Chapter 1076: Initially Arrogant, Then Humble

elp but take a few steps toward the direction of the beauty fruit. 。Lu Xiaodai's eyes passed over Luo Qian, and fell on the Zhurongguo. Soon, his heart moved. Under the larger Zhurongguo tree, there...“Then let’s get started.” Lu Xia Tian wasn't afraid. Right now, he was just missing a small portion of the Jade Skeleton Orchid needed to refine the sword orb into a sword embryo. Once it was completed, his Phantom Sword Formation would be even more powerful.

Earlier, if it had been pre-refined, it would have been three heads of the snake demon Biqiong, and it would be extremely difficult to damage his sword formation again.

For a time, several nascent soul cultivators, as well as Changshui Muye and the two golden core cultivators, Nanyun Ya, all stared nervously at Dou Peng, who had previously been marginalized but was now the center of everyone's attention.

Not just here, but anywhere in the nation of Xiangguo, a master alchemist would be the center of attention wherever they went.

Lu Xia Tian pretended to meditate and calm his mind. After sitting in front of the pill furnace for a while, his eyes suddenly widened, and with a wave of his hand, a burst of Fan Luo spiritual fire flew directly under the huge pill furnace.

After a great deal of alchemy experience, Lu Xia Tian now rarely used his old bamboo charcoal. Instead, he was accustomed to using the Varro Spirit Fire.

“Such pure Buddhist and Taoist aura, the legendary Brahma Spirit Fire!” Zhu Qingquan and his companions were overjoyed. Among the many alchemy masters they knew, many had spirit fires, after all, possessing a spirit fire was extraordinarily helpful for alchemy.

Among the many infant cultivators present, I have seen quite a bit of spirit fire. However, the Brahma Luo Spirit Fire is undoubtedly an extremely rare kind.

The higher the rank of an alchemist, the more particular they are about spiritual fire. It can be said that Lu Xiaoteng's offering of the Brahma Luminous Fire has increased Yunchizi and Zhuchingquan's confidence in him even further.

And Fang Ling, Makino Chōtei and several others, their faces turned a few shades paler.

"This fellow, though he doesn't dare to show his true face, has an air of confidence. Could he really be a master alchemist" At this moment, Nan Yunya's heart couldn't help but pound, and she muttered to herself in secret.

"Who knows, if he really is a master alchemist, Elder Brother Zhangting might be truly in trouble this time." Muye Changshui frowned slightly.

...Pffft.

A plume of black smoke billowed out, the first furnace of alchemy was ruined.

Maki no Chōtei let out a sigh of relief. Although the final outcome was still unknown, seeing the enemy's defeat was undeniably a very satisfying thing.

At this time, no one truly believed that Makino Chōtei had won. It's perfectly normal for alchemists to fail when refining spirit pills. Even a master alchemist or a grandmaster of alchemy wouldn't be able to guarantee success every time they refine a pill.

"Failure, failure!" Makino Chōtei, Nan Yun Ya, Fang Ling and the others silently repeated this word in their hearts.

Just looking at Lu Xiaotian's extremely skilled and daring pill-refining movements, which were as smooth as flowing clouds and water, though he didn't have a good feeling about this person in front of him, he had to admit that watching this person refine pills, just the process itself, was an enjoyment. Whether this person was a master alchemist was yet to be known, but it was certain that he knew how to refine pills. After all, the people present were not short on vision and discernment.

Although Lu Xiaotian had slowed down his alchemy speed, in the eyes of the cultivators, it was still extremely fast. Flames were surging, various spiritual objects were flying, and the blue cauldron sometimes rotated, sometimes rising several meters into the air.

One or two hours, in the eyes of the cultivators, also passed in a flash, just like watching an exciting performance.

A strange fragrance wafted out from the alchemy furnace. Lu Xia Tian extended his palm and struck it with a forceful palm strike.

Three Sanhe Ying Dan, one of them had a much more intense aura than the other two. It was immediately clear that it was a mid-grade Sanhe Ying Dan.

Makiino Longting's face instantly turned ashen, Fang Ling was equally pale and lifeless. Makiino Changshui and Nanyun Ya opened their mouths wide in shock, their faces full of disbelief. Not only was the opponent a master alchemist, but their alchemy skills were far beyond their expectations.

"Haha, good. Three elixirs in one furnace, even more rare is that there's also a middle-grade Nascent Soul Pill among them. Such flowing and effortless alchemy technique is truly remarkable. It’s something I, Mang, have only seen once in my life. This master, my Mang family is one of the six great cultivating families in Xiang Nation, and we are precisely lacking a master like you to sit in charge. As long as the master nods, the conditions are up to you."

Among the top ten immortal cultivation families, even with a great cultivator like him in charge, the Mang family could only rank ninth. They didn't lose because of their high-end combat power. They lost because of other accumulations. For an immortal cultivation family, having a high-ranking alchemist is extremely important. The Mang family spent a lot of effort to recruit a high-ranking alchemist fifty years ago. In addition, they maintain a very good relationship with this high-ranking alchemist.

The most fundamental difference between a high-ranking alchemist and an alchemy master is whether they can refine the Nascent Soul Pill. While alchemy masters excel in refining various types of pills, they can all generally refine the Nascent Soul Pill, with the only difference being the success rate.

If we could capture this alchemy master before us, the ranking of the Mang family would at least be able to move up two or three places.

This fellow in the coarse robe before us is not only a master alchemist, but he can successfully refine Nascent Soul Pills in his second furnace, even including mid-grade ones. It's evident that he belongs to the most precious category of alchemists.

“Lord of the Mawang Manor, I’m afraid I can’t agree with you. This Master is a VIP of our Yunya Auction House, and in the future, he will naturally continue to be our most distinguished guest. Master, if you are willing to join our Yunya Auction House and help us refine elixirs, not only will you enjoy a high annual salary, but Yunya Auction House will also give you priority over others in collecting spiritual materials after the Great Elder. All items will be offered at an 80% discount to you. In addition, all the spiritual materials used for refining elixirs will be paid by our house. You only need to contribute your effort and can enjoy a full one hundred percent of the profits.”

Zhuge Qingquan truly lived up to his reputation as someone who had spent years at the Yunya Auction House, conducting countless transactions. At this moment, he spoke directly to the point, hitting the nail on the head.

It seems some of you have ignored the request just made by this esteemed master. Young Master Makino, I believe there is no disagreement about the outcome of this match, yes

Chu Yunzi secretly sighed that his family's strength was not enough, and he couldn't compete with the Yunya Auction House and the Mang family. Since that was the case, it would be better to sell them a favor and focus on breaking through at Muye Changting.

“My Muye family people naturally count our words. This is something I spent a lot of effort exchanging for. It now belongs to Master. The things inside are too valuable; they belong to the Muye family. I cannot act on my own and directly give them to you, but I can pay two million lower-grade spirit stones for you as an apology for my previous disrespect. I hope Master will not hold a grudge and forgive me for my previous offense.”

After a while of his face turning pale and then flushed, Mukaino Chotei finally made up his decision. As a newly promoted Yuan Ying cultivator, consolidating his realm after forming the core and re-refining the spiritual weapon would cost a huge amount of spirit stones. Twenty million low-grade spirit stones was almost all he had at the moment.

Makoto Mukono didn't want to be so meek and subservient from the bottom of his heart. After all, it wasn't a good look for him.as the ethereal flying sword, swooshing through the air.
