Chapter 1899

While thinking this in his heart, Aiol didn’t show the slightest bit of it on his face. With his strength and status, Aiol had long been able to remain calm even when a mountain was about to collapse in front of him.

“Hehe, President, the teacher’s elixir has already been refined. I wonder about this friend…” Zhan Yuan walked out and pointed at Yang Kai and asked.

In the past, no matter what, he didn’t dare to address Yang Kai as a friend. Although he was a Void-level alchemist, Yang Kai was a genuine Void King Realm Layer 2 powerhouse.

He simply didn’t have the qualifications.

But at this moment, the general situation had been decided. Naturally, Zhan Yuan didn’t need to be polite to someone who was going to be his honest servant for the next two thousand years.

This address of friend was taken for granted.

“It seems that it hasn’t been refined yet.” Aiol’s expression was calm as he spoke the truth.

Zhan Yuan smiled slightly： “President, what you said is wrong. I don’t think he didn’t refine it. He simply couldn’t succeed in refining it. Two days have already passed. No matter what, there should be some fragrance of the elixir wafting out of the cauldron.”

After hearing what he said, the several hundred alchemists who came here were also slightly stunned. They thought, that’s right.

No matter whether Yang Kai’s progress was fast or slow, two days had passed. Master Zuo De’s Primal Soul Restoration Pill had been completed. Even if Yang Kai was slower, there should be some fragrance wafting out.

Now that there was no fragrance at all, obviously something had gone wrong.

“What he said makes sense！” Zong Ao, who had been standing by and had some insights, nodded slightly.

Aio couldn’t help but take a look at Zong Ao and thought to himself, whose side are you on exactly？

“Just telling the truth.” Zong Ao said again.

Aio felt was at a loss for words and knew that these alchemists were all single-minded and extremely rigorous in their attitude towards the art of alchemy. They wouldn’t profane the art of alchemy because of the closeness of the relationship.

“That’s true…” Aio didn’t know what to say anymore. After all, he knew nothing about the art of alchemy and didn’t dare to say anything rashly.

“Although there is no fragrance of the pill, there is also no burnt smell, which means that the medicinal materials in Yang Kai’s pill furnace are still intact.” Xue Yue suddenly stood up. “This doesn’t mean that he has failed in the refining, does it？”

Zhan Yuan was Stunned and opened his mouth, but he was also at a loss for words.

Indeed, although there was no fragrance of the pill floating out of Yang Kai’s pill furnace, there was also no burnt smell of failure. The crowd was suddenly a little confused about what the situation was in front of them.

“Moreover, the master also said before that there is no time limit for Yang Kai. It’s only been two days. Why don’t you all wait for a while?” Xue Yue said.

“The teacher indeed said that there is no time limit.” Zhan Yuan frowned and said in a deep voice. “But if this person keeps refining like this, do we have to wait forever？ Then this competition will not be able to determine the winner…”

While speaking, he suddenly seemed to think of something, and slapped his hands and said, “That’s it, I know what kind of trick he is playing. He must have thrown all the medicinal materials into the pill furnace, and then ignored them, just wasting time like this. When we get impatient, no one will bother to pursue it.

Although Zhan Yuan’s words were speculation, when everyone thought about it carefully, there was really some truth to them.

Master Zuo De had previously relied on his status and had not set a time limit for Yang Kai. If Yang Kai started from this aspect, he could definitely resolve the current crisis.

After all, no one could wait here for him for a year or two, or five or ten years…

He, a Void King 2-layer Realm powerhouse, would surely often go into seclusion for more than ten years. What if he takes this opportunity to understand some mysterious and secret arts…

He wouldn’t waste time, but it was different for other people.

Zhan Yuan’s words made the alchemists seem to suddenly see through Yang Kai’s intentions, and their eyes were looking at him became displeased and disgusted.

Daring to compete in alchemy with Master Zuo De was itself a kind of blasphemy. At this moment, actually using such a means to delay time was simply outrageous!

Immediately, a Void level top-grade alchemist stood up, and with a solemn face, he bowed and said to Aio, “President please give an explanation for this matter. If this person is really as unbearable as Master Zhan said, please President must give Master Zuo De a fair deal.”

“That’s right. The way of alchemy is sacred and flawless, and cannot be desecrated. This person’s actions at the moment are insulting the way of alchemy we pursue and insulting all the alchemists in the star field. We cannot tolerate or appease this！”

“Please, President, uphold justice.”

“If a satisfactory answer is not given, we will immediately leave the Hengluo Chamber of Commerce and seek better opportunities elsewhere！”

“Count me in. This person is simply too abominable.”

Hundreds of alchemists, more than half of them stood up in a rush, all demanding an explanation from Aio. Even facing the president of the Hengluo Chamber of Commerce these alchemists were not afraid at all, and their eyes looked directly into Aio’s eyes.”

Aio’s head was about to explode.

He never expected things to develop to this point. Just because of a competition, it actually aroused the anger of two or three hundred alchemists！

He knew that if this matter was not handled well, then the Hengluo Chamber of Commerce would be bound to suffer serious damage.

These alchemists who stood up were all hired by him at a high price and were not alchemists cultivated by the chamber of commerce itself. They could completely leave the chamber of commerce freely and go to other forces. He believed that other forces would be very happy to accept them.

