Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

Chapter 1038: Chapter 663 Shenxu Peak Master

Ye Lan found it difficult to describe her current mood with words.

Initially, she only brought Shen Yi back because he had joined the Demon Slayer Bureau in Jianyang Prefecture, and while he was efficient, he also had a knack for getting into trouble.

Hence, she developed a feeling of cherishing talent, which led to their expedition to Shenxu Mountain.

The two of them didn’t interact much beyond their superior-subordinate relationship; they were barely acquaintances, not even friends, and there certainly was no intention of using each other for anything.

After all, even when Shen Yi was at He Mountain, and said "I owe you a favor" seriously, Ye Lan never took it to heart.

But this very person, in just a few short days, completely opened her eyes.

Liu Ruifeng’s composure was clearly forced, but Shen Yi’s nonchalance stemmed from his unfathomable abilities and thoughts.

At his first glimpse of the Void Origin Pill Recipe, he was able to create the Immaculate Immortal Pill, which only shows that his expertise in the Alchemy Dao had far surpassed anyone’s imagination.

But before the furnace was opened today, whether it was Shen Yi going to the Law Storage Pavilion or later asking Liu Ruifeng for advice, not only did he deceive everyone else, but he also fooled Ye Lan.

"..."

Ye Lan, recalling her anxious demeanor earlier, didn’t bear any resentment for Shen Yi’s concealment; perhaps it was this strict manner that allowed the father and son from the Sixth Peak to feel confident, without resorting to desperate measures.

When the flawless Void Treasure Pill emerged in front of the disciples from the Eight Peaks, the situation was settled, leaving no opportunity for the father and son to turn things around.

The most ridiculous thing was, this grand gathering of the Eight Peaks was orchestrated single-handedly by Master Mu Yang.

Shen Yi seemed to do nothing, yet he directed the whole affair according to his plan.

What meticulous thoughts!

"Big Senior Brother."

At this moment, Mu Yang Taoist had a gloomy face, yet he showed no intention of helping Liu Ruifeng.

Ruifeng’s rash actions not only seemed like a sore loser, staining the Array Peak’s reputation, but also displeased the Big Senior Brother the most.

As long as that young man in the ink robe was still there, why hurry to escape investigation?

With that thought, he looked at the old man sitting listlessly in the principal seat.

The old man quietly watched ahead and, after a long while, his voice softened: "Young friend, may I take a look at that Void Treasure Pill?"

As the voice fell.

The disciples gathered around the peak all held their breaths, simultaneously turning their gaze back to the front.

Although Liu Ruifeng’s actions were disgraceful, his queries were not unreasonable.

The whole affair seemed terrifying just hearing about it - taking the alchemy formula overnight and then being able to craft such a flawless Immortal Pill the next day; from where did Senior Sister Ye find such a master?

Not to mention so young.

If it were a descendant of another Daluo Immortal Venerable, why would they be willing to let such a raw yet talented individual go to Shenxu Mountain?

"..."

Finally, Shen Yi relaxed his fingers.

Liu Ruifeng’s entire face was smeared black with soot; he fell to the ground in disarray, breathing heavily and trying to roar.

But the moment he met those dark eyes, his pupils trembled and fear instinctively surged within him; he sat frozen, instinctively diverting his gaze.

For some reason, when the young man’s eyes emitted a chillness, he seemed utterly different than usual, an aura faintly radiating from him that was entirely distinct from that of the Sect Disciples.

It was intimidating to behold.

Shen Yi walked past him, firstly retrieving the remaining half portion of the ingredients from another stupefied disciple’s hands, before casually tossing the elixir bottle to the old man.

The old man caught the Jade Bottle, uncharacteristically ignoring the disrespectful gesture.

He poured the elixir pills into his palm, closed his eyes, and sniffed earnestly, sensing the full-bodied Tribulation Power imbued with the essence of Taixu Dao Fruit, then he gently exhaled.

"Good pill."

These simple words changed the expressions of the various Peak Masters watching intently.

Those who had visited Dan Peak to witness the ceremony, like Qian Feng Taoist and two others, involuntarily directed their gaze back at Shen Yi, eyes filled with astonishment.

Back then, he seemed like a reserved young man with only a handsome appearance, nothing extraordinary.

But reassessing him now, they vaguely sensed something different about him, which might not have been reservedness, but a confidence that comes with certitude.

After all, being able to speak through power really didn’t necessitate verbal prowess.

"Heh."

The last bit of hope shattered, Mu Yang Taoist stood frozen, first casting a chilling glance at Liu Ruifeng.

Years of nurturing and investing, three portions of ingredients, plus the help of formations, and this was the disappointingly inadequate result handed over by his own ’son’.

Following that, he silently shifted his gaze to Ye Lan and Shen Yi, subtly clenching his fist to conceal the murderous intent in his heart.

Today’s events were beyond his change; further words would only lead to greater humiliation.

Thinking this, Mu Yang Taoist closed his eyes.

"Disperse."

Indeed, the old man seemed to have forgotten the promise made earlier in the grand hall, slowly stood up, and without another glance at Liu Ruifeng, turned and walked towards the interior of the hall.

The flawless Void Treasure Pill should bring some consolation to the Master.
