The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 557: Chapter 557: The Return of the Perfect Elixir【Four Updates】

Exceptional Performance!

The Golden Pattern Sun and Moon Pill is not the most precious among Seventh-level Elixirs, but it is definitely of high to upper-mid tier.

As a High-level Elixir, its value is incomparable to that of Sixth-level Elixirs. Even the top-tier Sixth-level Elixirs usually cannot compare to Seventh-level Elixirs.

This is much like comparing Sixth-level Alchemists to Seventh-level Alchemists; although there is only one level difference, it is a qualitative difference.

Looking at the six pills in his hand, Wan Lai’s eyes were somewhat red.

”Ha ha ha... First place is mine!” Wan Lai’s voice boomed.

Then, the elder in a white robe presented the Jade Box containing six Golden Pattern Sun and Moon Pills to the ten judges.

The judges began to evaluate the Golden Pattern Sun and Moon Pills.

”This is indeed a Seventh-level Elixir, Golden Pattern Sun and Moon Pill, no mistake!”

”And among the six pills, three are First-class and three are Second-class. Very good, extremely valuable!”

”Alchemist Wan Lai’s skills in Alchemy Dao are formidable. Coupled with the assistance of Source Power, producing six Golden Pattern Sun and Moon Pills, he undoubtedly deserves the first place at this Alchemy Festival!”

”Alchemist Wan Li, I must congratulate you in advance. The Wan Family will gain another Source Power!” The judge from the Fang Family spoke with a hint of sourness.

The Fang Family is also an Alchemy Dao Family on the Continent, but the Fang Family only has one Source Power, whereas the Wan Family already had two Source Powers, and now they seemed to have secured the third Source Power as well, which would only increase the gap between them.

Alchemist Wan Li also pursed her lips in a smile.

Clearly, she too believed that Wan Lai had won first place at this Alchemy Festival. The Source Power was within reach! Naturally, she was extremely pleased! Not only for her family, but personally as well, if she obtained this third Source Power, she also hoped to compete for it to make it her own, as she was after all a top-tier Eighth-level Alchemist.

”Let’s take a look at the Elixir produced by Alchemist Jing Yan!” Sun Qi spoke.

As soon as Sun Qi spoke, the other judges also turned their attention to Jing Yan, filled with curiosity.

Because, up until then, they still had not determined what Elixir Jing Yan had produced. Some suspected that Jing Yan had made an Elixir that could no longer be found on the Continent. Others thought that the batch of Elixir Jing Yan had refined might have failed.

”Alchemist Jing Yan, please open the furnace and retrieve the Elixir!” The elder in the white robe faced Jing Yan.

At that moment, Jing Yan looked very serious.

He too recognized that Wan Lai had made the Golden Pattern Sun and Moon Pill, and after hearing the judges say that among the six Golden Pattern Sun and Moon Pills, three were First-class and three were Second-class, Jing Yan felt even less confident.

”Alchemist Jing Yan! Alchemist Wan Lai had the aid of Source Power; losing to him is normal, much better than me. When I competed with Alchemist Wan Lai, he did not use Source Power.” Ma Rong said with a smile to Jing Yan, intending to console him.

”Heh heh...”

”Thank you, Alchemist Ma Rong.” Jing Yan nodded at Ma Rong.

Then, Jing Yan opened the furnace.

Accompanied by a faint sound, Jing Yan activated his Primordial Energy and took out the Dragon Tiger Pills from the Pill Furnace.

”It is indeed just four Dragon Tiger Pills!” Jing Yan shook his head slightly.

While refining, Jing Yan had felt that this batch of Elixir would only form four pills. Seeing four pills slowly flying out now, obviously confirmed his prior sensing.

”Eh? What kind of Elixir is this?”

”Alchemist Jing Yan has actually really produced an Elixir.”

”Only... it seems like I’ve never seen this kind of Elixir before. Everyone, have you seen it?”

The judges, seeing the Elixir produced by Jing Yan, frowned one after another, asking the others in a puzzled tone.

However, everyone clearly did not recognize the Dragon Tiger Pills.

Sitting with Chang Huan was Hu Donghe, whose eyes slightly stirred.

”It can’t be!” Hu Donghe muttered in surprise.

He recognized the Dragon Tiger Pills and felt they looked familiar, seemingly similar to an elixir he had once seen in the classics. However, he couldn’t be sure now. Moreover, the pill formula for that elixir had disappeared thousands of years ago and should no longer be known by any Pill Master on the continent, let alone be able to refine it.

”Only four pills formed?”

Wan Lai glanced at the elixirs in Jing Yan’s hand and scoffed.

He, of course, did not recognize this type of elixir.

He did not care much either. Even though the elixirs Jing Yan had refined were Seventh-level Elixirs, having only four pills couldn’t compare with his six Golden Pattern Sun and Moon Pills. Furthermore, he didn’t believe Jing Yan could refine Seventh-level Elixirs.

”Boom!”

”Sss!”

Right at that moment, a sudden change occurred!

A colorful radiance descended from the sky.

As this radiance appeared quite abruptly, no one was prepared, which shocked everyone present. What was happening?

After the colorful radiance appeared, it landed on the four Dragon Tiger Pills and then entered the pills.

This energy was extremely peculiar. Although it didn’t seem to possess great power in sensing, everyone could feel that the colorful radiance was very dense and carried an undeniable awe, even inspiring thoughts of worship.

”Pfft!”

After the colorful radiance disappeared, the four black-and-white pills underwent another change.

”Aow!”

”Roar!”

Several patterns emerged on the pills.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the patterns were of a tiger and a dragon soaring upward, both emitting chants and roars.

Everyone inside the Alchemy Hall was completely stunned.

Not only the white-robed elders and judges, but Great Alchemist King Hu Donghe and the Holy City Envoy Chang Huan were also flabbergasted!

An utterly unexpected transformation.

Even Jing Yan himself was slightly stunned.

Perfect Quality!

Within this batch of elixirs, two of the Dragon Tiger Pills had achieved perfect quality. Perfect quality elixirs could invoke the Laws of Heaven and Earth and gain their acknowledgment.

This wasn’t the first time Jing Yan had refined perfect quality elixirs; the first time should have been when he was in Haofeng City refining the Divine Dao Pill. At that time, Jing Yan had advanced several realms just by refining that Divine Dao Pill.

Over the following years, Jing Yan refined a large number of elixirs and occasionally managed to achieve perfect quality. However, those were relatively low-level elixirs; he had never managed to produce perfect quality in Sixth-level Elixirs.

Of course, Jing Yan refining perfect quality elixirs had never been known to others. Even Zhou Shangyun was not aware.

Perfect quality elixirs were also called Divine Pills. Of course, this was an exaggeration.

Out of the four Dragon Tiger Pills, two had achieved perfect quality. The other two were of first-class quality.

Jing Yan looked at the four pills in his hand, his heart pounding. This batch of elixirs clearly exceeded expectations. Just moments ago, Jing Yan had been disappointed by only forming four pills, but now his mood was completely the opposite.
