Chapter 796: Chapter 797 Test Alchemy Talent

"What?" Ye Wudao’s eyes widened in shock, his face unable to conceal the excitement, "You want to teach me alchemy?"

"Yes. My days are numbered!" Wudao Zi spoke, appearing increasingly aged.

"Master Wudao Zi, you are a great being of the Spirit Transformation realm, shouldn’t you have a long life, how can your days be numbered?" Ye Wudao asked, puzzled.

"Normally, a great being of the Spirit Transformation realm has a lifespan of three hundred years. I originally had thirty years left, but due to a near-fatal adventure in an ancient site in the Dragon Country, I suffered a hidden injury and now have less than five years left!" Wudao Zi said with a bitter smile.

What?

Five years left!

Ye Wudao was startled and quickly said, "Teacher, aren’t you an Alchemy Master? Shouldn’t consuming elixirs be beneficial?"

"Unless I can produce a Sixth Grade Superior Pill, nothing can extend my life!" Wudao Zi replied.

Sixth Grade Superior Pill?

Ye Wudao was taken aback and curiously said, "Didn’t you successfully produce a Sixth Grade Superior Pill in your early years?"

"Heh, lad, you don’t know how difficult it is to create a Sixth Grade Superior Pill. Not to mention it requires a massive amount of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, but also the right time, place, people, and good fortune. The one I made before was also a happy coincidence," he explained.

Pausing, Wudao Zi said with a bitter smile, "Regrettably, the Sixth Grade Superior Pill that I managed to make was stolen by that rebellious disciple, Li Tiandao!"

Ye Wudao understood.

Given Wudao Zi’s current condition,

it seemed nearly impossible for him to create another Sixth Grade Superior Pill!

"Teacher, don’t lose heart; with your strength, you can surely make another Sixth Grade Superior Pill," Ye Wudao said.

"I don’t have much time left. Producing an ordinary Sixth Grade Pill could take as short as half a year or as long as three to five years, while a Sixth Grade Superior Pill might take up to ten years!" Wudao Zi said with a bitter smile.

Hiss!

Ye Wudao gasped in shock!

To produce a Sixth Grade Superior Pill could actually take up to ten years!

Looking at it this way, Wudao Zi’s situation was indeed dire!

"Wudao, are you willing to inherit my mantle?" Wudao Zi asked solemnly.

"Disciple is willing!" Ye Wudao nodded emphatically.

No matter what, Wudao Zi was a respected Alchemy Master!

And he had saved his life!

Ye Wudao was more than happy to receive his complete teachings.

"Good!" Wudao Zi showed a satisfied smile.

Then, a cold sneer was heard: "I say, eldest senior brother, have you gone senile, accepting just any Tom, Dick, or Harry as your successor?"

Who?

Ye Wudao looked up and saw an elderly man in yellow clothes appear, accompanied by a disciple.

"Wu Youde!" Wudao Zi exclaimed in surprise, "What are you doing here?"

"Heh, just passing by and thought I’d come to see you!" the elderly man in yellow said and continued, "Eldest senior brother, only the Heavenly Elixir Sect can cure your condition now. Why not come back with me to the Heavenly Elixir Sect?"

"Shut up, don’t mention the Heavenly Elixir Sect to me!" Wudao Zi scolded angrily.

The elderly man in yellow sighed and said, "After all these years, you still haven’t let go of your grudge with the sect master!"

Turning to his disciple, the elderly man in yellow said, "Xiaofeng, haven’t you greeted your grandmaster uncle yet?"

"Disciple Xiaofeng, greets Grandmaster Uncle Wudao Zi!"

Wudao Zi nodded, then turned to Ye Wudao and said, "Dao’er, this is your uncle-master Wu Youde. He is the Fourth Elder of the Heavenly Elixir Sect in Dragon Country, and his cultivation has reached the pinnacle of the True Pill Realm!"

Ye Wudao bowed and said, "I greet Uncle-Master Wu!"

Wu Youde, naturally arrogant, looked at Ye Wudao with a sarcastic expression and shook his head, "I say, eldest senior brother, have you tested this lad’s talent yet?"

"Not yet!" Wudao Zi shook his head.

"Grandmaster Uncle Wudao Zi, this kid is full of the aura of slaughter, clearly a simple-minded, muscle-bound brute of a warrior, and definitely not alchemy talent!" Xiaofeng said disdainfully.

"Hold your tongue, this is not your place to speak!"

Wu Youde scolded his disciple Xiaofeng, then smiled at Wudao Zi, his smile concealing mockery, "Heh, great elder, please don’t mind it! Xiaofeng is young and straightforward, but he has extraordinary talent, scoring a five-star talent!"

What?

Five-star talent!

Wudao Zi’s face revealed shock, his eyes carrying a trace of envy.

No wonder Wu Youde had come today!

This was to show off his newly accepted disciple with a five-star talent!

"Teacher, what is a five-star talent?" Ye Wudao asked, clueless.

"You don’t know this?"

