Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 368 - Saint Alchemist (II)

"I do not know but it will certainly be interesting if he did."

"True. In the past two generations, Fu Caiyun was the only person in the Origin Dao Pill Sect that became a Saint Alchemist in the Divine Body Realm. If Lou Cheng managed to succeed, with the latter\'s small mind, his chances of surviving are really small."

"Not necessarily." replied the red robe elder. "The Supreme Elders have tolerated Fu Caiyun\'s destructive ways because of his talent. If this Lou Cheng shows as much talent as him, they could use him to balance him."

"You are too optimistic about the situation. There is currently only three Tier 6 Quasi-Emperor Alchemist in the sect. One of them decided to remain neutral, the other one is fully devoted to the growth of the Origin Pill Dao Sect, and Fu Caiyun is the youngest one.

"From recent rumors, Fu Caiyun\'s success rate seems to have recently surpassed the other two. This is enough to drastically increase his influence."

The two elders became quiet for a moment before deciding to talk about something else. These two were high members of the Alchemy Association and were heading to the headquarters to serve as judges.

Based on the rules, when someone wants to become a Saint Alchemist, the judges of the test have to be of the same level.

Because these two old men lived a little far away, they were the last to arrive. The Alchemy Association Main Brach was located at the foot of the Origin Pill Dao Sect.

So, as soon as they arrived, they rushed to the location. To their surprise, they discovered two unexpected people: Ye Lao and Fu Caiyun, both with serious looks on their faces.

After thinking about it for a while, it made sense that they were here. Ye Lao was a Supreme Grade Alchemist and should not care about a little Saint Alchemist.

However, it was his disciple involved so he came. As for Fu Caiyin\'s presence…

The two elders looked at one another for a moment and a playful smile could be seen on their faces. They quickly approached the two to salute. Although these two were the same generation and have the same cultivation level, it did not change the fact that they were not in the same league when it came to Alchemy.

So, they had to respect their betters.

Fu Caiyun just glanced at these two before ignoring them. Both of them were not surprised by this. By now, the latter\'s reputation as being extremely arrogant was already known to the world.

Once the red robe old man turned his head away, a small smile could be seen on the corner of his mouth. He could not help but think about what happened a few hundred years ago when it was revealed that Fu Caiyun\'s wife had placed a green hat on his head.

This was a major scandal. Although the Origin Pill Dao Sect did their best to reduce the impact of the scandal, however, things instead escalated for a while.

It was revealed that Fu Caiyun\'s wife was very resentful of his treatment of her and decided to make him pay. So, she slept with many people as a form of revenge–not just the Academy\'s Teacher.

This was a shock in the Alchemy World. Luckily, Fu Caiyun was ruthless in the way he handled the situation. All the people who had weak backgrounds were quickly killed.

As for the powerful one, he used his massive wealth and resources to essentially end the career of these people. From now on, these people would never exit their sect.

To the outside world, they are essentially dead. Many of them quickly sealed themselves to become their faction\'s foundation and escape the situation.

The two elders quickly saluted Ye Lao before taking their position and waiting for the assessment. Although the sect master was more approachable, these two knew that it was best not to be too close to him given his current predicament.

Although these people did not like Fu Caiyun, they could not ignore his influence.

A few minutes passed before it was time for the test. There was 7 Saint Alchemist along with Ye Lao and Fu Caiyun. Soon, Wang Wei walked into the room. He first bowed to his master before bowing to the other judges.

Then, he glanced at a Fu Caiyin before beginning. He took out a talisman and activated it. An invisible barrier was placed to surround him. This barrier will allow the judges to use their Divine Sense to check his work but if they try to interfere in any way possible, the talisman will activate to protect Wang Wei.

Fu Caiyun squinted his eyes after seeing this. He understood that Wang Wei\'s action was directed at; he was basically insinuating that he did not trust him a judge.

Despite his arrogance, he was also a shred person so he would never try t cheat in such a test where many people were paying attention to. And Lou Cheng should know this fact yet he still did this.

Fu Caiyun snorted inside while also secretly sneering; he did not think that this Lou Cheng could refine a Saint Pill. Many years ago he had already tested the latter\'s talent.

Besides his somewhat above-average flame control, there was nothing remarkable about him. Just the fact that he became a Tier 3 Alchemist was already shocking enough.

