Chapter 2436: Chapter 2440: Is He Really Going to Refine Pills?

”Excuse me, seniors.”

Jiang Chen bowed slightly to the two and spoke calmly.

The two of Taiyuan Chancellor were slightly stunned. Su Ruoyun said irritably, ”What did you just call us, kid?”

”Senior.”

Jiang Chen looked into Su Ruoyun’s eyes and spoke softly.

”You should call me Elder Sage.”

Su Ruoyun glared at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen fell silent and did not reply.

Su Ruoyun furrowed her brow slightly, a trace of suspicion in her eyes, sensing something was off about Jiang Chen.

”Su girl, why are you being so serious about a title? What’s he supposed to call you if not senior, junior? You’re of the same generation as Little Alcoholic, he should call you senior.”

Elder Zhu also sensed something and spoke quickly, giving Jiang Chen a complex look.

Hu Yiqiu, Sang Zhenye, and Wu Xianxia frowned, looking at Jiang Chen with puzzled gazes.

This state of Jiang Chen was something they’d never seen before, that utterly emotionless indifference, as if Su Ruoyun was indeed just a senior, never met by Jiang Chen.

Su Ruoyun turned her gaze to Elder Zhu after hearing his words, stepping aside, while Taiyuan Chancellor shook his head amusedly and stepped aside too, musing inwardly about Jiang Chen’s audacity.

”Jiang Chen, what are you doing? Are you going to concoct the God Concealing Pill yourself?”

A mocking voice rang out, with Meng Changde looking coldly at Jiang Chen.

Seeing Meng Youyuan hadn’t returned, Meng Changde knew his father had likely suffered a great loss this time, all due to Jiang Chen. Naturally, his resentment towards Jiang Chen ran deep.

Jiang Chen ignored Meng Changde, sat cross-legged in front of the Alchemy Cauldron, took out materials for the God Concealing Pill, unleashed the Revitalizing Flame, and began refining.

”Extracting medicinal liquid? Is he really going to concoct pills?”

”No way, is he going to make the God Concealing Pill? What a joke!”

”Wait! He’s extracting seventh, eighth-grade spiritual medicine! He can actually refine such level of spiritual medicine?!”

”Impossible, such level of spiritual medicine, even extracting them ourselves is quite arduous!”

As they watched Jiang Chen’s actions, everyone murmured in shock.

Su Ruoyun’s eyes flashed with a different hue, turning to Hu Yiqiu: ”Elder Jiu, is Jiang Chen really the one concocting pills?”

”Hmm.”

Hu Yiqiu absentmindedly nodded, his gaze fixated on Jiang Chen, feeling a subtle worry due to Jiang Chen’s current state.

It wasn’t about worrying if Jiang Chen could successfully concoct the God Concealing Pill, as no one can assure success in pill concoction; it was an ominous premonition lingering in his heart.

”Is it really him doing it?”

”No way, is he really going to concoct the God Concealing Pill?!”

”How is that possible?!”

Everyone around them was shocked upon hearing Hu Yiqiu and Su Ruoyun’s conversation.

”Hmph! Pretending!”

Meng Changde sneered coldly, ”Seventh-grade elixirs aren’t something a Divine Spirit Realm cultivator can refine. Even the power and Divine Sense strength in the Void Refinement Realm aren’t enough to concoct a batch of God Concealing Pills!”

At his words, everyone nodded, looking at Hu Yiqiu’s group with some doubt.

Just when someone beat his father up, are they letting his son concoct pills? Ridiculous!

Inwardly, everyone mused over this situation, intrigued, silently waiting for the outcome.

Taiyuan Chancellor, Su Ruoyun, and Elder Zhu silently watched Jiang Chen, all eager to see what he intended to do.

Jiang Chen ignored the discussions around him, focusing on refining the God Concealing Spirit Herb before him.

Under the tempering of the emerald green flame, the God Concealing Spirit Herb slowly began to dissolve, gradually exuding a fragrant liquid.

”He can actually refine this God Concealing Spirit Herb?!”

”This kid’s fire control skills are quite high!”

”Such speed, incredible!”

”Indeed, it’s way too fast!”

Seeing the liquid emitted from the God Concealing Spirit Herb, everyone exclaimed in surprise.

Meng Changde’s pupils shrank in shock, even he couldn’t extract the spiritual liquid from the God Concealing Spirit Herb in such a short time.

Seems this kid really has some skill, yet so what? Extracting spiritual medicine doesn’t mean concocting pills, I’ll wait for them to beg me!

Though Meng Changde sneered inwardly, his gaze towards Jiang Chen held a hint of jealousy.

Extracting medicinal liquid is the first step in pill concoction; it’s also immensely crucial, affecting the pill’s quality through purity and speed of extraction.

If the purity is too low, the pill quality will inevitably poor; slow extraction speed will affect the medicinal properties due to flame scorching, making the pill quality subpar. Jiang Chen’s extraction speed made even Meng Changde and all Pill Masters envious.

Gradually, the God Concealing Spirit Herb before Jiang Chen, enveloped in green flames, split into two parts: one nearly transparent, aromatic spiritual liquid, and one pile of black residue.

”Wow, the extracted spiritual liquid is incredibly pure!”

”How is it possible? How can there be no impurities? How did he do it?!”

”With this skill alone, he could secure a place in the Academy’s Elixir Medicine Pavilion!”

”Quiet, observe carefully, let’s see how he does it!”

Seeing the nearly transparent liquid, all the Pill Masters widened their eyes in shock, focusing intently, hoping to glean some insight from Jiang Chen’s extraction process.

”This kid, actually has such a skill!”

Taiyuan Chancellor sighed lightly, a note of appreciation in his gaze towards Jiang Chen.

After extracting one Spirit Grass, Jiang Chen continued with another, the entire Elixir Medicine Pavilion eerily silent, with everyone watching Jiang Chen’s extraction.

Hu Yiqiu watched Jiang Chen’s back, an increasing sense of ominous premonition compounding, prompting him to take out a Jade Slip, infusing a thread of Divine Sense, forming a hand seal, whispering, ”Go!”

Whoosh!

The Jade Slip flickered, flying out the window.

A Message Transmitting Jade Slip?

Taiyuan Chancellor and the others looked at Hu Yiqiu with curiosity.

A Message Transmitting Jade Slip is used for short-range communication, with a transmission distance no farther than a cultivator’s maximal Divine Sense range.

”Little Alcoholic, what’s up?”

Elder Zhu asked Hu Yiqiu quietly.

”No idea, just a nagging sense of doom.”

Hu Yiqiu shook his head gently, his gaze remained on Jiang Chen’s back.

Elder Zhu was stunned at his words, furrowing his brow lightly.

Premonitions, though perhaps disbelief by common folk, are accepted by cultivators as a truth.

Cultivators comprehend and attune to Heavenly Dao, with intuition akin to a warning from Heavenly Dao itself; a mystical occurrence, rare but unfailingly accurate once present.

Hence, Elder Zhu’s expression grew more solemn, following Hu Yiqiu’s gaze to Jiang Chen, he questioned quietly, ”Is it related to Jiang Chen?”

”Hmm.”

Hu Yiqiu nodded lightly.
