Chapter 52: Joining the Ranks at an Unprecedented Speed

Shen Ran did not value the identity of an alchemist.

However, if he had an additional capability, he might be able to use it in the future.

In a happy mood, Shen Ran rested for a moment before raising his hands to start refining the remaining nine spirit pills.

Less than half a day later.

Shen Ran, who had fallen into a trance, heard the cold voice in his ear and realized that he had already passed the assessment!

“Take 10 hours to refine 10 high-grade spirit pills.

If you pass the assessment, you can enter the fourth level!”

…

Shen Ran entered the fourth level of the Myriad Medicine Pavilion.

On the stone tower outside, Shen Ran’s name quickly rose from 900th place to the top 100!

This kind of speed was simply unheard of!

It immediately caused a huge commotion among the disciples around him!

“Damn! Look, this Shen Ran has already rushed into the top 100!”

“Hiss… Why is he so fast?”

“Isn’t entering the fourth level the only way to get into the top 100 of the stone tower?”

“How long has it been? In less than half a day, this person has passed the first three levels?”

“Oh my god, I didn’t even pass the second level of the assessment. I don’t even know the 10 types of spiritual pills needed to refine the Qi Refinement Realm. Did this person actually enter the fourth level?”

“This Shen Ran’s attainments in alchemy have reached an indescribable level. He’s comparable to Senior Sister Zhao!”

…

At this moment, all the disciples at the Myriad Medicine Pavilion were shocked.

Countless people rushed over to look.

Soon, someone uncovered Shen Ran’s true identity.

After all, some disciples had seen Shen Ran enter the Myriad Medicine Pavilion with their own eyes.

There were only a handful of disciples in the entire Empyrean Sword Sect named Shen Ran!!

After knowing that he was the chief disciple of the Eighth Summit, many people were all the more shocked.

They had heard the name Shen Ran countless times during this period of time.

He was an inner sect disciple who was banished to the outer sect by the Ninth Summit during the assessment because his aptitude and comprehension were not good.

But it didn’t take long for this person to make a comeback from the outer sect.

He had even killed Hong Jing and become the chief disciple of the Eighth Summit.

Such an inspiring story naturally spread widely among the ordinary disciples.

“Isn’t this Senior Brother Shen Ran from the Eighth Summit?”

“I didn’t expect Senior Brother Shen to be not only powerful, but also talented in alchemy!”

…

An Empyrean Sect disciple looked at Shen Ran’s name on the stone tower in a daze, his eyes shining.

“Back then, Senior Sister Zhao entered the fourth level after a full month and shocked the elders of the Myriad Medicine Pavilion. Unexpectedly, there was someone faster than Senior Sister Zhao!”

Some busybodies compared Shen Ran to Zhao Honglian.

This immediately aroused the ridicule of Zhao Honglian’s admirers.

“What good is speed?”

“Senior Sister Zhao can already refine the Marquis Realm elixirs!”

“That’s right, that’s right. Senior Sister Zhao has already entered the fifth level of the Myriad Medicine Pavilion. I heard that she’s preparing to break through to the sixth level. At that time, this Shen Ran won’t even be good enough!”

“He’s just the chief disciple of the Eighth Summit. Our Senior Sister Zhao was personally accepted as a disciple by the First Elder of the Myriad Medicine Pavilion!”

…

These Zhao Honglian’s admirers were trying their best to refute claims of Shen Ran’s talent.

To them, not only was Senior Sister Zhao beautiful and kind-hearted, but she would also give them some pointers on refining pills from time to time.

How could this Shen Ran compare to Senior Sister Zhao?

Shen Ran who was unheard of previously had entered the stone tower rankings at an unprecedented speed.

His name gradually spread from the Myriad Medicine Pavilion.

The disciples from the Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Peaks came to the Myriad Medicine Pavilion to take a look.

That was not all.

Even the elders of the inner sect were shocked when they heard the news.

In just half a day, he entered the top 100 of the stone tower. “Is another prodigy going to appear in the Alchemy Dao of our Empyrean Sword Sect?”

An elder of the Empyrean Sword Sect said excitedly.

Being able to enter the top 100 of the stone tower meant that Shen Ran’s talent in alchemy was not low.

If he could be nurtured well, he would definitely become a fifth-level alchemist and be a guest at the Emperor Realm in the future!

Moreover, the value of a fifth-level alchemist was much higher than that of an Emperor Realm elder.

After all, alchemists could create endless benefits for the sect!

…

The Ninth Summit.

In the attic at the top of the mountain.

Wan Qingqing who was grounded by Wan Ziling heard this news.

Shen Ran’s figure immediately appeared in her mind.

This name… Could it be Brother Shen Ran?

She carefully recalled that ever since Shen Ran walked out of the Ninth Summit, he used the strength of the third level Divine Sea Realm to kill Hong Jing, who was at the sixth level Divine Sea Realm, and became famous.

He then became the chief disciple of the Eighth Summit.

She had a feeling that Shen Ran, who now had his name on the stone tower, was the Brother Shen Ran she knew.

“It must be Brother Shen Ran!”

In contrast to Wan Qingqing’s excitement, the Ninth Summit’s Peak Master, Wan Ziling, seemed unusually restless as she listened to the rumors from the Myriad Medicine Pavilion.

How can this be! How can this be!

She couldn’t figure it out.

How did a person with ordinary talent, comprehension, temperament, background, and foundation become so famous now?!

Half a month ago, he had killed Hong Jing, who was at the sixth level of the Divine Sea Realm, with a single punch.

Now he showed such high alchemy talent.

Even if Shen Ran’s alchemy talent was inferior to Zhao Honglian of the Sixth Summit, it was enough to attract the attention of the sect!

Wan Ziling frowned and muttered in her heart.

Is it really as Qingqing has said? Did I judge him wrongly?
