Chapter 223: Wood Spirit Divine Body!

[A/N: We are just a few more golden tickets away from reaching another milestone!!]

Finally, it was Feng Lingxiao of the Fengyun Holy Land, who emphasized the importance of Divine Soul power in the process of pill condensation, with clear viewpoints.

The discourses of the three received nods of approval from many present.

Holy Lord Yao Feng also nodded slightly but didn’t comment much, only saying warmly:

"Not bad, you three young friends all have unique insights into the Dao of Alchemy. I hope you will practice and comprehend diligently in the future and reach a higher level."

Next, three Holy Sons and one Saintess from the Myriad Medicine Sacred Land spoke in turn.

Their insights were obviously deeper than those of Ye Wuhen and the other two.

Whether it was the ideas for Pill Formula innovation or the proposed improvements to ancient Alchemy techniques, they all showed the deep foundation of being successors to an Alchemy Holy Land, drawing applause from the whole hall.

The smile on Yao Feng’s face grew even wider, clearly quite satisfied, but he still encouraged them:

"You still need to calm your minds. In the path of Alchemy, you have only just caught a glimpse of the threshold."

Finally, everyone’s eyes focused simultaneously on Yao Xian, who had been as quiet as an immortal from beginning to end.

Yao Xian stood up gracefully and bowed slightly to the surroundings, her movements elegant and natural.

She didn’t directly explain a specific technique but started from the essence of the ’Dao of Alchemy’, exploring the resonance between the spirituality of plants and the Laws of heaven and earth.

She mainly explained how to induce natural power to merge into the pill embryo, giving the Medicinal Pill a spiritual rhythm that transcends its grade.

Her voice was ethereal and pleasant, and every word seemed to contain some kind of Dao rhythm, leaving everyone entranced.

Many Alchemists who had been stuck for a long time showed wild joy, as if they had been enlightened and gained new realizations.

Even Holy Lord Yao Feng, sitting in the main seat, had a flash of amazement in his eyes and sighed while clapping:

"Wonderful! Truly wonderful! Xian’er’s discourse has already touched the essence of the Dao of Alchemy; even I, as your Master, feel I have benefited much."

These words were not entirely polite; Yao Xian’s talent and Comprehension in Alchemy had indeed surpassed her Master.

Mu Qing, listening from the side, couldn’t help but sigh inwardly:

"This girl is indeed a monstrous talent. Her understanding of Alchemy far exceeds her peers, and even many old fellows can’t compare..."

He subconsciously turned his head, wanting to see his Disciple’s reaction, but this look almost made him blow his top.

Chen Chuan, this fellow, seemed as if he was an outsider.

He was bowing his head, concentrating on dealing with a plate of crystal-clear Glazed Jade Crystal Fruits in front of him, eating so intently that he seemed to have completely missed Yao Xian’s brilliant discourse.

Mu Qing’s old face turned black, and he inconspicuously raised his hand and gave Chen Chuan a light slap on the back of his head.

At the same time, he transmitted his voice: "Stinking brat! Don’t just focus on eating! Get up and bring some honor to your Master!"

Chen Chuan was startled by the slap, looked up with a spiritual fruit still in his mouth, and vaguely transmitted back: "Master, I’m too lazy to get involved in this kind of child’s play."

Hearing this, Mu Qing was speechless, both angry and amused in his heart.

This Disciple of his was truly arrogant, but this heartless appearance somehow suited his taste.

However, in the current situation, if he didn’t show off, he wouldn’t be able to swallow that breath.

So, while everyone was still savoring Yao Xian’s discourse and no one was paying attention, Mu Qing secretly gave Chen Chuan a kick, signaling him with a fierce gaze to get up quickly.

Their little Master-disciple movements might fool ordinary people, but how could they escape the eyes of Hai Yan, Wang Shishan, and Ye Qingfeng, who had been staring at them?

A sharp light flashed in Wang Shishan’s eyes, and he immediately seized the opportunity, laughing loudly:

"Holy Lord Yao Feng, Fellow Daoists, we are here discussing Alchemy and expressing our opinions; it’s truly wonderful. However, everyone seems to have forgotten another young hero."

Hai Yan immediately understood and followed up:

"Brother Wang is talking about young friend Chen Chuan of the Taiyi Holy Land, right?"

"Yes, yes. Elder Mu Qing is full of praise for him, claiming his Alchemy attainment makes even him feel inferior, and even claimed he would compete for the champion’s spot in this Pill Refining Assembly!"

He deliberately distorted and exaggerated, raising the "top three" Mu Qing mentioned directly to "competing for the champion’s spot."

Ye Qingfeng also added indifferently: "Since he has such confidence, young friend Chen Chuan must have some shocking insights into Alchemy. Why not take this opportunity to let us broaden our horizons?"

The three of them played along, instantly shifting all the focus to Chen Chuan.

Hearing this, Holy Lord Yao Feng also turned his gaze, with a faint smile, toward Mu Qing and Chen Chuan.

He naturally remembered Mu Qing’s previous Disciple who exploded the pill, and his eyes inevitably carried a hint of playfulness.

And the three Holy Sons and one Saintess of the Myriad Medicine Sacred Land now looked at Chen Chuan with undisguised disdain and hostility.

They considered themselves the cream of the crop among the younger generation in Alchemy; except for Senior Sister Yao Xian, no one could surpass them. Now that someone was being praised like this, they wanted to see what this kid was capable of.

Only Yao Xian’s beautiful face remained calm and rippleless.

Only her clear eyes carried a hint of pure curiosity as she looked at Chen Chuan, who had been burying his head in eating spiritual fruits.

Mu Qing was being roasted on the fire by the three, his face turning blue and white, but since things had come to this, he must not back down.

He stood up abruptly, bit the bullet, and said loudly with full confidence:

"That’s right! My Disciple Chen Chuan’s talent in Alchemy is indeed unprecedented; even I feel inferior."

"His insights will definitely be extraordinary."

After saying that, seeing Chen Chuan still sitting, he kicked him again in secret, out of anger.

Chen Chuan had no choice but to be kicked, so he slowly stuffed the last Glazed Jade Crystal Fruit into his mouth, chewed it thoroughly, and swallowed.

Then he clapped his hands, tidied his slightly wrinkled green robe, and finally stood up slowly.

His gaze was calm, even a bit lazy, scanning the room, finally settling on Yao Xian.

A slightly arrogant arc curled at the corner of his mouth, and his voice clearly spread through the hall:

"What you all said just now sounds logical, but in my, Chen’s, ears, your insights and comprehensions of the Dao of Alchemy have only touched the surface; you have not grasped its true essence."

One sentence stirred up a thousand waves!

The hall was instantly in an uproar!

He actually belittled the insights of all the young talents present, including the Holy Sons and Saintesses of the Myriad Medicine Sacred Land, as mere superficiality?

Without waiting for anyone to refute, Chen Chuan looked directly at Yao Xian, who was slightly frowning, his tone flat but carrying an unquestionable meaning:

"Especially what Saintess Yao Xian just discussed about inducing natural power to merge into the pill embryo—the idea is good, but unfortunately not comprehensive enough. You only have the form, not the spirit."

"It seems the Saintess still needs to put more effort into the Dao of Alchemy."

Boom!

The entire reception hall completely exploded!
