Chapter 318 - 318 318 Beidou Yankong

Chapter 318: Chapter 318 Beidou Yankong Chapter 318: Chapter 318 Beidou Yankong “Elder Beidou, please!”

The Shen Dan Master smiled faintly, inviting Beidou Yankong into the great hall.

Beidou Yankong snorted lightly, entering without any politeness, as if he could display his anger.

“My realm is clearly much higher than theirs, but why do Moyan and Chu Changkong possess such thick soul power?” Beidou Yankong wondered to himself with suspicion.

As he passed by Moyan and Chu Changkong, Elder Beidou’s face subtly changed.

“Where is the elemental poison within their bodies? Has it been removed? This is impossible!” Beidou Yankong was greatly shocked as he discovered no trace of elemental poison within the Shen Dan Master and Chu Changkong.

Beidou Yankong’s astonishment, however, did not show on his face.

Feng Wuchen and Ling Xiaoxiao were the last to enter the great hall, with him constantly observing Beidou Yankong, not showing any change in expression.

“Big brother Feng, this old coot is so arrogant. Is he of the Sixth Grade realm?” Ling Xiaoxiao asked softly.

“Fifth Grade peak,” Feng Wuchen answered softly.

In the great hall, Beidou Yankong treated the auction as if it were his own home, carelessly choosing a spot to sit down, utterly arrogant.

Even if Beidou Yankong had not stepped into the realm of a Sixth Grade Alchemist, he wasn’t far from it, and this was enough to suppress both the Shen Dan Master and Chu Changkong.

Beidou Yankong swept a glance and his gaze lingered on Feng Wuchen and Ling Xiaoxiao for a moment before he said to Chu Changkong, “President Chu, when did the auction become so casual, allowing even juniors to come in? Don’t they understand etiquette?”

It was clear that Beidou Yankong was implying that Feng Wuchen and Ling Xiaoxiao lacked manners.

Upon hearing Beidou Yankong’s words, the faces of the Shen Dan Master and others including Chu Changkong changed slightly, but they quickly recovered.

“I am also an alchemist, and I have often heard President Chu mention how incredibly skilled Elder Beidou is at alchemy. Excited, I followed in, hoping to learn from him. I hope Elder Beidou doesn’t mind,” Feng Wuchen spoke lightly.

Feng Wuchen’s praise was thoroughly enjoyed by Beidou Yankong, whose old face revealed a faint smile.

“Good lad, hiding so deep that I can’t even discern his level of cultivation, nor can I sense his soul power.” Yet, when he looked again at Feng Wuchen, Beidou Yankong was inwardly surprised.

Beidou Yankong, being of the Sixth Layer of Tianyuan Realm, was profoundly skilled, but he couldn’t determine Feng Wuchen’s depth of cultivation.

Beidou Yankong didn’t dwell on it much; after all, a junior could not possibly surpass him in cultivation.

“Alchemy is all about the realm, the state of mind, and understanding the nature of every elixir. Alchemy is far more difficult than cultivation. Young man, it’s important to be eager to learn, but you also need to know your limits. When I practice alchemy, it’s beyond what you youngsters can comprehend,” Beidou Yankong stated proudly, like a teacher instructing his students.

Clearly, Beidou Yankong’s words were indicating that Feng Wuchen hadn’t reached that realm yet, wasn’t qualified to learn, and couldn’t understand it.

To put it bluntly, he looked down on Feng Wuchen.

The Shen Dan Master and others including Chu Changkong at his side almost couldn’t help laughing out loud, but they managed to hold it back.

Beidou Yankong actually started lecturing Feng Wuchen as if he believed he could dominate all alchemists of Jiuzhou.

Feng Wuchen was of the Emperor Realm in alchemy, yet Beidou Yankong, not even a Sixth Grade Alchemist, dared to show off his skills in front of him; this was laughably absurd.

Of course, Beidou Yankong didn’t know of Feng Wuchen’s Emperor Realm status.

“Elder Beidou speaks the utmost truth,” Feng Wuchen said, smiling faintly with no intention of cutting down Beidou Yankong.

