The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 175: Chapter 175 Jing Yan’s Excitement Chapter 175: Chapter 175 Jing Yan’s Excitement Before, what Jing Yan most wanted was Attack Martial Arts, so when he saw the steles for Alchemy Dao and the other two Paths, he couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed.

However, that was because he felt that whether it was the Alchemy Dao, Artifact Dao, or Array Dao, none could be mastered in a short amount of time.

Yet now, Jing Yan was truly excited.

To become a Pill Master, what kind of honor was that?

To be able to refine elixirs, how many resources could he earn?

Those Pill Masters in Lanqu County City, even the lowest level ones, were all filthy rich.

Some Martial Artists, in order to have Pill Masters help refine special elixirs, would need to pay a huge price.

And once he was able to concoct elixirs himself, Jing Yan would no longer need to attend auctions everywhere to buy and bid on the elixirs necessary for his practice.

He wouldn’t need to ask others—it would be they asking him.

Another reason that was incredibly exhilarating for Jing Yan at this moment was that he had discovered a low-level elixir with a Pure Yin Attribute, which could offset, to a certain extent, the intense Yang energy absorbed from Soul Crystals.

This elixir was named “Azure Abyss Elixir”!

The Azure Abyss Elixir, a First-level Elixir, required materials that were fairly common and could easily be obtained in Donglin City.

The Nine Yin Fruit that Jing Yan had previously consumed was also one of the materials needed for the Azure Abyss Elixir.

With this elixir, Jing Yan could freely absorb the energy of Soul Crystals and quickly ascend to the Innate Middle Stage.

Previously, although Jing Yan had obtained a High-level Soul Crystal from a Level Eight spiritual beast, the Fire Cloud Beast, he had his reservations, because the energy of a High-level Soul Crystal was absolutely overbearing, far scarier than the Low-level Soul Crystal he had first acquired.

Even the moderating effect of the Nine Yin Fruit might not amount to much.

If he could only slowly absorb and transform the energy of the Soul Crystal, Jing Yan would need much more time to advance to the Innate Middle Stage.

But with the Azure Abyss Elixir, it would be much more convenient.

Jing Yan could step into the Innate Middle Stage in a short period, and even enter the Late Innate Realm not long after.

Once he had reached the Cultivation of the Late Innate Realm, even if he were confronted with a Peak Innate or an ordinary Dao Spirit Realm Martial Artist, it would be hard for them to kill Jing Yan, wouldn’t it?

Jing Yan’s eyes sparkled with eagerness, wishing he could immediately go out and buy the materials to try and refine the Azure Abyss Elixir.

Jing Yan vaguely felt that his control over the Alchemy was strong, although he had never experienced pill refining before.

However, after absorbing the information of the Qiankun Pill Path and integrating it into his memory, Jing Yan felt a familiarity with alchemy.

He felt that he should be successful on his first attempt at pill refining.

“Kid, how do you feel?”

At that moment, Tianshui spoke up with a smile.

“In a small place like this, if you can refine third-level elixirs, won’t countless Martial Artists fawn over you?

That little pissant Pill Master Cang Yu, what would he amount to?” claimed Tianshui disdainfully, as if he were Jing Yan.

“Thank you, senior.” Jing Yan stood up and sincerely bowed in gratitude to Tianshui.

“Thank me for what?

You are now the owner of the Qiankun Ring.

All these things belong to you!” Tianshui waved his hand dismissively.

“Kid, follow me.” Tianshui then turned and walked towards the shabby courtyard.

Jing Yan followed him into a room in the courtyard.

“Kid, do you know what this is?” Tianshui asked, pointing at a dark green object in the room.

Jing Yan glanced at it, “Is it a Pill Furnace?”

Although Jing Yan had never refined elixirs, it didn’t mean he hadn’t seen a Pill Furnace.

The object placed in the center of the room looked very much like a Pill Furnace, but Jing Yan wasn’t completely sure.

“That’s right, this is a Pill Furnace, called the ‘Qiankun Pill Furnace,’ another divine item left behind by the great figure who forged the Qiankun Ring.

Hehe, kid, with this Pill Furnace assisting you, the quality of the elixirs you refine… tsk tsk… I won’t say more, you’ll know in the future,” said Tianshui with a laugh.

…

“Whoosh!”

Jing Yan’s figure emerged from the Qiankun Ring.

By this hour, the sky was showing the first light of dawn.

Jing Yan glanced at his fingers—the Qiankun Ring had vanished, leaving only the Sumeru Ring on his finger.

He smiled faintly.

Of course, the Qiankun Ring hadn’t disappeared but rather integrated into Jing Yan’s body.

With just a thought, he could freely enter and exit the Qiankun Small World.

Additionally, he could place his possessions into the space within the Qiankun Ring at any time.

In the time that followed, Jing Yan took out all the items from within his Sumeru Ring.

Among them, there were three Sumeru Rings.

These three rings belonged to Suo Wen, Zhao Yifeng, and Cai Guanglin.

Aside from these rings, there were various resources as well as the corpse of an eighth-level spiritual beast, the Fire Cloud Beast.

It took Jing Yan some time to categorize the resources he needed and those he didn’t.

The unneeded resources could be sold off when he found the time.

Among these resources were several that Jing Yan didn’t recognize and didn’t know the uses for.

Naturally, he would keep these unknown resources for the time being.

Most of the resources he needed were types of Spirit Grass.

Now that he was capable of refining elixirs, he certainly couldn’t sell off these kinds of resources anymore.

“These unneeded resources could probably be sold for ten or so thousand Spirit Stones,” Jing Yan murmured as he nodded slightly.

“Young Master Jing Yan!”

At that moment, a voice came from outside, followed by the sound of footsteps.

Jing Yan’s gaze shifted, and he promptly stored away the various resources before opening the door and stepping out.

Standing in the courtyard was the personal guard of Clan Leader Jing Chengye.

“Is there something you need?” Jing Yan asked the guard.

“Young Master Jing Yan, the Clan Leader has requested to see you,” the guard said respectfully.

Jing Yan’s prestige within the Jing Family was extremely high now.

Not only did most Jing Family Disciples hold Jing Yan in high regard, but even the guards were exceedingly reverent towards him.

“Alright!” Jing Yan thought intently.

He understood that it probably had to do with yesterday’s incident where he killed Suo Wen.

Jing Yan quickly made his way to the Clan Chief’s Courtyard.

Upon arriving, he saw not only the Clan Leader but also the Great Elder Jing Chunyu and Fourth Elder Jing Tianying.

“Jing Yan, come with us to the City Lord Mansion,” said Clan Leader Jing Chengye upon seeing Jing Yan.

“Jing Yan, don’t worry too much.

As long as I’m alive, you’ll be alive,” added Jing Tianying, after Jing Chengye had spoken.

“Understood,” Jing Yan nodded.

He didn’t need to show his gratitude to the Fourth Elder.

He had anticipated this event; it was simple, Cang Long, Suo Wen’s master, would not sit idly by after his disciple was slain.

He would surely seek revenge.

Given Cang Long’s unique status and considering his brother’s influence, Jing Yan suspected that even the City Lord Mansion would not easily offend him.

Hence, he was well-prepared for the Clan Leader and others taking him to the City Lord Mansion.

Jing Yan had also considered that if the situation truly became uncontrollable, he would sever ties with the Jing Family and then flee Donglin City.

Once he was no longer associated with the Jing Family, his actions would no longer concern them.

If Cang Long wanted revenge, the City Lord Mansion would then have a reason to refuse.

Jing Yan believed that since the Jing Family was a prominent family in Donglin City, the City Lord would not readily commence a massacre.
