"This is definitely the Dao of Indifference!" Xu Lengyu stare in shock. His eyes filled with disbelief. In front of him, for the very first time in his life he witness a mortal conjure the power of the Endless Dao.
Not any kind of Endless Dao, but the Dao of Indifference! Something that no one in the history of the human race has ever manage to achieve.
"No... I refuse to believe this! It just makes no sense..." Xu Lengyu muttered to himself as he watch grey looking shadows surround Xu Wantian.
Eyes still casual, showing no care for the world Yu Sheng gather the ingredients together and placed them in the pill furnace. After a while the furnace bottom area lit up as a burning sensation filled the outer area of the furnace red.
This furnace Yu Sheng bought used up almost all the money he had. Costing about 1 million BCD, this furnace was meant for Alchemist who were beginning to learn the ways of making pills, basically those known as Apprentice Alchemist.
There are nine ranks for Alchemist:
Apprentice Alchemist, Indeterminate Alchemist, Proficient Alchemist, Advance Alchemist, Elite Alchemist, Master Alchemist, Grandmaster Alchemist, Legendary Alchemist and Divine Alchemist.
Yu Sheng stare at the furnace as it burn. There are three steps when it comes to alchemy. They are timing, controlling and refining
When it comes to timing you must be able to predict when is the right moment to move on to the second step. That is, being able to know when the ingredients inside have managed to become ready to start the controlling phase.
One way to know this is by practicing with different ingredients. Since the ingredients must turn into a liquid state before it can become a pill an Alchemist must know the timing it takes for all ingredients to turn into liquid.
Of course some ingredients depends heavily on the type of furnace one uses and most especially the flames used to turn them into liquid, but when it comes to the Beauty Pill there is no need.
After waiting for 2 minutes Yu Sheng began forming hand seals. Soon the grey shadows surrounding him surge around the furnace, entering it and controlling the ingredients that turn into liquid.
This is the control phase. In this phase an Alchemist must use a technique known as the reforming technique to control the liquid so that they can move to last step, the refining stage.
'He's able to control the Dao of Indifference to this degree!' While everyone was watching Yu Sheng in awe, Xu Lengyu looked at everything unfold with a dumbfounded expression.
'Not only that, but he's able to use the Dao of Indifference to control the liquid inside the furnace! Such control without the use of the reforming technique could only mean he's a Master Alchemist! But.... How is this possible?!?!?!'
Xu Lengyu scream in his mind as his thoughts lingered on the fact that Xu Wantian, a mortal could control the Endless Dao to such degree to the point that he could even use it to do Alchemy.
What made him more shocked was the fact that Xu Wantian was just looking on as if it was a natural occurrence.
'He's an expert in music, have the ability to beat a cultivator while still being a mortal and now he is a some Master Alchemist? Could he be a genius or something? But if he were a genius why would the main branch ignore him and put him in this stupid competition!'
Xu Lengyu held his head in pain. Feeling like it was about to explode at any moment as he witness Xu Wantian back to back surprises.
Soon with the help of the grey shadows and the flames burning underneath the furnace, the liquid started taking a solid form.
"Now for the finishing touch." Yu Sheng thought out loud.
Forming more hand seals the grey shadows began surging like crazy inside the furnace.
"Refine!" Yu Sheng shouted causing the grey shadows to surge even crazier. The ingredients that were now solid went from a bunchy mess into three round shaping orbs.
This is the refining step. Using whatever needs necessary one need to be able to concentrate the ingredients that turn solid in order to turn it into a pill. Otherwise, the ingredients will explode into a mess causing the refinement to end up in a failure.
In this case Yu Sheng succeeded. Opening the pill furnace lid everyone could see three shiny blue orbs staying elegantly inside the furnace.
Yu Sheng seeing the results sighed in satisfaction. His sigh causing the Dao of Indifference to dissipate as he had no more need for it.
"This is the Beauty Pill?" Zou Xiaolian asked with curious eyes. Just one look and she could tell that these three pills were no ordinary pills and the smell coming from them caused her mind to feel at ease.
"CEO Xu is this smell what I think it is?" She asked once more with a moan. The sudden smell caused her to feel like her pores were opening and the fog that was blocking her mind was clearing up giving her a sense of pleasure.
"That's right." Yu Sheng smiled while picking up one of the pills. Immediately after the scent spread all around the meeting room causing everyone to groan and moan in pleasure.
"Ah just smelling this pill makes me feel like I became a few years younger." An old executive thought with closed eyes. Making sure to absorb all of this strange sensation.
"That's because you have become a few ages younger. Look in a mirror and you will see." Yu Sheng chuckled. The executive hearing this almost in an instant took out his phone and turn the camera to his face.
What he say made him nearly have a heart attack.
"I... I look like I am back in my mid 40s!" The executive shouted.
"My face! MY beautiful face is back!"
"The wrinkles that were on my face are gone!"
"I feel energetic. Like I can go for a long run and never feel tired!"
The executives immediately noticed the changes with their body. They became so fascinated looking at their appearances that they forgot that they were currently in a meeting.
Some even began taking out dumbbells that for some reason were on them and began exercising.
