Li Cheng arranged a formation that enveloped the Eighteenth Peak, preventing the scent of alchemy from leaking out, before he began the process.
Seventh Elder stared intently at Li Chengâs movements without blinking, not even daring to breathe heavily as if afraid that his breath would disturb Li Cheng.
âItâs the junior uncle whoâs doing the alchemy, why are you so nervous?â Mu Xingzhi said with some amusement as he watched the Seventh Elderâs behavior.
Without turning his head, Seventh Elder responded, âSect Master, donât talk, no, donât even breathe. If you disturb the junior uncle, Iâll never let you live it down!â
The corner of Mu Xingzhiâs mouth twitched. How could it be so easy to disturb him?
This fellow had grown bold; Mu Xingzhi had kindly asked him to observe and yet, he spoke to him with such a tone.
But Mu Xingzhi wouldnât mind. Relationships among the higher-ups in the sect were always very good, and it was normal to joke with one another.
Four hours passed, the Purple Void Jade Emperorâs Tripod began to levitate, and the robust immortal power fluctuation spread out but was blocked by the formation without a trace leaking out.
However, color clouds started forming in the sky!
âHe did it! The junior uncle truly is deserving of his reputation!â Seventh Elderâs tense expression turned into excitement.
The heavenly phenomenon naturally attracted everyoneâs attention. At this moment, most of the powerhouses in the Southern Domain were gathered at the Heavenly Mechanism Sect. Thus, the news of the birth of the Immortal Pill could no longer be hidden!
Li Cheng looked up at the sky, where powerful energy was pouring down from the colorful clouds, baptizing the Immortal Pills in the Purple Void Jade Emperorâs Tripod.
âThe junior uncleâs effort in setting up the formation was in vain, with such commotion, the news will again become known to all!â Seventh Elder said, finally managing to steady his excited heart.
Mu Xingzhi glanced at Seventh Elder, âWho says it was in vain? If the junior uncle set up the formation, he surely meant to avoid the fluctuation during the alchemy process from attracting scores of powerhouses to watch.â
Whoosh!
One by one, Immortal Pills flew out from the Purple Void Jade Emperorâs Tripod, and with Li Chengâs gesture to grasp from afar, all the Immortal Pills flew into his hand.
Twelve pills, one of King Grade and eleven of top-quality!
Li Cheng looked at them briefly and used a jade bottle to store the Immortal Pills, tossing it to Chu Jianghan.
Chu Jianghan caught it but then offered it to Mu Xingzhi, saying with a smile, âMaster Li, could I have a word with you?â
Oh?
Li Cheng was somewhat surprised. Was the request for him to refine Immortal Pills just a front?
Or, perhaps, a test?
With curiosity, Li Cheng quickly transported Mu Xingzhi and Seventh Elder to the mountainside, leaving just him and Chu Jianghan at the mountainâs peak.
Chu Jianghan bowed respectfully, âPlease forgive my presumption, Master Li!â
âYou asked me to make Immortal Pills at someoneâs request to test me?â Li Cheng asked calmly, not allowing Chu Jianghan to guess what he was thinking.
Chu Jianghan stood up and casually took out a token, offering it with both hands, âMaster Li, this is something left by Grand Venerable Bai Jie. He once said that whoever in the Kunlun Southern Region could refine Immortal Pills should be given this token!â
âAfter the Grand Venerable disappeared, our Hundred Calamities Commerce Union never stopped looking for someone capable of making Immortal Pills. For over ten thousand years, Master Li, you are the first!â
Li Cheng took the token, seeing that one side was engraved with a starry sky and the other with the character âJieâ.
Inspecting with his Immortal Sense, he discovered that the tokenâs interior was filled with complex patterns, remarkably similar to the patterns of the Ascend to Immortal Platform and the Underworld Dungeon!
Besides that, he found nothing unusual.
Even when he stimulated the token with Immortal Yuan, there was no response.
And secretly dripping blood onto it also yielded no reaction. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWhat is the use of this token?â Li Cheng asked.
