âHowever, due to lack of experience, I had never been chosen by the Wan Dan Sect to become one of its registered disciples.â
âBut this time, itâs different.â
âThis time, my preparation is absolutely sufficient.â
âThis time, I will definitely stand out from the crowd and be the one chosen by the Wan Dan Sect.â
â¦
As time passed,
soon, the cultivators inside the great hall began the first step of alchemy.
The somewhat overfamiliar man beside Luo Changfeng
was also starting to heat the furnace cauldron in front of him.
As the temperature of the furnace cauldron in front of him reached a certain degree,
the rather overfamiliar man started to throw the ingredients for the Blood Replenishing Pill into the furnace one by one.
âHuffâ¦â
âThat should be just about rightâ¦â
After completing the preliminary work, the man couldnât help but let out a sigh of relief.
But just as he was about to turn his head to see how far the old master beside him had progressed,
he suddenly froze, somewhat dumbfounded.
His eyes, wide and round, had pupils that were slightly constricting.
Just as he had finished some of the preliminary preparations for alchemy,
the old master beside him had already started the final condensation of the pills with a strong fire.
With the constant infusion of Qi-Blood Force, the flames under the furnace became more vigorous.
The temperature of the furnace was rising at an incredibly fast pace.
The old masterâs alchemy skills were also becoming faster and faster, even some of the finer operations were confusing to him.
Until, the old master had completed the creation of the Blood Replenishing Pill,
the alchemy materials in front of the man in the furnace cauldron had also⦠completely charred at that moment.
âDamnâ¦â
âItâs all ruined, totally ruinedâ¦â
The somewhat overfamiliar man couldnât help but feel like crying without tears.
Then, Luo Changfeng who had completed this series of alchemy procedures,
silently walked forward and opened the lid of the furnace cauldron.
Smelling the gradually spreading fragrance of the elixir coming from within,
he looked at the more than twenty top-quality Blood Replenishing Pills lying silently at the bottom of the furnace cauldron.
He couldnât help but nod his head in satisfaction.
Mirror-Breaking Elixir, Body Tempering Elixir.
It would be fine with these more challenging pills,
but making a mere Blood Replenishing Pill, he could succeed even with his eyes closed.
â¦
After the alchemy was completed.
Before long, Luo Changfeng was respectfully led to another palace by someone from the Wan Dan Sect.
At that time, inside this palace,
there stood a figure, slightly hunched, leaning on a cane,
with a wrinkled face, eyes narrowed into slits,
an old man whose eyes were so cloudy that they were almost unclear.
He was standing there silently,
seemingly⦠waiting for Luo Changfengâs arrival?
Yes, if he wasnât mistaken,
this old fellow was probably waiting for him.
âLuo brother, itâs you, isnât it?â
Upon seeing the silver-haired, thin Luo Changfeng exuding an air of immortality,
and the Wan Dan Sect disciples following behind him,
the old man couldnât help but suddenly open his eyes wide.
A look of excitement appeared in his eyes.
âYou⦠who are you?â
Luo Changfeng looked at the old man holding the cane in front of him, and his face showed a hint of confusion.
âRight, let me introduce myself first.â
âMy surname is Fu, first name Qiu, currently serving as the Sect Master of Wan Dan Sectâs Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect.â
âRight now, I am classified as a Lower Yellow Grade alchemist.â
Luo Changfeng frowned slightly, âAnd then?â
âAnd then, I sincerely wish to invite brother Luo to assume the position of Deputy Sect Master in our Wan Dan Sectâs Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect.â
âOf course, if brother Luo is not satisfied,
the Sect Master position is also available for brother Luoâ¦â
Hearing this, Luo Changfengâs already slightly furrowed brow furrowed even deeper, âWhat do you mean?â
He truly didnât understand the meaning behind this fellowâs words.
He just wanted to join an Immortal Sect.
Then, gather some Spirit Stones to use.
How did it come to this?
How did it suddenly come to offering him the position of Deputy Sect Master?
What does it mean that, if heâs not satisfied, even the Sect Masterâs position could be considered?
âBrother Luo may not know, but the competition within the Wan Dan Sect is incredibly fierce,â
âRegardless of how numerous the Sub-sects of the Wan Dan Sect might seem,
âto secure sufficient resource allocations for oneâs own Sub-sect is quite a struggle.â
âIn the Da Feng Dynasty, there are thirteen prefectures.â
âEach prefecture has a Sub-sect assigned by the Wan Dan Sect.â
âThe resources allocated to the Sub-sects of the Wan Dan Sect are entirely dependent on their rankings.â
âA higher ranking means more resources.â
âA lower ranking results in fewer allocated resources.â
âThe Sub-sectsâ rankings are almost yearly, minutely and accurately adjusted by the Main Sect based on various factors.â
âLast year, our Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sectâs ranking was the twelfth within the Da Feng Dynasty.â
âWe were just a little short of being last.â
âSuch a situation makes me, the current Sect Master of the Wan Dan Sectâs Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect, feel quite ashamedâ¦â
âTherefore, if brother Luo is willing,
âYou can take over as the current Sect Master of this Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect, and that would be just fine!â
â¦
Fu Qiuâs words echoed through the grand hall,
After hearing them, Luo Changfeng fell into a deep contemplation.
He had thought that the relationship between a Sub-sect and the Main Sect of the Wan Dan Sect was merely one of talent provision.
