Chapter 178 - 177: Alchemy Master

Chapter 178: Chapter 177: Alchemy Master

"Elder Hua Feng? Master Dan Yuan? Master Liao Yue?"

As Wu Jingshan busied himself in the Alchemy Hall, he felt puzzled upon hearing the summons.

"What are they doing at the Emperor Immortal Sect?"

Though Wu Jingshan was perplexed, he still followed the orders and met up with Jiang Jing and the others.

"Junior Sister Jiang, are they here to see me?" Wu Jingshan went straight to the point as soon as he saw Jiang Jing.

Jiang Jing gave a slight nod and said, "It seems that only you could bring such masters here for a visit."

"Well, let’s go and see then." Wu Jingshan said.

The group moved forward together until they reached the Mountain Gate.

In front of the Emperor Immortal Sect’s Mountain Gate stood three people.

Two of them were elderly, and one was middle-aged.

They all had one thing in common, they were wearing alchemist robes, exuding an aura of superiority with their every move, and their embroidered chest insignia revealed their status.

Two Seven-Cauldron Alchemists, one Six-Cauldron Alchemist.

These three individuals were the old man Hua Feng, Master Dan Yuan, and Master Liao Yue.

Both Elder Hua Feng and Master Liao Yue had previously appeared at the birthday celebration of Jiang Tiannan of the Huainan Mountain Jiang Family. However, it was the first time for Master Dan Yuan to make an appearance.

However, at that birthday celebration, Master Dan Yuan’s prominent disciple Yu Hua had also appeared and participated in the bidding for Ye Xuan’s Top Grade Nine Transformation Spirit Pill, but ultimately, it was Huang Wenzhong from Snow Mountain who won the bid for that pill.

Master Dan Yuan, a short and chubby old man, had an amiable look about him.

At the moment, Master Dan Yuan was chatting with Elder Hua Feng and Master Liao Yue.

"Do you think that master will agree to meet with us this time?" Even this renowned alchemist could not help but feel somewhat nervous and uncertain as he asked.

Elder Hua Feng slightly shook his head and replied, "To tell the truth, I’m not entirely sure either, but now that my fellow disciple is an Elder at the Emperor Immortal Sect, he should be able to help us get an introduction."

"It shouldn’t be a big problem," Liao Yue said thoughtfully. "Back on the Spirit Boat, Little Brother Ye told me that if we need the Top Grade Nine Transformation Spirit Pill, we could come directly to the Emperor Immortal Sect to find him."

"That high-level master is very likely to be Little Friend Ye’s teacher," Elder Hua Feng mused. "After all, the Emperor Immortal Sect is a Great Emperor Immortal Sect, and even with its decline, there are still such figures within. It’s a pity that they’ve remained hidden, making us miss the opportunity to visit them earlier."

"Even if we cannot meet with that master this time, it is important to establish a good relationship with the Emperor Immortal Sect," Liao Yue thought to himself.

A month ago, on the Spirit Boat, he had witnessed the terrifying strength behind Ye Xuan and became even more convinced that someone at the Emperor Immortal Sect truly had the ability to refine the Top Grade Nine Transformation Spirit Pill.

After that, he immediately returned to the Dan Yun Sect and convened the entire sect, even urging the Sect Master to discuss the matter after coming out of seclusion, and they unanimously decided that they must establish a good relationship with the Emperor Immortal Sect.

During that time, he devoted himself to refining elixirs, firstly as a gift for meeting with the Emperor Immortal Sect and secondly in the hopes of getting advice from that mysterious master alchemist.

With that in mind, Liao Yue came to the Emperor Immortal Sect.

Unexpectedly, on his way, he happened to meet Elder Hua Feng and Master Dan Yuan.

He had no idea where they had gotten their information from, but they too had come to visit the mysterious master at the Emperor Immortal Sect, which he hadn’t anticipated.

However, Liao Yue did not dare to provoke the two, so the three of them traveled together to the Emperor Immortal Sect.

"Please wait for a moment, esteemed masters. I have already sent someone to notify my lady. I believe they will arrive shortly."

Lu Chengde said with a smile and a bow.

"It’s no bother, no bother at all." The three of them waved their hands dismissively, very politely.

This left Lu Chengde somewhat puzzled.

These three were alchemist masters and should, by nature, be rather proud individuals, yet they were so courteous toward him.

Of course, he didn’t think it was due to any particular abilities of his own, so there must be some other reason.

For some reason, Lu Chengde’s first thought was of his own master, Ye Xuan.

"Could it be that these three masters have come to seek out my master?"

"But with my master’s personality, even if they are three alchemist masters, he wouldn’t pay them much mind. They might actually be here to find Elder Wu," he pondered.

After reflecting briefly, Lu Chengde decided not to think further on it.

"Elder Lu, those three bodies are...?" At that moment, Liao Yue looked towards the three corpses hanging in front of the Emperor Immortal Sect’s Mountain Gate and couldn’t help but ask.

"Oh, those are the Supreme Elders of the three major cultivation sacred lands." Lu Chengde didn’t hide anything and explained with a smile.

