After returning to Nine Heavens Holy Land, Yang Kai immediately summoned Xu Hui and let him send out people to inquire about all kind of recent news.
Yang Kai didnβt tell him what kind of news he wanted the Holy Landβs disciples to seek out, only ordering him to deploy them in all directions with instructions to pay attention to any big events that occurred and then report back a month later.
Xu Hui didnβt ask anything and swiftly executed the command.
From the solemn look on Yang Kaiβs face, Xu Hui detected that this was a significant matter and that the Holy Master had surly discovered something, otherwise he would not have given such an order.
A few days later.
Early in the morning, Yang Kai came to his room and walked over to the bed with light steps.
On the bed, Xia Ning Chang was still sitting in meditation, her tender body motionless, obviously still immersing herself in the True Alchemic Way.
Yang Kai waited quietly for a while, but seeing her not respond at all, he quietly sent his consciousness into her Knowledge Sea.
Seemingly noticing Yang Kaiβs arrival, Little Senior Sisterβs Soul Avatar slowly opened her eyes and wore a beautiful crescent-shaped smile, forming a mesmerising picture.
βHow was your harvest?β Yang Kai asked.
βIβve basically absorbed everything, but Iβll need to practice a little to become familiar with it,β Xia Ning Chang nodded lightly.
Yang Kai nodded back.Β He had delivered the complete contents of the True Alchemic Way to Little Senior Sisterβs Soul Avatar in the form of a Spiritual Energy package which would allow her to directly absorb it, coupled with her own understanding of Alchemy and her exceptional aptitude in the Alchemic Way, completely comprehending the True Alchemic Way within a few days wouldnβt be difficult.
βCome with me, weβll start performing Alchemy now.Β Iβll also introduce you to several Grandmasters while weβre at it,β Yang Kai grinned and took the initiative to withdraw his Soul Avatar.
The next moment, both of them opened their eyes.
Yang Kai and Xia Ning Chang, hand in hand, entered the pill room that had been set up in the Holy Master Court.
The five Grandmasters had long been waiting here, each of them with their own pill furnace set out in front of them.Β Each of these Alchemy furnaces was small yet exquisite, flowing fluorescent lines circling them, obviously not ordinary items, each of them Saint Grade quality.Β A pill furnace was the most important artifact of any Alchemy Grandmaster.
After ten days of rest, these five were now full of energy and anticipation.
Seeing Yang Kai show up, the five Grandmasters all smiled and nodded.
Chang Bao leaned against the wall and joked, βAfter not performing Alchemy these past ten days, this old master actually felt his hands becoming itchy, kid, letβs get started.β
Yang Kai smiled and replied, βI was thinking so too.β
βBut this is a place for Alchemy, what do you want to do by bringing along your beloved woman?Β Could it be you canβt bear to separate from her?β He Feng chuckled and slowly shook his head, βYoung man, your vitality is quite impressive.β
βYou two mustnβt do anything too stimulating in the presence of us old guys, weβre not young anymore, too much excitement wonβt be good for our hearts,β Hong Fang also laughed.
Xia Ning Chang immediately became flustered, turning a helpless, pleading look towards Yang Kai, as if doing so would allow her to have some self-confidence.
βCome here little girl, come and sit by this old lady, donβt pay any attention to these bad old man!βΒ Kong Ruo Yu kindly beckoned to Xia Ning Chang.
Xia Ning Chang looked to Yang Kai once more and upon seeing him nod, she lightly stepped over to Kong Ruo Yu and sat down cross-legged.
βSuch an innocent young lady, with pure, untainted eyes, as if she is untainted by this world, Yang Kai, you cannot mistreat her in the future,β Kong Ruo Yu commented seriously.
βSenior can rest assured, this Junior has only love in his heart for Senior Sister, I will never treat her poorly.β
The five Grandmasters all stared, seemingly not having anticipated that Yang Kai would speak such frank words in front of all of them; however, since he had, it was clear these were his true feelings, or it would have been impossible for him to say as much.
Realizing the depths of Yang Kaiβs feelings for this veiled young lady, they all couldnβt help nodding in approval.
Xia Ning Changβs eyes also became more spirited as a look of happiness filled her face.
βGood, enough idle chit-chat, letβs get started,β Du Wan smiled, finally speaking up to move the situation along.
Yang Kai nodded and called out, βGreat Elder!β
Xu Hui opened the door in the next instant, wearing a serious look upon his face, βSubordinate has prepared everything.β
Saying so, Xu Hui pulled out several batches of herbs and said, βThese are the twenty sets of materials for todayβs pills.Β Many thanks in advance for Holy Master and several Grandmastersβ hard work; when evening arrives, I will return to collect the finished pills.β
βGreat Elder, go out and accept ten more sets of materials,β Yang Kai gave a command.
Xu Hui was stunned, βAccept ten more?β
The five Grandmasters also direct looks of astonishment towards Yang Kai with Chang Bao calling out in shock, βKid, Alchemy is also a matter that requires a balance of work and rest, if oneβs condition deteriorates, they will likely produce an inferior quality pill or possibly even fail altogether.Β You can refine ten pills a day, we have already seen this, but we old fogies can only refine ten as well, how do you intend to handle another ten on top of that?β
βEn, if you canβt refine good pills, it would be better to not refine them at all,β Du Wan also earnestly persuaded.Β Excellent Alchemists also had strict requirements for the pills they refined, if the quality of their work was poor, it would destroy their hard-earned reputation.
Therefore, excellent Alchemists generally would not allow inferior quality pills to circulate outside.Β If they refined such a low-quality pill, they would almost always end up destroying it themselves rather than selling it out.
