"Something's wrong… The five types of spiritual energy didn't repel each other after entering the solution. Instead, they're reinforcing one another and merging into the medicinal power."
Beneath the veil of mist, the woman's beautiful eyes locked onto the crucial detail.
"What?! That's impossible!"
Old Ye's eyes widened. "Multiple attributes combined should've exploded on the spot!"
He stared hard at the cultivation dish.
Sure enough, under the infusion of spiritual energy, the liquid inside was constantly shifting colors.
This was the unmistakable sign of perfect fusion between the base solution and spiritual energy.
It also proved that the five attributes were reacting harmoniously.
Hearing Old Ye's shocked tone, Luo Bing smiled faintly.
"Watch carefully. Learn properly. I'll only teach this once."
At that moment, a perceptive Beast Tamer suddenly exclaimed,
"It's the ratio!"
"Ratio? Billy?" Old Ye was momentarily confused.
The man nodded.
"The five attributes weren't injected evenly—they were infused in different proportions."
"That way, the natural repulsion between attributes gets suppressed by dosage."
At his words, everyone instinctively turned their eyes back to Luo Bing's process.
"Huh… he's right!"
"To think of something like that… could this guy really be the Medicine God himself?"
"Totally possible. Otherwise, why wear a mask? Clearly hiding his identity."
"Don't be ridiculous. I checked earlier—he's only around twenty. How old is the Medicine God?"
"Twenty? No way. This isn't a genius, this is a monster. The Medicine God must've used some technique to disguise himself. With your pig-level cultivation, you think you can see through him?"
As the situation flipped, praise began pouring in toward Luo Bing without restraint.
After all, spectators just wanted a show—whoever won, they cheered for.
And this clever operation, coupled with exquisite control over five attributes, was undeniably breathtaking.
Well worth spamming a wave of 666.
"But from the very beginning, his output of spiritual energy was about five times the standard process," someone suddenly pointed out.
"Isn't he only at the Mountain Bronze realm?"
"Why does he have such terrifying reserves? Could he really be the Medicine God descending into the world?"
Old Ye was full of questions now, and the tone in which he spoke to Luo Bing had completely changed.
Even if Luo Bing wasn't the Medicine God, this level of alchemy was worthy of his utmost respect.
Luo Bing continued refining as he calmly explained,
"My spiritual energy is special. That's why my… chakra—uh, spiritual energy reserves are far beyond normal."
"That's also why I said your reserves were too thin, which limited the final quality of the Enlightenment Potion."
He was referring, of course, to the Rinnegan's basic ability—High-Capacity Battery.
"I see."
Old Ye nodded repeatedly, now completely convinced by Luo Bing's words.
In fact, he was secretly hoping Luo Bing would win the ten million.
That would prove Luo Bing's theory correct—and he himself had learned immensely from it.
Ten minutes later—
Seeing that the timing was perfect, Luo Bing lifted the metal cover.
The transparent cultivation dish instantly erupted with blinding radiance—
Even more dazzling than when Old Ye's potion had been completed.
What's more, after the intense light faded, the liquid poured into the glass vial still glowed with a faint orange hue.
Like a legendary item straight out of a game.
The crowd collectively sucked in a sharp breath.
Could he really be recreating the Medicine God's miracle?
The evaluation system activated.
"Name: Enlightenment Potion."
"Refinement Difficulty: Three-Star Alchemy."
"Evaluation Score: Perfect Five Stars."
"Actual Effect: 100% chance to unlock an additional spirit beast contract slot. Limited to once."
The moment the announcement ended, everyone froze.
One hundred percent!
Guaranteed!
Spirit beast slot!
This was outrageously overpowered.
If not for the 'limited to once' restriction, it would've enabled infinite spirit beast contracts.
Even so—
This was already absurdly strong.
Compared to this, Old Ye's 10% potion was like the weakest of the Dark Heavenly Kings.
A complete clown show.
And they still dared say he wasn't the Medicine God?!
People started slapping themselves hard.
"Holy crap—that hurt! I'm not dreaming!"
Phones were pulled out en masse.
Click! Click! Click!
Photos of Luo Bing's dashing figure were uploaded to the internet.
"Brothers! I saw the Medicine God today! He casually refined a perfect Enlightenment Potion! For real! Not clickbait! If this post hits 500k likes, I'll risk my life to偷拍 that potion!"
The gathering also attracted internet-famous streamers.
"Besties, I ran into the Medicine God giegie today. Sadly he was wearing a mask, but he's definitely handsome."
"Thanks to our top donor for the rocket! You want me to pull off his mask? No problem—get twenty Emperors in the room and I'll show you the Medicine God's nation-toppling face."
In an instant, Luo Bing was completely surrounded.
He hurriedly stored the divine-grade potion into his storage ring and shoved his way through the frenzy with one hand raised.
"Make way! I'm really not the Medicine God! Master Ye—my ten million!"
That was his lifeline.
Without that money, he couldn't pay rent—and if that happened, Sister Yiyi might really assign him to warm her bed.
He'd spend the rest of his life under the shadow of a rich woman.
At that moment, the mist-shrouded spirit beast surged forward, sweeping Luo Bing and Old Ye up together.
In the blink of an eye, they were carried out of the pavilion and vanished.
The katana embedded in the ground followed, flying off after them.
The frenzied crowd was left behind, scrambling in every direction in search of the "Medicine God."
…
The mist carried the three of them to a secluded corner near the Imperial Medicine Pavilion.
After landing, the woman retracted the mist, releasing Luo Bing and Old Ye.
"Thanks."
Luo Bing cupped his hands toward the owner of the mist.
If she hadn't intervened, he probably would've been trampled to death before Sister Yiyi could even finish draining his remaining value.
The dark silhouette raised her slender hand, catching the returning katana and storing it back into the mist.
"I agreed to be your judge. Naturally, I'd see it through to the end."
Her mysterious voice was graceful, yet carried an innate cold pride.
"Medicine God, please forgive my earlier disrespect."
Old Ye suddenly grabbed Luo Bing's hand, his voice trembling with emotion.
"I've lived a sheltered life and grown arrogant, failing to see that there's always someone stronger out there."
The Medicine God had been his childhood idol—the spiritual pillar of his alchemy career.
Now that he was standing right in front of him, how could he not be overwhelmed?
"Uh… my money?" Luo Bing shook his phone, QR code displayed, completely unconcerned about sounding crude.
"It's coming, it's coming—look at my memory."
Old Ye quickly pulled out his phone and scanned.
Ding!
"Your account has received 10,000,000 Federation Credits."
At that moment, Luo Bing felt the notification tone was the most beautiful sound in the world.
"Thanks, Master Ye. And you as well. I'll be heading back now."
In high spirits, Luo Bing was eager to rush back and pay his rent, so he said his goodbyes.
Old Ye hurriedly blocked his path and cupped his hands.
"Medicine God, there are still many parts of your demonstration that I don't understand. Please enlighten me."
"I'll say it one more time—I am not the Medicine God!"
Luo Bing was getting anxious.
He'd gained plenty tonight and couldn't wait to spend his money and power up. Why was everyone stopping him?
The slender black figure to the side blinked her lively eyes, looking at Luo Bing with deep curiosity.
"That's impossible. Apart from the Medicine God, no one could refine an Enlightenment Potion of that quality. Those profound methods—how did you know them?"
Old Ye was utterly unconvinced.
"Self-enlightenment," Luo Bing replied seriously.
As a descendant of sages, casually comprehending techniques on par with the Medicine God—
Perfectly normal, right?
