To Be Celestial's Emperor II
Secret Communications
If only he had noticed the series of recipes written by Zhen Yuan, then he probably would not have believed that Zhen Yuan could have made them. Even after seeing Zhen Yuan purify the Soul Essence Pill before his eyes.
The elder then placed each of the materials next to the large furnace and allowed Zhen Yuan, patriarch Yiqian and elder Sazi to begin the second stage purification.
“Purity will be carried out no later than 1 day, for that the alchemist masters can make the most of this 1 day time as well and as much as possible” Master Dan Jian explained.
While the finalists began to try to heat the large cauldron in front of them. The reason why master Dan Jian used the time for a day was because he knew it was long to purify a pill through such a furnace for more than 12 hours if the two masters worked together to heat it up.
Even with his ability, he could only heat up a little more than 13 hours if himself heated the cauldron. Therefore the time during the day was the most natural thing to give even less if for ordinary alchemist masters.
Zhen Yuan and the other two also finally understood why the time given to them was too long. Even the three of them had looked so astonished when the time had reached 3 hours but the cauldron had not yet had the mark of being heated.
“It's not effective, it deserves the size is very large and so wide. This is because they use materials that have a flexibility of less than 30% with some flame retardant properties. It is true that the material can be used to improve the quality of the pill but in my opinion this is very incomparable to its very long heating time” Zhen Yuan complained in his heart.
He may have finished heating the cauldron if he used his full skill and fire mastery. But that is unlikely as it will bring unnecessary trouble for now. Instead, Zhen Yuan only used the Five Elements Flame which was the third simple form of his 99 floors of fire control.
But even with such a majestic fire, Zhen Yuan could only heat the cauldron for 12 hours, 2 hours faster than Elder Sazi and 3 hours faster than patriarch Yiqian. Zhen Yuan led the second stage that first refined his pill.
The spectators thought that Zhen Yuan could win this second stage by using the Soul Essence Pill if he only had a distant speed defeating the other two finalists. That's why they're looking forward to it.
Master Dan Jian also came to watch from afar, his face showing a strong shock along with the other 3 elders.
“Didn't he have a trick up his sleeve doing all this? It was impossible for patriarch Yiqian to lose to this snot child” the other elders who supported the Thousand Pill sect commented poorly.
“If it wasn't because your status was the same as mine then I'd long ago hit you when saying master Zhen was acting underhanded? We have all seen how his knowledge and skills are not inferior to that of the Yiqian patriarch and the Sazi elder, he said, even he was more knowledgeable of the two” yet the elder who had received the enhancement effect of the Soul Essence Pill was scouting a statement from the previous elder.
He had truly made Zhen Yuan a helper and a blessing in his life. Even his admiration for Zhen Yuan was growing even more than that of master Dan Jian.
As for master Dan Jian he did have a face full of surprise yet his mind had gone far away from there. No one knew that master Dan Jian was communicating using a voice transmission from someone.
“Master, you are very lucky to have gotten someone like Zhen Yuan in your care! The achievements of this child will definitely exceed the achievements that you have” master Dan Jian said in awe through voice transmission.
“You really insulted me when you compared the child's achievements to mine. Even all my achievements probably will not be able to beat 10% of his achievements at a young age.” Another voice sounded proudly across.
“It turns out that the prophecy that you thought was true turned out to be reality. Unmistakably, Zhen Yuan was the child who was inside the prophecy. I think 3 elderly people who live comfortably in the palace will be very surprised when I find this news”
“Hmph! Stop mentioning all three. I know what they think is not the same as what they show us all. If they were to get this child first, not only would they take care of him but they would make Zhen Yuan a slave figure if not to kill him. They fear that if the prophecy is true and their future position will no longer be the same. That's why I decided to stop from the Pill Palace and start waiting for the prophecy to come” the voice chuckled again slowly.
Master Dan Jian nodded, “We 12 great guards will always be loyal to the master, even if the leader of us has been replaced, we will always support mister”
“Good then, we can't talk for so long through voice transmission like this if we don't want the 3 old men to know I still have frequent contact with y'all” after that master Dan Jian regained his senses, and then, he slightly wiped away the sweat that melted on his forehead.
