It was rare for a Holy Elder to make a mistake. A top-level Holy Elder would personally verify and issue the badge. After the Alchemy Hall confirmed it, the appointment would usually go smoothly.
Old Man Zui thought that Xing Ya Shang would step out to stop it, but with his prestige in the Alliance, he didn't have the ability to interfere.
He never thought that Cao Jifei would step out to question him and Yang Wu, giving Xing Ya Shang a chance to make trouble.
He was sure that Cao Jifei's involvement in this matter was definitely due to Xing Ya Shang fanning the flames. Otherwise, Cao Jifei wouldn't have raised such a question.
Cao Jifei was an extremely magnanimous woman. Old Man Zui knew this.
"Ji Fei, are you suspecting that Martial Uncle's eyes are blurred? It seems that Martial Uncle has doted on you for nothing," Old Man Zui said with heartache.
"Martial Uncle Zui, true gold fears no fire. It's not difficult to make him a Holy Elder. Just have him refine a furnace of Holy Pills for us. This request isn't too difficult, right?" Cao Jifei suggested.
"That's not difficult, but if you do that, where will Martial Uncle's face go?" Old Man Zui said with a trace of dissatisfaction.
"Being able to verify whether or not he's a Holy Alchemist is more important than Martial Uncle's face. If he really is a Holy Alchemist, I'll personally apologize to Martial Uncle. If not, then we'll deal with him according to the Alliance's rules." Cao Jifei said firmly. She showed off her elegance as an empress. Even Old Man Zui couldn't do anything about it. The other Holy Elders all knew that Cao Jifei meant what she said and couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.
"Holy Elder Ji Fei is right. True gold fears no fire. Vice Alliance Master, please make the decision," Xing Ya Shang said again.
Miao Miao Qi looked at Old Man Zui and asked, "What do you think?"
"Don't ask me. If you want to ask, ask Yang Wu. I recommended him. I've personally seen him refine many furnaces of Holy Pills. This is definitely not fake. If you want him to refine a furnace for you, I can't make the decision," Old Man Zui said shamelessly.
He had some understanding of Yang Wu's character. He was definitely not a guy who would be easily manipulated. Let's see how he would resolve this himself.
When Miao Miaoqi looked at Yang Wu, Yang Wu said calmly, "Can I not be the Holy Elder?"
All of a sudden, everyone was stunned.
The position of Sacred Elder was extremely rare in the Apothecary Alliance. Not just any Sacred Apothecary would have such qualifications. Only Sacred Apothecaries with outstanding alchemy abilities or Sacred Apothecaries with astonishing potential would have the qualifications to be recommended for the position of Sacred Elder. Once such qualifications were obtained, they would have an additional protective status in the Transcendents world. If others wanted to touch them, they would have to consider the ability behind them.
Apart from that, he could also enjoy the various benefits of the Apothecary Alliance. For example, purchasing medicinal herbs and pills would be a piece of cake. Furthermore, he could also enjoy great discounts. This was an advantage that no other organization could compare to.
Who knew how many people would break their heads to obtain such a position? Yet Yang Wu had actually retreated and refused to be a Sacred Elder. This truly shocked everyone.
Xing Yashang was the first to react. "Hehe, are you afraid that your identity will be exposed, so you're choosing to run away? Your choice is truly wise."
Yang Wu ignored Xing Yashang. He didn't even bother to look at him.
At this time, Cao Jifei finally looked at Yang Wu.
In these two months, Yang Wu had caused quite a commotion. It was difficult for her not to pay attention to him. She had reason to believe that a person who could cause ten thousand pill recipes to choose their master was a Sacred Apothecary. If he didn't even have this level of cultivation, then how could he cause the pill recipes to choose their master? Thinking back to when she first became a Sacred Apothecary, she also caused quite a commotion. However, compared to Yang Wu's commotion, it was slightly smaller. Moreover, it was isolated by her master, so not many people in the outside world knew about it.
The reason she wanted to test Yang Wu's strength as a Sacred Apothecary was because she wanted to see with her own eyes what kind of ability Yang Wu had to be able to attract the pill recipes to choose him. This was clearly a sign of success in alchemy. As long as he continued to accumulate, he would be able to reach large success in alchemy.
Who would have thought that Yang Wu wouldn't take the bait? She had to take a good look at whether this guy was really stupid or just pretending to be stupid.
When she first saw Yang Wu, he gave her a good impression of him. He was quite handsome, but she had seen a lot of men like him and was already immune to them. When she saw him for the second time, she felt that this guy was quite arrogant. In this kind of situation, he wasn't like those who had just become Sacred Elders in the past who were pretending to be strong. There weren't many who were as calm as this guy.
"Yang Wu, what are you trying to do? If they want to see you refine pills, then refine them. If they want to test your bone age, then let them. This old man believes that you won't be afraid of this little challenge." Old Man Zui looked at Yang Wu and said.
He didn't want Yang Wu to be excluded from the Alliance. That would be a great loss to the Alliance.
Another Sacred Elder said, "Since he doesn't care for the position of Sacred Elder, then let him scram."
