Chapter 97: Mental State Collapse

Wang Luo rushed to the Chu family’s territory without stopping.

“My name is Wang Luo and I am an alchemist. I am seeking refuge with the Chu family. Please inform them,” Wang Luo spoke with a hint of arrogance.

The guard looked at the dirty and downtrodden youth in front of him and was incomparably astonished. This person was actually an alchemist?

Moreover, he had come to seek refuge with the Chu family?

His eyes were filled with doubt.

Chu Yun’s status as a genius alchemist was no longer a secret among the Chu family members. She had even nurtured the Chu family’s pill refining division.

The Chu family was relying on pill refining to raise their status in the Great Qin Dynasty, squeezing out the He clan, which had always been skilled in pill refinement.

In order to become the Great Qin Dynasty’s pill refining pillar, this matter was extremely important.

An external alchemist was now seeking refuge with them?

Could this person be a swindler?

Logically speaking, no one would dare to deceive the Chu family like this. After all, their pill refinement skill would be evident after a single experiment.

However, in this world, anything could happen.

No matter how inconceivable it was, no matter how brainless the matter seemed, it was possible for it to happen. After all, there were too many people in this world, and there would always be some nutcases out there.

......

Wang Luo saw the doubt in the guard’s eyes and sneered in his heart. I’ll give you a big surprise later.

He deliberately did not change his appearance and still looked down and out. It was all for the sake of successfully refining the pill that would shock the Chu family.

He took out the pill furnace and took out a few stalks of spirit herbs.

A trace of heartache flashed in his eyes. These were the last few spirit herbs he had.

His spiritual power stimulated the fire crystal stone, and flames gushed out. With a focused expression, he began to refine the medicinal pills.

He wanted to refine a bottle of spirit pills!

A guard hurriedly left to report.

Not long after, Chu Tianming and the higher-ups of the Chu family arrived.

This group included a few people from the Chu family’s pill refining division.

The Chu family’s pill refining division had searched the entire Chu County before selecting people with pill refining talent.

Including the direct descendants of the Chu family, there were only about thirty people in total in the division.

From this, it could be seen just how scarce people with pill refining talent were.

Under Chu Yun’s guidance and training, they had already grasped basic pill refining techniques and were able to refine profound pills and spirit pills.

If they wanted to advance further, they would need to accumulate experience. It was impossible to do so in a short period of time.

Even so, by relying on the pill formulas left behind by Chu Yun, the Chu family’s pill refining division had managed to refine enough profound pills and spirit pills to raise the overall strength of their guards by one level.

Furthermore, by selling these pills, they had been able to obtain even more resources.

The Chu family’s rise was inevitable.

When they heard that there was a young man who claimed to be an alchemist seeking refuge with the Chu family, Chu Tianming and the others were curious and came over to spectate.

When Wang Luo saw so many people spectating, the corners of his mouth curled up. It was finally time for him to perform.

They were all here to be shocked.

He envisioned the Chu family’s upper echelons treating him as a distinguished guest and welcoming him into the ancestral residence.

He was already thinking about what conditions he should bring up. First of all, a steady supply of pill refinement materials was indispensable.

The Chu family would have to gather the required materials for him. Once the materials were gathered and his body’s flaws were resolved, he would soar into the heavens.

The Wang family of the Northern Region was waiting to be trampled under his feet!

Wang Luo was in a good mood, but his expression remained very focused as he began to refine the pill.

At the beginning, it proceeded very smoothly.

However, when it came to the final stages of pill refinement, Wang Luo’s chest started feeling stuffy, and his meridians started throbbing in pain. His spiritual energy was not circulating smoothly. His body seemed to be missing something, and he could not continue refining the pill according to his expectations.

“Damn it! It’s happening again!”

His face was flushed red, and beads of sweat kept dripping down.

Wang Luo gritted his teeth and continued to persevere. At the same time, he adjusted his pill refinement technique.

He moved from the more advanced pill refinement technique to a more ordinary pill refinement technique.

