Chapter 1256: Chapter 1256: How to Show Gratitude

Some Divine Pill Masters also showed a look of eagerness to try.

In their view, extracting the juice from the Divine Grass was something they could completely assist with, as they understood the medicinal properties of these Divine Grass very well.

However, Jing Yan shook his head at Qi Mei Sect Master.

Jing Yan spoke, ”To be safe, I must personally handle this matter.”

Upon hearing Jing Yan’s words, many Divine Pill Masters wore expressions of displeasure. Clearly, they assumed that the Yan Jin Alchemist was afraid they would steal the credit.

Even Qi Mei and others instinctively felt the same way at first. After all, extracting the juice from Divine Grass, let alone the high-level Divine Pill Masters present, even ordinary Martial Artists could accomplish with careful effort.

”Extracting the juice from these herbs requires using different heat levels for each type of Divine Grass. This heat is crucial; too much or too little can render the juice ineffective,” Jing Yan explained after a pause.

Instantly, Qi Mei Sect Master and others came to understand.

As for those Divine Pill Masters, they all showed varying degrees of disappointment, as they initially thought they could cheaply acquire a rare medicine formula today. However, it now seemed that even if they knew the juice concocted from these types of Divine Grass could eliminate the effects of the Jade Essence, it was still difficult for them to concoct the juice medicine based on this knowledge.

Grasping the heat without prior knowledge to experiment is no easy task.

”Whoosh!”

Jing Yan’s Divine Power circulated, and his Divine Soul was released.

One by one, the Divine Grass began to fly.

”Go!” Jing Yan called out softly.

A large volume of Divine Grass flew to the sky above the Lan Wood Spiritual Root.

Under the control of Jing Yan’s Divine Soul Power, the Divine Grass was quickly grouped one by one. Then, under the pressure of powerful Divine Power, large quantities of juice were extracted and fused.

Everyone present kept their eyes fixed on Jing Yan’s actions.

”Impossible! He cannot succeed!”

”How can the effects of Jade Essence be eradicated by just a few cheap Divine Grass? It’s utter folly!”

”Hmph, if there really were such a method, I would surely have heard of it. But I have never heard of such a method, so he surely cannot succeed and must be putting on an act,” Zhen Qing’s eyes drilled into Jing Yan, his gaze sinister, thoughts swirling in his mind.

In fact, among the dozens of high-level Divine Pill Masters present, perhaps some had scant belief in the juice medicine Jing Yan was concocting, but the majority remained skeptical.

This was entirely beyond their scope of understanding.

The Void Breaking Pill that Jing Yan had previously presented was surprising enough. But at least the Void Breaking Pill was recorded in many Alchemy Classics, yet the juice medicine Jing Yan was now concocting was completely unheard of.

”Drop!” Jing Yan softly called out once more.

The concocted juice medicine, like raindrops, descended onto the Lan Wood Spiritual Root below.

Due to the large volume of Divine Grass, Jing Yan could not completely concoct it in a short time. Therefore, he continually concocted and meanwhile let the fused juice medicine fall like rain on the Lan Wood Spiritual Root.

”Swish~”

The sound of raindrops striking the Lan Wood Spiritual Root was dense and pleasant.

Thin wisps of mist began to rise from the Lan Wood Spiritual Root.

The mist grew thicker, gradually enveloping the entire Lan Wood Spiritual Root. From outside, it appeared as if an enchanting fairyland lay within.

As layers of mist accumulated, Jing Yan maintained the flow of his Divine Power and Divine Soul Power within.

A cup of tea’s time passed.

Thirty minutes passed.

An hour passed.

Two hours of time quietly slipped away.

At this moment, Jing Yan finally completed the extraction of all the Divine Grass, and the concocted juice medicine was thoroughly showered upon the Lan Wood Spiritual Root.

The waiting Xiao Wangyue and others appeared extremely tense.

Because the mist obstructed their view, they could not clearly see what was happening inside. Moreover, they dared not cover directly over with Divine Thought, so they lacked insight into any changes within the mist encompassing the Lan Wood Spiritual Root.

Although only two short hours had passed, it felt as if ten thousand years had dragged by for the members of Yunxia Sect.

A breeze blew by.

The mist finally began to slowly dissipate. The Lan Wood Spiritual Root gradually became visible to the naked eye.

”It seems, a change has occurred.”

”Yes, though I don’t know if it’s an illusion, it appears somewhat greener.”

”It’s not an illusion; the Lan Wood Spiritual Root showed signs of wilting, but now there’s a hint of green amidst the yellow.”

”Yes, the juice medicine formulated by Yan Jin Alchemist is effective.”

The high-level Divine Pill Masters exchanged low-voiced, astonished remarks.

Xiao Wangyue, Qi Mei, and others shot beams of radiant hope from their eyes. Hope ignited within them. Of course, Qi Mei had already harbored great confidence in Jing Yan when transporting the Divine Grass previously.

A while later, the coiling mist almost fully dissipated.

”The Spiritual Energy released by the Lan Wood Spiritual Root has weakened.”

”Indeed. The Life Aura is also gradually stabilizing, unlike the previous chaotic state.”

”...”

The transformation of the Lan Wood Spiritual Root was now very evident. Everyone present could clearly perceive this change. Although currently, the Lan Wood Spiritual Root hadn’t yet returned to its lush, verdant state, it seemed merely a matter of time.

Xiao Wangyue and others were thrilled beyond control.

However, another issue continued to weigh heavily on their minds: the underlying problem faced by the Lan Wood Spiritual Root had not yet been resolved. Even now, the Life Force of the Lan Wood Spiritual Root continued to drain at a steady pace.

Although Yan Jin Alchemist had managed to eliminate the dreadful effect of the Jade Essence, the fundamental problem remained unsolved. Considering the current situation, in several decades, at most a hundred years, the sect’s Lan Wood Spiritual Root would still perish, devoid of vitality.

Standing among the audience, Zhen Qing bore a twisted expression, appearing as though he wished to devour someone.

Though he vehemently resisted admitting it, the truth glared before him, directly within his eyes. No matter how unwilling, he had to concede that Yan Jin had indeed eliminated the impact of Jade Essence on the Lan Wood Spiritual Root.

Amidst his fury, Zhen Qing felt his cheek burn with shame. Were it not for the extensive restrictions inside and outside Floating Mountain, and lacking guidance from Yunxia Sect’s members for departure, he would likely have stormed off immediately in anger.

”Mr. Yan Jin, I truly don’t know how to express my gratitude to you,” Qi Mei Sect Master looked at Jing Yan with excitement.

”Indeed. Without Mr. Yan Jin, our sect’s Lan Wood Spiritual Root would turn into a heap of desiccated branches three years hence.”

”Mr. Yan Jin has shown great benevolence to our Yunxia Sect,” several Supreme Elders also expressed gratitude to Jing Yan.

”Hmph!” Zhen Qing cast a scornful glance, coldly saying, ”Under these circumstances, what good does it do for Yunxia Sect? In decades, the Lan Wood Spiritual Root will still turn into a heap of desiccated branches.”
