Chapter 721 - 720: I Am an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 721: Chapter 720: I Am an Alchemy Grandmaster

Su Kaifeng’s words sparked some dissatisfaction among the crowd, but the majority were welcoming. Yi Tianyun’s power was simply too formidable. If he were to join the Sealing Heaven Divine Kingdom, their strength would undoubtedly increase significantly.

After all, he had single-handedly suppressed two elders, which proved just how terrifying his power was. To put it bluntly, he was already at the level of an elder the moment he arrived.

His talent was even more heaven-defying than Yi Xingchen’s. At most, Yi Tianyun was only in his early twenties. A Saint King Stage expert in their early twenties was something they couldn’t even dare to imagine. It was simply a miracle.

"We’ll talk about that after my father is saved," Yi Tianyun replied, not giving an immediate answer. He would wait for his father to wake up and see what Yi Xingchen had to say then.

’In principle, I have no desire to join the Sealing Heaven Divine Kingdom. My impression of this place is terrible, and with the disciples of the First and Third Elders still here, I might even get ambushed if I stay.’

’Besides, I have my own faction. I only came to the Celestial Realm to bring Shi Xueyun back. The rest has nothing to do with me.’

’But for now, I want to wait for my father to wake up before making any decisions. Everything else can wait.’

"Of course. I watched Xingchen grow up, so we must save him." Su Kaifeng walked to the side of the crystal coffin and examined it for a moment before nodding grimly. "It is indeed the Bloodthirsty Poison—an incredibly vicious toxin. It’s extremely difficult to detect under normal circumstances. Only when it flares up does the victim realize they’ve been poisoned. Colorless and odorless, it’s virtually impossible to sense. To think they managed to get their hands on such a terrifying poison and use it on Yi Xingchen..."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the many disciples changed. Quite a few had heard of this poison. The Bloodthirsty Poison didn’t require a large dose; a single, tiny drop was enough. Colorless and odorless. Once poisoned, it wouldn’t take long to activate, completely suppressing the victim’s Blood Qi. At that point, they wouldn’t even be able to burn their Essence Blood.

As time went on, their Blood Qi would grow weaker and weaker until they were little more than a cripple. The cure was difficult, but it didn’t normally require ingredients like Blood-Drinking Grass; it wasn’t usually that extreme.

However, Yi Xingchen’s situation was now extremely dire. The Bloodthirsty Poison was already deeply rooted, which was why those precious Spirit Medicines were needed to save him. The standard formula was useless. If it had worked, Yi Xingchen wouldn’t still be lying here.

"Yes. When Xingchen was first poisoned, we had to fight our way out, which caused the poison to seep even deeper into his body. We were hiding everywhere back then and had no time to look for an antidote. By the time we found a safe place, the poison had completely permeated his system, and ordinary antidotes had no effect at all. I’ve been searching for a better cure for so long..."

Jiao Linghe’s eyes filled with resentment. Even though the First and Third Elders were dead, she was still furious.

They were only trying to leave this damned place. Who did they provoke? They hadn’t brought any harm to the Sealing Heaven Divine Kingdom. At most, they just fled. They never even thought about taking revenge on the Sealing Heaven Divine Kingdom.

Who would have thought the two elders would hunt them down to exterminate them, leaving them no chance to even recover?

"It wasn’t just Xingchen who was poisoned. They even secretly poisoned Tianyun! What are their hearts made of?" Jiao Linghe roared. "We made a mistake, yes, but does that give them the right to treat us like this?!"

She shrieked hysterically, her voice filled with not only fury but also profound sorrow.

Everyone fell silent. It was undeniable that Jiao Linghe’s family had been in the wrong, but their mistake didn’t warrant death. In the end, they became sacrifices in a power struggle, hunted down mercilessly by the two elders.

"This was a failure of my leadership..." Su Kaifeng admitted readily, sighing deeply. "Regardless, that’s all in the past. What matters now is figuring out how to cure the poison. We don’t have the Blood-Drinking Grass or the Royal Phoenix Essence Blood. We only have the Celestial Fragrance Divine Grass."

