The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 583: Chapter 583 Seventh-level Alchemist [Three Updates]

Asking Alchemist Leng Feng to take out one hundred million Spirit Stones was truly like asking for his life.

He didn’t have that many Spirit Stones in cash; he would have to sell off some other resources.

”Alchemist Leng Feng, stop yelling. That Jing Yan has no intention of letting you go. If you want to get out of here, you’ll definitely have to pay a substantial price. Moreover, it would be better to handle this matter sooner rather than later; you need to make a decision quickly. The sooner you act, the less it will cost,” Cheng Yu said with a stern face.

Cheng Yu was also very annoyed at Jing Yan’s attitude.

However, the most important thing now was to get Leng Feng out and resolve this matter.

One hundred million Spirit Stones was a rather conservative estimate. Since Yang Xiao’s stance was quite firm, the Jade Building had to look for some highly influential figures to settle this affair, and the cost was certainly going to be substantial.

Of course, Cheng Yu would not be the one to pay these Spirit Stones; Leng Feng had to come up with them himself.

”Alchemist Leng Feng, if you’re convicted of a serious crime, you might even lose your life. What use is having a plethora of resources if you’re dead?” Seeing that Leng Feng’s expression was hesitant and indecisive, Cheng Yu continued to speak.

”Sigh!”

”Alright then!” Leng Feng, with a pained expression, took off the Sumeru Ring on his finger and handed it over to Cheng Yu.

”Building Owner, please take care of it for me, try your best to arrange my release.” As much as Leng Feng grieved over the Spirit Stones, the thought of possibly losing his life made him realize that his life was more important by comparison.

He knew all too well that once put on trial, it wouldn’t just be about the false accusation against Jing Yan for selling Fake Pills; all his past misdeeds would definitely be dug up. By that time, he could indeed be executed directly.

”Mm, leave it to me! Don’t worry, spending one hundred million Spirit Stones should be about enough,” Cheng Yu nodded, ”Alchemist Leng Feng, I’ll be on my way then. Wait for news!”

Cheng Yu left the underground prison of Pill Spirit City.

The Jade Building was able to become Pill Country’s largest Pill Tower because it had a strong network of connections. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to determine that the person Leng Feng had a conflict with that day was Jing Yan.

Indeed, the actual amount of Spirit Stones inside Leng Feng’s Sumeru Ring wasn’t one hundred million, only about fifty or sixty million. But the ring also contained other resources; with some of those sold off, the one hundred million Spirit Stones could be gathered.

Several days later, Leng Feng was indeed released from the dungeon.

Even in Pill Spirit City, if you have enough Spirit Stones, many things are possible. With Spirit Stones, everything is negotiable. Although Yang Xiao didn’t want to let Leng Feng go, there were a few who could rival Yang Xiao in Pill Spirit City.

Jade Building!

”Alchemist Leng Feng, welcome back!”

Cheng Yu personally welcomed Leng Feng upon his return.

Leng Feng was the chief alchemist of the Jade Building, with strong Alchemy Dao capabilities, and had earned many Spirit Stones for the Jade Building. If they lost Leng Feng, an Eighth-level Alchemist, the Jade Building would surely suffer a significant blow.

Joining Cheng Yu in welcoming Leng Feng back were other senior members of the Jade Building.

”Thank you all!” Leng Feng bowed to everyone.

Although he had been released, Leng Feng’s face was still quite grim. This time, he had suffered a huge loss! His wealth had been halved, those were savings accumulated over two or three hundred years!

Damn it! It took a whole one hundred and thirty million Spirit Stones to get him out of the Pill Spirit City dungeon!

Leng Feng loathed Jing Yan to his core.

Within a room, Cheng Yu, Leng Feng, and other top echelons of Jade Building all sat here.

”Building Owner, we simply cannot let this matter slide! That damn, lowly, despicable wretch, I really want to kill him! I must kill him!” Leng Feng harbored extreme hatred for Jing Yan. If it were possible, he really wished to tear Jing Yan into thousands of pieces.

