Chapter 3140 — Most Marvellous Indeed

"This... impossible!" Having finished the examination, Kang Jingming believed it even less. Pointing at Little Kong, he said, "Even if you have no wood attribute, you have the fire attribute, and you can still refine Spirit-Gathering Pills. Practice makes perfect—refine them a few more times, get the feel for it, and you can succeed too. Don't think I don't know!"
Little Kong frowned and said, "This is only my second time refining. Vice President Ouyang can vouch for that!"
"That's right—this is indeed Little Kong's second time refining Spirit-Gathering Pills!" Ouyang Nong nodded and affirmed. Little Kong had refined one pill before, and to ensure he would have ample stamina for today's demonstration, Ouyang Nong had not let him refine any other pills these past two days.
"You're all in it together—how could I trust a word you say?" Kang Jingming waved his hand and said to Little Kong, "If you've got the ability, refine a different pill for me. Refine a Life-Returning Pill... no, refine a Qi-Restoring Pill!"
The so-called Qi-Restoring Pill was a pill taken by Yellow-rank experts to rapidly restore physical stamina and true qi. Because its restorative effect was unremarkable and it was effective only for Yellow-rank experts, almost no pill refiners bothered to refine this obscure pill!
After all, there was no market for the thing. Yellow-rank experts in ordinary sects were mostly common disciples, and rarely had occasion to use Qi-Restoring Pills in battle, while Yellow-rank experts in the secular world had no channels to buy such pills at all. Thus the Qi-Restoring Pill was exceedingly rare—even Kang Jingming would not dare claim he could refine one successfully in a single attempt, for he had never refined it before, and did not even know how.
President Shen did not stop Kang Jingming's words either. After all, he too was half-believing and half-doubting at this moment, and wanted to verify just whether the first-grade automatic cauldron in Little Kong's hands could refine other first-grade pills!
"It can refine it!" Little Kong glanced at the menu on the first-grade automatic cauldron—there indeed was a "Qi-Restoring Pill" option—and nodded. "But I don't have the ingredients for a Qi-Restoring Pill on hand..."
"You there—go prepare several portions of first-grade pill ingredients for me, including those for the Qi-Restoring Pill." President Shen pointed at a disciple waiting nearby and gave the order.
"Yes, sir!" The disciple nodded and hurried off to prepare them.
Hearing Little Kong's words, Kang Jingming's heart skipped a beat, and he was seized by a sudden foreboding. After all, Little Kong had agreed far too readily! Still, Kang Jingming bolstered his own spirits and said, "Don't put on a brave front—talk is cheap. Refine it first, then we'll see."
After a while, the disciple returned, holding several bags in his hands, which presumably contained various first-grade pill-refining ingredients.
"President Shen, these are the ingredients for the Qi-Restoring Pill, and these are the ingredients for the other first-grade pills." The disciple handed the bags to President Shen.
President Shen nodded, took the Qi-Restoring Pill ingredients, and handed them directly to Little Kong, while setting the rest on the ground beside him. "Little Kong, can you refine the Qi-Restoring Pill now?"
"I can!" Little Kong nodded and poured the bag of Qi-Restoring Pill ingredients straight into the first-grade automatic cauldron!
