Ai Ou cursed in his heart, but didn't show it on his face. With his strength and identity, Ai Ou could remain calm even if a mountain collapsed in front of him.
"Haha, Master President, Honoured Teacher has finished refining the pill. I wonder if this friend …" Zhan Yuan walked out and asked while pointing at Yang Kai.
In the past, he would never dare to call Yang Kai a friend. Although he was an Origin Grade Alchemist, Yang Kai was a Second-Order Origin King master.
He wasn't qualified at all.
But now that the situation was settled, Zhan Yuan naturally didn't need to be polite to someone who would be his servant for the next two thousand years.
It was only natural for him to call Yang Kai a friend.
"It seems that he hasn't finished refining yet," Ai Ou said with a flat expression.
Zhan Yuan smiled slightly, "President, Master is wrong. I think it's not that he hasn't finished refining, but that he can't refine it at all. It has been two days. No matter what, there should be some pill fragrance coming out of the pill furnace. "
Hearing what he said, the hundreds of Alchemists who came here were slightly startled. [That's right.]
No matter how fast or slow Yang Kai's progress was, it had been two days. Grandmaster Zuo De's Soul Source Restoration Pill had been refined. Even if Yang Kai was slower, there should be some fragrance coming out.
But now, there was no fragrance at all. Obviously, there was a problem.
"What he said makes sense!" Zong Ao, who had been watching from the sidelines, nodded slightly.
Ai Ou couldn't help but glance at Zong Ao. [Whose side are you on?]
"Tell me the truth," Zong Ao said again.
Ai Ou didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He knew that these Alchemists were all one-track minded. Their attitude towards the Alchemic Way was extremely strict. They wouldn't blaspheme the Alchemic Way just because of their close relationship.
"This is indeed …" Ai Ou didn't know what to say. After all, he knew nothing about Alchemy. He didn't dare to say anything rashly.
"Although there is no pill fragrance, there is no burnt smell either. It means that the herbs in Yang Kai's pill furnace are still fine," Xue Yue suddenly stood up, "But this doesn't mean that he has failed."
Zhan Yuan was stunned. He opened his mouth, but he was speechless.
Indeed, Yang Kai's pill furnace did not emit a pill fragrance. But there was no burnt smell of failure. All of a sudden, everyone was confused. What was going on in front of them?
"Moreover, the Great Master said before that there was no time limit for Yang Kai. It's only been two days. Why don't you wait a little longer? "Xue Yue said.
"Master did say that there is no time limit." Zhan Yuan frowned. He said in a deep voice, "But if this person continues to refine like this … Wouldn't we have to wait forever? Then there's no way to determine the winner of this competition … "
As he spoke, he suddenly seemed to have thought of something. He clapped his hands and said, "That's right. I know what he's up to. He must have thrown all the medicinal ingredients into the pill furnace, and then didn't ask, wasting time like this. When we get impatient, no one will pursue the matter. "
Although Zhan Yuan's words were conjecture, when everyone thought about it carefully, it did make some sense.
Grandmaster Zuo De didn't give Yang Kai a time limit because of his status. If Yang Kai started from this aspect, he could definitely resolve the current crisis.
After all, no one would wait here for a year, two years, five years, ten years …
He was a Second-Order Origin King Master, so he must have been in retreat for more than ten years. What if he took this opportunity to comprehend some profound Secret Technique …
He wouldn't waste time, but the others were different.
Zhan Yuan's words made all the Alchemists seem to understand Yang Kai's intentions at once. They looked at him with displeasure and hatred.
Daring to compete with Grandmaster Zuo De in Alchemy was a kind of blasphemy in itself. Now, he was using such a shameless method to delay the competition. It was simply outrageous!
Immediately, an Origin Grade High-Rank Alchemist stepped forward and cupped his fists at Ai Ou with a sullen face, "Master, please give us an explanation for this matter. If this person is really as unbearable as Grandmaster Zhan said, I hope President Master will give Grandmaster Zuo De justice."
"Yes, the Alchemic Dao is sacred and flawless. It cannot be blasphemed. This kind of person is insulting the Alchemic Dao we pursue. He is insulting all the Alchemists in the entire Star territory. This cannot be tolerated!"
"We ask President Master to give us justice."
"If you don't give us a satisfactory answer, we will immediately leave Heng Luo Chamber of Commerce and find another job!"
"Count me in. This person is simply too hateful."
More than half of the hundreds of Alchemists stepped forward and demanded an explanation from Ai Ou. Even if they were facing the President of Heng Luo Chamber of Commerce, these Alchemists were not afraid. They looked straight into Ai Ou's eyes.
Ai Ou felt a headache coming on.
He never expected that things would develop to this point. Just because of a competition, two hundred to three hundred Alchemists were enraged!
He knew that if this matter was not handled well, the Yuan Qi of Heng Luo Chamber of Commerce would be greatly damaged.
These Alchemists who stepped forward were all hired by Ai Ou at a high price. They were not Alchemists trained by the Chamber of Commerce. They were free to leave the Chamber of Commerce and go to other forces. He believed that other forces would be happy to accept them.