While being anxious, Aio was also secretly angry, angry that these guys didn’t know the seriousness of the matter and joined in the commotion blindly.

On the other side, Zhan Yuan couldn’t help but grin. He didn’t expect that just a few casual words he said would have such an effect.

However, this scene was what he and Zuo De were happy to see. He quietly took a look at Zuo De and found that the other party was looking at him with approving eyes, as if praising that his future was limitless.

Zhan Yuan quickly straightened his back！

Like a javelin.

“President, today’s matter is already very obvious. Please give us an explanation！”

Seeing that Ai Ou didn’t move for a long time, those alchemists couldn’t help but speak up and urge.

Ai Ou frowned, pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice, “Do you all believe that Yang Kai is playing tricks and delaying time？ Isn’t it a bit too arbitrary to come to such a conclusion？ I think we should observe for a while longer.”

“What else needs to be observed？” Someone said dissatisfied.

Zuo De suddenly said, “Everyone, don’t be impatient. What President Ai Ou said also makes sense. Moreover, I did say that I wouldn’t limit his time before. Let’s just wait and see. This is my oversight.”

These words made those alchemists even more feel that Zuo De was not worth it. They thought that the master was such a great person, yet he was forced to compete in alchemy with a scoundrel. This scoundrel simply deserved to die!

“Master, you are too kind-hearted！” An alchemist shook his head and sighed. “Master, if you say so, it will only make some people take your tolerance as cowardice. This matter must not be tolerated or delayed.”

“That’s right!” The alchemist who spoke first snorted coldly. This person was an octogenarian with wrinkles all over his face, looking as if he was on his deathbed. At this moment, however, he stared at Aiol with a menacing gaze and said, “President, just take a look. Which alchemist doesn’t exhaust himself and go all out when refining pills? Even someone like Master Zuo De, after two days of pill refinement, looks like he’s on the verge of collapse. But look at this person, with a calm expression, sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, without any fluctuation of Saint Yuan all over his body, nor the absorption of the power of the Earth Fire. He has the Divine Sense Fire, but I don’t feel the sign that he is driving the Divine Sense Fire! What else is he doing if not stalling for time? If President you favor this person blindly, it will really disappoint us.”

Aiol’s face was as heavy as water, and he was extremely headache.

He raised his eyelids and glanced at the void, wanting to ask Long Tianshang, who was hidden in the void, how to deal with the current situation.

But Long Tianshang showed no sign of paying attention.

Just as Aiol was looking difficult and didn’t know what to do to quell the public anger, a scoffed at suddenly came out.

As soon as this voice came out, everyone was stunned for a moment and all turned their heads to look in the direction of the sound source.

They saw that Yang Kai, who had been sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed before, had opened his eyes at some point and was tilting his head, listening intently to the conversation of the crowd with great interest.

He seemed like an outsider.

“Is this friend finally done pretending to be mysterious？” Zhan Yuan sneered again and again. He firmly believed that there were only categorized medicinal ingredients in Yang Kai’s Alchemy Furnace at the moment, and perhaps not even the medicinal liquid had been refined, so he spoke with great confidence.

“Do I need to pretend to be mysterious？” Yang Kai glanced at him.

“Hmph, you know in your heart.” Zhan Yuan sneered.

“Lad, what were you laughing at just now？” Zuo De’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked lightly in a tone of relying on one’s seniority.

“Naturally laughing at your ignorance！”

“What did you say?” The crowd was furious and glared at Yang Kai maliciously. Everyone was an Alchemist. When had they ever been despised like this before?

“Aren’t you?” A sarcastic smile emerged on the corner of Yang Kai’s mouth. “Who told you that an Alchemist must be exhausted and go all out when refining pills? Who told you that you can’t close your eyes and meditate when refining pills? And who told you that there must be a pervasive of pill fragrance when refining pills?

“What do you want to say？”

“Didn’t want to say anything.” Yang Kai pouted and looked at Zuo De. “Master, if you were asked to refine a Returning Yuan Pill at this moment, would you make yourself sweaty and out of breath？”

“Hmph, of course not！” Zuo De snorted coldly.

“That’s right. The reason you won’t is because the Restoration Pill is too low in grade for you. You can easily refine it successfully and don’t need to go all out at all. Your own Saint Yuan can completely keep up with the needs of alchemy, so naturally you won’t be exhausted.”

“You mean… the Primordial Soul Restoration Pill is to you what the Restoration Pill is to this old man？” Zuo De’s eyelids twitched.

“That’s right！” Yang Kai smiled and nodded.

“Arrogant！”

“Shut up！” Yang Kai turned his head and coldly shouted at the person who spoke. “This Seat is at the Void King 2-layer realm. The reason I didn’t get exhausted from alchemy is because I don’t need to go all out. Closing my eyes and meditating is because I don’t need to worry too much. You didn’t feel the fire of my Divine Sense being activated because your strength is insufficient！ You don’t know anything and yet you come here to chirp. Don’t you think it’s a bit too ridiculous？”

A group of alchemists were left speechless by Yang Kai’s words.

Dammit, this guy seems to be making a lot of sense！

They were all alchemists and would never consider things from the perspective of a martial artist. Now, led by Yang Kai’s train of thought, they suddenly didn’t know what to say.
