Li Wen and Lin Yuan both came back to their senses.

The two looked at the childlike Yang Xiaotian before them, their eyes filled with complexity, disbelief, fervor, and mostly, astonishment.

“Child, how long have you been studying alchemy?” Li Wen was the first to speak up.

Lin Yuan also stared intently at Yang Xiaotian; this was also what he most wanted to know.

It had been just three months since he started practicing alchemy after discovering Hong Feng’s cave dwelling, but Yang Xiaotian still replied, “About three years.”

Nevertheless, both Li Wen and Lin Yuan were still incredibly shocked.

Three years to concoct superior-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, such talent was absolutely unparalleled in the Divine Sea Country for hundreds of years.

Many renowned pharmacists in the Divine Sea Country, who had been practicing alchemy for decades, could only produce superior-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid.

Because the top-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid was too difficult to successfully concoct, many pharmacists spent their entire lives trying without success, which was related to their innate soul perception.

“Who taught you your alchemy techniques?” Lin Yuan couldn’t help but ask.

As soon as he spoke, he saw his mentor Li Wen give him a sharp glance as a warning.

Lin Yuan was so frightened that he dared not ask any further questions.

A moment later, Li Wen personally issued Yang Xiaotian a one-star alchemist robe and a one-star pharmacist medal.

He warmly said to Yang Xiaotian, “Child, send my regards to your master. In the future, if you have any issues, you can come to me; if I am not in Divine Sword City, you can find Lin Yuan, or you can come to the Royal City to find me.” He then gave Yang Xiaotian an identity token, “This is my identity token, with it, you shall be treated as you would treat me.”

“With this token, you may enter and exit any Pharmacist Hall in the Divine Sea Country.”

Yang Xiaotian nodded, took the other party’s identity token and then handed a list of medicinal ingredients to Lin Yuan, “Does the Divine Sword City Pharmacist Hall have these materials? I wish to purchase them.”

He had bought many materials for concocting the Four Symbols Spirit Pill, but he still lacked seven types. These seven materials were very scarce and hard to come by in some trade associations.

Lin Yuan took the list of materials and looked at it with surprise in his eyes, but he still nodded, “The Pharmacist Hall has these materials. How much do you need?”

“How much is there? I’ll take it all!” Yang Xiaotian astonishingly declared.

Take it all?!

Li Wen and Lin Yuan were both astounded.

“These materials are not cheap. One set costs over a thousand gold, and there should be dozens of sets in the Divine Sword City Pharmacist Hall, totaling around fifty to sixty thousand gold. Are you sure you want them all?” Lin Yuan asked.

After all, fifty to sixty thousand gold was not a small sum.

“All of it!” Yang Xiaotian nodded.

He lacked precisely these materials, of course he wanted as much as possible.

With these materials, he could practice making the Four Symbols Spirit Pill.

Dozens of sets should allow him to concoct several top-quality Four Symbols Spirit Pills.

Hearing Yang Xiaotian insist on taking all, Lin Yuan took out all the Pharmacist Hall’s inventory with a mix of belief and doubt.

Yang Xiaotian took out over fifty thousand gold and took all the materials away.

Under the complex gazes of Li Wen and Lin Yuan, he left the Pharmacist Hall.

“A genius of the millennium!” Li Wen watched Yang Xiaotian’s departing slender figure and exclaimed in admiration.

“With Young Master Yang’s talent, I’m afraid it will only take another five years for him to be able to concoct the top-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid!” As Lin Yuan watched Yang Xiaotian’s figure, he too couldn’t help but exclaim in astonishment.

Five years, by then how old will Yang Xiaotian be? Thirteen!

Thirteen and able to produce top-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, Lin Yuan found this astonishing.

Yang Xiaotian had just left the Pharmacist Hall and didn’t get far before he ran into Cheng Beibei and Yang Zhong.

Seeing the two of them, it appeared they were here for the Pharmacist Hall as well.