This was a bad-tempered alchemist who had been roped in by Xing Ya Shang.
Another person said, "People with a guilty conscience don't dare to show their abilities. Old Man Zui, I think you really drank too much this time to recommend him."
"Bullshit, do you think this old man is someone who doesn't know his limits?" Old Man Zui scolded angrily. He then looked at Yang Wu and said, "Yang Wu, show them a few moves and give them a good slap in the face for me."
"Not interested." Yang Wu said indifferently. He paused for a moment and then said, "If there's nothing else, then I'll take my leave."
After saying this, he didn't want to say anything else and turned to walk out of the hall.
Everyone looked at Yang Wu who was so straightforward and were all dumbfounded.
"Young people really are impulsive. After stepping out of this door, he will lose his position as a Sacred Elder. That's good." Xing Ya Shang was very satisfied in his heart.
The Sacred Alchemists who had a good impression of Yang Wu felt that it was a pity. They had seen the pill recipe choose its owner with their own eyes. Yang Wu had condensed his pill dao and had a bright future ahead of him.
"This isn't a place where you can come and go as you please," Miao Miaoqi said faintly.
Suddenly, Yang Wu couldn't move. A terrifying aura enveloped him and he couldn't move at all.
"Old Miao, don't be impulsive. Don't be impulsive." Old Man Zui hurriedly advised.
Miao Miaoqi ignored Old Man Zui and asked Yang Wu, "What will it take for you to be willing to refine pills?"
Everyone present was stunned. They didn't expect Miao Miaoqi to use a negotiating tone with Yang Wu. This was unusual.
Vice Alliance Leader Miao was famous for being old-fashioned. He did everything according to the rules. No matter who it was, they didn't matter in front of him. Today, he was so polite to Yang Wu. It seemed that only Cao Jifei had such treatment.
"It's not impossible for me to refine pills, but I have two conditions," Yang Wu said as he turned around.
"What conditions?" Miao Miaoqi asked in surprise.
Other than Cao Jifei, it seemed that many young people didn't dare to speak to him like this. It was quite interesting.
"First, whoever questions my identity, if the result of my verification is out and there is no fraud, other than apologizing, you will also have to compensate. My request is not high, just a hundred stalks of Saint Herbs or ten thousand low-grade Saint Stones will do. Second, this person who has repeatedly provoked me will compete with me. If he loses, he will give up the position of Holy Elder. If I lose, I am willing to cut off one of my arms and never refine pills again." Yang Wu said faintly. When he said the last sentence, he pointed at Xing Yashang. His eyes were filled with a thick chill.
Everyone felt the ruthless aura released from Yang Wu's body. Their necks couldn't help but shrink as they exclaimed inwardly, 'What a ruthless young man.'
Using one's arm and the future of alchemy as a wager, not everyone dared to do so.
Xing Yashang didn't expect Yang Wu to turn the tables on him. However, he was a high level Sacred Elder and a high level Sacred Alchemist. How could he be afraid of a junior's provocation?
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Xing Yashang asked.
"Of course. The Yang and Xing families are sworn enemies. I will collect some interest from you first so you don't keep jumping around. You are too annoying," Yang Wu said with incomparable confidence.
If it wasn't for the trip to the Pill Recipe Pavilion, he wouldn't have been so confident.
"Alright, I will fulfill your wish. Vice Alliance Leader Miao, please make the decision," Xing Yashang said firmly.
Would Silver Green Sacred Alchemist be afraid of Copper Green Sacred Alchemist?
That was clearly not possible.
Miao Miao Qi nodded lightly and said, "Alright, if you agree to the bet, then I will be the witness. Ji Fei and the three of you who object will each add a hundred saint herbs or ten thousand low grade saint stones."
Miao Miao Qi's words didn't allow anyone to object. Cao Jifei pursed her lips, not daring to say anything. In her heart, she hoped that this young man had the qualifications to take her hundred saint herbs. The other three Sacred Alchemists cursed in their hearts, 'I hope this little bastard is just putting on an act.'
No one thought that a grand ceremony would turn into an alchemy bet. Everyone was curious as to where Yang Wu's confidence came from. Xing Yashang was a high level Sacred Alchemist and had been at this level for hundreds of years. He already had the qualifications to become a top level Sacred Alchemist. Yang Wu's actions were like throwing an egg against a rock.
Aside from Cao Jifei, all of the Sacred Elders present were at the Star Rune Realm. They could all see that Yang Wu was only at the Early Dragon Transformation Realm. No matter how amazing his alchemy talent was, it would be difficult for him to compare to Xing Yashang.
They were all certain that the result of the competition had already been decided.
Only Old Zui was relatively calm. He had seen Yang Wu's alchemy skills and might not necessarily have no chance of winning. However, he couldn't help but worry, "Kid, why are you always so impulsive? What if you lose? Even if I throw away my old face, I might not be able to stop Xing Yashang from changing his mind."
Yang Wu raised his chin, his eyes shining with confidence as he said, "Old Zui, believe in me!"
At this moment, he had thousands of pill recipes in his heart. He could become the world's best pill.
