Invincible Starting from Max Level Attributes-Chapter 570 - 577: Dang Dang Dang! (6/10)
Chapter 570: Chapter 577: Dang Dang Dang! (6/10)
Everyone jumped when GuanGuan’s body shook.
What did it mean? Why did she tremble?
Could Yang Kaixin have been right?
“Ridiculous, how could Miss Guan not know that the Aged Gold Soil furnace is of gold attribute?” Young Master Tian approached Yang Zhen and said, “Yang Kaixin, only a novice practitioner in the path of alchemy would ask such a basic question. Miss Guan is an alchemy expert. You should stop creating a commotion here.”
As he finished his sentence, Young Master Tian laughed nonchalantly and turned to GuanGuan, “Miss Guan, you have not eaten or drunk for several days, merely to refine the Dingyuan Pill. Yang Kaixin may not know your habits as he is new here, I hope you won’t hold it against him.”
“Truly Young Master Tian, very understanding and generous, not at all arrogant despite his talent. This is what we, as practitioners, should take as our model.”
“I jumped. I thought he would have a conflict with Yang Kaixin.” Little Fatty spoke, wearing a bizarre expression, casting a apprehensive glance at Young Master Tian.
“Why would there be a conflict? Young Master Tian is so magnanimous, defending Yang Kaixin despite risking offending Miss Guan. Yang Kaixin would never retaliate against him for this, unless he’s a fool. He’d undoubtedly seize this chance to back off.”
Everyone was discussing, Little Fatty stole a glance at Young Master Tian and muttered, “He’s only pretending to help Yang Kaixin while trying to show off himself. Such a despicable person; boasting a superficial appearance of propriety. He is more good-looking than I am and can ‘act’ better than I can, it’s truly infuriating…”
Everyone complimented Young Master Tian. He not only taught Yang Zhen a lesson but also helped him, and even silenced GuanGuan’s anger, solving any possible misunderstanding between them, all the while showcasing his mastery in alchemy.
One stone, multiple birds.
How could such a person not be the focus of everyone’s attention?
Yang Zhen and GuanGuan looked utterly confused at Young Master Tian, both their eyes revealing a glimpse of perplexity. Following this, they exchanged glances, then squatted on the ground and edged sideways.
“Young Master, I have considered the material properties of the Aged Gold Soil and even used Genglin Fluid to counteract it, but still can’t succeed. Do you know why?”
“Although Genglin Fluid can counteract Aged Gold Soil, both seem mild in nature, but Genglin Fluid has a characteristic you might’ve forgotten.”
“What…characteristic?” GuanGuan’s face grew serious, and then she trembled, “Is it wood attribute?”
Yang Zhen nodded and said, “Genglin Fluid is produced at the moment of awakening of the Muddy Star. At this time, everything is about to wake up. The wood attribute of trees and flowers has already had an influence on the Genglin Fluid, albeit slight. But for the Dingyuan Pill iteration, it can be fatal.”
Young Master Tian looked stunned at the two of them. He was frozen in place, neither able to advance nor retreat, stuck in an awkward spot.
Yang Zhen and GuanGuan were just ignoring him?
Everyone watched Young Master Tian with awkward expressions. Who could have thought that someone as cultured and refined as him would be ignored by them?
Not only was he ignored, but they also squatted and shifted away from him. Regardless of their preoccupied minds from contemplating questions and fear of getting disturbed, they were…they were disrespecting Young Master Tian too much, weren’t they?
Everyone seemed to overthink the situation. Yang Zhen didn’t know what GuanGuan was up to, but he certainly didn’t intend to slight Young Master Tian. It’s just that GuanGuan’s method of refining the Dingyuan Pill was unprecedented and took Yang Zhen by surprise.
As everyone knew, refining the Dingyuan Pill was an unrewarding task. Not only was the success rate extremely low, but it also required the lowering of the quality of various heavenly treasures for use. On top of that, the refinement process was complicated to an infuriating degree. Even Alchemy Grandmasters were not particularly fond of making this kind of medicine.
But Yang Zhen found out that if GuanGuan succeeded in her refining method, not only would it save much more of the precious heavenly treasures, but also simplify the refining process. What was more, GuanGuan even managed to increase the success rate by more than five times.
This was a woman with wild ideas and a talent for alchemy. Yang Zhen was astonished after learning this.
He couldn’t have thought of these crazy ideas, but after seeing them, he knew they could work, as long as…five problems were solved.
Five problems were almost impossible to solve; anyone knew that the alchemic process shouldn’t have a single problem. Any problem could initiate a domino effect leading to other issues, whether it was the ratio used in the alchemic formula or the choice of heavenly treasures. Even the slightest change in the procedure could potentially cause a series of problems, and, ultimately, all efforts would be in vain and have to be re-analyzed.
No wonder GuanGuan would come to such a secluded place. There were countless overthrows, explosions, and thunderous noise. Who could bear it?
Witnessing GuanGuan’s astonished yet uncertain expression, Yang Zhen was reminded of that long-legged Daoist, both strongly obsessed–one with alchemy, the other with martial arts.
Also, that tranquil expression on Miss Hua Youyue that occasionally revealed a trace of confusion, melted Yang Zhen’s heart.
Yang Zhen took a deep breath and decided that he would spend more time with her after this matter, at the very least accompanying her through the tribulations, and help her break through the Heavenly Realm.
Being utterly bored, Yang Zhen let his mind wander without even glancing at GuanGuan. At last, he sat on the ground, staring blankly at the sky.
This conversation had overturned almost all of GuanGuan’s previous assumptions, even interrupting her previous thoughts, extending them in a different direction.
Under such circumstances, there was no way GuanGuan could formulate a new assumption soon. Yang Zhen wouldn’t have to suffer through boredom in the coming days.
As for how long it would take GuanGuan to conceive a new method with her talent, would it be five days? Ten days?
Yang Zhen looked at GuanGuan with interest, then suddenly stiffened.
GuanGuan’s eyes were shining brighter, her lips curled up slightly, appearing mischievous yet somewhat arrogant. Eventually, picking up her tattered skirt, she went off with a hop, skip, and a jump.
Yang Zhen opened his mouth, looking confused. Before he could react, GuanGuan, picking up her tattered skirt, jumped back, squatting in front of Yang Zhen, saying,
“My friend, I’ve figured it out. Can you wait here for me? You must wait for me here, I’ll be right back, you…don’t leave!”
Thud thud thud, thud thud thud.
She ran off again, lifting her skirt.
Yang Zhen stared at GuanGuan’s retreating figure, looking baffled.
Did she just…figure it out?
What kind of monster is she?
This is a case of ‘there’s always someone better’. Yang Zhen never thought this seemingly delicate young girl’s knowledge and skills in alchemy could be so terrifying.
All Yang Zhen did was share a single possibility and she caught on immediately. If really she figures it out, what then?
She would certainly turn out to be a potential Saint of Pills.
Yang Zhen became interested in GuanGuan’s analysis and gestured, “Go on, I’ll wait for you right here. We won’t leave until we see each other again!”
GuanGuan faltered in her steps, then with even greater speed, lifting her skirt, ran off.
What Yang Zhen didn’t expect was the level of attention this alchemy session attracted in the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain exceeded his imagination.
