The Sword God of the Universe
Chapter 386 - 386 386 Frustrated Ji Yue

Chapter 386: Chapter 386: Frustrated Ji Yue Chapter 386: Chapter 386: Frustrated Ji Yue Ji Yue was at a loss for words!

His gaze fixed on Jing Yan, it wasn’t just his speech that was choked, his heart was too!

At this moment, he felt like a performing clown.

He was thoroughly convinced that Jing Yan couldn’t refine the Prolo Pill, especially since Jing Yan was a Second-level Alchemist and thus should not be capable of refining a Third-level Elixir.

And now, a single sentence from Jing Yan left him speechless.

He was certain that Jing Yan was a Second-level Alchemist because just now, Xu Dong and others had said so.

And Jing Yan had not refuted this at all.

Damn it!

If you’re a Third-level Alchemist, why didn’t you refute it?

It felt like ten thousand mud horses were stampeding through Ji Yue’s heart.

“Jing Yan!

Are you implying that you’re a Third-level Alchemist?” Xu Dong asked with a dark face, unable to hold back any longer.

When Jing Yan had joined the Alchemist Association, he was a Second-level Alchemist.

Had he really become a Third-level Alchemist in just over a year?

However, thinking about it, it wasn’t impossible for Jing Yan, who had become a Second-level Alchemist before the age of twenty, to be promoted to a Third-level Alchemist in just over a year.

“Yeah, I am a Third-level Alchemist!” Jing Yan said to Xu Dong with all seriousness.

“But when you joined the Alchemist Association, you were clearly a Second-level Alchemist,” Xu Dong gritted his teeth.

“Xu Dong, is your brain filled with piss?

I was a Second-level Alchemist when I joined the Alchemist Association.

Does that mean I can’t improve anymore?

What kind of logic is that?” Jing Yan retorted sarcastically.

Xu Dong’s eyes rolled back, nearly fainting on the spot.

This time, Lu Ru didn’t speak up, he became honest.

Looking at Ji Yue, then at Xu Dong, he felt truly embarrassed!

Lu Ru made up his mind that until he was absolutely certain, he wouldn’t speak another word.

“Jing Yan, what ingredients are required for the Prolo Pill?

Tell me, and I will have them prepared immediately,” Zhou Shangyun said, not caring at all about how Ji Yue was feeling at the time.

The reason he had shown respect to Ji Yue before was that he had been hoping Ji Yue could find a way to treat the old master.

Now that Jing Yan’s method seemed better, why should he consider Ji Yue any longer?

“The ingredients needed for the Prolo Pill should not be too difficult to find…” Jing Yan listed all the ingredients required for refining the Prolo Pill.

He wasn’t afraid that by revealing the ingredients for the Prolo Pill, others would figure out the method of refining it.

There were over a hundred ingredients required, and the alchemical steps were incredibly detailed.

Any misstep could lead to failure in the refinement process.

Simply knowing the ingredients hardly helped in discerning the refining steps.

Of course, to prevent any chance of others guessing, Jing Yan deliberately mentioned a few extra ingredients.

With some truth and some lies mixed, it would be even more unlikely for others to ascertain the correct method to refine the Prolo Pill.

“I’ll have them prepared right away,” Zhou Shangyun said excitedly.

“Little fellow, thank you for the trouble!” Zhou Tian squinted his eyes and nodded at Jing Yan.

“Old master, it’s no trouble at all, it’ll be ready soon!” Jing Yan replied with a smile.

Everyone left the modest residence where Zhou Tian lived, and Zhou Shangyun arranged a room for Jing Yan, preparing the Pill Furnace and materials.

“Friend Jing Yan, you really made quite a statement today, even overshadowing Pill Country’s Alchemist Ji Yue,” Mu Liantian said to Jing Yan with a smile.

When Jing Yan had initially offered to diagnose the old master, Mu Liantian had been sweating bullets, worrying that it might be a stunt to attract attention, which could have serious consequences.

Even with Bai Xue’s protection, Prince Zhou Shangyun might not let Jing Yan off.

The Prince was known for his volatile temper and was not fond of showoffs.

Fortunately, Jing Yan’s subsequent performance could truly be described as stunning and spectacular.

It rendered Ji Yue and the other alchemists speechless, left with no choice but to stand by and watch Jing Yan’s display.

“Lord Chief Manager, I really didn’t intend to do that, but some people just have to target me.

Since they dislike me, I can’t be too cowardly,” Jing Yan also said, laughing.

“Heh, that’s true,” Mu Liantian nodded, “Alright then, I won’t disturb your alchemy.”

With that, Mu Liantian left the room.

Inside the humble residence where Zhou Tian stayed!

“Xue’er, how did you come to know this young man Jing Yan?” Zhou Tian asked Bai Xue with a smile.

In the room at the time, there were only three people: Bai Xue, Zhou Tian, and Zhou Shangyun.

“Jing Yan is from the Jing Family in Donglin City.

I met him in the Moonlight Forest’s Sinful Canyon.

At that time, he hadn’t yet entered the Innate Realm.

He helped me with a favor, so I owe him one,” Bai Xue responded.

“Is it merely that you owe him a favor?” Zhou Tian said with a meaningful tone.

How could Zhou Tian not see that Bai Xue’s attitude towards Jing Yan was extraordinary?

Given Bai Xue’s character, her willingness to protect Jing Yan so decisively in front of so many people indicated that there was a significant issue!

It couldn’t be simply explained by owing a favor.

For such a long time, Bai Xue had never shown such attention to anyone.

Hearing Zhou Tian’s words, Bai Xue furrowed her brow.

“I’ve heard about this Jing Yan.

Over a year ago, during an examination by the Three Major Academies, he seems to have won a Golden Order by passing through the Heaven Array.

At less than twenty years old, his Martial Arts achievements are remarkable.

In the future, he’s likely to reach the Daoist Master Realm,” Zhou Shangyun slowly said.

The Daoist Master Realm was a Martial Arts Realm even more powerful than the Dao Spirit Realm.

Within the entire region of Lanqu County, the number of Martial Artists in the Daoist Master Realm was not very high.

“This young man really is extraordinary.

Both his Martial Arts Talent and Alchemy Talent are strong, a promising talent!” Zhou Tian nodded, “It’s just…

I’m afraid focusing on both could affect him.”

Both Martial Arts and Alchemy required an immense amount of energy and time.

On Heavenly Origin Continent, indeed, there were Martial Artists who were extremely powerful in both Martial Arts and Alchemy, but such people were very, very rare.

Most Martial Artists would choose to focus on one path for development.

“This young man is exceedingly clever; he should be able to prioritize correctly,” Zhou Shangyun mused.

“Grandfather, once Jing Yan refines the Prolo Pill, your Martial Arts Meridians will be able to recover,” Bai Xue mentioned.

“That’s not certain yet.

Even if Jing Yan refines the Prolo Pill, whether it will be effective is still hard to say.

Nevertheless, if the Prolo Pill proves ineffective, consider it a favor I owe to Jing Yan.

Don’t worry, Xue’er,” Zhou Tian said, his words laden with meaning.

Bai Xue’s cheeks flushed slightly!

Her feelings were obviously perceived by her grandfather Zhou Tian.

The previous remarks she made were meant to be a warning and a test.

She too was unsure if Jing Yan’s Prolo Pill would definitely be effective for Grandfather Zhou Tian’s Martial Arts Meridians.

Zhou Shangyun also looked thoughtfully at Bai Xue.
