Chapter 694: Chapter 694 Outrageous

These actions were of course intentional on Jing Yan’s part.

Upon the descent of the Law, it was a sign that a Perfect Elixir had been created. Jing Yan did not wish for the Hall Masters to know that the Ten Thousand Spirit Returning to Origin Pill he refined had reached Perfect Quality.

It wasn’t that Jing Yan wanted to be low-key at this moment, but rather he wanted to hoard the Perfect Elixir for himself.

If the Hall Masters knew the pill had achieved perfection, it would be quite awkward when the time came to hand over the elixirs to the Seventh Hall Master and none of them were of Perfect Quality, wouldn’t it?

The descending rainbow Power of Laws quickly merged into the Ten Thousand Spirit Returning to Origin Pill and then vanished without a trace.

Jing Yan withdrew his Divine Soul and then looked at the freshly produced elixirs.

Eight!

Eight formed pills from one Pill Furnace!

The ultimate achievement for one batch of elixirs was nine formed pills, but that was just in theory. Eight formed pills were already the stuff of legends.

Of the eight Ten Thousand Spirit Returning to Origin Pills, shockingly, four were of Perfect Quality, and the other four were First-class.

Even Jing Yan was quite satisfied with his alchemy results this time; he chuckled softly, nodding to himself and then stored away the eight elixirs.

After that, Jing Yan sat down cross-legged.

Only three days had passed, and Jing Yan did not want to come out so early.

In the front hall!

Saint Master Shen Chong’s eyes flickered slightly, involuntarily glancing deeply towards the back of the Great Hall.

No one else seemed to have detected the anomaly that had just occurred, but Shen Chong still sensed that mysterious fluctuation. His first thought was that it was the power of the Law.

"The descent of the Law indicates a Perfect Elixir?" Shen Chong murmured to himself internally.

Could it be that the Ten Thousand Spirit Returning to Origin Pill Jing Yan had refined achieved Perfect Quality? Upon this thought, Shen Chong couldn’t help but be astonished. It seemed rather preposterous for a Ninth-level Elixir to have been refined to Perfect Quality.

Even before the war between the Human Gods, those who were called Pill Gods among alchemists, found it extremely difficult to refine Ninth-level Perfect Elixirs.

Shen Chong did not voice his doubts to others, because the descent of the Law was exceedingly fleeting, just a moment coming and going in an instant. First, he was unsure whether it indeed was the descent of the Law; second, if it truly was, it was very strange. Perhaps Jing Yan deliberately used some method to interfere, and if so, Jing Yan did not want others to know that a Perfect Elixir was achieved.

Four more days passed, and Jing Yan flashed out of the Qiankun Small World, appearing again in an inner hall room. After adjusting his clothing, he walked outside.

Counting from when Jing Yan entered the inner hall for alchemy, a mere seven days had passed.

When Jing Yan appeared in the front hall, it goes without saying that it was completely beyond what the Hall Masters could have anticipated; they were very surprised to see Jing Yan walking out from the inner hall.

Why did he come out all of a sudden? Did he fail halfway through?

"The Great Alchemist King, Jing Yan?" After blinking in surprise, the Seventh Hall Master was the first to speak up.

The Hall Master sighed inwardly, affirming to himself that not having any expectations from the start was the right approach. Just seven days had passed, and Jing Yan had come out, clearly indicating the alchemy was over, and the result was failure. If the alchemy wasn’t finished, Jing Yan would not have left the Pill Furnace, much less walked out inexplicably.

Thus, the only possibility was that the alchemy was finished - he must have failed midway through and could not continue refining, which is why he came out so quickly.

The Third Hall Master’s face showed a hint of joy, wearing an "I knew it" expression.

"Seventh Hall Master!" Jing Yan responded.

"Seventh Hall Master, I warned you before, that it’s not easy to gather those materials. Such a waste it is, truly a pity," the Third Hall Master said with a sarcastic tone.

