Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons
Chapter 1024 - 658 Oh Elixir! Tribulation Pill!

Chapter 1024: Chapter 658 Oh Elixir! Tribulation Pill!

Mu Yang Taoist stood motionless, and after a moment, his meticulously groomed long beard began to tremble rapidly.

He felt a surge of anger crashing into his chest, his mouth dry and tongue parched as he growled, "Such defiance and insolence, lacking respect for elders! Once she left Shenxu Mountain, she no longer had any regard for us, her senior uncles and grand-uncles!"

"Where is the semblance of a junior?" He angrily swept his sleeve and looked towards the others.

However, the group of Peak Masters did not take up the conversation, their complexions muddled as if still immersed in the questions Ye Lan had posed earlier.

Indeed, after that incident occurred, they had only thought of covering it up from prying eyes; they neglected the feelings of the only remaining junior from Dan Peak and failed to notice what Mu Yang was taking advantage of to do.

Once the matter was covered up, Dan Peak had resumed its operations. Fearful of unnecessary trouble, apart from advising Ye Lan to prioritize the bigger picture a couple of times, the group of Peak Masters tacitly acknowledged the situation.

When she had left the mountain back then, everyone only thought that she was unable to accept the fact that her master and fellow disciples had all perished, needing time away to clear her mind. No one anticipated that this junior thoroughly understood everything and remembered all these events in her heart.

"Enough, you’ve taken advantage, yet you don’t allow others to complain even a little!"

Qian Feng Taoist slowly stood up, shooting Mu Yang a glance. These matters had nothing to do with the other Six Peaks, yet they had to endure the disdainful looks from the junior, naturally feeling some displeasure.

"Taken advantage?" Mu Yang, as if his tail had been stepped on, had a sudden change in expression, angrily retorting, "I have invested so much effort and attention in overseeing two peaks, and even if I take a little more, it’s all used for Dan Peak, without any embezzlement. It is only because Ruifeng has made progress in recent years that he has relieved me of many concerns. Brother Qian Feng, your accusation seems quite unreasonable!"

"Used for Dan Peak? More like used for your son..." Qian Feng Taoist sneered.

With such an abundance of resources, had the doors been widely opened to recruit talents, today’s Dan Peak might not have regained its former glory, but it wouldn’t have come to a point where only one person could concoct the Tribulation Pill.

The resources of an entire peak dedicated to cultivating one individual.

Wasn’t this merely due to the fear that someone might contest Liu Ruifeng’s future position as Peak Master? There’s no need to dress it up as some noble cause.

"Shut up!" The half-dead old man slammed the table, instantly silencing the seven below, clearly vexed by the previous incident where Ye Lan ignored him.

He leaned back in his chair, sparks of thunder flickering in his eyes, "I only have two things to say. First, the past is the past, and no one is to mention it again. Anyone who does will not be spared from punishment in place of the master."

"Second."

The half-dead old man closed his eyes: "The foundation of Shenxu Mountain lies with the master, and all our cultivation comes from the master. These over three hundred peaks must prioritize the master over all else. Nothing else matters."

"As long as Dan Peak regularly contributes the Tribulation Pill, anyone can be the Peak Master, even without regard to their cultivation boundary."

Upon hearing this, the faces of the other Peak Masters changed slightly, including Qian Feng Taoist, whose silence was brief before he reseated himself.

With the master wandering in Taixu, the Big Brother acts almost as a stand-in master on ordinary days.

The words of the other seemed impartial, but in reality, they already made their stance clear.

Ignoring cultivation boundary... Wasn’t that tailored for Liu Ruifeng? After consuming so many Heaven and Earth Treasures, he still hasn’t harvested the Dao Fruit, stuck at the Sixth Grade for so many years.

"The Senior Uncle is right."

Just then, a youth entered the hall respectfully—it was Liu Ruifeng, who had been waiting outside for a long time.

There wasn’t a trace of excitement on his face; instead, he carried a profound look of concern.

He walked to the center of the hall, knelt with meticulous propriety, then cupped his hands and said, "Only with the master’s eternal vitality can Shenxu Mountain exist. Ruifeng is well aware of this principle and thus has diligently labored for many years, never daring to slacken."

"Now I have finally made some progress, barely able to concoct the Seven Tribulation Treasure Pill, hoping one day to produce the Ten Tribulations Perfection Elixir, contributing a modest force to the master’s grand Dao."

"As for the position of Peak Master, compared to the master, what does it amount to? As long as the old man is there, and Shenxu Mountain continues to grow stronger, not to mention Eight Peaks, even if there were twenty or thirty, could we not afford to support them?"

Having said this, Liu Ruifeng’s face was filled with longing.

Listening to these sincere and earnest words, the expressions of the onlookers varied. Whether they believed it or not, this was the attitude a Third Generation Disciple should have towards their elders.

The half-dead old man watched the young man below in silence.

At such a young age, so slick and smooth, thinking he could delve into the thoughts of his elders. No wonder his cultivation has not progressed with such impure thoughts.

However, acknowledging the importance of the ancestral master is enough.

Born in Shenxu, grown in Shenxu, receiving all Dao from Shenxu—if that’s the case, if the master needs it, even the life of a disciple, what is there that cannot be taken?

By comparison, how does one who still harbors resentment after so many years deserve to be a Peak Master?

"It’s a serious offense to intrude on the Peak Masters’ council. Considering it’s your first offense and that you hold the master in your heart, I’ll overlook it this time."

"Go on, focus on practicing the Alchemy Dao, and don’t let other things disturb your mind. We old folks aren’t dead yet."

The old man waved his hand, dismissing Liu Ruifeng from the hall.

Though he said dismissed, the Spiritual Wind he conjured was extremely gentle, filling Mu Yang Taoist with joy as he realized that with the support of the Big Brother, no other undiscerning brother or sister would dare criticize him.

...

On the path up to Dan Peak.

Ye Lan walked slowly, her eyes looking towards Qing Mountain, but her mind was clearly not on her path.
