First Attempt at Alchemy, Leaving Everyone Stunned!

Let me try?

The calm voice was like a boulder dropped into a placid lake, setting off towering waves!

Everyone's gazes instantly turned toward the source of the voice!

"Su... Su Ye?!"

Everyone was dumbfounded. They had never expected Su Ye to speak up at this moment.

Lin Qingyue's performance just now had been utterly dazzling, yet Su Ye had chosen this moment to step forward. Wasn't he afraid of embarrassing himself?

Or was he truly trying to seize every chance to experience alchemy?

Given his family circumstances, every opportunity to refine pills was indeed hard to come by.

Countless thoughts swirled through everyone's minds, leaving them deeply conflicted.

Even Luo Ding on the stage clearly had not recovered at once. Looking at Su Ye's calmness—so steady it hardly seemed fitting for someone his age—he hesitated.

But with the atmosphere as it was, it was clearly difficult to refuse, so he could only say:

"Alright, Su Ye. Then demonstrate it for all your classmates!"

Su Ye rose and walked onto the stage beneath everyone's watchful eyes.

From the demonstrations of the many students before him, along with Luo Ding's explanations, he had gradually confirmed something in his mind.

But whether it would truly work that way, and how exactly he should do it—

He could not say for certain either. After all, he had never personally refined pills before.

"First step, selecting the ingredients."

Su Ye's movements as he grabbed the medicinal herbs and placed them into the Alchemy Furnace were exceedingly clumsy, forming a stark contrast with everyone before him.

Forget someone as experienced as Luo Ding, a Level 5 Alchemist—even the ordinary students below the stage could see it!

A trace of contempt flashed through Lin Qingyue's eyes!

This was the gap!

"But this is what an ordinary student is like!"

"How many people get to encounter alchemy in advance and undergo extensive, systematic practical training?"

Luo Ding sighed faintly to himself!

Yet in the next instant, his expression shifted. "Huh?"

Su Ye's bearing seemed to be changing!

His techniques... were gradually becoming more adept!

His speed of adaptation was astonishingly fast!

At first, he had needed specialized equipment to weigh the herbs and determine their quantities.

But as he continued adding ingredients, he actually stopped using the equipment altogether. With a casual grab, he sensed the corresponding weight and tossed them straight in!

How was that possible?!!

All the students also noticed it, and they were left somewhat dazed!

But Su Ye had already sunk into his own world. It was as though there was nothing before him except the Alchemy Furnace, utterly ignoring the sounds and gazes around him!

His focus had reached its peak!

So this is what alchemy feels like?!

This was his first hands-on attempt at alchemy, yet after only that brief initial awkwardness, he had completely gotten the hang of it, like a fish returning to water!

As if he were a born Alchemist!

This is Pill Sense! It isn't merely because my Spiritual Power is strong and my control and perception are sharp.

It is also because of the reflection of the Manifestation Talisman!

Right now, I am equivalent to a blank-slate First-grade Alchemist!

Other than not knowing pill formulas and techniques, in terms of Pill Sense, rhythm, and understanding, I am already completely different!

And as for pill formulas and techniques, hadn't Luo Ding, Lin Qingyue, and the others just demonstrated them?!

That directly completed Su Ye's final missing piece!

A sharp glint flashed in Su Ye's eyes!

His left hand pinched lightly, looking extremely similar to Luo Ding's earlier movements!

He directly grabbed the herbs!

"He!! He took too much!"

"That's enough for two batches?!!!"

The entire room erupted. The students' eyes widened, their minds going blank!

What was going on?!

What was Su Ye trying to do?!

They could no longer understand him!

Clearly, Su Ye had been incredibly clumsy just moments ago, even unfamiliar with the weighing process. Yet in less than half a minute, he could directly sense the weight, and now he had tossed in ingredients for two batches at once.

Was he trying to imitate Lin Qingyue?

No way!

This was madness!

How could a novice at alchemy compare to someone with Lin Qingyue's technique and experience?

He actually wanted to refine two pills at once?

Two words lingered in their minds—

Absurd!

Even Luo Ding wanted to rebuke him, but seeing Su Ye's utterly absorbed, intensely focused bearing, he found himself unable to speak!

He even cast a stern glance at the students below, signaling them to keep quiet.

The students below hurriedly fell silent!

Lin Qingyue's gaze sharpened, and she laughed in fury!

Copying me? You think you're worthy!

Since childhood, her elders had drilled her tirelessly, and she had even received guidance from a Level 7 Alchemist. Though her focus this past month had been martial cultivation, the number of times she had refined pills still far exceeded what ordinary people could imagine.