"The Blood-Drinking Grass... I just recently obtained it." Jiao Linghe took out the stalk of Blood-Drinking Grass. The surging Blood Qi it emitted was astonishing—a Rare sixth-grade Spirit Medicine.

"It seems we’re only missing one thing, then. Royal Phoenix Essence Blood is extremely expensive, worth at least three high-grade Sacred Artifacts. The path to the Phoenix Race is currently blocked, making it difficult to trade with them. Our only option is to send a few more experts down to see if a deal can be made. Royal Phoenix Essence Blood is so much more precious than ordinary Phoenix Essence Blood that they might not even trade it for three high-grade Sacred Artifacts..."

Su Kaifeng and the others frowned. Each ingredient was incredibly precious. Three high-grade Sacred Artifacts were an impressive offer, but the Royal Phoenix Essence Blood was even more valuable.

"Royal Phoenix Essence Blood? As it happens, I have some."

Yi Tianyun stepped forward and took out a drop of Royal Phoenix Essence Blood. He had only needed to absorb one drop before, and he had saved the other for someone else. Who knew it would end up being used here?

"It really is Royal Phoenix Essence Blood! How did you get that?"

Everyone was inwardly shaken. They had thought it would take a monumental effort to acquire, yet Yi Tianyun had it on hand all along.

"I helped the Phoenix Race before, so they gifted this Essence Blood to me," Yi Tianyun explained simply.

The crowd’s jaws dropped. Although they didn’t know what he had done to help, it must have been something major. Royal Phoenix Essence Blood was so incredibly expensive that it wasn’t a reward one could get for some ordinary favor.

’So, does this mean Yi Tianyun has a good relationship with the Phoenix Race?’

Jiao Linghe was taken aback for a moment. Then, she recalled the Blue Phoenix and smiled faintly, saying nothing. ’He even has a Phoenix with him. That’s more than enough to show how good his relationship is.’ She didn’t say it out loud, as there was no need.

"Good, good, good!" Yi Yuanlong exclaimed in delight. "In that case, we’ve gathered all three Spirit Medicines! We can start the Alchemy right away!"

Jiao Linghe was also overjoyed. She had thought it would take more time, but now they didn’t have to wait. They could refine the Elixir Pill immediately.

"Mm, refining this Antitoxic Pill requires a high-level Alchemist, at least at the Master level," Su Kaifeng said gravely. "We only have one chance. There won’t be a second."

If the Alchemy failed, the ingredients would be reduced to dregs, and they would have to find all the materials again. They were already incredibly Rare; if they failed, it would be a disaster.

Everyone nodded. They had to find a high-level Alchemist.

"Leave this to me. I’ll go to Medicine God Valley and invite an Alchemy Master to perform the Alchemy. An Alchemy Grandmaster would be too difficult to invite..." Su Kaifeng said in a low voice. "But I’ll do my best to invite a Grandmaster. It will just come at a price."

"The Sealing Heaven Divine Kingdom doesn’t even have a single Alchemy Grandmaster, or even an Alchemy Master?" Yi Tianyun asked doubtfully.

As soon as he said this, an awkward silence fell over the crowd. They indeed had no Alchemy Masters, let alone an Alchemy Grandmaster.

"How could it be so easy to become an Alchemy Master? You really think they grow on trees? You’re so strong, aren’t you? If you’ve got the skill, why don’t you try refining it yourself?" a dissonant voice jeered from the side, clearly displeased with him.

These people were likely from the First Elder’s or Third Elder’s faction. Although they couldn’t make a move physically, there was nothing stopping them from throwing out a few sarcastic barbs.

Without so much as a glance, Yi Tianyun casually waved his hand. With a loud SLAP, the person was sent flying, their face swelling up instantly.

"If you have a problem with me, you can step up and challenge me to a one-on-one duel. Don’t just stand back and point fingers," Yi Tianyun said, looking calmly at the group. "But since you brought it up... I happen to be an Alchemy Grandmaster. I really can refine it myself."
