What Ji Chen said was the truth. Ling Xiao was already a seventh-grade alchemist, and Elder Han had become the Guardian Elder of the Proud Smiling Palace. This identity was not surprising, otherwise, the Alchemist Guild would not have moved to Wind Cloud City.
Everyone's eyes fell on Ling Xiao, waiting for Ling Xiao's answer.
Hua Piaoyue also hoped that Ling Xiao could have such strength. She had tricked Ling Xiao into coming here with the mentality of giving it a try. Before entering the sect, Ling Xiao had also expressed his interest in the two sisters.
Between Ji Chen and Ling Xiao, Hua Piaoyue would naturally choose the latter.
After all, the latter was a famous genius in the Central Region. He was also so handsome, so it was not an injustice to her.
Ling Xiao did not expect to be criticized even when he was lying down, no, sitting down. He cried out in his heart.
Hua Renfeng saw that Ling Xiao didn't respond even after a long time. She felt that even with Elder Han's guidance, Ling Xiao wouldn't be able to become an eighth-grade alchemist. After all, Ling Xiao hadn't reached the level of a Saint yet. This condition alone was enough to keep many alchemists at bay. This was also the reason why there were so few Saint alchemists on the continent.
"It is true that Palace Lord Ling is extremely talented, but he is still young and cannot be forced." Hua Renfeng helped Ling Xiao out of this predicament.
After all, a genius like Ling Xiao was not someone the Wanhua Sect could easily offend.
Mu Yongbo also spoke, "That's right. We old farts have been refining pills for thousands of years, but we have not reached the eighth-grade realm. How old is Palace Lord Ling, but he can already stand shoulder to shoulder with us old farts. I admire this ability. He can't refine eighth-grade pills now, but it does not mean that he will not have a chance in the future. I believe that there will be a place for Palace Lord Ling among the Saint Alchemists in the Central Region in the future!"
Mu Yongbo praised Ling Xiao without restraint. He did not hide the kindness in his old eyes.
"That's right. I see that Palace Master Ling is not even a hundred years old. He still has a lot of time to improve his alchemy, unlike us old bones. Every day that passes is a day less!" One of the Tier Seven Alchemists did not mind flattering him.
The other people also chimed in with a few words. It was nothing more than to give face to Ling Xiao, and at the same time, to strike a blow to the few people from the Heaven Returning Sect.
"Let's go!" Gongsun Tairan didn't want to offend Ling Xiao, so he had to persuade Ji Chen again.
Ji Chen unwillingly clenched his fists and angrily glared at Ling Xiao. "Palace Master Ling, so you are also a coward …"
Before he could finish his words, Ling Xiao suddenly stood up, and a powerful aura instantly surged down, and a golden dragon instantly roared towards Ji Chen.
"Be careful!"
Gongsun Tairan sensed it very quickly. He immediately pulled Ji Chen behind him and stood in front of Ji Chen.
Puff!
Although Gongsun Tairan was a mid-level Mystic Emperor, he still couldn't withstand Ling Xiao's powerful aura. He was directly sent flying, and a mouthful of blood sprayed out.
Ling Xiao's aura did not stop there, and it continued to press towards Ji Chen.
Ji Chen only felt that his whole body couldn't move, and he saw that the peerless dragon seemed to want to swallow him alive. It was too scary!
At this moment, Granny Bi lightly raised her hand, and Ling Xiao's dragon aura immediately disappeared.
She looked at Ling Xiao and smiled, "Young man, that's enough. This is our Wanhua Sect!"
Ling Xiao looked at Granny Bi and lightly nodded, "Since the elder has spoken, this junior will naturally obey. I just want to teach those who disrespected me a lesson!"
Today, Ling Xiao no longer concealed anything. The domineering aura of a superior was unmistakable, and the aura of an emperor circled around his body, giving people a feeling of submission.
Everyone at the scene finally had a new understanding of this overlord who was able to build his own force, and who dared to go against the Gu Clan, Sha Tian Organization, and the Black Demon Sect.
Lao Zhande cast a resentful look at Ling Xiao, "Palace Lord Ling, what do you mean by this?"
Ling Xiao lightly said, "What do I mean?
You should ask your treasured martial nephew what kind of identity this empress has. Does he even dare to criticize me? This empress is only helping you teach this disrespectful junior a lesson. Could it be that you want to seek justice for him? "
Ling Xiao's aura was frightening, and his expression was dignified, giving people a feeling of fear even though it wasn't cold.
Most of the people at the scene had the cultivation of a Mystic Emperor, but they could still feel the terrifying pressure from Ling Xiao.
Even Granny Bi cast a surprised look at Ling Xiao, and she thought to herself, Good lad, he actually has the strength of a high-level Mystic Emperor!
When Ling Xiao arrived at the Wanhua Sect, he had already concealed his aura, and now he was forced to reveal it.
Was he supposed to pretend to be low-key when others were bullying him?
That was obviously impossible!
Lao Zhande was frightened by Ling Xiao, and for a moment, he didn't dare to reply.
Looking at his Martial Nephew who had fallen to the ground and his injured Junior Brother, he felt that he had really lost all his face today.
Hua Renfeng mediated, "Palace Lord Ling, please don't be angry. I think they didn't mean to offend you. Why don't you let it go for my sake?"
"Of course, some people have already learned their lesson, and they should know that some words can't be spoken carelessly!" Ling Xiao lightly nodded.
