Chapter 234: Difficulty
At this time, Yao Changsheng would not be intimidated by Vice President Ouyang’s few words.
A cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
“Vice President Ouyang’s words are incorrect. “
“If the Alchemist Association can truly control the authority of Qingzhou’s Alchemist, then how did the Alchemist of Treasure Gathering Pavilion rise to power?”
“Now we have the same rights and abilities as you as registered alchemists, so we can naturally cultivate such geniuses!”
Before Vice President Ouyang could respond, Yao Changsheng continued, “Moreover, even if the Treasure Gathering Pavilion is not worthy of such geniuses, doesn’t he have Master Dantai Mingjing standing behind him?”
“Does Vice President Ouyang think that Master Dantai Mingjing is not qualified to guide him?”
At this time, both of them had already confirmed that Su Jingzhen had grasped the ‘Dan Heart’.
Yao Changsheng would not give up on Su Jingzhen just because of Vice President Ouyang’s few words.
He had never cared about the internal struggles of the Feng family or who controlled the Feng family or Yunmeng City’s Treasure Gathering Pavilion.As long as the Feng family and the entire Treasure Gathering Pavilion continued to provide them with the necessary medicinal materials, they would naturally be willing to hand over the refined pill medicines to Treasure Gathering Pavilion or the Feng family for processing.
But now, he was grateful to the Feng family for hosting this Alchemist conference.
It allowed them to discover Su Jingzhen, this genius.
However, when Yao Changsheng said this, Vice President Ouyang’s expression slightly froze.
But he soon smiled and said, “Master Dantai Mingjing is naturally qualified to guide him, but I think that if Master Dantai Mingjing is willing to take them under his wing, would he still let them participate in this Alchemist conference?”
This remark made Yao Changsheng pause.
Both of them were old and cunning, and with a little thought, they could understand the situation.
Since Xuening was Dantai Mingjing’s granddaughter, then what kind of talent did Su Jingzhen have, and Dantai Mingjing, a alchemist of that level, could naturally see it at a glance.
Yet, he still let them participate in this Alchemist conference, and there must be other reasons they didn’t know.
At least one reason was that Dantai Mingjing also wanted Su Jingzhen and Xuening to find their own opportunities.
At least on Dantai Mingjing’s side, he should not have the resources to cultivate the two of them anymore.
Before Yao Changsheng could respond, Vice President Ouyang continued, “Moreover, with the foundation of the Alchemist Association, unless it’s during the peak of the Dantai family, otherwise, just relying solely on one Dantai Mingjing would still be unable to compare with the Alchemist Association’s many years of experience and the wisdom of many sages.”
When he said this, Vice President Ouyang’s small eyes still had a hint of arrogance.
But in response, Yao Changsheng smiled and said, “I admit that what you said makes sense.”
“However, in terms of resources, in Qingzhou’s territory, my Treasure Gathering Pavilion is second to none. Who dares to claim first place?”
“If we exhaust all our resources, I’m afraid the Alchemist Association will find it difficult to keep up with us.”
What was originally a normal exchange had suddenly turned into a competition between the two old men.
However, in response to Yao Changsheng’s words, Vice President Ouyang sneered again.
“It’s true that there aren’t many who can rival Treasure Gathering Pavilion in terms of resources, not just in Qingzhou’s territory, but in the entire cultivation world.”
“But does the Pill Master really think that the people in charge of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion would be willing to spare all their resources to cultivate a single alchemist? “
“They do value the alchemist group of Treasure Gathering Pavilion, but not to the point of putting them first, right? “
“Treasure Gathering Pavilion is, after all, just a merchant force, and they have too many concerns. But it’s not the same for the Alchemist Association! “
“If the talent is truly exceptional, the Alchemist Association is willing to spare no resources!”
Vice President Ouyang’s words seemed to have struck a sore spot for Yao Changsheng.
His old face twitched involuntarily.
“In any case, Vice President Ouyang wants me to give up on these two kids easily, but that’s impossible.”
“We’ll wait and see what happens after the Alchemist conference.”
“……”
Meanwhile, as Yao Changsheng and Vice President Ouyang were almost arguing, Feng Mingyan in the Feng family crowd remained silent.
His expression grew increasingly gloomy.
He gazed at Su Jingzhen, who was receiving a lot of applause, and his killing intent had reached its peak.
The other high-ranking members of the Feng family also looked unhappy.
The better Su Jingzhen performed, the more it would humiliate the Feng family.
“It seems impossible to block them from entering the top three this time.”
“Did we really make a mistake in our previous decisions?”
“But there’s no need to panic, these two may be able to refine the Breaking Through Adversity Pill, but it’s still a fourth-grade pill, and it’s not that easy to refine.”
“Let’s think about it from another angle, these two are brought by Miss Feng, and Miss Feng is, after all, a member of the Feng family. “
“After the Alchemist conference, the Feng family naturally has the right to take back everything. “
“So, these two may still be able to serve the Feng family in the future.”
“The better they perform, the more beneficial it is to the Feng family, isn’t it?”
“……”
At this time, many people in the Feng family crowd were also muttering to themselves.
At this time, most of the people sitting here were from Feng Baozhao’s lineage.
However, their words had already revealed some hidden thoughts.
The Grand Elder sitting in the front row let out a sigh again.
But his face still didn’t show any expression.
He continued to gaze silently at the ten groups of alchemists on stage.
When Su Jingzhen successfully refined three Breaking Through Adversity Pills, Bai Xiu, Ye Zhiqiu and others had also almost succeeded in refining pills of good quality.
Then, Bai Xiu and others followed the rules and operated step by step according to the refining method of Bodhi Breaking Through Adversity Pill.
In the process of refining the medicinal materials, those who could enter the top ten didn’t have too many problems.
Even high-grade medicinal materials like Bodhi liquid were easily refined by Bai Xiu and others.
The Bodhi Breaking Through Adversity Pill, as a fourth-grade pill, was difficult to refine because it required the fusion of too many medicinal materials – a total of 48.
Moreover, this pill was based on the Breaking Through Adversity Pill, and these medicinal materials needed to be further infused and fused onto the Breaking Through Adversity Pill.
This would cause a change in the medicinal properties!
The Breaking Through Adversity Pill was already a finished product, and if one was not careful when adding other medicinal materials, it would easily be damaged in an instant.
For the other nine groups of alchemists, refining the Breaking Through Adversity Pill was already a time-consuming and laborious process.
The time and energy required to recover from a single failure were enormous.
So, although the time limit was until sunset, many people could only attempt it a few times.
About an hour later, a faint, burnt smell accompanied by a wisp of blue smoke began to emanate from Bai Xiu’s and others’ alchemy furnaces.
Only Su Jingzhen and Xuening had not yet started attempting to fuse the medicinal materials.
The two of them were still continuously refining those medicinal materials.