Yang Kai glanced around at them and smiled, βWhat several Grandmasters say is reasonable, but you need not worry, these additional ten pills wonβt require me to refine them, nor will several Grandmasters need to act.β
βThen who will refine them?βΒ He Feng widened his eyes and suddenly looked towards Xu Hui, his expression filled with suspicion.
Great Elder hurriedly waved his hand and smiled wryly, βGrandmaster does not need to consider me, I only know how to take pills, I am a complete novice in terms of studying the Alchemic Way.β
He Feng slightly nodded, βTrue, you donβt look like someone who knows anything about Alchemy.β
Xu Huiβs face went black, secretly thinking that these Alchemy Grandmasters were really a bit too blunt.
βYang Kaiβ¦β Kong Ruo Yu turned a thoughtful look towards Xia Ning Chang, βAre you planning to tell us that these ten extra pills will be refined by your Senior Sister, right?β
As soon as this statement came out, everyone turned their eyes towards Xia Ning Chang.
Yang Kai however just smiled and nodded, βThatβs exactly what I mean.β
βShe can also refine Saint Pills?βΒ Chang Baoβs eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, hoarsely calling out, βImpossible, her age isnβt much higher than yours. Even if she began studying Alchemy in her motherβs womb, it would still be impossible for her to have the ability to refine Saint Pills.β
Yang Kaiβs mouth twitched as he smiled bitterly, βI didnβt start studying Alchemy in my motherβs wombβ¦β
The five Grandmasters turned somewhat indignant glares towards him and muttered, βYouβre different, you canβt be judged using common sense.β
βIs she really able to refine Saint Pills?β
βThis old master does not believe it.β
βLittle brat, donβt try to play tricks on us, be careful that we old guys get upset with you.β
This was their field of expertise, the skill which defined their existence.Β Being surpassed already by the young Yang Kai could be written off by them as him being one of this worldβs rare geniuses, but if they were to be overtaken by his Senior Sister as well, the several Grandmasters didnβt know what they would think.
At the very least, they would definitely feel depressed, possibly even defeated, and unable to ever recover their confidence againβ¦
βI canβ¦β Xia Ning Chang suddenly declared.
Du Wan brow suddenly rose as he remembered something, turning his eyes to Yang Kai as he asked, βIs she the one you mentioned before, the Senior Sister whose Alchemy talent surpassed your own?β
Back in Grand Boulder City, Yang Kai had once casually mentioned that he had a Senior Sister who was even better at Alchemy than he was.Β Du Wan hadnβt believed him at the time, but now he suddenly recalled it.
Yang Kai nodded.
Du Wan sucked in a deep breath and solemnly stated, βWords are unreliable while seeing is believing. Great Elder, please bring in ten more sets of materials.β
Xu Hui no longer said anymore and quickly left.
A short time later, he returned with ten more sets of materials.
The pill roomβs doors were shut, leaving only the seven people scattered about, sitting cross-legged.
The five Grandmasters were not in a hurry to start refining pills and instead focused all their attention on Xia Ning Chang, all of them quite anxious to see if this little girl was really able to refine Saint Pills as she had said.
Being stared at by these five, Xia Ning Chang couldnβt help turning a timid look towards Yang Kai.
However, she discovered that Yang Kai had already begun to refine a pill and couldnβt help pouting slightly.
βLittle girl, what pill furnace do you use, can you take it out and let this old lady have a look?βΒ Kong Ruo Yu asked kindly, she saw that Xia Ning Chang was somewhat nervous and deliberately tried to ease her mood.
βI donβt have a pill furnace,β Xia Ning Chang replied softly.
βYou donβt have a pill furnace?βΒ The five grandmasters were shocked, Chang Bao muttering in the next moment, βHow can you perform Alchemy without a pill furnace?Β This smelly brat is really taking us old masters for fools, teasing us like that. Does he think we are naΓ―ve five-year-old children? This brat.β
βYou keep quiet!βΒ Kong Ruo Yu shot a glare at him before turning back to Xia Ning Chang with a smile, βYou donβt use a pill furnace for Alchemy?β
Xia Ning Chang gently nodded.
This time, even Kong Ruo Yu couldnβt help wearing a strange expression; although the words she was speaking were somewhat unbelievable, from the pure and limpid light she saw in her eyes, Kong Ruo Yu could tell that this little girl possessed an innocent heart and it was highly unlikely she was lying.
Patiently, she continued to ask, βHow do you usually perform Alchemy?Β Could you demonstrate for us? We old fogies donβt have any other interests other than Alchemy, so we are all very interested in seeing how you refine a Saint Pill without a pill furnace.β
Xia Ning Chang still just nodded, slowly closing her beautiful eyes, seemingly calming her mood.
A short time later, when she opened her eyes again, the several Grandmasters discovered that the temperament of this little girl had undergone a drastic change.
The original Xia Ning Chang was shy and innocent, but now she exuded a sense of self-confidence, without the slightest hint of panic in her eyes, her every movement measured and stable.
Placing a set of Alchemyβs materials in front of herself, she began meticulously inspecting each spirit grass and herb.
βSaint grade materialsβ¦β Kong Ruo Yu whispered softly, βThe first thing she took up were the ingredients for a Saint Pill. Can she really refine Saint Pills?β
The five Grandmasters stared fixedly at Xia Ning Chang.
However, Little Senior Sister no longer showed any nervousness or tension; at this moment, it was as if she had entered her own world, and the only thing she could see was the Saint Pillβs materials in front of her.
Suddenly, Xia Ning Changβs body began emitting a gentle strength.
The moment they felt this energy, the five Grandmasters were all stunned.