Beidou Yankong no longer paid attention to Feng Wuchen, seeing him as a no-name, not worth considering.

“Shen Dan Master, let’s begin,” Beidou Yankong stated directly, wearing a confident smile.

As he spoke, Beidou Yankong waved his hand and a black pill furnace appeared out of thin air in the great hall, exuding a powerful aura.

“A mid-grade Spiritual Artifact Pill Furnace!” The Shen Dan Master’s brow furrowed slightly.

Unlike Feng Wuchen, who could perform One-Thought Pill Concoction, they had to rely on a pill furnace for alchemy, and the higher the grade of the pill furnace, the higher the quality of the elixirs it produced.

Beidou Yankong took out a mid-grade Spiritual Artifact Pill Furnace, and the prideful smile on his face became even more pronounced, as if he was showing off his powerful tool.

The Shen Dan Master waved his hand and a low-grade Spiritual Artifact Pill Furnace appeared.

On the surface, the Shen Dan Master was already losing by a significant margin.

“Shen Dan Master, so many years have passed, and the auction hasn’t managed to produce a mid-grade Spiritual Artifact Pill Furnace? It seems Elder Zhao’s realm also hasn’t improved much,” Beidou Yankong said with a faint smile, equally dismissive of Zhao Yuncheng.

On hearing this, Zhao Yuncheng’s brow wrinkled slightly, and he silently cursed Beidou Yankong in his heart.

It seemed Beidou Yankong planned to offend everyone at the auction before he would stop.

“Having a strong pill furnace doesn’t necessarily guarantee the production of potent elixirs,” the Shen Dan Master responded coolly, confident in producing high-quality pills unaffected by elemental poison, just like Moyan.

“Perhaps, but without a powerful pill furnace, one definitely can’t concoct high-quality elixirs. Shen Dan Master, it seems your position as the number one alchemist in Jiuzhou is in jeopardy,” Beidou Yankong laughed confidently.

“We haven’t even started performing alchemy yet. How can Elder Beidou be so certain? The Shen Dan Master is also very skilled at alchemy,” Feng Wuchen asked, smiling faintly.

“Ignorant junior, what do you know?” Beidou Yankong scolded, glaring at Feng Wuchen.

With a flip of his withered palm, dozens of herbs appeared out of thin air, their aromas filling the air and startling those present.

Each of these herbs was extremely precious, and each was worth a fortune.

Seeing the herbs taken out by Beidou Yankong, the expressions of the Shen Dan Master and Chu Changkong and others changed dramatically.

“These are the herbs for concocting the Huoyang Purple Spirit Pill!” the Shen Dan Master exclaimed, his old face showing a trace of shock.

“Can Elder Beidou actually concoct a Huoyang Purple Spirit Pill?” Chu Changkong asked in astonishment.

The Huoyang Purple Spirit Pill had an incredibly powerful effect, capable of helping those in the Tianyuan Realm to ascend one layer of cultivation. A single pill could drive all warriors of the Tianyuan Realm mad with desire.

Among all Fifth Grade elixirs, the Huoyang Purple Spirit Pill was the most difficult to concoct. The process was extremely complicated, and even a slight mishap could lead to failure, wasting precious herbs.

Precisely because it was so difficult to concoct, both the Shen Dan Master and Chu Changkong dared not attempt it, let alone succeed in creating one.

In Jiuzhou, they believed that aside from the anomaly Feng Wuchen, no one else could concoct a Huoyang Purple Spirit Pill. Unexpectedly, Beidou Yankong could.

If Beidou Yankong could really concoct a Huoyang Purple Spirit Pill, it would be no surprise that the Beidou family held such formidable strength.

“It seems this old man does have some skill,” Feng Wuchen nodded inwardly, also quite surprised that Beidou Yankong could concoct a Huoyang Purple Spirit Pill.

Upon seeing the stunned expressions of the Shen Dan Master and Chu Changkong and others, Beidou Yankong was utterly pleased, and his proud smile grew even more intense.

“Of course!” Beidou Yankong said with pride, “I have been concocting Huoyang Purple Spirit Pills for many years, and I am quite knowledgeable about this pill. It’s not difficult for me to make, and the Beidou family has relied on it to build our current strength!”

