CHAPTER 1261: CHAPTER 1261: YOU WILL REGRET THIS!

The coldness within him filled his entire chest. He squinted his eyes, staring at Xiao Wangyue.

He was truly disappointed in this person. Ah, humans! It’s not scary to make a mistake, but what’s scary is knowing your mistake and refusing to admit it!

Seeing Jing Yan stand up, all eyes in the venue turned to him immediately.

The majority of those present believed that Sect Master Xiao Wangyue was being somewhat excessive. But they were all outsiders and truly could not say much. Besides, even if they did speak up, it would be to no avail.

Xiao Wangyue, a Nine Tripods Main God strong person; with everyone here combined, they probably wouldn’t be able to withstand even a single blow from him.

What could they do?

"I’ve understood Sect Master Xiao’s intention. As for some absurd excuses, there’s no need to deliberately search for them, it’s redundant." Jing Yan’s voice seemed calm, but the thick chill in it caused a shiver from the depths of one’s heart.

Jing Yan was indeed thoroughly disappointed!

"Mr. Yan Jin..." Hao Yuntian anxiously wanted to speak.

Jing Yan waved his hand and said to Hao Yuntian, "Domain Master Yun Tian, you don’t need to say anything. After all, you were once a disciple of the Yunxia Sect."

These words were reminding Hao Yuntian not to attract criticism behind his back.

Hao Yuntian opened his mouth but finally refrained from saying more, only slamming his palm fiercely onto the table, making a ’bang’ sound.

"Mr. Yan Jin, your understanding is appreciated." Xiao Wangyue said, automatically filtering out Jing Yan’s sarcasm.

Then, Xiao Wangyue gave Qi Mei Sect Master a glance.

Qi Mei bit her lips and turned her jade hand over, revealing a jade bottle.

She stepped forward from behind her seat and came to Jing Yan.

"Mr. Yan Jin, this is a token of gratitude, please accept it." She handed the jade bottle to Jing Yan with both hands.

Jing Yan casually took the bottle and opened it for a look.

"Daozhen Stone Milk? Haha, not bad, this is a good thing. Then I shall accept it." Jing Yan put the jade bottle away.

The jade bottle contained about ten drops of Daozhen Stone Milk. In the God Realm, Daozhen Stone Milk is an extremely precious resource, even for Jing Yan, it’s very significant and incredibly rare. Previously, Jing Yan only had five drops of Daozhen Stone Milk left on him.

"Mr. Yan Jin, I am truly... very sorry." Qi Mei Sect Master’s heart was filled with immense regret towards Jing Yan.

Jing Yan waved his hand and said, "Sect Master Qi Mei, there’s no need for such apologies. You’re not the Great Sect Master of the sect. Besides, I treated the Lan Wood Spiritual Root of Yunxia Sect firstly on the account of the Cloud Sky Domain Master, and secondly because of your personal invitation. Although the quota for the Immortal Bridge Meeting is important to me, I never had the intention to leverage it, otherwise, I would have brought it up before treating the Lan Wood Spiritual Root."

Although Jing Yan was smiling as he spoke, it was evident to everyone that he was deeply disappointed.

Qi Mei Sect Master sighed deeply in her heart.

"Mr. Yan Jin, perhaps... you should try your luck with other forces to see if you can secure a quota." Xiao Wangyue, upon hearing Jing Yan’s undertones of contempt, felt somewhat annoyed as well.

"Is that so? Perhaps!" Jing Yan’s mouth curled into a cold smile, "Sect Master Xiao, I can almost foresee that you will regret this deeply. Regret today’s decision immensely!"

Jing Yan’s tone grew serious with the last few words.

"Haha! Regret? I, Xiao Wangyue, never regret. Mr. Yan Jin, there’s no need to worry about me." Xiao Wangyue understood the hidden meaning in Jing Yan’s words.

"Then we’ll see!" Jing Yan said, "Farewell!"

As the words fell, Jing Yan was already heading towards the exit of the Great Hall. With the situation developing to this point, Jing Yan had no desire to stay any longer.

We’ll see!

These four words struck hard on Xiao Wangyue’s heart. His face twisted into a cruellike expression.

"I would like to see what you will have me watching for!" Xiao Wangyue’s deep voice came from behind Jing Yan.

After Jing Yan left, Hao Yuntian also quickly bid farewell, followed by Building Owner Gu Cuo, and Pill Master Jie An.

Then, some high-level Divine Pill Masters also stood up and left. This banquet no longer had any taste, even if the drinks and food here were exceptionally rare, few had the mood to continue indulging.

"Great Sect Master, you..." Qi Mei looked at Xiao Wangyue with eyes filled with rare anger.

"Second Sect Master, don’t say any more."

"You saw Yan Jin’s attitude! What did he say at the end? I will regret it! And that I should just watch! Haha, I’d like to see how I would regret it. He treated the Lan Wood Spiritual Root of the sect, and indeed I am grateful to him. But this is not a reason for him to ride over my head." Xiao Wangyue snarled coldly.

Qi Mei shook her head and said no more.

...

Day by day passed.

The name Yan Jin became thoroughly popular throughout the Vast Smoke Divine Realm.

"What? He competed against Pill Master Zhenqing and won completely?"

"How is this possible? Pill Master Zhenqing is a top-tier high-level Divine Pill Master who once won the grand prize in the Pill Discussion Conference. How could he lose to a pill master named Yan Jin?"

"Is this true? That Yan Jin, also healed the Lan Wood Spiritual Root of Yunxia Sect? The Lan Wood Spiritual Root that even Pill Master Zhenqing couldn’t handle?"

"This... this..."

"No, I must set off immediately to Cloud Mist City to visit this Yan Jin Alchemist. It would be great if I could have the opportunity to ask him to refine a batch of Elixirs."

The reputation of Yan Jin Alchemist skyrocketed in the Vast Smoke Divine Realm for a time.

And gradually, it even began spreading to other nearby Divine Domains.

As time went on, the number of Martial Artists visiting Jing Yan increased significantly. Lately, Jing Yan stayed at the Piaomiao Pill Tower, and among those visitors, he would only meet those with considerable influence, ignoring others as he simply couldn’t meet them all.

Perhaps a few months later, on this day, Building Owner Gu Cuo hurriedly came to Jing Yan’s room.

"Mr. Yan Jin, a distinguished guest has arrived!" Building Owner Gu Cuo said, slightly excited.

A person that could make Building Owner Gu Cuo show signs of excitement; there wouldn’t be many like that in the entire Vast Smoke Divine Realm. Jing Yan immediately sensed that there might indeed be a distinguished figure at Piaomiao Pill Tower, specifically coming to see him, otherwise, Building Owner Gu Cuo wouldn’t be in such a rush to come over.

"Oh? Which distinguished person has arrived?" Jing Yan stood up and asked.

"Xuanqing Sect!"

"Mr. Yan Jin, the Great Sect Master of Xuanqing Sect, has come personally!" Building Owner Gu Cuo replied rapidly.

"Xuanqing Sect?" Jing Yan’s eyes narrowed.

Xuanqing Sect, he had been in the Vast Smoke Divine Realm for a while, naturally knowing of this vast sect. It was one of the three major forces in Vast Smoke Divine Realm, just like Yunxia Sect. And now, the Great Sect Master from Xuanqing Sect had personally come to the city controlled by Yunxia Sect, Cloud Mist City, to meet with him.
