CHAPTER 309: CHAPTER 309: SHOCKING THE ENTIRE FIELD _1

Qin Feiyang observed for a while.

Although this person was supremely arrogant, his Alchemy technique was indeed quite good. He made no superfluous movements, nor did he pause at any point; every step was executed perfectly. He certainly had the capital to be arrogant.

His gaze shifted to the Pill Furnace. He wouldn’t have known if he hadn’t looked, but one glance shocked him.

The Pill Furnace was entirely emerald green, as if forged from a piece of peerless jade, and it emanated faint wisps of a hazy, treasured glow.

It was actually a Third Grade Pill Furnace!

Only Pill Furnaces of Third Grade and above would emit such a treasured glow. And the higher the grade of the Pill Furnace, the more brilliant the glow.

Truly befitting a disciple from a wealthy family, Qin Feiyang muttered.

In terms of Pill Furnaces, Shao Hong and Dong Cheng definitely had the advantage. No wonder they were so confident.

The entire Alchemy Room was silent.

「A hundred breaths passed.」

The Lifespan Extension Pill was finally ready.

Dong Cheng snatched it and looked down to see a blurry Elixir Pattern encircling the pill. Upon seeing the Elixir Pattern, a brilliant smile spread across his face.

The Wolf King leaned in and chuckled, "Let me take a look?"

Dong Cheng proudly opened his hand. "Want a look? Go ahead!"

The Wolf King exclaimed, "Amazing! It actually has an Elixir Pattern. This is the first time I’ve seen a Top Grade Elixir."

Dong Cheng beamed even more, looked at Qin Feiyang, and said, "It’s too late for you to regret it now."

Qin Feiyang shook his head. "I didn’t expect Senior Brother Dong Cheng to be so proficient in Alchemy. To be honest, I do regret it a bit."

"Regretting it now?"

"You’re adorably naive."

Those six young men and women, who possessed Ninth-Level spiritual power, glanced contemptuously at Qin Feiyang before gathering around Dong Cheng, showering him with compliments and flattery.

"Heh!" The Wolf King grinned slyly, moved closer to Qin Feiyang, and sent a voice transmission, "Give him an inch and he takes a mile, huh?"

Qin Feiyang smiled but said nothing.

At that very moment, Shao Hong ran into the Alchemy Room, panting. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he looked at Dong Cheng and asked, "Is it done?"

Dong Cheng nodded and smiled. "Of course. Actually, there’s no need for you to refine one anymore."

"Why do you say that?" Shao Hong was puzzled.

Dong Cheng explained, "After seeing the Lifespan Extension Pill I refined, Qin Feiyang has started to regret challenging us."

"Haha..." Shao Hong burst out laughing. He turned to Qin Feiyang and said tauntingly, "If you knew this would happen, why did you bother in the first place? Just get ready to kneel and call me grandpa!"

"Shao Hong, Dong Cheng, congratulations on becoming grandpas so soon," one of the six youths said with a laugh.

"But I wonder, whose grandchild is he actually?" another chimed in.

"Of course, he’s mine! Dong Cheng is just his honorary grandfather," Shao Hong declared with hearty laughter. He then walked into an alchemy station, took out a set of medicinal ingredients, and began his Alchemy.

Qin Feiyang glanced at Shao Hong, then turned to look at the six youths, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Seeing this, Lu Hong and the Wolf King exchanged a look, a hint of schadenfreude in their eyes. They knew Qin Feiyang too well. Whenever he had that expression, it meant he had developed the intent to kill.

One could only imagine how miserable the fate of these six would be.

「A hundred breaths passed.」

The Lifespan Extension Pill refined by Shao Hong was also finally ready, bearing a faint Elixir Pattern. He displayed immense confidence. Grabbing the elixir without even looking at it, he turned to Qin Feiyang and said, "Your turn."

Qin Feiyang smiled and walked over to the Pill Furnace. However, he didn’t immediately take out his medicinal ingredients; instead, he lowered his head and began to ponder.