"What!?"

At this disclosure, Liao Yue, Elder Hua Feng, and Master Dan Yuan were all shocked.

The three major cultivation sacred lands?

They were the overlords of the Qing Mountain Range, dominating tens of thousands of miles around.

Those three bodies were actually the Supreme Elders of the three major cultivation sacred lands?

"What happened?" Liao Yue couldn’t help but ask.

Lu Chengde gave a slight smile and said, "Actually, it’s nothing much. Yesterday, our sect had an exchange meeting with Lie Tian Academy, and the people from the three major cultivation sacred lands joined forces with Lie Tian Heavenly Country, intending to make a move against our Emperor Immortal Sect. They were suppressed by our sect’s ancestor."

"These three are the leaders of the three major cultivation sacred lands from last night: Xuanmo Cave’s Thousand Blood Old Demon, Smoke Mist Mountain’s True Person Shu Shui, and Wu Longzhou from the Lingxu Sacred Land."

"This..."

Upon hearing this, the three of them exchanged glances, seeing the shock in each other’s eyes.

"Elder Hua Feng."

Just as the three were astonished, a group of people came out from within the Emperor Immortal Sect.

Leading the way was Jiang Jing, accompanied by Wu Jingshan, Qiu Wenhan, and others.

"Greetings to the three masters," said Jiang Jing to the three elders, bowing with a smile.

"We greet all fellow Daoists," the three replied, coming back to their senses, each of them giving a salute.

"Brother Wu, it’s been many years since we’ve seen each other. How is your health?" Elder Hua Feng then turned to Wu Jingshan beside Jiang Jing, asking with a cheerful laugh.

"Elder Hua Feng jokes. Aren’t you still tough and hale?" Wu Jingshan laughed in response.

"You rascal, asking for a beating again," laughed Elder Hua Feng.

The two had known each other for years, having studied together at the East Desolation Medicine Pavilion. Although their words seemed like mutual teasing, it was actually the playful banter between brothers.

"Perhaps the three masters would like to enter the sect for a reunion," Jiang Jing suggested, not neglecting Dan Yuan Master and Liao Yue, taking the initiative to speak.

"Then we’ll take you up on your gracious offer," said Dan Yuan Master and Liao Yue, bowing their hands.

"Please, masters," Jiang Jing gestured for them to proceed.

"Please." The three walked together along the mountain gate entrance and into the Emperor Immortal Sect.

As they walked beside them, Jiang Jing asked in a quiet voice, "May I ask what brings the three masters to visit this time?"

"We’ve come to see an alchemist of your sect," the three said in unison.

"An alchemist? Do you mean Brother Wu?" Jiang Jing asked, puzzled.

Wu Jingshan also looked at Elder Hua Feng in confusion and said, "Brother, you couldn’t possibly have come just to visit me, could you?"

After leaving the East Desolation Medicine Pavilion, he and Elder Hua Feng had each gone their separate ways. Despite their enduring friendship, their exchanges had been few and far between.

The fact that Elder Hua Feng had paid a visit was both a surprise and unexpected to Wu Jingshan, but he was well aware that his brother was a very busy person and would not have come solely for him.

"Besides Master Wu, your sect has another master, right?" Liao Yue hinted, "This matter should be quite clear to Brother Ye Xuan."

"To be frank, our visit this time is to see the master capable of refining the Top Grade Nine Transformation Spirit Pill," Dan Yuan Master said amiably.

"Ah?!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jing and the others were stunned, then their expressions turned strange.

Feelings...

They were actually here for Ye Xuan?!

The person who could refine the Top Grade Nine Transformation Spirit Pill was none other than Ye Xuan.

"Our sect has a master who can refine the Top Grade Nine Transformation Spirit Pill?!" Exclaimed Yu Wenlei and Nie Shan, both newly joined the sect for just a month, obviously shocked.

They were completely unaware that there existed such a master within the Emperor Immortal Sect.

"Let’s go then; Ye Xuan is waiting for us in the Emperor Great Hall," Jiang Jing couldn’t help but smile and said.

"Ye Xuan?" Yu Wenlei and Nie Shan were even more bewildered, "Does he know the alchemist capable of refining the Top Grade Nine Transformation Spirit Pill?!"

"And that master is also in the Emperor Immortal Sect?"

"When did this happen?!"

Tumultuous waves surged in their hearts.

Meanwhile, at that very moment, Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei were waiting in the Emperor Great Hall.

"If nothing unexpected happens, those fellows should be here to promise benefits to the Emperor Immortal Sect,"

Ye Xuan stretched leisurely and spoke in an unhurried tone.

"The fewer people who know you can refine the Top Grade Nine Transformation Spirit Pill, the better," Zhou Youwei furrowed her brow and said softly.

Ye Xuan shook his head slightly and said, "You don’t understand; this is a deterrence."

"Those fellows, knowing that the Emperor Immortal Sect has an alchemist master, will naturally try their best to please us."

"With the trip to the Golden Pond half a month away, let’s use this opportunity to further strengthen the sect’s power through these people."
