Chapter 1189

The Nine Cauldron Alchemical Sect became the focus of attention the moment it arrived . Pavilion Lord Si also went forward to personally welcome them . As the organizer of the Grand Alchemical-cum-Medical Meet, Pavilion Lord Si felt a sense of pride for being able to get the Nine Cauldron Alchemical Sect to actually show up . He knew that, although the Myriad Immortal Pavilion was extremely rich, it was at times belittled by sects with long histories, considered as nothing more than a mere company . For the Nine Cauldron Alchemical Sect to attend the meet, it could be taken as a form of acknowledgment of the Myriad Immortal Pavilion .

A faction needed to grow and mature step by step . Similarly, a long heritage needed time to accumulate . Perhaps in the future, the Myriad Immortal Pavilion would become an empyrean or immortal sect with a deep heritage, earning the respect and admiration of others . Of course, it would need to start by being in full control of the Myriad Divine Territory .

"Skyfire Sacred Hands, I am truly honored by your appearance here and your gracious presence . I organized this Grand Alchemical-cum-Medical Meet in order to resolve Myriad City's plague . I'll be completely relying on Sacred Hands . In addition, I have brought some alchemists from my sect here with me, hoping to gain some pointers and advice from you . " Pavilion Lord Si said as he cupped his fists .

"Pavilion Lord Si, I came to this meet in order to resolve this plague . Simultaneously, I have brought some juniors to give them some experiential training," Skyfire Sacred Hands said lightly . Soon, the members of the Nine Cauldron Alchemical Sect were led to seats of honor .

Immediately following that, a bevy of female attendants with excellent figures brought out plates of fruit, spirit food, and fine wine, placing them on the table in front of the Nine Cauldron Alchemical Sect .

The Myriad Immortal Pavilion was a rich sect, so every plate held top-grade spirit fruits or ambrosia . Such delicacies could not be afforded by ordinary warriors . Not only did these dishes have fabulous flavors, but just one meal was enough to match years of arduous cultivation .

"I never expected this Myriad Immortal Pavilion to serve an actually decent meal . Unfortunately, they don’t seem to know that this Purple Dragonfruit should not be eaten directly . Instead, it should be dabbed in Spirit Heartdew . That way, it will taste even sweeter and more fragrant . Also, it will release all the essence of Purple Dragonfruit itself which is very beneficial to the body . Nouveau riche are indeed nouveau riche . What a waste of such good items . "

The red-dressed girl held a Purple Dragonfruit and shook her head while saying this to her senior brother .

Her senior brother appeared to be in his twenties . He was dressed in a long purple robe . His eyes were bright and he had straight teeth . Strangely, both of his hands had six fingers each, for a total of twelve fingers . Furthermore, all twelve of these fingers were long and slender like a woman's .

He replied, "Junior Sister Yue'er, Purple Dragonfruit and Spirit Heartdew are rare to begin with . So how would they know to combine the two together? Just eat it silently . "

After all the spirit food for the Nine Cauldron Alchemical Sect had been served, the female attendants served spirit food to the alchemists and herbalists of the other factions .

However, the quality of that spirit food was a lot worse . There were ten thousand alchemists and doctors present . It was impossible to serve everyone with top-grade spirit food as it would cost too much . Even the Myriad Immortal Pavilion could not afford it .

As such, the treatment the Nine Cauldron Alchemical Sect received stood out . The other alchemists, doctors, and even a number of relatively unknown ones were not given a seat . They ended up being drowned in the crowd .

The preferential treatment the Myriad Immortal Pavilion gave displeased many alchemists .

One such young man sat beside Yi Yun . He came from the Paradise Chapter .

Although Yi Yun was an alchemist invited by Princess White Fox, his status did not earn him any special treatment from the Myriad Immortal Pavilion . In terms of seating, he was placed with the other ordinary alchemists .

