The Cultivation Method of Junior Sister is Unscientific

“Master Ming Heng, as the only resident third-grade alchemist here! His achievements are monumental, his dedication is astonishing, and his vision is grand! Let’s all give Master Ming Heng a round of applause!” Yun Jin proclaimed passionately.

The crowd burst into enthusiastic applause.

Ming Heng jolted.

Embarrassing!

It was utterly mortifying!

Yet amidst the embarrassment… was there a tiny hint of pleasure?

No, it must be his imagination. Definitely just his imagination.

“Master Ming Heng, thank you for overseeing this assessment. For this test, I’ve chosen to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, a second-grade pill. Do you have any insights to share about this particular pill?” Yun Jin asked enthusiastically.

Caught off guard, Ming Heng instinctively replied, “Second-grade pills are generally used by cultivators in the Foundation Establishment realm. Among them, the Foundation Establishment Pill is a rare functional pill with irreplaceable properties. Unlike other second-grade pills, it’s primarily used by cultivators at the peak of Qi Condensation, offering a chance to break through to Foundation Establishment. In the absence of Foundation Establishment techniques, this pill is fundamental to human cultivation, its importance rivaling even eighth or ninth-grade pills.”

Yun Jin nodded, “So, for such a crucial pill, does its quality significantly impact aspiring Foundation Establishment cultivators?”

Ming Heng explained, “Naturally. For a cultivator of average aptitude, consuming an ordinary quality Foundation Establishment Pill offers only a 10% chance of breakthrough. An excellent quality pill increases that to 30%.”

“What about perfect quality?” Yun Jin pressed.

Ming Heng raised an eyebrow, “That would boost the success rate to a full 80%. However, perfect quality Foundation Establishment Pills are exceedingly rare. You won’t find them on the market, which is why most peak Qi Condensation disciples accumulate multiple pills as a precaution when attempting to establish their foundation.”

“Did you all hear that?” Yun Jin addressed the crowd. “Perfect quality Foundation Establishment Pills are virtually non-existent in the market, yet their potency in aiding breakthroughs is astounding. Especially for those with poor aptitude, ordinary quality pills offer little hope regardless of quantity. But with perfect quality? The chances of breakthrough increase dramatically.”

At this point, Ming Heng sensed something odd.

He couldn’t help but glance at Yun Jin.

Wait a minute…

Why did this girl’s rhetoric sound like a sales pitch?

Was she implying she could produce perfect quality pills?

A small wave of emotional fluctuations rippled through the crowd.

Yun Jin smiled slightly, continuing, “Now, many of you might be wondering. Everyone knows perfect quality pills are superior, but they’re unavailable for purchase, right? Well, I have good news for you all! As you may recall, during my first-grade assessment, I refined a perfect quality Jade Spirit Pill. This time, for my second-grade assessment, I’ve chosen the Foundation Establishment Pill. Please wait for four hours and witness the birth of a perfect grade Foundation Establishment Pill with me! Afterwards, these perfect grade pills will be available for purchase on-site. I urge everyone to stay until the end, don’t leave early.”

What?

The crowd instantly stirred.

Perfect grade Foundation Establishment Pills?

The perfect grade Jade Spirit Pills merely contained more spiritual energy, and considering their exorbitant price, they weren’t cost-effective for most cultivators.

But perfect grade Foundation Establishment Pills were an entirely different matter. These were functional pills!

Some cultivators with poor aptitude might never break through using ordinary quality Foundation Establishment Pills!

But with perfect quality?

It could very well help them overcome their bottleneck!

Could this young woman truly guarantee perfect quality Foundation Establishment Pills?

This was monumental news!

Even Ming Heng found himself scrutinizing Yun Jin, unable to resist asking, “The difficulty of refining Foundation Establishment Pills far surpasses that of Jade Spirit Pills. Are you truly confident?”

Yun Jin smiled faintly, “Please remember, any pill I refine will never be anything less than perfect quality!”

Such an arrogant claim!

Even the most accomplished alchemists from the Mystic Pill Gate wouldn’t dare make such a bold statement.

Yet this young woman had just done so!

“Enough talk, let’s begin the formal pill refining,” Yun Jin said, approaching the central furnace.

The furnace was once again provided by the Alchemy Pavilion, though this time it was a second-grade furnace.

The herbs required for the Foundation Establishment Pill had been prepared in advance.

This time, there were over twenty types of herbs and seven kinds of spirit liquids.

Ming Heng watched intently.

Last time, Yun Jin hadn’t strictly followed the Jade Spirit Pill formula. But this time, the Foundation Establishment Pill formula had been perfected through generations of research by countless experts.

Surely she wouldn’t deviate from it?

Yun Jin scanned the ingredients, swiftly selecting the herbs and spirit liquids she needed.

Surprisingly, she only used half of what the Alchemy Pavilion had prepared.

Ming Heng’s expression changed.

She’d altered it again.

She’d modified the pill formula again!

He stared at Yun Jin intently.

If she truly managed to refine a perfect quality Foundation Establishment Pill this time, it would be a major event. He’d have no choice but to report it to his superiors.

Even the slightest alteration to the Foundation Establishment Pill formula could impact the entire cultivation world!

This selection process alone earned Yun Jin another substantial influx of emotional value.

When Yun Jin began casually tossing herbs into the furnace as she had done before, many onlookers clutched their chests in disbelief.

Damn.

Although they’d heard about this young woman’s unorthodox methods…

But still!

This was the second-grade Foundation Establishment Pill!

Was she really going to refine it the same way as before?

Even when preparing pig feed, one would at least chop and mix the ingredients.

She was just throwing them in?

Could this possibly produce a pill?

Soon after, Yun Jin dusted off her hands, and the furnace began operating on its own.

The crowd stared at the rotating furnace in stunned silence.

This was truly… seeing is believing.

The shock of witnessing it firsthand was a thousand times more intense than hearing about it secondhand.

Following the previous procedure, the next step for this young woman would be…

Under everyone’s watchful gaze, Yun Jin indeed leisurely produced a bag of melon seeds.

This action was perplexing.

Yet somehow, the crowd felt a sense of inevitability about it.

Yun Jin munched on a few fragrant seeds as the onlookers gaped in astonishment.

Suddenly, Yun Jin raised the bag of seeds and announced, “Fragrant and crispy spirit melon seeds, perfect for snacking anywhere! Three hundred jin of seeds, on sale now! Don’t miss out, folks!”

The crowd was utterly bewildered.

Wait.

What was happening?

Had something gone terribly wrong?

Wasn’t this supposed to be a solemn alchemy assessment?

And now… she was selling melon seeds?
