Bang!
Qian Wanguan’s door was heavily kicked open by Jiang Yi, giving a fright to Qian Wanguan who was taking an afternoon nap. When he saw the set of white teeth from Jiang Yi that was covered in black soot, he rolled his eyes and said,
Boss, what are you doing? You almost made my heart jumped out.
Hehe!
Jiang Yi grinned and stretched out his hand, handing over a jade bottle to Qian Wanguan.
Go find a high-graded Elixir Master to appraise the grade and medicinal effects of this elixir.
Elixir?
The chubby face of Qian Wanguan was filled with a doubtful expression. He took a few glances at Jiang Yi and the jade bottle, before asking suspiciously,
Boss. How long have you started elixir refining? You already refined an elixir? What kind of grade is it that requires an Elixir Master to appraise it?
In Qian Wanguan’s opinion, it was already praiseworthy that Jiang Yi could refine an elixir in such a short amount of time. He had just learned how to refine elixirs; how could he possibly produce a superior-grade elixir? At best, it would only be at man-tier medial grade.
After receiving the elixir bottle, he opened the bottle cork and wanted to take a look. At the instant that he opened the bottle cork, his eyes had this flash of brilliance. His expression looked like he saw something unbelievable.
Qian Wanguan used his fastest speed to take out one of the elixirs. He was staring with big round eyes, and his fleshy hand was shaking. He then stammered,
Heaven—heaven-tier elixir? There is even an elixir pattern? Boss, are you sure you refined this? If you dare to say it, I will dare to take my own stool and eat it.
Why not eat mine? I will give you five kilograms of it for free!
Jiang Yi rolled his eyes and spoke in a dissatisfied tone,
Go ask someone to appraise it. No one has ever refined this elixir before. Remember… keep this a secret by all means. Do not let anyone know I am the one who refined it!
As he said it, Jiang Yi went back to his room and took a shower before going into cultivation seclusion. After he refined the elixir, his entire body felt relief and just had to wait for the appraisal of the medicinal effects of the elixir.
Seeing how confident Jiang Yi was, Qian Wanguan didn’t continue asking; instead, he immediately set off to the Spirit Beast City. In the city, their clan had a large scale store; and there was a grade-three Elixir Master in it. The Mt. Spirit Beast College had plenty of young masters and young ladies. These elixirs were always popular items.
As he was impatient, he asked Liu Lao to carry him and fly straight down the mountain, taking just one hour to arrive at the Spirit Beast City. He sprinted towards their clan’s elixir store and yelled out once he dashed in,
Ask Chen Lao to come out. I have something to ask of him.
The storekeeper of the elixir store naturally recognized Qian Wanguan as he hurriedly asked someone to go in and report—while inviting Qian Wanguan into the elegant hall within. Soon enough, Chen Lao came out. He might be a grade-three Elixir Master and had an esteemed status, but when facing Qian Wanguan who might be the future helmsman of the Qian Clan, he didn’t dare to put on any airs. He obviously thought that the elixir that Qian Wanguan handed over wasn’t worthy enough for him to appraise, but he quickly took the elixir and went to inspect it.
Shh-shh-shh!
After just a short moment, Chen Lao walked out quickly and had this puzzled and shocked expression on his aged face. He nervously walked in and inquired,
Young Clan Head, may I ask who refined this elixir? This old man would like to meet him.
Qian Wanguan had a tensed-up face as he gestured with a wave of his hand.
You cannot meet this person and don’t ask so many questions. I am just asking you what tier and grade is this elixir? How are the medicinal effects?
Heaven-tier!
Chen Lao was very certain as he said,
This is definitely a heaven-tier inferior-grade elixir, and it even has elixir pattern. Its value is much higher than the Heaven Spirit Elixir. As for the medicinal effects… I have yet to test it.
Qian Wanguan had a profound expression and spoke with some impatience,
Not yet tested? Then why did you come out? Go and test it now.
I…
Chen Lao laughed awkwardly. If this wasn’t Qian Wanguan, he would already have fallen out. He paused with a moment before explaining with patience:
The reason why I want to meet this Elixir Master is that the content and the refinement method of this elixir is exactly the same as the Earth Dragon Elixir that is refined by this old man. I am not sure what kind of compound did he add or what kind of mystics did he use. He actually turned the Earth Dragon Elixir into a heaven-tier and even produced elixir patterns…
En?