Yu Sheng smile widen seeing the executives excited expressions. Some were even staring at him in admiration.
'Just like that Xu Wantian. In just a few hours I was able to fix your nasty reputation. I don't know if your watching from heaven or.. hell, but you should thank me by kneeling down right in front of me and call me your god!' Yu Sheng puffed out his chest with prideful eyes as he laugh inside.
"Sir, I can smell the ingredients you used in making these pills. Rosemary, sage, peppermint, a 100 year old ginseng..." Zou Xiaolian began listing a bunch of common herbs.
"Sir, most of these are herbs used by mortals. I cannot... I mean! I don't understand how were you able to turn these herbs into such magnificent pills!"
"Magnificent Pills? I mean they are, but just wait until you try one. Then you tell me what type of pills these are." Yu Sheng teased with a huge grin.
"I can take one?!" Not expecting Yu Sheng to be so generous she quaked with clear excitement written on her face.
"Sure, just treat it as my gift to you for being a garbage human being."
"And for being such a sexy— Ahem! I mean amazing executive of the company." Faking a cough Yu Sheng covering his eyes that roam all over her body.
Although he always called the previous host a fool for messing with this woman could he blame him? Zou Xiaolian is a beauty alright. With curves in all the right places, her huge mounds that hid under her white blouse that show outlines of her bra, her perky butt held tightly by her skinny mini skirt that made her look like she was on her way to a dance club while still looking like the proper attire for a business meeting.
Not to mention her slender figure, her flowing purple hair, her lustrous eyes... 'Oh my god the demon of lust is hiding inside this woman!' Yu Sheng immediately avert his eyes.
'That poor button must be crying for mercy though.' Taking one more glance Yu Sheng thought with a blush. His imagination immediately run wild. 'What if the button were to burst off? Oh lord I would faint from the sight.' He thought as he cover his nose from having a nose bleed.
"Don't mind if I do!" Not noticing Xu Wantian odd behaviors she popped the pill in her mouth causing the other executives to look at her with envious eyes.
When she finish digesting the pill a strange phenomenon occur causing Yu Sheng held nose to immediately burst with blood. His nose bleeding creating a fountain.
Her transformation caused all the executives to look at her with mouths wide open. Their expressions filled with astonishment as they stare in silence.
Recovering from his shock Yu Sheng stare at the woman in front of him while cursing, "Luckily I activated the Eternal Melody or who knows what would happen to me!" The thought of dying from blood loss through his nose sent shivers down his spine.
Clearing his mind, he looking at Zou Xiaolian and became stunned. Yu Sheng couldn't even express how he felt looking at her. He was the creator of the pill, but he never thought it could have such effect!
'Curse that damn miracle doctor...'
Zou Xiaolian skin that was already smooth became smoother. Her curves that were already perfect became even more perfect! HER HAIR AND EYES THAT WERE ALREADY SO LOVELY..... FUCK!
As Yu Sheng stare at her thunderstruck or more likely, lovestruck or I guess dumbstruck her eyes met his causing his mouth to become watery with desire. Her eyes held some sort of strange power Yu Sheng thought he was looking at a goddess.
'I am never making such a strong pill again.' Yu Sheng noted in his mind. Not moving daring to move his gaze away from her lovely body.
"CEO Xu, our handsome, loving, most caring CEO." Liao Chen broke the silence with a evil smile on his face. His hands held together as if he was about to make the biggest business deal in history and his eyes closed, his eyebrows pointing upwards.
'Why the hell does he look like a con artist right now? Wait no, he looks like that guy name Gin from Bleach!" Yu Sheng exclaim with uncertainty.
"Our beloved CEO could it be possible that I can get the other pill? Even just a piece—NO! A grain would do!" Liao Chen said with sweat covering his face.
"That won't do! CEO Xu should give it to those who have been working at the company for years!"
"No! He must give it to me! I know you look at my body all the time with lust." A executive stretch her body showing off her body and causing her two beautiful mountains that looked like they could hardly hold in her shirt to become the highlight of everyone's attention.
"He doesn't need some old woman like you who is already in their 30s! What he needs is young maiden around his age who is still a virgin.... like me!" A young executive looked at Yu Sheng with a small pouting expression and blinking eyes, looking very cute.
"All of you are whores. I am willing to let CEO Xu marry my daughter if he gives me that pill!"
"Who are you calling a whore you fat bastard! And isn't your daughter 9 or something you pedo—"
"Gross..."
"Don't you dare call me a that you witch!"
"YOU—"
"All of you shut up!"
"..."
Xu Lengyu who was silent for a short period came forward and slam his two hands on the desk causing a slight vibration.
He then looked Zou Xiaolian and then at Xu Wantian with a dark expression. Black shadows appear below his feet taking on the appearance of humanoid figures seemly ready to devour everyone in this room.
Everyone grew scared as they stared at the shadows. Even Yu Sheng became frightened by these creepy shadow figures.
Xu Lengyu then put on a very kind smile of an elder brother. Yu Sheng could swear he also saw the shadow figures smiling at him too.
"The Xu Clan will buy these two pills for 10 Billion BDC how does that sound?"
