Chapter 121: Massive Sorrow At The Scene, A Master Shocked By The Nine Clustered Pill Cloud

“I heard that our Elder Senior Brother has come over to do some alchemy.”

“What, our Elder Senior Brother knows alchemy?”

“Tsk tsk, not only that, I’d even believe if our Elder Senior Brother told me that he’s an Alchemy Grandmaster.”

“You can’t just blindly assume he’s great at everything. Although our Elder Senior Brother is indeed skilled, alchemy is still quite a technical skill. Without the experience, not everyone can become an Alchemy Grandmaster that easily, even for a talented genius.”

“You’re right, our Elder Senior Brother is truly skilled and talented. However, seeing how powerful he is, I assume he would spend most of his time in cultivation. How can he even find time for alchemy after that? I guess he’s only here to give it a try.”

“I guess so.”

Everyone who was working in the brewing chamber was curious about Chu Kuangren’s sudden arrival and was even shocked upon learning that he came to do some alchemy.

Many of the brewing chamber’s disciples had gathered outside the pill refining room as they tried to poke their heads in, intending to see how Chu Kuangren would use his alchemy to refine pills.

At that moment, the door of the brewing chamber opened, and in walked the administrator in charge.

“Why is everyone huddled over here? Don’t all of you have tasks to carry out? Everyone, return to your work now,” the administrator ordered with a strict tone.

“Come on, sir. We’re all just curious that’s all. Can you tell us what kind of pill our Elder Senior Brother is trying to make?”

One of the disciples asked curiously.

“I’m not too sure either, but it’s called the Pill of Melancholic Sorrow. Have any of you heard of that before?” the administrator asked.

A puzzled look flashed across every disciples’ faces.

“I’m well versed in both the Hundred Herbs Scripture and the Book of a Thousand Medicinal Arts, yet even I have not come across anything similar to the Pill of Melancholic Sorrow.”

“That’s true, is it possible that the pill is from some unknown or unpublished texts?”

“There’s just no way.”

As the crowd discussed outside, Chu Kuangren had started to perform alchemy inside the pill refining room.

After using the Alchemist Experience Card, Chu Kuangren’s alchemy skills were already at the peak; it was the best in the world.

The moment he started to perform alchemy, a sense of familiarity rushed over him as though it was something he had done and repeated thousands of times before. Every action and movement he made was smooth and well versed.

As the herbal ingredients started to get lesser, the pill too began to take form inside the furnace. With that, a mysterious scent of Pill Qi started permeating through the air.

Outside the room.

Every disciple instantly detected the Pill Qi in the air.

“What a nice smell. Is this a type of pill aroma?”

“Only Top-tier medicinal pills can emit a pill aroma. Is this our Elder Senior Brother’s first time doing alchemy?”

“This pill aroma is very extraordinary and quite unsmelt of.”

“Waa...”

Suddenly, sobbing sounds erupted from within the crowd. Everyone then looked towards its direction and saw a young disciple crying.

“What are you crying for?” someone asked curiously.

“I suddenly recalled some sad memories from my past.”

Everyone could not help but lament on that person’s behavior.

It must be an unbearably sad memory for a seven-foot man to break out into tears so openly in the crowd.

‘Something’s not right.’

‘Why did you recall it at a moment like this?’

As the pill aroma became increasingly intense in the air, everyone felt a sudden pang of sorrow within them and all sorts of sad memories soon started to appear in their heads.

“Waaa... I’m truly an unfilial child. After joining the Black Heaven Sect at twelve, I’ve only visited home a few times. I’m a useless and bad child after all!”

“So what, I’ve been cultivating for ten years now, yet I’m still stuck at the Foundation Establishment Realm for who knows how long. I have the lowest cultivation level among everyone here. I’m truly a disappointment. Waa... Just let me die in peace, there’s no point stopping me.”

“Don’t do it. There are many people out there who are not even at the Foundation Establishment Realm, what the hell are you crying for? Waaa, I’m even worse. I told my dear Cuihua that I’ll be back to marry her after making a name for myself. But the moment I went back, her kids were already all grown up...”

“Stay strong, brother...”

“Waaaa, how can any of you be more miserable than me? My old pal Great Yellow just passed away yesterday. Ever since he was born, I have taken care of him, fed him with all my heart, and watched him grow. Yet he just left me like that instead! Oh, the pain!”

“Oh, how I miss my sweet Elder Sister (TL: ?? means a female cultivator who is more senior). Although she rejected me after I confessed to her a year ago, I still can’t keep her out of my mind, waaa...”

