The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1158: Chapter 1158: It Must Fail

It seems that the person named Yan Jin might really be a Divine Pill Master.

From the attitudes of the four people who just came in towards Gui Ben, it seems that most of them have been here for alchemy before.

The two of them exchanged a glance quietly, and the slight astonishment in their eyes quickly returned to normal.

Even if Yan Jin is truly a Divine Pill Master, they didn’t believe he could refine the Qu Luo Pill. And once he fails, they can receive compensation of fifty million primary Divine Crystals. A set of Qu Luo Pill materials only costs twenty million primary Divine Crystals, so after deducting the costs, they can earn a full thirty million primary Divine Crystals.

Now, only four hours remain until the agreed time.

As the time approaches, their hearts burn hotter. Thirty million primary Divine Crystals is no small amount for them, especially after purchasing two low-grade ship tickets.

Zhuang Lianyi, seeing these two having no intention of speaking, wisely withdrew his gaze.

”Fellow Daoist Gui Ben, is Senior Yan Jin currently busy?” Zhuang Lianyi turned his gaze to Gui Ben and asked.

”Yes, he is currently helping those two with refining the Qu Luo Pill.” Gui Ben gave those two a cold look and said.

”What?”

”This...”

”Senior Yan Jin promised to help us refine a batch of Bi Quan Pill and a batch of Golden Que Pill...” Zhuang Lianyi frowned, a bit anxious.

With ten hours of time, how could he have enough time to refine the Bi Quan Pill and Golden Que Pill and still have time for the Qu Luo Pill?

Could it be that Senior Yan Jin didn’t start with their Bi Quan Pill and Golden Que Pill, but prioritized refining these two individuals’ Qu Luo Pill?

Except for Xie Rong, Zhuang Lianyi and the others’ expressions started to look not too good.

Upon hearing Zhuang Lianyi and the others’ words, Gui Ben realized they had come to Jing Yan for pill refining while he was out, and they were asking for two Intermediate Divine Pills.

He quickly understood.

”No need to worry, perhaps Senior Yan Jin has already refined the pills you need and only then helped them with the Qu Luo Pill.” Gui Ben hurriedly smiled and said.

Zhuang Lianyi still frowned and said nothing.

”Senior brother, you don’t need to worry. Senior Yan Jin will definitely refine our pills.” Xie Rong had faith, having full confidence in Jing Yan.

”Haha... I think you’ve been swindled.” One of the martial artists refining the Qu Luo Pill suddenly laughed and said.

”Why do you say that, Fellow Daoist?” Zhuang Lianyi frowned and asked.

”Isn’t it obvious? According to what you said, you came to Yan Jin for alchemy just shortly before us. It’s definitely not more than a day since then. You need two batches of pills, the Bi Quan Pill and the Golden Que Pill, while we need one batch of the Qu Luo Pill.”

”Think for yourselves, how could a Pill Master possibly refine all three batches in one day?” The martial artist was convinced that Zhuang Lianyi and the others had been deceived.

”As I see it, if I’m not mistaken, when Yan Jin comes out, he will certainly tell you that the two batches of pills failed. The materials you provided will be wasted.” Another person gleefully said.

”It seems the two of you don’t believe in Senior Yan Jin’s alchemy ability, so why ask him to refine the Qu Luo Pill for you?” Zhuang Lianyi’s eyes flashed as he asked.

”There’s no harm in telling you. We have an agreement with Yan Jin. If he fails to refine the Qu Luo Pill within one day, he needs to compensate us for our loss. So, we’re not worried about him playing tricks.” The person smirked and said.

”Don’t spout nonsense here. Senior Yan Jin is definitely not a fraud.” Xie Rong retorted strongly.

”Hmph, ignorant woman!” The martial artist glanced at Xie Rong and murmured softly.

Sweat began to form on Gui Ben’s forehead. He could hardly manage the situation now.

Everyone in the room, except Xie Rong, was a True God realm martial artist. With his capabilities, he couldn’t actually quell the scene.

Thus, he could do nothing but wait for Senior Yan Jin to come out and handle it himself.

The first floor of the Pill Shop became quiet, with a somewhat eerie atmosphere. For the next period, no one spoke.

After more than an hour.

A green figure hurried down from the second floor, entering everyone’s sight.

”Is everyone here?”

Jing Yan, seeing the crowd gathered on the ground floor, smiled and said.

”Senior Yan Jin.” Although Zhuang Lianyi and the others were uncertain, as Senior Yan Jin had appeared, they still maintained respect and waited to hear what he had to say.

”Qu Luo Pill, refined?” The two martial artists who required the Qu Luo Pill immediately stood up and asked Jing Yan eagerly.

Jing Yan glanced at the two and said, ”Don’t rush, these people are ahead of you. Let me give them their pills before it’s your turn.”

”Fellow Daoist Zhuang Lianyi, you asked to refine a batch of Bi Quan Pill and a batch of Golden Que Pill, correct?” Jing Yan then looked at Zhuang Lianyi and the others.

”That’s right.” Zhuang Lianyi nodded.

”Then please check the pills.” Jing Yan sent the two prepared Jade Bottles across to Zhuang Lianyi.

”I told you long ago, Senior Yan Jin would have our pills ready.” Xie Rong sniffed and said.

Zhuang Lianyi received the two Jade Bottles, opened them quickly, and examined them with Divine Thought.

After checking the first Jade Bottle, Zhuang Lianyi’s expression brightened. Inside this Jade Bottle were three high-quality Bi Quan Pills, all flawless. Then he checked the other bottle, which similarly contained three pills, all Golden Que Pills.

”Three Bi Quan Pills and three Golden Que Pills, all high-quality. Senior Yan Jin, once again, thank you very much.” Zhuang Lianyi was content and stored the pills away.

The previous concern instantly vanished without a trace.

After speaking, he glared fiercely at those two. He had almost, because of these two scoundrels, doubted Senior Yan Jin’s abilities.

At this point, the two martial artists who wanted the Qu Luo Pill appeared truly disheartened.

Their first thought was to suspect these people were acting with Yan Jin, but they quickly dismissed this notion.

”Now it’s our turn, right?” One of them urged.

Even though he tried to maintain composure, at this moment, he found it challenging. If Yan Jin indeed refined the Qu Luo Pill, their loss would be significant, at least two million primary Divine Crystals.

”It must fail, it must fail.” The two prayed silently, eyes fixed on Jing Yan.
