Seeing Tan Yun volunteer himself, Daniu and the other herb garden disciples couldn't help but speak out, "What's going on? Senior Brother Tan has never refined an elixir before; could he be stronger than Senior Brother Song? Senior Brother Song is a low-level grand alchemist!"
"Yeah, Daniu, is Senior Brother Tan going crazy?"
The danmai disciples of Huangfu Sacred Sect looked confused:
“Everyone, Senior Brother Tan is well-known in the danmai for not understanding alchemical arts. Is it too reckless for him to challenge two geniuses now?”
“Exactly! If Senior Brother Tan could refine elixirs, how could he still be a disposable disciple?”
“I can’t understand… really can’t understand…”
As the voices of the danmai disciples echoed in his ears, Dantai Xuanzhong frowned and looked at Shen Subing, “What’s going on? Does Tan Yun understand alchemical arts?”
“Sovereign, I don’t know! He joined the sect for more than two years and has never refined an elixir,” Shen Subing replied, her brows furrowing as she gazed at Tan Yun. Her voice, filled with doubt, questioned:
“Tan Yun, just yesterday evening, you told the sovereign that you are not interested in refining elixirs, and since entering the Inner Sect, you have never been involved with alchemical arts.”
“A person who doesn’t understand alchemical arts can indeed identify spiritual herbs, but they cannot distinguish elixirs by taste. Are you implying that you can refine elixirs and understand alchemical arts?”
At this moment, everyone’s gaze was fixed on Tan Yun, waiting for his response.
Tan Yun frowned slightly, bowed, and said, “In response to the chief, I did indeed say yesterday that I am not interested in alchemical arts, but I never said that I do not understand alchemical arts. I can indeed refine elixirs.”
“What? You can refine elixirs!” Shen Subing suddenly stood up, her face filled with disbelief.
“Huh… What’s going on? Can Senior Brother Tan really refine elixirs?” Daniu's eyes widened in shock, “How is that possible!”
“Exactly…” The herb garden disciples were equally confused.
Luo Fan, Song Hong, and the other fifty danmai disciples, along with Nangong Ruxue, looked at Tan Yun in shock.
Tan Yun did not bow to Shen Subing again and firmly stated, “In response to the chief, I have a general understanding of alchemical arts.”
“To what extent is your alchemical arts proficiency?” Shen Subing asked, “Are you a mid-level alchemist or a high-level one?”
“I’m not quite sure myself,” Tan Yun replied, speaking confidently, “However, dealing with the geniuses of the Eternal Immortal Sect and the divine soul celestial palace should be more than enough.”
“Good! I, the chief, look forward to your performance. Remember, do not let the sovereign down!” Shen Subing said with delight.
At this moment, she suddenly recalled her master’s earlier words that during the visit to Huangfu Sacred Sect, her disciples would ultimately take the crown in the alchemical arts grand competition. At this moment, she almost concluded that the person her master referred to must undoubtedly be Tan Yun!
“I obey!” After saying this, Tan Yun walked to the center of the high platform.
Dantai Xuanzhong was filled with anticipation for Tan Yun!
“I knew he was the strongest.” Zhong Wu Shi Yao felt her heart racing.
Gongsun Ruoxi looked at the back of Tan Yun, her beautiful eyes revealing extreme shock. She knew that Tan Yun’s skills in weapon crafting surpassed her own, but she never expected that he also understood alchemical refinement!
Moreover, from Tan Yun’s dismissive words toward Du Ling and Yin Shui Ling, she concluded that Tan Yun’s proficiency in alchemical arts likely surpassed that of a saint level alchemist, reaching the standards of a low-level or even mid-level grand alchemist.
Otherwise, Tan Yun would not have replaced low-level grand alchemist Song Hong, right?
“Brother Tan, you really are hiding your talents!” Song Hong said, looking at Tan Yun who had come beside him, smiling sincerely, “Although the competition hasn’t started yet, I believe you can definitely do it!”
