The Pill Spirit Conference drew even more attendees than Jing Yan had anticipated.
Everywhere you looked, there was a sea of people!
Within the entire Pill Spirit City, apart from so special areas, there were figures moving everywhere.
"It truly is worthy of being one of the two grand events on the Heavenly Origin Continent!" Jing Yan admired inwardly.
"Alchemist Qiu Fang, there are so many martial artists here, will we be able to find President Qing Ru and the others?" Jing Yan frowned slightly as he turned to Qiu Fang.
"There’s no problem with that. There are many mbers of our Youhai Comrce here at the conference. We just need to ask around to find out where the President and the others are," Qiu Fang said, as his gaze already began to search for mbers of the Youhai Comrce among the crowd.
mbers of the Youhai Comrce, all clad in clothes with the comrce’s emblem, were easy to locate.
The reason the comrce sent such a large delegation to the conference was mainly to purchase more rare resources. These mbers of the comrce were all quite knowledgeable; once they discovered so extraordinary items, they would use special thods to convey the information to the President and other senior figures.
Of course, not only the Youhai Comrce did this, other powers essentially all employed such a thod to secure rare resources as much as possible.
Before long, Qiu Fang found out President Qing Ru and the others’ location, and together with Jing Yan, they squeezed through the crowd.
Because there were too many martial artists, the two of them couldn’t speed up and could only slowly move forward. Flying was prohibited for martial artists inside Pill Country, so there was no better way to get around.
After more than half an hour, Jing Yan and Qiu Fang finally t President Qing Ru and a group of high-level figures from the comrce.
After chatting with Qing Ru and the others for a bit, today was already the fourth day of the conference, and in the previous few days, the Youhai Comrce had also gotten their hands on many fine items. Therefore, Qing Ru and the others were quite cheerful.
"Isn’t that Alchemist Jing Yan?"
"Alchemist Jing Yan?"
"The first place winner of the Alchemy Convention? The top ranker of the current Prodigy Pill King List?"
Previously, when Jing Yan was with Qiu Fang, not many paid attention to him, but now that Jing Yan had t up with Qing Ru and the others, the number of glances on him increased significantly.
"Is that Jing Yan? He’s indeed young, just like the rumors, he truly is only in his twenties?"
"It’s really Alchemist Jing Yan, I’m quite lucky, I attended the Alchemy Convention and saw him!"
Among the surrounding people, only a few were present at the Alchemy Convention.
The number of martial artists attending the conference might well be over a million, as one only needs to pay ten top-grade Spirit Stones to enter Pill Country. However, attending the Alchemy Convention wasn’t so simple. Without a certain status, one wouldn’t be qualified to attend, so the number of martial artists who were present on that day was probably only around a hundred thousand.
"Alchemist Jing Yan, could you help refine a batch of Elixir? I’ll provide the materials!"
"Alchemist Jing Yan, please help refine a batch of Elixir too! Rest assured, if you help this ti, I’ll owe you a favor. Whatever you request in the future, I will not decline!"
"..."
After being recognized, Jing Yan suddenly found himself surrounded by martial artists, many of whom wanted his help in refining Elixir. In their view, although Jing Yan was only a sixth-level alchemist, incapable of refining high-level Elixir, most of them did not need such high-level Elixir.
At this mont, Jing Yan’s expression turned rather dark; the noisy sounds hoisted a suffocating pressure over him.
"Alchemist Jing Yan, I want to marry you, I don’t mind being a concubine!" A female martial artist fiercely pushed through the crowd and shouted, appearing as if she was about to pounce on Jing Yan.
Jing Yan’s expression darkened even more.
Qing Ru and the others, however, started chuckling.
"Eh?"
At that mont, an elderly board mber of Youhai Comrce, while looking at Jing Yan, suddenly showed a hint of confusion.
This director was imnsely strong in the Martial Arts, being one of the most powerful mbers inside Youhai Comrce, a Tiaoist King Realm powerhouse. There weren’t many Daoist King Realm martial artists on the Heavenly Origin Continent, and each one was a distinguished figure.
Zhou Shangyun’s father, Zhou Tian, was a Daoist King Realm powerhouse.
"Chairman Jing Yan, could it be that you have already stepped into the Daoist Realm?" the director asked, looking at Jing Yan with a hint of shock.
Jing Yan looked back at him.
Upon hearing this, Qing Ru and others were montarily stunned.
They knew Jing Yan had strong capabilities in the Alchemy Dao and that his talent was monstrous, but they did not have a thorough understanding of Jing Yan’s Martial Arts Strength.
Among them, absolutely no one thought Jing Yan was a Daoist Realm Martial Artist.
A twenty-three-year-old Daoist Realm Martial Artist? How could that be possible?
"Yes, during this period of seclusion, I broke through to the Daoist Realm," Jing Yan admitted without hiding anything and nodded.
Instantly, the surroundings were filled with the sound of sharp intakes of breath.
Jing Yan really had stepped into the Daoist Realm.
Even Qing Ru was at the Late Daoist Realm.
For a while, Qing Ru and the others were speechless.
It was truly hard for them to accept this all at once.
A twenty-three-year-old sixth-level alchemist, a twenty-three-year-old Daoist Realm Martial Artist—what kind of monstrous talent was Jing Yan?
"President Qing Ru, I plan to take a look around by myself, so I’ll be leaving first!" Jing Yan said, giving a polite cupped fist salute.
The crowd of onlookers kept growing, and Jing Yan didn’t want to stay here and be gawked at like a monkey, so it was better to leave.
Soon after, Jing Yan bid farewell to the other directors with another cupped fist salute. With a slight activation of Sky Wings, his figure disappeared from sight.
Once out of the crowd, Jing Yan hurriedly put on a mask to cover his face; he didn’t want a crowd to follow him everywhere he went.
This fa brought not only advantages but also trouble.
"You say, how exactly does Chairman Jing Yan cultivate?"
"Alas, one simply can’t compare! I rember when I was in my twenties, I was still at the Innate Cultivation. Chairman Jing Yan, to think he’s already reached the Daoist Realm."
"That’s secondary, the key point is he’s also a sixth-level alchemist! He divides his energy between Alchemy and Martial Arts, how can he manage both?"
After Jing Yan left, those few directors of Youhai Comrce showed wry smiles as they spoke in low voices.
Fortunately, they were unaware that Jing Yan was also an Array Master. The path of Array Dao was even more challenging than Alchemy Dao. On the Heavenly Origin Continent, the number of Array Masters was probably only one percent of that of alchemists. To delve into Array Dao required more ti and energy than Alchemy Dao.
"President, we’ve discovered a batch of Cold Light Ore!" a mber of Youhai Comrce reported to Qing Ru and the others.
"Cold Light Ore?"
"Let’s go have a look; Cold Light Ore is exceedingly rare!" Qing Ru and the rest imdiately rushed over.
Cold Light Ore was a material used for forging Dao Artifacts, scarce and extrely valuable.
