Chapter 275: A Fortunate Encounter
In the crowd, Ji Yang’s face was calm and tranquil like an ancient well!
Dropping Dew Pill?
What kind of pill is that? Before today, he had never even heard of it!
But that’s alright.
Since he hadn’t heard of it, wasn’t there still someone in the mirror?
As an ancient cultivator, the middle-aged man did not disappoint Ji Yang. He conveyed the method to refine this pill and the key points to pay attention to through his primordial spirit’s Transmission.
In contrast to Ji Yang’s composure, the elderly man beside him was secretly troubled, his expression grim!
If the assessment gradually increased in difficulty, he believed his young master still had a chance to enter the top ten or even the top five.
But with such a high difficulty today, he worried whether Feng Yu’s alchemy skills could successfully refine it!
If this fails, who knows if the Seven Star Dan Furnace will ever be retrieved.
The elderly man had many concerns, but seeing Ji Yang’s confident demeanor, he said nothing more.
The key was that speaking would be of no use, and he knew his young master’s temperament well!
“Alright, let’s begin!”
After reading some simple rules for the competition, Elder Guan quietly stood to the side, continuously using the messaging talisman in his hand to contact the cultivators searching for Ji Yang outside!
Although he couldn’t leave right now, as long as there was news about Ji Yang, he could leave this place at any moment!
Before long, Ji Yang arrived at the stone platform that belonged to Feng Yu!
On the stone platform, various high-level spiritual plants for refining Dropping Dew Pills were displayed, a total of two sets!
These spiritual plants were not very old, but pulling out so many at once showed that the Heaven Demon Sect was quite wealthy!
He wondered if he would have the opportunity to further his studies in the spiritual herb garden of the Heaven Demon Sect!
But that was only a thought!
His Facial Alteration technique was clever, but the number of high-level cultivators in the Heaven Demon Sect was unending. Any elder might secretly see through his alteration using a secret method, which made it too dangerous!
Next to Ji Yang was none other than Cui Jing, who had previously crossed paths with him!
Seeing Ji Yang still examining the spiritual plants on the stone platform, Cui Jing gave a cold smile. She then took out a bronze Dan furnace from her storage bag and, using her own magical power, activated the Dan fire to prepare to refine the pill.
Other cultivators also took out their own Dan furnaces, starting their preparations for refining!
Although there was no time limit for refining this pill, the faster someone refined it, the better their techniques were, of course!
Seeing that the other cultivators had begun their work, Ji Yang was no exception. He took out Feng Yu’s Dan furnace from his storage bag and started heating it!
Though all were heating… refining pills, different cultivators employed different methods and techniques!
Some cultivators directed the Dan fire to the bottom of their Dan furnaces! Some, boasting abundant magical power, forcefully placed their entire Dan furnace into the Dan fire to bake it!
Others placed the Dan fire inside their Dan furnaces!
Even though it was just the preliminary preparation work, the varying techniques demonstrated the different realms of the cultivators present.
The original Feng Yu was only at the Early Stage of Yuan Ying, so Ji Yang did not feel the need to stand out in this aspect, especially with Elder Guan present among them.
Although Elder Guan was not focused on watching at the moment, Ji Yang felt it was still necessary to be cautious.
The minimum realm of the cultivators present was Golden Core Stage because only at this stage could one control their own Dan fire for alchemy.
Those who had not reached this realm found it difficult to refine high-level pills.
However, Golden Core Stage cultivators represented only a small portion, while more were Nascent Soul Stage cultivators!
Nascent Soul Stage cultivators had transformed their Dan into an infant, and to be precise, it was no longer called Dan fire, but rather infant fire. The effects of the latter were naturally better!
Most of the cultivators present were also Nascent Soul Stage cultivators.
In addition, Ji Yang spotted two older Spirit Transformation Stage cultivators!
These two had skilled techniques, clearly seasoned Alchemists, and not to be underestimated!
However, Ji Yang did not pay much attention to them!
His purpose for coming here was not to refine pills but to conceal his identity and hide for a while.
Of course, since he was already here, Ji Yang didn’t mind showcasing his alchemy skills!
Especially since refining pills could earn him Light points.
The most crucial part was that these spiritual plants were free!
If he didn’t take advantage of the Heaven Demon Sect, Ji Yang would feel uncomfortable, even though he still had plenty of best Demon Spirit Ore in his Heaven’s Secret Pearl.
But Ji Yang believed that he had earned these best Demon Spirit Ores through his own efforts, which did not count as taking advantage!
While Ji Yang was competing with a group of Alchemists, another figure emerged in Heaven Demon City.
This figure wore a veil, and upon entering Heaven Demon City, took out a compass-like magical tool!
This person was Ren Yuning, who had left the Heaven Demon Sect!
Having regained her confidence, Ren Yuning had set off quickly with her new magical treasures and storage ring!
Before this, she received news that Ji Yang was still hidden within Heaven Demon City and had not been discovered!
However, just because others hadn’t found him did not mean she couldn’t!
Did Ji Yang think her belongings were so easy to obtain?
Ren Yuning manipulated the compass with her hands, and the needle spun constantly.
After a moment, the spinning needle slowly stopped and pointed toward a direction in Heaven Demon City!
A cold smile appeared on Ren Yuning’s face as she quickly headed in the direction indicated by the needle!
She had to capture Ji Yang herself and conduct severe interrogations, proving her own strength while also taking revenge for the earlier threats!
Following the direction of the needle, Ren Yuning soon arrived outside the competition venue!
Feeling the array outside the courtyard, Ren Yuning furrowed her brow!
With her strength, she could not force her way in!
But as long as she found the right place, she was not worried about him escaping.
In the next moment, Ren Yuning sent out a Transmission, and soon after, several cultivators from the Heaven Demon Sect arrived in response to the call.
Upon learning that this was the alchemy competition venue of her Heaven Demon Sect, Ren Yuning showed a hint of surprise on her face and immediately inquired of the approaching cultivators:
“Where is Elder Guan?”
“Elder Guan seems to be inside hosting the competition!”
Hearing this, Ren Yuning looked a bit puzzled! But she did not ask further; she would find out after the competition was over!
Inside the courtyard, the alchemy competition was proceeding vigorously!
Some cultivators had already begun placing various spiritual plants into their Dan furnaces!
However, during the alchemy process, many cultivators struggled to control the fire and the potency of the spiritual plants, leading to situations of Exploding Furnaces, resulting in failed alchemy!
Those cultivators with Exploding Furnaces were quickly reprimanded off the stage by the Heaven Demon Sect cultivators after their failures!
At this time, Ji Yang had completed heating his furnace and began placing various spiritual plants into it in the order suggested by the middle-aged man!
Although he did not showcase the characteristics of Techniques within the Dan fire or demonstrate any strength above the Early Stage of Yuan Ying, his foundation was solid! As a result, the spiritual plants in Ji Yang’s Dan furnace melted rapidly!
In fact, he even caught up to Cui Jing’s alchemy rhythm!
This unusual situation made Cui Jing glance over twice!
However, Cui Jing did not worry too much; these were merely basic skills, and the true difficulty of this pill lay in the subsequent pill-forming process!