"How could it be a waste? I gathered the materials and asked Great Alchemist King Jing Yan to perform alchemy, all for a glimmer of hope. If successful, then great; if not, it’s not a big deal," the Seventh Hall Master replied with a smile.

At the same time, she also glanced at Hu Donghe. Now, Hu Donghe would certainly take it a hundred percent seriously to refine the Ten Thousand Spirit Returning to Origin Pill for her, right?

Other Hall Masters sighed softly, while some remained silent.

"Seventh Hall Master, this is for you," Jing Yan took out four elixirs and indifferently passed them to the Seventh Hall Master.

Four dark gold elixirs, with a faint light halo swirling around them, emitted subtle energy fluctuations.

"Great Alchemist King Jing Yan, what is this?" the Seventh Hall Master frowned.

Seeing Jing Yan hand her four elixirs, she didn’t react immediately. Her first thought was that Jing Yan was compensating her for her loss with some elixirs, never considering the possibility that Jing Yan had successfully refined the elixir.

After all, refining the Ten Thousand Spirit Returning to Origin Pill is extremely difficult. Even a successful refining would be fortunate to yield one pill, and two would be a surprise.

As for four pills?

That was out of the question—an impossibility.

"These are your elixirs! I lived up to expectations, this batch yielded four Ten Thousand Spirit Returning to Origin Pills," Jing Yan said with a smile.

"What?" The Seventh Hall Master gasped sharply, exclaiming in shock.

The others also widened their eyes, staring at the four elixirs in Jing Yan’s hand.

Upon closer inspection, they were startled to find that the elixirs in Jing Yan’s hand indeed looked identical to the Ten Thousand Spirit Returning to Origin Pill. These Hall Masters were among the most superior beings on the continent, and even if some had never used the Ten Thousand Spirit Returning to Origin Pill, they had certainly seen it.

The elixirs that Jing Yan brought out appeared to be exactly the same as the Ten Thousand Spirit Returning to Origin Pill, in both shape and aura.

The Hall Masters held their breath in anticipation!

If these four elixirs were truly Ten Thousand Spirit Returning to Origin Pills...

Hu Donghe stood by, exceptionally calm. He had complete confidences in Jing Yan, so the sight of Jing Yan producing four Ten Thousand Spirit Returning to Origin Pills did not surprise him at all.

"Great Alchemist King Jing Yan, are these truly Ten Thousand Spirit Returning to Origin Pills?" The Seventh Hall Master’s breathing grew heavy, she felt her mouth dry, and her eyes were aflame with a fervent glow, fixed on the elixirs in Jing Yan’s hand.

"Seventh Hall Master, just take a look and you’ll know," Jing Yan said with a laugh.

Upon hearing this, the Seventh Hall Master, Leng Hongying, trembled slightly as she took the four elixirs.

"These... these are First-class Elixirs!" The Seventh Hall Master’s heart pounded, "All of them are of First-class Quality!"

"Impossible!" The Third Hall Master roared.

His face contorted, and a cold light flickered in his eyes.

"Seventh Hall Master, these elixirs must be fake pills; you can’t be deceived!"

"It has only been seven days since Jing Yan started to refine the elixir. How could he possibly have produced a Ninth-level Elixir? He himself said before that it would take at least ten days to half a month, and now it’s only been seven days."

"Humph, I think he might have embezzled your materials and then concocted a few fake pills to deceive you," accused the Third Hall Master fiercely, with an edge of madness.

Hearing this, a ’thud’ echoed in the Seventh Hall Master’s heart, as she considered the possibility. The materials for a Ten Thousand Spirit Returning to Origin Pill were immensely precious, and it was not entirely improbable that Jing Yan could have taken them for himself.

The others also showed expressions of doubt. Even though the elixirs Jing Yan produced looked no different from real Ten Thousand Spirit Returning to Origin Pills, if these were fake pills meant to deceive, then they would certainly be hard to differentiate by their appearance alone, otherwise, they wouldn’t serve their purpose as counterfeits.
