The Miteer Family's Doubts! A Fifth-Rank Alchemist?

Ya Fei looked at Yao Chen before her, feeling very confused.

She wondered in her heart if this alchemist before her was truly a Fifth-grade Alchemist. If so, it would be incredible.

After all, even the Pill King Gu He, renowned throughout the Jia Ma Empire, was only a Sixth-grade Alchemist.

How could Ya Fei not be shocked and excited to find a Fifth-grade Alchemist in the small Miteer Wutan City?

Therefore, her resolve only grew stronger.

"I must find every way possible to build a good relationship with this alchemist, no matter what they need, I will do my utmost to satisfy them!"

"Can you help me get these medicinal ingredients?" Yao Chen asked Ya Fei.

After all, the Miteer Family was behind Ya Fei. While these ingredients were precious, they weren't impossible to obtain.

"Yes, Mr. Yao, please rest assured. I will do my best and gather all the medicinal ingredients within seven days," Ya Fei replied excitedly.

Over the next seven days, Ya Fei employed every means and method, managing to secure most of the medicinal ingredients.

However, the Fifth-grade Monster Core was not so easy to come by.

She even made a special trip to the imperial city of the Jia Ma Empire, to the Miteer Family.

After much effort, she obtained the Fifth-grade Monster Core, but she also faced considerable doubt and opposition from within the family.

"What? Your small Miteer Wutan City, just a tiny place, has a Fifth-grade Alchemist? Ya Fei, you must be exaggerating."

Despite the many voices of doubt within the family, Ya Fei firmly told them.

"If, later, that gentleman cannot refine a Fifth-grade Pill, I, Miteer Wutan City Auction House, am willing to pay any price."

Ya Fei fully believed that Mr. Yao would not disappoint her.

"Very well, you said it. We will definitely come to Miteer Wutan City to attend the auction. I want to see if this small, insignificant place truly has a Fifth-grade Alchemist."

"A Fifth-grade Alchemist is considered top-tier, even in the imperial city of the Jia Ma Empire, second only to Master Gu He."

"Would an alchemist of this caliber deign to stay in a place like Miteer Wutan City?"

Many within the Miteer Family expressed their doubts.

As for Miteer Tengshan, his expression also turned serious.

If Ya Fei's words were true, he absolutely had to forge a good relationship with that alchemist.

It might bring considerable benefits to their Miteer Family, and he needed to plan accordingly.

By the tenth day, Ya Fei had already left the imperial city and returned to Miteer Wutan City.

She personally handed the final ingredient, the Fifth-grade Monster Core, to Yao Chen.

Then she said to him.

"Mr. Yao, these are all the medicinal ingredients required for the Fifth-grade Pill you are to refine. They have all been gathered. For this, I even made a special trip back to the imperial city, to the headquarters of our Miteer Auction House."

"I specifically obtained an extremely precious Fifth-grade Monster Core, and for it, I faced considerable doubt from my family."

"I only hope that you can successfully refine this Fifth-grade Pill."

"Once that happens, I believe there will be no more doubts from within the family."

However, Ya Fei was quite worried. Even if this alchemist before her possessed exquisite refining skills, and his rank had reached that of a Fifth-grade Alchemist, this was still a Fifth-grade Pill.

Refining a Fifth-grade Pill was inherently difficult. If he failed, she wouldn't be able to find another Fifth-grade Monster Core.

Therefore, it had to be a success on the first try, with no room for failure.

Although Ya Fei knew this was likely impossible.

In a sense, she was gambling.

If a Fifth-grade Pill were to appear in the auction house she managed, it would undoubtedly cause a sensation throughout the Jia Ma Empire, including gaining the attention of the Miteer Family behind it.

But if she failed, she would bear the weight of doubt.

Having wasted an extremely precious Fifth-grade Monster Core, it would be difficult for her to hold her head up in the family again.

Her efforts in Miteer Wutan City over the years would essentially be in vain.

Although Ya Fei lacked confidence, she still chose to believe.

"Mr. Yao, I believe you will not disappoint me."

After leaving the Miteer Auction House, Yao Chen went directly to the back mountain of the Xiao Clan.

It was a quiet place, where no one would disturb him.

It was the most suitable location for refining a Fifth-grade Pill.

Arriving at the clan's back mountain, Yao Chen extracted all the medicinal ingredients needed for refining the Fifth-grade Pill, the Heavenly Nourishing Gold Pill, from his Storage Ring.

He prepared to begin the refining process.

Although both were fifth-grade pills, the medicinal ingredients for the Heavenly Nourishing Gold Pill were much easier to gather than those for the Spirit Recovery Purple Pill, and there was also the sixth-grade pill, the Obstacle Breaking Pill.

Its efficacy might not be as significant as that of the Obstacle Breaking Pill.

But it could still restore most of the strength that had been sealed for some reason.

Xiao Yan was very surprised, he was shocked.

He murmured to himself.

"I didn't expect my teacher could refine fifth-grade pills?"

"Could it be that my teacher's alchemist rank in his lifetime was above fifth-grade, or even higher?"

Xiao Yan muttered to himself, and suddenly remembered.

Yao Chen had indeed said that the Pill King Gu He of the Jia Ma Empire was nothing.

So he said to himself.

"No wonder when I mentioned the Pill King Gu He, the foremost alchemist in the Jia Ma Empire, that day, my teacher looked down on him with such disdain."

"If my teacher was truly a sixth-grade or higher alchemist, then it's normal for him to not think highly of the sixth-grade alchemist, Pill King Gu He."

Xiao Yan was very excited.

He never expected his teacher to be so powerful; it seemed he had made the right choice in taking him as his master.

Yao Chen spent an hour.

Refining the fifth-grade pill, the Heavenly Nourishing Gold Pill, and put it into the space of his storage ring.

"Alright, the fifth-grade pill, Heavenly Nourishing Gold Pill, has been successfully refined. I can go to the Miteer Auction House and give it to Ya Fei for auction," Yao Chen said.

Then he immediately set off towards the Miteer Auction House in Wutan City.

After successfully selling the fifth-grade pill, he would also complete the mission and receive the mission rewards.

Walking on the road, Xiao Yan was extremely shocked.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it.

Even the Pill King Gu He, a sixth-grade alchemist, wouldn't be able to refine a fifth-grade pill so easily, would he?

Xiao Yan had been worried.

Because there was only one set of medicinal ingredients, if the refining failed, it would be over.

These medicinal ingredients were so precious; once the refining failed, the fifth-grade pill would be hopeless.

He never expected his teacher to succeed in one attempt, and so quickly and easily, with great ease.

In a short while, Yao Chen arrived at the Miteer Auction House.

And saw Ya Fei wearing a red qipao, sitting inside.

"Mr. Yao, we just parted not long ago, why are you here? Did the fifth-grade pill refining fail?" Ya Fei felt a chill down her spine.
