If anything goes wrong during this time, it doesn't matter. Better to die than to die!
His words were spoken casually, but Luo Lin opposite him instantly lost his composure. His whole body sprang up from the futon like a spring, and his eyes were fixed on Zhang Yun with an expression of disbelief.
"What did you just say? What grade of pill? What are its effects?"
"A sixth-grade pill can raise the strength of someone in the Heavenly Gang Realm by one or two minor realms."
Zhang Yun spoke each word with utmost clarity, causing even Luo Lin, the head of a sect, to gasp in shock.
Grade 6 elixir!
What does that mean?
Throughout the entire Qin Empire, the highest-ranking alchemist was only fourth-rank.
A person of the fourth rank would be a VIP even in the imperial palace, and would be treated with deference even by emperors.
It is evident that even fourth-grade pills are extremely rare and have a price but no market.
But now, Zhang Yun simply pulls out a porcelain bottle from his pocket and claims it contains sixth-grade pills—that's simply impossible!
With this thought in mind, Luo Lin gradually calmed down, and his tone turned colder.
"Zhang Yun, what is the meaning of you mocking me like this?"
The reason Luo Lin refrained from saying harsh words to Zhang Yun was because a sliver of hope still lingered deep within him.
What if what Zhang Yun said is true?
Wouldn't that allow him to break through the realm that has trapped him for so many years?
"How could this disciple dare to joke about such a thing?"
Luo Lin's series of reactions were within Zhang Yun's expectations: "As long as the sect leader agrees to postpone the wedding for a month, I will give this Imperial Pill to the sect leader."
"Of course, the sect leader can also invite professionals to authenticate the pills. If they are fake, Zhang Yun is willing to accept any punishment from the sect leader."
Seeing Zhang Yun's serious expression, which clearly didn't seem like he was joking, Luo Lin's eyes flashed with surprise.
The fact that he could say such a thing means that the pill is very likely real.
"Let me, the sect leader, take a look first."
To be honest, Luo Lin was really tempted. Whether it was true or not, such a temptation was considerable for someone whose cultivation had made almost no progress over the years.
As we all know, the higher the realm, the greater the difficulty of cultivation, and the more time and effort it takes.
Reaching the Heavenly Gang Realm level presents even more hurdles, with the early, middle, and late stages being particularly difficult to overcome.
This is why Luo Lin's cultivation level has been stuck at the third level of the Heavenly Gang Realm for a full ten years, and he has not yet broken through to the middle stage of the Heavenly Gang Realm.
If he can successfully break through, not only will his personal strength achieve a qualitative leap, but the status of the entire Yunwu Sect in the Great Qin Empire will also rise accordingly, and it may even be able to join the ranks of quasi-first-class forces!
After calming himself down, Luo Lin, while still holding onto a sliver of hope, also prepared for the worst. If the pill was indeed fake, he wouldn't be too disappointed.
But if that's the case, Zhang Yun will be the one who suffers.
He slowly opened the bottle and gently poured out the contents. Luo Lin could immediately see a round, lustrous pill, as smooth as jade, lying quietly in his palm. The rich aroma of the medicine also quietly filled his nose and lingered for a long time.
"This...this really is a pill, and it's of a pretty high grade!"
Luo Lin's heart was already subtly becoming excited.
Although he wasn't an alchemist, he still had some basic eyesight.
However, he could only confirm these two points; as for the grade of the elixir, he had no idea.
The pills are not poison, and Zhang Yun has no reason to harm him. It is enough to be certain of these two points!
only……
"If it is truly as you say, so extremely rare that even searching the entire Qin Empire would not yield a single sixth-grade pill, how could it be in your possession, and how could you even know its medicinal effects?"
Looking at Zhang Yun again, Luo Lin's gaze had subtly changed.
At that moment, many thoughts flashed through his mind!
"To be honest, because of a fortuitous encounter a year ago, I had the good fortune to meet a true sixth-grade alchemist."
Zhang Yun had already prepared his explanation: "In the eyes of a sixth-grade alchemist, I am just an ordinary member of the masses, not worthy of his attention at all. But he seemed to see my potential at a glance and said that I have the qualifications to become an alchemist."
"From that time on, I became a disciple of that sixth-grade alchemist. As long as I worked hard and passed his test, I could follow him and learn the art of alchemy."
"This pill was also a gift from him when I became his disciple. He said that I would need it one day, and if I didn't, I would just have to accept my fate."
As Luo Lin listened to Zhang Yun's explanation, the expression in his eyes kept changing, but in the end, a deep smile appeared in his eyes.
“Zhang Yun, I’ve said it before, your future prospects and achievements are beyond what an old man like me can imagine.”
"If you really become an alchemist in the future, it's not impossible for you to catch up with a peerless genius like Zhang Hao. Work hard, I believe in you!"

Not everything Luo Lin said was a lie.
It's important to know that the profession of alchemist is extremely rare on the Cloud Sky Continent.
