Protect Our Chief-Chapter 484 - 12: I, Wang Shouye, have suddenly become invincible?_3

"Immortal Gu, how many pills were formed?" Some of the big shots, being far away and having their view blocked by Dongfang Yuxi, couldn’t help but inquire curiously.

If it weren’t inconvenient to use Spiritual Sense in the Pill Workshop for fear of misunderstanding, they might have considered directly using it to spy.

"Formed pills..." Gu Hanyu lifted her gaze as she spoke, giving Wang Shouye a peculiar look, "Eight pills. Quality, excellent."

"What?! Eight pills?! And the quality is still excellent..."

The big shots present were instantly in an uproar.

Yuwen Jinghong, Qian Jingde, and other big shots exchanged glances and then all looked at Wang Shouye with peculiar expressions.

Forming eight pills, that is something only a veteran Third Grade Alchemist could achieve.

Dongfang Yuxi forming seven pills at the age of thirty-seven or thirty-eight already counts as a genius, yet Wang Shouye, who is even younger, can form eight pills. Isn’t that a bit excessively impressive?

How in the world has the Changning Wang Family nurtured such a genius?

"Impossible!! There must be a mistake!"

At this moment, Dongfang Yuxi finally recovered from the immense shock brought by the eight pills. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

He snatched the Pill Box in disbelief and picked up a pill for closer inspection.

However, the pill in his hand was glossy on the surface, with micro-glows swirling, and even faintly emitted a medicinal fragrance, clearly in its freshly refined state!

He checked one pill after another neurotically but couldn’t find any issue, causing his expression to gradually crumble.

He suddenly lost composure and roared at Wang Shouye, "You, you... didn’t you say you didn’t perform well?"

"Uh... I really didn’t perform well..." Wang Shouye scratched his head, looking aggrieved in the face of the roaring inquiry, "When I’m normally in good form, I can form nine pills most of the time. But this time, I was too nervous during Pill Collection, affecting my performance, so only eight pills came out."

Not performing well and forming eight pills, yet only "eight"?

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions, except Wang Shouzhe’s, became quite peculiar.

Dongfang Yuxi was even angered to the point of his hands trembling, nearly vomiting blood.

Forming nine pills in one go is the standard of a top-tier Third Grade Alchemist!

With such standards at his age and cultivation level, just announcing his achievement would have any Alchemy Grandmaster welcoming him to join their ranks, let alone Master Dan Ding.

Yet he still pretended as if he was about to lose, deliberately playing him. Is it fun to toy with someone? Fun, huh?!!

"Cough~ Brother Shouye, enough is enough." Seeing Dongfang Yuxi in such a state, Qiaan Xuefu couldn’t help but sympathize with him and secretly nudged Wang Shouye, "That kid Dongfang Yuxi is almost spitting blood from anger, stop intentionally provoking him. If you pi** him off to death, be careful the Dongfang Family comes after you."

"Brother Qian, it’s not like I purposely wanted to provoke him..." Wang Shouye said weakly, "I’ve just been focused on alchemy over the years, no one told me about other people’s alchemy levels... I truly didn’t expect his strength to be this weak."

"... Qiaan Xuefu’s mouth twitched uncontrollably, truly shocked, is such a thing even possible? This boy, training without knowing he became invincible."

For a moment, Qiaan Xuefu truly sympathized with Dongfang Yuxi.

Poor Dongfang Yuxi, if he hadn’t insisted on competing this time, wherever he went, he would have been praised, lamenting how he narrowly missed his chance.

But who could have imagined that the seemingly clumsy and weak Wang Shouye would actually be a rock-hard iron slab. Dongfang Yuxi’s kick landed directly, breaking his own foot.

Once today’s events spread, everyone would only say Master Dan Ding has sharp eyes, recognizing talent. They’d only say Dongfang Yuxi overestimated himself, clearly outmatched, yet stubbornly refused to admit defeat.

The hard-earned reputation of Dongfang Yuxi was instantly destroyed.

What rendered Qiaan Xuefu speechless was that the boy was clueless about his prowess...

Only Wang Shouzhe continued to maintain his usual composed demeanor.

What a joke, his seventh brother Wang Shouye nowadays has the Triple Separation Fire Bloodline. Nowadays, he refines over a hundred Great Essence Pill cauldrons a year, and the cost of materials exceeds two hundred thousand Qian Gold!

Moreover, he’s been refining for several years, and has not yet recouped the losses. It goes without saying, with such resource investment, even a pig would become proficient in alchemy!

Besides the Wang Family, who else could afford to spend so lavishly to nurture an alchemist?