”What can we do, though? That Jing Yan is the honorary president of Youhai Commerce and he’s also the top-ranked newcomer on the Pill King List...” Cheng Yu shook his head softly.

Dealing with Jing Yan was not so simple!

”Anyway, I, Leng Feng, absolutely cannot swallow this insult. We cannot let it go just like that!” Leng Feng clenched his fists fiercely, his expression ferocious, with cold light flickering continuously in his eyes.

”We should plan in the long run! We can’t force it!” Cheng Yu said in a deep voice, his eyes constantly shifting.

Leng Feng wanted to take revenge on Jing Yan, and she did as well. This incident with Alchemist Leng Feng being imprisoned had caused invisible losses to the entire Jade Building. On the day Leng Feng was taken away by Yang Xiao, many people witnessed it at the trade meeting, and the news had already spread far and wide.

Many people outside said that the chief pill-master of Jade Building was of vile character, and consequently, Jade Building was impacted as well. Jade Building’s business revenue had sharply decreased by about thirty to forty percent recently, and there were even people who said Jade Building was greedy, with too high prices for their elixirs, labeling them as blood-sucking merchants.

...

Youhai Commerce!

One day, Jing Yan received a message that Leng Feng had been released.

Receiving this message, Jing Yan was naturally somewhat displeased. The message was personally sent by Yang Xiao, who also explained to Jing Yan that although he did not want to release Leng Feng, he had no good way to stop it. Someone in Pill Spirit City insisted on releasing Leng Feng, claiming that Leng Feng did not bear any serious guilt.

Jing Yan shook his head; let it be released then. He estimated that this time, both Leng Feng and Jade Building had suffered no small losses.

Casting aside his displeasure, Jing Yan started planning to refine the Divine Dao Pill. Over the past few days, his control over Source Power had become more and more proficient, and it was time to try.

Of course, he did not rush to refine the Divine Dao Pill immediately, but instead, he practiced with Seventh-level Elixirs. Jing Yan had gathered a lot of Spirit Grass necessary for refining the Divine Feather Pill. The Divine Feather Pill was an elixir used by Daoist Realm Martial Artists to enhance Primordial Energy during cultivation, and Jing Yan also needed a large quantity of Divine Feather Pills for his own cultivation.

The first furnace of Divine Feather Pills, refining failed.

Although he had Source Power, Jing Yan had never refined a Seventh-level Elixir before; it was inevitable that problems would arise on the first attempt.

Continue to refine.

The second furnace of Divine Feather Pills, failed again. However, this second attempt failed only in the final step of stabilization, just missing by a little bit.

The third furnace of Divine Feather Pills was a success. In this furnace of Divine Feather Pills, he formed four pills, three of First-class quality and one of Second-class. The results were quite good.

This also signified that Jing Yan had become a Seventh-level Alchemist.

With the fourth furnace of Divine Feather Pills, he formed a total of six pills, five of First-class and one of Second-class.

The fifth furnace of Divine Feather Pills also produced six pills, all of First-class quality. As Jing Yan’s mastery over the refining of Divine Feather Pills deepened, the quality of the elixirs improved, and his refining speed continuously increased.

Jing Yan consecutively refined ten furnaces of Divine Feather Pills. From the fifth furnace on, all the Divine Feather Pills reached First-class quality. In the ninth furnace of pills, there appeared two of Perfect Quality. To prevent the phenomena of the Law’s descent from being seen by the outside world when the Perfect Quality Divine Feather Pills appeared, Jing Yan specially set up a Concealment Formation, making it difficult for the outside world to witness the descent of the Law’s phenomena.

”It’s about time; I’ll rest for the night, and start refining the Divine Dao Pill tomorrow!” Jing Yan put away all the Divine Feather Pills and thought to himself.

He sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes to rest his spirit, and silently circulated the Sky Vaulting First Divine Skill.
