Chapter 688: 688

“It is you who said my design wasn’t good enough?” Master Tao pushed

through the crowd . He laid his eyes on Jiang Chen immediately as if he had

some sixth sense .

“It was only a remark based on my personal judgment . However, it was

twisted by those people . They are taking advantage of you,” Jiang Chen said .

“Huh, you said this only because you feel guilty!” Young Master Xuan said

with a cold smile .

Glancing at Jiang Chen, Master Tao said, “Cut the crap . If you cannot give me

a good explanation today, no matter whether I am being used or not, you will

have to pay the price for what you said!”

This was exactly what those onlookers were expecting .

“Sis, shall we tell people the truth? He will get us into trouble,” Ji Ruxue said

nervously .

Jiang Chen had just given her a very valuable advice, but because of her

disdain for him, she was simply struck dumb . Except that, she didn’t feel a

thing .

“Don’t rush!”

Knitting her brows tightly, Ji Yinyi didn’t think the problem could be resolved so

easily .

Jiang Chen didn’t care whether or not he would offend Master Tao . Even if Ji

Ruxue couldn’t join the Elixir Association because of him, he would have a

way to fix it .

He was confident in his ability for panaceas .

“All right . So, let’s talk about it . “

Jiang Chen walked towards the rose gold furnace, but he was looking at

Master Tao instead of the furnace while walking .

“I guess Master Tao you mainly work on breakthrough panaceas . You never

stop seeking for perfection . Am I right?” Jiang Chen said .

Alchemists’ job had been more specialized . Based on the type of panaceas, it

was split into two parts .

There were breakthrough panaceas and practice panaceas .

What the former valued was quality, while the latter valued quantity .

Master Tao lifted his chin . He looked quite complacent, but he didn’t think

Jiang Chen knew it from observing the furnace, since anyone in the Beiwang

City could have told him that .

“This is the problem . You have gone astray . When you are refining panaceas,

you always feel things are getting out of your control at the last minute, when

the panaceas are finally done . In this way, your success rate is always about

70% . “

Jiang Chen went on, stroking the rose gold furnace while speaking .

He didn’t say anything about the furnace . Everything he said was about

Master Tao .

Master Tao was shocked by what he had said . He wasn’t surprised that Jiang

Chen knew he mainly worked on breakthrough panaceas, but what the latter

had just brought up was his weakness . It was his secret .

Striding up to Jiang Chen, he asked in a loud voice, “How did you know? Who

sent you here?”

“Even if I tell you I know everything from the furnace, you won’t believe me .

That being said, I can tell you what your problem is and how to resolve it .

What do you think?” Jiang Chen said, smiling .

Master Tao was pleasantly surprised . He changed his attitude right away . He

said to Jiang Chen, “Really?”

“It can’t be true!”

Young Master Xuan shouted .

Even the two sisters of the Jis found it difficult to believe him . They were sure

it was Jiang Chen’s first time here .

Is he really a panacea master, as he said? Ji Yinyi thought involuntarily .

“Actually, your problem isn’t complicated . “

Jiang Chen reached into the furnace and stroked over its inner side . He said,

“Listen . “

Master Tao didn’t show any doubts . He did what Jiang Chen had told him right

away . He came up to Jiang Chen and let the latter whisper into his ear .

Then people saw Jiang Chen whispering, but they couldn’t hear what he was

saying .

“I see! I got it!”

They saw Master Tao as thrilled as a naïve child, as if a problem that had

haunted him for years had finally been resolved .

“Now, you tell me, I didn’t buy it because I couldn’t afford it or because I didn’t

like it?” Jiang Chen scorned, looking at Young Master Xuan .

Young Master Xuan didn’t have to answer him at all, since Master Tao’s

reaction was already like a slap on his face .

“Master, it is my bad . ” Master Tao even asked for Jiang Chen’s forgiveness .

He thought this was why the shop manager had told him about the incident .

“Not necessarily . Why don’t you ask him what this is about?” Jiang Chen said .

Not until Master Tao had calmed down a little bit, did he notice Young Master

Xuan’s presence . It suddenly dawned on him that the whole thing couldn’t be

that simple .

Pointing at the shop manager, he said, “Tell me . What is this about?”

“Master, just as I said . . . ” the manager tried to argue .

“Really? I have a Truth Elixir here . Would you like to take it and answer my

question again?” Master Tao interrupted him .

“No, master, no!”

The manager was pretty scared . People who took the Truth Elixir would

become extremely slow, almost as slow as an idiot .

“It’s Young Master Xuan . He told me to make things difficult for this young

master . . . no, this master . “

The manager hurried to change a way to mention Jiang Chen . Even Master

Tao had called Jiang Chen master . He certainly should do the same .

“He told me to set a trap for them so that he could come to their rescue . ” The

manager finally finished speaking .

Young Master Xuan’s scheme was disclosed . However, before he could flare

up, he found Ji Yinyi was staring at him coldly .

“Wu Xuan, I will tell your grandpa what you did . You are too indiscreet . The

Elixir Association will be destroyed by you sooner or later,” Master Tao said to

him sternly .

Young Master Xuan gnashed his teeth . Too ashamed to stay there, he turned

around to leave .

From this incident, people found in spite of his arrogance, Master Tao wasn’t a

narrow-minded person at all . He actually didn’t mind acknowledging his fault .

This had a huge influence on Ji Ruxue . She recalled what Jiang Chen had

said to her . She had felt disdain for him, but not until she had seen Master

Tao’s reaction with her own eyes, did she tumble to what Jiang Chen had

really meant .

“My young friend, you seem to have a keen eye . What about me? Could you

tell what my class is as an alchemist?”

At this moment, Master Tao’s chess friend came forward .

“Elder brother, this is too difficult for him,” Master Tao said helplessly .

“Doesn’t matter . Anyway, he won’t be punished even if his answer is wrong . “

Then the man came up to Jiang Chen . He said to the latter, “But if your

answer is correct, I can satisfy a request of yours . “

“I don’t even know who you are . How would I know whether you can satisfy

my request or not?”

“If I tell you who I am, you will know my class from my identity, won’t you?” the

man said .

He sounded gentle and harmless, but in fact, he was questioning Jiang Chen .

He was implying Jiang Chen had managed to point out Master Tao’s flaw

because he had got someone else’s instruction .

“Well, let’s do it . Mister, could you let me have a look at your hand?” Jiang

Chen said .

“Of course . “

The man extended his right hand . People saw his hand was not only fair-

skinned, but also soft and flawless . It was a perfect hand .

Jiang Chen put his palm over that man’s palm .

“Oh?”

The man was surprised by him . If Jiang Chen was faking it, he had to admit

Jiang Chen was faking it in a perfect manner .

Before he could perceive what Jiang Chen was trying to find in his body, the

latter had moved his hand away .

Jiang Chen looked at him with respect, full of surprises .

“You don’t have any class as an alchemist,” Jiang Chen said .

“Oh? You mean I’m not an alchemist?”

The man asked with interest . He felt a little disappointed . It seemed he had

been overthinking .

“You are a heaven alchemist . “

However, the man was shocked when Jiang Chen had revealed the fact . Even

Master Tao was too shocked to stand still . He kept stepping back .