Was that something Su Ye could compare to? Ridiculous!

Bang!

"The second step has begun—Pill Condensation!"

"That's Teacher Luo's earlier technique!"

A student cried out softly, because Su Ye's movements were actually not the slightest bit different!

Even the minor details were imitated exceptionally well!

Bang! Bang!

Bang! Bang!

More than a dozen consecutive palm strikes!

Outsiders watched the excitement; experts saw the method.

In the room, many people's expressions had already changed!

Fang Yuan stared fixedly at Su Ye on the stage, his entire body trembling.

Lin Qingyue was even more incredulous!

Zhang Yuan was dumbfounded as well.

Yao Hong beside him had clearly only just begun to dabble in alchemy and could not quite understand. She asked softly, "Is there something wrong with Su Ye's technique?"

Zhang Yuan jolted, his entire body shuddering as he said excitedly:

"Something wrong? The problem is enormous!"

"This is fucking—"

"At the beginning, Brother Ye's technique was correct, but the rhythm was clearly still lacking. He was obviously inexperienced, but... but now, there isn't the slightest difference!"

"The force, the rhythm, the Pill Sense, the control... this is fucking more monstrous than Lin Qingyue!"

Was this really a beginner?!

He was so skilled that he looked like a certified Alchemist!

Bang! Bang!

With every palm strike from Su Ye, he became more composed!

Everyone could vaguely see a trace of a teacher in him, strolling through a courtyard at leisure!

Smooth as drifting clouds and flowing water!

It was as though refining two Blood Strengthening Pills at once was as easy as lifting a hand for him!

Bang! Bang!

His technique suddenly changed!

Lin Qingyue's breathing abruptly grew heavy. Zhang Yuan's eyes widened, and he was completely dumbfounded, feeling as though he were dreaming:

"Holy shit!"

"That isn't one of the six fixed techniques Teacher Luo taught! It's one of Lin Qingyue's variations from just now!"

"Brother Ye didn't just learn that on the spot, did he?!"

The technique for refining Blood Strengthening Pills was indeed not difficult, but learning it on the spot?!!

Bang! Bang!

Bang! Bang!

After several more consecutive palm strikes, all the students fell silent together. Even Luo Ding stopped explaining and simply watched Su Ye operate.

The two Body Tempering Pills had gradually taken shape!

"Pill Condensation succeeded!"

Luo Ding, Fang Yuan, and the others with experience could already tell!

As long as Su Ye's final few closing techniques were correct, he could easily complete the Pill Condensation, no worse than Lin Qingyue!

It was simply insane!

"Hoo..." Su Ye slowly exhaled, a trace of hesitation flashing through his eyes before it was instantly replaced by determination.

My understanding should be correct.

Besides, trying it out isn't a bad thing.

In the next instant, his technique changed sharply!

It did not belong to any of the earlier variations!

And the two Blood Strengthening Pills inside the Alchemy Furnace were actually shattered apart by Su Ye!

All the students' eyes widened. "Did it fail?!"

"What's going on? Wasn't it about to succeed? What is Su Ye doing?!"

Even though they were novices, they could tell that Su Ye had done it deliberately!

Inside the Alchemy Furnace, the two Blood Strengthening Pills actually began to fuse together under the intense heat!

Bang! Bang!

His technique vaguely carried the shadows of Luo Ding and Lin Qingyue, but it had clearly changed!

"This is?!!!" Even Luo Ding, who had seen grand scenes before, abruptly changed expression.

He suddenly thought of something.

Could this little fellow be trying to...

Su Ye had already focused all his attention, completely displaying his Pill Sense.

His attention was entirely fixed on the pill embryos inside the furnace.

I truly haven't systematically learned more techniques and such yet.

But based on my Spiritual Power, my First-grade Alchemist-level Pill Sense, and my "experience"...

Whenever there was the slightest disharmony, Su Ye struck with several palms. His exquisite control of force displayed astonishing results at this moment!

At this moment, Su Ye was like those people born with a natural ear for music. He could detect the slightest wrong note, then use his control of force to smooth away the flaws and bring the rhythm back into alignment!

Several minutes passed!

Su Ye exhaled a breath of hot air. A sharp gleam flashed in his eyes as he struck with his final palm!

Now!

The Alchemy Furnace opened!

Within it, a round, blackish-red pill shimmered with light!

"This is... a First-grade Blood Strengthening Pill?"

Even Luo Ding's voice had become somewhat dry.

One word stirred up a thousand waves!
