Celestial Refining Divine Scripture-Chapter 129 - 127: Consecutive Visits
As a Pill King, he’s poured his life’s effort into this craft, and even now he’s only at the sixth rank!
Fifth rank before twenty years old?
Are you joking?
Even if Xu Yang were a disciple of the Pill Emperor, he still couldn’t believe it!
But seeing Xu Yang’s serious expression, Liou Yunfeng swallowed hard and, lips trembling, said, "Mr. Xu, could you let me witness it for myself?"
"Mr. Liou flatters me far too much."
"Though, unfortunately, I don’t have any fifth-rank materials on me!"
"I have them!"
Liou Yunfeng, excited, immediately pulled out a Storage Ring.
As a Pill King, all the high-grade pills for the prince’s mansion come from his own hand.
Spirit Elixirs are his to take as he pleases!
Occasionally, when he refines pills for outsiders, aside from the cost of the medicinal herbs, the fee he charges for his work is quite substantial!
If you ask how wealthy a renowned Pill King is?
All you can say is: bottomless!
"Yang Introduction Elixir, fifth-rank entry-level pill. Consuming it draws on the world’s Supreme Yang power, greatly accelerating cultivation!"
Liou Yunfeng produced a set of Spirit Elixirs for the Yang Introduction Elixir!
Xu Yang didn’t hesitate and began refining immediately.
Fifth-rank pills—the biggest challenge for him is the expenditure!
Nevertheless, he can just about manage!
Half an incense stick later.
Seeing five ordinary Yang Introduction Elixirs successfully refined, Liou Yunfeng’s eyes turned blood-red, his whole body trembling!
He felt as though he’d lived his life as a dog!
Compared to Xu Yang, hadn’t he really lived in vain?
"Mr. Xu, your talent in the Alchemy Dao is truly... exceptional!"
"In a thousand years, past and present, perhaps none could match you. Even the Pill Emperor back then... I doubt he was your equal!"
Liou Yunfeng was completely stunned.
"I’m just fortunate, that’s all!"
Xu Yang knew clearly—his monstrous talent in the Alchemy Dao is thanks entirely to the Celestial Refining Divine Tripod!
Without the Celestial Refining Divine Tripod, let alone matching the Pill Emperor—even compared with Liou Yunfeng, he’d be far behind!
Therefore, Xu Yang wasn’t the least bit arrogant.
Toward the Alchemy Dao, he was extremely humble!
For a while, the two of them fell into deep discussion in the building.
With the vast knowledge and experience of the Pill Emperor, even a stray comment made Liou Yunfeng feel totally enlightened, resolving several minor issues he’d been stuck on.
Don’t underestimate these little problems—at his level, they can make his pill refining far more efficient, with surprising rewards!
Xu Yang benefited greatly as well!
Liou Yunfeng’s foundation was impressively solid.
His entry into the Alchemy Dao was owed, for the most part, to the experience passed down from the Pill Emperor!
In comparison, his own roots aren’t strong enough!
But with this, his alchemy will be much smoother!
Their passionate discussion was suddenly interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Who is it?"
Liou Yunfeng barked angrily, face dark.
He was just reaching the peak of delight—and being interrupted made him want to lash out.
"Mr. Liou, I am Wei Xuan, young master of the Celestial Travelers’ Commerce Association. I heard of your return and have come to pay my respects!"
"Celestial Travelers’ Commerce Association?"
"No..."
Liou Yunfeng reflexively wanted to reject him—but as soon as he saw Xu Yang wink at him, he switched gears: "Wait a moment!"
He certainly knew the Celestial Travelers’ Commerce Association!
But for a Pill King, even the Celestial Travelers have to politely beg!
If the Pill King tells Wei Xuan to wait, then wait he must—in silence, without a hint of complaint!
Before long,
Liou Yunfeng opened the door.
"What is it?"
Facing Liou Yunfeng’s cold apathy, Wei Xuan put on a fawning smile: "Mr. Liou, I’d like to request you to refine a pill for me!"
"Rest assured, Mr. Liou—the Spirit Elixirs are all prepared, and your payment for refining will surely be satisfactory!"
As he spoke, he signaled his attendant, who respectfully handed over a Storage Ring!
Liou Yunfeng didn’t even look at it, replying coolly: "What pill do you want refined?"
Wei Xuan’s face lit up, believing that with these words, there would be no rejection!
"A fifth-rank pill—the Golden Crow Sun Swallowing Elixir!"
"Golden Crow Sun Swallowing Elixir? You got your hands on a Golden Crow Spirit?" Liou Yunfeng raised his eyebrows just a little.
The Golden Crow Sun Swallowing Elixir is no simple pill!
For certain martial artists, it’s an incomparable opportunity!
It’s extremely difficult to refine, and ordinary fifth-rank alchemists simply can’t make it!
