Chapter 697: Threat
In the ingredients for the Ten Thousand Spirit Returning to Origin Pill, Jing Yan valued the Soul Containing Grass the most.
If the Seventh Hall Master had wanted Hu Donghe to help refine a batch of Ten Thousand Spirit Returning to Origin Pills, Jing Yan had planned to tell Hu Donghe about the replacement in the formula and have him quietly set aside the Soul Containing Grass. Now, it seemed there was no need for such complications.
At this moment, the Seventh Hall Master became increasingly grateful towards Jing Yan.
To tell the truth, the outcome was entirely beyond the Seventh Hall Master’s expectations. Initially, she had thought that obtaining two to four elixirs would have been good enough. Now, not only had she received four first-class elixirs, but it was essentially without any compensation. Aside from the materials for the two batches of Ten Thousand Spirit Returning to Origin Pills, she had not provided Jing Yan with any other resources as a reward.
Imperceptibly, the Seventh Hall Master developed a respect for Jing Yan from the bottom of her heart, not just because of Jing Yan’s immense capabilities as a Great Alchemist King, but also for Jing Yan’s character.
"Alright, now let’s continue discussing the matter of the Ten Hall Masters," Shen Chong redirected everyone’s attention back to the topic at hand.
The issue of Jing Yan assuming the role of Ten Hall Masters had not yet been resolved and discussions needed to continue.
Hearing the Holy Master’s words, what was on the minds of the Hall Masters clearly differed from the beginning.
If Jing Yan were to become the master of the Ten Halls, although it would mean a slight loss of their private interests, if Jing Yan could help refine some elixirs, it would more than compensate for the loss.
Moreover, even though Jing Yan was only in the early stages of the Dao Emperor Realm, he was still young. Becoming a Dao Emperor in his thirties—how about by three hundred years old? A thousand years old?
The lifespan of a Dao Emperor Realm Practitioner can extend up to two thousand years. Not to mention Jing Yan’s talent, considering just his identity as a Great Alchemist King, Jing Yan would need all kinds of ninth-level elixirs for his cultivation. As long as the materials were available, they could easily be refined. Wouldn’t his martial arts cultivation advance rapidly?
"I think that Jing Yan, the Great Alchemist King, is perfectly suited to be the Ten Halls Master," Min Huo was the first to speak up.
