Chapter 193: Chapter 193: Clash of Spiritual Power
"Father, how is great-grandfather’s condition?" Yu Yuanshan asked after saluting everyone present, and immediately inquired.
Yu Zhijing shook his head, his expression slightly solemn, "Not optimistic, we are currently discussing how to treat him."
"This is Master Qian Bai from the Celestial Lashing Star, a Sixth Grade Alchemist."
"And here is Master Wu Sheng from the Celestial Wind Star, also a Sixth Grade."
He introduced the elders present to Yu Yuanshan, all of whom had notable backgrounds and identities.
Alchemists, even considering the entire Daoxuan Star Realm, are extremely rare, especially those who have reached the Sixth Grade level. Across the Daoxuan, it’s hard to find many.
Now, these two masters, coming from the Celestial Lashing Star and Celestial Wind Star respectively, were invited by the Yu Family at great cost.
Moreover, they have already examined the Yu family patriarch’s condition, but concluded that a true cure is difficult, and they could only try to concoct an Eighth Grade Elixir called ’Spirit Guard Pill’ to temporarily awaken the Yu Family patriarch.
"Just temporarily awaken him..."
Yu Yuanshan frowned, even the two Sixth Grade Alchemists had no solution.
He was unsure if Ji Chen’s Myriad Calamities Pill was really effective.
After all, even though he only knew the name of the Myriad Calamities Pill, he was not aware of its grade.
And Ji Chen being an alchemist indeed surprised him, but in Yu Yuanshan’s view, Ji Chen’s knowledge in the Alchemy Dao seemed only to be around Fifth or Sixth Grade, far from the Sixth Grade.
Even the two Sixth Grade Alchemists had no solution, Ji Chen’s Myriad Calamities Pill likely wouldn’t hold much hope either.
"Yuanshan, this is..."
Yu Zhijing turned his gaze to Ji Chen, puzzled as to why Yu Yuanshan brought such a young man back.
"I am Ji Chen, greetings to the Yu Patriarch."
Ji Chen slightly cupped his hands, then continued, "I have also come to treat the Yu family patriarch."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Yu Zhijing was taken aback, clearly not expecting this, "Could it be that young friend also understands alchemy?"
Ji Chen simply nodded without saying much, then spoke, "I need to check the Yu family patriarch’s condition."
"The Yu family patriarch’s condition has already been examined by us both, there’s no need for young friend to do more."
At that moment, Master Qian Bai, sitting a short distance away, spoke, glancing at Ji Chen with a hint of arrogance in his demeanor.
This was a Sixth Grade Alchemist, with a prestigious status, reaching such an attainment; even a Di Race had to treat respectfully and dare not neglect them.
Let alone now in the face of a young junior like Ji Chen.
"What you see and what I see should not be the same, and before alchemy, I also need to know the current condition of the Yu family patriarch, correct?" Ji Chen spoke.
Hearing these words, Qian Bai and Wu Sheng, the two Sixth Grade Alchemists, exchanged glances, and one couldn’t help but ask, "From what young friend suggests, do you also have a treatment plan? What kind of elixir is it?"
"Myriad Calamities Pill." Ji Chen replied but didn’t explain further.
"In my years of alchemy... I have never heard of the Myriad Calamities Pill, the Yu family patriarch’s condition is complex, it’s not suitable to recklessly use elixirs." Master Qian Bai shook his head, feeling that Ji Chen was a bit too youthful and impetuous, although he understood alchemy, the condition of the Yu family patriarch, even they, as two Sixth Grade Alchemists, had no true cure, so how could this young junior truly accomplish it?
Yu Zhijing felt the same way.
The main reason was Ji Chen’s age was too young; at such an age, how high could his attainment in the Alchemy Dao be?
The elixirs he concocted couldn’t truly cure the patriarch.
"Just because you haven’t heard of it, doesn’t mean it isn’t useful, there are so many elixirs in the world, has Master Qian Bai heard of every single one?" Ji Chen spoke calmly.
He was currently of Ninth Grade attainment, far above Masters Qian Bai and Wu Sheng, but was undervalued because he was so young, which felt strange to Ji Chen.
If it weren’t for the Profound Yellow Ancestral Qi, Ji Chen would have long turned away, why would he waste time talking to them this much?
"I wouldn’t dare claim to know every elixir in the world, but in terms of experience and more, I don’t consider myself below young friend." Qian Bai’s voice slightly sank, clearly agitated by Ji Chen’s stance and words.
One must understand, given his standing in the Alchemy Dao, across the Daoxuan Star Realm, wherever he went, he was treated with utmost respect.
Especially among those in the Alchemy Dao, upon meeting him, who wouldn’t be respectful?
Ji Chen, a young man, an Alchemy Realm junior, yet so conceited before him, was naturally intolerable for Qian Bai.
Wu Sheng also spoke, "Who did you learn from? Did they not teach you the importance of respecting your master?"
"You are neither my master nor my Dao, so where is this need for me to show respect?" Ji Chen retorted, his temper rising.
"Such arrogance."
Qian Bai snorted coldly, the entirety of him stood up from his seat.
"Buzz!"
In an instant, an unseen pressure pressed toward Ji Chen.
This pressure did not originate from cultivation but was the spiritual power belonging to an Alchemist.
Apart from the Alchemist, like Yu Zhijing, Yu Yuanshan, and others, they almost couldn’t perceive it.
"Buzz!"
Ji Chen squinted, the Palace Sea within him also surged with spiritual power, clashing fiercely with Qian Bai’s spiritual power in an instant.
"Puff!"
The next moment, Qian Bai’s complexion turned pale as if he’d been struck, retreating while coughing blood uncontrollably.
"Master Qian Bai?"
Witnessing such a scene, everyone present couldn’t help but be stunned.
Especially Wu Sheng, also a Sixth Grade Alchemist, he sensed the terrifying spiritual power Ji Chen just released, strong beyond his imagination.
"How is this possible..."
Blood dripped from Qian Bai’s mouth, his face full of astonishment, staring blankly at Ji Chen. It took him a while to react, "Your spiritual power... could it be Ninth Grade?"
It’s not just him, even Wu Sheng’s face was now unusually shocked, utterly incredulous.
Both of them were Sixth Grade Pill Masters, but the intensity of that spiritual power, compared to Ji Chen, was far too weak.
There was only one explanation, that Ji Chen’s attainment in the Alchemy Dao was at least Ninth Grade!
But how could this be?
A young man who appeared just over twenty, was actually a Ninth Grade Alchemist, something like this, throughout the Daoxuan Star Realm, in ages past, no one could possibly have accomplished it, right?
