Even for Xing Yao, refining a Lapis Lazuli Stone takes a full two hours.
So, in reality, Xing Yao is also somewhat worried internally, unsure if Lin Chen can refine the Lapis Lazuli Stone.
And if Lin Chen fails to refine the Lapis Lazuli Stone later, he will step in to save Lin Chen's face, so Lin Chen won't have to kneel and apologize to Zhou Liang, just take him as a direct disciple instead.
"Good, very good. In that case, you can start refining the Lapis Lazuli Stone. I want to see how you do it."
After getting Xing Yao's assurance, Zhou Liang is extremely excited, now only hoping Lin Chen starts refining the Lapis Lazuli Stone quickly. Once he fails, he can join Xingyao Sect as a direct disciple with a promising future, and also expose Lin Chen's true face, making him lose all face and beg for mercy.
"Alright, I'm going to refine the Lapis Lazuli Stone now. How can I go with you hugging my leg like this?"