Shao Hong teased, "Don’t have any ingredients? Need me to lend you some?"

Little did he know that Qin Feiyang was actually contemplating how to lower the quality of the elixir.

That’s right! Lower the quality!

If he truly produced an elixir with two Elixir Patterns, it would undoubtedly cause a massive uproar in the Spirit State.

At that time, many people would flock to curry favor with him, but just as many, if not more, would seek to harm him.

In short, he couldn’t afford to be too high-profile.

Dong Cheng urged, "Hurry up, don’t waste time. If you really can’t do it, just admit defeat."

Might as well use the Netherworld Demon Flame, Qin Feiyang mumbled to himself. Then, looking at Shao Hong, he said, "Could you please take your Pill Furnace away?"

"Huh?" Shao Hong was slightly taken aback and said in a strange tone, "You should know this is a Third Grade Pill Furnace. You’re getting a great deal here; you should be thanking me."

Qin Feiyang wasted no more words, directly lifting the Pill Furnace and placing it on the ground. Then, with a wave of his hand and a CLANG, a bronze Pill Furnace appeared.

"Huh?!" Shao Hong and the others were stunned.

They had all initially thought Qin Feiyang might possess a Pill Furnace of an even higher grade than Third Grade. But upon closer inspection, it was merely a Second Grade Pill Furnace.

Doesn’t he know that the higher the grade of the Pill Furnace, the better the quality of the refined elixir? they wondered.

Dong Cheng whispered, "He ignores a readily available Third Grade Pill Furnace and insists on using a Second Grade one. If his mind is sound, then he definitely knows nothing about Alchemy."

Shao Hong sneered, "Isn’t that even better for us?"

The six youths also had smirks playing on their lips. Even the two middle-aged men couldn’t help but frown.

Is this new Disciple genuinely foolish, or is he just pretending?

The real show is about to begin, the Wolf King and Lu Hong both mused.

Suddenly, with a wave of Qin Feiyang’s hand, the Netherworld Demon Flame appeared.

"Huh?"

"He actually has his own Alchemy Flame?"

"How is that possible?"

Upon seeing the Netherworld Demon Flame, tumultuous shockwaves surged through the hearts of Shao Hong and the others. Alchemy Flames were incredibly rare. Even a First-Rank Alchemy Flame was almost impossible to find in the outside world. Because, any Alchemy Flame that manifested in the Spirit State would be immediately seized by the Holy Temple. Moreover, it had been many years since there was any news of an Alchemy Flame manifesting.

Yet this new Disciple actually controls a type of Alchemy Flame? This is too astonishing!

Even the two middle-aged men found it incredible.

Not only does he have a Pill Furnace, but he also possesses his own Alchemy Flame. Is this young man truly a novice? they began to doubt.

Dong Cheng’s expression became somewhat flustered.

"Don’t panic," Shao Hong whispered. "So what if he has an Alchemy Flame? The Elixir Formula for the Lifespan Extension Pill is possessed only by the Holy Temple. He’s a new Disciple who hasn’t even been to the Resource Hall. He definitely doesn’t know how to refine it."

Dong Cheng said, "But he watched our entire Alchemy process earlier."

Shao Hong cursed in a low voice, "Are you brainless? Have you ever seen anyone master the steps and methods of Alchemy just by watching a few times?"

"That’s true." Dong Cheng nodded, his suspended heart finally settling. Without the Elixir Formula, everything is futile.

However, they would never have imagined in their wildest dreams that Qin Feiyang possessed an Elixir Scripture containing various Elixir Formulas. To him, an Elixir Formula was no obstacle at all.

「It all happened in an instant!」

Qin Feiyang took out the medicinal ingredients one by one. His spiritual power surged, sweeping up one herb and placing it into the bronze Pill Furnace to begin refining its Spiritual Body.

"Wait!"

"His technique is so practiced!"

