My wife who comes from a wealthy family-Chapter 798 - 799 First Time Alchemy

What?

A peer-to-peer relationship?!

Ye Wudao was truly frightened inside; he had not yet reached the Battle Saint realm, how could he dare to converse as an equal with an old oddity like Wudao who was in the Spirit Transformation realm?

Ye Wudao quickly supported Wudao, saying, "Teacher, I dare not! You are an elder, and you have saved my life and shown me favor. Besides, I am not even certain that my talent is really nine stars!"

Standing beside, Wu Youde ridiculed, "Hehe, this kid is right, a nine-star talent cannot be determined so carelessly! The old man thinks that today the talent sphere might be faulty, it could even be a fake talent!"

A fake talent?

Wudao’s eyes widened in anger; "Wu Youde, you’re talking nonsense, the talent sphere never makes mistakes!"

"Oh, is that so? Then how did this kid manage to break two talent spheres before?" Wu Youde mocked.

This...

Wudao paused for a moment, then asked, "So what do you propose?"

"If you want to know this child’s true talent, it’s simple!" Wu Youde said indifferently; "Let him compete with my disciple!"

"Compete?" Wudao quickly shook his head, saying; "That’s not fair! Wudao has not practiced alchemy yet, he knows nothing about any of it!"

"Hehe, how about this; my disciple won’t take advantage of him! Let’s just refine the simplest Grade 1 herbal medicine, shall we? Within three days, whoever produces more Grade 1 medicinal pills will be considered the winner!" Wu Youde said.

Wudao was about to speak but was interrupted by Wu Youde’s mockery; "If this kid really is a nine-star talent Alchemist, even if he doesn’t understand, he should be able to easily refine Grade 1 medicinal pills, right?"

This...

Wudao hesitated; he had to admit that Wu Youde made sense!

"Master, I can do it!" Ye Wudao said.

"Good!" Wudao nodded, saying; "Then fine, I agree to it!"

"Big brother, just a competition isn’t very interesting!" Wu Youde smiled, saying; "How about we bet on something?"

"What do you want to bet? Spirit Stones?" Wudao asked.

As someone whose lifespan was nearing its end, Wudao no longer cared for these worldly possessions!

"No, no..." Wu Youde waved his hand with a smile; "Although little brother’s fortunes can’t compare to big brother’s, I still have quite substantial wealth. Let’s bet on something interesting! For example, your Heaven Pill Manuscript!"

What?

The Heaven Pill Manuscript!

Wudao sneered, saying; "Your visit this time to ask me to return to the sect was a pretense, your real purpose is the Heaven Pill Manuscript, isn’t it!"

Wu Youde smiled, saying; "Big brother’s Heaven Pill Manuscript is coveted by Alchemists all over the world; little brother also can’t help but covet it..."

"Impossible!" Wudao refused without hesitation.

"Big brother, don’t be so hasty in refusing!" Wu Youde continued with a smile; "I can also offer one top-quality Grade 5 Life-Extending Pill and, for fairness, I will add ten billion Spirit Stones!"

What!

Wudao narrowed his eyes; what he lacked the most right now was lifespan!

A top-quality Grade 5 Life-Extending Pill could extend his life by ten years!

As for ten billion Spirit Stones, that was certainly no small sum!

Seeing Wudao’s hesitation, Wu Youde felt somewhat confident and continued with a smile; "It all still depends on the performance of the two children!"

Saying so, Wu Youde gave a meaningful glance to Xiao Feng!

Xiao Feng, fully understanding, put his hands on his waist and with a face full of mockery and disdain said to Ye Wudao; "Hey, junior brother, you’re the one tested with nine-star talent, aren’t you scared? Or maybe..."

Suddenly, Xiao Feng sneered; "Is your talent fake?"

Ye Wudao did not answer, his gaze turned to Wudao.

Wudao looked back at Ye Wudao with firmness in his eyes, saying; "Dao’er, I believe in you, let’s have a match!"

"Fine!" Ye Wudao nodded and faced Xiao Feng with a look of cold determination, saying; "I will compete with you!"

"Then let’s start now!" Wu Youde, seeing his goal achieved, continued; "Within three days, whoever of Xiao Feng and Ye Wudao produces more Grade 1 medicinal pills shall be deemed the victor! To ensure fairness, neither of you may leave this place!"

Wudao said; "I have several alchemy rooms here, you may choose at will!"

Outside the alchemy rooms.

"Master, we’re bound to win, I’m going in now!" Full of confidence, Xiao Feng swaggered into an alchemy room, as if he was certain to prevail over Ye Wudao.

"Wudao, don’t feel pressured, success depends on human effort!" Wudao looked at Ye Wudao with a concerned expression.

