Starting With 100 Million Lives-Chapter 567: Fortunately Not Disgraced

"Are you really going to help her with alchemy?"

Cang Ling, hiding in the shadows, was utterly incredulous seeing Jiang Cheng’s serious demeanor.

"I originally thought you were going to swindle her of the materials and then skip town."

This time, Jiang Cheng agreed so straightforwardly that she thought, given this guy’s style, there must be some devious scheme in play.

Brother Cheng was speechless.

"Sis, do you really think I’m that shameless?"

"Aren’t you?"

Sect Leader Jiang was quite displeased: "Is the misunderstanding you have of me that deep?"

For adversarial forces like the Qilin Race and Biluo Cave Heaven, naturally, he would resort to traps and plunder, disregarding any limits.

But Miao Yu wasn’t an enemy.

Occasionally arguing based on reason and benefiting a little was fine.

He would never go too far with her.

"Who knows with you..."

Just as the Azure Dragon Empress finished speaking, she noticed that the materials floating around had automatically disappeared.

During this process, Sect Leader Jiang had already conjured up a large bed and lay down comfortably.

"What are you doing?"

"Alchemy!" Brother Cheng had already closed his eyes, getting ready to take a nap.

With so many materials, it couldn’t be finished in a day.

He wouldn’t sit there like a block of wood. Isn’t a nap better?

"I don’t see you doing anything related to alchemy at all?"

Cang Ling had seen human immortals doing alchemy before.

She knew well how complex and arduous a process it was, not wrongly called ’hard labor.’

"Did you forget what I said earlier, the Great Dream Alchemy Method? Of course, it’s done in dreams."

"Are you for real?"

Even having witnessed the miracles he’s created multiple times, Cang Ling still felt a ludicrous feeling that this guy was messing with her.

Meanwhile, the Immortal Emperors and Quasi-Emperors outside the Celestial Pavilion were very uneasy.

The Pill Hall was isolated by Jiang Cheng, and they couldn’t perceive anything happening inside.

"I just feel he agreed so easily, could it be a trap?" Mo Feng Quasi-Emperor was deeply worried.

"Right, agreeing to such harsh conditions is really suspicious."

"What if he secretly escapes with all the immortal herbs and medicines?"

Cang Ling’s suspicion was also their concern.

The vast and precious materials capable of crafting Ninth-grade Immortal Pills were the accumulation of many years by the Celestial Pavilion.

To lose them all at once would indeed cause a massive blow.

Someone suddenly slapped their thigh and exclaimed: "Come to think of it, we’ve never seen him make a Ninth-grade Immortal Pill even once."

"Right, we’re not even sure if he’s a Ninth-grade Immortal Alchemist!"

At this, Long Lin and Jiang Han, the two Immortal Emperors, could no longer sit still.

"No, we must set up a Great Array and a Law Space outside the Pill Hall to prevent his escape!"

"I think we should rush in and see the situation first!"

"Absolutely not!"

Miao Yu hurriedly stopped them.

"If we do something like this, there’ll be no chance for future cooperation with him."

Among these people, she knew Brother Cheng the best.

She was well aware that although this guy never played by the rules, when it came to principles, he was more principled than anyone else.

If they didn’t trust him, the outcome would be a mutual falling out.

"But this matter is really too unreliable..."

"I trust him!"

Although Miao Yu was currently only at the early-stage Quasi-Emperor level, her words carried the highest weight.

The reason was simple.

The Celestial Pavilion stood strong not because they had three Immortal Emperors.

But because Miao Yu was the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor, on par with Jiu Jue Immortal Emperor and Unreturning Demon Emperor.

Long Lin and Jiang Han were merely her juniors who followed her centuries of billions of years ago.

Due to her firm insistence, everyone could only continue waiting anxiously and restlessly.

In fact, even Miao Yu was uncertain this time.

The only thing she was sure about was that Jiang Cheng would not break his word and abscond with the materials.

But whether his alchemy skills were truly as strong as claimed was still questionable.

Time slowly passed in this excruciating wait.

For these immortals who had lived tens of billions of years, a dozen days were originally nothing more than a blink of an eye.

But now, everyone felt like days were dragging by endlessly.

It seemed that every second of waiting was torment and fraught with countless uncertainties.

"Be patient, alchemy is inherently a lengthy process."

Long Lin Immortal Emperor chuckled bitterly: "These hundreds of thousands of years won’t be easy to endure!"

Jiang Han Immortal Emperor sighed: "After all, those materials are accumulated over so many years, and just handing them over to someone whose capabilities are unknown makes us anxious!"

Miao Yu recalled the alchemy scenes within the Enlightenment Immortal Tree back in the day and couldn’t help but smile.

"Rest assured, unless I’m mistaken, it won’t take him hundreds of thousands of years; at most, he’ll emerge in ten thousand."

"So quick?"

The two Immortal Emperors and the group of Quasi-Emperors were utterly astonished.

Given the vast materials, it would surely require over ten thousand furnaces, wouldn’t it?

If he could emerge in ten thousand years, does that mean he could finish one furnace each year?

Miao Yu nodded: "Indeed, I remember he only took 64 days to refine an Eighth-grade Soul Returning Dust Pill back then!"

"What?"

This statement left the two Eighth-Grade Immortal Alchemists in the Celestial Pavilion utterly shocked.

"Only 64 days?"

"The Soul Returning Dust Pill is not easy to refine!"

It would take them three to five years at least.

"President, you must be joking?"

"That sounds too exaggerated..."

Miao Yu slightly raised her eyebrows: "I saw it with my own eyes!"

She had just finished speaking when Brother Cheng inside withdrew the barrier and restrictions, opening the door of the Pill Hall.

Everyone was startled; it had only been half a month!

Why was he coming out now?

"Sect Leader Jiang, what’s the matter?"

Long Lin Immortal Emperor, deeply concerned about those materials, quickly rushed over: "Did you fail in the refinement?"

"Are those materials still intact?"

It’s okay if it failed this time; one furnace wouldn’t use up much material.

So long as the rest of the materials were intact.

Brother Cheng shrugged: "The materials are all used up."

"What!"

The two Immortal Emperors and other Quasi-Emperors were all shocked and jumped up from anxiety.

"Are you out of your mind?"

"How could you waste the materials like this?"

"In just ten days, even if you failed, how could you use up so much material?"

"Did you deliberately ruin our immortal herbs and medicines?"

"This is too much..."

If Brother Cheng didn’t hold the title of Jiexin, they would have been furious enough to strike him on the spot.

Even Miao Yu almost broke down.

Could it be that she really overdid it trusting his character this time?

"You..."

Her vibrant red lips slightly parted, suddenly finding herself unable to utter words of reproach against him.

Only a massive sense of disappointment washed over her, feeling her trust had been misplaced...

It didn’t matter if he couldn’t do it, but why ruin so many of my precious materials deliberately?

"Who said I ruined the immortal grass and materials?"

Brother Cheng smiled faintly, not waiting for anyone to say anything further, immediately waving his hand.

At once, twelve thousand different medicine bottles floated orderly in the air.

"Mission accomplished, the refinement is successful."
