Chapter 765

Two days passed in a flash!

Xu Que was very uncomfortable living here, almost dazed by the incense smoke. If it weren't for the fact that he only needed to wait two days, he would have run away long ago.

Fortunately, after two days of waiting, the Divine Pill Assembly finally arrived!

The entire assembly could be said to be an alchemy competition.

When Xu Que arrived, the open area outside the tower was already crowded with people, filled with onlookers.

And in the middle, there were countless alchemy furnaces. At a glance, there were at least a hundred, and looking closely, there were at least five hundred!

This meant that there would be over five hundred people participating in the Divine Pill Assembly for the alchemy competition!

"Just in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect region, there are so many alchemists? What if someone really refines a pill that can treat anorexia? Wouldn't that be tragic!" Xu Que couldn't help but click his tongue, feeling a bit unsure.

After all, on Earth, anorexia wasn't impossible to cure; it was just a bit troublesome.

And now in such a vast cultivation world, there were many cultivators with great magical powers. Anorexia shouldn't be enough to stump everyone, right?

Xu Que frowned, worried about being intercepted by others.

"Don't be nervous. If it fails, we'll find the Buddha Master and talk!" At this time, Jiang Hongyan's jade hand reached out, held Xu Que's hand, and said softly.

She understood Xu Que; if he were full of confidence, this guy would definitely be looking proud right now, not frowning.

Xu Que shook his head. "I'm not nervous, I'm just worried about being beaten to the punch by others, or that the Little Buddha Girl's symptoms are severe and the medicine refined isn't potent enough to solve her anorexia!"

"It doesn't matter, go quickly, I'll wait for you here!" Jiang Hongyan smiled slightly, and her hand gently brushed across Xu Que's cheek.

Xu Que instantly ignited a sense of confidence and nodded immediately. "Wait for my triumphant return!"

After saying this, he stepped forward.

At the same time, he couldn't help but raise a smile at the corners of his mouth. No wonder they say there's a great woman behind every successful man!

Jiang Hongyan was not only great but also powerful and understanding; she was absolutely a perfect woman who took care of both inside and outside!

Xu Que still had many distracting thoughts in his heart just now, worrying about small problems like being snatched away by others. An ordinary person would definitely comfort him with a few words and say "Come on, you can do it" and that would be it!

But Jiang Hongyan was different. Just one sentence, "Go quickly, I'll wait for you here," made Xu Que understand that she didn't care about success or failure, but just wanted Xu Que to finish his business and come back quickly!

To summarize in a straightforward sentence—"To me, success or failure doesn't matter; you are the most important!"

……

Xu Que squeezed through the crowd and arrived at the entrance guarded by several martial monks, handing over the Divine Pill Token.

Several martial monks immediately let him pass and guided him to an alchemy furnace.

Five hundred eighty-seven!

This was the number on Xu Que's wooden token, and it was also the serial number of the alchemy furnace in front of him, corresponding to each other.

One could imagine that when Xu Que signed up, there were already over five hundred eighty people in front of him, so his position now was very inconspicuous, in a very unremarkable corner.

In front of the other furnaces, almost all the alchemists were in position. The most eye-catching ones were the few independent furnaces in the front row, which were still empty at this time.

Usually, in such a situation, Xu Que would ask to change his position!

As a generation of the King of Acting Cool, he should stand in the spotlight of everyone's attention; how could he stay in a corner?

But now, he felt it didn't matter!

Because there was always a gentle gaze in the crowd watching him, and that was enough.

"Clang!"

At this time, a monk struck a large bell, and the crisp bell sound rang out!

"Welcome the nine-star alchemy master—Master Yun Yang Zi to the scene!" Accompanied by the monk's shout, an old man stepped into the arena and stood in front of one of the independent furnaces in the front row.

Many alchemists present immediately cast looks of reverence, and the surrounding crowd also stirred.

"My god, the Buddha Master is truly amazing, he even invited Yun Yang Zi!"

"This Master Yun Yang Zi is one of the few nine-star alchemy masters on our Xuanzhen Continent. There aren't many people who can get him to personally come over to refine pills!"

"What's that? It is said that the Buddha Master even personally invited the Alchemy Demon Elder this time!"

"Holy crap, then this Divine Pill Assembly is going to be a competition between those few!"

"That's for sure. Except for those few who have hope of refining medicine to treat the Little Buddha Girl's strange disease, the rest are just here to make up the numbers!"

"Haha, that's right. With those few masters taking action, there must be others to serve as foils to know how powerful those few are!"

The onlookers discussed spiritedly, and Xu Que also raised his head to look at the old man.

There was nothing unusual about him; he looked like an old man with the bearing of an immortal, white-haired and youthful-faced, very common in the cultivation world!

However, the title of nine-star alchemy master was not common!

There was only a "master" difference between an alchemy master and an alchemist, but it separated a level that many people found difficult to cross in a lifetime.

In the Five Elements Mountain, a nine-star alchemist was almost a god-like existence.

In the Four Great Continents, the status of a nine-star alchemist was also extraordinary, but if one crossed the nine-star alchemist and entered the one-star alchemy master level, they would be existences that countless sects and forces would scramble to curry favor with.

Nowadays, a nine-star alchemy master had appeared on the Xuanzhen Continent. If this were in the Four Great Continents, it would probably attract a pile of big shots to worship and kneel to lick!

"Clang!"

At this time, another bell sound rang!

"Welcome the nine-star alchemy master—Master Zhuo Feng to the scene!"

Instantly, another old man appeared.

People were shocked again, and Xu Que's mouth twitched. The Xuanzhen Continent was indeed much more powerful than the Four Great Continents; nine-star alchemy masters were everywhere!

"Clang!"

Soon, the bell was struck again.

"Please welcome the Buddha Master!"

Clang!

"Welcome the one-star alchemy grandmaster—Master Alchemy Demon to the scene!"

With two consecutive shouts, many alchemists present were moved, and even the two masters, Yun Yang Zi and Zhuo Feng, immediately cast looks of surprise and awe!

At the same time, the crowd of onlookers also exploded.

"Holy crap, the Alchemy Demon Elder was really invited by the Buddha Master!"

"He is the only alchemy grandmaster on the Xuanzhen Continent!"

"Incredible, this time the Little Buddha Girl's strange disease must be saved!"

"It seems the Buddha Master must have paid a considerable price. It is known that the Alchemy Demon Elder has a very foul temper and won't give anyone face, so he's not someone who can be invited at will!"

……

Amidst the discussion, Xu Que also raised his head to look.

He saw a pot-bellied middle-aged man leading a sallow and thin little girl walking onto the high platform.

At the same time, a black-faced old man walked behind them, ignoring everyone's attention and discussion, full of thoughtful expression, and was led to the alchemy furnace in the front row!

Obviously, the pot-bellied middle-aged man who smiled like a Maitreya Buddha was the Buddha Master Zeng, and the black-faced old man was the only alchemy grandmaster—the Alchemy Demon Elder!

But what Xu Que paid special attention to was the little girl beside the middle-aged man, who should be the Little Buddha Girl who had anorexia.

Although she was sallow and thin, her features were very delicate, and she stood obediently on the high platform, looking very cute. No wonder so many people felt heartache for her after she got sick!

"A bit troublesome!"

Looking at her appearance, Xu Que couldn't help but touch his chin and frown, whispering to himself, "So thin, I guess she hasn't eaten for a while. Digestive tablets probably won't be of much use!"

But a few breaths later, his eyes lit up slightly. "Looks like I have to use that thing!"
