Chapter 953: 952: Peak Potion [Thanks for the Reward]
Elder Chen of dicine God Valley was thoroughly enjoying himself, completely forgetting where he was.
This ti, his alchemy process was smoother than ever before—he had a gut feeling that the results might reach peak quality.
However, since the pill furnace had yet to be opened, he couldn’t guarantee it.
Still, based on his years of alchemy experience, the potion was undeniably extraordinary; even its lively aura could be faintly sensed.
What a pity there was no elixir recipe; otherwise, with his current ntal realm, he might have achieved a breakthrough.
After completing the final procedure, he ford a hand seal and stood upright.
anwhile, Ye Ziyang finished forming her seal almost simultaneously. The two were evenly matched, and the superiority would now depend on the quality of their potion.
The confidence within dicine God Valley was palpable. They were willing to open the furnace for inspection—after all, it had to be opened eventually. Shocking the Wandao Sect’s leaders wouldn’t be such a bad idea.
The lid of the pill furnace was lifted, revealing a pool of azure-blue dicine, gently rippling with pure fragrance that stunned the Wandao Sect Master and the peak masters.
Elder Chen grinned with pride, convinced that victory was his.
“Not bad, you’ve made great progress compared to a century ago,” said the Wandao Sect Master. Though he was deeply unwilling to accept this outco, he had to admit that the potion was the most flawless he’d ever seen.
Initially, he had so hope for Ye Ziyang, but now, that hope had completely vanished.
The other peak masters felt the sa way.
Ye Ziyang, however, showed no sign of panic. She believed in the quality of her potion as well, and she had a simple reason: Tang Feng had guided her to make adjustnts midway through.
Thus, her confidence soared. Of course, whether she could win would only be determined once her furnace was opened.
Everyone gathered before her pill furnace.
“Open it, Elder Ye,” said the sect master. He was well aware of his junior sister’s level, and at this point, his hope had dwindled to nothing.
As expected, when the pill furnace was opened, there was no potion inside—only dried dicine mud. The people from dicine God Valley sighed in relief; their elder had won.
But why did this dicine mud sll so fragrant?
The crowd was puzzled.
Ye Ziyang remained frozen in place, stunned. What she had believed to be a perfect potion had sohow turned into dicine mud—how could she possibly win like this? She looked at Tang Feng, her expression full of confusion.
Logically speaking, Tang Feng only ever helped her improve. What could he possibly gain from her failure?
“Why are you rushing? Cut through the dicine mud,” Tang Feng transmitted his voice to her.
Ye Ziyang was montarily dazed. Could there really be sothing hidden within?
Clearing the dicine mud, a handful of elixirs, glinting with golden light, unexpectedly appeared before everyone’s eyes.
“Divine Pills! How is this possible?!” The people of dicine God Valley were utterly stunned, their previous confidence evaporating in an instant.
Ye Ziyang herself was no less bewildered. Tang Feng had only made a few minor adjustnts—how could divine pills erge?
She tried recalling the process but found her mory of everything inexplicably blank.
It was downright eerie.
“They’re Half-Divine Pills!” Sect Master Shan, maintaining objectivity, pointed out that the elixirs still had flaws and weren’t truly complete divine pills.
But compared to ordinary potion, they were leagues ahead. Even among alchemists of the Divine Realm, this step was one few could achieve.
Ye Ziyang had defied the heavens—in this solitary step, she had ascended to the pinnacle of alchemy.
None among dicine God Valley could have anticipated such progress within a century.
What was left to compete for? The outco was more than decisive; the remaining elders might as well concede without bothering to try.
Even if they won their rounds, it wouldn’t change the fact that this event had ended in defeat for dicine God Valley.
There was no aning in continuing. News of Ye Ziyang crafting Half-Divine Pills was bound to elevate Wandao Sect’s prestige.
“Sect Master Shan, there’s no need to continue. dicine God Peak wins this round,” Elder Chen said, lowering his head in resignation as the representative of dicine God Valley.
“Conceded. Let’s gather in the side hall for a al together,” Sect Master Shan said cheerfully.
