Chapter 724 - The Fight for the Alchemy Dao
“This doesn’t concern you. Move aside first.” While suppressing the anger she felt deep down, Su Nuo addressed Ling Xiaoshuang as gently as possible.
Ling Xiaoshuang smiled slightly. Before she made a decision, Di Jiu said, “I’m having fun chatting with Junior Sister Xiaoshuang. Why are you telling her to go?”
Su Nuo was speechless for a moment. She had not expected Di Jiu to talk to her like this. Was he unaware of his status?
He had come with Yueshu, but did he think that Yueshu felt great respect for him? Did he really not know that he was a mere follower who was not even considered one? While Yueshu was in a good mood, Di Jiu could stay by her side. Otherwise, Di Jiu would probably be kicked away.
She supposed almost everyone knew this except Di Jiu. To put it nicely, he was Yueshu’s suitor. To put it crudely, he was just her spare tire. A spare tire who really treated himself as a VIP of the Winter Valley.
If it weren’t for Yueshu’s dignity, Su Nuo would have slapped Di Jiu into scraps.
Ling Xiaoshuang was soft on the outside but strong on the inside. If Di Jiu had not said that, she might have stood up and stepped aside. It was not that she was afraid of Su Nuo. She actually did not take Su Nuo’s words seriously at all. After all, she was a Dao Integration expert. How could she care about insignificant Su Nuo?
Now that Di Jiu had told her not to stand up, she naturally did not move.
Upon seeing that Di Jiu had dared refute her words and Ling Xiaoshuang had not even moved, even though she could hold back, her face turned somewhat ugly.
After he said that, Xi Xili took the initiative to raise his hand.
Then, everyone else raised their hands one after another. In the end, Di Jiu saw that only four people did not raise their hands. Dan Yan and Shao Bingshan were the two parties of the debate, so they naturally did not need to raise their hands. In addition, only Di Jiu and Ling Xiaoshuang did not raise their hands.
“Xiaoshuang, why didn’t you raise your hand?” Su Nuo, who was very unhappy with Ling Xiaoshuang, suddenly asked her.
Ling Xiaoshuang smiled slightly. “Because I’m not proficient in the Alchemy Dao and I don’t know who is right. Therefore, I can’t raise my hand.”
Ling Xiaoshuang’s words made many cultivators look a little unnatural. Likewise, they also did not understand the Alchemy Dao and their level of Alchemy Dao was very low. They had raised their hands just to support Xi Xili and Shao Bingshan. Xi Xili did not have a simple background and was also a half-step Primordial Chaos expert.
Shao Bingshan was from the Heavenly Elixir Sect and was a Dao Transformation Alchemy Deity. Compared to Dan Yan, who was an Itinerant Cultivator, Shao Bingshan’s Alchemy Dao was naturally more convincing. What’s more, Dan Yan was not a Dao Transformation Alchemy Deity but a Dao Birth Alchemy Deity.
“Ah Jiu, why didn’t you raise your hand?” Yin Yueshu looked at Di Jiu with a smile. Just now, she had raised her hand to support Shao Bingshan. She had taken the initiative to bring Di Jiu to the Winter Valley and put him in the same position as her. In her opinion, Di Jiu should naturally mimic her actions.
Di Jiu replied indifferently, “I didn’t raise my hand because I think Daoist Dan Yan is right. In that case, why should I support the wrong person?”
Di Jiu’s alchemy naturally did not need the Elixir Qi in the elixir residue to improve the quality of the divine pills. However, his Alchemy Dao was much higher than Shao Bingshan’s. Using the elixir residue to improve the quality of the divine pills was definitely possible.
This was targeted at the Alchemy Masters whose Alchemy Dao was not very strong. When they were performing alchemy, the extraction of impurities was not complete so some pure useful Elixir Qi was left. Even if the Alchemy Master knew about his kind of useful Elixir Qi, they could not extract it to condense the quality of elixir pills. By doing so, they would directly convert a cauldron of elixir pills into wasted elixir pills. Not only would this not improve the quality of elixir pills, but it would also reduce the level of elixir pills.
Before creating the Nomological Alchemy Art, Di Jiu had used this kind of method. After creating it, there was almost no more useful Elixir Qi in the remnant elixir residue in the elixir pills that he had refined. Naturally, he would not use this kind of low method.
