Chapter 1596 - 586: Alchemy Dao Myth (Part 3)

The crowd had heard this spiel so many times that their ears were numb.

Which Dan Master here wouldn’t know that—whenever that Dan Master Zhuo got slightly tipsy, he would drag everyone to talk about his "Thousand Miles" stories from back then,

The Jade Capital once spread this widely-known saying—Dan Master Zhuo hadn’t told a "Thousand Miles" alchemy story in a quarter of an hour.

The speech that Dan Master Zhuo just gave could be said to be "honed to perfection," every word in tone and manner had been rehearsed privately countless times.

However, after Mr. Ding listened to it, he let out a cold snort and blandly replied, "Ordinary."

"Thank you for the praise, Mr. Ding..."

Dan Master Zhuo thought that as long as he spun a "Thousand Miles" tale, everyone around him wouldn’t hold back their admiration and praise; his act of "thanking for praise" had become a reflex action,

He had thanked halfway before realizing suddenly, Mr. Ding wasn’t praising but belittling him.

"Ordinary? Mr. Ding, should that be?"

Dan Master Zhuo retorted,

Mr. Ding was always gentle, and Dan Masters were used to speaking frankly with him.

He did not answer Dan Master Zhuo’s question directly; instead, he asked the other Dan Masters: "Among you Dan Masters, whose second furnace elixir is better than Dan Master Zhuo’s?"

The group fell silent,

No one had yet surpassed Dan Master Zhuo when it came to youthful prodigies.

Mr. Ding nodded privately, saying, "My own second furnace also exploded, so if Dan Master Zhuo’s second furnace is considered ordinary, then we are beneath ordinary,

But this is the harsh reality of the world, the vast majority of people are ordinary, living an unremarkable life. No matter how diligent one becomes, though achieving something, it’s difficult to be remembered, let alone be referred to as a myth in Alchemy Dao,

We are all average people, but Zhou Xuan, Zhou Danzheng is not ordinary. His second furnace is a brilliant feat."

His words immediately stirred Dan Master Zhuo’s displeasure.

Dan Master Zhuo pursed his lips and said in a sharp voice, "If Mr. Ding believes only Zhou Xuan’s second furnace isn’t ordinary, then I’d like to ask, what kind of elixir is his second furnace?

Even I, an ordinary person, would like to see for myself the elegance of the elixir made by a mythical figure."

The rest of the Dan Masters couldn’t help but be intrigued; even Granny Qian, who had maintained a cool demeanor, had a flash of heat in her old eyes.

The atmosphere having been adequately set, Mr. Ding waved his hand, and Mo Dan Master, understanding the cue, handed over the Flower God Leaf.

"Everyone, please take a look; Zhou Danzheng’s second furnace elixir is this Flower God Pill,

This elixir, Mo Dan Master, how do you grade it?"

Mr. Ding asked.

Mo Dan Master quickly responded, "I and Senior Brother Tianchi evaluated the elixir, and we both graded it nearly first-grade."

"In my view, it’s graded too low."

Mr. Ding sneered and said, "In all past years, Jade Capital hasn’t seen an elixir that could extend the Flower God’s life,

The emergence of such an elixir is nothing short of a dazzling moment in the Alchemy Dao, having the momentum of Opening Mountain,

If it were up to me, I would grade it as First Grade,

However, considering Zhou Xuan’s relatively shallow experience in the Alchemy Dao, grading his second furnace elixir as First Grade wouldn’t be convincing to many, and could also easily feed his genius arrogance..."

As he mentioned "genius arrogance," he even gave Dan Master Zhuo a sharp glance.

If Dan Master Zhuo hadn’t become famous early on, and his talent and fame hadn’t inflated him, he would now occupy the position of Tianchi Pill Master, being the first among the Eleven Pill Masters.

Dan Master Zhuo didn’t think Mr. Ding was "pointing" him out; all his heart and mind were on that leaf.

The leaf was indeed a withered Flower God leaf, there was no mistake in that,

And the vibrant life above the withered leaf, he couldn’t find any error in it.

"Ah... What Mr. Ding said... actually turns out to be true... My ’Thousand Miles’ elixir is indeed somewhat ordinary."

Dan Master Zhuo was a proud person; his pride in the Alchemy Dao made him somewhat conceited, yet at the same time, it refused to let him lie brazenly.

"Dan Master Zhuo, during your second furnace elixir, people thought you were young and upgraded your grade; for Zhou Danzheng’s second furnace, Mr. Ding considered him inexperienced and downgraded his grade,

Even then, you still can’t match Zhou Danzheng."

"Thousand Miles" elixir was merely third-grade,

Zhou Xuan’s "Flower God Pill" is already nearly first-grade.

How vast is the gap between nearly first-grade and third-grade?

"Wider than the distance between Jade Capital and the human world." Dragon Leaf Pill Master’s words indeed struck deep.

"Please, don’t say anymore."

Dan Master Zhuo felt like crying without tears,

While the rest of the Dan Masters were all expressing their amazement; they all once considered themselves genius in the Alchemy Dao, but seeing Zhou Xuan’s work, they simultaneously felt ashamed.

"Is this the masterpiece of a future Alchemy Dao myth? Quite stunning indeed."

The Dan Masters were all convinced,

Granny Qian finally turned serious, asking Mr. Ding, "This trace of life on the leaf, is there any possibility it’s fake?"

Mr. Ding immediately denied, "Granny Qian, if even the life signs of the Flower God could be faked, I’m afraid within Jade Capital, there would no longer be such things as ’truth’."

"This Zhou Xuan, does he really have such talent?"

Granny Qian sighed deeply, "It seems that this time, the Sequencer Lords indeed need to retract their verdict."