“No, we’ll take our leave,” ca the response.
Having suffered such a complete loss, they had no mood to linger for food. They needed to leave as quickly as possible.
“Since that’s the case, we won’t hold you,” Sect Master Shan directed an elder to escort them out. He was eager to speak with Ye Ziyang.
At that mont, Ye Ziyang’s status ascended instantly, standing side by side with the sect master.
She had beco the undisputed first person of dicine God Peak.
“Elder Ye, when did you achieve this breakthrough?” Sect Master Shan asked jubilantly.
“Sect Master, to be honest, I don’t really know. It was sheer coincidence. I need to experint more,” Ye Ziyang replied bashfully.
She had wanted to ntion that Tang Feng had guided her, but he had refused.
For now, Tang Feng didn’t want others to know about his alchemical prowess.
The sect master roughly guessed so of the truth after hearing her response. Glancing at Tang Feng, he smiled and took his leave.
With Tang Feng around, a true master alchemist would undoubtedly erge sooner or later.
anwhile, Ye Ziyang found herself surrounded by congratulations from nurous peak masters, all aiming to curry favor for future elixir requests.
However, Ye Ziyang’s thoughts were entirely consud by Tang Feng.
At this mont, Tang Feng had already left the main hall and returned to his residence.
He had never intended to intervene. This outco was excellent.
Now there was nothing pressing, and he could focus on his cultivation.
But who could have predicted that, an hour later, Wandao Sect’s bell struck twenty chis? All peak masters and elders rushed to the sect’s main hall.
“Everyone, we have a major situation—Longjiang City near us has been taken over by the God Ghost Sect,” Sect Master Shan said gravely.
“Wasn’t God Ghost Sect destroyed?” one of the peak masters asked.
“Yes, I’ve only just received the information. Our people have already withdrawn from Longjiang City. Let’s discuss how to handle this,” Sect Master Shan replied.
“We should prepare well. During Ancient Tis, they were extraordinarily dominant. Now that they’ve re-erged, they won’t likely be weaker than before. Six out of the ten fierce beasts have also surfaced. What turbulent tis!” a peak master sighed.
“Divine Sword Peak, Sword Peak, and War Peak—send elders and core disciples to Wandao City. That city is our territory and must not fall into anyone else’s hands,” Sect Master Shan commanded.
“Understood,” the three peak masters responded solemnly, knowing the urgency of the matter, and swiftly departed after receiving their orders.
“Elder Tang, I formally appoint you as the peak master of dicine God Peak,” Sect Master Shan declared.
The peak masters erupted in surprise.
“Sect Master, please reconsider! Without inheriting the legacy of dicine God Peak’s previous peak master, no one is qualified to assu this position,” several peak masters and Supre Elders stood up in opposition. They naturally refused to accept that a newly joined young elder could beco a peak master.
“This is my decision. No one may dispute it, and the matters of dicine God Peak are not yours to interfere with,” Sect Master Shan said, rising to his feet.
“I refuse,” Tang Feng stated firmly. He understood Sect Master Shan’s real intentions—binding him to the sect wouldn’t be so easy. This old scher had played a clever hand.
“Why refuse, Elder Tang?” Sect Master Shan asked, surprised.
“I have no intention of staying in the sect. I plan to leave in the near future for training and experience, so I won’t accept the position of peak master. Thank you for your kind offer. Besides, the sect’s established rules shouldn’t be violated,” Tang Feng replied with a smile.
Initially, several peak masters held a grudge against Tang Feng, but seeing his stance, a few began to view him more favorably. Their previous envy started to turn into sha.
After Tang Feng’s refusal, Sect Master Shan wore an expression of regret that left the peak masters puzzled. They began pondering what they might have overlooked. However, since Tang Feng did not accept, Sect Master Shan could not impose.
Ye Ziyang was furious, unable to hold back as she lightly slapped Tang Feng. “Are you an idiot? Do you even understand how much power the peak master holds?”
“Are you worried about ? Not mad anymore, then?” Tang Feng asked with a sly smile.
“I’m not that bored,” Ye Ziyang said, turning her head away and ignoring him again.
