Alchemy Master

Chapter 805, Shocking the Four Elders

Translator: Silavin

Within the palace halls atop the peak.

The four Elders’ expressions appeared somewhat gloomy, because the Pill floating between them had already been reduced to less than the size of a soybean!

At this moment, neither the six Disciples nor the four Elders had managed to deduce even the slightest clue…

*Rustle rustle…*

Finally, as Spiritual Energy peeled away the final layers, the Pill suspended in mid-air gradually turned to powder, falling piece by piece to the ground.

“I told you we couldn’t dismantle it…” Watching the expressions of his three old companions, Elder Xu knew that they too had failed to comprehend its essence.

*Haa…*

The three Elders also shook their heads, their expressions dejected. One Elder even had tears welling in his eyes, overcome with grief.

This was the fundamental nature of those obsessed with the Dao of Alchemy!

A Pill of revolutionary significance lay before them, yet they lacked the ability to understand it completely. As Heaven Grade Alchemists, their hearts overflowed with self-reproach and guilt.

“What do we do now?” An Elder shook his head, sighing softly.

Hearing this, everyone fell silent, only occasional sighs breaking the stillness.

“Sirs…”

In this oppressive atmosphere, a weak voice suddenly called out from outside the grand hall.

“Didn’t we say not to disturb us!?” Upon hearing this voice, the Elder beside Elder Xu, the one with the most volatile temperament, furrowed his brow and directly rebuked.

*Clang!* Under this rebuke, as if startled, a clattering sound came from outside the door.

After a long pause, as if hesitating repeatedly, the guard outside spoke again. “Sir—Sirs… The Manager from the Outer Sect Southern Brilliant Hall told me to bring something up, saying that once you see it, you’ll understand.”

“The Outer Sect Southern Brilliant Hall Manger? Dong Yu?”

“Bring it in.”

Just as that Elder prepared to rebuke again, Elder Xu beside him, as if recalling something, spoke first.

Hearing this, the guard hastily trotted inside, respectfully presenting a jade bottle and a jade box.

“What are these?”

Seeing these two items, everyone furrowed their brows. Subsequently, Elder Xu picked up the jade bottle. Through its surface, one could see medicinal liquid contained within.

*Pop…*

After hesitating briefly, Elder Xu still removed the stopper. As the jade bottle tilted, under his control, the medicinal liquid within flowed out, floating in mid-air.

The instant they saw this medicinal liquid, the expressions of the four Elders and numerous outstanding Disciples in the hall all changed dramatically.

“This… this is!?”

Elder Xu’s hands trembled with excitement, his eyes widening enormously. Everyone, one after another, gaped in astonishment, staring fixedly at that medicinal liquid!

This medicinal liquid appeared to be around the Sixth Grade. Anyone present could easily refine it.

However, what shocked them was that this medicinal liquid revealed two completely different essences. Clearly, this was no ordinary medicinal liquid but rather existed in that very domain they had been painstakingly researching without breakthrough!

*Smack!*

At this moment, an Elder suddenly reacted, practically snatching the jade box from the guard’s hands. Under numerous tense gazes, the jade box was impatiently opened by him. A perfectly rounded Pill lay within.

When they saw that Pill, everyone’s expressions froze completely. Pairs of eyes stared fixedly at it, as if time itself had stopped in this very moment.

“Hahaha… Heaven has blessed our Brilliant Sky Sacred Land! Heaven has blessed our Brilliant Sky Sacred Land!”

After a considerable time had passed, the four Elders finally reacted. They exchanged glances, then roars of unbridled laughter suddenly erupted.

“Where’s Dong Yu? Quickly, bring him in!” Elder Xu laughed heartily, speaking with elation.

“We never imagined that we old fellows actually lack his level of comprehension! He actually understood it first!”

The other Elders also nodded with satisfaction, their faces full of gratification.

“Dong Yu?” The guard froze momentarily, then said. “That Outer Sect Manager has already left?”

“He left!?” Upon hearing this, confusion flashed through the eyes of the four Elders.

“Yes.” The guard nodded, then, as if remembering something, hastily continued, “Manager Dong also said that if you wish to meet the person who refined this Pill, quickly go to the Outer Sect Battle Hall to save someone!”

“Save someone? Save who?”

“Could it be that this Pill wasn’t refined by Dong Yu?!”

The four Elders exchanged glances, then cried out somewhat incredulously.

“What is Dong Yu playing at…”

“How could someone who refined such a Pill be someone in the Outer Sect?”

“Could it be that someone is attempting to harm that person…”

As if realising something, the four Elders could no longer sit still.

“Quickly, quickly go to the Northern Brilliant Hall!”

…

Within the Northern Brilliant Battle Hall, liveliness reigned supreme.

At this moment, a large crowd packed densely around a duelling platform. Numerous gazes fixed upon the two people in the arena.

One was Yi Buzui, whose strength could rank within the top thirty of the Outer Sect. He stood calmly within the Battle Hall, drawing numerous fervent gazes.

The other bore an unfamiliar face. He was merely an Early Stage Martial Emperor, and his aura provoked considerable mockery.

“Hahaha, I truly don’t know who gave him the courage…”

“Truly a newborn calf unafraid of tigers!”

“A mere Early Stage Martial Emperor actually dares challenge Senior Brother Yi. Were this year’s newcomers all dropped on their heads at birth?”

“Probably. First a brash simpleton, then a greenhorn. Their fates will likely be the same.”

To one side, several newly arrived Disciples heard these mocking voices, their expressions somewhat ugly.

However, what proved astonishing was that beneath these jeers, that slender figure on the Battle Hall platform maintained a calm expression, neither startled nor fearful. If he possessed any emotion, it was only the occasional furious killing intent flowing from his form.

“*Haaa…* Hopefully he can endure a moment, then descend himself.”

At this time, the new Disciples could only hope for this. As long as he could withstand a single strike, even if he surrendered, presumably those veterans wouldn’t mock him. After all, a Peak Stage Martial Emperor versus an Early Stage Martial Emperor. These two were not even on the same level!

Under numerous watching gazes, the two people on the Battle Hall platform also gradually locked eyes. The flowing air seemed to solidify in this very moment.

“To dare stand opposing me, Yi Buzui. Brat, your courage is truly astonishing.” Yi Buzui stared at Qin Yichen, his light laughter echoing forth.

“The truly astonishing matters are yet to come.” Qin Yichen’s gaze lowered slightly. Originally, he had only wanted to act discreetly, avoiding the spotlight.

However, Li Yuanba had nearly been beaten to death. This had already violated his bottom line. Throughout their journey together, Li Yuanba had treated him like Family. Regardless of what they faced, even when standing opposite Qiao Linlang and Gu Feitian, he had shown not the slightest hesitation!

Upon entering the Sacred Land, one could say neither of them had any support. In such a place, with Li Yuanba suffering such grievous injury, Qin Yichen could finally endure no longer!

He would make Yi Buzui pay a heavy price. For this, even if it meant exposing his trump cards, he would spare nothing!
