1206 A Man Always Has A Few Days Off!
There was a rumor that an alchemist withstood the lightning calamity personally, but only the insiders knew his identity.
They were people like Grandmaster Hua Yuan and Grandmaster Harol.
Bearing the lightning calamity alone was a piece of breaking news for the alchemists. They would talk about it whenever they met.
Speanburg was a grandmaster too, so he was familiar with Grandmaster Hua Yuan and the others. Naturally, he knew about the rumor.
He looked at the figure in the sky in a daze.
He wasn't the only one. The others were astounded too. They stared absentmindedly at Wang Teng.
Boom!
The Xuanyang Soul Restoring Pill was an eighth-grandmaster-level pill, so there were eight calamity lightning bolts. The final three were the most powerful and lasted the longest.
Wang Teng didn't shrink back. He basked in the lightning and used his body to resist it.
An occult golden pattern appeared on his forehead.
His lightning talent was fully released. At the same time, he activated his Leiting Physique and Ancient God's Body, using the calamity lightning to train himself.
Wang Teng's lightning talent was only at the emperor level and his Leiting Physique wasn't even at the planetary stage. This was nothing in front of the grandmaster-level calamity lightning.
However, the Ancient God's Body was extraordinary. It was a top-tier physique training skill. It had even exceeded the universe stage.
Wang Teng only raised it to 3-star, but it was more than enough to resist the tribulation.
The three bolts of lightning couldn't get through Wang Teng's defenses and dispersed gradually.
The lightning glow around him subsided, revealing his body.
This eighth-level calamity lightning is quite powerful. Wang Teng cringed. He could feel numbness and pain in his body.
He still suffered a little even though he had activated his Ancient God's Body.
Training his physique wasn't easy.
But he had some gains too. He clenched his fist and felt that his physique had become stronger.
He became stronger! Yay!
He looked through his attributes panel. The Ancient God's Body attribute had risen a little, just as he expected.
Ancient God's Body: 1500/300000 (3-star)
He used his blank attributes to push his Ancient God's Body to the 3-star level, but it was only at the doorstep. He remembered that he only had one point.
After the calamity lightning, he had 1500 points.
The corners of Wang Teng's lips trembled. One calamity lightning only increased it by 1500 points? Mind you, he needed 300,000 points to advance to the next level!
What a vast difference!
He would need 200 lightning calamities to reach the 4-star level.
Wang Teng felt that his future was bleak.
F**k, 200 lightning calamities? Truthfully, he might need more. The further he went, the harder it would be. Who could bear this?
No one would do such a stupid thing.
Wang Teng shook his head and looked at the pill. After the lightning calamity, the pill got a little playful and started flying in another direction.
It was trying to run away!
Wang Teng stretched out his hand, and the Xuanyang Soul Restoring Pill flew back uncontrollably. It landed in his hand, lying obediently on his palm.
This pill was tedious to refine, so he only managed to make one.
But that was enough!
Wang Teng kept the Xuanyang Soul Restoring Pill in a jade bottle and picked up the attribute bubbles around him.
Constellation Force (Lightning)*800
Constellation Force (Lightning)*1200
Heaven-Earth Calamity Lightning*150
Heaven-Earth Calamity Lightning*200
…
Wang Teng bore a few lightning calamities in the past, so he was used to it. He was familiar with the attribute bubbles too.
The attribute bubbles merged into his body. Some turned into constellation lightning Force and flowed through his meridians and limbs before entering the lightning constellations above the sea of nihility.
He had eight lightning constellations now. This meant that Wang Teng's lightning Force had reached the eighth level of the planetary stage.
The other attribute bubbles turned into small bolts of purple calamity lightning and swarmed into Wang Teng's consciousness.
There was a small ball of calamity lightning ingrained in his consciousness. It got a little bigger after this addition.
Wang Teng immediately sensed the calamity lightning's happiness.
He smiled.
He received 12000 points of constellation lightning Force and 850 points of calamity lightning.
Constellation Lightning Force: 21500/80000 (planetary stage eighth level)
Heaven-Earth Calamity Lightning: 1450/10000 (first rank)
His constellation lightning Force increased greatly, but it was still at the eighth level of the planetary stage. It wasn't enough for a breakthrough.
As for the calamity lightning, it only reached 1450 and was still at the first rank.
Seems like it would be an arduous task to raise it to the second rank.
Wang Teng shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He would take one step at a time. There was no use being impatient.
He couldn't endure the lightning calamity every day, right?
It didn't make sense.
Wang Teng floated down from the sky. General Cameron and the others crowded around him.
