"I have an idea."
These four simple words caused everyone in the hall to raise their eyebrows.
When they realized that the person who spoke was the young man who saved Yun Yan, everyone's eyes flashed with joy.
The previous Clan Leader of the Yun Clan, in particular, knew very well that foundational cultivators are usually wealthy. 50,000 spiritual stones was nothing. If the House of Zi Yang didn't charge such a high price, then he would be wealthy as well.
Sadly, the Yun Clan had to hand over 90% of their income every year. Therefore, Yun Hai was extremely poor. Even if he sold all his weapons and robes, he wouldn't be able to gather 10,000 spiritual stones.
Therefore, when Ling Xian spoke, Yun Hai was ecstatic. He stared at the young man, anticipating that he would wave his sleeve and toss out 50,000 spiritual stones.
Sadly, Ling Xian did not do what he expected and toss out 50,000 spiritual stones.
Because he only had a spiritual stone card on him, no spiritual stones. If he was in the Qin Dynasty, he could have used it. But since he was on Shi Ao Island, even if he took out a useless card, it would be useless.
As for the Petal of Enlightenment and other heavenly treasures, Ling Xian felt like he was overreacting. Therefore, he decided to brew a Dan.
"Master Ling, you really have an idea?" Yun Yan's eyes were full of anticipation as she stared at Ling Xian without blinking.
Faced with the beauty's high expectations, Ling Xian nodded with a smile. "Don't worry, I am an alchemist as well. I will brew a Dan."
"You are an alchemist?" Yun Yan's lips parted in shock.
Everyone else reacted the same way. They didn't think that the young man before them was not only a foundational cultivator, but also an honorable alchemist.
This was a very shocking thing!
It was not easy to achieve success in both cultivation and alchemy at the same time. In fact, it was extremely difficult, especially for a youth in his twenties. This was even rarer. It could be said that he was as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.
However, in the next second, other than Yun Yan, everyone revealed a look of disappointment. Even though they were shocked at the fact that Ling Xian was an alchemist, they did not believe that a 20 year old young man like him could have such profound alchemy skills.
Even if he was a Ninth Level Alchemist, alchemy was a very time-consuming task. Moreover, the price of a Ninth Level Spirit Pill was not expensive. Wanting to rely on alchemy to collect 50,000 Spirit Stones before the deadline for handing over Spirit Stones was tantamount to a fool's dream.
Therefore, Yun Hai and the others were extremely disappointed. Their faces were full of sadness.
How could they know that Ling Xian could not be measured with common sense? He had brewed 100 spiritual Dans within 10 days. Such a feat was unachievable by anyone under the Fifth Realm!
"Ah, my friend, thank you for your kindness. However, there are only three days left until we hand over the spiritual stones. No matter what, we won't be able to make it in time. The Yun Clan is destined to be destroyed." Yun Hai sighed.
Hearing what he said, Yun Yan understood. Three days was not something a Ninth Realm Alchemist could achieve. Even a Seventh or Eighth Realm Alchemist cannot do.
"Master Ling, let it go. There is no hope." Yun Yan bitterly smiled. Remembering the scene of her Clan being slaughtered, her face turned white.
Ling Xian faintly grinned. He knew that these people did not trust him because he was too young. He did not explain. Instead, he flapped around his sleeve and a purple cauldron appeared. With a "bang", it landed on the ground.
Then, seven spiritual Dans suspended in midair, exuding a fragrant aroma.
"Um … friend." Yun Hai shook his head, indicating that Ling Xian no longer needed to brew.
"Yeah, friend, don't waste your time."
"We are all grateful, but let's not waste our time."
Everyone chimed in, not believing that Ling Xian had the ability to turn the situation around.
"Silence. I am about to brew a Dan. Nobody is allowed to make a sound. If you do, you will not be able to handle the consequences," Ling Xian said softly. He did not explain.
"Hmmph, you have crossed the line. You dare to threaten us on the Yun Clan's land? We all said we don't need you to brew anything. What are you trying to do? Even if you are an alchemist, you are only of the Ninth Realm. " The Head Elder hissed. He was already in a bad mood. Now that Ling Xian was threatening him, his anger erupted. Therefore, his tone was not polite.
"I am threatening you?"
Ling Xian frowned. He didn't think that because of Yun Yan, he would lend a helping hand. Not only did the Head Elder not appreciate it, but he was also being rude. This made Ling Xian angry.
Without another word, a terrifying amount of Qi seeped out of his body and headed straight for the Head Elder.
"Not good!"
Yun Hai's expression changed. In a flash, he appeared before the Head Elder and formed a hand seal in an attempt to defend against this terrifying Qi.
However, as the Qi neared, he realized how much he had overestimated himself. Based on his senses, this Qi far surpassed his cultivation level. It was undefeatable and unstoppable!
However, since he had already made his move, he had to fight until the end. Forming a hand seal, his spiritual energy poured out of him and transformed into a meter-long sword. He attempted to break through the Qi and destroy it.
HOMMMM!
The Qi howled and the sword crumbled. Yun Hai couldn't help but step back a few steps. Then, under Ling Xian's control, the Qi landed on the Head Elder's chest.
Retch!
After puking out a mouthful of fresh blood, the Head Elder did not even have the strength to resist before he was flung out by this undefeatable Qi.
Instantly, the entire place silenced!
"If I want to teach someone a lesson, you are not strong enough to stop me."
Ling Xian's calm voice rose. He stood straight and his black robe fluttered in the wind. Though his face was still pale, his vigor was threatening.
"So strong!"
The Head Elder's face was white as he struggled to sit up. The way he looked at Ling Xian was full of shock.
Everyone else reacted the same way. All eyes were fixated on Ling Xian, full of fear.
Foundational!
A foundational cultivator who was even stronger than the previous Clan Leader!
Everyone was terrified as they stared at the horrifying young man before them. Their bodies were shaking uncontrollably.
"Master Ling, you …" Yun Yan was in awe.
"What about me? Overbearing? "The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up.
"No, that's not what I meant." Yun Yan was extremely anxious. She didn't want Ling Xian to misunderstand her, and she was also surprised by Ling Xian's sudden attack. After interacting with him for the past few days, she felt like this young man was very kind and didn't have the arrogance of a foundational cultivator at all. Why would he suddenly attack?
"It's good that you didn't. Or else you wouldn't be worthy of my help. Instead, I would've been stopped by others." Ling Xian coldly snickered and glanced around, "Listen up. I, Ling Xian, am not the kind of person who meddles in other people's business, and I do not have the heart of a Buddha. The reason why I am willing to help you is because Yun Yan saved my life. If not, why would I care if you live or die? Don't be so ungrateful. "
No one answered.
Everyone was stunned by Ling Xian's prowess. Even Yun Hai, the foundational cultivator, felt the same. His arm was shaking, and his face was full of fear.
After that attack, he had realized that he was no opponent of this young man's. He couldn't even defend against one attack!
"I don't know what you are thinking. Even if you don't trust me, at least wait until I finish brewing." Ling Xian's expression was cold. He no longer paid attention to everyone.
With a flick of his finger, the Flame of Purity howled out and entered the purple cauldron.
"I, Ling Xian, am not an unreasonable person. If the Dan I brewed cannot save your clan from destruction, then I am willing to apologize to all of you for what happened just now. But if it does save your clan from destruction, then you better teach the Yun Clan a lesson."
After that, Ling Xian calmed himself down and began to brew the Dan.