When Cheng Beibei and her companion encountered Yang Xiaotian, they were quite surprised, then recalling that Yang Xiaotian had vowed to become an Alchemist while on the way to Divine Sword Academy, Cheng Beibei couldn’t help but burst into laughter, “Yang Xiaotian, don’t tell me you’re really here to take the Alchemist exam?”

Yang Xiaotian hummed, saying, “I have already successfully passed the examination.”

Cheng Beibei and Yang Zhong were startled, then Cheng Beibei couldn’t help but double over with laughter, “You? Passed the examination?”

Yang Zhong smiled and said, “Yang Xiaotian, you claim to have passed the examination, then how long did it take you to produce the Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid?”

“Less than half an hour,” replied Yang Xiaotian.

Less than half an hour!

Looking at Yang Xiaotian’s serious expression, Cheng Beibei found it even more hilarious.

“Originally, I was in a bad mood, but after hearing your words, I feel much better now,” Cheng Beibei said with a laugh, then to Yang Zhong, “Let’s go inside,” and she and Yang Zhong entered the Pharmacist Hall.

Her visit to the Pharmacist Hall, of course, wasn’t to take the Alchemy exam. Although she prided herself on her Alchemy talent, she knew she wasn’t yet at the level required for the examination. This time, she was there to meet her sister-in-arms, Chen Zihan.

Her sister-in-arms was a disciple of Lin Yuan and a one-star Alchemist in the Pharmacist Hall, as renowned as Qiu Haiqiu and hailed as one of the most talented young Alchemists in Divine Sea Country.

A moment later, Cheng Beibei met her sister-in-arms, Chen Zihan, and after a warm greeting, Cheng Beibei mentioned running into Yang Xiaotian at the entrance.

Upon hearing that Yang Xiaotian claimed to have passed the Pharmacist examination, Chen Zihan immediately shook her head, “Even in the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom or the Divine Dragon Empire, it’s impossible to have such a genius.”

“For countless years across our continent, there hasn’t been anyone who could pass the Pharmacist’s exam at the age of eight.”

She turned to Yang Zhong, “Since he is your cousin, when you go back, warn him not to falsely claim to be a Pharmacist of the Pharmacist Hall!”

Yang Zhong quickly nodded in agreement.

After returning from the Pharmacist Hall, Yang Xiaotian began practicing the Gale Thunder Sword Technique.

He first went through the technique from start to finish, memorizing the sword techniques and key principles before drawing his sword.

It wasn’t long before the sounds of thunder rolled through the courtyard, each of Yang Xiaotian’s sword strikes accompanied by flashes of lightning, which grew stronger with each practice session.

By noon, Yang Xiaotian’s sword radiated lightning up to three meters in length!

The Gale Thunder Sword Technique, which harnesses the power of Heaven and Earth’s thunder, makes sword strikes overwhelming, as if irresistible. Drawing upon the thunder is just the beginning; reaching a length of one meter indicates minor accomplishment.

Three meters represents great accomplishment.

Having reached this level of great accomplishment in the Gale Thunder Sword Technique, Yang Xiaotian did not continue practicing. Instead, he took out the medicinal ingredients and began concocting the Four Symbols Spirit Pill.

After a month of continuously crafting elixirs including the Dragon-Tiger Elixir, Yang Xiaotian’s Alchemy skills had improved significantly, his control over the Heaven and Earth Fire was remarkably precise, and his Alchemy techniques had also advanced. Thus, it took him only three hours to produce a Four Symbols Spirit Pill.

However, while the quality of this batch of Four Symbols Spirit Pill had improved, they still did not reach the highest grade.

Nevertheless, Yang Xiaotian wasn’t disappointed. He took a short break before continuing to concoct a second Four Symbols Spirit Pill, but again, the second pill was only at the peak of premium quality.

Seeing that night had fallen, Yang Xiaotian began to cultivate the Primordial Dragon Art, sitting cross-legged on the Cold Jade Bed.

Around him, the Qi flow was astonishing, forming four True Qi Dragons.

Having recently broken through to the fourth level of the Innate realm two days ago, he had awoken the power of four True Dragons.
