Chapter 777: Chapter 777: Mountains and Rivers as the Furnace, Yin and Yang as the Flame (Second Update)
The day had arrived.
Countless pill masters who heard the news had rushed over early on.
In the sky above, numerous flying boats and carriages flew in, belonging to people from noble families and sects of all regions in the Guiyi domains.
The entire Wandan City was filled with a gathering of powerful figures, an event of unprecedented scale.
Everyone wanted to see just who it was that dared to challenge the feat of becoming a Heavenly Rank alchemist, a path that countless individuals over the centuries had proved to be a dead end.
When the Quenching Elixir Ancestor appeared before the Elixir Tower with his disciples,
many alchemists, as well as members of the noble families and sects who hurried over, rose to their feet and paid their respects to him.
After all, the Quenching Elixir Ancestor had long been famous, and his formidable alchemical skills had made him a target for countless noble families and sects to court and woo.
So, such a scenario was not surprising.
However, the Quenching Elixir Ancestor today seemed to be in no mood to greet these people.
He simply nodded faintly to the crowd, his face as still as water, then walked up to a high platform, took a seat on a chair, and waited quietly.
The atmosphere began to grow somewhat oppressive.
Even those who were whispering quietly couldn’t help but lower their voices.
Time ticked by, second by second.
The sun was moving towards its zenith, and yet, Xue An still hadn’t appeared.
Many people couldn’t help but start whispering among themselves.
“This Xue An probably doesn’t have the guts to show up!”
“I think so too. I heard that this Xue An comes from the Eastern Domain, a pill master who emerged from some backwater place. What sort of experience could he possibly have? Even though he has some talent and became an Earth-Rank Elixir Master, I bet he has no idea how difficult it is to become a Heavenly Rank alchemist. That’s probably why he was bold enough to make such a brash claim in public. Once he found out more, I bet he chickened out!”
This person’s analysis was logical, causing many to nod in agreement internally.
Lü Baiyue was naturally among the crowd, but she had remained silent all along, simply watching the direction of the Judan Palace quietly.
The events of the past few days had been a tremendous shock to her.
They even made her hesitant to make any quick judgments about Xue An.
Because she always felt that with this man, miracles were always possible.
Another half hour passed.
Xue An still hadn’t appeared.
The restlessness in the crowd grew even more intense.
The murmurs began to get louder.
“Tsk, I always said this guy must be an impostor who deceives the world. Maybe even his status as an Earth-Rank Elixir Master is exaggerated, let alone that of a Heavenly Rank alchemist. That man has probably already run away by now!” said a disciple of the Quenching Elixir Ancestor who naturally spoke in support of his master.
However, many were now showing dubious expressions, not understanding why Xue An hadn’t shown up yet.
Just when everyone had become increasingly anxious and restless,
suddenly,
a radiance zipped across the sky and in an instant landed before them. If not Xue An, who else could it be?
At that moment, Xue An was dressed in ordinary clothes, his tall and upright stature exuding a proud and lofty air, as if he was an Immortal descending from above.
Setting aside everything else, just his presence alone sufficed to quiet down the crowd, who had just been buzzing with noise.
And Xue An’s next remark made everyone burst into a mix of laughter and disbelief,
“Sorry for being late, I was feeding my two daughters breakfast, and it took longer than expected!”
Many thought Xue An was joking.
But Xue An was serious.
In these past three days, Xue An, leading An Yan and his two daughters, had thoroughly enjoyed themselves in Wandan City.
And this morning, the two daughters had stayed in bed late due to playing too hard the night before, and then insisted that Xue An serve them breakfast.
