Chapter 678 633: The Saintess's High Regard, Health Preservation and Longevity

"Holy Daughter, Pharmacist Yang Chan has passed the Third Level Alchemist assessment and has received his Third Level Alchemist Identity Token from Vice Pavilion Master Zhao!"

"He succeeded in refining the Seven Revolutions Nourishing Organ Pill on his first try, and the resulting pill was of Top Quality. Vice Pavilion Master Zhao thinks very highly of him."

"However, he hasn't been assigned a position yet. According to Vice Pavilion Master Zhao, he needs to discuss the arrangements for Pharmacist Yang with the other Pavilion Masters!"

After completing their task, Feng Anliang and Sikong Qing did not return directly to Xuanjin Peak, but instead went to the Saintess's residence.

In the Merak Sacred Land, the residences of the Saint Son and Saintess were very special, located in extremely prime locations where the Spiritual Qi density was exceptionally high.

Although they didn't have their own individual peaks, their residences were still considered very special. The Cultivation environment alone was far superior to many other places; even the locations of many Peak Masters could not compare. And this was only one of their many benefits.

Feng Anliang now began to report his findings.

He had naturally completed the task assigned by the Merak Saintess at the first opportunity and was now reporting back.

Although he was a Direct Disciple of Xuanjin Peak, the difference in status between him and the Merak Saintess was still vast, as was their standing.

Within the Merak Sacred Land, the status of the Saint Son and Saintess was roughly equivalent to that of the Peak Masters—specifically, the ones with extremely high Cultivation. That was without even mentioning their potential, which few dared to ignore.

The members of the Merak Sacred Land were selected from hundreds of millions of people, and only the most elite among them could join. To reach the level of a Saint Son or Saintess meant one was a figure seen only once in several decades. After all, they were individuals who had distinguished themselves from countless prodigies, making them all the more extraordinary.

To become a Saint Son or Saintess, one's Talent and aptitude had to far exceed the ordinary.

'The Seven Revolutions Nourishing Organ Pill... a successful refinement on the first try, and a Top Quality pill at that!'

'This Yang Chan is even more outstanding than I expected!'

A strange light flashed in the eyes of the Merak Saintess, He Zixuan, who was sitting cross-legged. She clearly hadn't expected Yang Chan to perform so well.

According to the information she had received, Yang Chan hadn't been an Intermediate Pharmacist for long. To be precise, he hadn't been involved with the Pharmacist profession for long at all.

He had been unremarkable back in the Cyan Yuan Sect and had only soared to prominence after becoming a Pharmacist.

He had left a small impression on her back in the Purple Void Secret Realm. To put it nicely, he was steady; to put it bluntly, he was overly cautious. His demeanor made him stand out among those who had entered the Secret Realm, which was the only reason she remembered him at all. She never imagined, however, that his Talent as a Pharmacist would be so outstanding.

She naturally understood the significance of being able to refine a Top Quality Seven Revolutions Nourishing Organ Pill. Combined with Yang Chan's current age and the short time he'd been a Pharmacist, it only further highlighted his incredible Talent in the profession.

The Talent he was now displaying would place him among the absolute best in the Merak Sacred Land's Inner Pill Pavilion. He was leagues better than that Genius Pharmacist who had sided with the Merak Saint Son.

Yuwen Ze had become an Advanced Pharmacist at the age of nineteen. Such Talent had been beyond most people's expectations, earning him the title of genius.

Of course, this was also related to him having a Vice Pavilion Master of the Pill Pavilion as his master and the powerful Yuwen Family backing him. He was provided with all sorts of Spirit Medicines, had access to the best resources, and had famous masters to guide him whenever he hit a bottleneck. All this made him truly outstanding.

It was under these conditions that he managed to advance to Advanced Pharmacist at nineteen, making him the youngest Advanced Pharmacist in the Merak Sacred Land. One could say his potential was limitless.

But even so, after becoming an Advanced Pharmacist, he seemed to have hit a bottleneck. Four years had passed, and he still hadn't succeeded in refining a Bone Marrow Cleansing Level elixir. This was despite having many famous masters, and even a Top Level Pharmacist like a Vice Pavilion Master, guiding him.

Just as there are bottlenecks in Martial Arts Cultivation, so too are there bottlenecks for Pharmacists. Some bottlenecks can be broken with external help, but others are difficult to overcome and can only be conquered through one's own efforts.

As far as the Merak Saintess knew, the Genius Pharmacist, Yuwen Ze, had long been able to produce a satisfactory Seven Revolutions Nourishing Organ Pill. However, his success rate at producing a Top Quality version was not high. This was a major reason why he had been unable to successfully refine a Bone Marrow Cleansing Level elixir.

The more advanced the elixir, the more it required not just countless practice attempts, but also that little bit of "Pill Sense." Only with that could one successfully break through a bottleneck; otherwise, one would remain stuck indefinitely.

At the Advanced Pharmacist Level, being stuck at a bottleneck for four years was actually not a big deal. In the Merak Sacred Land, there were plenty of Advanced Pharmacists who had been unable to break through their bottlenecks for over a decade, or even several decades.

The situation of this Genius Pharmacist of the Merak Sacred Land was nothing special.

Therefore, when the Merak Saintess learned that Yang Chan had been promoted to Advanced Pharmacist, she hadn't looked down on him, but she had assumed his ability was likely far inferior to Yuwen Ze's. She never expected him to give her such a huge surprise.

To succeed in the Pill Pavilion's assessment by refining the Seven Revolutions Nourishing Organ Pill on the first try—and producing a Top Quality pill at that—meant that Yang Chan's Alchemy Ability was superior to that of the Genius Pharmacist, Yuwen Ze. At the very least, they were on a similar level.

Although Yang Chan had advanced to Advanced Pharmacist later than Yuwen Ze, the potential he displayed was even greater. Furthermore, their circumstances were different. After all, she knew that Yang Chan had access to very few alchemy resources—certainly far fewer than Yuwen Ze—which only served to further highlight how extraordinary he was.

The comparison made the vast difference between them clear, and that was precisely the case now.
