Xi Mang really didn't expect Jing Yan to challenge him. So for a moment, he was a little dazed.
It had to be said that Xi Mang, a seventh grade alchemist, was very famous throughout The kingdom of dan. Ever since he became a level-seven alchemist, many people have fawned on him and complimented him. Not only the Youhai chamber of commerce, but also the outside world respected him very much. At this time, a young alchemist in his twenties actually wanted to challenge him in alchemy!
Xi Mang frowned.
There was a sneer on the corner of his mouth, a little disdainful.
"Boy, I am not someone you can challenge just because you want to. However, I can give you a chance. I have a disciple named Qiu Fang. He is only a fifth grade alchemist. Why don't you try to refine pills with him?" Xi Mang looked away from jingyan.
He was putting on airs.
Xi Mang did not believe that Jing Yan was a level six alchemist at all, and with his status, of course, not anyone could challenge him. What was his identity? What was Jing Yan's identity? If he was competing with Jing Yan in alchemy, even if he could beat Jing Yan, there was nothing worth showing off.
In his opinion, the gap between the two sides was too big. However, if he refused directly, he was worried that other people would gossip and that president Qing Ru would not be able to come down, so let his disciple Qiu Fang come forward and teach this ungrateful boy a good lesson. His disciple, Qiu Fang, was also very talented in Dan Dao. He was already a fifth grade alchemist before he was 60 years old.
Throughout the continent, Qiu Fang's talent in Dan Dao was also commendable. There was absolutely nothing wrong with Qiu Fang dealing with Jing Yan.
Qiu Fang was also one of the alchemists who participated in the alchemy ceremony on behalf of the Youhai chamber of commerce. Qiu Fang and other people's qualification to participate in the competition was to occupy the Youhai chamber of commerce's internal quota.
"Fifth grade alchemist?" Jing Yan laughed.
"That's right, it's a level five alchemist. If you can defeat my disciple Qiu Fang, then I, Xi Mang, agree with you and apologize to you." Xi Mang shouted in a low voice, but he was straightforward.
"Okay, no problem." Jing Yan didn't care who the opponent was.
All the directors in the hall had their eyes exposed, but no one said anything more. Anyway, after Jing Yan and Qiu Fang fought, the truth was out. If jing yan lost to Qiu Fang, then president Qing Ru would be too embarrassed to mention the matter of spending 20 million Lingshi to let Jing Yan endorse the Youhai chamber of commerce. If Qing Ru insists, they have every reason to object.
"Jing Yandanshi, do you really want to compete with Master qiu fangdan in alchemy?" Qing Ru looked at Jing Yan.
"Yes, president Qing Ru." Jing Yan nodded.
Qing Ru's brows were slightly raised, but there was no objection. In fact, she was a little curious. She believed that Zhou Shangyun was one thing, but she also wanted to determine whether Jing Yan was a sixth grade alchemist or not. Since Jing Yan was willing, there was no need for her to stop him.
Soon, a man in a yellow robe was called over.
"I have met the president and the directors!" The man saluted Qing Ru and the others.
"Master qiu fangdan, there's no need to be polite." Qing Ru said with a smile.
"Qiu Fang, I asked you to come over. I have something you need to do..." Xi Mang explained the whole thing roughly.
As Xi Mang spoke, Qiu Fang looked at Jing Yan.
Twenty-three years old?
A sixth grade alchemist?
Qiu Fang shook his head slightly. He did not believe that jing yan could be a sixth grade alchemist. He had been in The kingdom of dan for so long that he had never seen a level six alchemist in his twenties. Throughout Tianyuan continent, he did not know if there were any sixth grade alchemists in their twenties, but in The kingdom of dan, there seemed to be no such alchemists.
"Jing Yandanshi, what kind of elixir do you want to make?" Qiu fang looked at Jing Yan and asked.
He was a fifth grade alchemist, so he definitely couldn't refine a sixth grade alchemy. If jing yan said that the competition between the two was to refine level six pills, then there was obviously a problem.
After Qiu Fang asked, everyone looked at Jing Yan and waited for Jing Yan to tell them what kind of elixir he had refined.
"Master qiu fangdan is a fifth grade alchemist, so please ask Master qiu fangdan to suggest it." Jing Yan narrowed his eyes.
"Oh?" Qiu Fang's eyes froze.
Xi Mang and the others were also slightly surprised.
"How about we refine the Zhu yingdan?" Qiu fang paused and said.
