"Did he succeed?"
The same thought emerged in everyone's mind as they stared at the Nine-leaf Holy Land elder who had swallowed the elixir but remained motionless on the spot.
"Boom!"
After a few breaths of silence, the Nine-leaf Holy Land elder's aura suddenly began to strengthen. Then, his hair turned from white to black, the wrinkles on his face disappeared, and his skin smoothed out. His body was no longer hunched and gradually straightened. It was almost the same as Mu Yang's symptoms after consuming the Soul Replenishing Heavenly Pill refined by Xiao Fan!
"Hahaha, Master Chengfeng is indeed one of the top ten alchemists of the Great Western Prefecture. He really lives up to his reputation. He has indeed reverse-engineered the Soul Replenishing Heavenly Pill!" Suddenly, a sect leader of a large sect laughed out loud. His laughter caused the entire Alchemy Palace to tremble slightly.
"Master Chengfeng, you're amazing!" Another sect leader looked at Master Chengfeng with a blazing light in his eyes as he praised.
"Master Chengfeng should be the number one alchemist of the Great Western Prefecture!" The Nanzhou Family Patriarch looked at Master Chengfeng with a smile and praised generously.
"Nanzhou Family Patriarch, you're too kind. This old man doesn't deserve such praise!" Although Master Chengfeng said that he didn't deserve such praise, the smile on his face became even brighter. It was obvious that he enjoyed the compliments of the Nanzhou Family Patriarch.
Among the major sects in the Great West Prefecture, the Nanzhou Aristocratic Family's strength was only second to the Thunder Sound Sect and the Black Orchid Sect. It was the third most powerful force. The head of the Nanzhou Aristocratic Family was also one of the most powerful figures in the Great West Prefecture. He held great power in his hands. Receiving the affirmation and praise of such a powerful figure was much better than receiving the praise of 10,000 ordinary people.
"Since Grandmaster Chengfeng has already refined the Soul Replenishing Heavenly Pellet, then Xiao Fan is useless. We don't need to prepare all kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures for him to refine the pellet. Ling Yan and the other four can also return!" One of the Sect Masters said with a smile.
"That's right!" Immediately, several sect leaders opened their mouths and responded. "Xiao Fan is already useless. He is merely a lunatic. Why should we care about him?"
"That may be true, but this is only a Soul Mending Heavenly Pill that can restore three hundred years of cultivation. There are other Soul Mending Heavenly Pills that can restore five hundred, one thousand, two thousand, three thousand, and even five thousand years of cultivation!" However, Zhao Zhiping shook his head and said cautiously, "Once Master Chengfeng has fully mastered it, it's not too late for us to ignore this Xiao Fan!"
"Don't worry, Sect Leader Zhao. I'm confident that I can refine the remaining Soulless Heaven Pills!" At this time, Master Chengfeng opened his mouth and said with a very confident face, "The refining method of this Soul Replenishing Heavenly Pill is actually not difficult. As long as you figure out a few key points, you will be able to understand everything. It really isn't that difficult!"
"Since I can refine the Soul Replenishing Heavenly Pill that can restore three hundred years of cultivation, the rest of the Soul Replenishing Heavenly Pills are all under my control. As long as you prepare the ingredients for me now, I can refine the rest of the Soul Replenishing Heavenly Pills today!"
"Men, take my order and go to the secret storehouse to retrieve all the medicinal ingredients!" Nine Leaf Saint Lord immediately ordered.
"Yes!" Someone immediately left and went to the secret storehouse to retrieve all the precious medicinal ingredients that Nine Leaf Saint Lord had collected.
"That Xiao Fan is just a child. What does he know about refining pills at such a young age? He even said that he can't reverse the process? What a joke. I've never seen a pill that can't be reversed! " At this moment, Master Chengfeng opened his mouth again. He thought highly of himself and said arrogantly, "As for that unprecedented pill refining method he used that day, I highly suspect that he had colluded with Mu Yang beforehand, with the purpose of deceiving all the sect leaders!"
"Now, everything has come to light. He's actually just a slightly better liar. He's really not …!"
Boom!
Before Master Chengfeng could finish his sentence, a loud sound interrupted him and caused his voice to stop abruptly.
Then, everyone looked in the direction of the sound. When they saw what was in front of them, it was as if they had been struck by lightning. They froze on the spot like stone statues and were unable to move for a long time.
It was the elder of the Nine Leaf Holy Land who had consumed the Soul Replenishing Heavenly Pill that Master Chengfeng had concocted. At this moment, his 300 years of cultivation base had just recovered. Suddenly, without any warning, his entire body exploded into a cloud of blood mist. Countless pieces of flesh and bones splattered everywhere, covering the ground and walls.
Looking at this scene, a deathly silence spread among Zhao Zhiping and the other Great West Prefecture Sect Leaders. Everyone was tongue-tied as they looked at the scene in disbelief. No words came out of their mouths.
Xiao Fan had previously warned them that not only could the Soul Replenishing Heavenly Pill not be reversed, but it could also be accompanied by danger. However, they did not listen and insisted on reversing the process.
