The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 715: Chapter 715: Change of Attitude

Recalling the day when he was suppressed by Jing Yan in one move at the Holy Palace, Kui Long couldn’t help but shudder.

However, among his trepidations, there was an inexplicable excitement. Because surrendering to a powerful individual like Hall Master Jing Yan was not considered disgraceful in Kui Long’s view.

”I heard he has entered the Dao Emperor Realm,” Wan Zhonghua subconsciously replied. ”The Gai Family Dao Emperor, Supreme Elder Gu Mo, died by his hands.”

”You only know one side but not the other,” Kui Long said coldly with a smirk.

”Let me tell you, Hall Master Jing Yan’s strength is absolutely not inferior to the Ancient Family Ancestor Gu Wanquan. In fact, it might even surpass him.” Kui Long’s face revealed a trace of excitement.

”What?”

”This...”

”Dao Emperor Realm Peak?” The people from the Wan Family were dumbfounded.

”Lord Kui Long, could there be a mistake? Jing Yan is only in his thirties, how could he have such a realm?” the Wan Family Patriarch asked, glancing at Kui Long.

”The realm of Hall Master Jing Yan isn’t up to the Dao Emperor Realm Peak yet. But his combat power has absolutely reached the peak of the Dao Emperor Realm. You don’t need to doubt this, as I have personally sparred with Hall Master Jing Yan,” Kui Long looked at the Wan Family Patriarch and said.

He was too embarrassed to say that he had been suppressed to the ground by Jing Yan’s move and couldn’t move—an incident that was, after all, somewhat shameful.

”Alright, I should be going.” With those words, Kui Long vanished with a flash, disappearing within the room.

Leaving behind the people of the Wan Family looking at each other in confusion.

After a long time.

”It seems that we, the Wan Family, need to change our strategy. Toward Hall Master Jing Yan, we can no longer maintain a hostile attitude. We need to foster a closer relationship with Hall Master Jing Yan,” Wan Zhonghua took a deep breath and slowly said.

”Yes, there were rumors before that Donghe Great Pill King, Hu Donghe, only made further progress in Alchemy Dao with the help of Jing Yan, even capable of refining Elixirs of perfect quality. Now it seems that this rumor is true,” the Wan Family Patriarch nodded.

”It seems like there’s no mistake. Lord Kui Long wouldn’t convey false information to us! Also, I heard that at the Alchemy Conference hosted by Hall Master Jing Yan, many elixirs will be available for exchange, and he needs various rare materials. It’s time to use some of the rare materials our Wan Family has accumulated,” Wan Zhonghua finally shaped the relationship between the Wan Family and Jing Yan.

Wan Zhonghua wanted to get closer to Jing Yan not only for the sake of his family but also for his personal gains. He wondered if by receiving Jing Yan’s help, he too could advance further in the Alchemy Dao and perhaps become a Great Pill King himself.

Holy City, Jing Yan Mansion!

”Third Hall Master, you wanted to see me?” Jing Yan looked at Kui Long, standing in front of him.

Kui Long wore an ingratiating smile.

”Hall Master Jing Yan, I would like to exchange Ten-thousand-year-old plum blossom dew for your Longevity Pill,” Kui Long cautiously said.

”Oh?” Jing Yan looked at Kui Long with a half-smile.

At that moment, Kui Long’s heart was pounding; he feared Jing Yan wouldn’t make the exchange.

”Hall Master Jing Yan, this batch of Ten-thousand-year-old plum blossom dew is freshly taken from the Wan Family. On this trip to the Wan Family, I also learned something you must be wary of. The Gai Family is contacting some major forces, planning to cause you trouble at the upcoming Alchemy Conference,” Kui Long said angrily when mentioning the Gai Family.

His expression was as if he were Jing Yan’s most loyal servant.

”The Gai Family contacted the Wan Family?” Jing Yan asked with a smile.

It would be strange if the Gai Family wasn’t making any moves. Jing Yan was already prepared for their actions.

”Yes!”