Zhu yingdan, is a level five pill, and it is a common level five pill. Generally speaking, a level five alchemist can basically refine Zhu yingdan. This kind of pill is relatively basic and relatively simple to refine. When a level-four dan master began to prepare for the promotion of a martial arts dan master, the most common was to test zhu yingdan. If the refining was successful, it would represent this dan master and successfully promoted to a level-five dan master.
"Sure, I'll be fine." Jing Yan nodded.
Seeing that jingyan agreed, Qiu Fang waved his arm and a huge black furnace appeared in front of him.
As a alchemist, he would naturally carry the alchemy stove with him. What Qiu Fang had just done was to take out the alchemy stove in his Sumi ring.
Jing Yan hesitated.
Of course, he also had a pill stove, but that was the heaven and earth pill stove. Although no one here should know the alchemy of the universe, jingyan was afraid that something might go wrong. The alchemy of the universe is absolutely extraordinary. If someone recognized it, the consequences would be difficult to control.
"Jing Yan, where's your alchemy stove?" Xi Mang urged Jing Yan when he saw that he was slow to move.
The others, too, looked at Jing Yan. Even president Qing Ru's eyes fell on Jing Yan.
Generally speaking, a low-level alchemist would have his own commonly used alchemy stove, let alone to reach the level of a fifth or sixth grade alchemist. For a alchemist, an alchemist is like a weapon to a warrior. Once he is used to it, he does not like to change it. Jing Yan's Heavenly fire sword took a long time to get the sword from the head of the wen family.
"President Qing Ru, could you please have someone send over a furnace?" After thinking about it, Jing Yan decided not to take out the alchemy stove. Anyway, the opponent was only a level five alchemist, and Jing Yan was confident that he would have no problem using any alchemy stove.
Jing Yan didn't think anything was wrong, but everyone else in the room stared at him.
This Jing Yan, actually asked president Qing Ru to send someone to send a pill stove, did he not have a pill stove?
Jing yan said he was a sixth grade alchemist, but he didn't even have a furnace? Isn't that ridiculous?
"Jing Yan, if you give up now, it's still too late. As long as you admit that you lied, the Youhai chamber of commerce won't pursue you too much. After you admit that you are a liar, you can leave the Youhai chamber of commerce freely. I promise I won't stop you." Xi Mang frowned and said to jingyan.
The others, looking at Jing Yan, also revealed some coldness.
"President Qing Ru, please have someone send over a furnace." Jing Yan ignored Xi Mang and continued to look at Qing Ru.
"In that case, don't blame me for falling out after the competition!" Xi Mang said this to Qing Ru.
"Jing Yandanshi, please wait!" Qing Ru's face became serious.
A level-six alchemist, without his own alchemy stove, who could believe this?
Qing Ru ordered that a furnace be sent over.
While waiting, Qing Ru also looked at Zhou Shangyun, and she began to suspect something. She really trusted Zhou Shangyun, but jing yan's performance now really made it hard to believe that he would be a level six alchemist.
Zhou Shangyun, on the other hand, showed no signs of anxiety. He absolutely believed in Jing Yan. Not only did Jing Yan compete with Qiu Fang, but also with Xi Mang, the seventh grade alchemist. As long as he didn't refine the seventh grade alchemy, Zhou Shangyun would think that jing yan could defeat Xi Mang.
The people from the chamber of commerce quickly sent over an alchemy stove. This alchemy furnace, the quality is also good, much higher than the common alchemy furnace on the market. Along with the alchemy furnace, there were also many materials needed to refine the Zhu yingdan, all neatly arranged.
"Jing Yandanshi, can we start now?" Qiu fang looked at Jing Yan and asked.
"Sure!" Jing Yan nodded.
Hearing Jing Yan's words, qiu jian started to move, urging his energy to fill the furnace, and then put a variety of materials into the furnace.
Jingyan, on the other hand, looked at Qiu Fang's movements slowly and casually.
This Qiu Fang, in the alchemy attainments, is indeed very good, the basic skills are very solid.
"Boy, this alchemy isn't something you can imitate on the spot. Don't waste your time. Let's get started." Xi Mang urged. When he saw Jing Yan watching Qiu Fang's alchemy, he thought Jing Yan was trying to imitate Qiu Fang's movements.
But how could this alchemy be successfully imitated? Not to mention the fifth grade elixirs, even the first grade elixirs and even those low-level elixirs can not be easily imitated to succeed.
Jing Yan smiled and moved.
