BXBX NOVEL Chapter 244 - Earth Grade Alchemist
BANG!
Soon, the dark clouds subsided and the sky slowly turned back into its crystal clear blue sky.
"It\'s finally over."
"I thought my life was going to die."
The elders who were situated outside Elder Jing\'s courtyard breathed a sigh of relief when the dark cloud vanished from their sect.
Although they had heard about pill clouds before, this was their first time witnessing such an event.
"Thank goodness we reacted in time and created a formation to defend the surroundings." Elder Tan muttered in a low voice as he glanced around the destruction level around Elder Jing\'s courtyard.
Meanwhile, back inside the courtyard, Elder Jing quickly dashed forward to catch Yang Wei who seemed to have lost consciousness for a brief moment.
"Yang Wei, can you hear my voice?" Elder Jing placed him in her embrace as she asked in a concerned tone.
With Yang Wei being unresponsive, Elder Jing proceeded to check on his pulse and realized he had simply exhausted his spiritual qi.
"This Yang Wei- how could he act this reckless." Elder Jing pouted slightly but her facial expression was blissful as she held a smooth and round pill in her hand.
The pill was glistening in a milky white color and numerous pill marks were engraved on it, forming a cloudy image.
"A Peak Earth Grade that can be on par with a Sky Grade alchemy pill." Elder Jing smiled at Yang Wei as she gave him a light peck on the forehead.
"Congratulations on becoming the first in the Phoenix Kingdom in refining a Peak Earth Grade alchemy pill with pill cloud mark." She whispered lovingly, almost like a housewife smiling at her husband\'s magnificent work.
Sometime later, Yang Wei opened his eyelids and saw Elder Jing looking at him with the tenderest gaze he had ever seen in his life.
"Jing Feng, did I look that handsome?" Yang Wei teased as he held her hand.
Elder Jing blushed slightly as she nodded her head.
"You little freak- your alchemy skills might surpass me soon." Elder Jing pouted as she revealed the product of his creation.
Yang Wei glanced at the pill cloud mark on his pill with a gawking expression.
"A pill cloud mark? Doesn\'t that mean the effect is amplified by a ton?" Yang Wei asked.
"Mhmm, if this pill were to be auctioned off, it would be worth at least around 10-20 million spirit stones." Elder Jing replied swiftly.
Yang Wei smiled silly like a fool as he started leaning in closer for a kiss.
Elder Jing blushed from his action but still, she closed her eyes like some little girl would do as she waited for the kiss to happen.
Right when the kiss was about to happen, a female suddenly barged inside and warned them.
"I wouldn\'t do that if I were you guys since there are more people coming in soon." Elder Shan\'s teasing voice resounded.
Yang Wei and Elder Jing both pulled away from each other as they cursed Elder Shan in their mind.
\'Damn it, I was so close to the victory reward.\' Yang Wei clenched his fist tightly.
\'This vixen Shan Zhilan had to ruin a beautiful moment.\' Elder Jing cursed Elder Shan as she was disappointed in this situation.
However, their anger soon subsided when multiple elders barged inside and started bombarding Elder Jing with questions.
"Elder Jing, congratulations on your advancement in alchemy."
"Elder Jing is truly the pride of our Feather Wind Sect. To be able to form a pill cloud mark in her pills and defend against the heaven\'s wrath."
They started bootlicking her as soon as they got a chance to do so since Elder Jing\'s reputation and influence had soared to a new height with this phenomenal display.
Elder Jing held a dumbfounded expression at their bootlicking skills.
\'I\'m not even the one who refined it…\' Elder Jing twitched her mouth as she tried to correct them.
However, Yang Wei suddenly cupped his fist and bowed in reverence toward Elder Jing.
"Elder Jing is truly an amazing alchemist and this junior is immensely impressed by her skills." Yang Wei started singing praises as well to Elder Jing.
"Hmph, despite her rowdy behavior, Elder Jing is indeed a worthy person for others to follow an example of." Elder Tan said in his tsundere behavior.
Meanwhile, Elder Jing glared angrily at Yang Wei as she realized he intended to pass this glory to her.
One, it could boost her reputation to new heights, and secondly, it would conceal the fact that he had the ability to create a pill cloud.
Elder Jing gave an awkward smile as she glanced at the many elders.
"Thank you everyone for coming in here and helping protect the surrounding area during the pill cloud formation." Elder Jing then thanked them for their appearance.
"However, I would kindly ask everyone to come another time since I\'m exhausted after dealing with those thunders." She added.
Everyone nodded their heads in understanding.
"Indeed, it must have been gruesome to deal with those thunders and Elder Jing must have been exhausted."
"Yes, we should come in another time when Elder Jing recovers her health."
The elders soon cupped their fists toward Elder Jing as they dismissed themselves and wished for her fast recovery.
Elder Jing bid them all farewell until her gaze landed on Elder Shan.
"Why are you still here, Shan Zhilan?" Elder Jing said in an unwelcoming tone.
Elder Shan curled her lips upward as she winked at Yang Wei who tried to conceal himself in the corner.
She proceeded to walk toward him, shocking Elder Jing when she wrapped her arms around Yang Wei\'s neck.
"You shouldn\'t try to kick me out and not show me bad hospitality, Jing Feng." Elder Shan sneered as she breathed in closer to Yang Wei\'s earlobe.
