Xiao Yan could see the meaning behind Dao Master Qing Ning's previous actions, and so could many others.
Even people who can't see through it will also vaguely have a feeling in their hearts that Xiao Yan in front of Dao Lord Qing Ning is only a junior who hasn't grown up yet. In front of the Void Temple, the Xuan Gate Sky Sect in the end is still a head shorter. The limitless glory of Tang Jun's counterattack against Chang Ling before, after Dao Lord Qing Ning appeared, it all turned to smoke.
Xiao Yan and Xuanmen Tianzong seemed to be a head shorter in front of Dao Master Qing Ning and Taixu Temple. They were like immature boys.
This was an impression that was rooted in the bottom of one's heart. It would quietly and subconsciously affect one's judgment on other matters.
For Xuanmen Tianzong and Xiao Yan, this was a dilemma.
It was even more troublesome than Dao Master Qing Ning directly pointing out Tang Jun's negligence.
He had given Tang Jun pointers. Although he was accusing Xuanmen Tianzong of losing face, it was not shameful for Tang Jun. After all, Tang Jun was only a Yuanying Stage cultivator, while Dao Master Qing Ning was the Highest Elder of Taixu Temple who had been famous for more than 10,000 years and was at the Dao Integration Realm.
If he had no other intentions, as the top authority on alchemy in the Divine Land, giving Tang Jun some pointers in this aspect might have become a good story. It would also ease the tense atmosphere caused by the tit-for-tat confrontation between Tang Jun and Chang Ling.
Although Chang Ling had suffered in front of Tang Jun, Dao Master Qing Ning had come to get back at him, which was a bit like bullying.
However, Dao Master Qing Ning had indeed come to get back at him. He didn't stare at Tang Jun, but he swept Xiao Yan in.
After suppressing Xiao Yan, Tang Jun was naturally nothing. If Xiao Yan couldn't say anything, Xuanmen Tianzong would undoubtedly lose more face. Dao Master Qing Ning didn't need to be aggressive to improve Tang Jun's alchemy technique. He could do Gu Yuan a favor. After all, Gu Liancheng had also been defeated by Tang Jun.
Even if Xiao Yan gave an answer, as long as it didn't exceed the scope of Dao Master Qing Ning's answer, even if the two improved methods were exactly the same, the inherent impression of a teacher testing a student would be left behind. Dao Master Qing Ning could easily suppress Xiao Yan.
Unless, the answer given by Xiao Yan was even more outstanding than Dao Master Qing Ning's!
Dao Master Qing Ning was very confident in himself before, but at this moment, when he saw Xiao Yan, who was usually like a raging fire, suddenly become unhurried and unhurried, an ominous premonition suddenly rose in his heart.
Xiao Yan casually said, "Does Dao Master Qing Ning feel that there is no problem? But I feel that there is still a problem. "
"When my disciple and nephew Liancheng pulled the pill out of the cauldron, other than the change in the real and illusory Fa Li, everything else was similar." Xiao Yan's finger gently tapped the Flowing Azure Cauldron. "But Dao Master Qing Ning, what do you think will happen when the pill is pulled out of the cauldron and the Fa Li is pulled out for half a turn?"
"Huh?!" Dao Master Qing Ning's pupils suddenly shrank. Gu Yuankai's snow-white eyebrows also gently trembled. For the first time since he appeared, the expression on his face had become slightly serious.
Their eyelids gently drooped, and their eyes flashed.
Whether it was for Xiao Yan or for them, the level of the Qi-converting Pill was too low, so they did not need to open the cauldron to refine the pill themselves. As long as they simulated it in their minds, they could roughly know the result.
The result of the deduction made the light in Dao Master Qing Ning's eyes slightly dim, but Gu Yuankai's expression did not change. He looked up at Xiao Yan with a slightly complicated gaze.
The current successor of the Ancient Emperor, the best alchemist, was not Gu Jun, who was at the First Tribulation Stage, but Gu Yuankai, who was standing here.
Xiao Yan's expression was calm and indifferent. Dao Master Qing Ning did not speak, but Gu Yuankai sighed. "On the basis of the original two improvements, when opening the cauldron and pulling out the pill, the Fa Li will be pulled out for half a turn. I am 100% sure that I can refine 14 pills."
Everyone on the second floor of the Black Spirit Palace, including Xiao Zhen 'er and Xuanmen Tianzong, gasped.
Duanmu Hong pulled Yan Wuwei's sleeve and murmured, "Grandmaster is so powerful …"
His unintentional words immediately resonated with the hearts of everyone present.
To be able to surpass Dao Master Qing Ning and Gu Yuankai in the way of alchemy, this would not only shock all the cultivators in the world who were obsessed with alchemy, but also the entire Divine Land and even the entire Great Tianyuan World.
At this time, even if Xiao Yan, Gu Yuankai, and Dao Master Qing Ning were present, they could not stop the suppressed discussion from rising in the crowd.
"Dao Master Qing Ning can almost be regarded as the best alchemist in the Divine Land. I am afraid that only Ninth Great Uncle can be compared to him. But now, even the two of them can't beat Elder Xiao of Xuanmen Tianzong?"
"Not necessarily. After all, the level of Qi Restoration Pill is too low. Elixirs have their own limits. I can only say that Elder Xiao of Xuanmen Tianzong is better than Dao Master Qing Ning and Ninth Great Uncle in alchemy at the Yuanying Stage, but it does not mean that he is the same at the higher levels."