Qian Wanguan was flabbergasted. The Earth Dragon Elixir that he provided to Jiang Yi was indeed refined by Chen Lao who stood before him. The reason why the Qian Clan had a large amount of profit from the Mt. Spirit Beast College was this Chen Lao. He never would’ve expected that Jiang Yi took the Earth Dragon Elixir and added on some processes to finish it.
He had second thoughts when he thought about Jiang Yi’s strength, weak soul spirit, and inexperience in elixir refinement as he only learned about it a few days ago. How could he have refined a heaven-tier elixir? Qian Wanguan soon dispelled his doubts and gestured with a wave.
Chen Lao, don’t ask so much. Go and test the medicinal effects of the elixir first. Without any medicinal effects, even if this elixir is at saint-tier, it will still be useless.
Jiang Yi did refine a heaven-tier elixir, but it was unknown to whether if this elixir had the heaven-tier medicinal effects. Most importantly, were there any side effects? If it had any side effects, this elixir would be trash even if it was saint-tier.
Chen Lao nodded and swiftly back down while Qian Wanguan sat in the hall and waited with anxiety. After a short moment, one of the Qian Clan’s servants came swiftly to report:
Young Clan Head. Zhangsun Wuji is here, alongside with the Third Prince. They have entered the Martial Arts Hall.
Third Prince?
Qian Wanguan had a grave expression. The Spirit Beast City had a Martial Arts Hall, but the college had the cultivation rooms. Cadets naturally wouldn’t come to the Martial Arts Hall to cultivate. Right now, Shui Qianrou was the one with the most respectable status within the Martial Arts Hall.
This is going to be troublesome…
Qian Wanguan let out a deep sigh. He wasn’t afraid of Zhangsun Wuji, but most importantly, the Third Prince was a hedonistic prince. He knew that he didn’t have an opportunity to rise up to the throne and had been tyrannizing with his status. The reason why Zhangsun Wuji instigated the prince to be at Spirit Beast City was obviously to let him woo after Shui Qianrou while using him to deal with Jiang Yi again.
Forget about him. The Third Prince cannot enter the college anyway. Send someone to take note of their whereabouts at all time. If there is anything wrong, report back immediately!
Qian Wanguan thought for a moment and gestured for his servant to back down. This Third Prince might be a part of the royalty, but he didn’t fear the prince. He just didn’t wish to provoke the prince either. This prince was just like a mad dog and might bite someone all over if one were to offend him.
After one hour, Chen Lao finally walked out with a nourished expression and cupped his hands.
Young Clan Head. This elixir has very pure medicinal effects, but the effects are slightly weaker than a normal heaven-tier inferior-grade elixir. But with the elixir pattern, this elixir is on the same value as a regular heaven-tier inferior-grade elixir. The Elixir Master that refined this elixir must be at least of Elixir King standard.
Awesome!
Qian Wanguan replied with a shout while his face was smiling like a blossom. Liu Lao had this helpless expression. Jiang Yi might appear to be eccentric, but he didn’t expect him to refine a heaven-tier elixir? Even if he was just adding process onto Chen Lao’s Earth Dragon Elixir, this heaven-tier elixir was still created by the hands of Jiang Yi.
Chen Lao had been refining elixirs for his entire life, and the highest tier of elixir he could create was the Earth Dragon Elixir. This was why he could only be a grade-three Elixir Master for his life… while Jiang Yi just randomly played around and created a heaven-tier elixir. If Chen Lao knew of this truth, wouldn’t he vomit blood from frustration?
Chen Lao apparently didn’t concede as he cupped his fist and asked,
Young Clan Head. If it is possible… can you get the Master to give some advice to this old man? As long as this old man can refine a heaven-tier elixir, I can work without any rewards for the next ten years.
We will talk about it again!
Qian Wanguan gestured with his hand.
I will go back and ask him. Remember… do not reveal this to anyone. Liu Lao, let’s go!
Liu Lao carried Qian Wanguan and traveled quickly back to the college. Along the way, Qian Wanguan felt as though he was still dreaming. His eyes were dazzled as he sighed deeply,
Boss sure is a monster. With this skill, 100 million purple gold is easily achievable. Even if Boss doesn’t do anything else and focus on refining elixirs, he could easily obtain the wealth of a nation in this life! Hehe, Liu Lao, isn’t my secret art of judgment, amazing? This time around, those old fellows back in the clan will definitely shut their mouth, right?