Fu Caiyun gave a side glance a Ye Lao. To him, Lou Cheng was nothing but a puppet created by Ye Lao to fight him. Even his recent increase in Alchemy Talent might be related to him.

\'Let\'s see what this kid is made of,\' thought Fu Caiyun with no expression on his face.

…

After Wang Wei made sufficient preparation, he took his cauldron along with the materials. He placed them in the cauldron and used his flame to remove the impurities.

One by one, he purified the materials. Over the years, Wang Wei has been practicing Alchemy with the Heavenly Destruction Flame to train his control. On top of Lou Cheng\'s Innate Talent, he accomplished a lot.

The process took two days before being completed. Then, Wang Wei mixed the purified herbs with the appropriate ratio. He was so detailed in the ratio that all the judges immediately began to pay attention.

"Is that…"

"Yes, it should be his Innate Talent," replied one of the judges. Although no runes appeared on Wang Wei\'s body like in the Supernatural Realm when using his talent, the people could still tell based on his aura and the fluctuation of his origin essence.

The shock of the judges did not end here. After using the perfect ratio for the pill, Wang Wei began to engrave the runes. However, his engraving could also be described as perfect, or better yet, precise.

It was like he completely knew the exact amount of spiritual power required to engraved every single line in the runes; he did not hesitate nor did pause or made mistakes.

Envy appeared on the face of the judges; this kind of talent was too perfect for Alchemy. However, they quickly shook their heads to remove this emotion.

The Innate Talent was one of the great things about the Origin System. It can allow a mediocre person to change their destiny. However, it still requires the person to develop.

Obviously, Lou Cheng not only found a direction to develop his talent but also found a way to do it.

While these judges were deep in their thoughts, Wang Wei was more focused on the task at hand. With deep concentration, he focused on engraving the runes.

By the time he engraved ten million divine runes, his complexion was already pale because of the depletion of his spiritual energy. Anyone whit discerning eyes could see that this was his limit, the limit of his cultivation realm and talent.

With Wang Wei\'s soul, he did not have such a problem but the same cannot be said for Lou Cheng. Luckily, he was prepared.

He touched his cauldron and activated the formation inside. Immediately, the spiritual energy stored inside entered his body and replenish it. That way, he could engrave more runes.

That way, he continued his engraving. Every time he was depleted, the cauldron would activate on its own and send spiritual energy to help him.

That way, Wang Wei engraved 80 million divine runes before the energy stored inside was depleted. Unfortunately, this was not enough to be counted as a Saint Pill.

The lowest Saint Pill required 100 million runes, and anything below that will be counted as Semi-Holy Pills.

Once the spiritual energy was depleted, a pill suddenly came from the cauldron, turned into a mist, and entered Wang Wei\'s body. This pill quickly replenished his spiritual energy.

According to the Association Rules, this was allowed. However, few Alchemists could do such a thing because the rapid increase in spiritual power usually makes it very difficult to control and thus engrave runes.

Fortunately, Wang Wei had perfect control over his spiritual power. So, with the aid of a few pills, he quickly finished engraving the 10th million runes. And by then, Wang Wei looked pale as a paper.

He had a terrible migraine; he felt that his head was about to burst. As a body refiner, Wang Wei was used to pain, but most physical pain. Because of his strong pain, he rarely felt that kind of spiritual pain.

Using his strong will, he resisted fainting as he knew that things were not over.

One of the reasons that Heaven Grade Pill and above can only be refined by Void Shattering Realm Cultivator is because of the Law. An alchemist is required to use their own Law to resonate with the Law of Heaven and Earth to baptize the pill and perform the final transformation.

However, a person of low cultivation like Wang Wei does not even have a Primordial Spirit to see the Laws between Heaven and Earth. So, they have to rely on their feeling or instinct to guide the Law Baptisement.

This requires very high talent.

Immediately, Wang Wei popped another pill in his mouth. His complexion once again became rosy and full of energy. However, he knew that this was only temporary.

So, he quickly closed his eyes and begin to guide the Law Baptisement Process. All the judges in the room became extremely quiet as they waited for the final outcome.. They did not even dare to use their Divine Sense to spy on Wang Wei.