"How is it?" Veblen stared at Wang Teng's palm and asked agitatedly.
He had the pill formula for a long time, but no one had ever made the Xuanyang Soul Restoring Pill successfully.
He was taking a chance when he passed it to Wang Teng. He didn't expect him to be successful. This came as a surprise.
He wondered what the Xuanyang Soul Restoring Pill looked like.
General Cameron, Moira, Olivia, and Grandmaster Speanburg surrounded him and stared at him intently.
"I succeeded!" Wang Teng smiled. He opened his palm and showed them the Xuanyang Soul Restoring Pill.
A pill giving off a golden-red glow was floating in the crystal-clear jade bottle. It was round with eight patterns on it. The pill looked divine.
"Good, good, good. You didn't disappoint me." Veblen repeated three times.
"Great! Cousin Di Qi is saved!" Olivia was the most excited. She pulled Wang Teng's arm.
Wang Teng smiled too. He was a little stressed when refining the Xuanyang Soul Restoring Pill because he needed it to save his friend. Besides, the difficulty exceeded his mastery level, so if he failed…
Fortunately, that didn't happen.
Moira's heart pounded when she saw Wang Teng's smile. In her eyes, he seemed to be glowing.
This fellow was quite handsome!
"Dan patterns!" Grandmaster Speanburg suddenly exclaimed. His eyes were wide open like a goldfish as he stared at the pill in the jade bottle. He commented excitedly, "Grandmaster Wang Teng, you really amaze me. I'm fully convinced by your ability. You succeeded in making this difficult pill, that too of such high quality. This is the first time I've seen something like this in my life!"
As a grandmaster, Speanburg knew the meaning of the dan patterns clearly.
Dan medicines with patterns on them had the greatest efficacy, so their quality was top-notch.
Such dan medicines were rare, but he managed to see one today.
Grandmaster Speanburg felt honored.
"Grandmaster Speanburg, you're too polite," Wang Teng replied with a smile.
Actually, he wasn't satisfied with this dan medicine. There were only eight patterns on it. When he made the Nine Essence Soul Congealing Pill, there were ten patterns.
If he was given another chance, he was confident that he could make one with ten patterns and lock 100% of its efficacy in the pill.
"No, no. This is the most perfect pill I've seen in my life. Grandmaster Wang Teng, I have huge respect for your mastery," Grandmaster Speanburg exclaimed.
"I was just lucky," Wang Teng said modestly.
Grandmaster Speanburg, you're a good speaker. Please speak more.
"What are you saying? I have met many grandmasters, but none of them can make such high-quality pills. This isn't about luck," Grandmaster Speanburg said seriously. He felt that Wang Teng was too humble.
"Hahaha, Grandmaster Speanburg, I'll be embarrassed if you continue praising me." Wang Teng laughed.
Silence.
Everyone looked at Wang Teng speechlessly.
This fellow obviously loved the compliments. He didn't seem embarrassed at all.
Pfft, shameless!
"Sigh, look at how humble you are. I feel that I've been wasting my life. My alchemy mastery is stagnant, but I'm enjoying the glory of being a grandmaster. I'm ashamed." Grandmaster Speanburg shook his head.
"Please don't say that. You've earned my respect by staying on the defense planet. Not everyone can make such a decision," Wang Teng complimented him too.
It would be impolite not to reciprocate. Since the other party praised him, he should return the favor.
"It's nothing, it's nothing." Grandmaster Speanburg waved his hand. However, the smile on his face exposed his true feelings.
Everyone: …
Are y'all done!
"Cough, let's save Di Qi first. Give the Xuanyang Soul Restoring Pill to Di Qi since you have made it," General Cameron coughed and said.
"Yes, yes. Saving a life is more important." Grandmaster Speanburg wasn't willing to stop but he still nodded his head.
Wang Teng looked at General Cameron with resentment.
Was he trying to stop others from complimenting him?
Why did he interrupt Grandmaster Speanburg after a few sentences? This was outrageous.
General Cameron: ???
What's with that gaze?
I feel as if I did something wrong.
General Cameron was at a loss for words. This fellow was shameless. Wasn't he embarrassed?
He glared at Wang Teng and walked away. He was afraid he might beat him up if he looked at him any longer.
He deserved a beating!
"A man always has a few days off," Wang Teng shook his head and muttered to himself.
Moira heard him because she was standing beside him. She gave a strange expression.
General Cameron stumbled. He clenched his fist, but he didn't turn around.
Bear with it!
Bear with it!
This young man made great contributions to the military, so I'll let him off this time.
