Chapter 693

In the Moonlight Dynasty, this alone would be enough to earn one the title of "Pill King"!

He was only a single step away from the realm of Pill Saint!

Had he not been ambushed back then, it would not have taken many years before his own alchemy cultivation base reached the Saint realm!

It was precisely because he possessed such profound attainments in the Dao of Alchemy that the alchemy techniques he created were naturally beyond what this small Moonlight Dynasty's alchemy world could compare to!

Hearing this, Jiang Yan also smiled knowingly.

He naturally knew just how powerful and extraordinary those profound techniques his Master had taught him truly were!

Precisely because of this, he felt immense confidence in this Alchemy Grand Meeting, certain he could seize first place!

Not long after.

Jiang Yan smoothly arrived at the venue hosting the Alchemy Grand Meeting.

He raised his head and looked ahead.

What met his eyes was an incomparably vast plaza!

Right at the center, a massive stone platform had also been set up.

Upon it were placed four seats of honor, occupied by three men and one woman—all alchemy masters from the Mystic Pill Sect, and also the judges of this Grand Meeting!

Jiang Yan gazed at the scene before him, his heart growing ever more excited.

For him, a grand occasion with so many alchemists gathered in one place was a rare sight!

"Such a scene—if Chen-ge cannot witness it, it would be somewhat regrettable..."

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan's gaze shifted slightly, and he instantly formed a plan.

In order to record all of this.

He looked around, beginning to search for a suitable candidate.

After several breaths.

He finally locked onto one person within the crowd!

It was a girl with a delicate and pretty appearance, still radiating a touch of youthful innocence—clearly someone of little worldly experience.

Jiang Yan's eyes lit up, and he immediately walked over.

And at this moment, she sensed someone walking straight toward her.

The girl raised an eyebrow; she instinctively assumed she had encountered the kind of flirtation her senior brothers often spoke of.

She then turned her head, looking at Jiang Yan's handsome and resolute features, and the indescribable, ineffable mysterious aura emanating from his entire being.

The girl could not help but blush.

In her heart she secretly thought: Encountering such a handsome male cultivator's flirtation—perhaps that's not so bad?

Then, seeing Jiang Yan getting closer and closer, he soon arrived right before her.

The girl's lips parted slightly, just about to speak.

But just at this moment, she saw Jiang Yan suddenly pull out a pouch and hand it over.

Seeing this, the girl felt somewhat puzzled.

Yet through her perception, she still detected the dense spiritual energy contained within the pouch.

Clearly, this pouch held a great many spirit stones!

Is it really the trend nowadays to hand over a pouch of spirit stones before flirting?

A trace of bewilderment surfaced in the girl's eyes.

But she did not immediately accept it, only instinctively asking: "Fellow Daoist, what is this?"

The sound of her puzzlement had only just risen.

The next moment, she saw the other party pull out another stone and extend it toward her.

This is... an Image-Retaining Stone?

Strange, why is he giving me an Image-Retaining Stone?

The girl's puzzlement grew ever thicker in her heart; she had not the slightest clue about his strange behavior.

However, just at this moment.

Jiang Yan smiled and said in a clear, gentle voice:

"I wish to use this Image-Retaining Stone to record the scene of my participation in the Alchemy Grand Meeting, so that when I return home later, my elder brother may witness it. Now, please do me this favor, Fellow Daoist—these spirit stones shall serve as your payment."
