Of course, such elixirs generally don’t appear on the market.
Terra Su originally thought that no one in Anyang City would know about the Silver Star Elixir.
Unexpectedly, he saw the name of this elixir on the task notice in the Heavenly Elixir Hall.
When he reached the entrance of the Eastern Hall, Terra Su, holding the task notice, encountered no obstacles and was smoothly let in by the guards.
However, the guards, upon seeing that Terra Su’s task was related to the Silver Star Elixir, all showed expressions of sympathy.
“Another moth flying into the flame.”
“So many people have tried this task before, all aiming for that first-grade Divine Weapon, but they all ended up getting beaten up by Grandmaster Huang.”
“There’s no helping it; the reward of a first-grade Divine Weapon is too tempting. Who wouldn’t want to try, even if just for luck?”
“What do you think, how badly will this guy get beaten by Grandmaster Huang? More lumps on his face or his head?”
Terra Su didn’t pay attention to these discussions, but from them, he roughly understood that the task issuer should be a third-grade Alchemy Grandmaster with a bad temper.
This might be terrifying for others, but for Terra Su, it was nothing. Bad temper? I have plenty of ways to improve your mood.
When it comes to elixirs, Terra Su has never lacked confidence.
Soon, Terra Su arrived at the door of the alchemy room mentioned in the notice.
It was a spacious alchemy room, with precious herbs planted all over the ground outside, indicating the owner’s considerable wealth.
Entering the alchemy room, the interior was also luxuriously decorated.
“Someone else here to challenge the task?”
A figure walked out from the inner room, wearing a third-grade alchemist badge on his chest. It seemed to be the task issuer, Grandmaster Huang.
Both of them were slightly surprised upon meeting. Terra Su had thought that with such a notorious reputation, Grandmaster Huang would be a sinister, ugly old man. Unexpectedly, he was a scholarly man in a long robe, looking no older than forty.
Grandmaster Huang was even more surprised: “Young man, are you here to challenge the task I issued?”
Despite his youthful appearance, Terra Su knew that Grandmaster Huang was likely much older. Many top alchemists had methods to maintain a youthful appearance, so judging age by looks was unreliable.
Hearing Grandmaster Huang refer to himself as “I,” Terra Su was even more convinced of his guess.
“Yes, I, Terra Su, am here to challenge the task.” Terra Su raised the task notice in his hand.
Now that he had returned to his youth, he naturally wouldn’t insist on flaunting his past life’s Alchemy Emperor status. Facing an alchemist of Grandmaster Huang’s level…
“Come in.” Grandmaster Huang didn’t say much more. Though surprised by Terra Su’s youth, he didn’t think much of it, nor did he doubt whether Terra Su was a member of the Heavenly Elixir Hall. After all, if he weren’t, he wouldn’t be able to enter freely.
After sitting down in the inner room, Grandmaster Huang got straight to the point: “I want to refine a batch of Silver Star Elixirs, but my success rate is only fifty percent. Tell me, can you help increase my success rate to sixty or seventy percent, or even eighty percent? The materials for the Silver Star Elixir are too expensive; I’ve already failed once and can’t afford such high losses again.”
Grandmaster Huang’s straightforwardness slightly surprised Terra Su.
However, Terra Su still said, “I need to see your prescription first.”
Upon hearing this, Grandmaster Huang sneered and waved his hand: “Someone, drag him out and give him a beating, then throw him out!”
This kid was even more detestable than those before. The previous ones at least didn’t ask to see the prescription. But this kid, the first thing he asked for was the prescription.
If someone saw the prescription, how could it still be exclusive? What alchemist would show their prescription right away?
So, Grandmaster Huang instinctively thought Terra Su was here to steal the prescription, and in a very clumsy way at that.
Terra Su was momentarily stunned, then couldn’t help but laugh. The reason he asked to see the prescription right away was because he knew the complete prescription for the Silver Star Elixir, so he said it subconsciously, with no intention of stealing it.
The prescription he knew was undoubtedly the most complete and optimal one. Why would he need to steal someone else’s possibly flawed or incomplete prescription?
“It seems you misunderstood me,” Terra Su said calmly, “Bring me paper and a brush!”
Grandmaster Huang sneered, “Kid, what trick are you trying to pull now?”
Terra Su just gave Grandmaster Huang a calm look: “If you don’t do as I say, you’ll regret it.”
Grandmaster Huang frowned, scrutinizing Terra Su with a discerning gaze, even adding a hint of soul pressure.
However, to Grandmaster Huang’s surprise, Terra Su remained calm, seemingly unaffected by the soul pressure, appearing serene and composed.
Suddenly, Terra Su’s eyes slightly opened, and an invisible soul pressure lightly pricked Grandmaster Huang’s eyes.
Grandmaster Huang’s eyes tightened. At that moment, Terra Su’s aura was fully revealed, exuding the demeanor of an Elixir Path Emperor, filled with an imposing presence.
But in the next moment, Grandmaster Huang doubted his own eyes. How could such an aura, such pressure, appear in a fifteen-year-old boy?
“Someone, bring paper and a brush.”
Regardless, Grandmaster Huang changed his attitude and called for paper and a brush.
Terra Su picked up the brush and started writing swiftly on the paper.
At first, Grandmaster Huang didn’t know what he was writing, but as Terra Su wrote more, Grandmaster Huang became increasingly astonished.
“Fire Tiger Orchid, Rainbow Sand, Butterfly Essence, Five-Leaf Begonia… Isn’t this the prescription for the Silver Star Elixir?”
Grandmaster Huang’s eyes were full of shock. The materials Terra Su wrote matched his Silver Star Elixir prescription by ninety percent…
How could a fifteen-year-old boy know the prescription for the Silver Star Elixir?
For a moment, Grandmaster Huang’s view of Terra Su changed completely!
However, Terra Su didn’t write the entire prescription, stopping halfway.
Then, Terra Su put down the brush and said calmly, “Now, do you still think I’m here to steal your prescription?”
