The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1737: Chapter 1737: Proving Oneself

The Extreme Land Square did not quiet down just because Jing Yan was practicing alchemy.

It’s not that these cultivators were unaware of the taboos during alchemy; they probably did not deliberately intend to disturb Jing Yan. It’s just that his alchemical movements and methods seemed too frivolous to them.

"Pill Master Jing Yan is practicing alchemy, please quiet down for a while,"

Tu Sen surveyed the surroundings, speaking out.

With the Tu Clan Chief’s word, the noisy discussions gradually quieted down.

"Chief Tu, you are being overly cautious. Jing Yan himself hasn’t asked everyone to be quiet," Zhao Ming timely interjected.

He was hinting that since Jing Yan hadn’t asked for silence, Tu Sen was inviting hostility by asking it.

"Clan Leader Zhao, you’re not a Pill Master, so it’s normal not to know that silence is needed during alchemy," Tu Sen said impassively, clearly mocking Zhao Ming for his ignorance.

"Hmph, I’d like to see how he manages to refine the Dancing Crane Elixir here," Zhao Ming snorted coldly.

In the Zhao Clan, there were also Pill Masters capable of refining the Dancing Crane Elixir. However, the success rate was very low; it often took more than a dozen batches of materials to produce a single batch of the elixir. Such a consumption was indeed quite substantial.

Moreover, refining a batch of the Dancing Crane Elixir required a considerable amount of time. After attempting to refine such a batch, a Pill Master, regardless of success, needed to rest and recuperate their spent energy.

This fact holds not only for the Zhao Clan but also for other Five-star forces. This is why the Dancing Crane Elixirs of Five-star forces are strictly guarded, and it is virtually impossible to find them outside, even if one is willing to spend more Wizard Crystals.

Another tea time passed.

Jing Yan put away the Divine Power, gently exhaled,

He glanced around at the numerous eyes fixed on him, finally focusing again on Tu Sen, not far in front of him.

"Chief Tu, sorry to keep you waiting," Jing Yan said to Tu Sen.

"Pill Master Jing Yan, you’re too polite, you’re practicing alchemy, no need to mind me. When refining elixirs, one must not be distracted," Tu Sen hurriedly replied, gesturing for Jing Yan to continue his alchemy.

"Indeed, during alchemy, one must not be distracted, or the failure rate will greatly increase. However, now, this batch of elixir is already completed," Jing Yan said with a smile.

"What?" Tu Sen was stunned.

The surrounding cultivators also stared slack-jawed at Jing Yan.

Completed?

Only a little over thirty minutes in total.

Refining the top-tier Divine Pill, the Dancing Crane Elixir, in around thirty minutes? Is this a joke?

"This batch of elixir is already finished," Jing Yan repeated.

"Ha ha, so that’s it. From the beginning, you didn’t intend to succeed, right? Just putting on a show in front of us, then telling us it failed. Jing Yan, what were you trying to do?" Zhao Ming sneered upon recovering.

Upon hearing Zhao Ming, others realized that Jing Yan had failed in refining this batch of elixir.

To fail at refining the Dancing Crane Elixir in just thirty minutes wasn’t something an ordinary Pill Master could do! Unless he never intended to successfully produce the elixir in the first place, that would make sense.

"Such a waste of materials."

"Yes, the materials for a batch of Dancing Crane Elixir aren’t cheap," someone remarked.

Jing Yan glanced at Zhao Ming, his lips curving into a smile, but he remained silent.

Jing Yan reached out and opened the furnace. Divine Power circulated, and the elixirs within the furnace turned into streams of light, shooting out, hovering above Jing Yan’s palm.

The Dancing Crane Elixir.

The dignitaries from Five-star forces all gazed at the Dancing Crane Elixir above Jing Yan’s palm. Many Great Witch Realm cultivators were quite familiar with it, as quite a few had used it for cultivation.

Unexpectedly, these few Dancing Crane Elixirs did not dissipate after being taken out. Even after some time, the elixirs showed no changes.

"It succeeded?"

"This batch of Dancing Crane Elixir was successfully refined?"

"This..."

"Oh my! Just how did Jing Yan refine the elixir?"

"He’s definitely not an ordinary Divine Pill Master; he must be a Holy Alchemist. Not just any Holy Alchemist, but an exceptionally powerful one. My heavens, to refine a batch of Dancing Crane Elixir in such a short thirty-minute span. No, count them; one, two, three... nine elixirs, a full nine Dancing Crane Elixirs!"

Exclamations echoed through the entire Extreme Land Square.

Above Jing Yan’s palm, a total of nine Dancing Crane Elixirs spun round and round.

This batch of Dancing Crane Elixir refined by Jing Yan comprised nine elixirs. A single batch can at most produce nine elixirs.

In truth, when refining the Dancing Crane Elixir, Jing Yan doesn’t always get nine elixirs. Most of the time, when refining a challenging Divine Pill, the number of formed pills ranges from six to nine.

This time, refining in public, producing nine elixirs, even Jing Yan was a little surprised. He hadn’t been overly focused during the process.

Zhao Ming, the Clan Leader of the Zhao Clan, stood there, totally stunned.

"He’s the most capable Pill Master in the entire history of the Witch Realm."

Though some previously doubted Jing Yan’s alchemy ability, witnessing him demonstrate unmatched alchemy skills publicly, they could no longer deny it, even if reluctantly.

"Alchemist Tu Yang, now you should understand how many elixirs I can produce if I remain here for a month, right?" Jing Yan looked at Tu Yang and said.

It was due to Tu Yang’s earlier doubts that led Jing Yan to show his alchemy skills publicly.

"Mr. Jing Yan, I apologize. Your energy in the Alchemy Dao is beyond my imagination. I hope Mr. Jing Yan doesn’t consider my ignorance," Tu Yang bowed his head, apologizing to Jing Yan.

Tu Yang was indeed intensely shocked.

He was the most capable Pill Master in the Tu Clan, and even in the Shamanic Clouds Domain or the entire Witch Realm, his alchemy abilities were considered top-notch. Yet, compared with Jing Yan’s demonstrated abilities, he was not even comparable to mud amidst clouds and mud.

Jing Yan smiled, shaking his head, and put away the nine Dancing Crane Elixirs.

"Chief Tu, I will stay at Maoqiong Ridge for a month. During this period, I will help you refine some challenging Divine Pills; be ready with the materials," Jing Yan said to Tu Sen.

"Great! Mr. Jing Yan, thank you so much. I’ll get prepared right away. Xuan’er, accompany Mr. Jing Yan for a while," Even Tu Sen, trembled with excitement in his voice.
