Genius Alchemist! The Fiery Director

Genius Alchemist! The Fiery Director

With the experience from the first attempt, Wang Chen's skill level had improved by leaps and bounds.

The knowledge in his mind was rapidly being transformed into his own strength.

The second pill had been successfully refined in just fifteen minutes.

The third pill had taken less than ten minutes, an undeniably huge improvement.

That was the power of a cheat ability.

With a vast amount of theoretical knowledge, getting started and improving was incredibly fast.

After packing everything away, Wang Chen took the first pill he had refined and headed out.

He planned to find the person in charge of the Alchemy Department.

After all, as a transmigrator, if he could get something for free, then of course he would.

Besides, this was not a bad thing.

Canaan Academy had enough medicinal ingredients, while Wang Chen had sufficient skill. It was a perfect combination.

Everyone could benefit from it.

He had chosen this pill because he only had three in hand, and this one was relatively the lowest-grade of the three.

With more experience later on, the quality of the pills Wang Chen refined had improved further.

This one was already shocking enough. There was no need to be too outrageous.

"You refined this?!!"

Looking at the pill in Wang Chen's hand, the middle-aged director simply could not believe it.

His eyes wide, he asked Wang Chen in utter shock.

Your cultivation talent was absurdly high—you had directly received the highest S-grade Potential Value.

That was certainly shocking, but it was not unheard of in this world.

Even within Canaan Academy, there were similarly promising students with S-grade Potential Value.

But now someone had come and claimed that, in just one week, an ordinary person who had never studied alchemy had become an alchemist capable of refining perfect pills.

How was the middle-aged director supposed to believe that?

As an alchemist himself, he knew very well how difficult it was to improve one's alchemy skills in the early stages.

No matter how talented someone was, it was absolutely impossible to reach the ranks within three to five months.

Yet, against all expectations, an alchemist who had reached the ranks in a single week had appeared here.

And not merely a simple first-grade alchemist. Judging from the pill's quality, he clearly possessed the skill of a second-grade, perhaps even a third-grade alchemist.

Was there any justice left? Was there any reason left?

We had struggled so hard to improve our alchemy skills back then, yet someone now had raised his skills so easily.

And this guy's cultivation talent was equally terrifying.

With both combined, were ordinary people like us supposed to have any way to survive?!

The middle-aged director stared fixedly at Wang Chen as countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

"Yes. This should count as getting started, right?"

Wang Chen answered directly.

The middle-aged director pinched the pill again and spoke.

"Are you sure? This is no joke! Alchemy cannot tolerate even the slightest falsehood."

The middle-aged director's expression was extremely stern, and his voice was equally solemn.

"Yes, I can guarantee that I refined this myself."

Wang Chen felt somewhat helpless, but he still confirmed it.

He also understood that it was indeed difficult for others to believe.

A normal alchemist, no matter how outrageous their talent, could never grow from nothing to something at such a terrifying speed.

Even Huohuo from the original story, personally taught by Venerable Yao, had not been as outrageous as Wang Chen was now.

But there was no helping it. Wang Chen had such an unreasonable cheat ability.

Naturally, he could accomplish things that ordinary people could never imagine.

It was just that he could not reveal the matter of his cheat ability, so Wang Chen could only endure this suspicion.

"Fine! Come with me."

After hearing Wang Chen confirm it repeatedly, the middle-aged director immediately called for Wang Chen to follow him.

Inside a small private room in the Alchemy Department.

"Refine one more here."

The middle-aged director took out three sets of medicinal ingredients and handed them to Wang Chen.

Clearly, the middle-aged director did not fully believe Wang Chen's word alone.

Still, that was normal. This was simply too outrageous.

Fortunately, he was not some arbitrary brute and did not immediately drive Wang Chen out.

Instead, he chose to personally assess him and determine exactly what level Wang Chen had reached.

"Alright."

In truth, when he arrived at the alchemy room, Wang Chen had already more or less guessed what the director was thinking.

But it did not matter. He had not lied anyway.

Wang Chen sat down cross-legged and began operating with practiced ease.

Seeing Wang Chen's skillful movements, the middle-aged director nodded in satisfaction.

Although he had yet to confirm Wang Chen's alchemy level, those movements alone showed that Wang Chen had some real ability.

He could not say what grade Wang Chen had reached, but it was certain that he had gotten started.

As time passed, the middle-aged director's expression changed from initial satisfaction to outright shock.

After fifteen minutes, a full and rounded pill appeared inside the pill cauldron.

After taking out the pill, Wang Chen walked over to the director.

"Please appraise it."

Only after hearing Wang Chen's words did the middle-aged director come back to his senses. He accepted the pill and began examining it.

In fact, there was no need for much testing. That medicinal fragrance alone was enough to determine that Wang Chen's pill was exceptionally perfect.

The middle-aged director kept inspecting it while muttering nonstop under his breath.

It was roughly the sentiment of, I may not understand it, but I am deeply shocked.

Seeing this, Wang Chen curled his lip.

If he had not deliberately held back, he could probably have finished refining it in just a few minutes.

The quality could even have been improved a little more.

But this was already enough. If he went any further, the middle-aged director's blood pressure might shoot through the roof.

"I want to..."

Having recovered his senses, the middle-aged director nearly blurted out a sentence.

"No! No! My level isn't enough to teach you!"

A sharp gleam burst from the middle-aged director's eyes as he stared intently at Wang Chen.

That gaze was like an old pervert who had been thirsty for decades spotting a stripper.

Any alchemist who witnessed Wang Chen's terrifying alchemy talent would want to take him as a disciple.

However, the middle-aged director was a true alchemist after all. He knew perfectly well that his own level was not enough to teach Wang Chen.

If he took Wang Chen as his disciple, he would only delay Wang Chen's growth.

He could not bring himself to do such a thing.

"Wait here! Just wait for me! Don't leave!"

With that, the middle-aged director dashed out at top speed.

He did not even bother closing the door. He directly summoned his Battle Qi Wings and flew away.

Seeing that, Wang Chen was somewhat surprised.

Originally, he had only wanted to obtain some medicinal ingredients and find an alchemy mentor.

With his Enhancement Ability, the alchemy inheritance of a fourth-grade alchemy mentor would already be enough for him to grow to the sixth grade.

By then, he would have developed enough to seek out the subsequent alchemy inheritances himself.

But the current situation had clearly exceeded his expectations. The talent he had displayed was still too outrageous.
