Chapter 522: Seven Chengdans
Xi Mang really didn't expect that Jing Yan would dare to challenge him. So for a while, he was a little dazed.
It has to be said that Xi Mang, a seventh-level alchemist, is well-known in the entire alchemy country. Since he became a seventh-level alchemist, many people have fawned on him and flattered him, not only the people from Youhai Chamber of Commerce, but also people outside respect him very much. But at this time, a young alchemist in his twenties actually wanted to challenge him in alchemy!
Simon frowned.
There was a sneer on the corner of his mouth, a little disdainful.
"Boy, I, Xi Mang, is not someone you can challenge if you want to. However, I can give you a chance. I have a disciple named Qiu Fang, and he is only a fifth-level alchemist. How about this, you can compete with him Alchemy." Xi Mang turned his gaze away from Jing Yan.
He's putting on airs.
Xi Mang didn't believe that Jing Yan was a sixth-level alchemist at all, and with his status, of course, he couldn't be challenged by just anyone. What is his identity? What is Jing Yan's identity? If he competes with Jing Yan in alchemy, even if he can beat Jing Yan, there is nothing worth showing off.
In his view, the gap between the two sides is too great. However, if he refused directly, he was a little worried that other people would gossip, and it would also make President Qing Ru unable to step down, so he asked his disciple Qiu Fang to come forward and teach this ignorant kid a lesson. His disciple Qiu Fang is also very talented in alchemy, he is already a fifth-level alchemist before he is sixty years old.
In the entire continent, Qiu Fang's talent in alchemy is also remarkable. There is absolutely nothing wrong with letting Qiu Fang deal 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. The qualifications for Qiu Fang and others all occupy the quota within the Youhai Chamber of Commerce.
"Fifth-level alchemist?" Jing Yan smiled when he heard this.
"That's right, a fifth-level alchemist. If you can defeat my disciple Qiu Fang, then I, Simao, agree with you and apologize to you." Simao whispered, but he was straightforward.
"Okay, no problem." Jing Yan didn't care who his opponent was.
All the directors in the hall also showed their eyes, but no one said anything more. Anyway, after the contest between Jing Yan and Qiu Fang, the truth will become clear. If Jing Yan lost to Qiu Fang, then the president Qing Ru would probably be ashamed to mention the matter of spending 20 million spirit stones for Jing Yan to speak for Youhai Chamber of Commerce. If Qingru insisted, then they had every reason to object.
"Alchemist Jing Yan, do you really want to compete with Alchemist Qiu Fang in alchemy?" Qing Ru looked at Jing Yan.
"Yes, President Qingru." Jing Yan nodded.
Qingru's willow eyebrows are lightly clustered,
But there was no objection. In fact, she was also a little curious. She believes that Zhou Shangyun is one thing, but she also wants to make sure whether Jing Yan is a sixth-level alchemist. Since Jing Yan wanted it herself, there was no need for her to stop it.
Soon, a man in a yellow robe was called over.
"I have met the president, I have met all the directors!" The man greeted Qing Ru and the others.
"Alchemist Qiu Fang, there is no need to be polite." Qing Ru said with a smile.
"Qiu Fang, I asked you to come here, I have something for you to do..." Simao briefly explained the matter.
While Xi Mang was speaking, Qiu Fang looked at Jing Yan.
Twenty-three?
A sixth-level alchemist?
Qiu Fang shook his head slightly, he also didn't believe that Jing Yan could be a sixth-level alchemist. He has been in Dan country for so long, and he has never seen a sixth-level alchemist in his twenties. In the entire Tianyuan Continent, he didn't know if there was a sixth-level alchemist in his twenties, but in the alchemy country, there seemed to be no such alchemist.
"Alchemy Master Jing Yan, what kind of elixir do you want to refine?" Qiu Fang looked at Jing Yan and asked.
He is a fifth-level alchemist, so he must not be able to refine a sixth-level elixir. If Jing Yan said that the competition between the two was to refine a sixth-level elixir, then there was obviously something wrong.
After Qiu Fang asked, everyone present looked at Jing Yan, waiting for Jing Yan to tell what kind of elixir to refine.
"Alchemist Qiu Fang is a fifth-level alchemist, so please ask Alchemist Qiu Fang to make a suggestion." Jing Yan narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Oh?" Qiu Fang's eyes narrowed.
Simao and the others were also a little surprised.
"Then how about we refine Zhu Yingdan?" Qiu Fang said after a pause.
