Chapter 835

Those several long-lost spirit array diagrams contained huge wealth. Although everyone didn’t know exactly what the functions of these spirit array diagrams were, as long as they went back and studied them carefully, they could completely understand them.

After unlocking the secret on the animal skin, everyone was extremely happy.

Du Wan rolled his eyes and hehe laughed: “Gentlemen, this time we were able to solve the mystery of the spirit array diagram all thanks to Yang Kai’s efforts. If not for this you might not have been able to even if you died of old age. Now that you are also satisfied shouldn’t you have some expression?

“What expression？” He Feng’s eyes bulged out.

That Chang Bao even quickly covered his Universe Bag and stared at Du Wan vigilantly.

Last time, these people bet with Du Wan in Floating Cloud City and lost a game, resulting in something in their Universe Bags being taken away by Yang Kai. Now that Du Wan said such words, it immediately made them extremely alert.

Du Wan ignored them and instead looked at Yang Kai with a smile. “My old friends here are always generous. Since you’ve gone to so much trouble to solve their doubts, I think they should give you some gifts of thanks… Hmm, but don’t take too much, just a little token will do.”

Hearing this, the four people’s expressions turned bitter, and they secretly cursed Du Wan as an ungrateful wretch and insatiably greedy.

Kong Ruoyu said with a helpless smile, “Alright, as Senior Brother Du said, we have indeed benefited a great deal. It won’t hurt to let this kid take a little advantage. You don’t have to look so bitter. Since you’ve all gained so much, you really should thank him.”

With Kong Ruoyu’s words, the other three people couldn’t say anything more.

He Feng looked at Yang Kai hesitantly. “What do you want？ Just say it and I’ll satisfy you！”

Yang Kai glanced at his Qiankun bag, and He Feng couldn’t help but shiver.

Chang Bao and Hong Fang also raised their hearts to their throats, afraid that Yang Kai would, as last time, take something from their Qiankun bags.

Yang Kai chuckled and said loudly, “Since the kindness of you is hard to refuse, this kid will not be polite. Hmm… this time I don’t want the treasures in your Qiankun bags either.”

The three male alchemy masters relaxed their expressions when they heard this, and their gazes towards Yang Kai became kinder. They looked at him as if to say, ‘You’re a smart boy.’

Then what do you want? Du Wan was stunned. “My old friends here are as rich as a country. If you miss this opportunity, there won’t be another one.”

“Du Wan, you shut up and let this kid make his own request.” Chang Bao glared at Du Wan hatefully.

“Alright, alright, I won’t say anything！” Du Wan was helpless and immediately fell silent.

Yang Kai pondered for a moment and then said, “Well, you masters are all lower-rank Saint-level alchemists. As the reward for unblocking that spirit array diagram how about each of you refine a Saint Pill and give it to me?

“Refine a Saint Pill？” Chang Bao’s face twitched.

“Yes. Refine a Saint Pill！” Yang Kai nodded seriously.

“Saint Pills are not easy to refine.” He Feng stroked his chin. Although they were all Saint-level alchemists, refining a Saint Pill still carried great risks and was very likely to fail.

It was also time-consuming and laborious to refine.

Precisely because of this, every Saint Pill in the world was extremely valuable.

“Alright.” Du Wan suddenly became excited and looked at the other four with burning eyes： “Gentlemen, haven’t we not competed for a long time？ How about taking this opportunity to have a competition？ Let Yang Kai and Ye Xiong and the others be the judges and see whose Saint Pill is better.”

“Du Wan, do you think that just because you are about to be promoted to a middle-rank Saint-level alchemist, you don’t take us seriously？” He Feng sneered.

“Dare not, dare not… It’s just that the opportunity is rare and Du is itchy in his hands.”

“Good. I agree with Senior Brother Du’s proposal. We really haven’t competed for a long time.” Kong Ruoyu also became interested.

“I don’t care.” Hong Fang shrugged his shoulders.

“Then let’s do it like this. Oh, my poor old bones…” Chang Bao moved his bloated body, shouting.

“Everyone, please follow me.” Du Wan laughed heartily, looking very happy. As he spoke, he stepped out, and the crowd immediately followed.

Yang Kai put forward the request for them to refine Saint Grade Pills, not for the pills themselves.

Saint Grade Pills, he can also refine them now. Although it is not easy to refine and the medicinal materials are difficult to find, the storage in Yang Kai’s Black Book Space is abundant, and the value of a few Saint Grade Pills really doesn’t catch his eye.

What he wants is the insights and techniques of these alchemy masters in the alchemy process. Observe and learn from them.

The masters also knew it well, so they didn’t refuse. Not only did they readily agree, but they also secretly decided to display their most exquisite techniques when alchemy later.

In the alchemy workshop of the Alchemist Association, several adults each found a good position. Took out their alchemy furnaces and corresponding medicinal materials and placed them on the table.

Each of those medicinal materials was filled with spiritual energy, crystal clear and dripping, clearly all Saint Grade treasures of heaven and earth.

In the alchemy workshop, Yang Kai, Ye Xiong, and Mina watched from the side.

