CHAPTER 314: CHAPTER 314: LV YUN IS SHOCKED_1

"HUH?"

Lu Hong and the Wolf King were taken aback. Lv Yun was also surprised. Apparently, none of them had expected Qin Feiyang to plead for Huang San.

As for Huang San, he was utterly stupefied. He had assumed that even if Qin Feiyang didn’t kill him, he would at least give him a thorough lesson. But not only did Qin Feiyang not do so, he even spoke up for him. What a good man indeed! Compared to Lu Ziyuan and the others, he was practically a benevolent Angel!

Lv Yun pondered for a moment and then nodded. "Alright then. If you insist on not pursuing this further, I have nothing more to say." She then turned her gaze to Huang San and said, "You may leave now!"

"Yes." Huang San hastily rose from the ground.

Qin Feiyang advised, "Remember the lesson from this incident, and don’t let people use you as a pawn again."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Qin, for your magnanimity." With gratitude shining in his eyes, Huang San quickly turned and dashed towards the lower floor without looking back.

Lv Yun withdrew her gaze, smiling at Qin Feiyang. "Who would have thought you’d surprise us with your magnanimity? I wronged you earlier; please don’t take it to heart."

Qin Feiyang cupped his hands respectfully. "Elder Lv, you are too kind. May I know why you sought me, a Disciple?"

"Let’s talk inside." Lv Yun glanced at the Disciples below, who were gazing up at them, then turned and walked into the Alchemy Chamber.

The two humans and the wolf exchanged suspicious glances and followed her in.

"Even Lu Ziyuan was taken down by Qin Feiyang."

"That man is truly remarkable!"

"It seems like a change is coming to our Elixir Fire Palace."

"Yeah, the days of Lu Ziyuan and his pack’s arrogance are finally over."

As soon as the stone door of the Alchemy Chamber closed, all the Disciples began discussing fervently.

The six young men and women with ninth-level spiritual power looked at the No. 2 Alchemy Chamber, their eyes filled with fear. Initially, they knew Huang San had been beaten by Lu Ziyuan’s group but kept silent due to their statuses. They had also intended to use this situation to oust Qin Feiyang. Unexpectedly, it was Lu Ziyuan’s group that ended up losing to him.

"This man... he’s too shrewd."

"It feels like everything is under his control."

"We must never provoke him again unless it is absolutely necessary!" a young woman in white robes sighed.

The other five nodded in agreement. This Qin Feiyang was much harder to deal with than Lu Ziyuan’s group.

「...」

「No. 2 Alchemy Chamber!」

Lv Yun took out a pill and, staring intently at Qin Feiyang, asked, "Did you really refine this Lifespan Extension Pill?"

Qin Feiyang glanced at the pill. An eye-catching Elixir Pattern was carved into it. He asked in confusion, "Did the two Steward Elders give it to you, Elder Lv?"

Lv Yun nodded.

Qin Feiyang responded with a smile, "Then, it was indeed refined by me."

"Impressive, impressive." Our Holy Temple has another genius Alchemist. The saying ’seeing is believing’ held true, and Lv Yun was absolutely delighted to confirm it herself.

But then, she frowned and shook her head. "This probably isn’t your full strength."

A shiver ran down Qin Feiyang’s spine.

Lv Yun looked at him curiously. "They informed me that when you were refining this Lifespan Extension Pill, you did not use Shao Hong’s Third Grade Pill Furnace, nor did you use the Elixir Fire Palace’s alchemy fire. This implies you can produce even higher-quality pills. Tell me, why are you concealing your strength?"

Everyone in the Holy Temple is quite a handful, Qin Feiyang grumbled silently, then responded with a smile, "To be frank with you, Elder, I prefer keeping a low profile."

"Low profile?" Lv Yun paused, her eyes filled with bemusement. The man who first snatched the Alchemy Chambers of Shao Hong and Dong Cheng, then Lu Ziyuan’s, and finally humiliated all three of them, was trying to keep a low profile?