Chu Jianghan shook his head, âI am not clear about that, the Grand Venerable only told my father to hand over the Grand Honorary Order to the person who could refine Immortal Pills. There were no other instructions.â
Li Cheng did not rush to study it and asked, âYour father was a disciple of Grand Venerable Bai Jie?â
Chu Jianghan shook his head, âThe Grand Venerable never took a disciple, my father was only a nominal disciple, not an official one.â
âMaster Li wishes to know about the Grand Venerableâs deeds? Whatever my father knew, Chu has also fully learned.â
Li Cheng smiled, thatâs the best scenario!
âRumors have it that the Grand Venerable has descendants alive, may I ask who they are?â Li Cheng didnât bring up anything related to the Ten Thousand Evils Cave, and asked directly.
Chu Jianghan looked at Li Cheng somewhat surprised, âSuch a secretive matter, I didnât expect Master Li to be aware. Indeed, before the Grand Venerable left, he left behind descendants, but my father also doesnât know the whereabouts of the Grand Venerableâs descendants.â
The Grand Venerable Bai Jieâs acknowledged disciples donât know?
Then how did the Ten Thousand Evils Cave find out?
From those who once followed Grand Venerable Bai Jie? Or could it be that the Evil Master of the Ten Thousand Evils Cave once followed the Grand Venerable?
Definitely so!
It must be that the Grand Venerable, out of old timesâ sake, didnât slay him but instead sealed him in the Underworld Dungeon.
And the reason why the Evil Master is certain that the Grand Venerableâs child is still alive must be because of this.
Seeing Li Cheng falling into contemplation, Chu Jianghan hesitantly said, âSince the Grand Venerable left the Grand Honorary Order and instructed my father to pass it on to one who can refine Immortal Pills, then, the person who can refine Immortal Pills surely has a connection to the Grand Venerable!â
The implication was clear, Master Li, you are connected to Grand Venerable Bai Jie!
To put it more bluntly, the Grand Venerableâs child might be you!
However, Li Cheng shook his head, âCould it be that youâve found the wrong person? Perhaps there are others in the Southern Domain who can also refine Immortal Pills.â
Definitely the wrong person, for this Grand Honorary Order had no reaction whatsoever to him, so Li Cheng was certain that he wasnât the one being sought!
It was merely a coincidence that he could refine Immortal Pills.
If the Grand Venerable wasnât mistaken, then there must be another person in the Kunlun Southern Region who can also refine Immortal Pills!
Chu Jianghan was startled, could that be true?
After searching for more than ten thousand years, only Li Cheng was found!
Or is there a deeper meaning to the Grand Venerableâs actions? Itâs not to say that whoever can refine Immortal Pills is his descendant.
After pondering for a moment, Chu Jianghan said, âIt absolutely canât be wrong. Perhaps Master Li, if you carefully study the Grand Honorary Order, you can figure it out.â
Li Cheng considered, should he try to sense the Grand Honorary Order using the state of Enlightenment?
But itâs not necessary, there isnât anything else inside the Grand Honorary Order.
âThen Iâll hold on to it for now, and if Chairman Chu discovers youâve found the wrong person, feel free to come and find me,â Li Cheng said.
Chu Jianghan smiled, âThere wonât be a mistake, Master Li should still study it carefully when you have time, the Grand Venerable is unfathomable, and the object he left behind will surely not easily reveal its secrets.â
Li Cheng put the Grand Honorary Order into his Storage Ring, nodded slightly, and then said, âChairman Chu, do you know where Grand Venerable Bai Jie went over ten thousand years ago?â
Chu Jianghan shook his head, âI only know the Grand Venerable somehow gathered many strong beings and led them away, but as for where he went, I fear no one knows.â
Li Cheng contemplated silently, many strong beings? They must have been brought out from the Ancient Ruins!
On the side of the Five Elements Elf Tribe, those with Golden Immortal level Cultivation and above were all taken away.
But Iâve never understood why the Golden Immortal Complete from the Earth Elf Clan who self-destructed couldnât have left the Ancient Ruins on his own, he must have been brought out by the Grand Venerable.
But why didnât he leave with the Grand Venerable? Got separated? Or did the Grand Venerable agree to let him stay?
Shaking off the thought, Li Cheng no longer pondered, cupped his fist and said, âThanks for the enlightenment, Chairman Chu!â
Chu Jianghanâs face beamed with a smile, âI should be thanking Master Li, my commerce unionâs task of thousands of years has finally been completed!â