However, at this moment, Xiao Fan's warning had all come true. When they recalled the words that Xiao Fan had once said, it was like an invisible palm that ruthlessly slapped their faces. This caused their expressions to become incomparably ugly and they were unable to say anything.
At this moment, if there was anyone who was the most embarrassed, it would be Master Chengfeng. His old face looked as if it had been slapped a dozen times on both sides. It instantly turned red and swollen.
His lips opened and closed with difficulty as if he wanted to say something to defend himself. However, when the words reached his mouth, he could not say anything in the end.
He could not find the words to defend himself because the facts had proven everything!
Who could not do it? Who did not know how to refine pills? Who was the liar? Everything was clear at a glance.
"Master Chengfeng, what do you think of this result?" Nine Leaf Saint Lord was expressionless at this moment. He suddenly turned his head to look at Master Chengfeng and asked calmly.
All the other Sect Masters of the various major sects of the Great West Prefecture looked at Master Chengfeng in unison. More than ten gazes shot towards Master Chengfeng like sharp swords, and an enormous pressure pressed down on him, causing the air in the entire Pill Refinery Palace to stagnate.
"I, I, I …!"
Faced with Nine Leaf Saint Lord's question and the pressuring gazes of all the other Great West Prefecture Sect Leaders, Master Chengfeng's forehead was covered in cold sweat. His limbs were cold and he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. He could not help but tremble as he stuttered with a terrified expression.
"Master Chengfeng, you have disappointed me!" Nine Leaf Saint Lord looked at Master Chengfeng expressionlessly and shook his head.
"Saint Lord, please, please give me another chance. I, I will definitely …!" Master Chengfeng's entire body trembled. Then, his knees suddenly went soft as he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Nine Leaf Saint Lord as he begged.
"Master Chengfeng, you don't need to manage the Alchemy Palace anymore. I will send someone else over!" However, Nine Leaf Saint Lord was emotionless as he gave the order to strip Master Chengfeng of his original authority and position in the Nine Leaf Saint Lord. "As for you, you can go to the Alchemy Room to look at the pills. You don't need to come out for the rest of your life!"
There were many alchemists in the Nine Leaf Saint Lord's Alchemy Palace. Although some of them were less famous than Master Chengfeng, their alchemy skills were not much weaker than Master Chengfeng's. Losing Master Chengfeng would affect the Nine Leaf Saint Lord's Alchemy Palace, but it would not affect the Nine Leaf Saint Lord too much!
"Saint Lord, Saint Lord, Saint Lord …!" As soon as Nine Leaf Saint Lord's voice fell, a few cold-looking armored soldiers with powerful auras strode into the palace. Then, they violently grabbed Master Chengfeng and dragged him out. Only Master Chengfeng's desperate pleading could be heard as he was forcefully dragged away. It continued to echo in the air above the Alchemy Palace.
After a while, Master Chengfeng's pitiful pleading finally stopped, and the Alchemy Palace regained its former peace.
"It seems like the Soul Mending Heavenly Pill really can't bypass this Xiao Fan!" A sect master sighed deeply and helplessly said, breaking the silence in the air.
"Should we try looking for other alchemists?" Another sect master was still unwilling to give up. He frowned and asked.
"There's no need to try. I know Chengfeng's alchemy skills very well. Although there are other alchemists in the Great Western Prefecture who are stronger than him, they aren't that much stronger. The gap is very small. Since Chengfeng can't reverse engineer the Soul Mending Heavenly Pill, the other alchemists won't be able to either. The result will be the same!" Nine Leaf Saint Lord shook his head.
"Moreover, if we go to other alchemists, the news of the Soul Mending Heavenly Pill will definitely spread out in advance. This is something we don't want to see!" The Lion's Roar Patriarch shook his head and said.
"This Soul Mending Heavenly Pill is definitely not that simple. I can see that Chengfeng can't refine it. I'm afraid that he hasn't even touched the edge of the pill's true refinement method!" At this moment, Zhao Zhiping opened his mouth and said in a serious tone, "Xiao Fan's alchemy skills have probably surpassed all the alchemy masters in the Great West Prefecture by a large margin. It is destined that the Soul Replenishing Heavenly Pill will not succeed!"
"We should give up on this idea!"
"Sigh!" The other Sect Masters of the various major sects of the Great Western Prefecture did not say anything, but they all tacitly agreed with Zhao Zhiping's opinion. All of them sighed helplessly.
"Since we are unable to deduce the true Soul Replenishing Heavenly Pill, we should follow the agreement we had with Xiao Fan. Prepare the medicinal ingredients and heavenly treasures, and wait for the transaction with Xiao Fan!" The Southern Zhou family's clan head was the first to leave, and then said without looking back.
"Let's go back and prepare the herbs and various heavenly treasures!" Zhao Zhiping and the other Sect Masters of the various great sects in the Great Western Prefecture shook their heads as well. They turned around and left the Nine-leaf Holy Land, returning to their own sects.