Upon seeing Lv Yun’s expression, Qin Feiyang couldn’t help but shake his head and smile wryly. "If they hadn’t provoked me first, I wouldn’t have retaliated to humiliate them." He indeed intended to keep a low profile. Even if he aimed for a place on the tenth floor, he wouldn’t have challenged Lu Ziyuan and his group unnecessarily. It was their misfortune to provoke him.

Lv Yun couldn’t help but chuckle at his earnest explanation. "Show me the pinnacle of your Alchemy skills then!"

"This..." Qin Feiyang hesitated.

Lv Yun said, "I guarantee that nothing will be disclosed to anyone, including the Palace Master."

"Alright then," Qin Feiyang finally complied. "I will refine a Healing Pill."

Considering her position as the Law Enforcement Elder and her earnest request, if he still refused, he risked her taking issue with him.

He walked into the alchemy room, took out a bronze Pill Furnace, along with the materials needed to refine a Healing Pill. He then ignited his alchemy fire, and his spiritual power seeped out, slowly merging with the flame. This fusion process took a full six hours.

By this time, the sky had already darkened.

Lu Ziyuan and the two others were kneeling side by side in the plaza. As Disciples passed by, whispers about their plight filled the air. This made them feel immense humiliation, and their hatred for Qin Feiyang grew stronger with every passing moment.

"PHEW!" After the successful fusion of his spiritual power and alchemy fire, Qin Feiyang took a deep breath and began the process of refining the pill methodically. He was also eager to see the quality of the Top Grade pill he could create.

You have to understand, things are different now. This is Spirit State, not Yan Province. In Yan Province, he was the only Top Grade Alchemist, and everyone needed his favor. But in Spirit State, he knew of at least two: Lu Xingchen and Murong Jing. If the Top Grade pill he was about to make did not surpass their mastery, the high-ranking officials of the Holy Temple wouldn’t fully cultivate his talent. In other words, this Alchemy attempt could determine his future benefits and fate.

Meanwhile, Lv Yun watched Qin Feiyang working on the Alchemy, nodding appreciatively. A good Alchemist, first and foremost, needs the right state of mind: free from desire and distractions, imperturbable and orderly, calm and composed. This young man seemed to possess such a state of mind.

WHIZ!

After dozens of breaths, the Healing Pill was finally ready! Like a streak of rainbow light, it darted out of the bronze Pill Furnace. Qin Feiyang waved his hand and caught the Healing Pill firmly in his grasp.

Upon seeing this, Lv Yun, Lu Hong, and the Wolf King all swarmed around, their eyes filled with anticipation.

"PHEW!" Qin Feiyang exhaled a long breath and slowly uncurled his fingers. Dazzling rays of light burst forth from between them.

"Such intense light!" Lv Yun’s gaze quivered.

The Wolf King urged, "Xiao Qinzi, can you hurry up? You’re really keeping us on tenterhooks!"

Qin Feiyang glanced at the two humans and the wolf, then suddenly splayed his hand open. The thumbnail-sized Healing Pill was revealed before their eyes. The brightness was overwhelming; it was almost impossible to discern the Elixir Pattern on the pill!

"It has two Elixir Patterns!" Lu Hong gasped in surprise.

Lv Yun was also shocked to her core. The brightness was emanating from those two Elixir Patterns! He could actually refine a pill with two Elixir Patterns? Unbelievable! His Alchemy talent was so terrifying! He was no longer just a prodigy, but a monster, an inhuman being! The two glaring Elixir Patterns assaulted her vision, overwhelming her mind.

Even Qin Feiyang himself, the one who had crafted it, took a moment to come to his senses. Although he had anticipated it, the excitement of seeing it with his own eyes was indescribable. Furthermore, this Healing Pill was different from the one he had crafted in the Alchemy Chamber on the first floor. The light emitted by the two Elixir Patterns on this Healing Pill was nearly identical in intensity and equally dazzlingly brilliant! With further progress, a third Elixir Pattern might even appear! It seems I’ll still be sought after in Spirit State, Qin Feiyang muttered to himself. Because each additional Elixir Pattern would cause the pill’s potency to increase exponentially. Take this Healing Pill, for instance; if it were to be auctioned, it would definitely cause a frenzy.

