I was just making up techniques… how did all of you become Emperors? Chapter 673 673: The Two Great Disciples of Wendao Sect Both Become Saints

"Fellow Daoist Qiankun makes a valid point. After all, we've already waited this long. A few more days won't hurt."

"That's right. Let's wait a bit longer."

"..."

While the Saints and Great Sages discussed, they kept drinking. As they finished one cup after another, the banquet slowly drew to a close.

Once back in his quarters, Chu Feng messaged Jiang Yan, inviting him to the Holy Court to watch the alchemy process.

Right after sending it, a system alert rang in his mind.

"Host's disciple Ji Jiuwu has advanced to the Saint Realm. Host is rewarded with ninety-nine points of Dao Essence."

That was quick?

Chu Feng hadn't anticipated Ji Jiuwu reaching Saint status so swiftly. Next up, refining that Godhead fragment would grant him yet another Godhead. All that remained was for Jiang Yan to achieve Sainthood.

It looked like within a hundred years, he could ascend to Divine King with twelve Godheads. Then, he'd be able to summon his True God Totems. This prospect filled him with a strange thrill, and he drifted off to sleep satisfied.

Seven days passed, and Jiang Yan reached the Holy Court. It marked his initial visit there. Gazing at the immortal-like Holy Court, teeming with Saints and Great Sages, he at last grasped the nature of the sect he'd joined.

Before long, Jiang Yan trailed Shi Xuan to Chu Feng's dwelling. Stepping inside, he spotted the master he'd yearned for constantly and bowed at once. "Disciple Jiang Yan greets Master."

"Skip the formalities."

A faint smile tugged at Chu Feng's lips. He scrutinized Jiang Yan closely and noted the youth was just one Grand Dao truth short of Sainthood at nine hundred ninety-nine.

"You're nearly a Saint yourself. I trust this Dao Fruit Pill refining will offer you valuable insights."

Jiang Yan's eyes lit up at those words. His trip to the Holy Court aimed first at witnessing his master's alchemy, and second at finding a breakthrough chance to the Saint Realm. He hadn't foreseen his master granting him such an opportunity.

He hastily clasped his hands and declared, "Disciple is grateful to Master."

"There's no need for thanks."

Chu Feng instructed Fang Mu nearby, "Xiao Mu, inform everyone that in seven days, I'll commence alchemy in the pill room. All are welcome to observe."

"Got it."

Fang Mu responded and departed promptly.

Another seven days elapsed, and in Chu Feng's vast alchemy chamber, a throng had assembled. Chu Feng positioned himself at the alchemy furnace, with Fang Mu and Jiang Yan lending assistance.

When Chu Feng summoned the Heavenly Flame, he started the pill refinement at a leisurely pace. His movements weren't rushed, and his methods were straightforward, enabling all to view them crystal clear.

Yet, it wasn't long before the observers spotted a major issue. Divine King Qiankun's approach fused the Heavenly Flame with his own efforts in pill-making. This part they simply couldn't replicate. They had to settle for picking up on other skills.

Still, Divine King Qiankun's alternative techniques didn't stand out much from their own. In certain areas, his handling even fell short of theirs.

Does that imply we must instruct our Heavenly Flames in alchemy too?

This idea popped into the heads of numerous alchemists.

Time flowed by steadily. Chu Feng proceeded with the refinement calmly, now and then responding to queries from Fang Mu and Jiang Yan.

The onlookers stood stunned by this display. They too yearned to practice alchemy in such a relaxed fashion.

Ninety-nine days in, a radiant pill light shone above the furnace. In the Holy Court, pill refinement freed one from pill tribulations' worries. Thus, this set of Dao Fruit Pills counted as a success. All eyes fixed on the furnace, eager for Chu Feng to reveal it and expand their knowledge.

With the furnace lid lifted by Chu Feng, a superior-grade Dao Fruit Pill, glowing with purple-golden hues, revealed itself to the group.

Chu Feng effortlessly tucked the superior-grade Dao Fruit Pill into his storage ring and inquired leisurely, "Any questions from anyone?"

Xuanmu Pill Saint queried, "Fellow Daoist Qiankun, how exactly did you get the Heavenly Flame to help with alchemy?"

"It's straightforward. Simply instruct it in alchemy techniques. When it masters crafting top-grade pills and sustains itself via its work, the Heavenly Flame will aid in producing even superior pills." Chu Feng explained steadily, as though recounting the most mundane affair.

Silence stretched long in response to Chu Feng. The principle was clear to all, yet putting it into practice eluded them.

Xuanmu Pill King interjected once more, "Divine King Qiankun's prowess in alchemy is matchless. We've been truly enlightened. If I may ask, do your two disciples follow this same method?"

"Yes, they do."

Chu Feng directed Fang Mu, "Xiao Mu, demonstrate for them."

"Understood."

Fang Mu promptly called forth his Heavenly Flame. Following a brief exchange, the flame set about refining pills. In short order, a set of basic superior-grade Body Tempering Pills materialized for all to see.

Gasp...

A collective intake of breath echoed from the crowd at this sight. Superior-grade Body Tempering Pills held little value to them, but their origin in a Heavenly Flame changed everything.

Should the Heavenly Flame manage the heat on its own, the alchemist could focus entirely on the furnace's interior, refining techniques to greater perfection.

"This elder has gained insight."

With that, Xuanmu Pill King saluted Chu Feng and exited. He mulled over teaching his own Heavenly Flame alchemy, which promised to lighten his workload substantially.

Countless alchemists echoed Xuanmu Pill Saint's mindset. Consequently, the Alchemy Court's alchemists soon embraced a fervor for training their Heavenly Flames.

Saints and Great Sages frequenting the Alchemy Court often witnessed these alchemists guiding their Heavenly Flames in pill refinement. This spectacle left them utterly perplexed. If Heavenly Flames could craft pills, what role remained for alchemists?

Chu Feng's days settled back into tranquility. Jiang Yan lingered at the Holy Court rather than departing right away. After discussing insights with Chu Feng, he grasped the last Grand Dao truth and then returned to Wendao Sect to achieve the Saint Realm breakthrough.

Back at Wendao Sect, Jiang Yan skipped greetings with his senior brothers, sisters, and juniors, diving straight into secluded cultivation for his Saint Realm advancement.

A few days on, spiritual rain descended upon Wendao Sect. Jiang Yan's presence shifted from Half-Saint to full Saint Realm. After steadying his breathing, he emerged from seclusion and stepped out, soaking in the spiritual rain.

"Junior Brother, congrats on reaching Saint."

Ji Jiuwu spotted the changed Jiang Yan and offered congratulations with a grin.

Jiang Yan replied, "I'm nowhere near Senior Brother yet. Luckily, Master's guidance this time sped things up. Without it, breaking through to Saint Realm would've taken me much longer."

Ji Jiuwu beamed enthusiastically, "Enough with the humility, you rascal. Come on, let's brothers share a drink in the rain."

"Sounds great!"

Jiang Yan agreed without hesitation.

At the same time, Chu Feng heard the system alert: "Host's disciple Jiang Yan has advanced to the Saint Realm. Host is rewarded with ninety-nine points of Dao Essence."

The notification brought a slight curve to his lips. He whispered, "Wendao Sect at last boasts a second Saint Realm disciple. I wo