Zhu Yingdan is a fifth-level elixir, and it is a relatively common fifth-level elixir. Generally speaking, a fifth-level alchemist can basically refine Zhu Yingdan. This kind of elixir is a relatively basic elixir, and its refining is relatively simple. When a fourth-level alchemist is preparing to be promoted to a martial arts alchemist, the most common thing is to try Zhu Yingdan. If the refining is successful, it means that this alchemist has successfully promoted to a fifth-level alchemist.
"Okay, I'm fine." Jing Yan nodded and said.
Seeing that Jing Yan agreed, Qiu Fang waved his arm, and a huge black alchemy furnace suddenly appeared in front of him.
As an alchemist, he would naturally carry the alchemy furnace with him. What Qiu Fang did just now was to take out the alchemy furnace from his Sumeru ring.
Jing Yan hesitated a little.
Of course he also has a pill furnace, but that is the Qiankun pill furnace. Although it is said that no one here should know the Qiankun Pill Stove, Jing Yan is still afraid that something might go wrong. The Qiankun Pill Furnace is absolutely extraordinary, if someone recognizes it, the consequences will be difficult to control.
"Jing Yan, where's your alchemy furnace?" Seeing Jing Yan's delay, Xi Mang urged.
The others also looked at Jing Yan. Even President Qing Ru set his sights on Jing Yan.
Generally speaking, even low-level alchemists will have their own commonly used alchemy furnaces, let alone reach the level of fifth-level alchemists and sixth-level alchemists. To an alchemist, a pill furnace is like a weapon to a warrior. Once you get used to it, you don't like to change it. It took a long time for Jing Yan's Tianhuo sword, and he didn't replace it until he got the Taoist long sword from the head of the Wen family.
"President Qingru, can you ask someone to bring over a pill stove?" After thinking about it, Jing Yan still decided not to take out the Qiankun pill stove. Anyway, the opponent is only a fifth-level alchemist, Jing Yan is confident that he will have no problem with any alchemy furnace.
Jing Yan didn't think there was anything wrong, but the eyes of everyone else present widened.
This Jing Yan actually asked President Qing Ru to send someone to send a pill furnace. Doesn't it mean that he doesn't have a pill furnace himself?
Jing Yan said that he is a sixth-level alchemist, but he doesn't even have an alchemy furnace? This is too ridiculous, right?
"Jing Yan, if you give up now, there is still time. As long as you admit that you have lied, then Youhai Chamber of Commerce will not pursue you too much. After you admit that you are a liar, you can leave Youhai Chamber of Commerce freely. I promise not to stop you " Xi Mang frowned and said to Jing Yan.
The others, looking at Jing Yan, also showed some coldness.
"President Qingru, please send someone to send a pill furnace." Jing Yan ignored Xi Mang, but continued to look at Qingru.
"In this case, after a while, don't blame me for turning against me!" Xi Mang said this to Qing Ru.
"Alchemy Master Jing Yan, please wait a moment!" Qing Ru's face also became serious.
A sixth-level alchemist does not have his own alchemy furnace, so who can believe it?
Qingru ordered to go down and have someone deliver a pill furnace.
While waiting, Qingru also looked at Zhou Shangyun, and she began to have some doubts. She did trust Zhou Shangyun, but Jing Yan's current performance really made it impossible to believe that he would be a sixth-level alchemist.
As for Zhou Shangyun, he didn't show any anxious expression, he absolutely believed in Jing Yan. Don't say that Jing Yan is competing with Qiu Fang, it is a competition with Ximang, a seventh-level alchemist. As long as the refining is not a seventh-level elixir, Zhou Shangyun will think that Jing Yan can beat Ximang.
The people from the Chamber of Commerce quickly sent a pill furnace. The quality of this alchemy furnace is also good, much higher than the common alchemy furnaces on the market. Along with the alchemy stove, there were also many materials needed for refining Zhu Yingdan, all of which were neatly arranged.
"Alchemist Jing Yan, can we start?" Qiu Fang looked at Jing Yan and asked.
"Yes!" Jing Yan nodded.
Hearing Jing Yan's words, Qiu conveniently started to move, urging vitality to pour into the alchemy furnace, and then put various materials into the alchemy furnace.
As for Jing Yan, he looked at Qiu Fang's movements slowly and casually.
This Qiu Fang is indeed very good in alchemy, and his basic skills seem to be very solid.
"Boy, this alchemy is not something you can just imitate on the spot. Don't waste time, let's start now." Simao urged, seeing Jing Yan watching Qiu Fang alchemy, he only thought that Jing Yan was planning to imitate Qiu Fang's movements.
But this alchemy, how can it be successful by imitating it casually? Not to mention the fifth-level elixir, even the first-level elixirs and even those low-level medicines, it is impossible to imitate them casually and succeed.
Jing Yan smiled lightly and started to move.
