600. Victory Celebration Banquet
600. Victory Celebration Banquet
Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback. The name of the Medicine Venerable was naturally known to all, but how Xiao Yan compared to the Medicine Venerable was indeed a very interesting topic.
"Then the Medicine Venerable is definitely stronger." Dan Chen also chimed in at the right time. Although she was usually a quiet person, she was similar to Wei Jiangyuan in that she was very interested in anything related to alchemy.
"The Medicine Venerable's alchemy skills are even stronger than those of the three giants of the Pill Tower. Now that so many years have passed, it is impossible for him to have stopped progressing. He has probably already reached the boundary of a ninth-grade alchemist."
Everyone knows that Xiao Yan's current limit is the sixth-colored pill lightning of an eighth-grade pill, which is already an astonishing talent. However, as for the distance to the ninth grade, it is still a long way off. Therefore, the answer to the question of who is stronger between Xiao Yan and Yao Chen is quite obvious.
Wei Jiangyuan also keenly sensed that Yao Qingyu was somewhat reluctant to join the conversation: although her relationship with Xuan Yi had improved after the Pill Gathering, her feelings towards her father, Venerable Yao, whom she had never met, were undoubtedly complex. Her reluctance to bring it up now was understandable.
So Wei Jiangyuan wanted to change the subject: "It's definitely incomparable now, after all, none of us can say that we can beat our teacher now."
When Wei Jiangyuan mentioned this, everyone present subconsciously thought of their teacher.
Mu Qingluan's teacher was Dou Zun Feng Zun Zhe; Xiao Yan's teacher was Yao Zun Zhe, a peak eighth-grade alchemist; Cao Ying's teacher was Xuan Kong Zi, a peak eighth-grade alchemist; Dan Chen's teacher was Yuan Chen, a near-ninth-grade alchemist from the Pill Tower; Yao Qingyu's teacher was one of the strongest elders of the Flower Sect; Wei Jiangyuan's teacher was Shen Nong Laoren, a ninth-grade alchemist; Qing Lin's teacher was Ming Mei, a peak nine-star Dou Sheng; and Lei Jingxiao's teacher without the title of teacher was Jiang Yunyan, a five-star Dou Sheng.
Although not everyone said it outright, after some mental calculation, they realized that none of them had surpassed their teacher.
However, everyone present is a genius, with exceptional talent. Even Mu Qingluan, who is the weakest, is already a Dou Zong expert.
The current gap between them and their teachers is mainly due to their age. It's only a matter of time before they mature. As long as they stand the test of time, their names will surely be remembered on the mainland in the future!
After comparing her teacher to others, Cao Ying continued with another question: "I actually have another question. Given their current strength, is Xiao Yan the strongest person in the history of the Pill Gathering?"
At this point, everyone fell into deep thought. The reason was simple: Wei Jiangyuan had wanted to refute the question the moment it came up, but after thinking about it carefully, he was suddenly shocked.
Xiao Yan could never be a match for someone like Medicine Venerable or Shennong Elder, who had won the Pill Gathering before. But what if we only compare their performance in the Pill Gathering?
Can Xiao Yan win?
It's important to know that both the Medicine Venerable and the Shennong Elder participated in the Pill Gathering in their youth. Compared to them, the equally young Xiao Yan seems to have a real advantage! At least in terms of flames and medicine cauldrons, Xiao Yan definitely has the upper hand.
Wei Jiangyuan suddenly said with some curiosity, "I really want to ask my old man about this when I get back."
The others were starting to realize that everyone gathered here, in terms of both strength and talent, was already incredibly powerful. However, compared to Xiao Yan, they still seemed somewhat lacking. Xiao Yan was truly a genius among geniuses!
As the conversation continued, Wei Jiangyuan began to complain: "Everyone thinks Lao Xiao is amazing, and some even came all the way here today to celebrate for him, but where is he?"
Upon hearing this, Fei Tian immediately replied, "Young Master Lei, my young master is currently communicating with his young mistress. I'll go and urge them now."
"No need." Xiao Yan's voice appeared as if it were timed perfectly. He and Little Fairy Doctor finally appeared together, and the sight of the two walking side by side caused a slight change in the expressions of the many people present.
There was envy, admiration, curiosity, and sadness...
"So much food still can't shut you up?" Xiao Yan laughed, looking at Wei Jiangyuan's expression.
In fact, given his personality, he didn't need this rather extravagant celebration banquet at all. However, both Wei Jiangyuan and Lei Jingxiao were very enthusiastic about it, and Xiao Yixian also agreed that Xiao Yan should take this opportunity to relax and interact with everyone present. That's why she asked Fei Tian to take the time to prepare such a celebration banquet.
Xiao Yan also symbolically invited the three giants of the Pill Tower, but none of them came in the end. Those present at the moment were all from the younger generation.
Wei Jiangyuan looked at Xiao Yan and the other person with a somewhat malicious smile and asked, "Little Xiao Yan's mother, how old is the baby?"
Seeing so many people present, Little Fairy Doctor no longer showed the shyness she had when she was with Xiao Yan. Instead, she replied with great poise, elegance, and politeness, "Almost six months."
"Hehe, that's really great. I wonder when Qingyu and I will be together..."
"Wei Jiangyuan!" Yao Qingyu, seizing the opportunity, forcefully and ruthlessly cut off Wei Jiangyuan's words: "If you don't want to eat, then get out!"
Wei Jiangyuan immediately waved his hand, making a gesture of surrender, and said, "Eat, eat, eat! We have to eat! I was the one who suggested it, it would be a huge loss if we didn't."
"I just wanted to give Lao Xiao some advice, after all, I know quite a bit about pregnancy care."
Lei Jingxiao raised an eyebrow, somewhat incredulously asking, "Oh, I didn't know you, surnamed Wei, had this skill?"
"Of course!" Wei Jiangyuan also raised his head slightly. "Just look at how vast my knowledge is! How can someone like you, who can only refine a mere fourth-grade pill, compare!"
"If it weren't for your interference, I would have succeeded long ago!"
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, Cao Ying sincerely said to Xiao Yan, "Young Master Xiao Yan, there is a Myriad Pill Pavilion in the Pill Tower, which has a rich variety of pills. If you need pills for pregnancy, you can go and get them. With your status as the champion who saved the Pill Tower this time, you will not be refused anything you want."
Xiao Yan was naturally aware of the existence of the Myriad Pill Pavilion. As the champion of the Pill Gathering, besides being able to collect the Three Thousand Burning Flames, he would indeed receive other rewards from the Pill Tower. Xiao Yan was indeed somewhat troubled by Little Fairy Doctor's pregnancy, and said he would go and check on her when the time came.
"Sister Xian'er is the most important person here now. Don't worry about taking care of her, Big Brother!" Lei Jingxiao said cheerfully.
"When the baby is born, I can take whatever I want from my storage ring!"
Lei Jingxiao's words were simple, but only those who truly understood them knew the weight of his words!
Then, the knocking started again...