"What the heck . The Myriad Immortal Pavilion has only invited us here to play second fiddle . From the beginning, they’ve only been placing their hopes on the Nine Cauldron Alchemical Sect . We are just here to make up the numbers . How disgusting . "

Upon hearing the young alchemist grumble, Yi Yun smiled . The young man looked like he had cultivated for a few centuries . An alchemist of a few hundred years old was already pretty good compared to ordinary warriors . Of course, the disguised Yi Yun looked a lot older on the surface .

"How should I address you? You don't look familiar . " The young alchemist noticed Yi Yun .

"Lin Yun . " Yi Yun replied casually . He used Lin Xintong's surname .

"So it's Alchemist Lin . Did you come by invitation of my Paradise Chapter? My name is Zhang Xiaotian . I grew up in the Paradise Chapter . "

As Zhang Xiaotian spoke, he picked up a spirit fruit and chomped on it as though he was venting his anger on the fruit . He had quite a frank character and plainly wore his emotions on his face .

In fact, among the ten thousand alchemists and herbalists present, there were many that shared the same sentiments as he .

Warriors were all proud . Alchemists and herbalists were basically warriors with special expertise, so they were even more prideful . They always enjoyed a lofty existence . Countless people would beseech their services . Even a lesser alchemist would be fawned over and desired by small sects .

They had, of course, heard of the Nine Cauldron Alchemical Sect and the Candle Cauldron Divine Territory . Indeed, both of them had a storied history in alchemy, but one cannot always trust what they hear . They must see it with their own eyes . Many of the alchemists were unconvinced and wanted to probe the supposedly high-level sect .

After a few rounds of wine, the mood became a lot more vibrant . An elder from the Guiyuan family suddenly stood up and said, "Everyone! I'm Guiyuan Zhen from the Guiyuan family . I would like to ask Pavilion Lord Si a question . You previously mentioned that you invited the masters from the Nine Cauldron Alchemical Sect to advise the young alchemists of the Myriad Immortal Pavilion . I wonder if an old person like me can be given some advice?"

The elder spoke with a slow tone which sounded humble and polite . Pavilion Lord Si nodded and naturally did not reject it . "What question do you have? Feel free to ask . "

"I would like to ask Skyfire Sacred Hands: Out of all spirit herbs, there is a renowned herb known as the Jadeflame Immortal Orchid . It has many effects, and direct consumption can result in the increasing of one's cultivation level . It would also be very beneficial to one's physique and lifeblood . Unfortunately, trying to infuse its essence into a pill is impossible . I wonder if Skyfire Sacred Hands knows of any solutions to this problem?"

Guiyuan Zhen enunciated his words slowly with his eyes flickering . Jadeflame Immortal Orchid could not be infused into a pill because it was fire-elemental by nature . It contained an extremely volatile fire-elemental Yuan Qi which would burn the Jadeflame Immortal Orchid to ash once it made contact with alchemical flames .

But in fact, many years ago, Guiyuan Zhen had chanced upon a method of infusing Jadeflame Immortal Orchid into pills . First, he switched from fire refinement to water refinement . Secondly, he used Desolate Heaven techniques to prepare the Jadeflame Immortal Orchid ahead of time . As such, he was able to barely extract a third of the medicinal essence of the Jadeflame Immortal Orchid . Being able to accomplish this was quite an impressive feat .

Guiyuan Zhen already knew the answer . He was not seeking advice from Skyfire Sacred Hands, but sought to test him instead .

He knew that the Nine Cauldron Alchemical Sect had a deep heritage in alchemy, something that his Guiyuan family could match . However, no matter how great the Nine Cauldron Alchemical Sect was, they couldn't be invincible in every aspect .

The Jadeflame Immortal Orchid alone had taken him a hundred years of study . He believed that no one else was more of an expert than him when it came to this herb . After all, there were so many herbs available to an alchemist . Very few people would waste so much effort on one herb .

Guiyuan Zhen only wanted to use it to take the Nine Cauldron Alchemical Sect down a notch .
