Chapter 733: Chapter 733: Gui Yang Penetrated the [Fifth Watch]

Because of this, he had waited until the very end to step forward.

As for proposing the Longevity Pill Recipe as the stake, on one hand, Ghost Hand himself was likewise curious about the Longevity Pill and its recipe. His life span was also running low. On the other hand, he intended to use the Longevity Pill Recipe to fully repay the favors he owed the Gai Family.

Of course, if he really lost to Jing Yan, he would still owe nothing to the Gai Family. They had asked him to strike against Jing Yan, and he had agreed, committing to do his best. If he lost, it was regrettable, but the Gai Family could say nothing against him.

Guiyang watched Jing Yan, his face etched with the marks of years, wearing a faint smile.

He could see clearly that there was a trap laid out before him, one set by Jing Yan. Yet, it seemed he had no choice but to enter into it.

If he lost, he would have to join the Splendid Dojo and serve under Jing Yan.

"Guiyang Great Pill King, what do you think?" Jing Yan urged slightly.

"Acceptable," Guiyang similarly agreed.

When it came to the Alchemy Dao, Guiyang had full confidence; he did not believe Jing Yan could defeat him.

"Very well! Guiyang Great Pill King, let us not waste time then! Please outline how we will carry out the alchemy competition," Jing Yan said with a flash of brilliance in his eyes.

If he could bring Guiyang into the Splendid Dojo, then the Alchemy Dao Families of the Heavenly Origin Continent would essentially be in his grasp.

The major families on the Continent who wished to wrestle with him would have to weigh their odds carefully. Even the Alchemy Dao Families would have to obediently watch his expression.

At this thought, Jing Yan couldn’t help but feel a touch of excitement.

"Hall Master Jing Yan, let us compete by refining a batch of Ninth-level Elixirs! I don’t know if you know how to refine the Heavenly Snow Elixir, but if you do not, I can tell you the pill formula now," Guiyang said, squinting his eyes.

Choosing to refine the Heavenly Snow Elixir was a little tactic employed by Guiyang.

The formula for the Heavenly Snow Elixir was something Guiyang also stumbled upon by chance in the Despair Abyss. Prior to that, he did not even know how to refine it.

This elixir was also one of the lost elixirs of the Heavenly Origin Continent. However, the Heavenly Snow Elixir had been relatively common before the Human God War, with effects similar to the Ten Thousand Spirit Returning to Origin Pill, but a grade lower than it.

Therefore, this type of elixir was more widely disseminated. Some of the larger families would also have some in their stockpiles.

Without the pill formula, no one could continue to refine it, but before the Human God War, this elixir was abundant, and most of the Ancient Cave Mansions and ruins on the Continent contained it. Hence, even many martial artists at the Dao King Realm were aware of this elixir.

Guiyang was well-versed in the refinement of the Heavenly Snow Elixir. In his eyes, Jing Yan probably had no idea about the pill formula, so even if he told Jing Yan now, the lack of experience in refining it would surely be a disadvantage in such a short time.

"The Heavenly Snow Elixir, I know how to refine it," Jing Yan said.

Jing Yan’s words, however, caused Guiyang to be taken aback momentarily.

You know how to refine it?

The eyes that had been half-closed suddenly opened wide, filled with surprise as he looked at Jing Yan.

"Guiyang Great Pill King, let’s start now then!" said Jing Yan, waving his arm.

The Qiankun Pill Furnace appeared before Jing Yan.

This was still the first time Jing Yan had taken out the Qiankun Pill Furnace from the Qiankun Small World. Before, he did not dare expose the furnace because he was not strong enough to protect it. But now, Jing Yan did not concern himself with the idea that someone might covet the Qiankun Pill Furnace.

Guiyang also composed himself and took out a purple Pill Furnace, placing it before him.

Both brought out the ingredients for the Heavenly Snow Elixir.

"Hall Master Jing Yan, shall we begin now? How about a time limit of one month?" Guiyang asked.

"That’s fine!" Jing Yan replied.

A month’s time? To refine a batch of Heavenly Snow Elixir, Jing Yan wouldn’t need three days.

Hearing Jing Yan agree so crisply to a one-month time constraint, Gui Yang felt slightly disturbed, harboring an uncomfortable sensation.

Jing Yan, perhaps, was a bit too confident.

Regarding the refinement of a ninth-level elixir, one month obviously seemed somewhat short.

The two began to work on refining their elixirs.

...

"The Longevity Pill Recipe?"

"Ha ha, the Longevity Pill Recipe! Fantastic! If our Gai family could get the Longevity Pill Recipe, then..."

Gu Xianlun was so excited that he nearly danced with joy.

Originally, he felt Gui Yang had stepped forward a bit too late, but now, he thought Gui Yang’s decision was extremely wise.

"Little brat, this time I will ensure you incur a heavy loss." Gu Xianlun, looking at Jing Yan engrossed in alchemy, feverishly thought. He almost couldn’t wait to share the news with the Ancestor Gu Wanquan.

As long as they got the Longevity Pill Recipe, the Gai family could also find a way to produce this kind of elixir. By then, it would be tough for Jing Yan to woo Daoist Emperor Realm powerhouses with the Longevity Pill. At least, it wouldn’t make the Gai family as anxious as they currently were. Once the Gai family produced the Longevity Pill, they too could use it to woo Daoist Emperor Realm powerhouses.

Among those present, excited martial artists weren’t limited to Gu Xianlun alone.

Especially those from the Alchemy Dao families, they too were fervent at heart. However, they also knew that if Gui Yang Great Pill King defeated Jing Yan and got the Longevity Pill Recipe, it would be difficult for them to obtain it. But, it was still a hope.

If the Gai family got the recipe, they would most likely have Gui Yang Great Pill King produce a large quantity of Longevity Pills. But, it was also possible that they would ask these Alchemy Dao families to refine the pills.

Numerous excited gazes were fixated on the two people in the center of the arena.

"Hu Donghe Great Pill King, do you think Hall Master Jing Yan was too hasty?"

"Yes, I too believe Hall Master Jing Yan shouldn’t have used the Longevity Pill Recipe as a stake."

"Ghost Hand Gui Yang is not going to be easy to defeat. If Hall Master Jing Yan loses, the recipe will be out there!"

The various Hall Masters from the Holy Hall were also somewhat apprehensive.

To be honest, their confidence in Jing Yan was somewhat lacking. Although they knew of Jing Yan’s exceptional abilities in Alchemy Dao, his opponent was, after all, Ghost Hand Gui Yang!

How great could Jing Yan’s chances of victory be?

Even Hu Donghe was somewhat uncertain.

Hearing the Hall Masters’ concerned words, Hu Donghe chuckled dryly, "The result isn’t out yet, it’s hard to say anything for certain. But, if Jing Yan wins, then Gui Yang Great Pill King will have to join the Splendid Dojo. The value of Gui Yang Great Pill King will certainly not be less than a pill recipe."

"Alas, I hope Hall Master Jing Yan can defeat Ghost Hand Gui Yang!" the Eighth Hall Master said.

"Ha ha, Hall Master Jing Yan is sure to win! Even Gui Yang Great Pill King can’t compare with Hall Master Jing Yan." Third Hall Master Kui Long was entirely confident in Jing Yan.

Everyone glanced at Kui Long and rolled their eyes. Ever since Kui Long Hall Master had been taught a lesson by Jing Yan, he seemed to be trending toward becoming a Jing Yan supporter!

However, among those present, whether they were Pill Masters or purely martial artists, most probably didn’t believe Jing Yan could defeat Ghost Hand Gui Yang.

A month’s time slowly passed!
