Chapter 81: Chapter 81 Trials of the Four Great Empires (5)_1
"He Lian, don’t you look down on people!" Mo Feng said, displeased, as he saw He Lian’s disdain for Dugu Qianye.
"Mo Feng, although you can refine top-grade elixirs and we all admire you for that, you shouldn’t blindly believe in her just because she’s your sister! This is about our future prospects."
"Aside from my sister, no one dares to say they can help you advance a grade in such a short time."
"Yeah right, you must be joking. How old is your sister, and is she even an alchemist?" said He Lian.
"He Lian, isn’t it? A 25-year-old, third-grade alchemist, you do indeed have the capital to be arrogant." Dugu Qianye was not angry, "I said I would help you improve and I won’t go back on my word. Of course, that’s assuming you’re willing to put in the effort. You doubt whether I’m an alchemist? Let’s go next door and put it to practice, and meanwhile, let’s see what your alchemy level is like."
Calling it a small alchemy room was only in comparison to the previous one; it contained just a few suites with several furnaces prepared inside. In reality, it was quite spacious.
Dugu Qianye casually picked some herbs, entered a room, and carelessly refined a fourth-grade top-grade elixir. Although she seemed very nonchalant, the expressions on the faces of the other four did not look good.
He Lian, seeing the elixir in Dugu Qianye’s hand, was full of shame and said, "I didn’t expect you to really be an alchemist, and at such a high level. I apologize for my attitude earlier." Then he bowed to Dugu Qianye. The other three also bowed, and although they didn’t speak up, their hearts had been filled with doubt as well. They all admired the strong!
Dugu Qianye nodded in satisfaction at their actions. Being able to recognize and correct mistakes, their character wasn’t bad. If they were still unwilling to admit their errors now, then she would have considered replacing them.
"Alright, I’ll let bygones be bygones as long as you put in the effort from now on. Now, go and refine the highest grade elixir you can currently make. Mo Feng, you don’t need to practice."
"Qianye, did you guide Mo Feng in alchemy?" asked He Lian. Seeing that she could refine top-grade elixirs and although Mo Feng could refine too, his grade wasn’t as high. When Dugu Qianye nodded, He Lian went to refine an elixir with complex thoughts.
After observing their alchemy, Dugu Qianye noticed they all had common deficiencies, such as poor purification rates of the herbs, flashy but impractical movements that looked professional but actually affected the condensation of the elixir, and more. She listed their shortcomings and indicated that she would teach them better techniques in the future.
The next day, with the help from her teacher, she selected artifact refiners and beast tamers. The highest-ranked artifact refiner chosen could refine mid-grade spiritual artifacts, and the top beast tamer could tame advance-level spiritual beasts.
With the right people selected, it was time to start training.
Since her own involvement in artifact refining was still recent, she invited Elder Hong from the Refiners Guild to give guidance to them.
Whenever she had time, she would also come to observe, and once when she saw them practicing ore purification, she conveniently shared her own insights, capturing their rapt attention. Carried away by her enthusiasm, she shared all her knowledge on each step of the artifact refining process. Her unique perspective and techniques even elicited endless praise from Elder Hong.
"I didn’t expect someone of your young age to have such unique insights into artifact refining. Very good, very good," said Elder Hong.
"I only learned it from Grandpa Youwu’s notes," Dugu Qianye replied.
The five students benefited greatly. In their later practices, they tried to follow her advice along with Elder Hong’s guidance, and almost all of them improved by one or two minor grades. Their admiration for Dugu Qianye grew even stronger.
For a Beast Tamer, she found a useful elixir prescription in the Shennong Cauldron, the Zengyuan Pill, which could enhance spiritual power by two to three levels, with a hundred percent efficacy and no side effects. After all, the most important aspect for a Beast Tamer is spiritual power. With this pill, a Beast Tamer’s abilities could significantly improve. It took her two days to research and successfully refine the pill. Holding the elixir in her hand, Dugu Qianye felt incredibly fortunate; had the pill’s grade been any higher than the seventh rank, she would not have been able to produce it herself.
If anyone else knew of her thoughts, those who were dead would be angered back to life. What kind of mentality is that?! A seventh-rank is considered low? That’s a level many alchemists spend their entire lives trying to reach!
There was actually another pill, the sixth-rank Auxiliary Spirit Pill, which also enhanced spiritual power. However, this pill’s effects were not very pronounced, and it had significant side effects; if one was not careful, instead of enhancing one’s spiritual power, one could end up addle-brained.
Dugu Qianye had no desire to ruin anyone’s prospects, so she dismissed the Auxiliary Spirit Pill right from the start.
She called five Beast Tamers to her office. When she first learned she had an office, she was quite surprised. Although it was only temporary, it still felt quite fantastic!
"Qianye, do you need something from us?" asked one of the students.
Dugu Qianye nodded and said, "You know that the most important thing for a Beast Tamer is to have high spiritual power. Therefore, the academy has found a way to enhance your spiritual power."
Upon hearing Dugu Qianye’s words, the five students became excited.
"Really?" the previously speaking student asked eagerly.
"Of course it’s true. However, I want you all to swear not to speak of today’s affairs, only then can I share the method with you," Dugu Qianye said.
After the five students each swore not to divulge today’s matters, Dugu Qianye took out the Awakening Spirit Pill from her Space Ring and distributed it to them.
"This is a top-grade Auxiliary Spirit Pill, which can increase spiritual power by two to three levels."
Because they had never heard of this kind of elixir before, the five students were somewhat hesitant; success would be great, but they didn’t know if failure would bring harm to themselves.
Dugu Qianye said nothing more and let them decide for themselves.
A short while later, a woman took out the pill and swallowed it. Then, she lost control over her spiritual power as it began to increase at a perceivable rate before it gradually subsided. Previously, she had struggled to tame Advanced Level Spiritual Beasts, but now, she felt even taming a Primary Level Holy Beast wouldn’t be a problem.
Seeing such positive results, the other four students eagerly ingested the pills. The elixir melted upon entering the mouth, leaving only a fresh fragrance. Before they could even savor it, they felt their spiritual power surging upwards. Unlike the Phantom Power progression, spiritual power increase lacked the grand Promotion Light and did not display levels. However, by simply standing next to a person, one could distinctly feel their change.
It took quite a while before the four of them concluded their spiritual power growth, their faces revealing their excitement. They now respected Dugu Qianye even more. This was not just about the current competition, but it would also take them much farther on their path of Beast Taming in the future.
She later thought of how both alchemists and Artifact Refiners also had a great demand for spiritual power, so she called over those ten individuals, made them swear an oath just the same, and then provided them with the elixir.
