Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor

"Wow, it's Pang Cang, the Alchemy King!"

"Oh my, Pang Cang is the Chief Alchemist of the Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion, and also a Second Grade Alchemy King! With such a formidable character personally stepping in, Longevity Hall might be in trouble this time."

"What's there to fear? Isn't Alchemist Chu not an opponent on his own? Besides, doesn't he have a master backing him? He will surely show up when the time comes. I'm really looking forward to it! A battle of Alchemy at the Alchemy King level is a rare sight in one's lifetime."

People let out bursts of exclamations, with some even screaming in excitement.

Pang Cang, both in terms of demeanor and strength, was clearly far superior to Hu Lai.

"Pang Cang, good that you're here!" Manager Pang and Pang Cang were both direct descendants of the Pang family, very familiar with each other. One handled business, the other technology, working together, they expanded and strengthened the business of the Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion.

"Rest assured, I am already informed about the matter. A mere wild alchemist from Longevity Hall, I, Pang Cang, have not even considered him in my eyes yet."

As Pang Cang spoke, his gaze swept towards the opposite side.

"Who defeated Hu Lai?"

Chu Feng responded indifferently, "It is I! A mere common alchemist from Longevity Hall!"

Pang Cang's gaze narrowed, sharp like a blade, piercing through, staring at Chu Feng.

"You have already battled with common elixirs, and you won one round. However, this Alchemy King is not interested in common elixirs, and wants to play with something more advanced. How about we battle with Talisman Elixirs?"

"Oh, right, can you craft Talisman Elixirs? It doesn't need to be too high-grade, First-grade Talisman Pills will do!"

Although Pang Cang also showed a hint of disdain towards Chu Feng, his tone and demeanor were entirely different from Hu Lai's arrogant stance. He had a solid presence, exuding a grandmaster's style.

It is like when a grandmaster faces a beginner-level novice coming to challenge, inquiring about the opponent's capabilities.

"Happened to have learned some from my master, crafting First-grade Talisman Pills shouldn't be a big problem," Chu Feng replied with a humble attitude.

"Well, let's start then!"

Pang Cang nodded and walked to the Pill Furnace, thought for a moment, then said, "Since you are quite young, I estimate you can only craft one type of Talisman Pill. You choose the type of Talisman Pill!"

An Alchemy King is indeed an Alchemy King, such demeanor commands respect from everyone at the scene.

"Can it be the Wind Talisman Elixir?" Chu Feng did not make things explicit, instead, he asked with a smile.

Crafting the Wind Movement Elixir within the Wind Talisman Elixir is the easiest way to distinguish superiority and also does not harm anyone.

"Uh... You can craft Wind Talisman Elixirs?" Pang Cang's gaze slightly stiffened, and his expression changed.

Chu Feng nodded lightly, "Sort of!" This time, it was Pang Cang's turn to feel embarrassed.

Talisman Elixirs are different from common elixirs. Although he is dignified as a Second Grade Alchemy King, he cannot craft just any Talisman Elixirs.

"I… This old man only knows how to craft Fire, Metal, Earth, and Wood Talisman Elixirs!" Pang Cang honestly admitted,

Initially hoping to present himself as a high person in front of Chu Feng and show the demeanor of an Alchemy King, but it only took minutes for Chu Feng to throw it back in his face.

Never did he expect, Chu Feng could craft the Wind Talisman Elixir, which he, the Alchemy King, could not.

Wind and Thunder Talisman Elixirs, their crafting difficulty is significantly higher than the Five Elements Talisman Pills.

Although Pang Cang felt somewhat embarrassed for not knowing how to craft Wind Talisman Elixirs, it wasn't really a disgrace.

"Then let's go with the First-grade Golden Rune Pattern Body Protecting Pill! How about that?" Chu Feng still maintained a low profile, but no one dared to underestimate him anymore. Instead, his subtle demeanor revealed a profound and untraceable depth.

Unintentionally, it suppressed the Alchemy King's aura from Pang Cang.

Chu Feng had now taken the initiative.

