.
Very soon, the pill furnace was provided to all the people present inside the hall.
The quality of the furnace was really bad which surprised Alex. If it was a pill furnace that was slightly worse than the ones provided by Alchemist Association then it will definitely explode after a few rounds of refinement, which made people very depressed.
