1201 A Little Too Realistic!
Wang Teng looked up from the leather scroll. “There’s some difficulty.”
Based on his alchemy mastery, it would be difficult for him to refine this pill.
The process was extremely complex, requiring a few hundred types of spiritual herbs. The combination was tricky too. It couldn’t be compared with the other grandmaster-level pills.
This Xuanyang Soul Restoring Pill was probably at the eighth-grandmaster level. If one wasn’t at the peak of the grandmaster level, one wouldn’t be able to make it.
Wang Teng’s alchemy mastery was only at the beginner stage of the grandmaster level. Fourth-level pills were his limit. Without a doubt, he couldn’t refine this pill.
But…
“You can’t make it?” Veblen raised his eyebrows and asked.
General Cameron and Moira felt anxious too.
“If you can’t do it, we’ll have to send Di Qi back to the Great Qian Planet and invite another grandmaster alchemist to help,” Cameron pondered and said.
There were some alchemists in the military, but only a few grandmaster alchemists were available. They were all stationed in important locations. There was one on the No. 29 Defense Planet, but his mastery wasn’t up to the mark.
“That’s the only way,” Veblen said helplessly.
He had many methods, but he needed other people to realize them. Everyone’s ability was limited. Although he was full of knowledge, that was just the theory. He needed other people to put it into action.
“Erm… I might be able to refine it,” Wang Teng said.
Veblen: …
General Cameron: …

They felt that they were worried about nothing. Why didn’t he finish his sentence in one go?
He did it on purpose!
He must have done it on purpose.
“Are you sure?” Veblen asked.
“I can give it a try,” Wang Teng replied calmly.
“Di Qi can’t wait much longer. If he misses the best time for treatment, he will suffer from eternal side effects. The injury to his Origin Of Soul is too serious.” Veblen turned forlorn. “How confident are you?”
“About 80% to 90%,” Wang Teng replied.
Veblen: …
Was that called having some difficulty?
Do you have a misunderstanding of what difficulty means?
Everyone was at a loss for words.
“Wang Teng, Di Qi’s life is in your hands. You must think carefully,” General Cameron reminded him.
“Don’t worry. I know my limits.” Wang Teng nodded.
“Alright, you’ll be in charge of making the Xuanyang Soul Restoring Pill. When can you start?” General Cameron asked.
“We can start once all the ingredients are present.”

With his order as the supreme commander of the No. 29 Defense Planet, all the departments got busy.
The majority of the ingredients were consolidated and sent to Veblen’s laboratory. However, there were two special and rare ingredients.
The No. 29 Defense Planet didn’t have that many resources, so they couldn’t find these two ingredients.
“We still need the Xuanyang Flower and the Soul Thread Plant!” Veblen scanned through the ingredients and counted all of them.
“We don’t have these two ingredients on the No. 29 Defense Planet,” General Cameron replied with a bitter smile.
“Wait, I think I saw them before.” Wang Teng frowned.
“You’ve seen them before?” General Cameron and Veblen were startled.
“Let me take a look.” Wang Teng sifted through the space ring he got from the Flaming River Universe Lord. His eyes lit up.
The next second, two jade boxes appeared in his hand.
He opened the boxes. The Xuanyang Flower and the Soul Thread Plant were laid inside.
The Flaming River Universe Lord had left many spiritual herbs. These two were part of his collection. Wang Teng didn’t use them often, so he didn’t think they would come in handy now.
“Seriously!” Veblen was speechless.
He knew how rare these two ingredients were. It would be a feat trying to find these two ingredients outside the defense planet. Yet, Wang Teng had both of them.
Wang Teng didn’t know the formula of the Xuanyang Soul Restoring Pill, so he couldn’t have prepared them beforehand. This was a coincidence.
“Di Qi is quite lucky. I’ll be mad if he doesn’t thank me properly after he wakes up.” Wang Teng glanced at the two spiritual herbs and felt a little heartache.

