Chapter 619: Alchemist Hall Master!

Sect notice.

"Hall Master Yan Buji of the Lian Dan Tang?"

"Is there still anyone in the Lian Dan Tang now?"

"I don't know; I heard it's a newly recruited Fivefold Transformation Alchemist."

"Only Fivefold Transformation? Then I want to find someone to craft Celestial Pills."

"The Nima Celestial Pill you brew—can you even use it at the Foundation Establishment Stage?"

Outer Gate disciples basically can't be at the Nascent Soul stage, so naturally they don't need Six-turn Celestial Pills.

Unless it's some very special elixir, but commissioning someone to craft Six-turn Celestial Pills already involves costly Spiritual and Celestial Materials, and the payment isn't trivial. Even if they are within the Paolong Sacred Land, the contribution value required isn't something that can be accumulated in just a few years.

Ye Lin stood at the front, puzzled, and asked: "So now we can go to the Lian Dan Tang and ask him to brew alchemy?"

"Since the Lian Dan Tang now has someone in charge, they should help us brew alchemy, right?"

"It seems written that payment is made via contribution points, registering Spiritual Materials at the Internal Affairs Hall, then forwarding them to the Lian Dan Tang."

"But who knows what Yan Buji's success rate in pill-making is?"

Everyone was also a bit worried; a Fivefold Transformation Alchemist sounds impressive, but not much within the Paolong Sacred Land. Moreover, if they only need ordinary pills they could just buy them outside without difficulty; only some people require special pills.

So everyone hesitated a bit and didn't go immediately.

Ye Lin walked over, looked at the Golden Core cultivator who posted the notice, and with a bow asked: "Senior Brother Ma Liu, how is Hall Master Yan's alchemy skill?"

Ma Liu looked at Ye Lin, smiled, and said: "When I was promoted to Golden Core, it was the pills Hall Master Yan brewed that allowed my breakthrough, so his skill is unquestionable. Moreover, this time he solved a major issue for an Inner Gate Elder, so Hall Master Yan's alchemy attainment can be trusted."

Ye Lin nodded: "Oh, I see."

That's fine; after all, we previously went to a secret realm and obtained an ancient pill formula. Since his skill is not low, we could go over and ask for guidance.

Ye Lin thought, he had always been interested in Alchemy Technique, and hearing Ma Liu's words he knew the other party was certainly not a pretender; his only worry was that the other might also not understand that pill formula.

On the other side.

Yan Buji looked at Mo Dengqing, and the other also stared at him.

"What? Fairy Mo, is something the matter?"

"Not really anything, but I didn't expect you could cling to Elder Ximen's thigh," Mo Dengqing laughed.

"Hmph, I can only say Elder Feng is still not ruthless enough," Yan Buji snorted a laugh.

Mo Dengqing frowned: "What do you mean?"

"If it were me, I could simply take credit for the Delicious Pill; the only slight inconvenience would be getting the formula from me, the Alchemist. However, whether by bribery or intimidation, there's always a way to get it into one's hands."

Mo Dengqing thought carefully, shook her head: "Then wouldn't you completely side with Yao Wen? At that point you'd leak this matter, and Yao Wen would use the opportunity to suppress Elder Feng, making him bully the weak and even deceive Elder Ximen; how could he still survive in the Outer Gate?"

Yan Buji smiled: "But there is another method."

"What?"

"Frame someone and shift the blame."

Mo Dengqing's pupils contracted; for a moment she sensed how vicious the old man's mind was!

He even took on Feng Yue's role, caring not about his own life, as if after Feng Yue obtained the formula he would secretly kill him and frame Yao Wen.

As for the motive, Feng Yue could simply claim that Yao Wen coveted the Delicious Pill formula in Yan Buji's hands, intending to use it to blackmail Elder Ximen.

"Even if no one believes it, once the water is stirred, who will care about the truth beneath?"

If he were Feng Yue, Yao Wen would have already been defeated.

But this also indirectly confirms that if Yan Buji gains power, his enemies will likely have a hard time thereafter.

Mo Dengqing pondered: "So it seems, facing these situations, you have many plans."

"Having many plans only guarantees a basic success rate; no scheme is guaranteed to succeed," Yan Buji said.

Mo Dengqing thought: "Alright, but this time I came with something to tell you."

"Go ahead."

"In a few days the Outer Gate Grand Assembly will be held, and many Golden Core disciples will seek to use this chance to enter the Inner Gate; the pressure on your side won't be small."

"Pressure?" Yan Buji pinched his chin: "You mean those people will ask me to brew pills?"

"Pretty much."

"Hmph, as long as I don't brew Celestial Pills, the problem isn't big," Yan Buji said confidently.

"Hope so,"

After Mo Dengqing left, Yan Buji sat in the room and thought carefully.

"It seems someone will soon come to ask me to brew alchemy."

A day later.

Yan Buji stood at the Lian Dan Tang entrance, and a few Golden Core cultivators walked up.

"Hall Master Yan, we disciples have come to pay our respects."

Yan Buji smiled: "No need for formalities, please come in."

Yan Buji looked at them, fully aware of their importance.

Whether his alchemy can gain the Outer Gate disciples' recognition is also a way to solidify his position.

Matters within the sect are actually simpler than outside; at least being in this position, as long as you have strength, no one will look down on you.

Yan Buji ushered the few into the Lian Dan Tang, sitting in the courtyard: "Are you all here to brew alchemy?"

"Yes, we heard Hall Master Yan is also a Fivefold Transformation Alchemist; we wish to purchase some pills."

"In that case, please register and verify your contribution at the Internal Affairs Hall; then I will naturally begin brewing on my end."

The few asked oddly: "Why doesn't Hall Master Yan do it himself? If we go through the Internal Affairs Hall procedure, we have to pay more, and Hall Master Yan ends up receiving less."

Yan Buji shook his head: "I am new here, and having luckily taken this position, I can't have everything fall to me."

The few also heard the helplessness in Yan Buji's words and expressed understanding.

But at that moment, Ye Lin said, "Since we can't actively refine pills, how about discussing the pill formula?"

Yan Buji looked over; he had also discovered the Outer Gate prodigy early on, and in just a few days without seeing any magical power they had actually progressed a lot, nearly reaching the mid Foundation Establishment stage!

Yan Buji said solemnly, "Discussing the pill formula is no problem, but the formula is quite precious; can you really discuss it with me?"

"Would Hall Master Yan casually spread it around?" Ye Lin laughed.

"That would never happen."

"In fact, not only do I trust Hall Master Yan's character," Ye Lin said, pulling out an ancient scroll: "We obtained this pill formula from a Secret Realm, but after long study we got no clue. We originally thought to ask the Alchemists of the sect, but they were all transferred to the Inner Gate."

"Oh, I see."

Yan Buji took the scroll, unfolded it and looked.

Hm?

It is.....

"Yin‑Yang Reverse Pill?!"
