The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1200: Chapter 1200: Registered Disciple

Jing Yan stood slightly behind Hao Yang, his eyes focused and unwavering.

”Hao Yang, there’s no need for such formalities!” Guang Luo nodded towards Hao Yang.

Both Hao Yuntian and Guang Luo shifted their gazes from Hao Yang to Jing Yan.

”Father, this is the Fellow Daoist Yan Jin I mentioned to you earlier.” Hao Yang introduced in passing.

”Greetings, Lord Domain Master, and this elder.” Jing Yan bowed to the two seated individuals following Hao Yang’s introduction.

”Yan Jin, since you’re a friend of Hao Yang, there’s no need for restraint here.” Hao Yuntian said to Jing Yan with slightly narrowed eyes.

Although his expression was stern, Hao Yuntian’s tone with Jing Yan was quite courteous.

”I heard that you entered the top fifty on the Demon Hunting List by hunting Flame Demons in just eight years?” Hao Yuntian continued to ask.

”Yes!” Jing Yan replied.

Sitting to the side, Guang Luo’s eyes flickered. Although Hao Yuntian mentioned to him earlier that this Yan Jin was quite impressive, he hadn’t mentioned that Yan Jin entered the top fifty of the Demon Hunting List in eight years.

This news is truly astonishing. It seems that what the Cloud Sky Domain Master said wasn’t an exaggeration. This person named Yan Jin indeed has extraordinary methods.

”Hmm, Yan Jin, I’ve also heard that you are a Divine Pill Master? Such a young Divine Pill Master is rare in the God Realm.” Hao Yuntian nodded and asked again.

In any Divine Domain, whether a Low-level or High-class Divine Domain, Divine Pill Masters hold a special status. Martial Artists with talent in Alchemy Dao are extremely scarce. Furthermore, Divine Pill Masters are typically older.

”I am indeed a Divine Pill Master. As I mentioned before, if Brother Hao Yang wants to refine elixirs, he can ask me for help.” Jing Yan replied with an unchanged expression.

Upon hearing Jing Yan’s words, both Hao Yuntian and Guang Luo’s mouths slightly twitched. Even Hao Yuntian, who rarely smiled, showed a faint smile.

”Yan Jin, your kindness, I believe Hao Yang will appreciate it. However, with Mr. Guang Luo here, it’s unlikely you’ll be needed for alchemy. Mr. Guang Luo is a High-level Divine Pill Master.” Hao Yuntian said to Jing Yan.

These words were not meant to belittle Jing Yan. Hao Yuntian understood the good intention behind Jing Yan’s words.

Guang Luo is a High-level Divine Pill Master, and not just an ordinary one at that. In the Beibi River Divine Domain, even the strongest Divine Pill Master is a cut below Guang Luo. Guang Luo is considered the top Divine Pill Master in the East Jade Stream Divine Domain.

The East Jade Stream Divine Domain is the most powerful among the four Jade Stream Divine Domains – the Eastern, Southern, Western, and Northern Jade Stream Divine Domains.

Among Intermediate Divine Domains, there are differences in overall strength. Among the four Jade Stream Divine Domains, the East Jade Stream Divine Domain boasts the greatest overall strength. Even the Upper Pure Secret Realm lies within the East Jade Stream Divine Domain.

A young Pill Master like Jing Yan talking about helping with alchemy in front of someone like Guang Luo is akin to showing off a blade before a master swordsman, hence Hao Yuntian’s amused expression.

”Brother Yan, Mr. Guang Luo is acknowledged as the strongest High-level Divine Pill Master among the four Jade Stream Divine Domains.” Hao Yang said beside Jing Yan.

Jing Yan’s expression changed, quickly turning to look at Guang Luo, ”So Mr. Guang Luo is a High-level Divine Pill Master. I have been presumptuous as a junior.”

Guang Luo gave Jing Yan a slight nod.

”Yan Jin, what elixirs are you capable of refining? You came at just the right time and it seems your luck is good, to have encountered Mr. Guang Luo. If Mr. Guang Luo offers you some guidance in Alchemy Dao, you will benefit immensely!” Hao Yuntian, appearing in good spirits, spoke a bit more.

”Lord Yun Tian, you overpraise me, my abilities are limited.” Guang Luo said modestly, though his expression did not exhibit any modesty, ”Yan Jin, if you share your refining experience, and if your foundation is decent, I might consider accepting you as a registered disciple.”

This last remark was directed at Jing Yan.

The thought of accepting Jing Yan as a registered disciple was purely out of respect for Hao Yuntian. Otherwise, Guang Luo would not typically consider taking on a registered disciple so casually.

”Congratulations Brother Yan, being able to enter Mr. Guang Luo’s tutelage, you will surely soar in the Alchemy Dao.” Hao Yang congratulated Jing Yan from the side.

”Yan Jin, hurry and thank Mr. Guang Luo!” Hao Yuntian also said to Jing Yan.

But at this moment, Jing Yan frowned.

Jing Yan inherited the Qiankun Pill Path and is currently a High-level Divine Pill Master. While Jing Yan doesn’t believe his alchemy ability necessarily surpasses Guang Luo’s, it’s at least comparable.

Jing Yan has no intention of apprenticing himself to Guang Luo for Alchemy Dao. Whether as a registered disciple or a true disciple, Jing Yan is not interested.

Jing Yan’s expression was naturally observed by the others in the room.

Guang Luo’s face immediately darkened. Looking at Jing Yan again revealed displeasure. Although not irritation, a hint of disapproval was evident. He had personally promised to take this Yan Jin as a registered disciple, yet the other party hesitated.

Is this old man being presumptuous?

”Brother Yan, what’s the matter? Do you not know how many Divine Pill Masters in these Divine Domains yearn for even a little guidance from Mr. Guang Luo, yet cannot obtain it?” Hao Yang was becoming anxious.

Jing Yan glanced at Hao Yang and shook his head.

Then turned to look at Guang Luo, ”Elder, you might not know that I already have a master in Alchemy Dao. Without my master’s consent, I fear I cannot decide on my own to have another Alchemy Dao master.”

Jing Yan intentionally displayed a helpless expression.

He didn’t want to offend Guang Luo unwarrantedly, so a direct refusal would surely embarrass Guang Luo. His master in Alchemy Dao was the Master of the Death Temple. However, to have the Death Temple Master agree to him having another Alchemy Dao mentor was unrealistic, as the Master of the Death Temple had fallen untold millennia ago.

”Haha, if that’s the case, then let’s act like I never mentioned it.” Guang Luo waved his hand, his displeasure was apparent.

The Hao Yuntian Domain Master did not speak further with Jing Yan, and instead looked towards his son Hao Yang.

”Hao Yang, Mr. Guang Luo has come from the Eastern Domain to prepare to refine the Nine Glories Pill for you. Do not go out in the coming period. If the Nine Glories Pill can be successfully refined, it may provide a chance for you to step into the Main God Realm. If it fails, you’ll have to rely on the power of other Divine Cores.” Hao Yuntian spoke with a grave expression.

”Yes!” Hao Yang bowed.

Nine Glories Pill?

Hearing the name of this elixir, Jing Yan’s eyes subtly shifted. He was, of course, familiar with the Nine Glories Pill. Within the Qiankun Pill Path, there exists the pill formula and related descriptions of this elixir.

The Nine Glories Pill is a special High-level Divine Pill, extremely difficult to refine. Each required material is exceedingly precious. Jing Yan felt a slight tremor in his heart due to the effects of the Nine Glories Pill, as it is a High-level Divine Pill that nourishes the Dao Palace.