Miser!
However, she was also surprised when Wang Teng took out these two herbs. This fellow always gave people surprises.
“Don’t worry, Di Qi is a direct descendant of the Cavendish family. They will reward you for saving him and using the spiritual herbs on him,” General Cameron said. He felt speechless too.
Wang Teng smiled and kept quiet. General Cameron didn’t know his relationship with Di Qi. He was just joking.
“Cut the crap and refine the pill,” Veblen urged him.
“Is there an alchemy room here?” Wang Teng asked.
“Yes, follow me.” General Cameron brought them out of Veblen’s laboratory and to the alchemy room.
The alchemy room was situated in a huge building at the back of the base. There were many alchemists entering and leaving the building.
The No. 29 Defense Planet was where they resisted dark apparitions, so naturally, there were injured martial warriors every day. Alchemy rooms were a necessity and so were alchemists.
However, there was only one grandmaster alchemist here. General Cameron informed the other party along the way.
The instant they reached the entrance of the building, a figure walked over to welcome them.
“General Cameron!”
This was an old human with white hair and a face full of wrinkles. He wore the alchemist uniform and treated General Cameron and Veblen politely. However, a hint of arrogance could still be detected in his expression. He must have lived a good life.
“Grandmaster Speanburg!” General Cameron greeted him politely too. “We need to make a grandmaster-level pill, so we have to borrow your room.”
There were requirements for the alchemy room when making grandmaster-level pills. Ordinary furnaces couldn’t withstand the energy shock during the pill refinement. Only Grandmaster Speanburg’s alchemy room ticked all the boxes.
“General Cameron, you want to refine a grandmaster-level pill?” Grandmaster Speanburg was surprised.
“Yes.” General Cameron nodded.
“Which grandmaster wants to make it?” Grandmaster Speanburg scanned the crowd curiously.
General Cameron and Mister Veblen weren’t alchemists. He knew this clearly. That meant that it was one of those two young people. But they were both so young. How could they be a grandmaster alchemist?
Grandmaster Speanburg subconsciously removed Wang Teng and Moira from his list.
“He’s the one.” General Cameron pointed at Wang Teng.
“Oh?” Grandmaster Speanburg couldn’t hide his astonishment this time. He frowned and asked, “General Cameron, are you joking with me?”
“Grandmaster Speanburg, my name is Wang Teng. I have been acknowledged by the Secondary Career Alliance.” Wang Teng stepped out without waiting for General Cameron’s reply.
“Wang Teng.” Speanburg spent most of his time on the No. 29 Defense Planet. Moreover, the Secondary Career Alliance purposely concealed Wang Teng’s information, so not many people knew about him.
“I know the majority of the grandmaster alchemists of the Great Qian Empire, but I’ve never heard about you.” He was puzzled.
“I just got recognized not long ago.”
“Do you mind if I check?” Grandmaster Speanburg hesitated.
He didn’t want to suspect him, but Wang Teng was too young and looked a little unreliable. He couldn’t believe everyone that ran over and told him he was a grandmaster.
Even if he was brought over by General Cameron and Mister Veblen, he still had his doubts. They weren’t in the same industry as him anyway.
“Please.” Wang Teng smiled.
Speanburg felt a little more confident after seeing his nonchalant expression. However, he still checked it.
He walked to the side and contacted a grandmaster. Soon, he found Wang Teng’s information.
He looked at the profile picture. It was the same, as young as the person in front of him. Wang Teng’s assessment process and the pills he had made were also recorded.
Speanburg was flabbergasted. He took a deep breath and didn’t know what to say. He felt that he had wasted his few hundred years in the universe.
This young man’s achievements had already surpassed his. What right did he have to be proud of?
After some time, Speanburg came back. The arrogance on his face had disappeared, and he was beaming like a blossoming flower. “Grandmaster Wang Teng, it’s my honor to meet you.”
“Me too, me too!” Wang Teng replied with a smile. Never slap a person who smiles.
The other three people were speechless when they saw the drastic change in Grandmaster Speanburg’s attitude.
How realistic!
This was a little too realistic.
At the same time, they finally believed that Wang Teng was a real grandmaster alchemist. He didn’t lie.
Why else would Grandmaster Speanburg treat him like this?
He had put himself in a lower position. Normal people wouldn’t receive such treatment. They knew how proud grandmaster alchemists were. If Wang Teng’s mastery didn’t exceed his, Grandmaster Speanburg wouldn’t have this attitude.
“Grandmaster Speanburg, I need to refine a pill urgently. Can I borrow your alchemy room?” Wang Teng asked.
“Of course. It’s my honor to have you use it.” Grandmaster Speanburg smiled and lifted his hand. “Please follow me.”
The two of them walked into the building and headed toward Grandmaster Speanburg’s alchemy room.
The three people behind them suddenly realized that Wang Teng was more popular here.
