Chapter 442: 442 Unreal

442 Unreal

The old man was reeling from shock.

Originally, the reason why fifth-level alchemists like him had tuned in to see Yuchi’s assessment was, on one hand, to witness Yuchi’s growth, and on the other hand, to see Yuchi’s refining technique.

In the end, the old man was not the only one left stumped by Yuchi’s refining technique. The technique he had used was not mentioned in the study materials at all.

The whole refining process had been simplified by Yuchi. It would originally take 398 steps to refine this pill, but the amount of steps were reduced to 12 using Yuchi’s technique!

Goddamn it!

All it took was 12 steps to refine a fifth-grade pill!

The quality was impeccable!

This was enough to tell everyone that Yuchi was a complete monster.

Si Yuming definitely should not let such a monster escape. She had to stay by his side, or she would regret it for the rest of her life.

Si Yuming stood rooted to the ground.

Right now, her expression was completely devoid of any emotion. It all seemed like a dream, or an illusion.

Si Yuming thought for a moment.

Who was the person who had just spoken to her? It seemed to be her grandfather? However, her grandfather would not lose his composure like this.

Did he just personally ask her to pursue Yuchi? Did he ask her to shamelessly stay by Yuchi’s side?

That was impossible.

In the past, her grandfather had always been very concerned about her future partner. He had even told her to be very careful when she looked for a man.

At the very least, she had to get to know the other party thoroughly, observing him for at least a year while they were dating. Only after that was she supposed to consider the next step.

So why had all his advice gone out the window?

Also, her grandfather said something about simplifying?

398 steps had been simplified to 12 steps?

What was the meaning of that?

That was impossible.

It was understandable if 398 steps were simplified to 368 steps.

There was no problem with that.

However, if you were to say that you could simplify 398 steps to 12 steps, could that still be called simplification? That was akin to calling trimming and cutting off the roots the same thing. They were two entirely different things.

In other words, Yuchi could already use his own comprehension and methods to refine this kind of medicinal pill?

Could he even reduce the steps of pill refinement to such an extent?

Everything flashed across Si Yuming’s mind.

She stood at the side in a daze, watching Yuchi walk further and further away. In any case, there was no hurry. After all, Yuchi would be participating in the fifth-level alchemist assessment in seven days.

This would be an unprecedented feat if he succeeded.

There were really no words to describe it.

…

Everyone felt like they had lived through a dream.

They had seen and heard it with their own eyes, yet could scarcely believe it, much less comprehend it.

When they recalled Yuchi’s appearance, they shook their heads in disbelief.

No one could tell what kind of person Yuchi was.

It was as if Yuchi and them lived on two different space-time continuums. Were they even the same species?

There were many people who held that perspective.

If Yuchi’s performance was in line with their concepts of geniuses, things would be understandable.

However, Yuchi had completely broken the mold. Rather than being a genius, they felt that he was alchemy incarnate. He was perfection personified.

It was all too unbelievable.

No one could do such a thing.

No one dared to even fantasize about doing such a thing.

Yuchi had completely exceeded the expectations and wildest imaginations of everyone.

Time always passed by very quickly, and before they could recover from their shock, Yuchi was already taking the fifth-level alchemist assessment.

The high-level alchemists all turned out to watch, knowing that the final result would be the same.

Yuchi then obtained the identity of a fifth-level alchemist in an equally relaxed manner.

In other words, in less than half a month, Yuchi, who had never even heard of alchemy before, had become a fifth-level alchemist.

He was already standing at the top of the Alchemist Valley.

The dream continued.

Maybe it was a dream, which was what many people thought.

Such a person would never appear again in the future.

As for Yuchi…

He was thinking about something else.
