In the Eastern Continent, there are no more than a hundred people who can obtain the title of a High-level Pill Master. Nearly eighty percent of these come from the Danlu organization. The remaining twenty percent are mostly affiliated with two powerful nations or one of the other three major organizations. The rise of a High-level Pill Master does not merely signify talent and glory. Behind a Pill Master, there represent countless powers and bloodshed. However, Feng Wanwan is an exception in the Alchemy Master World. Feng Wanwan was born a commoner, with unknown parents, an orphan raised by an old Monk in the local temple. Since childhood, she became accustomed to seeing the Monk treat villagers for various injuries and bruises, which inspired her initial intention to learn alchemy, solely to provide her village with a chance to survive when they could not afford Elixir Pills. For this chance, she followed the Monk to collect herbs from the mountains since she was young and tested all manner of Poisonous Grass. In the beginning, without test patients, she used herself for poison testing, and several times, she fainted from being Poisoned. Before becoming a Pill Master, she did not have a proper Elixir Furnace, did not know what Alchemy Fire was, and even for Alchemy, she used the temple’s broken porridge pot and firewood to concoct. She did not belong to any organization. Before she became an entry-level alchemist, she went unnoticed, and it took her thirteen attempts to qualify as an entry-level alchemist. Only on the thirteenth try did she finally pass the assessment of the Danlu organization. But after that, she rose rapidly. Within only three years, she passed the examinations for Middle-level and High-level Pill Masters, becoming the youngest High-level Pill Master in the history of pill masters. That year, Feng Wanwan was only twenty-two. Such a record was not broken until five years ago by another demon-level talent from Danlu, Chen Jiangyin. "Is there a connection between Grandma’s experiences and her death by poisoning?" Yue Jinghua caught onto something and suddenly realized, "Mom, was Grandma also a Dark Heavenly Master?" Yue Jinghua, with her delicate thoughts, pondered for a moment and then spotted the contradictions in Lie Rou’s words. If one were to say that Feng Wanwan became an entry-level alchemist through hard work and astonishing perseverance, that could be considered reasonable. But she was a High-level Pill Master. On the Eastern Continent, to become a High-level Pill Master, you must successfully concoct Holy-grade Elixir. Yue Jinghua, despite possessing the Dun Qinglian Fire, had only managed to concoct the best Elixir Pills of the Spiritual-grade, the Feminine Charm Pill, so far. Holy-grade Elixir must be concocted using High-level Alchemy Fire - the fire of the Heavenly Dark Realm. Ordinary people without a great opportunity to obtain Dark Fire could only rely on their own Alchemy Fire to perform Alchemy. For Holy-grade Elixir, the Pill Master’s cultivation cannot be below the Heavenly Dark Realm. However, Yue Jinghua had only heard that Lie Changgong was a Dark Heavenly Master and had never heard that Feng Wanwan was one too? "Huahua, where did you learn about these things?" Lie Rou was taken aback. She had never mentioned Feng Wanwan to Yue Jinghua, as she had intended to keep this secret buried in her heart forever. "Mom, you’ve forgotten; there’s a record of it in Grandma’s handbook, and I’ve also heard about it in the Mercenary Group," Yue Jinghua replied nonchalantly, brushing off the subject. That completely fictional handbook of Feng Wanwan truly worked wonders. "Huahua is truly astute, immediately sensing that something was amiss. This matter is what I wanted to discuss with you, and it’s also your grandmother’s biggest secret, a secret that not even your second uncle and third uncle know," Lie Rou did not suspect a thing. She lowered her voice slightly, a hint of wariness appearing in her eyes as she was lost in her memories. Feng Wanwan was not a Heavenly Dark Realm master. If she had been a Dark Heavenly Master like Lie Changgong, perhaps she would not have left this world so soon. Feng Wanwan’s ascension to a high-level Pill Master was not only due to her industriousness and talent but also because she possessed a type of Dark Fire that is extremely rare in the world. The Canglong Continent has been formed for thousands of years, and in these millennia, the abundant Heaven and Earth Xuan Qi has nurtured countless Dark Practitioner experts while also giving life to a great multitude of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. Spirit wood and Dark Beasts are all products of the gathering of Heaven and Earth Xuan Qi. Heaven and Earth have Yin Yang; the extreme of Yang is Fire, and the extreme of Yin is Water. The forms of existence for Dark Fire and Dark Water are unpredictable, and throughout history, they have only appeared in legends found in ancient books, with no one able to precisely locate them. They could be hidden within the mountains and rivers or could be nurtured within a certain spirit wood or even within the body of a Dark Beast.
