Celestial Refining Divine Scripture-Chapter 133 - 131: A Small Request, Which You May Refuse
"This time, only five people will be chosen for the alchemy. I wonder if everyone has prepared the necessary ingredients for your pills?"
Liou Yunfeng smiled squintingly at the crowd.
"We’re all ready."
"Mr. Liou, my requirements aren’t high—just one batch of sixth-tier Mountain and River Divine Elixir!"
"Mr. Liou, I’ve prepared three Spirit Elixirs and a generous reward!"
The assembled powerhouses couldn’t wait any longer.
Yet as the critical moment arrived, their nerves grew even more tense!
Just then, two people suddenly stepped forward.
"Mr. Liou, might I ask you to refine a Golden Sun Jade Liquid Elixir for our Chen Family?"
"If you succeed, we will repay you handsomely!"
Chen Yue looked at Liou Yunfeng expectantly.
No matter how viciously he cursed in private, standing here, he didn’t dare show the slightest discontent!
"Mr. Liou, if you succeed with the Golden Crow Sun Swallowing Elixir, our Celestial Travelers’ Commerce Association will pay generously as well!" Wei Xuan took an even humbler approach!
Liou Yunfeng glanced at the pair, chuckled, "Sorry, today I will only refine sixth-tier pills!"
"And the participants will be chosen by him!"
He pointed to Xu Yang beside him, immediately leaving everyone dumbfounded!
Chen Yue and Wei Xuan’s faces turned especially ugly!
Chen Yue glanced at Wei Xuan. The only comfort was that the Commerce Association was rejected too!
"Chen Family, Celestial Travelers’ Commerce Association, didn’t you hear what Mr. Liou said?"
"Only sixth-tier pills will be refined today, so I must ask you not to waste Mr. Liou’s time!"
Though Chen Family and the Commerce Association were strong, even the loose cultivators present were of the Myriad Phenomena Realm!
Even with some restraint, it didn’t count for much!
Especially Qingzhou’s Zhang Clan, which wasn’t much weaker than the Chen Family!
Chen Yue and Wei Xuan gritted their teeth and could only reluctantly step back!
How could they dare pressure Liou Yunfeng?
If they kept pushing, they’d surely invite the public’s wrath!
As the two retreated, everyone turned their eyes to Xu Yang.
Who was he?
Their hearts were more anxious than ever.
Xu Yang slowly walked forward, smiling at the crowd, "For this session, Mr. Liou requires no reward."
This statement left everyone dumbfounded!
The Pill King at work, and yet he wants no reward?
In an instant, everyone’s expressions became subtly complicated.
No reward—then what does he want?
Refining for free?
Who among those who reached Myriad Phenomena Realm could possibly be an idiot?
Impossible, even in their dreams!
"There’s only one small request. I’ll mention it after the alchemy is complete—it’s not too late."
"I guarantee it’s nothing outrageous! And you all can refuse outright! Even if you do, I’ll still deliver the pills to you!"
"If you can’t accept, please withdraw now."
With those words, Xu Yang eyed the crowd with a playful look.
Their faces flickered with uncertainty!
He says so, but come the time, things might be altogether different.
A little request?
No one could be sure!
But if they refuse, even if that’s fine, they probably shouldn’t expect the Pill King to help again.
Worse yet, they might even be targeted outside the public eye!
The others would surely tear them to shreds!
After all, only five people would be picked!
A loud laugh suddenly shattered the silence.
"Hahaha, since no one wants to step up, I’ll go first! Anyway, I’m just a loose cultivator, have no clan, no family, no disciples—go kill someone? No problem!"
A burly man strode forth, his aura fierce and intimidating!
Someone muttered curses: you’re barefoot, nothing to lose.
Still, his words made everyone’s minds up.
Everyone present had at least reached Myriad Phenomena Realm—those with powerful backers weren’t small fry!
What’s to fear?
Soon, the result was clear—not a single person withdrew!
Xu Yang nodded in satisfaction, then pointed at the burly middle-aged man and smiled, "The first spot goes to this senior."
The burly man was stunned, clearly never expected to be first chosen; he was delighted and took several breaths before reacting.
"Thank you, young brother!"
