The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1206: Chapter 1206: Beyond the Sky, There Is Always Another Sky

”Refining the Nine Glories Pill, it’s been less than a month since he went in. To say it, it’s quite laughable. This child should have at least stayed in seclusion for a few months before coming out and telling Cloud Sky Domain Master that he failed in alchemy. That way, it could at least increase some credibility.” Guang Luo glanced at Hao Yuntian and continued.

He was very certain that this Yan Jin was a fraud. Although a set of Nine Glories Pill materials without the Other Shore Flower loses value by more than ninety percent, each of these materials is priceless. Pulling off this deal would make one rich.

At this moment, Hao Yuntian also felt his heart sink to the bottom. Before, he still held a glimmer of hope. But now, with that Yan Jin Alchemist coming out in less than a month, how could he have refined the Nine Glories Pill?

”Go and invite Yan Jin Alchemist over.” Hao Yuntian instructed the guard with a face full of gloom.

”Yes!” The guard responded and turned to leave.

Soon, Jing Yan accompanied by the guard entered the room.

Jing Yan noticed Guang Luo was also present, and his eyes flickered. The atmosphere in the room was noticeably oppressive to Jing Yan.

”Lord Domain Master! Elder Guang Luo!” Jing Yan cupped his hands in greeting.

”Yan Jin Alchemist, no need for courtesy.” Hao Yuntian waved his hand.

As for Guang Luo, he acted as if he didn’t hear Jing Yan’s words, without any acknowledgment, not even a nod.

Seeing Guang Luo’s demeanor, Jing Yan sneered inwardly, not bothering to say much.

”Yan Jin Alchemist previously mentioned helping refine the Nine Glories Pill for Hao Yang, have you not yet begun the process?” Hao Yuntian asked in a calm voice.

It had only been about twenty days since their last meeting. If Yan Jin needed some preparation to refine the Nine Glories Pill, that would be understandable.

Jing Yan shook his head.

”The Nine Glories Pill, has been refined.” Jing Yan said.

”Oh? Already refined? Finished in twenty days, could it be a failure? I remember you saying, Yan Jin, that you had a six or seven success rate in refining the Nine Glories Pill. With such a high assurance, yet failing in twenty days, it doesn’t add up!” Guang Luo interjected.

The more Guang Luo looked at Jing Yan, the more displeased he felt, just as Jing Yan felt toward him.

Hearing Guang Luo’s words, Jing Yan’s brows furrowed.

”It seems, this batch of materials is entirely ruined.” Seeing Jing Yan’s silence, Guang Luo continued, ”Yan Jin, in the future, make sure to be cautious. This time you’ve encountered Cloud Sky Domain Master, who is a kind person. Even if you fail in alchemy, he might not hold a grudge against you. But next time, if you encounter someone with a harsher temperament, you could be in real danger. To live long, you must be careful!”

Guang Luo’s tone was of earnest admonition.

His words were quite malicious, deliberately sowing discord in Hao Yuntian’s mind, clearly hoping to incite Hao Yuntian’s anger. Wasn’t he implying that Hao Yuntian is easy to fool and deceive? Implying that Hao Yuntian is naive?

Anyone hearing this would likely feel uncomfortable.

”Mr. Guang Luo, you didn’t succeed in refining the Nine Glories Pill yourself, did you?” Jing Yan’s voice carried a cold undertone.

This old fellow had quite thick skin, failing in his alchemy yet daring to speak in such a seemingly righteous manner. People who didn’t know might even think he succeeded effortlessly.

”Kid, are you challenging this old man?” Guang Luo’s aura tightened as he yelled angrily.

”I certainly cannot compare to Mr. Guang Luo. However, Mr. Guang Luo, I must point out something you got wrong. When did I ever tell you, Mr. Guang Luo, that I failed to refine the Nine Glories Pill?” Jing Yan sneered.

”Hmph, if you didn’t fail, could it be you’ve succeeded? You don’t even have the Other Shore Flower!” Guang Luo instinctively shouted.

”Mr. Guang Luo, have you ever heard of the saying ’there’s always a sky beyond this sky, a person beyond this person’? There might be many things you don’t know. Now I can tell you, refining the Nine Glories Pill does not necessarily require using the Other Shore Flower.” Jing Yan chuckled softly.

”Kid...” Guang Luo felt a surge of breath held in his chest.

He, the top Divine Pill Master of the East Jade Stream Divine Domain, when had he ever been scolded directly by anyone, and now it was a young man doing the scolding. If it weren’t for Hao Yuntian, he might have already struck down Jing Yan.

He glared menacingly at Jing Yan, just about to lash out, when he saw Jing Yan pull out a Jade Bottle, abruptly stopping mid-sentence.

What was happening? Why is this kid taking out a Jade Bottle? Is there an Elixir inside? What Elixir?

Guang Luo fixed his gaze on Jing Yan.

Hao Yuntian was equally curious as he watched Jing Yan. From what Yan Jin was implying, it seemed like he had succeeded in refining the Nine Glories Pill. Especially after seeing Jing Yan take out a Jade Bottle, his heart thumped violently.

Previously, he had lost all hope. Now, seemed like the extinguished hope was being rekindled.

”Lord Domain Master, inside here is a Nine Glories Pill I just refined.” Jing Yan handed the Jade Bottle to Hao Yuntian.

Hao Yuntian instinctively took it, somewhat mechanically opened the stopper, and with a movement of Divine Power, a colorful Elixir slowly floated out from the Jade Bottle.

Seeing this Elixir, Hao Yuntian’s pupils shrank suddenly, his breath became heavy.

This Elixir, from the surface, looked identical to the legendary Nine Glories Pill. At least, with his eyesight, he couldn’t see any abnormalities.

”This...” Hao Yuntian showed an incredulous gaze.

”Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Without the Other Shore Flower, how can you refine the Nine Glories Pill? Besides, in the Divine Realm, which Divine Pill Master can refine the Nine Glories Pill within twenty days?” Guang Luo clamored, his face flushed red, his eyes turning bloodshot.

”Cloud Sky Domain Master, let me see this Elixir. This brat must be trying to deceive you with a Fake Pill, and I’ll expose his despicable trick.” Guang Luo said urgently.

Hao Yuntian thought for a moment and said, ”Mr. Guang Luo, please calm down first.”

Hearing Hao Yuntian’s words, Guang Luo was momentarily stunned. After a while, he indeed calmed down a bit.

”Since Mr. Guang Luo wants to see this Elixir, Yan Jin Alchemist, do you mind?” Hao Yuntian looked at Jing Yan and asked.

”The Elixir has already been given to Lord Domain Master. He can decide.” Jing Yan said indifferently.

Hao Yuntian carefully handed the Elixir to Guang Luo. His actions showed that although he couldn’t be sure of the Elixir’s authenticity, he valued it greatly.

Guang Luo glared fiercely at Jing Yan once again, and after taking the Elixir from Hao Yuntian, he began to examine it carefully.

Guang Luo, known as the foremost High-level Divine Pill Master among the four Jade Stream Divine Domains, was no empty reputation. His Alchemy Dao abilities were indeed strong.