While feeling anxious, Ai Ou was also secretly annoyed. He was annoyed that these guys didn't know the gravity of the situation and were blindly heckling him.
On the other side, Zhan Yuan couldn't help but grin. He didn't expect that his casual words would have such an effect.
However, he and Zuo De were happy to see such a scene. He quietly glanced at Zuo De and found that the other party was looking at him with approval, as if he was praising his limitless future.
Zhan Yuan quickly straightened his back!
Like a javelin.
"President Master, today's matter is very obvious. Please give us an explanation!"
Seeing that Ai Ou didn't move for a long time, the Alchemists couldn't help but urge him.
Ai Ou frowned, pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "Are you sure that Yang Kai is deliberately mystifying and stalling for time? Isn't it too arbitrary to draw such a conclusion? This King thinks that we should observe for a while more. "
"What else do we need to observe?" Someone complained.
Zuo De suddenly spoke up, "Everyone, please calm down. What President Ai Ou said makes sense. Moreover, this Old Master did say before that he wouldn't be given a time limit. Just wait. This is this Old Master's negligence."
These words made the Alchemists feel even more indignant towards Zuo De. They felt that a Grandmaster like him was forced to compete with a rascal in Alchemy. This rascal deserved to die!
"Grandmaster, you are too kind-hearted!" An Alchemist shook his head and sighed, "Grandmaster, your words will only make some people think that your tolerance is cowardice. This matter must not be tolerated and delayed."
"That's right!" The Alchemist who spoke first coldly snorted. He was an old man with a face full of wrinkles. He looked like he had one foot in the grave. But at this moment, he looked directly at Ai Ou aggressively and said, "President, take a look. Which Alchemist isn't exhausted and doing his best while refining pills? Even a person like Grandmaster Zuo De would be exhausted after two days of Alchemy. But look at this person. He has a calm face and is meditating with his eyes closed. There isn't the slightest fluctuation of Saint Qi in his body. He also hasn't absorbed the power of the Earth Fire. He has a Conflagrated Knowledge Sea, but I don't feel any signs of him activating it! If he isn't stalling for time, then what is? President, if you insist on siding with this person, then we will be disappointed. "
Ai Ou's face sank. He felt a headache coming on!
He raised his eyes and glanced at the void. He wanted to ask Long Tian Shang, who was hiding in the void, how to deal with the situation in front of him.
But Long Tian Shang didn't seem to care at all.
Just when Ai Ou was in a dilemma and didn't know how to calm the crowd's anger, a sneer suddenly rang out.
As soon as the voice came out, everyone was startled. They all turned their heads and looked at the source of the voice.
They saw Yang Kai, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, had opened his eyes at some point. He was tilting his head and listening to the crowd's conversation with great interest.
It was as if he was an outsider.
"Friend, are you no longer pretending to be a ghost?" Zhan Yuan sneered. He was sure that Yang Kai's Alchemy Furnace only contained classified herbs at this moment. Perhaps he hadn't even condensed the medicinal liquid yet. So, he spoke with great confidence.
"Do I need to pretend to be a ghost?" Yang Kai cast a glance at him.
"Hmph, you know it in your heart." Zhan Yuan sneered.
"Young man, what are you laughing at?" Zuo De narrowed his eyes and asked lightly in a tone that showed he was taking advantage of his seniority.
"Of course, I'm laughing at your ignorance!"
"What did you say?" Everyone was furious. They glared at Yang Kai fiercely. They were all Alchemists. When had they ever been looked down upon like this?
"Aren't you ignorant?" A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Yang Kai's mouth, "Who told you that an Alchemist must be exhausted and go all out? Who told you that you can't meditate with your eyes closed during Alchemy? Who told you that you must have the fragrance of pills when you are Alchemy? "
"What are you trying to say?"
"I didn't want to say anything." Yang Kai curled his lips and looked at Zuo De, "Grandmaster, if I ask you to refine Qi Recovery Pills at this moment, will you sweat and pant?"
"Hmph, of course not!" Zuo De snorted coldly.
"That's right. The reason why you won't is because the level of Qi Recovery Pills is too low for you. You can refine them easily. You don't need to go all out at all. Your Saint Qi can keep up with the requirements of Alchemy. Naturally, you won't be exhausted. "
"You mean … the Soul Source Restoration Pills are to you what the Qi Recovery Pills are to me?" Zuo De's eyelids twitched.
"That's right!" Yang Kai smiled and nodded.
"Arrogant!"
"Shut up!" Yang Kai turned his head and shouted at the speaker, "This King is a Second-Order Origin King. I don't feel exhausted during Alchemy because I don't need to go all out. I can meditate with my eyes closed because I don't need to worry too much. You didn't sense my Conflagrated Knowledge Sea because you aren't strong enough! Don't you think it's ridiculous for you to come here and talk nonsense when you don't know anything? "
The group of Alchemists was rendered speechless by Yang Kai's words.
[Damn it! What this guy said seems to make sense!]
They were all Alchemists. They never considered problems as cultivators. Now that they were influenced by Yang Kai's thoughts, they suddenly didn't know what to say.