"Let's start!" Pang Cang was practical, without any superfluous words.

He directly had someone bring two sets of ingredients for crafting Golden Talisman Elixirs. Additionally, they also fetched two identical Talisman pens. The key part in crafting Talisman Elixirs is the engraving of runes.

Both the ingredients and the Talisman pens were exactly the same.

Moreover, Chu Feng was given the priority to choose.

This move actually caused Chu Feng to secretly develop some respect.

As before, Chu Feng was still calmly making the Golden Talisman Body Protection Elixir.

Since they were only making First-grade Talisman Pills, and both of their alchemy skills were extremely formidable, they finished almost simultaneously. It took a little more than two hours.

"Are there any Advanced Sword Masters among those present? Come forward two, to help with the testing, each will be rewarded with ten silver taels!" Pang Cang called out loudly to the onlookers.

"I'll do it! I'll do it!"

Several Advanced Sword Masters were vying to earn these ten silver taels.

"Alchemist Chu, please feel free to select two for the testing," Pang Cang said with a gracious smile.

Chu Feng was somewhat concerned about Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion playing tricks, his gaze swept over the seven or eight Advanced Sword Masters clamoring to test the elixir, finally choosing two.

"We can begin now! The First-grade Golden Rune Pattern Body Protecting Pill, the ordinary ones, can block the full force strike of a Beginner Level Sword Master. The formidable ones, blocking a full force strike from an Intermediate Sword Master is no problem. Those that can block a full force strike from an Advanced Sword Master, can be called Top-Grade."

Two Sword Masters wearing armor stepped forward.

They each picked up the First-grade Gold Rune Body Protecting Elixir crafted by Chu Feng and Pang Cang, then activated them with Sword Qi.

The person on the left held Chu Feng's Golden Talisman Elixir, and the person on the right held Pang Cang's.

All was done under the watchful eyes of the public, with no possibility of cheating.

"Start!"

The first to be tested was Pang Cang's Golden Talisman Elixir.

The first Advanced Sword Master raised his sword and struck down with full force.

Bang!

The golden protective cover vibrated intensely a few times but did not burst. A gasp of astonishment rose from the crowd.

The second Advanced Sword Master went over, "Heh," exhaling as he shouted, and struck with full force again.

Bang!

This time, one strike shattered the golden protective cover, and the Sword Qi struck the armor beneath. However, it did not cause any harm to the person inside.

"Good, it could withstand the full force strike of an Advanced Sword Master twice before shattering. The strength of Pang Cang, the Alchemy King, is there for all to see," Manager Pang exclaimed excitedly.

Around the hall, applause and cheers broke out.

Indeed, it was already very impressive.

Pang Cang, the Alchemy King, also revealed a proud smile, "Thanks to your high praise and support!" He repeatedly bowed hands, and such a humble attitude further earned him the respect of the people.

"It's time to test the effect of Longevity Hall Chu Alchemist's Golden Talisman Elixir,"

Manager Pang, eager to turn the tables, urged loudly.

The two Advanced Sword Masters went over, with the first one forcefully striking with his sword. The golden protective cover vibrated twice, standing firmly unbroken.

The second Advanced Sword Master also struck, and yet, the golden protective cover remained intact.

This caused a stir among the audience.

It turned out that the Golden Talisman Elixir crafted by this Chu Alchemist from Longevity Hall was even superior.

"Logically speaking, I have already won. How about we end it here?" Chu Feng also respected Pang Cang's integrity, which is why he took the initiative to suggest not testing further, to avoid embarrassing Pang Cang too much.

"Hmph, those two had severely depleted their strength trying to break the protective cover of Pang Cang, the Alchemy King's Golden Talisman Elixir. Hence, they were unable to break the cover with two strikes,"

Manager Pang did not accept the results and instead felt Chu Feng had taken a considerable advantage.

"In that case, you can invite two new Advanced Great Sword Masters to try breaking it!" Chu Feng said with a disdainful smile.

Pang Cang, the Alchemy King, did not say anything to stop this, clearly also wanting to regain some face through this.