Wei Xuan hurriedly replied: "To be honest, Mr. Liou, we’ve already obtained the Golden Crow Spirit, and all Spirit Elixirs have been gathered. I hope Mr. Liou can personally craft a top-grade Golden Crow Sun Swallowing Elixir!"
That’s why he’d come to Liou Yunfeng in the first place!
The higher the grade and rarity, the greater the gap between ordinary and top-tier pills!
Only a Pill King can easily refine a top-grade pill!
Remembering Xu Yang’s instructions, Liou Yunfeng narrowed his eyes: "This pill isn’t for your own use, is it?"
Wei Xuan thought, Why do you care so much?
But on his face, he didn’t dare show a hint of displeasure.
"It’s for my elder brother, Song Yuanhao!"
Song Yuanhao—the adopted son of the Commerce Association’s chairman!
Liou Yunfeng’s lips curled up slightly, indifferent: "Go back and wait!"
"Huh?"
Wei Xuan’s eyes went wide.
You ask so much, and then just tell me to wait?
Come on, at least look at the payment I brought!
"Mr. Liou, I..."
Bam!
The only response he got was a slammed, locked door!
Wei Xuan felt he’d been played, the veins on his forehead throbbing.
But all he could do was swallow his frustration—he didn’t dare act out!
Inside the building!
Hearing the whole story, Xu Yang’s eyes glimmered with surprise.
"Mr. Liou, is the Golden Crow Sun Swallowing Elixir so difficult?"
"It’s no simple matter; to refine a top-grade one, a sixth-ranked alchemist could do it, though the odds of failure are still pretty high. The Golden Crow Spirit is very rare—finding one is a heaven-sent chance, let alone finding a second!"
"With a Pill King’s touch, it’s most reliable!"
Liou Yunfeng chuckled: "Among Daqian’s four Pill Kings, when it comes to pill refining, that old fellow in the royal family—I admit I’m inferior. For the other two, well, since I’ve had the advice of the Pill Emperor himself, I’m confident I’m a bit better than them!"
"And besides, for the Celestial Travelers’ Commerce Association to recruit either of the other two, it’d be even harder than recruiting me!"
After thinking awhile, Xu Yang grinned, "This matter isn’t urgent. In fact, we could use this to make the Commerce Association pay a heftier price!"
Take advantage of Wei Xuan?
He wasn’t interested!
But if the opportunity comes to squeeze the Commerce Association in these chaotic times, he wouldn’t be polite!
Liou Yunfeng had no objections—the payment could be jaw-dropping, but if Xu Yang didn’t want him to accept, he wouldn’t agree!
Bam, bam!
More knocking at the door!
Liou Yunfeng’s face darkened, barking, "Didn’t I tell you to go back and wait?"
Outside, Chen Yue’s pretty face froze, her eyes full of confusion.
"Mr. Liou, I am Chen Yue, third daughter of the Chen Family!"
Chen Yue?
Liou Yunfeng and Xu Yang exchanged glances!
Another one?
A cold gleam flashed in Xu Yang’s eyes!
Well, isn’t this interesting!
First Wei Xuan, now Chen Yue!
Xu Yang gave Liou Yunfeng a look, Liou Yunfeng understood instantly and asked coldly, "What do you want?"
Chen Yue replied respectfully: "Mr. Liou, my second brother Chen Chong and Lord Zheng Qi, fourth son of the prince’s mansion, will soon arrive in Beixuan City. I wish to ask Mr. Liou to refine two top-grade Golden Sun Jade Liquid Elixirs for my two elder brothers!"
Chen Chong? Zheng Qi?
Xu Yang’s eyes narrowed, a hint of amusement flickering across his face.
Well now!
Everyone’s busily preparing for the Cyan Gang Sect’s treasure vault, hoping to give themselves one last big boost!
The Golden Sun Jade Liquid Elixir, though slightly weaker than the Golden Crow Sun Swallowing Elixir, is still one of the finest among fifth-rank pills!
The necessary Spirit Elixirs are quite rare, and it’s extremely difficult to refine!
For proud prodigies, getting a top-grade one would immensely boost their cultivation and strength!
That’s not even the crucial point—take the Golden Sun Jade Liquid Elixir: after taking it, a martial artist can thoroughly purify their True Essence, establishing a Supreme Yang Foundation, helpful even for a future breakthrough to the Myriad Phenomena Realm!
This kind of precious pill—even major powers don’t let fifth-rank alchemists refine it, since the failure rate is simply too high!
If a Pill King can be persuaded to do it, the outcome is exceptional—intense price, yet worth any cost!
After all, it’s about the future of an elite powerhouse!
Outside the door, Chen Yue waited anxiously for a reply, while Liou Yunfeng looked to Xu Yang.
Whether to take the commission, that’s up to Xu Yang!