With such a great opportunity, Du Wan naturally had to call Ye Xiong and Mina over as well.

As for that little girl Wu’er, she is really too young and lacks experience. Even if she were called over, she wouldn’t be able to understand much, so they didn’t inform her.

Mina’s face was flushed with excitement. She sat cross-legged beside Yang Kai and nervously asked, Why do these adults suddenly want to compete in alchemy? And they are even going to refine Saint Pills?

“That’s right. I haven’t seen Elder Du make a move to refine pills for a long time. And this time there are four others. This is really a rare grand occasion that can’t be seen in many years! Ye Xiong was also quite excited. His eyes were brilliant, staring at the front, and he whispered, “Mina, later and don’t let go of even the slightest gap. It will be of great help to your growth.

“I know, Master.” Mina nodded heavily, her expression extremely focused.

“Are there any adults ready?” Du Wan smiled and looked around, asking loudly.

Everyone nodded slightly, indicating that everything was ready.

“Then why don’t we first introduce what pills we are going to refine.” Du Wan smiled slightly and said, “I, Du, am going to refine the Mysterious Ice Good Fortune Pill…specially created for those who cultivate cold-attribute cultivation techniques and martial skills. After taking it, it can create an extremely cold environment in the body, which is helpful for the condensation of true essence and the improvement of cultivation. Well, the required materials are Mysterious Ice Jade Crystal Flower, colorless soil, Green Blood Grass, and the inner alchemy of the seventh-order Demonic Beast Ice Jade Python…”

Du Wan said loudly, and his words reached the ears of the three onlookers, making Yang Kai and the others show thoughtful expressions.

A alchemist will have a lot of his own particularities when refining pills. Some traces can be seen from his selection of materials. How to fuse and refine these materials all have their own unique techniques.

Du Wan clearly wanted Yang Kai and the other three to learn more, so he explained so carefully.

After he finished speaking, Kong Ruoyu smiled slightly and also said loudly: “The old woman is going to refine the Liyun Pill, which has the effect of protecting the divine soul. If the divine soul is injured and this pill is taken, it can ensure that the divine soul does not disperse and also has a certain healing effect. The required materials are Shura bones, soulless ghostface flower, solidifying divine stalagmites, and Hundred Tribulations Condensed Jade Dew…

Several masters shouted one after another, reporting the names of the holy pills they were going to refine and the required natural treasures one after another.

Mina and Ye Xiong were amazed when they heard it. Just each of these medicinal materials is extremely difficult to find. So many natural treasures gathered together is really a rare scene.

The heart was excited, and the blood flow in the whole body accelerated a lot.

After a while, the five masters looked at each other, and Du Wan said： “In that case, let’s start！”

The other four nodded one after another.

The next moment, the pure true essence burst out from the five people’s bodies, and in an instant, the temperature in the entire alchemy workshop increased a lot.

Yang Kai and the other two watched intently. They saw the five people spraying out their true essence and constructing the spiritual array required for alchemy in the pill furnace in front of them.

When they were constructing the spiritual array, it seemed that they deliberately wanted Yang Kai and the others to see clearly. Every strand of true essence left a trace that could be followed. After the spiritual array diagram was completed, both Yang Kai and Ye Xiong and Mina clearly spied on what their spiritual array was like.

One after another, the rare and precious treasures of heaven and earth were put into the pill furnace. The five masters moved smoothly and fluidly. Those medicinal materials were refined into liquid medicine in the pill furnace and were placed aside under the guidance of the true essence.

Mina couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise and covered her small mouth for fear that she would make any sound and disturb the masters.

Yang Kai was also dazzled. Although his current alchemy level was not much different from that of several in front of him there were still many places that could be used for reference, especially their alchemy techniques and some details noticed in the process of handling the liquid medicine.

Realizing these things would also be of great help in improving his own alchemy skills.

The hands of each master were like fluttering butterflies. For them, alchemy was simply an art. On their flexible hands, the essence of alchemy was sublimated.

Yang Kai became more and more fascinated the more he watched, and his entire mind gradually became immersed in it. While observing, he was imagining in his mind what kind of scene it would be if he were to refine the pill himself, comparing it with the five masters, looking for his own shortcomings and silently remembering them in his heart.

Gradually, Yang Kai forgot everything around him and seemed to be in a world of alchemy, unable to extricate himself.

Mina and Ye Xiong were the same, both having forgotten the passage of time.

As sweat rained down, the True Yuan in the alchemy room surged again and again, and the spirit array in the alchemy furnace was re-engraved again and again. When refining pills, an excellent alchemist would not only use one spirit array. Depending on the timing and heat, the spirit array would also be replaced at any time to achieve the most perfect effect.

In this regard, Yang Kai gained a great inspiration. When he used to refine pills, he would use one spirit array to the end. But now it seems that if the spirit arrays can be used alternately and different spirit arrays are used at different times, the effect may become better.

Wafts of pill fragrance drifted up, and the alchemy furnaces in front of each alchemist exuded a faint mist, looking like a dream.

The expressions of the masters also became extremely solemn. At the last moment, they didn’t dare to be the slightest bit negligent. A slight carelessness might make all the previous efforts in vain.