Xiaofeng looked at him disdainfully and said, "It’s no surprise you don’t know. After all, you are just a fake Saint-level trash. There are nine levels of talent for alchemists! They are rated from one to nine stars, where the higher the star level, the stronger the talent!"

So that’s how it is!

Wudaozi nodded and said, "Indeed, Li Tiandao is a five-star talent! Initially, when I saw his talent, I accepted him as a disciple, but who would have thought it would be nurturing a threat!"

Wu Youde laughed, "Ha ha, eldest senior brother, why don’t you pass the mantle to my beloved disciple Xiaofeng? There’s an old saying, ’The water from one’s own field should not flow into others’ fields’..."

"Shut up! Wu Lao Si, if you are here with such intentions, get out!" Wudaozi was furious, pointing his finger towards the door.

"Don’t be angry, eldest senior brother..." Wu Youde hurriedly apologized, and then said, "I was just joking with you. But don’t you want to test this lad? After all, this is an indispensable process for any Alchemist."

This time, Wudaozi did not get angry; every Alchemist must test their talent!

Alchemy is not like other professions!

You can spend arduous effort, practice diligently, and the early bird catches the worm!

Alchemy speaks most importantly of talent!

Either you have it!

Or you don’t have the talent!

"I have here a Talent Sphere for testing Alchemy talent!" Wu Youde took out a white glass sphere from his possession, smiling, "Lad, do you dare to take the test?"

"Hmph, he’s definitely a failure!" Xiaofeng crossed his arms, looking down on him with contempt.

"I dare!" Ye Wudao answered without hesitation.

"You little brat, don’t embarrass my eldest senior brother! If your talent turns out to be abysmal, and word of it reaches the outside world, it would tarnish the great reputation of Wudaozi, one of Dragon Country’s seven great Alchemy Masters. Can you bear that responsibility?" Wu Youde sneered coldly.

This...

Ye Wudao hesitated.

He was also unsure of his own talent!

Moreover, his teacher had a prestigious position in the Alchemy world!

The consequences of tarnishing his teacher’s name were unthinkable!

However, Wudaozi appeared as if he had seen through everything, and said, "Wudao, go ahead and test, no matter what your talent is, even if it’s poor, I have decided to take you as my disciple!"

"Alright!" Heartened by Wudaozi’s words, Ye Wudao then took a deep breath and declared resolutely, "Let’s begin!"

"Hmph, you little rascal, I knew you would humiliate yourself!" Wu Youde mocked, saying, "Place your hand on the Talent Sphere!"

Whoosh!

Ye Wudao took a deep breath, slowly raised his hand, and placed it on the Talent Sphere.

Wu Youde and his disciple looked at Ye Wudao with mockery and disdain.

Only Wudaozi was full of expectation.

Bang!

At that moment, the Talent Sphere suddenly exploded without warning!

"What happened?" Ye Wudao looked surprised.

"Damn, you little scoundrel, what trick are you playing? You actually blew up the Talent Sphere!" Xiaofeng said angrily.

"I didn’t do anything." Ye Wudao spread his hands, looking innocent.

"Let’s replace it with another Talent Sphere!" Wu Youde said, taking out another sphere.

As soon as Ye Wudao placed his hand on it, the new Talent Sphere exploded once more!

This time, even Wu Youde was enraged, "Little brat, what are you trying to do?"

"I really didn’t do anything!" Ye Wudao looked wronged, as baffled as a monk scratching his head.

"Wu Shidi, let’s switch to another Talent Sphere." Wudaozi spoke.

"Hmph, for the sake of my elder senior brother, I’ll give you one last chance!" Wu Youde took out a golden Talent Sphere, saying, "You little rascal, this is an advanced Talent Sphere, capable of withstanding the power of a True Pill realm peak expert, let’s see what mischief you can cause now!"

Ye Wudao, feeling helpless, smiled wryly and reluctantly placed his hand on this golden advanced Talent Sphere.

One minute!

Two minutes!

There was no reaction from the Talent Sphere!

"Master, this failure can’t even demonstrate any star level, ha ha, it’s hilarious!" Xiaofeng looked down on him, laughed until his sides hurt.

"Eldest senior brother, no offense, but while your Alchemy skills are unparalleled, your eye for disciples is terribly poor," Wu Youde mocked.

Wudaozi’s face grew somewhat somber.

Deep down, he too hoped that Ye Wudao had a good talent, even two or three stars would suffice; less than ideal, but still able to inherit his mantle!

In three to five years, he could die contented, smiling all the way to the afterlife!

Yet, Ye Wudao could not even demonstrate a single star!

"Teacher, I’m sorry!" Ye Wudao looked ashamed.

"Let it be, perhaps this was just my fate." Wudaozi looked dejected, slowly closing his eyes.

"You failure, remove your hand from the Talent Sphere, don’t defile my advanced Talent Sphere!" Wu Youde sarcastically said.

Just as Ye Wudao was about to remove his hand, suddenly, an unexpected change occurred on the advanced Talent Sphere...