A variety of spiritual herbs were put into the alchemy furnace in front of him by Jing Yan. Jing Yan's movements were very casual, as if he was putting materials into the pill furnace casually, he was not as prudent as ordinary alchemists when refining pills. You know, even an alchemist like Xi Mang can't say that he will be 100% successful in refining the fifth-level elixir.
"Is this alchemy?"
"Is this a waste of materials? How can there be such an alchemy?"
"Looks like he's really a liar!" A whisper came out.
The voices of these people are very low, but with Jing Yan's ear, they can hear clearly.
The smile on Simao's face grew wider and wider.
Time passed by in a hurry, Jing Yan's movements stopped, and he squinted his eyes.
On the other side, Qiu Fang is still going on. Qiu Fangzhi is a fifth-level alchemist, he did not dare to be careless when refining Zhu Yingdan, so he was very cautious and refined. It seems that after Qiu Fang finished refining this batch of pills, it might take another hour.
After another hour or so, Qiu Fang let out a breath.
Only then did he look at Jing Yan.
"Huh?" Qiu Fang noticed that Jing Yan didn't make any movements. Could it be that the refinement was over?
Jing Yan refined Zhu Yingdan faster than himself?
"Qiu Fang, take the pill!" Simao said to Qiu Fang.
"Yes, Master!" Qiu Fang responded without any hesitation, and he opened the pill furnace.
A few red pills were taken out from the pill furnace, and they condensed and did not disperse. This shows that Qiu Fang's furnace of Zhu Yingdan was successfully refined.
"one two three four……"
"Congratulations to alchemist Qiu Fang!"
"Haha, alchemist Qiu Fang is indeed one of the most outstanding alchemists in our Youhai Chamber of Commerce. This batch of Zhu Yingdan has four pills, which is amazing!"
"Alchemist Qiu Fang will definitely become a sixth-level alchemist within a hundred years old."
"..."
One after another voices spread in the hall.
"Qiu Fang, let me take a look at the Zhu Yingdan you refined!" Simang said, his face quite proud. Qiu Fang is his disciple, and if Qiu Fang behaves well, then his master's face will naturally shine.
"Not bad, one is second-class, three are third-class, very good!" After seeing Qiu Fang's elixir, Simao nodded in satisfaction.
"Jing Yan, are you finished refining?" Xi Mang looked at Jing Yan impatiently and asked.
"It's over." Jing Yan nodded.
"Since it's over, please turn on the stove!" A sinister smile appeared on the corner of Simao's mouth.
Jing Yan stretched out his arm, activated a burst of vitality, and opened the alchemy furnace. Vitality, dragging the elixir in the elixir furnace, slowly flew out.
"one two three four five six seven……"
"This……"
"Seven pills?"
I saw that above Jing Yan's palm, seven red pills were floating gently, and a faint energy fluctuation diffused on the pills.
Everyone waited for a while, and suddenly found that none of the seven pills collapsed. In other words, Jing Yan really refined seven pills.
"How is this possible?" Simao's eyes almost popped out.
Qiu Fang also held his breath, with a face full of disbelief. He has achieved four pills, which is already a bit super-level performance. Generally, when he refines Zhu Yingdan, most of them are two to three pills, sometimes one pill is made, and even failure is possible. But Jing Yan refined seven Zhu Yingdans, how is this possible?
Xi Mang was obviously the most impatient person, before Jing Yan could speak, he stepped up to Jing Yan's side.
"Let me see this elixir!" Simao stretched out his hand.
Jing Yan glanced at Xi Mang, and directly pushed the elixir in his hand over.
Xi Mang took the elixir and carefully identified it.
The other directors, including the chairman Qingru, stared at Simao.
"How is this possible, first-class Zhu Yingdan? How is this possible? This is impossible!" As a seventh-level alchemist, Xi Mang would naturally have no problem identifying Zhu Yingdan's quality.
When Jing Yan took out seven Zhu Yingdans, although he was shocked, he still thought in his heart that this might not be the real Zhu Yingdan, maybe it was a defective product. But now after identifying them himself, he suddenly discovered that the seven Zhu Yingdans were all of first-class quality.
Even among the four Zhu Yingdans refined by his disciple Qiu Fang, only one reached second-class, and three were third-class.
As for the Zhu Yingdan refined by Jing Yan, not only are there seven pills in one furnace, but all of them are of first-class quality!
After hearing Simao's words, the entire hall fell silent, and everyone's faces were full of disbelief.
In fact, they didn't know that this was refined by Jing Yan relatively casually. If Jing Yan really devoted 100% of his energy to refining this batch of Zhu Ying Dan, then this batch of pills would probably be of perfect quality.
