Reincarnated With A System In A Cultivation World

I stepped on to one of the furnaces. This was the first time that I was going to be performing alchemy on a furnace that wasn't my own, so I was not sure what I could expect.

"Enable Skill Assist, Alchemy." I said softly.

Ping!

[Enabling skill assist.] the system confirmed.

I could see exactly what I was supposed to do now. I shot Qi into the furnace and a fire started immediately. It was low, and I made sure to keep it that way.

One by one, herbs entered the furnace and were tempered by the heat. Their essence was extracted slowly, and separated from each other by my Qi, that was barely holding them together.

This was easy to think about, but it took a whole thity minutes to go through the entire process.

Usually, my Qi would have been half depleted by now. But with the breakthrough, I was not even remotely exhausted. I took out the final ingredient, which was also the most expensive one of the bunch.

It was the thousand year ginseng. It was the spirit herb that was going to bind all of the ingredients together right now.

I let the fire extract the essence and put it at the center of a spiral that I was creating. Within the spiral, the essence of the other ingredients started mixing together, and all of that was held together by the thousand year ginseng.

With this, I could feel massive amounts of Qi getting consumed to keep things going. I took another deep breath and put my hands together.

Qi shot forward and hit the runes on the side of the furnace. It activated the array that was already inscribed within. The spiral that I created started coming together into one golden, viscous liquid. I separated it into three parts and let the fire die down. Now, it was time to let it come together.

The pills started forming roughly, and I let my Qi do the work. The shape formed, and I felt the furnace shake a little.

I let the lid fall on top of the furnace and finally exhaled.

"Alright. That took a while." I stretched my hands as I turned around. Until then, I was too concentrated on the Pill Formation to think about anything else. Now that I turned around, I finally saw what just happened.

Every single one in the room was staring at me with their eyes unblinking and their jaws open. They were staring at me like they just saw the devil.

"Did you just do all of that in just one hour? Did you just close the furnace in an hour? Are you stupid?" the old man finally broke this silence.

Ding!

At the right moment, the furnace suddenly shook. A sweet smell escaped the furnace and filled the room. Every single alchemy disciple said in unison, "the bone tempering pill!"

"You completed the synthesis in just one hour? How is this possible?! Only You Feng could match that speed! But how can there be two geniuses like this at once?" the old man fell back. He supported himself with a counter and looked at me like he was looking at a monster.

I did not waste any time and took out a jade box. I opened the furnace and put in all of the pillls into this jade box. With that taken care of, I went back to reality.

"I completed the test. I am a certified alchemist, right?" I asked.

"That method! That method! That is similar to the one that the heavenly genius You Feng used in the Pill Towers gathering!" one of the onlookers cried out.

"You just did something completely stupid. You just dug a grave for yourself." Liu Man said with a foreboding tone.

"I just realized. Now, everyone is going to think that I am connected to that guy, and he is going to look into me. Especially now that he has five days of time in his hands." I shook my head.

"Atleast you confirmed one thing about him." Liu Man said.

"What? That he has a system? That much is apparent. But if he has a system, then he would have done it at the same speed as I did. But they clearly just said that You Feng was faster. And by the looks of it, a lot faster. Or else, they would have called me a genius bigger than him." I said.

"That is true. We can be sure that he has a system like you." Liu Man confirmed.

"Wait a minute. This might just be me thinking too much, but he could have a system that is not a system like mine. He could have something like an alchemy system or something like that. Is that possible?" I wondered.

"You can ask your system. It answers some of your questions sometimes, doesn't it?" Liu Man suggested.

"First, I need to get out of this mess." I looked back at the old man who stood still.

"Are you related to You Feng, by any chance?" he asked with a trembling voice.

"You Feng? The genius of the Pill Tower? If I was related to him, then I wouldn't be here taking this test, would I? I am just a disciple from the Sky Heavens sect. Please do not make any unnecessary assumptions." I frowned, trying my best to show my displeasure.

"Then this way of synthesizing pills? It is so similar to the way that You Feng does it. I have to report it to the higher ups." the old man started fidgeting around.

"Well, I did not want to do this, but my master will be displeased if he finds out that his technique is becoming so public." I tried to change things around, and see if I hit something.

"Your master? Who is the great master who was able to create this wonderful technique?" the old man asked out loud.

I looked around and pointed to the disciples just standing around.

"Why are we having this discussion here? Master will be displeased if he finds out that so many people know about this." I said with the most irritated voice that I could muster.

"Everyone, get out!!!"
