The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1155: Chapter 1155: Unreliable

”Senior Brother, this is the Senior Yan Jin God Alchemist I mentioned to you earlier,” Xie Rong introduced Jing Yan to the three people beside her.

While Jing Yan was observing Zhuang Lianyi and the others, they were also scrutinizing Jing Yan.

In their impression, God Alchemists are usually quite old. Even if there are young God Alchemists, they are almost all low-level God Alchemists who can only refine heavenly repairing pills.

But Junior Sister Xie Rong told them that this Yan Jin God Alchemist can even refine intermediate divine pills.

”Could it be that he just looks young, but is actually not?” Zhuang Lianyi mused to himself.

Without understanding Jing Yan’s background, he did not dare to recklessly use divine thought to probe Jing Yan. Although he is a four-star true god realm, and even if he used divine thought to probe a martial artist of a lower realm, they wouldn’t notice. However, Zhuang Lianyi did not want to take unnecessary risks at this moment.

If this person’s alchemy ability is truly powerful, offending him rashly could be a grave mistake.

No martial artist likes being probed by others using divine thought.

Of course, even if he used divine thought to probe Jing Yan, he would not gain any information. The gap in realms is too large, let alone being a four-star true god, even a nine-star true god would find it difficult to glean any information from Jing Yan.

”Greetings, Senior!” In the blink of an eye, Zhuang Lianyi cupped his hands in salute to Jing Yan.

The other two, seeing Zhuang Lianyi saluting, followed suit.

Being overly polite is not faulted; regardless of this person’s true capabilities, showing respect cannot be wrong.

”No need to be so formal, fellow Daoists,” Jing Yan waved a hand, smiling faintly.

Before these few people, Jing Yan showed not a hint of arrogance. It wasn’t a deliberate act; Jing Yan naturally wasn’t someone who enjoyed putting on airs. For instance, when he first met Gui Ben, he showed no airs whatsoever.

”Senior, are those elixirs on the counter?” Xie Rong noticed five jade bottles within the counter behind Jing Yan.

When she first visited, there were no elixirs available for sale in the pill shop.

Hearing Xie Rong’s question, Jing Yan suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.

He hadn’t expected Xie Rong to return so quickly. Had he known Xie Rong would return, Jing Yan wouldn’t have hastily put the white chalk pills up for sale.

If Xie Rong realized he was selling white chalk pills, she might rightly deduce that these were pills Jing Yan kept for himself during an alchemy session for her.

”Well... indeed, these are elixirs, and they are white chalk pills inside.” Since Xie Rong asked, Jing Yan couldn’t avoid answering.

After all, he hadn’t done anything shameful.

One batch of elixir formed three pills, and they were of high quality. Xie Rong had already received them and should be satisfied.

”White chalk pills?” Zhuang Lianyi’s eyes flickered at Jing Yan’s mentioning that the jade bottles contained white chalk pills. He glanced at Xie Rong, harboring a guess within.

Nonetheless, being a smart person, he did not voice his conjectures.

”Senior, may we take a look at these elixirs?” Zhuang Lianyi asked promptly.

”Of course, these elixirs are for sale.” Jing Yan reached out, taking out a few jade bottles and placing them on the counter, allowing Zhuang Lianyi and the others to step forward and inspect them.

”All are high-quality white chalk pills.”

”Each jade bottle contains two pills; five jade bottles make ten pills in total.”

”This Senior Yan Jin previously helped Junior Sister Xie Rong refine five batches of white chalk pills, already handing over fifteen pills to her. So, if these ten pills also originated from those batches, doesn’t it mean this Senior Yan Jin could produce five pills from a batch?” Zhuang Lianyi took a sharp breath, his heart shaking with astonishment.

To form five high-quality white chalk pills in one batch showcases an indeed formidable alchemy ability.

”Senior Yan Jin, may I ask what the price of these white chalk pills is?” After his moment of contemplation, Zhuang Lianyi quickly calmed his mind before looking at Jing Yan and inquiring.

”Hehe... The pill shop is newly opened, and since Daoist Xie Rong is the first customer of the Radiant Pill Store, naturally, the price won’t be high for friends of Daoist Xie Rong. If you buy them all, you can have them at five hundred thousand first-grade divine crystals each,” Jing Yan paused and stated.

For high-quality white chalk pills, five hundred thousand first-grade divine crystals aren’t easily found even within the divine domain.

This price is indeed very economical.

Hearing the price, Zhuang Lianyi and the others were naturally quite tempted.

”We’ll buy them all,” Zhuang Lianyi did not hesitate and directly handed over five million first-grade divine crystals to Jing Yan.

To martial artists in the true god realm, white chalk pills aren’t particularly effective. But for Xie Rong, who hasn’t yet entered the true god realm, these pills are precious divine pills. Having more white chalk pills allows Junior Sister Xie Rong to reach the true god realm faster.

”Senior Yan Jin, would you be able to refine Huoyang Pills?” After handing the five jade bottles over to Xie Rong, Zhuang Lianyi proceeded to ask Jing Yan.

The Huoyang Pill is also a low-level elixir.

However, among low-grade divine pills, it is considered a top-tier divine pill.

The difficulty in refining is even greater than that of purple beauty pills, a type of intermediate basic divine pill.

In the divine domain, typically only intermediate divine pill masters can refine the Huoyang Pill.

Zhuang Lianyi inquired whether Jing Yan could refine the Huoyang Pill to further ascertain whether Jing Yan was indeed an intermediate divine pill master. If so, he intended to commission Jing Yan to craft some intermediate divine pills.

The intermediate divine pills he desired were exceedingly valuable. His concern was if he provided Jing Yan with the materials for intermediate divine pills, and Jing Yan later claimed failure and material loss, the resultant loss would be significant.

Although the materials for a Huoyang Pill are likewise precious, losing such a set would cost only over two million first-grade divine crystals, a bearable loss for Zhuang Lianyi and his peers.

”I can, as long as there are materials,” Jing Yan assured with a sweeping gesture.

”Good, then I humbly request Senior Yan Jin to refine a batch of Huoyang Pills,” Zhuang Lianyi stated.

”Refining Huoyang Pills is more challenging, so the cost is significantly higher than white chalk pills,” Jing Yan remarked with a cheerful expression, ”For one batch, a fee of two million first-grade divine crystals is needed.”

”Thank you in advance, Senior,” Zhuang Lianyi didn’t have the slightest hesitation upon hearing the price quoted by Jing Yan.

This fee is indeed reasonable. A single Huoyang Pill is worth over two hundred thousand first-grade divine crystals. If Jing Yan manages to form three pills in a batch, it would be wonderful.

”Wait for me for thirty minutes,” Jing Yan, accepting the materials, left these words to the group before going upstairs.

Although Gui Ben wasn’t present at the moment, with the first floor empty, Jing Yan had little to worry about.

”Senior Brother, why do I feel this might be unreliable?” one person frowned, ”The Huoyang Pill, can it be refined in just thirty minutes?”
