However, even though they were merely top-grade pills, the few people present were still visibly shocked.

Especially Xia Yuan, whose face was filled with disbelief, because even he himself couldn't possibly refine so many third-grade pills at once, and each one of them was top-grade quality.

Although he was a middle-tier third-grade alchemist, the success rate of pill refinement each time was only about 30%, and a batch of materials could produce at most five pills.

Moreover, most of the pills were only ordinary quality, and if he performed well and had some luck, he might produce one or two precious or top-quality pills.

As for top-grade pills, he had never successfully refined one.

Perhaps only those honored alchemists of the royal family could possibly refine top-grade pills.

"Ruoxie, I didn't expect your alchemy skill to be so extraordinary."

Xia Yuan looked at Wang Ruoxie with a glint of astonishment in his eyes and spoke.

Refining two types of pills simultaneously, and the success rate for each was extremely high; most importantly, all were top-grade pills.

He truly couldn't fathom the level Wang Ruoxie's alchemy skill had reached to achieve such astonishing results.

"Elder Xia, if you have any doubts in alchemy, I can help you resolve them."

After putting all the pills into his storage pouch, Wang Ruoxie smiled at Xia Yuan and said.

Confident in his alchemy skill, he believed he could guide even ninth-grade alchemists or pill saints.

Upon hearing this, Xia Yuan couldn't help but feel delighted; if someone else had said such words, he would surely scoff. Even the honored alchemists of the royal family wouldn't dare say this to him, at most suggesting mutual learning.

However, he had no doubts about Wang Ruoxie, having witnessed the other's superior alchemy skill far exceeding his own.

Immediately, without any hesitation, Xia Yuan began asking Wang Ruoxie all the questions he had encountered during past alchemy sessions and his numerous doubts about alchemy.

Wang Ruoxie answered each of Xia Yuan's questions with unparalleled ease, without holding back, he gave detailed explanations until Xia Yuan could truly understand.

The more Xia Yuan asked, the more amazed he became; he even felt like the young man before him was a master who had spent decades researching the Alchemy Dao, prompting him to show respect.

As time passed, the respect on Xia Yuan's face grew deeper and deeper, until eventually, his gaze at Wang Ruoxie carried a hint of worship.

At this moment, Tang Miaoyin seemed to witness a scene quite familiar, an elder over fifty questioning Wang Ruoxie respectfully like an apprentice.

Only this time, the elder was Xia Yuan, a third-grade alchemist, instead of Zhang Yun, a third-grade artifact master.

"This guy…"

Tang Miaoyin looked at Wang Ruoxie with eyes shining with wonder; she had never seen anyone who could command such respect from both a third-grade artifact master and a third-grade alchemist.

Recalling Wang Ruoxie's previous claim of "just knowing a little," she couldn't help feeling speechless.

Is this just knowing a little? Both third-grade artifact master Zhang Yun and third-grade alchemist Xia Yuan seemed like apprentices who knew nothing before Wang Ruoxie.

Zhao Huang, at this moment, was stunned, seemingly unable to recover from the dreamlike scene before him.

"Ruoxie… no, Master Wang, may I follow you as your disciple?"

At this moment, Xia Yuan's words made Tang Miaoyin's heart tremble.

Another alchemist wanting to become an apprentice, and no less than a middle-tier third-grade alchemist.

Given that alchemy is generally considered more challenging than artifact refining, alchemists are typically more esteemed than artifact masters, not to mention Xia Yuan is a middle-tier third-grade alchemist.

"Elder Xia, there's no need for that. If you have any questions in the future, as long as I'm still at the Celestial Sword Sect, you can always find me."

Wang Ruoxie chuckled lightly and spoke to Xia Yuan.

It wasn't that he found Xia Yuan's alchemy talent lacking; rather, he simply didn't have the time to stay here and guide Xia Yuan's alchemy.

Moreover, given their relationship, even though they weren't master and disciple, he would still wholeheartedly answer all of Xia Yuan's questions.

"Indeed."

Tang Miaoyin thought to herself; previously, Wang Ruoxie refused Zhang Yun's apprenticeship, so it wasn't surprising he refused Xia Yuan now.

"Very well, then I shall trouble you often in the future."

Upon hearing Wang Ruoxie's words, disappointment flashed across Xia Yuan's eyes, then he smiled and said.

"Master Wang, I wonder if I can come to the Celestial Sword Sect in the future to seek guidance from you regarding artifact refining?"

At this time, Zhang Yun suddenly asked.

"Of course."

Wang Ruoxie was slightly surprised, then nodded in agreement.

Although he didn't want to take Zhang Yun as his disciple, advising him on artifact refining was no big deal.

After all, he planned to frequently visit the Star Hall for treasure resources, and maintaining a good relationship with Zhang Yun would surely save him a lot of trouble.

"Elder Xia, Elder Zhao, I shall take my leave now."

After saying this to Xia Yuan and Zhao Huang, Wang Ruoxie and Tang Miaoyin left the Artifact Refining Room together.

"Elder Xia, what do you think of Master Wang?"

Watching Wang Ruoxie leave, Zhang Yun asked Xia Yuan.

"A prodigy, I fear it won't be long before his name spreads throughout the East Victory Kingdom, perhaps even the entire Eastern Domain."

Xia Yuan remarked with amazement.

"I really can't imagine how he achieves this; at just sixteen, he possesses such extraordinary artifact refining and alchemy skills that I feel even true artifact and alchemy masters might not surpass him."

Zhang Yun spoke again.

"Although I don't know the extent of his artifact and alchemy skills, I'm certain that with his martial arts aptitude, his future achievements will surely far exceed the Element Transformation Realm."

Zhao Huang also took a deep breath and said.

"When I first met him, I thought he was merely a young man with decent martial arts potential, but in just a few days, he brought us such surprises."

Xia Yuan said with a wry smile, "We must treat him differently from now on."

Zhao Huang nodded in response; previously, they interacted with Wang Ruoxie as equals, which was fine.

But now, they had to show Wang Ruoxie enough respect because he was very likely a master with expertise in both alchemy and artifact refining, and only alchemists and artifact masters above third-grade deserve the title of master.

After buying some items, Wang Ruoxie and Tang Miaoyin left the Star Hall, swiftly heading towards the Underground Blood Cave.

The Underground Blood Cave is about 300 miles from the Royal City; at their speed, they should reach it within half a day.

Through the Endless Wilderness, two figures quickly moved along the ancient road: Wang Ruoxie and Tang Miaoyin.

"Be careful, someone is there."

Wang Ruoxie suddenly whispered to Tang Miaoyin.

"Hmm?"

Tang Miaoyin looked at Wang Ruoxie in confusion.

Just then, a group of figures appeared before them, each wearing a black shawl.
