"Elder Wine, your words... Jiang Chen may lack the perceptive skills, but surely you do? You could teach him how to identify Spirit Grass, couldn't you? It's not like you're asking him to go in and select them immediately!"

Jian Cangqiong helplessly shot a glance at the protective old man.

"Cough!"

Jiang Chen coughed softly and said in a low voice, "Master, Teacher, Spirit Grass... I can distinguish them!"

"Look, Young Jiang even says he... what? You can differentiate them?"

Hu Yiqiu, startled, looked at Jiang Chen midway through his sentence.

"Master, back home I also used to create Elixirs, so I do have some understanding of Spirit Grass. It's just that the rank of Spirit Grass you talk about is somewhat unfamiliar to me."

Jiang Chen explained softly.

"Junior Brother, don't tell me the Enlightenment Pill you gave me was refined by you?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Tao suddenly remembered something, looking at Jiang Chen in surprise.

"Enlightenment Pill?"

Hu Yiqiu and Jian Cangqiong both looked at Jiang Chen in surprise.

"I never thought you had such an Elixir, and I have never seen you use it."

Hu Yiqiu glanced at Jiang Chen with a light smile, his eyes revealing a hint of appreciation.

Ever since Jiang Chen broke through to the Divine Infant Realm, he had hardly left his side, so he naturally knew whether Jiang Chen had used the Enlightenment Pill or not. Having such a cultivation-enhancing Elixir yet not using it himself, but giving it to Yun Tao, made Hu Yiqiu greatly relieved.

"Yun Tao, you're giving Jiang Chen too much credit; Jiang Chen's cultivation talent is unquestionably remarkable, but the Enlightenment Pill is a third-grade Elixir, an exceptionally unique one too, and even Elder Sang, who is a fourth-grade Alchemist, can't refine it. How could he possibly refine it?"

Jian Cangqiong chuckled and shook his head.

"Well... the Enlightenment Pill was indeed refined by me."

Jiang Chen smiled slightly and spoke softly.

"What!?"

"Really refined by you!?"

"You, you, are you an Alchemist?!"

Hu Yiqiu and others were dumbfounded, staring at Jiang Chen with faces full of astonishment.

"Young Jiang, did you really refine that Enlightenment Pill!?"

Hu Yiqiu spoke in disbelief.

Jiang Chen gently nodded, "That was refined by me back home."

"Home..."

Hu Yiqiu certainly knew where Jiang Chen's home was, and from Jiang Chen's previous accounts, he knew it was just the newly formed Heavenly Dao there.

"You, you had Spiritual Fire back there?"

Jian Cangqiong suddenly thought of something, his eyes burning as he looked at Jiang Chen.

Spiritual Fire is an intrinsic flame between heaven and earth, used to refine Elixirs, increasing their success rate in the Void Nether Realm. All Alchemists use Spiritual Fire to refine Elixirs.

"There wasn't any. Our home has yet to give birth to Spiritual Fire; I used Mortal Fire for the refinement."

Jiang Chen gently shook his head.

"Refining the Enlightenment Pill with Mortal Fire!?"

"What did you say!?"

Hu Yiqiu and the others' eyes were almost bulging out. Even Jian Cangqiong, who had made guesses, was startled when he heard this!

Yun Tao and Ouyang Ruoxue were already stunned, looking at Jiang Chen with faces full of disbelief.

Refining the Enlightenment Pill with Mortal Fire!

This is a feat unheard of.

Usually, what is refined with Mortal Fire can't even be considered an Elixir, merely a pill, not qualifying as even a first-grade Elixir.

If not for their utmost trust in Jiang Chen, people might think Jiang Chen was boasting out of nothing!

"What nonsense of Mortal Fire refining the Enlightenment Pill? You two fellows are misleading the young ones!"

A slightly displeased voice arose as Sang Zhenye and his wife walked down from the mountaintop steps.

"No, no, it wasn't what we said, it was Jiang Chen who said... he, he once used Mortal Fire to refine the Enlightenment Pill!"

Jian Cangqiong spoke a bit dazedly.

"Oh, Jiang Chen said it? Then it should be true, wait! What?"

Sang Zhenye instinctively nodded, then suddenly paused, his eyes widening in shock as he looked at Jiang Chen: "You refined the Enlightenment Pill with Mortal Fire!?"

Jiang Chen looked innocently at everyone, gently nodding.

"The Enlightenment Pill I consumed had three Pill Veins."

Yun Tao tossed another surprising detail.

"What? Mortal Fire refined a three-veined Enlightenment Pill!?"

"What did you say!?"

"Impossible!"

Hu Yiqiu and others exclaimed in shock, wide-eyed, and then the way they looked at Jiang Chen became intensely fervent.

"Wh-what's wrong?"

Jiang Chen spoke shakily, feeling somewhat intimidated by everyone's gaze.

"Young Jiang, what grade of Alchemist are you?!"

Hu Yiqiu stared intently at Jiang Chen, his lips trembling as he asked.

"I..."

Jiang Chen blinked, seemingly contemplating his words.

Hu Yiqiu and others looked at Jiang Chen with anticipation.

"I don't know."

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Chen gently shook his head: "Back home, the grading of Elixirs seems different from here; in our hometown, there's no grading for the Enlightenment Pill."

Indeed, back in Yuan Star, the highest grade Elixirs were only suitable for Saint Realm cultivators.

Here, the so-called Saint Realm cultivators from Yuan Star were merely unranked individuals, hence he couldn't use the grading from Yuan Star to explain his grade as an Alchemist, and the dreamlike memory's grading seemed different from that of the Void Nether Realm.

From Jian Cangqiong's words earlier, it was apparent that Elder Sang was a fourth-grade Alchemist, indicating that the grading of Alchemists in the Void Nether Realm wasn't divided into Heaven, Earth, and Human three grades.

"Don't know? You..."

Everybody paused for a moment, then recalling Jiang Chen's background, suddenly understood in their hearts.

Whoosh!

Sang Zhenye summoned a half-person tall round cauldron beside everyone.

"This is a type of Alchemy Cauldron gained during my travels across the continent, graded at the Spiritual Artifact level, capable of withstanding the refinement of fourth-grade Elixirs. Jiang Chen, demonstrate an Elixir refinement for me to see; I'll find any necessary herbs for you."

Sang Zhenye looked at Jiang Chen excitedly.

Everyone's eyes showed a hopeful glint.

"Alright!"

Jiang Chen nodded, pondered for a while, and spoke softly: "Then please, Teacher, prepare Yun Ling Grass, Three-Flower Leafless Fruit..."

Jiang Chen listed a series of Spirit Grass names.

"This... Are you refining the fourth-grade Elixir Spirit-Infusing Pill?!"

Upon hearing the Spirit Grass Jiang Chen mentioned, Sang Zhenye's face changed, exclaiming.

"What?"

"Isn't that the Elixir Elder Sang plans to refine?"

Hu Yiqiu and others exclaimed again, eyes showing shock anew.

This kid... is he a fourth-grade Alchemist?!

"Teacher plans to refine the Spirit-Infusing Pill?!"

Jiang Chen looked strangely at Sang Zhenye: "Though the Spirit-Infusing Pill is meant for refining Spiritual Power, it's ineffective for those at the Unity Realm Stage, right?"

"Weren't you going to study the Five Elements Sealing Demon Sword?"

Jian Cangqiong chuckled, "Elder Sang is refining it for you."

Jiang Chen froze slightly, with warmth surging in his heart, looking at Sang Zhenye with eyes showing a touch of gratitude.