"Palace Lord Ling is magnanimous. Masters, please go and rest!" Hua Renfeng said.
Lao Zhande and Gongsun Tairan couldn't refine a grade eight pill, and no one present had the ability to do so. Hua Renfeng's beautiful eyes revealed an unconcealable sadness.
Just as everyone stood up to leave, Ling Xiao spoke again, "If everyone isn't in a hurry, I don't mind trying to refine a grade eight pill in front of you!"
As soon as Ling Xiao said this, everyone stopped in their tracks, and their eyes focused on him again.
"Palace Lord Ling, why fight for a moment of anger!" Mu Yongbo advised.
Ling Xiao lightly shook his head and said, "Everyone here is a senior, and Ling Xiao doesn't hide anything. I have indeed received guidance from Senior Brother Han Kai, and now I have some experience. If I want to refine a grade eight pill, I can't say that I have a 100% success rate, but … I have at least a 70% chance of success. If you are interested, you can stay and give me some pointers. If not, that's fine too!"
Ling Xiao lowered his status and spoke to them as a junior alchemist. This undoubtedly made others feel that Ling Xiao was a young man who knew when to advance and when to retreat. It was no wonder that he could establish such a large sect. This was not a coincidence.
However, from Ling Xiao's confident tone, it seemed that he could really refine a grade eight pill, which shocked them.
Hua Piaoyue was the first to speak, "Palace Lord Ling, you … if you can really refine a grade eight antidote pill to save our Old Sect Master, Piaoyue is willing to work for you!"
Ling Xiao said, "Let's talk about this later. I don't dare to say that I'm 100% sure. When refining a pill, it's easy to break it if you're not careful. I believe all the seniors here know this."
"That's right, no one dares to guarantee it. Palace Lord Ling's words are well said, not like some people who think they're right!"
A grade seven alchemist stood up and said, not forgetting to ridicule Lao Zhande and Gongsun Tairan.
Hua Renfeng said, "Palace Lord Ling, you … Is what you said true?"
"Since your sect doesn't have any other way, why don't you give it a try?
However, the spirit herbs and beast cores needed will still be your sect's concern. If it's broken, I won't be responsible for compensation! "Ling Xiao said with a faint smile.
"Alright, as long as there's a 10% chance, we're willing to give it a try. Leave the spirit herbs needed to us!" Hua Renfeng's hope was ignited again.
"Alright then, I'll embarrass myself in front of all the seniors!" Ling Xiao said very calmly.
Originally, he really didn't want to be in the limelight, but Ji Chen actually wanted to drag him down. Then, he would go along with his wishes and let him know the feeling of despair.
Thus, everyone returned to their seats. Even Lao Zhande, Gongsun Tairan, and Ji Chen, who were about to leave, didn't leave. Their eyes were all hiding an indescribable hatred.
Thus, everyone sat back in their seats. Even Lao Zhande, Gongsun Tairan, and Ji Chen, who were about to leave, didn't leave. Their eyes were all hiding an indescribable hatred.
Hua Renfeng immediately ordered her sect's grade seven alchemist to prepare.
In less than an hour, the spirit herbs and beast cores that Ling Xiao needed were all placed in front of him.
"Alright, time is of the essence. This King will do his best to refine a detoxification pill for your sect. Whether it succeeds or not will depend on the will of the heavens!" Ling Xiao took a deep breath and declared once again.
Immediately afterward, the spatial ring in his hand quietly turned into a black medicine cauldron.
This medicine cauldron was heavy and simple. The cauldron's body was black and glossy. The patterns on the cauldron were dense and complex, and the dim light it emitted was even more mysterious and profound. At a glance, anyone could tell that this was not an ordinary medicine cauldron.
Everyone present was experienced and knowledgeable, so they immediately recognized the extraordinariness of this cauldron.
They stared at this medicine cauldron, not believing that it had anything to do with the legendary fifth ranked Divine Cauldron.
They all had burning greed in their hearts, but the power that Ling Xiao showed just now made them suppress these thoughts.
Although a Divine Cauldron was rare, it was useless if one didn't have the life to use it.
Ling Xiao began to move!
The spirit herbs seemed to float by themselves without any wind. At the same time, his palms moved like flowing water, and purple flames roared out like fire dragons.
As soon as this purple flame appeared, everyone present felt that the flames they refined were suppressed in some way. They all felt a sense of dread towards this purple flame.
"Heavenly Fire!"
These two words immediately appeared in the minds of all the alchemists, and their eyes became even more envious.
Ling Xiao's movements were like the wind, and his figure was as steady as a mountain. The demeanor of an Alchemy Grandmaster was unmistakable.
The speed at which he refined medicine into rain was impressively much faster than Lao Zhande and Gongsun Tairan's combined refinement. Everyone was dazzled by it.
They only felt that a large amount of medicine rain fell into the cauldron, and bursts of spirit herb essence filled the air.
An expert could tell if he was skilled or not. It was their first time seeing Ling Xiao perform alchemy. Just based on his broken hand, they could immediately conclude that Ling Xiao's level of refining spirit herbs was much higher than theirs.
Hua Feixue and Hua Piaoyue looked at each other, unable to conceal the excitement in their beautiful eyes.
They seemed to be able to see the moment when Ling Xiao condensed a grade eight medicinal pill.
Only Ji Chen's eyes showed a strong sense of unwillingness. He thought to himself, 'We must not let him succeed!'
