Zhi Dazun frowned deeply. He looked at Zhi Wei questioningly, seeking his confirmation.
Zhi Wei said further. "And it's the best graded one. Here, take a look at it."
He took a wooden box out and opened it, revealing a crystal clear pill to everyone.
Zhi Dazun and the young woman were startled as they could see the pill had been refined recently, and it was the best-graded one, as Zhi Wei said.
Meanwhile, Qin Mei glanced at Yun Lintian in surprise. She didn't expect that the one who refined this pill was him. No wonder her young miss wanted to see him personally and let her protect him.
"Moreover," Zhi Wei continued. "The technique Vice President Lin used is highly profound and effective. It's much better than our Nine Revolutions Refinement Technique that we are using."
Zhi Dazun picked the box up and carefully examined the pill. He could see the pill patterns were exquisite and neat, without any flaws. It could be described as perfect.
He put the box down and looked at Yun Lintian. "I'm sorry for looking down on you."
At this moment, Zhi Dazun didn't intend to recruit Ning Yue anymore. Even if the association had more resources than Yun Lintian, what could they teach her? Yun Lintian's technique was obviously better than theirs.
Yun Lintian had also calmed down. He cupped his fists and said. "My apologies. I couldn't control my emotion well."
It wasn't that Yun Lintian hated being looked down on, but he didn't like anyone to poach his people against their will. Ning Yue clearly stated her intention, yet Zhi Dazun didn't give up but also tried to look down on him. It was normal for him to get angry.
Moreover, he was fully aware of Zhi Dazun's realm. Because Qin Mei was here, they dared to confront Zhi Dazun openly. It could be said he wasn't entirely reckless.
Zhi Dazun placed a silver storage ring on the table and said. "There are the ingredients of the Thousand Calamities Pill inside. However, you only have one shot. After all, the ingredients are extremely rare."
"Initially, I planned to test your ability and determine whether I should give you a chance. But I have no objection now since you could refine a Divine King rank pill to this level."
Yun Lintian took the silver ring and briefly looked at the content inside before saying. "I need a room that could withstand the following pill tribulation as well as the best cauldron."
"What about the fire?" Zhi Dazun asked.
"I can do it myself." Yun Lintian responded calmly.
Zhi Dazun nodded and asked. "Can we take a look?"
"No problem." Yun Lintian didn't care about it.
"Shi'er, you must learn to restrain your emotion." Zhi Dazun turned to the young woman.
"I know, master." The young woman, Sun Shi, said with a serious expression but didn't express her apology to Yun Lintian as she didn't think she was in the wrong.
"I've already prepared everything." Zhi Wei said. "Please follow me."
Yun Lintian nodded and turned to Ning Yue. "Let's go. I will teach you another technique today."
"Mhm!" Ning Yue nodded firmly and followed Yun Lintian out.
Soon, Zhi Wei Brought Yun Lintian's group into a red-tiled room with a massive stove at the center. A huge silver cauldron patterned with a phoenix shape was placed nearby. With a glance, Yun Lintian could feel a terrifying fire energy stab into his body.
"This room is made of the ten-thousand-year volcanic stone. It can help increase the temperature of the flame during the refining process. As for the cauldron, it is one of the best cauldrons we have. We called it the Rising Phoenix Cauldron." Zhi Wei explained.
"The cauldron is said to have been made from ashes of the Divine Phoenix. It is very difficult to control it. If Vice President Lin couldn't handle it, I could change a new one for you. However, the quality will be inferior to this."
Yun Lintian glanced around the room briefly and said to Qin Mei. "Please protect her."
"Good luck." Qin Mei responded and stood beside Ning Yue.
Yun Lintian didn't say anything further. He walked up to the cauldron and touched it gently.
Scree—
All of a sudden, a phoenix cry suddenly resonated throughout the room, causing the expressions of Qin Mei and the others to change. The cauldron started to shake violently, trying to escape from Yun Lintian.
Yun Lintian quickly injected his divine energy into the cauldron, trying to gain complete control over it. It was as if the cauldron had detected the Divine Phoenix bloodline in Yun Lintian's body; it suddenly stopped struggling and obediently let Yun Lintian touch it.
Zhi Wei and Zhi Dazun glanced at each other in shock. The Rising Phoenix Cauldron was known for its rebellious nature among everyone in the association. Asides from the two God Emperors, only Supreme Elder Zhi Yu could handle it.
How could Yun Lintian manage to calm it down in a second?
Naturally, they didn't think Yun Lintian possessed the Divine Phoenix bloodline. After all, the Divine Phoenix Clan had long disappeared.
Yun Lintian nodded in satisfaction. This cauldron was definitely the best among the best. It should be made of a portion of the Divine Phoenix's ashes, as Zhi Wei said. Otherwise, it wouldn't resonate with the Divine Phoenix bloodline in his body.
Yun Lintian carefully moved the cauldron onto the stove and simply lit a fire. He carefully raised the flame's temperature and let it warm the cauldron while taking the ingredients out.
"Come here. Help me process these ingredients." Yun Lintian glanced at Ning Yue and said.
Ning Yue quickly arrived by Yun Lintian's side and carefully handled the ingredients. To everyone's surprise, Ning Yue seemed to know how to deal with the ingredients as if she had done it countless times before.
"Her aptitude is definitely the best." Zhi Dazun said in regret. In his opinion, Ning Yue would definitely become a prominent figure in the alchemy field as long as giving her time.
Looked like he had just missed the chance of becoming a great figure's master.
On the side, Sun Shi looked at Ning Yue solemnly. She now understood why her master was adamant about accepting Ning Yue as his disciple. Instead of being jealous, Sun Shi was full of fighting spirit.
"Thank you. You can return to Sister Qin's side first. It's too dangerous here." Yun Lintian looked at the processed ingredients and said to Ning Yue with a smile.
"Mhm." Ning Yue responded softly and reluctantly went back to Qin Mei's side.
