Chapter 3626: Taking a Master?!

The surrounding crowd was stunned.

No one could believe that what they were seeing was real.

It wasn't that they were shocked by Xiao Fan's Alchemy failing; rather, they were shocked that Du Xingwen and Ju Huaqing would bother looking at a ruined batch of pills!

One had to know that Du Xingwen and Ju Huaqing were both world-renowned Great Masters of Alchemy.

How could they not have seen in advance that the pills were ruined?!

But why did they stay?

Why were they still looking at a furnace of ruined pills?!

“Brother Bufan, you… this is such a pity.” Cang Wu sighed incessantly, shaking his head helplessly.

Of course, Cang Wu was actually happy on the inside.

After all, this meant he would be the only one to gain the appreciation of the two Elders, Du Xingwen and Ju Huaqing.

However, at that moment, a shocking scene unfolded…

“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”…

“Rumble!” “Rumble!”

The thick smoke dissipated rapidly, vanishing into the air, and then a dense Pill Mist wafted out from the Pill Furnace…

“This… this is?!” Cang Wu was greatly alarmed. He was all too familiar with this scene because it was exactly what happened when he produced a Pill Phenomenon earlier.

The others were also stunned.

“Is this… could it be another Pill Phenomenon?!”

“My God, no way… wasn't his batch of pills ruined?”

“This…”

“…”

The surrounding crowd's jaws dropped in shock, unable to believe their eyes.

“As expected, it succeeded…” The corners of Du Xingwen's mouth curled up as he looked at Xiao Fan with eyes full of appreciation.

Ju Huaqing was the same, his gaze toward Xiao Fan filled with praise…

“Condense!”

At that moment, Xiao Fan gave a sharp shout. In an instant, the rolling, dense Pill Mist formed into the phantom of an exotic beast, appearing vivid and lifelike in the air as if it had been endowed with life.

“What… what kind of exotic beast is that?!”

“I don't know… I've never seen it before.”

“…”

Everyone spoke at once, as the Pill Phenomenon Xiao Fan had summoned looked strange—resembling a Dragon, a tiger, a leopard, and a Phoenix all at once…

Du Xingwen and Ju Huaqing were utterly stunned because they knew that the Pill Phenomenon Xiao Fan had summoned was the legendary Pill Beast.

This kind of Pill Beast was only recorded in ancient texts; ordinary people simply never saw them…

“This… this is actually a Pill Beast…”

“I never would have thought…”

Du Xingwen and Ju Huaqing stood frozen in shock. Then, they saw the Pill Beast exhale, feeding the power of the pill fragrance back into the Medicinal Pills.

Immediately, the Cangmang Pills Xiao Fan had refined rose by another grade…

“Phew… it's done…” Xiao Fan wiped the hot sweat from his forehead and muttered to himself, “I haven't practiced Alchemy in years; I've grown rusty…”

Xiao Fan's voice wasn't loud, but the people nearby still heard him clearly.

Good heavens.

He hasn't practiced for years, yet the moment he does, he causes such a massive commotion?!

Cang Wu, in particular, felt like his molars were about to shatter from clenching his teeth after hearing Xiao Fan's words…

He had practiced Alchemy bitterly for years, yet this guy says he hasn't done it in years—it was simply outrageous!

In truth, they had no idea that Xiao Fan's so-called 'years' were actually hundreds or even thousands of years… If they knew, they would have been left speechless with shock.

Du Xingwen and Ju Huaqing immediately ran to the Pill Furnace in front of Xiao Fan to inspect the pills inside…

“Hahaha… Not bad, not bad at all! You truly have talent!”

“Good lad, impressive…”

Elders Du Xingwen and Ju Huaqing couldn't stop praising him. When they took out the pills, their jaws dropped.

Even if they were to refine Cangmang Pills themselves, they estimated the quality would be similar to Xiao Fan's…

Inside the Pill Furnace, there were still many Impurities, and there weren't many finished pills…

This was because, at the critical moment, Xiao Fan realized something had gone wrong with his refining. He used a Secret Technique to isolate the problematic Materials and then used his own spiritual energy to wrap them, preventing the damaged Materials from affecting the quality of the whole batch. That was why the thick smoke had appeared initially.

Of course, only Du Xingwen and Ju Huaqing understood this point.

What is talent?!

This is talent!

Xiao Fan bowed to Elders Du Xingwen and Ju Huaqing. Although he had been focused on his Alchemy just now, he was well aware of their identities.

“Greetings, Elders…” Xiao Fan spoke slowly, while sighing inwardly.

I was careless.

I was still too flashy…

He had originally wanted to keep a low profile, but his strength just wouldn't allow it!

“Hahaha… Lad, what is your name?” Du Xingwen laughed loudly and asked.

“My name is Bufan,” Xiao Fan replied with a smile.

“Bufan, Bufan… A good name. You are destined to be extraordinary in this life…” Du Xingwen nodded slowly.

“Hahaha… Lad, are you willing to take this old man as your master?” Ju Huaqing spoke up from the side.

Hearing this, everyone nearby was collectively shocked.

Taking a master?!

Is he crazy?!

He's asking him to be his disciple right away?!
