Chapter 2438: Chapter 2442: What Does Jiang Chen Want to Do?
"Ancient Alchemy Art!?"
"Wow, I remember now, I’ve seen this in an ancient text in the Scripture Pavilion. It truly is a profound Ancient Alchemy Art!"
"Damn! Who is he? How could he know such alchemy!?"
The crowd exclaimed again, their eyes filled with astonishment.
"Ancient Alchemy Art?"
Elder Zhu showed a hint of surprise in his eyes as he turned to look at Hu Yiqiu. Just as he was about to ask, he noticed Hu Yiqiu’s growing irritability, and he frowned slightly, closing his mouth.
It seems that little drunkard indeed values this young man highly, but this young man’s talent is worth valuing!
"This child is extraordinary. If cultivated, he can certainly reach our level, perhaps even surpass it!"
Taiyuan Chancellor’s eyes showed a touch of delight. He had already learned a great deal about Jiang Chen, and upon witnessing such performance, he immediately made a confident evaluation.
Su Ruoyun looked at Taiyuan Chancellor in astonishment. What Taiyuan Chancellor meant by "our level" didn’t include her and himself. There was still a gap between her and Taiyuan Chancellor.
Her evaluation of Jiang Chen was that of a Saint’s potential, but she hadn’t expected Taiyuan Chancellor to rate him even higher!
"Hmph!"
A cold snort echoed. Taiyuan Chancellor seemed to sense something, frowning slightly as he turned to look at Yan Hu.
At that moment, Yan Hu was watching Taiyuan Chancellor with a mocking look. When he sensed Taiyuan Chancellor’s gaze, Yan Hu mouthed two words.
Too late? What does it mean?
Reading Yan Hu’s lips, Taiyuan Chancellor froze for a moment, then suddenly realized something, looking at Jiang Chen with shock.
Having controlled Sang Zhenye’s Dao Seed, Jiang Chen opened his eyes, ignoring the surrounding commotion. With a mere thought, the Spiritual Liquid in front of him flew into the Alchemy Cauldron.
Buzz!
A refined Divine Sense emanated from Jiang Chen’s forehead, penetrating the Alchemy Cauldron.
"Rise!"
Jiang Chen shouted lowly, waving a palm at the fire beneath the Alchemy Cauldron. A Power of the Great Dao from the Fire Path shot from his palm, merging into the Spiritual Fire, controlling the strength of the flame.
While controlling the flame’s intensity, Jiang Chen’s Divine Sense quickly adjusted the distribution of the Spiritual Liquid within the Alchemy Cauldron, making them heat and fuse as he wished.
Buzzing sounds filled the air, mysterious auras appeared, all directed toward the Alchemy Cauldron as the Pill Masters eagerly watched Jiang Chen’s alchemical process.
"What are you doing? Do you want to ruin this batch of pills?"
Jiang Chen suddenly shouted.
"Scram!"
Hu Yiqiu immediately snorted, his aura suddenly exploding.
Bang, bang, bang!
Sounds of air exploding erupted, as all the Divine Senses released by the Pill Masters were smashed by Hu Yiqiu.
"Bastard!"
Elder Zhu’s face darkened, a powerful aura pressing harshly on the Pill Masters.
Thud, thud!
The Pill Masters’ faces paled, including Meng Changde, unable to withstand the enormous pressure, their bodies slumping and kneeling on the ground.
Crack, crack!
The floor beneath them shattered, and the entire inner circle of the great hall turned into powder, with cracks extending beyond the hall.
"What do you want? Trying to spy on my grand-disciple’s alchemical inheritance?"
Elder Zhu coldly scanned the Pill Masters, eyes filled with icy killing intent.
To spy on someone’s inheritance is akin to prying into another’s Sea of Consciousness.
"Elder Zhu, we were wrong!"
"Elder Zhu, apologies, we got carried away and didn’t pay attention, we were wrong!"
"Elder Zhu, we acknowledge our mistake!"
Feeling Elder Zhu’s imposing killing intent, the Pill Masters pleaded in panic. Although they knew Elder Zhu wouldn’t actually kill them, his status was not ordinary. Offending him would bring endless trouble, and they had no vice-chancellor status to protect them.
"Elder Zhu, they were just curious, let it go."
Taiyuan Chancellor glanced at the Pill Masters, speaking softly.
"Hmph!"
Elder Zhu snorted coldly, retracting his aura and restraining his killing intent.
The Pill Masters hurriedly stood up, no longer daring to release their Divine Senses.
Yan Hu glanced at the Pill Masters, then at Taiyuan Chancellor, smiling mockingly, "What a let go."
"Yan Hu, if you have something to say, say it directly."
Taiyuan Chancellor frowned, speaking in a deep voice.
Yan Hu’s repeated mocking looks were irritating him greatly.
"If you’re angry, Elder, you can kill me. Offending a Saint, I deserve to die!"
Yan Hu looked faintly at Taiyuan Chancellor.
The crowd was momentarily stunned, looking at Yan Hu in surprise, their hearts filled with questions. What on earth was this guy doing?
Taiyuan Chancellor also showed a trace of astonishment in his eyes.
"Elder?"
Su Ruoyun frowned slightly, recalling Jiang Chen referring to herself as Elder too!
"Not going to kill me? Then I thank the Elder for sparing me!"
Yan Hu bowed slightly to Taiyuan Chancellor, then turned back to look at Jiang Chen.
The crowd was baffled, all looking at Yan Hu in confusion.
Hu Yiqiu displayed a look of puzzlement, turning to Yan Hu and softly asking, "Yan Hu, what are you up to?"
"Elder Jiu."
Yan Hu turned to Hu Yiqiu, speaking softly, "Spying on someone’s inheritance, what kind of enmity is that?"
Taiyuan Chancellor’s brow twitched, looking at Yan Hu with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.
What did he want? Was he trying to stir up strife again?
Hu Yiqiu was momentarily stunned, his expression changing slightly. He then glanced at Jiang Chen, speaking softly, "Mortal enmity!"
"If it’s mortal enmity, why so easily let it go?"
Yan Hu pressed on.
"Yan Hu!"
Taiyuan Chancellor sternly called out, his dissatisfaction even more apparent in his eyes.
Yan Hu turned to look at Taiyuan Chancellor, cupping his hands with a bow, "May I ask, Elder, if someone spied on your Cultivation Technique inheritance, what would you do?"
The crowd was instantly startled, looking at Yan Hu as if he were a madman.
This guy’s crazy, right? To dare ask the chancellor such a question? Who would dare spy on the chancellor’s Cultivation Technique inheritance? Isn’t that courting death?
Uh...
Suddenly, everyone realized that they indeed had just been spying on someone else’s inheritance.
"What exactly are you trying to say?"
Taiyuan Chancellor seemed to guess something, his eyes showing a glimpse of helplessness as his dissatisfaction faded.
"I have nothing to say. What needs to be said, Elder should already understand!"
Yan Hu again cupped his hands, turning to look at Jiang Chen, remaining silent.
The hall fell silent, leaving only the sound of the flames burning in the Pill Furnace.
Hu Yiqiu suddenly understood something, his entire body trembling violently, his breathing growing rapid as he stared fixedly at Jiang Chen’s back, his eyes filled with regret!
"Little drunkard, what’s wrong?"
Elder Zhu noticed Hu Yiqiu’s emotional turmoil, hurriedly asking, his eyes filled with concern.
