Xiao Yan's Contrasting Attitude, and Everyone's Deep Regret
Of all grades of pills, healing pills are the lowest quality, amplification pills are common, and those with special effects are more valuable.
Pills that enhance cultivation are undoubtedly the most valuable.
For example, the Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pill can enhance the cultivation of Da Dou Shi and Dou Ling, Imperial Extreme Pill can enhance the cultivation of One-Star Dou Emperor, etc.
Even if the Ice-Fire Energy Gathering Pill refined by Xiao Yan only improves the cultivation level of a low- Dou Zong, its value is definitely among the top of all Tier 7 Medicinal Pill.
It's no exaggeration to say that such a single bullet could potentially buy the entire Jia Ma Empire.
After all, such a pill could easily make a low- Dou Zong serve him for a long time, and there were so many things he could do with it.
Thinking about it this way, Xiao Yan, who can refine such a pill, has an immeasurable influence.
In an instant, many Alchemist and family heads in the VIP seats began to regret their actions.
They could have easily overheard Xiao Yan's conversation with Jia Xingtian and Fama in the air.
They understood perfectly well that Xiao Yan was rewarding Fama and Jia Xingtian because of their willingness to rush forward.
This shows that Xiao Yan is a person who values loyalty and righteousness extremely. If they had rushed to protect Xiao Yan not long ago, they would have been recognized by Xiao Yan and gained Xiao Yan favor.
But they didn't cherish this opportunity.
Whatever the reason, they ultimately did not do the same thing as Yun Yun and the other three.
"Sigh... sigh... sigh!" Nalan Jie couldn't stop sighing.
He was just overthinking things at the time, wondering if he might really lose his life if he tried to save Xiao Yan, and whether he would get anything in return for saving Xiao Yan.
Within seconds, Yun Yun, Hai Bodong, and the others rushed forward.
He was worried that if he fell behind, Xiao Yan would think that his heart was not pure, so he simply decided not to set off.
Unexpectedly, Yun Yun and the others did nothing, and Xiao Yan stopped them directly.
He wasn't injured at all and even gained Xiao Yan's approval.
If he had known this would happen, he would have been the first to rush forward!
Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs".
Misty Cloud Sect.
In a secret room on the back mountain.
Yun Shan sat cross-legged on the cushion and suddenly opened his eyes.
Beside him, a cloud of black mist slowly condensed.
"Yun Shan, did you sense it? That immense power of thunder," the black mist spoke, its voice unlike any human's, cold and hoarse.
Yun Shan opened his eyes, looked towards the direction of the Imperial Capital's Imperial Plaza, and frowned, saying, "What happened to cause such a powerful heavenly lightning strike?"
The black mist chuckled unconsciously, "Hehehe, back in Central Plains, I once saw a Seventh-Rank Alchemist refine pills."
The Alchemist refined a Tier 7 Medicinal Pill, which triggered Pill Lightning.
That Pill Lightning was exactly the same as the heavenly thunder, except that its power was slightly different.
The Alchemist refined a High Seventh Grade pill, but this is somewhat inferior.
Yun Shan completely ignored the last sentence spoken by the black mist. Upon hearing that the thunder was caused by the birth of a Tier 7 Medicinal Pill, his eyes lit up. "Tier 7 Medicinal Pill?!"
The black mist confirmed, "Indeed, Tier 7 Medicinal Pill, and according to my senses, it seems to have originated from the Imperial Plaza of the Jia Ma Imperial Family."
"Protector have other matters to attend to. Now, go and find out who refined this pill, who has it, and what its effects are. Do you understand?"
Yun Shan, who had been given the order, frowned, suppressing the anger in his eyes, and said, "I will come out of seclusion immediately and mobilize manpower to find out the truth about these issues."
The black mist stared at Yun Shan for a few seconds, until Yun Shan turned his head slightly, looking somewhat uneasy, before he coldly snorted, "Hmph, don't try anything funny, otherwise, I can make you break through to the Dou Zong, or I can make you return to being an ant!"
Yun Shan clenched his fist, then relaxed it, and obediently replied, "Yes."
"That would be perfect, hehehe." The black mist slowly dissipated and disappeared into the secret chamber.
The Alchemist Conference officially began after Xiao Yan finished refining the medicine.
He sat in the main seat, and this time no one felt anything was amiss.
Ren Fama is the president of the Alchemist Guild and a peak Dou Emperor expert.
Ren Nijia Jia Xingtian is Imperial Family guardian and a peak Dou Emperor powerhouse.
Even combined, their combined influence doesn't match that of Xiao Yan's title of Seventh-Rank Alchemist.
The Alchemist and family heads in the VIP section all tried to curry favor with Xiao Yan Xiao Yan, wanting to befriend him, and quite a few even offered to completely submit to him.
Even Gu He lowered his stance and humbly asked, "I wonder if Master Yan Xiao has the time? I have some questions about alchemy that I don't understand. Would Master Yan Xiao be willing to answer them? I am willing to offer you a satisfactory reward."
Xiao Yan waved his hand, refusing, "The competition is in progress, focus on the matches and don't get distracted."
If he treated Gu He this way, Xiao Yan was even more perfunctory towards everyone else.
He was just polite and didn't say anything harsh to force them to back down.
Which side should we choose?
Xiao Yan doesn't need it at all.
With his influence as Seventh-Rank Alchemist, many families would be willing to pledge allegiance to him.
If you want to send him something, you have to wait in line.
Moreover, these families at most only have Dou Ling to govern, and are only about the same size as the Mo Clan. Even if they were willing to offer resources, he wouldn't be interested.
In contrast.
Xiao Yan's attitude towards Hai Bodong, Fama, and Jia Xingtian was completely different.
When the three spoke to him, they responded promptly, and when they saw Yao Ye refining medicine on the field, they would even offer special praise.
This stark contrast in attitude caused a pang of heartache to those who had not made the right decision.
Had they known it would be so easy to gain the friendship of a Seventh-Rank Alchemist, especially one Seventh-Rank Alchemist valued relationships so highly, they would have set off then no matter what.
Soft sighs echoed from all over the VIP section.
Xiao Yan ignored it and leisurely watched the conference proceed.
Without his variable, the outstanding contestants in the entire Alchemist Conference were basically those geniuses who had already made a name for themselves.
For example, Liu Ling, Yao Yue, etc...
The reason I say "basically" is not "all".
It was because a 'young' genius named Yan Li suddenly appeared.
His alchemy skills far surpassed everyone present; his level even made Chermi's expression solemn.
This Alchemist from the Chu Yun Empire has truly humiliated the Alchemist of the Jia Ma Empire.
However, Xiao Yan knew that Yan Li had clearly taken the Restoration Pill and disguised himself as a young genius to participate in the Alchemist Conference, hoping to humiliate the Alchemist Guild of the Jia Ma Empire.
Xiao Yan originally didn't care about him.
But not long ago, Fama was willing to risk his life to save him, so he had already considered Fama one of his own.
Since this tyrant is bullying people, and has even bullied his own people, he naturally won't sit idly by.
So he stood up.
A surge of Soul Power pulled Yan Li from the crowd of Alchemist in the Square, gripping his neck and coldly saying, "Restoration Pill? They're certainly willing to invest."
"Find the antidote yourself and take it, or let me do it? The choice is yours!"