A variety of spiritual herbs were placed in the furnace in front of Jing Yan. Jing Yan's movements were very casual, as if he had just put the materials into the furnace, and there was no such prudence as the ordinary alchemists used to refine pills. You know, even a master like Xi Mang could not be 100 % successful in refining level five pills.
"Is this alchemy?"
"This is a waste of materials, right? How could there be such alchemy?"
"Looks like he's really a liar!" Whispers were heard.
These people's voices were very low, but with the power of jingyan's ears, they could hear them clearly.
The smile on Xi Mang's face grew bigger and bigger.
Time passed quickly, and Jing Yan stopped. He squinted.
Qiu Fang, on the other hand, continued. Qiu Fang was a level five alchemist, refining Zhu yingdan, and he didn't dare to be careless, so he was very careful and carefully refining. It seemed that it would take another hour for Qiu Fang to refine this batch of pills.
More than an hour later, Qiu Fang exhaled.
Only then did he look at Jing Yan.
"Hmm?" Qiu Fang realized that Jing Yan didn't do anything. Was the refining over?
Jing Yan refines Zhu yingdan faster than he does?
"Qiu Fang, take dan!" Xi Mang said to Qiu Fang.
"Yes, master!" Qiu Fang answered without hesitation. He opened the furnace.
A few red pills were taken out of the furnace and were not dispersed. This shows that Qiu Fang's batch of Zhu yingdan was successfully refined.
"One, two, three, four..."
"Congratulations to Master qiu fangdan!"
"Haha, Master qiu fangdan is indeed one of the most outstanding alchemists in our Youhai chamber of commerce. This batch of Zhu yingdan has four pills. It's amazing!"
"Master qiu fangdan will become a sixth grade alchemist within a hundred years of age."
"...
Voices were heard in the main hall.
"Qiu Fang, let me see your Zhu yingdan!" Xi Mang opened his mouth with a smug look on his face. Qiu Fang was his disciple, and Qiu Fang did a good job. Naturally, his master's face shone.
"Not bad, not bad. One is second class, three is third class, very good!" After seeing Qiu Fang's pills, Xi Mang nodded in satisfaction.
"Jing Yan, are you finished refining?" Xi Mang couldn't wait to look at Jing Yan.
"It's over." Jing Yan nodded.
"Since it's over, please turn on the stove!" A sinister smile appeared at the corner of Xi Mang's mouth.
Jing Yan stretched out his arm and activated a burst of energy to open the furnace. Energy, drag the pill in the furnace, slowly fly out.
"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven..."
"This..."
"Seven pills?"
Above Jing Yan's palm, seven red pills floated gently, and a faint energy wave spread across the pills.
After waiting for a moment, the crowd realized that none of the seven pills had broken down. In other words, Jing Yan really made seven pills.
"How is that possible?" Xi Mang's eyes were about to pop out.
Qiu Fang, too, held his breath, his face filled with disbelief. He had four pills, which was already a little beyond his level. Under normal circumstances, he refined Zhu yingdan, mostly two to three pills, sometimes one pill, and even failure is possible. Jing yan, on the other hand, produced seven Zhu yingdan. How is that possible?
Xi Mang was obviously the most impatient person. Before Jing Yan could speak, he stepped up to Jing Yan.
"Let me see this pill!" Xi Mang reached out his hand.
Jing yan glanced at Xi Mang and pushed the pill over.
Xi Mang took the pill and carefully identified it.
Other directors, including president Qing Ru, were waiting for Xi Mang.
"How is this possible, a first-class Zhu yingdan? How is this possible? This is impossible!" As a seventh grade alchemist, Xi Mang would not have any problems identifying the quality of the Zhu yingdan.
When Jing Yan took out seven Zhu yingdan, although he was shocked, he still thought in his heart that this might not be the real Zhu yingdan, perhaps it was defective. Now that he had personally identified them, he suddenly realized that all seven Zhu yingdan were of first-class quality.
Even the four Zhu yingdan refined by his disciple Qiu Fang were only one of the second-class and three of the third-class.
And the Zhu yingdan refined by jingyan not only has seven pills in one batch, but all of them are of first-class quality!
After hearing Xi Mang's words, the whole hall quieted down, and everyone's face was filled with disbelief.
In fact, they did not know that this was Jing Yan's more casual refining, if Jing Yan really put 100 % of his spirit into refining this batch of Zhu yingdan, then this batch of elixirs, it is likely to have perfect quality.
