Chapter 800: 800

When Chen Xi admitted that the Elixir Saint had run into this problem 500 years ago, the people in the hall entered into a discussion . All the Heaven Alchemists started trying to solve this problem too . They started to think about how they would resolve it if they were him .

Chen Xi said, “The person whose guess is the closest to the truth will get this Source Heaven Stone . ”

Her words started a disturbance in the room . They actually had only been eager to show off before Chen Xi . They had not been thinking about the prize too much . However, the Source Heaven Stone changed everyone’s minds .

Even Wu Ziming, the proud Wind Spirit, looked eager . His look was ardent .

Jiang Chen was not surprised . After all, the Source Heaven Stone was priceless . It was as famous as the Fire Meteorite . The only difference was that as the Fire Meteorite came from the Alien World, it was rarer and, as a result, more valuable .

It was relatively easy to get a Source Heaven Stone . Their difficulty came because they were controlled by powerful people, and they were not on the market very often .

But now Chen Xi was offering a Source Heaven Stone as a prize . The Elixir Emperor’s descendant was as generous as expected! But surely, Chen Xi’s Source Heaven Stone was not as big as the Fire Meteorite Jiang Chen possessed . It only weighed 500 grams . She could hold it in one hand . Even so, everyone in the hall was crazy for it .

“I guess the Elixir Saint resorted to some fireproof treasure to make the elixir refinement smooth,” someone said .

It sounded reasonable . However, they could find the flaws in this assumption after second thoughts .

“That would only protect him from being harmed by the fire, but how would the Elixir Saint control the fire?”

“Exactly . All of the Ten Techniques require a sophisticated control over fire . ”

Some of them pointed out the problems before Chen Xi could say anything .

The guy who had spoken shrugged his shoulders . He did not insist . Chen Xi said the one whose guess was the closest to the truth would be the winner . Even though his guess was not correct, the odds were on his side .

“Would anyone else like to try?” Chen Xi asked .

Soon, those in the hall spoke out, one by one, taking all kinds of wild guesses .

Is the woman sounding me out?

Jiang Chen hesitated . He certainly needed the Source Heaven Stone . Especially after seeing so many gorgeous talented people this day, he felt pretty pressured . And he knew how the Elixir Saint refined elixirs, since the Elixir Saint was him!

Before long, most of them had taken a guess .

The most credible guess was that the Elixir Saint changed the way things worked in the world with the aid of some treasure and managed to refine elixirs although he was still an average man .

Another guess was the Elixir Saint knew lots of theories, and he instructed others in elixir refinement skills, while he just watched them do it, but actually, he had never refined any elixirs in person .

“How should I put it… . Neither of the two guesses is correct . And they are too general . ” Chen Xi shook her head . She did not want to give away the Source Heaven Stone to others so easily .

“First of all, alchemists have to rely on themselves . There is no treasure they can resort to . Treasures will only be an aid . Besides, the Elixir Saint did refine elixirs in person . In the elixir competition held in the Sacred Zone 500 years ago, the elixir refined by him won first place . ”

The crowd felt it a pity that no one had approached the truth . At the same time, they felt more curious .



“No more guesses? I’ll uncover the mystery then,” Chen Xi said, smiling .

“Excuse me . ” Jiang Chen said involuntarily . He had failed to resist the temptation of the Source Heaven Stone .

What had happened to the little fiery burning man was repeated again . Others threw him a glance in an odd and complicated manner .

“Will I get the Source Heaven Stone if I tell you why?” Jiang Chen said .

Chen Xi had only asked them to take a guess . Anyone who could approach the truth would get the prize, but she did not mention what she would do with those who knew the answer .


Jiang Chen did not want to pretend it was only a guess . That would make him a hypocrite .

“You know?”

His question made Chen Xi roll her eyes . She said, “If your answer is right, the Source Heaven Stone will be yours . ”

“Does he really know?”

“Hard to say . No one knows how he became a Heaven Alchemist . Maybe there is something tricky in it . I wouldn’t be surprised . ”

“So, you really want to know how the Elixir Saint refined elixirs . ”



Getting to his feet, Jiang Chen swallowed his saliva to moisten his throat . “The Elixir Saint… . ” (Jiang Chen felt odd mentioning his own title . ) “…The Elixir Saint was found to have an exhausted pulse after the Pulse-Invigorating Ceremony, due to which he could not practice . However, the Elixir Saint loved reading . He often indulged in books, and he could memorize everything he read . ”

Everyone was touched by the story he was telling .

Jiang Chen sounded like he knew the Elixir Saint of 500 years ago very well .

However, since the channel of the Sacred Zone was closed, fewer and fewer people knew the history of that era . And it had gradually become a mystery . Only seniors like the Elixir Emperor who had gone on a pilgrimage to the Sacred Zone knew it . Most only got to know a tip of the iceberg about the Sacred Zone from what was told or written .

“Soon, the Elixir Saint’s family found him to be talented in this regard . He was extraordinary, no matter if it was about elixir refinement or methods . However, since he could not practice, even though he was getting better, he had no way to prove them . So his parents found two orphans for him, a boy and a girl . He used the girl to test methods and the boy to test elixirs . Gradually, when the Elixir Saint refined elixirs, his holy awareness and the boy’s would turn into one . In this way, he managed to enter the boy’s body . ”

“This is the Elixir Saint’s secret, and how he refined elixirs . ”

Jiang Chen’s story was very detailed, because everyone from the Sacred Zone knew it .

The girl and the boy were always with him . They never parted with each other . They were called the right-hand helpers of the First Young Master of the Sacred Zone .

“Gosh . Is it true?”

“Their holy awareness turned into one?! It’s only possible to achieve that when the two people cooperated perfectly . No doubt or hesitation is allowed in the process . ”

“Wasn’t it cruel to use people to do that?”



No one cared about the Source Heaven Stone anymore . They all joined the discussion excitedly . A tossed stone raises a thousand ripples . Everyone had some thoughts on it that they wanted to spit out . The hall instantly fell into chaos .

Only Chen Xi was gazing at Jiang Chen quietly . The smile on her face had disappeared . She was almost expressionless . Her eyes were pretty, but no one could tell anything from them .

“Young Master Jiang Chen, how did you know these things?” Chen Xi asked after a good while .

She had heard the story from her master, but it was not as detailed as the version Jiang Chen had told .

“From my master,” Jiang Chen said .

Everyone except Chen Xi was thinking about one man, the Flame Emperor . It was normal for an emperor to live 500 years and know secrets and histories that few people knew .

“Exactly . That is how the Elixir Saint managed to refine elixirs . As to whether it was cruel for the two kids, no one could tell, because they were very loyal to the Elixir Saint, and thanks to the time spent with the Elixir Saint, their achievements could be compared to emperors,” Chen Xi said .

“Could be compared to emperors?”

The people went into an uproar . It would be foolish to say it was cruel if they had gotten such high achievements . It was actually a brilliant opportunity for the girl and the boy .

“Here you are, the Source Heaven Stone . ”

Chen Xi gave the Source Heaven Stone to Jiang Chen in person . She said, “Young Master Jiang Chen, could you introduce me to your master? I would like to pay him a formal visit . ”

“Yes??” Taking the Source Heaven Stone, Jiang Chen looked as if it would be tricky for him .

“It’s for my master . He has been haunted by a thing for a long time . Since your master knows the Elixir Saint so well, he might be able to help my master,” Chen Xi said .
