Chapter 1292 Yaoyao’s Training (1/2)

News of Zhou Yuan taking over from Xu Beiyan soon spread to the entire All-Heavens City.

It naturally caused quite a commotion. After all, Xu Beiyan had performed pretty well for the past two years. It had been a long and tough journey to achieve the current level of stability and gradually increasing yield. Won’t suddenly replacing him waste all of this hard earned experience?

Moreover, although Zhou Yuan’s Spirit had advanced to the Allroamer stage, he was still very green. In comparison, Xu Beiyan had slowly solidified his Allroamer stage foundations for many years, and was likely much better in Spirit control than Zhou Yuan, right?

Due to all of these reasons, almost no one optimistic about Zhou Yuan taking over.

However, this decision was personally made by the goddess, and even the Saints experts stationed in All-Heavens City could not change anything. This made many people jealous...

The goddess was clearly perfect, why would she do such a thing for a mere Zhou Yuan?

Could even the goddess be unable to escape from shackles of the heart?

But why was that someone not me!

Fortunately, Zhou Yuan was rather tactful. He had declared that if the pill yield rate did not surpass Xu Beiyan’s in the next pill production session, he would voluntarily give up the position.

However, some people felt that he was only finding a way out for himself to prevent losing all face if things didn't work out.

At least he had a little smarts.

However, he was ultimately too young and prideful. If he felt that he was not up to the task, he should have rejected the position in the first place. Failing after causing such a commotion would not only bring shame to himself but also implicate the goddess.

Due to this matter, an air of excitement enveloped All-Heavens City.

Teams that returned from their missions put their next missions on hold, intending to personally witness the outcome of the next pill production session. After all, it was a matter that deeply affected their interests.

...

While All-Heavens City was abuzz with this matter, the main actor, Zhou Yuan began his Ancestral Dragon Pill cramming session under Yaoyao’s supervision.

“Thirteen Law Domain experts will provide a continuous supply of Genesis Qi as fuel throughout the process...

“As my assistant, your main task is to control their Genesis Qi and adjust the output according to what I need to refine the main ingredient, the Ancestral Dragon will fragments.”

In a peaceful and secluded courtyard.

Yaoyao was elegantly seated on a bench inside a stone pavilion. Tuntun napped on her long legs like a little doggy, while she stroked its fur and explained to Zhou Yuan, who was seated on a sizable rock in front of her.

“Can’t believe it requires a continuous supply of Genesis Qi from thirteen Law Domain experts…” Zhou Yuan was amazed. The Ancestral Dragon Pill was indeed extraordinary. Just the line-up for the provision of Genesis Qi alone was something the entire Tianyuan Region could not fulfil.

“That won’t be easy.”

Zhou Yuan’s expression turned grave. The Genesis Qi of thirteen Law Domain experts was tremendous. To direct and control such a huge amount was definitely no easy task.

“Although it’s one of the more difficult aspects, it is not the most problematic. After all, this is not a fight and the Law Domain experts will not intentionally resist you. Hence, your Allroamer stage Spirit should be able to achieve it after some training.”

Yaoyao's drawn out voice sounded, “The joint alchemy process is the most troublesome part. As my assistant, you must be aware of every change in the alchemy cauldron and send out each wave of Genesis Qi to precise locations at the correct timing.

“Xu Beiyan had been unable to grasp this rhythm during his first year, leading to numerous failures. As the failures piled up, he gradually managed to grasp the rhythm, but still can’t do it perfectly. Hence why the yield has not never been high.”

Zhou Yuan nodded with a thoughtful look on his face. This was indeed a very troublesome part. He had to guide the Genesis Qi of thirteen Law Domain experts while paying close attention to Yaoyao’s rhythm. Any slight mistake in between would affect the final result.

However, there seemed to be no shortcut. The only method he could see was slowly grasping the rhythm through trial and error.

The problem was that he did not have much time.

“When is the next session?” asked Zhou Yuan.

“All-Heavens City conducts two sessions a month. The next one should be in half a month’s time.”

Zhou Yuan winced. Even Xu Beiyan had taken a year to get used to the rhythm, wasn’t it far too difficult for him to do it in half a month?

Upon seeing his expression, the corners of Yaoyao’s mouth curled upwards. “To be honest, this part will be the easiest for you instead.”
