“Jiang Hao?”
The moment that uncertain voice sounded, everyone looked up in surprise, their gazes inevitably falling on Tang Yan.
Ye Tiannan’s heart skipped a beat, thinking, “This isn’t good.”
“Yan’Er, do you know this esteemed sir?”
Following the voice, Tang Xiao immediately looked at Tang Yan.
For a moment, Bai Wufeng, Gu Qingyan, Gai He, Wu Jing, and the others also turned their attention to Tang Yan.
Up until this very moment, all they knew was that the youth before them was named Jiang Hao.
Beyond that, they knew absolutely nothing.
Confirming the youth’s identity, Tang Yan immediately spoke up.
“Grandpa, he is no esteemed sir.
He is just a piece of trash who hasn’t even awakened a martial spirit!
Rumor has it that he couldn’t handle the blow of his failure and turned into a fool overnight.”
“Trash without a martial spirit?
A fool?” As soon as those words were spoken, everyone froze in shock.
“Yan’Er, what exactly is going on?
Explain it clearly,” Tang Xiao asked with a frown.
It turned out that Tang Yan had also participated in the martial spirit awakening ceremony three years ago.
While others might not have a deep impression of Jiang Hao, Tang Yan, as a fellow Awakened, remembered it vividly.
After hearing Tang Yan’s explanation, everyone was stunned.
“Brother Bai, is this the Alchemy Master you claimed could refine the Nine Revolutions Life Extension Pill?
Don’t you think you should explain?” Tang Xiao’s aged face turned completely cold.
Bai Wufeng was equally astonished.
He exchanged a glance with Gu Qingyan, whose beautiful eyes were filled with the same bewilderment.
Hearing this, Bai Wufeng looked thoroughly embarrassed and couldn’t help but turn to Jiang Hao.
“Jiang Xiaoyou, is there some sort of misunderstanding here?”
If he hadn’t awakened a martial spirit, it would be impossible for him to sense the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and cultivate Spiritual Power.
Naturally, it would also be impossible for him to refine those three Fusion Pills.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at Jiang Hao.
The latter, however, maintained a calm expression and said lightly, “Young Master Tang is correct.
I am indeed the person from three years ago.”
After speaking, Jiang Hao offered a wry smile and bowed slightly to Tang Xiao.
“This junior, Jiang Hao, greets Mr.
Tang.”
“Hmph!” Faced with Jiang Hao’s bow, Tang Xiao only scoffed coldly.
He then glared fixedly at Bai Wufeng.
“Brother Bai, what is the meaning of this?
You know my days are numbered and that leaving seclusion drains my vitality.
Yet, you brought a piece of trash to pose as an Alchemy Master.
Are you worried that I’m not dying fast enough?”
“This…” Bai Wufeng felt a massive headache coming on.
If the youth before him truly was a piece of trash, then this situation would indeed cast him in an incredibly unrighteous and dishonorable light.
Fortunately, at that moment, Ye Tiannan stepped forward.
“Seniors, esteemed guests, and Mr.
Tang.
It is true that my family’s Hao’Er didn’t awaken his martial spirit three years ago, but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t had opportunities over the past three years.
“Currently, not only does Hao’Er have a martial spirit, but he also personally refined these three pills without a doubt.”
Hearing Ye Tiannan’s words, Bai Wufeng couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, his confidence immediately restored.
“Mr.
Tang, if we want to know whether he has the ability, why not just have Jiang Xiaoyou refine a pill right in front of us?
You might not trust a young man, but surely you trust me, the Pavilion Master?”
Tang Xiao’s brows furrowed tightly, but he didn’t say anything more.
After all, what else could he say when the Pavilion Master of the Divine Pill Pavilion had put it like that?
Seeing his silence, Bai Wufeng turned to Jiang Hao.
“Jiang Xiaoyou, please begin.”
Jiang Hao nodded.
Right now, words were useless; only true strength could shut people up.
It had been this way since ancient times.
With this thought in mind, Jiang Hao didn’t hesitate any longer.
He immediately took out the Alchemy Furnace from the Spatial Ring left to him by Father Jiang, along with a large amount of Spirit Medicine brought from the Ye Family’s storehouse.
However, watching this scene, Tang Yan couldn’t help but sneer.
“Pavilion Master Bai, you don’t actually believe he can refine some Nine Revolutions Life Extension Pill, do you?
This is complete fantasy.”
Tang Yan didn’t believe it.
Even if that piece of trash possessed a martial spirit now, it couldn’t possibly be of a high grade.
After all, he had long passed the optimal age for awakening.
Jiang Hao remained silent, simply taking out that dilapidated large medicine pot.
The moment the medicine pot appeared in everyone’s line of sight, all the Pill Masters of the Divine Pill Pavilion, including Bai Wufeng, were slightly taken aback, their eyes filled with confusion.
“Jiang Xiaoyou, is this your…
Pill Furnace?”
“Xiaoyou, could it be that those three pills were refined using this pot…
this Pill Furnace?”
The moment they saw the Pill Furnace Jiang Hao was using, all the Pill Masters were utterly bewildered.
Even Gu Qingyan’s beautiful eyes rippled with surprise.
How could this be called a Pill Furnace?
It was clearly just a large medicine pot that had been forcefully modified into a crude Alchemy Furnace using runes.
Hearing their questions, Jiang Hao gave a helpless smile, evidently silently agreeing.
However, this smile left the people of the Divine Pill Pavilion utterly shocked.