"Qin Feiyang, you’ve done very well." Lv Yun laughed, unconcerned with her image. Her mature charm was blossoming with joy. Luckily, she hadn’t let Shi Ming snatch this child away, or the Elixir Palace would have lost a tremendous prodigy.

She suppressed her laughter and said to Qin Feiyang, "If you want the No. 1 Alchemy Chamber, I can give it to you right away."

"EH!" Qin Feiyang was stunned.

Lu Hong whispered, "This is a good opportunity."

Qin Feiyang glanced at her, pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "Forget it, it’s bothersome to keep moving around. I appreciate your generous offer, Elder Lv."

"You’re declining?" Lv Yun was taken aback. Other Disciples dreamed of having the No. 1 Alchemy Chamber, and now that it was offered to him, he was refusing?

Lv Yun asked, "Are you afraid of offending Murong Jing?"

Qin Feiyang smiled. "I haven’t thought that far. It’s just that I’d rather not complicate matters. Besides, the No. 2 Alchemy Chamber is sufficient."

Humble and calm, truly a promising young talent, Lv Yun mused internally, then nodded and said with a smile, "Well, suit yourself then. However, while Alchemy is important, cultivation is just as crucial. Don’t focus solely on Alchemy and neglect your cultivation."

"This Disciple understands," Qin Feiyang nodded.

"Alright, that’s all then. I’ll be off." Lv Yun then asked, "By the way, can I have this Healing Pill?"

"Of course!" Qin Feiyang handed it over with both hands.

Lv Yun admired it fondly for a while, then smiled. "Take out your Image Crystal Stone. Let’s establish a communication bridge, so you can contact me directly if anything comes up in the future."

"Okay." Qin Feiyang nodded.

After establishing the communication bridge, Lv Yun left with the Healing Pill.

Lu Hong went and closed the stone door, shaking her head. "That woman is somewhat pragmatic."

"In this place, you are only respected and valued when you demonstrate your worth," Qin Feiyang said with a faint smile. He looked at Lu Hong and asked, "Are you tired now?"

"Not really," Lu Hong replied.

Qin Feiyang said, "Then take a trip to the Resource Hall and help me buy some ingredients for Battle Intent Pills. Be careful on the road."

"I doubt anyone would be foolish enough to cause trouble for me now, right?" Lu Hong chuckled, then opened the stone door and left briskly.

The Wolf King sidled up to Qin Feiyang, an ingratiating smile on its face. "Xiao Qinzi, when do you plan to help your big bro refine the Transformation Pill and Barrier Breaking Pill?"

Qin Feiyang rolled his eyes at it. "You’re the only one in a hurry." He walked over to the Pill Furnace and took out the ingredients for a Barrier Breaking Pill and a Transformation Pill. These were, naturally, the ones Fatty had sorted out. Having Fatty sort out the ingredients really did save him a lot of time.

After several hundred breaths, the Barrier Breaking Pill and Transformation Pill were finally ready. The Wolf King impatiently swallowed them both.

The next instant, its colossal body began to emit a brilliant light, like a dazzling full moon, illuminating the entire Alchemy Chamber. Qin Feiyang stepped back, watching curiously.

Suddenly, he gasped!

He saw the Wolf King’s body steadily shrinking.

Four meters!

Three meters!

Two meters!

One meter!

Half a meter!

Until finally, it was no bigger than a baby’s palm.

Amazing, Qin Feiyang muttered.

"HAHA..." "Big Bro is finally small!" The Wolf King stood upright on the ground, inspected itself, and burst into laughter. But then, it covered its mouth with a paw, its eyes filled with astonishment. It could really talk now?