”However, I gave the Wan Family Ancestor Wan Zhonghua a scolding, and told them not to get involved with the Gai Family. Humph, although the Gai Family is one of the Seven Great Families of the Continent, compared to Hall Master Jing Yan, they are nothing. The Wan Family should know which side to stand on,” Kui Long said indignantly.

Jing Yan smiled.

”Bring the Ten-thousand-year-old plum blossom dew here,” Jing Yan extended his hand.

Kui Long was startled at first, but then overjoyed. He knew Jing Yan was willing to exchange the Longevity Pill with him. He hurriedly took out a Jade Bottle, which held the Ten-thousand-year-old plum blossom dew.

Inside the Jade Bottle, there were ten drops of the Ten-thousand-year-old plum blossom dew.

Jing Yan took out two First-class quality Longevity Pills and handed them to Kui Long.

Other Hall Masters could rely on luck to choose between Perfect Quality and First-class Quality Longevity Pills for the exchange, but Jing Yan evidently was unwilling to grant Kui Long that privilege and directly gave him two First-class quality pills.

Taking the Longevity Pills, Kui Long was overjoyed.

He initially thought even getting one Longevity Pill would suffice, yet Jing Yan unexpectedly gave him two.

However, Jing Yan then added another statement.

”Third Hall Master, as per the rules, each person can only exchange for one Longevity Pill, you know that, right?” Jing Yan said.

Indeed, it was so.

Other Hall Masters only exchanged one Longevity Pill from Jing Yan.

Kui Long looked at Jing Yan somewhat astonished.

”One of these two Longevity Pills, you can keep for yourself. But the other one, you must deliver to the Wan Family. Wan Family Ancestor Wan Zhonghua isn’t getting any younger, is he?” Jing Yan smiled amiably as he looked at Kui Long.

”Of course, you must ensure that the Wan Family does not collude with the Gai Family! If the Wan Family insists on siding with the Gai Family, then you cannot give them the second Longevity Pill,” Jing Yan continued.

”Okay! I understand,” Kui Long nodded.

Although he also wanted to secretly keep the second Longevity Pill for himself, in these times, such intentions are only fleeting before being dismissed.

From the fact that Jing Yan was willing to provide him with a Longevity Pill, it seemed the breach in their relationship was also repairable. Offending Jing Yan for the sake of one Longevity Pill would definitely not be worth the loss.

Kui Long, being a clever man, wouldn’t be penny-wise and pound-foolish.

Jing Yan wanted Kui Long to give one Longevity Pill to the Wan Family for a purpose.

Now, the Great Pill King Hu Donghe was a staunch supporter of Jing Yan. If he could also gain the support of the Wan Family, the foremost family in Alchemy Dao, then in the aspect of Elixir, no power on the entire Continent would be able to contend with Jing Yan.

From the information Kui Long brought back, the Wan Family could be won over.

What Jing Yan needed to do was to unite all possible forces. Furthermore, the Wan Family itself was a substantial entity, a significant force not to be underestimated. Bringing the Gai Family-leaning Wan Family over to his side would be greatly effective in weakening the Gai Family’s power.

After Kui Long left, only Jing Yan remained in the room.

”The Early Stage of the Dao Emperor Realm, still insufficient!”

”The Ten Thousand Spirit Returning to Origin Pill has a strong effect. If I use it to train, I should be able to step into the Mid Tao Emperor Realm in a few years. However, this is still too slow,” Jing Yan squinted his eyes, his thoughts turning.

”It’s about time to refine the Heavenly Repairing Pill!” Jing Yan’s eyes suddenly sharpened.

The Heavenly Repairing Pill!

A true Divine Pill!

On the Heavenly Origin Continent, perfect quality Elixirs are called Divine Pills. But in reality, perfect quality Elixirs are merely ordinary Elixirs. Being called a Divine Pill is an exaggerated term.

But the Heavenly Repairing Pill that Jing Yan was preparing to refine was a real Divine Pill, transcending the category of a Ninth-level Elixir.
