The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1722 1722: Calm and Unruffled

Before Lady Tu Xuan arrived at Jing Yanʼs alchemy stall, many nearby people were already jealous of him.

And now, Jing Yan was clearly deceiving Lady Tu Xuan, which undoubtedly sparked public outrage.

Jing Yan also sensed the coldness emanating from Lady Tu Xuanʼs beautiful eyes, knowing she didnʼt trust him.

He smiled and didnʼt bother to explain further.

”Are you sure you can refine the Dark Jade Flawless Pill?” Tu Xuanʼs voice turned noticeably colder.

”Absolutely!” Jing Yan nodded.

”How confident are you in successfully refining the Dark Jade Flawless Pill?” Tu Xuan asked again.

”One hundred percent confident!” Jing Yan replied firmly without any hesitation.

”What?” Tu Xuan thought she misheard.

She indeed didnʼt believe Jing Yan could refine the Dark Jade Flawless Pill. She already suspected that Jing Yan was deceiving her. Once she paid the fee, he could pretend for a while and then inform her the elixir refining had failed.

But now, the other party claimed he was one hundred percent confident in successfully refining the Dark Jade Flawless Pill.

Not only Tu Xuan was stunned; the surrounding crowd also showed puzzled expressions.

”Do you realize the consequences of deceiving me? Let me tell you, it will be miserable. If you lie to me, you wonʼt be able to leave Maoqiong Ridge. Now, if you admit you canʼt refine the Dark Jade Flawless Pill, I wonʼt pursue it.” Lady Tu Xuan lightly took a breath and spoke again.

She seemed to have some fondness for Jing Yan, still willing to give him a chance. She said if Jing Yan admitted he couldnʼt refine the Dark Jade Flawless Pill, she wouldnʼt pursue the matter.

”Miss, if you truly wish to commission the refinement of the Dark Jade Flawless Pill, you should provide four sets of materials and twenty Wizard Crystals. Then, tomorrow at this time, you can come to collect the elixir. As I said earlier, I can guarantee the successful refinement of the Dark Jade Flawless Pill. Now I add one more sentence: at least three pills will form from this batch.” Jing Yan said with a smile.

Upon hearing Jing Yanʼs words, Tu Xuan truly became angry.

She said no more, directly taking out the four sets of materials needed to refine the Dark Jade Flawless Pill, along with twenty Wizard Crystals.

Standing beside Jing Yan, Mo Ku stepped forward at this moment, receiving the various materials and Wizard Crystals Tu Xuan handed over.

”Are you saying that by this time tomorrow, I can get at least two Dark Jade Flawless Pills here?” Tu Xuan asked, staring into Jing Yanʼs eyes.

”Exactly.” Jing Yan nodded.

”Very well, then Iʼll come again tomorrow. I must remind you, before we meet again, youʼd better not attempt to leave Maoqiong Ridge.” From Tu Xuan emanated a faint pressure.

As the daughter of the Tu Clan Leader, Tu Xuan was certainly not an ordinary cultivator to be compared to. When she was serious, the dignity of someone in power was very sharp.

Yet such pressure had no effect on Jing Yan at all. After hearing Tu Xuanʼs words, Jing Yan merely nodded slightly.

Afterwards, he watched as Lady Tu Xuan and the maid named Little Li left.

The eyes around him continued to focus on Jing Yan. Most of these gazes carried coldness tinged with murderous intent.

”Boy, youʼre doomed!”

”Cheating Lady Tu Xuan, even if you had nine lives, it wouldnʼt be enough for you to die! Refining the Dark Jade Flawless Pill, with just you? And itʼll be done by tomorrow! Ha, are you really a Divine Pill Master?”

”Donʼt bother saying so much useless stuff to this boy, anyways, by tomorrow, his little life will surely end here.”

”Hmm, he canʼt escape at all, from now on, countless eyes will be watching him.”

Some people spoke with extremely negative emotions, even berating or humiliating Jing Yan.

Jing Yan was too lazy to respond to these people.

After saying a word to Mo Ku, Jing Yan stood up and walked out of the alchemy stall.

Of course, Jing Yan didnʼt leave the square; he approached a building on the squareʼs outskirts.

Around the square, there were many buildings, some specifically designated as alchemy rooms.

On the square, numerous stalls received commissions for alchemy every day, with many cultivators commissioning pill masters. Naturally, those pill masters needed a quiet place to refine elixirs and couldnʼt just refine them publicly on the square, could they?

Even though many pill masters have personal mobile spaces, entering such a space on the square under watchful eyes is not an ideal situation. Even Jing Yan didnʼt wish for other cultivators to see him entering the Qiankun World.

Setting up stalls on the square requires no fees. However, if one wants to use the buildings around the square like alchemy rooms or cultivation rooms, it would require paying a hefty usage fee.

These specially designated buildings are directly controlled by the nine major powers, consistently generating wealth for them.

Jing Yan rented one alchemy room at the cost of one Wizard Crystal per year. This fee is indeed quite expensive.

After paying one Wizard Crystal, Jing Yan received a numbered plate with a number, allowing him entry into the corresponding numbered alchemy room. The time limit is a year.

After spending a day in the alchemy room, Jing Yan emerged and returned to the glorious alchemy stall. After greeting Mo Ku, he sat down to await Lady Tu Xuanʼs arrival to collect the elixir.

”The boy has returned!”

”Heh, letʼs see how he explains himself to Lady Tu Xuan in a while.”

”If he canʼt produce the elixir, the Dark Jade Flawless Pill, then his little life will be lost.”

Many cultivators around, especially some stall owners from alchemy stalls, stared maliciously at Jing Yan. They werenʼt surprised that Jing Yan returned, knowing he had left the stall but not the Extreme Land Square.

...

”Miss, do you really believe that man can refine the Dark Jade Flawless Pill? Plus, he claimed a one hundred percent success rate. Hmph, even Mr. Tu Yang hasnʼt assured that, right?” Little Li said, frowning.

Tu Xuan remained silent and said nothing.

”Miss, if that man canʼt produce the Dark Jade Flawless Pill, will you kill him? In my opinion, killing him would be letting him off too easily.” Little Li said fiercely.

”Once we meet him, we will naturally know if he was lying. If he truly dares to deceive me, I definitely wonʼt forgive him.” Tu Xuan glanced at the maid and said.

The two of them quickly re-entered the Extreme Land Square. Tu Xuanʼs gaze promptly locked onto Jing Yanʼs glorious alchemy stall. Seeing Jing Yan sitting there, her eyes flickered slightly.

”Miss, look at that guy, acting all calm. It really seems like heʼs already refined the Dark Jade Flawless Pill.” Little Li rolled her eyes and pointed at Jing Yan.
