The Sword God of the Universe-Chapter 555: Wan Lai’s Source Power [Second Release]

Chapter 555: Chapter 555: Wan Lai’s Source Power [Second Release]

Simply listening to the name, Dragon Tiger Pill might seem somewhat tacky.

But this elixir was indeed incomparably precious, and the materials required were extremely rare. However, in Pill Country, materials for refining the Dragon Tiger Pill should still be easily found.

Moreover, the pill formula for the Dragon Tiger Pill was said to have been lost long ago, and even Hu Donghe might not know how to refine it. If Jing Yan could refine the Dragon Tiger Pill, it would naturally enhance his reputation to some extent.

Having made up his mind, Jing Yan’s actions quickened. In just a few breaths, he wrote down all the Spiritual Grass Materials needed to refine the Dragon Tiger Pill and then handed them to the white-robed elder.

The white-robed elder nodded slightly to Jing Yan and started to read.

"Hm?" The white-robed elder murmured in slight surprise.

As it turned out, he couldn’t discern what kind of elixir Jing Yan intended to refine.

He then looked at Jing Yan again, who simply smiled back at him.

The white-robed elder passed the Spiritual Grass Materials that Jing Yan needed to the judges for inspection.

"What elixir is Jing Yan trying to refine?" ƒrēenovelkiss.com

"Brother Sun, do you know?"

"I’m not sure either! It seems... there are no Sixth-level Elixirs that require these materials, right? It seems like there are no Seventh-level Elixirs that need these Spiritual Grasses either," Sun Qi shook his head.

"Today really is an eye-opener! Alchemist Wan Lai, as a Sixth-level Alchemist, chose to refine the Golden Pattern Sun and Moon Pill. And Alchemist Jing Yan, even more bizarrely, chose materials that even we Eighth-level Alchemists don’t recognize!" A somewhat plump judge spoke, his face showing a wry smile.

"Indeed, it’s very interesting!"

"Let’s see! I’m quite curious about what elixir Alchemist Jing Yan plans to refine!" Judge Wan Li’s eyes sparkled with anticipation.

The materials for refining the Dragon Tiger Pill were indeed very rare, but in Pill Spirit City, there were certain reserves of these materials. Therefore, it didn’t take long for all the Spiritual Grass Materials Jing Yan needed to be delivered.

Jing Yan and Wan Lai both started to prepare their Pill Furnaces for alchemy.

"Let’s begin! The two of you will have two hours," the white-robed elder nodded to them and said.

"Jing Yan!"

"I’m determined to win the first place in this Alchemy Grand Ceremony!"

"I admit, your skills in Alchemy Dao are strong. However, you can’t possibly defeat me no matter what," Wan Lai said to Jing Yan with a solemn voice.

"Is that so?" Jing Yan chuckled then looked at Wan Lai, "The results haven’t come out yet, so everything is hard to say. Alchemist Wan Lai, your confidence seems strong, but sometimes the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. It would be wise for you to be prepared for failure."

Faced with Wan Lai’s provocation, Jing Yan responded firmly.

Wan Lai’s words were purely meant to affect his mindset. If Jing Yan was indeed influenced, that might lead to mistakes during alchemy. Pill Masters need a high level of concentration when refining; a moment of distraction could lead to failure.

"Heh, do you recognize this?"

"Whoosh!"

As Wan Lai’s voice fell, he swung his arm, and a light pink halo appeared in front of him.

"Whoa!" As the pink halo emerged, Jing Yan felt a majestic power surge in the Great Hall, emanating from the halo itself.

"Is that..." Jing Yan’s eyelids twitched.

Jing Yan felt his own mind stirring as the pink halo appeared.

The surprise wasn’t just Jing Yan’s; everyone present, including most of the judges, had their eyes widen.

"Source Power?"

"Does Alchemist Wan Lai possess Source Power?" a judge exclaimed quietly.

Source Power was irresistibly tempting for pill masters, and its value was unimaginably precious, truly a priceless treasure.

Even among the judges present, there were likely only one or two who possessed Source Power, or perhaps none at all had it.

Hearing the judge’s exclamation, Jing Yan’s heart shook again.

Jing Yan had never seen Source Power before, but when Wan Lai revealed the pinkish halo, he guessed that it was Source Power.

The Wan Family was the top Alchemy Dao Family on the Heavenly Origin Continent, and surely there was Source Power within the family. However, even within the Wan Family, Source Power was extremely scarce. For Wan Lai, a Sixth-level Alchemist, to have obtained Source Power was unimaginable.

Jing Yan had heard that the total number of Source Power units in the entire Heavenly Origin Continent did not exceed ten. Most Alchemy Dao Families did not have any. While the Wan Family did possess some, there were probably at most two.

"Judge Wan Li, your family really went all out for this Alchemy Grand Ceremony!" Sun Qi sighed and said to Wan Li.

In the Alchemy Grand Ceremony, there was indeed no rule stating that alchemists couldn’t use Source Power. Thus, Wan Lai’s use of Source Power did not violate any rules. However, an alchemist who possessed Source Power undoubtedly had an exceptional advantage in this competition.

The help that Source Power provided to alchemists was indeed too significant.

Even a very ordinary Sixth-level Alchemist, once assisted by Source Power, could absolutely rise to the ranks of top-tier Sixth-level Alchemists.

"No wonder Wan Lai, a Sixth-level Alchemist, actually chose to refine the Golden Pattern Sun and Moon Pill. It turns out he has Source Power!" another judge shook his head and said.

Source Power allows alchemists to refine higher-grade elixirs and even refine elixirs above their level. For a top-tier Sixth-level Alchemist like Wan Lai, if he had Source Power and after many attempts, it was very likely he could refine a Seventh-level Elixir.

In the competition against Jing Yan, with Wan Lai intending to refine the Golden Pattern Sun and Moon Pill, he must have extensively practiced refining this pill within the Wan Family and even successfully refined it, otherwise he wouldn’t have displayed such confidence.

"It seems that the first place in this Alchemy Grand Ceremony will belong to Alchemist Wan Lai."

"Yes! No matter how strong Alchemist Jing Yan is, he can’t compare to Wan Lai who has Source Power, unless Jing Yan also possesses Source Power!"

"That’s impossible; Source Power can’t be that common," a judge shook his head.

"Maybe Alchemist Jing Yan can refine an elixir worth no less than the Golden Pattern Sun and Moon Pill?" Wan Li smiled and suggested.

Everyone could tell she was just speaking modestly, and she clearly did not believe that the elixir Jing Yan was refining could surpass the value of the Golden Pattern Sun and Moon Pill.

...

"It seems Jing Yan won’t secure the first place," Chang Huan sighed quietly, his voice low.

"Yes! With Alchemist Wan Lai having Source Power, it’s difficult for Alchemist Jing Yan to compete," Hu Donghe agreed.

"Just now, I thought Alchemist Jing Yan could take first place, but what a pity..." Chang Huan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

To be frank, Chang Huan rather hoped Jing Yan would take first place. After all, Jing Yan was only in his twenties and he seemed to have mastered the Pill Formula for the Creation Pill, and perhaps many more precious elixir formulas.
