Chapter 318: Alchemy Room at the Peak
At this moment, Deacon Gong looked at Ji Yang with great satisfaction.
Not only were his alchemy skills excellent, but he was also very humble, which was rare in the Heaven Demon Sect. He had seen too many disciples who were arrogant and full of themselves.
At first, he admired this attitude; in the demonic path, talented disciples obviously needed to show their skills.
However, after witnessing it many times, he found it somewhat impetuous.
Seeing that he could not refuse, Ji Yang could only force a slight smile.
The other disciples present, upon hearing what Deacon Gong said, began to cast envious glances toward Ji Yang at the center.
Alchemy Peak had two peak masters, one primary and one deputy.
But the primary peak master had gone wandering long ago and had not returned, so the deputy peak master was the actual authority and currently the only master alchemist in the Heaven Demon Sect!
That Deacon Gong valued Ji Yang so highly and even personally recommended him to the deputy peak master meant that Ji Yang’s future was undoubtedly limitless.
Many disciples wanted to move closer and become familiar with him, but when they saw the several deacons nearby, they all restrained themselves.
It seemed they would have to wait. With such a talent, forming friendships early would be wise; they might have a chance to meet him again in the future, and even discussing alchemy experience with him would be excellent!
In the crowd, Deacon Song felt a sense of relief and then showed delight on his face.
His judgment had indeed been correct; anyone whom Elder Guan personally recommended was undeniably strong!
With prior connections, Deacon Song could be said to be ahead of everyone!
At this moment, he wisely chose not to disturb Ji Yang, planning to communicate later.
On the other side, Deacon Gong and several other deacons had already started discussing alchemy techniques with Ji Yang.
As Alchemists, mutual communication among peers was essential; they could gain more experience, enhance their skills, and share their views to improve their alchemy!
Only Alchemists at the same level typically exchanged ideas, and clearly, the deacons had already regarded Ji Yang as an Alchemist of equal standing.
From the eager looks in the deacons’ eyes, it was evident that they wanted to learn more from Ji Yang.
However, the professional alchemical terminology and their focused gaze made Ji Yang feel somewhat overwhelmed.
What did he rely on for alchemy? It was all due to his talent and unique furnace skills!
Moreover, he only had knowledge of the Dropping Dew Pill among high-level pills; he was clueless about other high-level pills!
Thus, the discussions he was hearing felt like interpretations of a foreign language to him.
As the conversation progressed, the deacons began sharing the problems they encountered while refining pills, seeking Ji Yang’s opinion:
"I recently obtained a formula that includes the profound cold spiritual plant, the Xuanming Grass, as well as the blazing hot spiritual plant, the Flame Flower. I thought they could balance each other out, but no matter how I refined them, the results always ended in failure, and I often faced furnace explosions. I don’t know why this keeps happening."
"Feng Yu, do you have any insights on this?"
Listening to the earnest inquiry from the deacon, Ji Yang felt confused.
How would he know about this? Water and fire were incompatible; how could they be refined together?
But after a moment, Ji Yang smiled and said,
"It might be a timing issue. If you refine it at midnight or noon, you might be successful!"
"Why is that?"
The deacons all looked surprised and asked.
Ji Yang answered again,
"During midnight and noon, the yin and yang energies alternate, which matches the principles of alchemy. The chance of success might be higher!"
"That makes sense!"
One deacon slapped his thigh, his face showing understanding, and he looked at Ji Yang with a new appreciation.
The others nodded too, clearly recognizing that Ji Yang truly had real talent and knowledge.
Meanwhile, Ji Yang maintained a calm expression, but in his mind, he heard the voice of a middle-aged man:
"Hmph, I’ve seen more recipes than they have had meals; this kid must have only taken half!"
"Thank you, senior."
Ji Yang silently expressed his gratitude.
Although he did not know much, others did!
Just as they were about to continue their discussion, the messaging talisman at Deacon Gong’s waist suddenly lit up.
After listening to the message, Deacon Gong turned to Ji Yang and said,
"The Deputy Peak Master just sent a message. He’s busy and probably can’t come, but he has already made arrangements!"
"From now on, Feng Yu, you don’t have to stay in the Alchemy Room in the mountain’s interior. There is a new Alchemy Room at the mountain top; come with me to take a look!"
Upon hearing Deacon Gong’s words, Ji Yang felt pleased.
As long as he had better treatment, not seeing the Deputy Peak Master was fine.
Clearly, the Alchemy Room at the top of the peak was better, and he definitely would not refuse.
The other disciples felt no surprise when they heard Ji Yang would be going to the top Alchemy Room, and Deacon Gong summoned a spiritual boat. They immediately headed towards the peak!
The other disciples who were left behind looked on with envy. The Alchemy Peak top housed all the high-level alchemists and was the most elite among them. Many cultivators wanted them to refine pills for them.
Ordinary disciples in Alchemy Peak did not even have the right to pass through there, and their dream was to have a place to live at the peak. Yet, a newcomer had surpassed them after decades in Alchemy Peak.
This left many feeling melancholic, but they felt powerless.
"Feng Yu, this is the Alchemy Room at the higher level of our Alchemy Peak. This room not only uses special minerals to block all outside sounds but also has top-grade ground fire assistance. It’s equipped with corresponding formations that can enhance the Dan fire, rivaling even that of a Spirit Transformation Stage cultivator!"
…
Upon arriving at the flat area at the peak, Deacon Gong and the others started introducing Ji Yang to the most lavish Alchemy Room.
The Alchemy Room here was incomparable to the one in the mountain’s interior.
The Alchemy Room in the interior was merely for refining pills, while this one resembled a finely crafted loft. Besides being for alchemy, it also served as a residence for cultivators, including a small spiritual herb garden among other facilities!
Not only that, Ji Yang noticed a unique skylight in the Alchemy Room.
When he asked about it, Deacon Gong and the others shook their heads, saying it was built to scale according to the Alchemy Rooms from Ancient Times. They also didn’t know, just treated it as a scenic view.
However, this feature would allow Ji Yang to leverage the power of the stars through the Seven Star Dan Furnace, which could increase his success rate in alchemy.
"The Deputy Peak Master said this residence will be your Alchemy Room from now on, Feng Yu!"
After the introduction, Deacon Gong smiled at Ji Yang.
"Please convey my thanks to the Deputy Peak Master!"
"Don’t mention it, junior brother. If the Deputy Peak Master has time, he will definitely come meet you. He might even personally assess you, so be prepared!"
"But with your strength, Feng Yu, I don’t think you have much to worry about in that secret assessment!" one of the others said with a laugh.
Ji Yang smiled too, but inwardly he cursed.
Why did he feel like this was a ticking bomb that he needed to watch out for?
It seemed he could not stay in the Heaven Demon Sect for long. Once he had used up all the spiritual plants here, he should return to his sect early!
