Chapter 907 - Elixir Monarch Chen Beixuan! (2/2)

“Guild Master, what should we do?”

Elder Chenyan turned around and looked at Xu Yuan. He was joined by tens of thousands of disciples.

Xu Yuan stood like a frozen statue with a heavy face. This Alchemy Battle was crucial to the guild. After winning four consecutive rounds, Chen Fan had cornered the guild even before his compet.i.tion with Elixir Lord.

The Elixir Lord’s defeat meant that the guild’s reputation had been annihilated.

The mighty Alchemy Guild who boasted of having hundreds of Grand Alchemists was defeated by one man. It took away any legitimacy of the guild’s power in the State of Ancient Medicine.

The guild members waited for a long while, which felt like a century. Finally, they heard Xu Yuan’s response.

“Elixir Lord, are you sure that Alchemist Chen has really crafted a Heavenly Pill of Earth Essence? He is only at the early-stage of the Golden Core, he can’t be a Heavenly Alchemist, nor could his pill be a Heavenly Pill. I don’t think you lost…”

Elixir Lord waved his sleeves and said, “Xu Yuan, Alchemist Chen might not be a Heavenly Alchemist, but he is an Elixir Monarch! A one in a ten thousand years genius.”

“Elixir Monarch?”

Everyone was perplexed by the term.

Everyone knew about Heavenly Alchemists, and that only a peak level Golden Core Cultivator could be a Heavenly Alchemist. That was why most of the Heavenly Alchemists were Heavenly Lords; otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to use Heavenly Cauldrons and Heavenly Fire.

Even Elixir Lord had to concentrate all of his effort in order to use the Quasi-Heavenly Cauldron and the True Fire of Earth Lung at the same time. Meanwhile, it was apparent to everyone that Chen Fan had only reached the early-stage of the Golden Core, a far cry from a Heavenly Alchemist.

But what is an Elixir Monarch?

“What? He’s an Elixir Monarch?” Wu Wendin shouted in shock.

Hearing his exclamation, people looked to him for an answer. Wu Wendin explained, “Elixir Monarch is a t.i.tle for someone who possesses one in a ten thousand years raw talent! Their abilities cannot be measured using conventional means. Although limited by his lower level of attainment, his Alchemy Art is as every bit proficient as that of a Heavenly Alchemist. He is the only person who could craft a Heavenly Pill before becoming a Heavenly Alchemist.

“However, Elixir Monarchs are extremely rare. The last Elixir Monarch was an elder from an ancient Heavenly Sect who pa.s.sed away forty thousand years ago.”

Many people let out gasps of cold air after hearing Wu Wendin’s explanation.

Suddenly, the gazes aimed at Chen Fan grew more respectful.

Chen Fan had to be more talented than a Heavenly Alchemist to be able to craft Heavenly Pills while being at lower level. Such talent and ability demanded full respect from everyone.

Countless cultivators and alchemists bowed to Chen Fan and shouted: “Elixir Monarch Chen!”

Wu Wendin and the Ancestral Patriarch of the Nin Family flew over to Chen Fan and greeted him. An Elixir Monarch was as respectable as a Heavenly Alchemist, a normal Grand Alchemist simply couldn’t compare.

After a while, Elixir Lord also walked over to greet Chen Fan with admiration and deference.

The sight terrified the guild’s disciples. The Elixir Lord was two thousand years old; still, he treated Chen Fan as if he were his master.

“He is the Elixir Monarch!”

Qiao Qiao cavorted in joy and did a couple of laps around Ge Yan.

The guild disciples looked to the girl in jealousy. As Chen Fan’s status grew, so would hers.

“If I had only known Alchemist Chen was a mighty Elixir Monarch, I would beg him to craft the Nine Transformation Spirit Pill for me,” Violet Moon Fairy said with regret.

Hu Xiao plastered a smile on his face, but he clenched his fist tightly, trying to rein in the flaring anger inside him.

Wu Baisu pulled a taut face and spoke to the girl next to her, “Sister, the Ancestral Patriarch recently asked us to do whatever we could to win Chen Beixuan over. He might even offer marrying you off as a reward.”

“Seventh sister, what are you talking about?”

Wu Qinyan blushed as she stomped the ground in embarra.s.sment.

Wu Baisu giggled and said, “Humph, as if you wouldn’t want that. He is the Elixir Monarch, plus, he’s not hard on eyes either.” Then her voice grew more serious, “Seriously though… The Alchemy Guild was defeated and they will likely be under Chen Beixuan’s thumb now. If you have Chen Beixuan on your side, you have the entire Alchemy Guild. Do you see it now?”

“Yes, seventh sister.”

Wu Qinyan paused a second and then nodded.

Similar conversations were carried out in many family clans and sects.

The appearance of an Elixir Monarch was a shocking revelation. Although he was not as powerful as a Heavenly Alchemist, he could craft Heavenly Pills all the same.

“Elixir Monarch, please follow me to the Alchemist Tower. The Alchemy Guild will pay its dues in full. However, I wish you would be so kind as to teach me a thing or two,” Elixir Lord said, begging.

The two thousand year old alchemist acted like a servile disciple in front of Chen Fan.

The other elders and the guild masters followed his lead and squeezed smiles on their faces. As for Situ Cheng, he didn’t even get the chance to stand close to Chen Fan.

Many disciples of the Alchemy Guild could only look at Chen Fan from a distance.

“Don’t worry. I promised to leave the guild unharmed. All I need is a few Spirit Medicines in your vault,” Chen Fan said.

“You can have the entire vault if you like. What is ours is yours,” Elixir Lord said.

His response was echoed by the other leaders of the guild.

The crowd then led Chen Fan into the Alchemy Tower.

Many elders watched in jealousy as Chen Fan pocketed the Heavenly Pill of Earth Essence before they followed Chen Fan into the tower, begging him to teach them one thing or two from time to time. Countless people in the audience watched the development unfold, knowing that another mighty figure had risen in the Beihuang Region.

“The world is going to change,” someone exclaimed.

Tianhuang Calendar, July 5th 129653

Chen Fan defeated the Elixir Lord at the top of the Alchemist Tower and became the most powerful Alchemist in the Beihuang Region.

The news shook the entire Beihuang Region.