“I’ve been alive for so many years yet I’m still a virgin. What a sad person I am.”

Outside the pill refining room, a bunch of brewing chamber disciples cried miserably as a melancholic scent filled the air.

Outside the brewing chamber.

Two elders were chatting and laughing as they approached.

“Master Gujiang, it’s truly an honor to have you be my guest at the Black Heaven Sect.” The Fifth Elder chuckled.

Master Gujiang laughed. “I am grateful for your warm reception, Fifth Elder. Knowing that Black Heaven Sect is a sage orthodoxy, it’s my pleasure to accept your invitation for a visit instead.”

“You’re too humble, Master Gujiang. Oh, by the way, I have a bunch of unmotivated disciples in my brewing chamber whom I hope you can provide with some guidance and assistance of your own during your visit.”

“I’ll be glad to help.”

“Very well, it’s settled then.”

“Oh right, I also heard that the lead disciple of your Black Heaven Sect is a very remarkable person. I’d like to meet him as well if it’s possible, of course.”

“That shouldn’t be hard to arrange, Master Gujiang.”

With that, both the Fifth Elder and Master Gujiang entered the brewing chamber.

However, they detected a peculiar pill aroma in the air the moment they stepped foot into that place.

After all, it was a place where alchemy was used for pill refinement so a pill aroma was not something out of the ordinary for a brewing chamber, yet the current and particular scent of pill aroma was very unique.

Well versed in countless texts and scriptures about alchemy, Master Gu had come across various sorts of medicinal pills and elixirs. Nevertheless, he had never smelled that kind of pill aroma before.

“What kind of medicinal pill is this?” Master Gujiang could not help but wonder.

“I don’t know either.”

The Fifth Elder was a bit confused as well.

He very clearly knew what pills the alchemists in the brewing chamber could make, and this pill aroma was not from the disciples in his brewing chamber.

‘Who else can it be then?’

No longer able to hold back their curiosity, the both of them then went looking for the source of the pill aroma.

However, when they got nearer to the source of the pill aroma, all they could feel was that their nose had started to sour and their eyes started to water. Soon, a sense of sorrow overwhelmed them.

“This pill aroma can evoke a sense of sorrow in people’s hearts?”

“What a strange pill this is.”

Since both the Fifth Elder and Master Gu were not weak in terms of cultivation level, and this was merely a pill aroma after all, they then engaged their spiritual power to suppress it.

Gradually, they began to hear the cries of many people.

Upon entering the pill refining chamber, a scene of the brewing chamber’s disciples crying and bawling their eyes out unfolded in front of their eyes.

The Fifth Elder and Master Gu looked at each other, not knowing how to react.

“The power of this pill truly is extraordinary.”

“You’re right.”

The Fifth Elder then went up to the administrator and asked, “What’s going on here? Who the hell is performing alchemy inside the pill refining room?”

The administrator’s eyes were already red from crying and drips of snots flowed down his nose. When he saw the Fifth Elder, he replied, “Waaa... It’s the lead disciple.”

‘Lead disciple?’

‘Chu Kuangren?’

“Since when did he know how to perform alchemy? And to come up with such a weird and peculiar medicinal pill as well.” The Fifth Elder was slightly puzzled.

Just as he was confused, a surge of Pill Qi from the pill refining room suddenly wafted into the air before it absorbed the spiritual power and formed it into a golden pill cloud.

“It’s a Supreme Pill!”

Master Gu yelled in astonishment.

Medicinal pills could be separated into different categories based on their quality and grades. Those that were among the best in terms of quality and grade were known as Supreme Pills!

Even wanting to refine a low-tier medicinal pill into a Supreme Pill would be a great challenge for an alchemist.

However, before Master Gu could recover from his shock, another similar pill cloud had formed after the first one, and not long after, there were a total of nine clusters of pill clouds in the air!

As the golden pill clouds floated in the air, emitting auspicious bursts of light, a mysterious Daoist Rhyme filled the surroundings and stirred something within everyone.

The originally-dumbfounded Master Gu now stared in disbelief. “Nine, nine clusters of pill clouds. It’s...It’s a Ninth Grade Supreme Pill!”

Since the number nine was usually reserved for the highest grade, the Ninth Grade Supreme Pill was known as the highest quality medicinal pill known in the world. Even Master Gu was not able to produce such a high-quality pill!

“Alchemy Grandmaster!”

“Whoever’s in there is definitely an Alchemy Grandmaster!”