"After all, he has only reached the Primordial Soul stage for a limited period of time. He cannot compare with the two of them who have studied and practiced for thousands or even tens of thousands of years. The time they have spent in alchemy is longer than his age, and the top herbs and elixir recipes he has come into contact with are definitely not more than the two of them. The gap in knowledge and experience is too big."
"Yes, in fact, he may not be better than Ancestor Qing Ning and Dao Master Ling Jue even if they are below the Primordial Soul stage. He is only slightly better at refining the Qi Restoration Pill. This kind of flash of inspiration is not unheard of in the process of alchemy. Many elixir recipes are improved because of this."
Xiao Yan did not say much about the discussions of the crowd. He smiled slightly and looked at Tang Jun, Yang Tie, and the others. "This is a rare opportunity. It is also a good thing for you to exchange pointers with fellow Daoists."
After saying this, he cupped his fists towards Dao Master Qing Ning and Gu Yuankai. "Elders, please go ahead. I will take my leave first."
Dao Master Qing Ning looked at Xiao Yan and slowly said, "Fellow Xiao really has a deep understanding of the Dao of alchemy. It makes this old man feel refreshed. If you don't mind, please stay for a moment and let's have a good exchange."
At this moment, his words were much calmer, no longer relying on his seniority and condescension. However, it made Xiao Yan's heart sink slightly and he became vigilant.
Dao Master Qing Ning looked at Gu Yuankai. "Fellow Gu, we are all old. Although our interests have not diminished, our progress in the Way of Alchemy has been decreasing over the years. It has gradually stagnated. We can only ponder on it on our own, and it is inevitable that we will gradually become complacent.
"It is rare for Fellow Xiao to emerge. We have an alchemy master to exchange experiences with. The three of us will follow the example of the ancients and have a small Elixir Meeting. What do you two think?"
Gu Yuankai narrowed his eyes. "Elixir Meeting …"
Elixir Meetings were more common in ancient times. Xia Huang and the Ancient Emperor, two Human Sovereigns of similar eras, were both top alchemy masters. Under their guidance, the Divine Land's alchemy techniques were greatly developed, and there would often be grand meetings of alchemy and alchemy competitions.
Even the Emperor of the Underworld, who reigned between the two of them, actually had extremely high attainments in the Way of Alchemy. During the long years of the Three Great Renhuangs' reign, Elixir Gatherings of various sizes, high and low levels, could be seen everywhere in the vast land of the Divine Prefecture. Even the Three Renhuangs had personally held a grand Elixir Gathering.
That was the golden age of the Way of Alchemy. After entering the Middle Era, although there would be grand meetings from time to time, they were far less prosperous than in ancient times.
However, Gu Yuankai did not think that Dao Master Qing Ning really wanted to exchange alchemy experiences with him and Xiao Yan. His proposal was naturally for an essential matter at the Elixir Meeting.
Alchemy competition, alchemy battle!
Dao Master Qing Ning was officially going to compete with Xiao Yan.
Looking at the calm Dao Master Qing Ning, Gu Yuankai sighed slightly. Dao Master Qing Ning was trying to regain the face he had just lost, but he was also excited by the prospect.
Xiao Yan's level in alchemy far exceeded Dao Master Qing Ning's and Gu Yuankai's expectations. This surprised the two old men and made their hands itch.
Not to mention Dao Master Qing Ning, even Gu Yuankai wanted to see how high the level of alchemy the young man in front of him, who was less than a fraction of his age, was at.
Whether it was Gu Yuankai or Dao Master Qing Ning, they were quite obsessed with the Way of Alchemy. Suddenly, there was an expert in the same field, so it was inevitable that they would want to compete.
Gu Yuankai and Dao Master Qing Ning, for various reasons, although they knew each other, they had never really competed.
Now that there was suddenly an opportunity in front of them, and there was also a shocking Xiao Yan joining in, Gu Yuankai's interest was immediately piqued.
However, Gu Yuankai was not without doubts. He looked at Dao Master Qing Ning and said, "Does he have other ideas? Alchemy battle, alchemy competition … wait, could it be that he wants to … "
A light flashed in his mind and Gu Yuankai's eyes revealed a trace of surprise. His expression became slightly complicated, but he did not raise any objections.
"Oh? The Elixir Association, the three of us? "Xiao Yan was also a little surprised. He looked at Dao Master Qing Ning and asked," How do we compete? "
Slowly, Dao Master Qing Ning said, "Everyone will rely on their own ability to refine a kind of elixir. First, we will compare the efficacy of the elixir. The higher the quality of the elixir, the better. If there is a clear difference in the level of the elixir, other factors will not be considered. The superior elixir will win."
"If there is no clear difference in the level of the elixir, then we will compare the quality of the elixir, the number of elixirs, and the time taken to refine the elixir."
Xiao Yan crossed his arms with interest and said, "Some elixirs may not be refined in decades or even centuries. Are we going to compete in hundreds or thousands of years?"
"Naturally, there will be a deadline." Dao Master Qing Ning replied without hesitation, "So choosing what kind of elixir to refine is also a test. It tests the alchemist's ability to grasp their own level and time. It tests the balance between the speed of refining elixir and the quality of the elixir."
Xiao Yan nodded, a faint smile on his face. He stared at Dao Master Qing Ning and said, "In the ancient Elixir Association, there was an alchemy battle, and there were other things to pay attention to. Could it be that we also have one this time?"
