Chapter 2253: Chapter 2257: Zhang Sanfeng’s Impending Breakthrough
"Jiang Chen is a Pill Master? And he has already reached the third rank Pill Master?!"
Outside the Elixir Medicine Pavilion, on the street, a woman dressed in martial attire asked Jian Wuheng and Yun Tao beside her with a face full of shock.
"Yes, Miss Qiu, it seems Jiang Chen has just finished refining a batch of elixirs. Let’s go inside."
Jian Wuheng nodded and stepped towards the Elixir Medicine Pavilion.
The woman followed, a look of disbelief on her face.
Inside the Elixir Medicine Pavilion.
Blazing flames were burning in the alchemy cauldron, the emerald green glow making the cauldron full of vitality.
"Teacher, don’t be so impatient."
While refining elixirs, Jiang Chen glanced at the worried-looking Sang Zhenye beside him.
At this moment, there was a broken alchemy cauldron in front of Sang Zhenye, and his Spiritual Alchemist Cauldron was being used by Jiang Chen.
A faint fragrance was wafting from Jiang Chen’s alchemy cauldron, evidently indicating the elixir was about to be formed.
From this elixir fragrance, it could be seen that the elixir’s grade in the cauldron was not low!
"Ah! There’s no choice but to accept it!"
Sang Zhenye glanced at Jiang Chen and said with a bitter smile, "This ancient fire control technique is quite peculiar, but indeed very difficult to master. I’ve gotten used to controlling flames with Spiritual Power; suddenly switching to controlling flames with Primordial Spirit Power is somewhat hard to adapt to. This month alone, more than ten cauldrons have exploded!"
If outside students heard their conversation, they would definitely be astonished, realizing the explosions in the Elixir Medicine Pavilion were not caused by Jiang Chen, but by Sang Zhenye!
"This fire control method requires a considerable level of mastery over Primordial Spirit Power. Teacher’s Primordial Spirit Power is far more concentrated and powerful than mine; thus, it’s perfectly normal to struggle with precision control initially!"
Jiang Chen chuckled as he spoke.
Sang Zhenye shook his head with a bitter smile. Of course, he understood this principle, but smelling the elixir fragrance emanating from Jiang Chen’s cauldron, he couldn’t help but sigh again.
"Ah! You little rascal, truly demoralizing. The Spiritual Alchemist Cauldron can only refine up to fourth-grade elixirs, widely recognized throughout the Void Nether Realm. Yet, you’ve somehow used it to refine a fifth-grade elixir, and it’s the most difficult to refine among fifth-grade elixirs—Congealing Primordial Elixir?"
Sang Zhenye spoke more and more helplessly: "If word got out, even Princess Chang would risk being scolded by your master to capture you to Canglan City!"
The Congealing Primordial Elixir, a fifth-grade elixir, is used to condense Primordial Spirit Power!
"Once this batch of Congealing Primordial Elixir is refined, we can also leave here. For now, this is the highest grade elixir I can refine with my current abilities!"
Jiang Chen glanced at the cauldron and said softly.
"Finally leaving, I was so confident when I first came in, thinking I could finally teach you something. Who would’ve thought that within days, it was you teaching me? Over the past six months, using that Ancient Alchemy Art, you’ve pushed my stagnant alchemy skills to fifth-grade Pill Master status. You little rascal... I surrender!"
Sang Zhenye had a face full of mixed emotions, but his eyes showed deep satisfaction and pride.
Having a student achieve such accomplishments brings immense gratification to a teacher!
"By the way!"
Sang Zhenye suddenly became serious: "Jiang Chen, you must remember, unless absolutely necessary, never expose that you can utilize Ancient Alchemy Art in front of others, or pill masters throughout the Void Nether Realm will go mad trying to capture you!"
"Teacher, I understand, I’ll be careful!"
Jiang Chen nodded lightly.
Bang Bang Bang!
The door of the Elixir Medicine Pavilion was knocked upon, and a voice called from outside: "Junior Brother, can you come out for a moment? An old acquaintance is looking for you."
Jiang Chen was slightly stunned, looked at the alchemy cauldron in front of him, and called out loudly: "Senior Brother, wait a moment, just fifteen minutes!"
Outside the Elixir Medicine Pavilion.
Yun Tao turned to Qiu Ying: "Let’s wait a bit. Judging from the aura, it seems Elder Sang is refining elixirs, and Junior Brother is observing and learning."
"Alright!"
Qiu Ying nodded, glanced at the door of the Elixir Medicine Pavilion, a complex look in her eyes.
If it weren’t for some unexpected occurrences back then, this highly talented and remarkably excellent youth might have become her fellow disciple!
Crack!
Fifteen minutes later, the door of the Elixir Medicine Pavilion opened, and Sang Zhenye and Jiang Chen walked out.
"Elder Sang!"
"Greet Elder Sang!"
The three of them, Yun Tao among them, saluted Sang Zhenye.
"Qiu Ying?"
Jiang Chen looked at Qiu Ying in surprise, a hint of doubt in his eyes.
"Young Master Jiang."
Qiu Ying smiled at Jiang Chen, yet her eyes reflected a hint of regret.
She had heard about what happened at the Mingqian Banquet. The young cultivator who was once at the Semi Divine Infant Realm has now become someone with equivalent cultivation but far superior battle prowess, a famous figure. Stories of him challenging six at once have spread throughout the Mingqian Banquet, echoing the slogan of being unmatched within the same realm throughout Mingqian Realm.
"Is Miss Qiu here to see me?"
Jiang Chen looked at Qiu Ying, slightly surprised.
"Indeed."
Qiu Ying nodded, gathered her thoughts, and said with a light smile: "Elder Zhang Sanfeng is about to undergo Shattering the Mirror tribulation; he specifically appointed me to invite Young Master Jiang to witness."
"San Feng Predecessor? He’s about to break through to the Unity Realm Stage?"
Jiang Chen’s eyes revealed a hint of joy. Zhang Sanfeng was originally from the Yuan Star, and most likely the last person besides himself to leave Yuan Star, and the one he was most familiar with. Zhang Sanfeng’s breakthrough filled him with joy for him.
"Zhang Sanfeng? Is he the Yin Yang Sword Emperor of the Heavenly Sword Sect?"
Sang Zhenye raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at Jiang Chen with meaningful eyes.
Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment, then understood the hint.
The Heavenly Sword Sect also had a Vice Sect Leader, Tang Lin, who held a grudge against him and had close ties with the Domain Lord’s Mansion!
"I’ll accompany you then!"
Sang Zhenye spoke gently, feeling a bit uneasy.
"Thank you, teacher!"
Jiang Chen nodded lightly, then turned to Yun Tao: "Senior Brother, where is master?"
"Master experienced an epiphany a few days ago and is in seclusion."
Yun Tao replied softly.
Jiang Chen paused, then gave a gentle reminder: "If master comes out and I’m not back yet, please inform him for me."
"Sure!"
Yun Tao nodded.
"Then let’s head out now. The opportunity for breakthrough to the Unity Realm might arise anytime; the sooner we arrive, the better."
Jiang Chen turned to Qiu Ying.
"Alright!"
Qiu Ying gave a light nod.
She was eager to return quickly as well.
Observing a strong practitioner undergo tribulation is also an opportunity for those at lower realms. After all, witnessing such tribulations isn’t common, and typically, during a cultivator’s tribulation, they choose to go to remote, uninhabited places, perhaps just bringing protectors, making it rare for sect members to witness such events.
Consequently, Qiu Ying was somewhat impatient too.
