CHAPTER 1160: CHAPTER 1160: FIERY ATMOSPHERE

Zhuang Lianyi and the others were somewhat puzzled.

This Senior Yan Jin had previously helped them refine elixirs, charging fees even lower than the standard rates within the Divine Domain. But when it came to helping those two refine the Qu Luo Pill, why charge double the fee?

Listening to the whispers around him, Jing Yan didn’t show any anxiety.

Those two, seeing the support they received, their earlier dejected expressions vanished instantly.

"I indeed charged you forty million first-level divine crystals for the alchemy fee, and you did indeed pay me forty million first-level divine crystals." Jing Yan said slowly, unhurriedly.

"However, if you were dissatisfied with the fee I charged and thought it too high, then why were you willing to pay forty million first-level divine crystals?" Jing Yan suddenly asked.

The people around, hearing Jing Yan’s question, were taken aback.

Yes, if you weren’t satisfied with the alchemy fee, why did you pay?

Since you paid the alchemy fee, why act so relentless after getting the elixir?

Some quick-thinking individuals had already vaguely guessed the issue.

"Why are you silent now?"

"Since you’re not speaking, let me speak for you!"

"The two of you indeed didn’t want to pay the forty million alchemy fee. The only reason you paid is that you never believed I could refine the Qu Luo Pill you requested."

"According to our agreement, if I couldn’t refine the Qu Luo Pill, I would have to return the forty million first-level divine crystals and compensate you with fifty million first-level divine crystals for material costs."

"From the start, you intended to extort me!"

Jing Yan’s voice deepened, and the last sentence was suddenly shouted.

The two men trembled violently, feeling an oppressive aura emanating from Jing Yan towards them. A deep chill spread throughout their bodies.

Having said this, Jing Yan did not stop and continued to speak.

"Fellow Daoists, the Radiant Pill Store undertakes the refinement of various elixirs. Even for high-level divine pills, as long as you can provide the materials, you can negotiate the refinement here. As for the cost, you needn’t worry; if dissatisfied with the fee, you can choose to forgo it. Furthermore, these fellow Daoists have previously sought my help in refining elixirs and are quite satisfied with the fees charged," Jing Yan finally glanced at Zhuang Lianyi and the others.

"Haha, I previously requested Senior Yan Jin to refine a furnace of Golden Que Pill and a furnace of Bi Quan Pill. These intermediate divine pills have known refinement costs in the Divine Domain. At Senior Yan Jin’s place, both furnaces cost only twenty million first-level divine crystals," Zhuang Lianyi fittingly stepped forward.

"Golden Que Pill and Bi Quan Pill, both furnaces only for twenty million first-level divine crystals?"

"That’s... really cheap!"

"Indeed, it’s cheap; even within the White Sand Divine Domain, this price is hard to beat unless you have a good relationship with the divine pill master."

"Wait! Just now, Senior Yan Jin mentioned... that even high-level divine pills can be refined?" Someone suddenly recalled what Jing Yan had said earlier.

Could it be that this Senior Yan Jin is a high-level divine pill master?

Isn’t this too absurd?

As soon as the martial artist finished speaking, the surrounding crowd fell into a sudden silence.

A myriad of shocked gazes turned towards Jing Yan.

A high-level divine pill master, in any Divine Domain, is as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. At least within a low-level Divine Domain, there aren’t many high-level divine pill masters.

A high-level divine pill master appearing in the lower cabins of the Void Divine Ship is simply outrageous!

"Senior Yan Jin, could you really be a high-level divine pill master?" someone regained their composure and asked Jing Yan in a shocked tone.

"Well, I can indeed refine some high-level divine pills. This fellow Daoist, do you perhaps wish to refine a high-level divine pill?" Jing Yan asked with a smile.

"I don’t have those exorbitant materials; that’s for high-level True Gods or even Main God strong people. I, a low-level True God, can’t afford it," the person said, his face flushed, but his eyes sparkling.

"Fellow Daoists, seeking Senior Yan Jin for alchemy is the right choice. We might not need high-level divine pills for now, but low-level and intermediate divine pills are of great help to us. Every furnace of elixirs that Senior Yan Jin helped me refine contained three high-quality pills. In the Divine Domain, it’s rare to find a divine pill master like this," Zhuang Lianyi spoke again.

"How impressive!"

"It seems Senior Yan Jin really is a high-level divine pill master."

"..."

The atmosphere inside the Pill Shop was extremely lively.

Meanwhile, the two martial artists who intended to extort stood there as if attending a funeral, their faces ashen.

Having been oppressed by Jing Yan’s aura, they realized his martial arts cultivation was definitely higher than theirs, filled with dread they couldn’t shake off. Upon learning that Jing Yan might be a high-level divine pill master, their last bit of courage vanished without a trace.

This time, they could only consider themselves unlucky.

"You two, why haven’t you left yet? Do I need to ask you to leave?" Jing Yan’s gaze once again focused on those two.

"We’re leaving now. Senior Yan Jin, we apologize for any offense. Please forgive us," they spoke hurriedly, then quickly rushed out of the Pill Shop without looking back.

"Senior Yan Jin, can we request your alchemy services now?" Someone couldn’t wait any longer to ask Jing Yan for alchemy.

"Not now. Let’s say, in a day, Radiant Pill Store will officially accept alchemy requests. One day later, interested Daoists can come to Radiant Pill Store and discuss with Fellow Daoist Gui Ben," Jing Yan said to everyone, cupping his hands.

Upon hearing Jing Yan’s words, some appeared disappointed. However, knowing they’d only have to wait a day was something they could accept easily.

"Then I shall take my leave first."

"Since Senior Yan Jin has other matters to attend to, I’ll not intrude further."

The people in the shop gradually took their leave, planning to return to Radiant Pill Store a day later, bright and early. Certainly, not all harbored no doubts, as a significant number still lacked faith in Jing Yan’s alchemy ability. While they wished to refine elixirs, they decided to wait and see if this Senior Yan Jin truly possessed noteworthy skill in alchemy.

Zhuang Lianyi and his companions were the last to bid farewell to Jing Yan. Jing Yan indeed had a good impression of them, and before they left, he made a promise that as long as he was in the lower cabins, their requests for alchemy would be prioritized.

For this, Zhuang Lianyi and company were immensely grateful.