When an expert made a move, their skill was immediately apparent. Everyone present, aside from the Wolf King and Lu Hong, was a capable Alchemist. The moment they saw Qin Feiyang place the ingredients into the Pill Furnace, they knew he not only understood Alchemy but was also a highly experienced Alchemist.

"No!" Shao Hong’s hands clenched into fists, his eyes fixed on the Pill Furnace. Even if he knows Alchemy, he can’t possibly refine the Lifespan Extension Pill!

One herb.

Two herbs.

Three herbs.

Four herbs.

Five herbs!

One herb after another was tossed into the Pill Furnace, transforming into Spiritual Liquid.

In less than thirty breaths, all the Spiritual Liquid had been extracted.

"Impossible!"

"This must be a dream!"

"He only arrived at the Holy Temple today! How could he possibly know the method to refine the Lifespan Extension Pill?" Shao Hong’s eyes were bloodshot.

The speed at which he refined Spiritual Liquid was actually twice as fast as theirs!

What did this mean? It meant that this Qin Feiyang’s Alchemy skills were even more profound than theirs!

At this moment, the six young men and women, as well as the two middle-aged men, were utterly dumbfounded. The entire process was executed flawlessly, every action flowing smoothly into the next. Such skillful technique left them far behind.

"What do we do? We might actually lose!" Dong Cheng whispered, his voice trembling.

"Don’t panic! He’s only using a Second Grade Pill Furnace," Shao Hong gritted out, enunciating each word. "Even if he can refine the Lifespan Extension Pill, he absolutely cannot produce a Top Grade Lifespan Extension Pill!"

At this moment, the entire Alchemy Room fell into a deathly silence. Everyone unconsciously held their breath, their heartbeats seeming to quiet.

Precisely fifty breaths later, brilliant emerald light burst forth from within the Pill Furnace.

Qin Feiyang waved his hand.

SWOOSH!

A thoroughly emerald-green elixir flew out from the bronze Pill Furnace. He caught it in his palm and put away the Netherworld Demon Flame and the bronze Pill Furnace.

The gazes of Shao Hong, Dong Cheng, and the others instantly locked onto his hand holding the elixir.

"HOO!" Qin Feiyang let out a long breath, looked at Shao Hong and Dong Cheng, and said with a slight smile, "Want to know something?"

"What?" the two asked, puzzled.

"Actually, in my eyes, you’re just a couple of clowns."

"All that nonsense I said earlier? I was purely toying with you."

"You didn’t seriously think I was a fool, did you?" Qin Feiyang’s lips curled into a deep, mocking smile that he didn’t bother to hide.

Shao Hong and Dong Cheng’s faces instantly darkened. So, this bastard had been playing them for fools all along!

"Honestly," Qin Feiyang continued, "I really don’t know where you found the courage to ask me to be your little follower."

"And I especially don’t understand how you dared to boast that your Alchemy experience was greater than mine."

"I was also very puzzled. What’s so great about an almost invisible Elixir Pattern that’s worth showing off?"

"Shouldn’t a Top Grade Elixir look like this?"

As he finished speaking, Qin Feiyang grinned and opened his tightly clenched hand, revealing the Lifespan Extension Pill for all to see.

In an instant, the air and time in the room seemed to freeze.

Aside from the Wolf King and Lu Hong, everyone’s gaze was fixated on the elixir in Qin Feiyang’s palm.

That brilliantly dazzling Elixir Pattern was like a Thunder Shock, striking hard in their minds. Overwhelming shock surged through their hearts!

Yes! This was a true Top Grade Elixir!

Only an Alchemist who could refine an Elixir Pattern like this deserved to be called a Top Grade Alchemist.

Seeing the Lifespan Extension Pill, Shao Hong and Dong Cheng flushed crimson with humiliation, a deep sense of shame welling up inside them.

Only now did they realize how childish and absurd their previous actions had been! It was simply a huge joke! In front of this man, they weren’t even qualified to carry his shoes!

This was the disparity!