Huff... huff…

He could not help but start to pant.

“Hold it in. I must not fail!”

Wang Luo gritted his teeth and persevered, ignoring the intense pain in his body.

It was precisely because of these unknown flaws in his body that Wang Luo’s success rate in refining pills was not high. Furthermore, he was unable to use any brilliant pill refinement techniques.

His understanding of the Dao of alchemy was clearly comparable to that of a master, and he had even figured out a pill refinement path that belonged solely to him.

However, due to the unknown flaws in his body, all these kinds of brilliant pill refinement techniques were unable to be used.

Furthermore, his pill refinement process could not be extended past a certain length.

In the Wang family, he had always been regarded as trash.

Furthermore, he had been defeated by a pawn in a pill battle and humiliated by the members of the Wang family.

His original marriage engagement was also canceled.

He was regarded as a disgrace by the Wang family and was directly expelled.

‘Must hold on!’

Wang Luo’s eyes were red. He endured the burning pain in his body and methodically used his alchemy techniques.

This batch of spirit pills would definitely succeed!

He had persevered until now with his strong will. There was no problem with the completion of the pill.

Moreover, there might be one or two high-quality pills!

Right at this moment, among the surrounding Chu family members, a direct descendant of the Chu family in the pill refining division shook his head and said, “His alchemy ability is rubbish. It’s just a batch of spirit pills. Is there a need to work so hard?”

“Look at him. His face and eyes are red. He’s clearly reaching his limit. He’s forcing himself!”

“Right. If it were me, even if I didn’t succeed, my face wouldn’t be so red and I wouldn’t be panting like an ox. This won’t do. His endurance is too poor,” another member of the pill refining division chimed in.

“Yeah, his endurance isn’t good. His alchemy path has actually reached its peak. There’s no value in cultivating him!”

The remaining members of the pill refining division echoed their sentiments.

Chu Tianming seemed to be deep in thought as he said, “So you’re saying that he’s a pill refining trash?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Although he’s young, from the amount of potential talent he’s exhibiting, I can tell that he’s already reached his peak. It’s impossible for him to advance any further.”

“There’s no doubt that he’s a piece of trash. He probably thinks that the Chu family is gullible. He even came here to show off his half-baked skills!”

Peng!

The pill furnace exploded.

Pu!

Wang Luo spat out a mouthful of blood.

His state of mind had collapsed!

The sound of people around him shaking their heads and sighing, mocking, and poking fun at him pierced into his heart like a bayonet.

In the Wang family of the Northern Region, he was regarded as a good-for-nothing piece of trash.

He had originally thought that he would be able to show off his might once he came to the small Chu family in the barren Southern Region.

In the end, he was still ridiculed as a good-for-nothing piece of trash!

He had been about to successfully refine the spirit pills, but his disordered mental state threw his spiritual power into disorder. The pill furnace instantly exploded.

The pill refining was ruined!

Bang!

Wang Luo collapsed to the ground. His eyes stared at the sky lifelessly.

At this moment, he wanted to cry.

Why did the heavens have to torture him like this?

He had top-notch talent when it came to pill refining, but also a body with unknown flaws, which resulted in his inability to display his talent.

“Too pitiful.”

The members of the Chu family’s pill refining division shook their heads and sighed.

The branch family members of the Chu family, who had a thirty percent success rate when it came to refining spirit pills, walked out, took out the pill furnace, and poured in some spirit herbs.

“Kid, look. The pill refinement process should be done this way. Your technique is too bad. Your process isn’t stable, and your endurance isn’t good either.”

He could finally teach others, so he took this chance to show off.

When he was faced with Chu Yun, he felt that he was a wastrel.

However, in front of Wang Luo, he instantly felt that he was a genius.

An hour later, a batch of spirit pills was produced.

“Did you see that? That’s how the pills are refined!”

Pu!

Wang Luo spat out another mouthful of blood. Looking at the smooth process of refining pills, he realized that what he had done just now was akin to clowning around!