To be able to achieve a Herbal Condensation Pill using this kind of Pill Furnace only further proved the terrifying extent of his talent in the Alchemy Dao.
It was worth noting that while the peerless genius of Miaodan Square that Gu Qingyan had mentioned also achieved this step, the other party had used a top-quality Pill Furnace.
The quality of the Pill Furnace itself greatly increased the probability of successfully forming a pill.
For a moment, Gu Qingyan’s delicate body trembled slightly as she subconsciously realized something.
Tang Yan, who knew nothing about the Alchemy Dao, froze.
When he saw Jiang Hao pull out a garbage medicine pot, his face revealed a trace of disdain, contempt, and endless disappointment.
Jiang Hao completely ignored all of this.
Every time he entered his Alchemy state, he would automatically shut out all outside interference.
“Rise!”
BOOM!!!
With a soft shout from Jiang Hao, the temperature in the entire grand hall soared as the Fire of Heaven and Earth engulfed the medicine pot.
However, this time, Jiang Hao didn’t choose ordinary herbs, but the Spirit Medicine provided from the Ye Family’s storehouse.
Time slowly passed.
Tang Xiao, wearing an expression of utter despair, had even closed his eyes.
He couldn’t be bothered to pay attention.
He absolutely refused to believe that a wet-behind-the-ears youth could refine any exquisite pill.
But Gai He and the others had bright, piercing eyes, staring fixedly at Jiang Hao’s Alchemy process, terrified of missing even a single detail.
As time went on, Jiang Hao controlled the heat while occasionally tossing in stalks of Spirit Medicine.
Whether it was Jiang Hao’s control of the heat or the timing with which he added the Spirit Medicine, it left Bai Wufeng and the others watching in absolute disbelief.
Especially when Jiang Hao formed complex and obscure Pill Patterns with his hands, the expressions of all the Alchemy Masters changed drastically.
“The most crucial aspects of Alchemy are heat control, the timing of adding ingredients, and the Pill Patterns that promote a Solidification Pill.
Has he actually pushed all of these to their absolute limits?”
“Are these Pill Patterns?
How is this possible?”
Time slipped away in astonishment.
In the blink of an eye, several hours passed.
It was obvious that the intensity of the pill Jiang Hao was refining this time was far higher than that of the Fusion Pill.
Seeing the youth acting so competently, Tang Xiao and his grandson couldn’t help but start paying attention.
Until a certain moment arrived.
“ROAR!”
The medicine pot trembled violently as a loud roar echoed through the grand hall.
Streaks of phantom lions shot out from within the pot, charging in all directions and vanishing into the void in the blink of an eye.
This scene instantly stunned Bai Wufeng and the rest.
“A Solidification Pill phenomenon?
This…
this is a Solidification Pill phenomenon,” Wu Jing gasped heavily, his eyes filled with horror.
Even Ye Tiannan’s eyes went wide.
Tang Yan, only half understanding, asked, “What is a Solidification Pill phenomenon?”
Bai Wufeng explained subconsciously, his breathing ragged.
“It is the pill phenomenon that appears before the birth of a top-grade pill.
It is the manifestation of utilizing Spirit Medicine to its absolute limit.”
“A top-grade pill?” Hearing this, Tang Yan sucked in a breath of cold air, his eyes filled with extreme horror.
Even if he knew nothing about the Alchemy Dao, he knew exactly what a top-grade pill represented.
Just as everyone was turning pale with shock, Jiang Hao let out an angry shout.
“Open!”
The medicine pot burst open instantly, and a series of lion roars shattered the void.
Countless phantom lions shot out from the mouth of the pot, as if trying to flee this realm.
In a flash, the entire grand hall was densely covered with phantom lions.
They scurried everywhere, too numerous to count.
The very next moment.
“Lock!”
Jiang Hao roared again, striking out Alchemy Dao runes one after another.
He locked down all the phantoms, forcefully dragging them back into the medicine pot and fusing them together with the pills.
At the same time, five Spirit Pills slowly rose, hovering above the mouth of the medicine pot, bursting with pulses of spiritual light.
Looking at those five Spirit Pills, everyone felt as if their eyes were going to split open from staring.
“Top-grade pills!
The Tier One Seventh Grade Opening Pill and the Lion’s Roar Pill!” Bai Wufeng said, his eyes shining brightly.
The true value of a Top-grade Spirit Pill was immense.
Even as a Tier Two Fifth Grade Alchemy Master, he wouldn’t necessarily be able to refine a tier one seventh grade Top-grade Spirit Pill.
Gu Qingyan’s delicate body visibly trembled, unable to hide her excitement.
She even couldn’t help but take a step forward and exclaim, “A peerless genius!
He truly is a peerless genius of the Alchemy Dao!”
Beside them, Tang Xiao’s eyes were filled with shock.
He walked quickly over to the five Creation Pills and subconsciously reached out to take one for a closer look.
As soon as the pill landed in his hand, an angry lion’s roar echoed from within, striking directly at his heart.
Tang Xiao’s entire body jolted.
Inside the Spirit Pill, there seemed to be a highly spiritual phantom of a lion standing atop a snowy mountain peak, looking down upon the world.
Every time he touched this Spirit Pill, he could feel that lion’s roar.
For a time, everyone was petrified on the spot, endless thunderclaps surging in their eyes.
When the crowd looked at Jiang Hao again, their gazes had undergone an earth-shattering transformation.