“Shen Dan Master, I wonder which elixir you plan to concoct?” Beidou Yankong asked with a beaming smile, clearly delighted.

At these words, the Shen Dan Master furrowed his brow deeply, falling silent.

Even as the number one Alchemist in Jiuzhou, the Shen Dan Master did not have the confidence, nor could he concoct a Huoyang Purple Spirit Pill.

The Shen Dan Master’s face grew solemn, and he couldn’t help but look towards Feng Wuchen.

Feng Wuchen nodded slightly, agreeing that the Shen Dan Master should continue the alchemy competition with Beidou Yankong.

“I will concoct a Tianyuan Pill!” the Shen Dan Master said slowly.

The Tianyuan Pill also had the effect of helping those in the Tianyuan Realm improve their cultivation, but it fell far short of the Huoyang Purple Spirit Pill.

“Tianyuan Pill?” Beidou Yankong was taken aback for a moment before chuckling coldly, “Shen Dan Master, if you are going to concoct the Tianyuan Pill, you might as well just admit defeat now. An ordinary Tianyuan Pill, I can concoct at any time. You have no chance of winning.”

The Shen Dan Master’s brows knit slightly tighter, and his face grew colder. Beidou Yankong hadn’t taken the auction seriously, let alone him.

The contempt was clear for all to see.

With a wave of his hand, a basic grade Spiritual Artifact Pill Furnace appeared. With a flick of his finger, the Shen Dan Master ignited a fierce flame in the furnace.

Exerting his soul power, the Shen Dan Master continued to put precious herbs into the furnace one after another, as the Liànqì Jué technique circulated, and his hands began to form mysterious seals.

Dozens of herbs were rapidly smelted as the Shen Dan Master focused intently on his alchemy.

Hailed as the number one Alchemist in Jiuzhou, his alchemy skills were indeed quite high.

“Shen Dan Master, whether it’s the quality of the elixir or the potency of the medicine, you are far behind!” Beidou Yankong shook his head, looking at the Shen Dan Master practicing alchemy, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

“Elder Beidou, the pills have yet to be concocted, how do you know the Shen Dan Master will certainly lose? You may not be able to concoct the Huoyang Purple Spirit Pill,” Feng Wuchen said lightly.

Beidou Yankong’s arrogance and confidence,

“What do you, a junior, understand?” Beidou Yankong shook his head again, “Young man, no matter how strong a Tianyuan Pill is, it’s far inferior to a Huoyang Purple Spirit Pill. The outcome couldn’t be clearer.”

“Don’t speak if you don’t understand! Nobody would take you for a mute if you stayed silent. When the Grand Elder is concocting pills, you’re not qualified to speak. You better not offend the Grand Elder, or I’ll crush you myself!” A middle-aged man from behind Beidou Yankong spoke coldly.

His words immediately caused the face of the Shen Dan Master and Chu Changkong, and others to darken.

Arrogant! Far too arrogant!

“Crush me.” Feng Wuchen nodded and said with a playful smile, “If Elder Beidou is so powerful, let’s do this, if you can concoct the Huoyang Purple Spirit Pill, you win, and the title of Jiuzhou’s number one Alchemist will be yours. If you cannot concoct it, you lose, and I will bet that man’s life as well!” he said, pointing to the man who had claimed he would crush Feng Wuchen.

The middle-aged man’s face darkened slightly, and a vicious glint flashed across his eyes, but he did not speak.

Beidou Yankong frowned slightly, glanced at Feng Wuchen with aged eyes, and said disdainfully, “You are not qualified to speak!”

“He is!” Chu Changkong said adamantly, looking extremely displeased.

Beidou Yankong’s repeated insults to Feng Wuchen had made them furious.

Beidou Yankong was taken aback for a moment before looking at Chu Changkong, then at Feng Wuchen, feeling very surprised.

“If Elder Beidou is afraid to do so, then forget it!” Feng Wuchen said with an amused smile, his eyes teasingly fixed on Beidou Yankong, as if to say: Aren’t you very impressive? Prove it then.
