Before, although Wan Zhonghua was full of anticipation for this journey, if he wasn’t anticipating, he wouldn’t have personally co to Holy City to attend the Pill Discussion Conference. However, anticipation aside, he still had so hesitations in his heart.
But now, Wan Zhonghua’s last trace of doubt had completely vanished with the appearance of these eight Perfect Quality Heavenly Snow Elixirs.
If Jing Yan could guide him in the Alchemy Dao, allowing him to advance from an eighth-level Pill Master to a Great Alchemist King, then why wouldn’t the Wan Family fully support Jing Yan in his confrontation with the Gai Family?
Although the Wan Family was imnsely powerful, Jing Yan’s strength was also growing. The outco of this conflict was really hard to predict. If the Wan Family fully supported Jing Yan, and Jing Yan eventually crushed the Gai Family, the Wan Family would also reap great benefits.
To obtain benefits, one sotis needs to have a spirit of adventure. Can one simply sit at ho and wait for pie to fall from the sky?
Wan Zhonghua’s eyes grew more resolute. He had made his decision and planned to lead his family to follow Hall Master Jing Yan.
At this mont, several mbers of the Alchemy Dao Families near Wan Zhonghua were also turning over their own careful thoughts.
Originally, they were not optimistic about Hall Master Jing Yan’s chances of winning against the Gai Family.
The strength of the Gai Family was not just what was apparent on the surface. It was incredibly difficult for anyone to topple the Gai Family, not even the Holy Palace Saint Master Shen Chong, who controlled the Continent, let alone Jing Yan, who was rely the Hall Master of the Holy Hall.
But now, these people from the Alchemy Dao Families had begun to experience a subtle change of heart.
They had witnessed Hall Master Jing Yan’s capabilities in the Alchemy Dao firsthand; even Ghost Hand Gui Yang, who had dominated the Heavenly Origin Continent in the Alchemy Dao for a thousand years, was cleanly defeated by Jing Yan. If they had not seen it with their own eyes, who would have thought Ghost Hand Gui Yang would lose to Jing Yan?
With such an advantage in the Alchemy Dao, it seed not too difficult for Hall Master Jing Yan to rally a group of combat-powerful Dao Emperor Realm Practitioners.
So... if Jing Yan were to engage in full-scale war with the Gai Family, what stance should their families take?
Support the Gai Family? Support Hall Master Jing Yan? Or support neither?
To support neither, though it might keep them safe, would also an they could forget about reaping any benefits; the spoils of war would have little to do with them.
They wanted benefits, opportunities to grow and strengthen their families, so they had to choose a side.
Whom to choose?
In fact, several people from the Alchemy Dao Families had already started leaning toward one side: Hall Master Jing Yan!
Because they were all from Alchemy Dao Families, and Jing Yan’s prowess in the Alchemy Dao compelled their admiration. Although the Gai Family was powerful, they were not proficient in the Alchemy Dao, hence they could offer only limited help to these Alchemy Dao Families.
Moreover, once Guiyang Great Pill King joined the Splendid Dojo, along with the very close relationship between Donghe Great Pill King Hu Donghe and Hall Master Jing Yan, all these...
Thinking of this, the people from the Alchemy Dao Families were sowhat heart-pounding.
"Elder!" A clan leader among the Alchemy Dao Families bowed to Wan Zhonghua.
Wan Zhonghua looked towards him.
"Elder, your experience is incomparable to ours. In your opinion, how should our Alchemy Dao families decide?" the clan leader asked with respectful solicitude(questioning tone).
The others also turned their gaze towards Wan Family Ancestor Wan Zhonghua.
The Wan Family was the foremost family in Alchemy Dao. Except for the Li Family, the other families generally held the Wan Family in high regard, as they couldn’t shake the status of the Wan Family and could only acknowledge their stature. While the Li Family, with a strength not much lesser than the Wan Family, never submitted to the Wan Family. Previously, Li Tai had even had the opportunity to break through and ascend to Great Alchemist King, so they never recognized the Wan Family’s dominance.
Wan Zhonghua stared intently, contemplating for a mont.
"You all are not outsiders!" Wan Zhonghua said, "Perhaps you know that my Wan Family had so misunderstandings with Hall Master Jing Yan at the Pill Spirit Conference."
Everyone nodded; they knew about this affair. They had always believed that Wan Zhonghua ca to Holy City to see Jing Yan make a fool of himself.
"But what you might not know is that the misunderstandings between my Wan Family and Hall Master Jing Yan have been resolved. My visit this ti is specifically to congratulate Hall Master Jing Yan," said Wan Zhonghua with a smile.
"What?" Everyone stared at Wan Zhonghua in astonishnt.
They were completely unaware of this.
Wan Zhonghua ca to congratulate Hall Master Jing Yan? That is to say, the Wan Family had already chosen Hall Master Jing Yan before the Pill Discussion Conference?
"I’ve said what I needed to say. How you decide is up to you," Wan Zhonghua squinted his eyes.
His words had clearly indicated his stance, and he was aware that his attitude would greatly influence these Alchemy Dao Families’ choices.
Why did he do this?
Actually, this was not only for Jing Yan’s sake but also for his own and the Wan Family’s sake. If Jing Yan’s power grew, the possibility of crushing the Gai Family would increase. At the sa ti, by helping Jing Yan draw these Alchemy Dao Families, he would undoubtedly improve Jing Yan’s impression of him.
The people from the Alchemy Dao Families present all fell into silence, contemplating further.
...
"Guiyang Great Pill King, you’ve lost!" Jing Yan said to Gui Yang as he took back the eight elixirs.
At this point, the bitter smile had vanished from Gui Yang’s face, and he had regained his composure.
He had indeed lost; there was no controversy, the result was very clear.
At this mont, Gui Yang’s feelings were complicated, but it did not seem as devastating as he had imagined.
Join the Splendid Dojo?
Perhaps that was also a good choice. As for becoming part of Jing Yan’s forces, it seed to have so impact on his reputation.
But at this point in his life, Gui Yang did not place much importance on these external matters.
To beco part of Jing Yan’s forces, just let it be natural! Since Jing Yan was able to refine eight Ninth-level Elixirs with Perfect Quality in a single batch, his alchemy skills were indeed far superior to his own. Joining the Splendid Dojo might also allow him to gain deeper insights from Jing Yan.
"Hall Master Jing Yan, I am willing to join the Splendid Dojo," Gui Yang said after a brief mont of deliberation. He did not wait for Jing Yan to bring up the matter but took the initiative to speak.
Hearing this, Jing Yan also let out a sigh of relief. Jing Yan had also considered what he would do if Gui Yang adamantly refused to join the Splendid Dojo. After much thought, he felt that he could not force the issue. Otherwise, even if he could coerce Gui Yang, it would not an much.
Gui Yang’s willingness was what Jing Yan truly desired.
Jing Yan smiled.
"Guiyang Great Pill King, I appreciate your joining. On behalf of the Splendid Dojo, I welco you," Jing Yan said to Gui Yang with a smile.
With Gui Yang anchoring the Splendid Dojo, it would be as stable as Mount Tai. Even if he left the dojo, he would not need to worry about anything