He cupped his fists to Xu Yang in salute!
The sight made everyone else regret to the point of agony!
Why hesitate at all?
One by one, their eyes reddened with envy.
"I am Yang Yi, greetings to Mr. Liou—I wish to have one batch of Cyan Cloud Elixir refined!"
"Mr. Liou, here’s my Spirit Elixir!"
Yang Yi, a middle stage Myriad Phenomena Realm cultivator, solemnly saluted Liou Yunfeng and handed him an ingredient.
Liou Yunfeng nodded slightly, then sat cross-legged and summoned his alchemy cauldron to begin refining!
Clearly, he had no intention of intervening in the selection!
Four slots left!
The crowd unconsciously held their breath!
The atmosphere became heavy!
Even the tens of thousands on the outskirts were affected by the invisible tension—silent as the grave, you could hear a pin drop!
It was as if everything was under control by that masked man!
"Young brother, I’m also a loose cultivator. Don’t worry about your ’small request’—as long as it’s within my means, I won’t refuse!"
The one called ’Thunder Demon,’ Meng Ziqiu, strode out, looking at Xu Yang with a solemn voice.
Xu Yang raised his brows slightly—this man’s cultivation had already reached late Myriad Manifestation Realm, and his reputation was formidable!
But even at his cultivation, Xu Yang could sense a thread of deathly aura clinging to him!
It seemed... he didn’t have long to live!
"Second spot goes to Mr. Meng."
Xu Yang declared without hesitation.
Meng Ziqiu was overjoyed, quickly cupping his fists in salute!
The other attendees were all stupefied!
"You could do that?"
"Self-recommendation?"
"Fuck!"
"Young brother, I am Zhang Yuanshan, elder of Qingzhou’s Zhang Clan. Whatever the request, our clan will do our utmost!" Zhang Yuanshan couldn’t sit still—he hurried forward to make his case!
If he waited longer, the slots would be gone!
At this moment, everyone grew desperate.
Looking at Meng Ziqiu and Yang Yi, who’d already won slots, the crowd gritted their teeth, cursing endlessly under their breath!
Blind luck!
Xu Yang’s expression didn’t change; truth be told, he didn’t much care about the candidates.
In the end, he picked three loose cultivators, one from a great family, one from a sect!
The Zhang Clan was included!
The strongest among them was the famed ’Thunder Demon’ Meng Ziqiu; the remaining four were all Myriad Phenomena Realm middle-stage!
The five victors were beside themselves with excitement.
The rest were left gloomy and bitter-faced.
The seemingly arbitrary selection left them deeply frustrated, but none dared vent outrage!
The rest felt like it was just some kind of game.
"Is he trying to form an alliance?" Su Yun frowned, sensing it wasn’t that simple!
These people may be strong, but it’s not enough!
To bother Liou Yunfeng for support, and only this—it feels almost like a joke!
But she was sure Xu Yang’s scheme did not end here!
Even Su Yun, who knew Xu Yang’s identity, couldn’t quite read him—let alone anyone else.
Tuoba Hongyu narrowed her eyes, wearing an amused look: "I’ll see what you’re up to, Xu Yang. You want to turn the tables? Even with Liou Yunfeng backing you, it won’t be so easy!"
"This damned bastard, just where did he crawl out from? Never heard of Liou Yunfeng having another confidant! Such a ridiculous selection! Bastard!"
Chen Yue seethed with rage, rejected even for a fifth-tier pill, yet the sixth-tier pills were handed out so casually.
An open slap in the Chen Family’s face!
Time flowed slowly by.
Only a quarter hour passed!
A surge of rich alchemical fragrance erupted, instantly flooding the square, so intoxicatingly dense!
A scent that made the spirit soar!
Just one whiff left you feeling ethereal, as if body and soul were cleansed, spirit elevated!
"Such speed!"
"Hiss—not for nothing is he the Pill King!"
"My god—even a top-grade Mountain and River Divine Elixir, and there are actually two of them!"
Seeing the sparkling pills drifting from the alchemy furnace, even Myriad Phenomena Realm experts were stunned, their eyes burning hot!
Far beyond expectation!
Even for the Pill King, both speed and outcome surpassed all predictions!