"Okay." Ye Wudao nodded, and under the gaze of both Wudao and Wu Youde, he entered an alchemy room!

Inside the alchemy room!

Inside, there were numerous alchemy materials available, as well as a huge black Pill Furnace!

"Master, do you really want to compete?" Xiao Ta asked curiously.

"Hmm, not quite skilled yet!"

Ye Wudao was still utterly confused about alchemy, so he immediately took out the Heavenly Elixir Manual from his body, sat down cross-legged, and started to observe it carefully.

Time ticked away second by second!

Half a day later.

"I’ve got it!" Ye Wudao put away the Heavenly Elixir Manual and wore a confident smile on his face.

He decided to craft a second-grade elixir called Strength Elixir!

As the name suggests, consuming a Strength Elixir would enhance one’s physical strength!

Conveniently, the ingredients for the Strength Elixir were available right in this alchemy room!

No time like the present to start!

Time flew by!

Three days later.

Wudao and Wu Youde stood still, one nervous and the other calm and collected!

"Master, I’m out!" Just then, Dao’er walked out of the pill room, carrying a pill gourd with a confident smile on his face.

"Dao’er, how did it go?" Wu Youde inquired.

"Master, I have crafted seven first-grade elixirs!" Dao’er confidently took out seven first-grade elixirs from the pill gourd.

"These are first-grade Qi-Gathering Pills; although they’re the simplest first-grade elixirs, being able to craft seven in three days is quite good, quite good indeed!" Wu Youde praised. Then, looking at Wudao’s nervous face, he laughed and said, "Big senior brother, even Ye Wu should be able to craft at least one first-grade elixir, right?"

"Haha, that clueless rookie, what use is his talent if he knows nothing? I’m sure, he wouldn’t have been able to make even one first-grade elixir!" Dao’er mocked.

"Haha!" Wu Youde burst out laughing.

Wudao’s face was tense, his palms sweaty.

Three days was too short for Ye Wu!

"Time is up!" Wu Youde announced.

"Haha, I knew that trash couldn’t make a single elixir!" Dao’er looked down with a winner’s smirk on his face.

"Ah..." Wudao sighed, a look of regret on his face.

Just then, an explosion came from the pill room.

"No good, could it be the pill furnace exploded?" Wudao panicked and quickly entered the pill room.

"Let’s go see the joke!" Wu Youde said to his disciple, and the two quickly went inside.

Inside the pill room!

The room was scorched, smoke swirling, the smell intensely acrid!

A young man, black all over, was sitting in front of a charred pill furnace, looking utterly disheveled. Upon seeing Wudao appear, he immediately stood up and said, "Master..."

"Haha, kid, were you practising alchemy or demolishing the house?" Seeing the scene, Wu Youde couldn’t help but laugh heartily.

"Just as I thought, this kid’s all flash and no substance—pretty on the outside but useless on the inside! Hahaha," Dao’er said disdainfully.

"Wudao, I don’t blame you!" Wudao said as he wiped Ye Wu’s soot-covered face gently and added, "Let’s go."

"Okay!" Ye Wu stood up.

"Hey, big senior brother, aren’t you supposed to hand over the Heavenly Elixir Manual now?" Wu Youde said with a sly grin.

"Exactly, grand-uncle, you wouldn’t renege on a bet, would you?" Dao’er chimed in.

"Alright, this old man will give it to you!" Wudao said, seeming to have aged a decade or more.

Meanwhile, Ye Wu sneered and said, "Why don’t you open the pill furnace and take a look?"

"Heh, what’s there to see in a pill furnace that’s about to explode?" Wu Youde ridiculed.

"Indeed, could there actually be a first-grade elixir in there?" Dao’er said, dismissive.

Ye Wu’s lips curved slightly upward as he said, "What’s the matter, Wu Youde, don’t have the guts to open my pill furnace?"

"Brat, how dare you talk to me like that? I am your senior uncle!" Wu Youde said angrily.

"Someone like you deserves to be my senior uncle?" Ye Wu held outright contempt for someone like Wu Youde and naturally didn’t show any respect.

"Dao’er, open this kid’s pill furnace!" Wu Youde ordered angrily.

"Yes, Master!" Dao’er immediately opened the pill furnace, his pupils shrinking suddenly, his body shaking.

"What’s the matter?" Wu Youde said, clearly displeased.

"Ma-master..." Dao’er was almost scared into stupidity, his body wouldn’t stop trembling as he said, "Th-there are second-grade elixirs..."

"What, second-grade elixirs?" Wu Youde couldn’t believe his ears and quickly said, "Open your eyes wider and look carefully!"

"Ma-master!" Dao’er’s face wore the expression of someone frightened out of their wits, he was both crying and laughing, his voice trembling as he said, "The whole furnace is full of second-grade elixirs..."
