Li Cheng repeatedly inspected the brick, this thing was no simple matter!
Ning Qianqiu turned his head with a proud look plastered across his face, sweeping his gaze over the Pill Sect members.
See that?
You so-called gift-giving experts, not so great, huh? Still worried I’d mess up the gift-giving?
In the end, the joke is on you!
Shentu Feng glared at Ning Qianqiu, who was frightened enough to immediately drop the triumphant look and regain his composure.
“First Elder, what exactly is that brick? It looks like it was taken out from inside a furnace!” Shentu Feng communicated through a message.
Ning Qianqiu was left speechless. When he’s angry, he calls him by his name, but when he’s not, he calls him First Elder?
Clearing his throat, Ning Qianqiu said, “That’s right, it was taken out from inside a furnace. When I got it, 1 almost killed a Loose Immortal with that very brick!”
The muscles on Shentu Feng’s face twitched. Kill a Loose Immortal? With your Tribulation Crossing Stage cultivation?
“Unfortunately, I could not possibly defeat a Loose Immortal, so I had no choice but to accept it.”
Hearing Ning Qianqiu say this, Shentu Feng understood.
It must have been a Loose Immortal who approached Ning Qianqiu, asking him to perform alchemy.
And the payment for the alchemy was that brick!
How could Ning Qianqiu dare to offend a Loose Immortal?
So even if what he was given was a brick, he had to grit his teeth and accept it, even having to happily express his liking with words of gratitude.
“But later, I discovered that the brick was extraordinary; it actually contained natural array patterns!”
At this point, Ning Qianqiu’s eyes flickered with excitement. He originally thought that the Loose Immortal was just looking for free labor, the kind that came with a brick as a threat.
But as it turned out, that brick really was a treasure!
“Natural array patterns? Could it be an Array Pattern Stone?” Shentu Feng asked curiously.
Ning Qianqiu nodded, “Exactly, Array Pattern Stones are extremely rare. If one can comprehend the natural array patterns contained within, the benefits would be considerable.”
Shentu Feng thoughtfully looked towards Li Cheng, who was examining the brick. A Pill Master studying natural array patterns?
Could it be, Elder Li was also skilled in formations?
“Strange, the junior martial uncle refuses the honorary Elder position but accepts a brick…” the Seventh Elder muttered.
“The junior martial uncle has an extraordinary eye, that brick can’t possibly be ordinary,” Mu Xingzhi murmured softly.
The First Elder was full of curiosity, “I’m curious, what sort of background does that Loose Cultivator mentioned by Ning Qianqiu have? A brick from a furnace construction is actually extraordinary!”
Li Cheng studied for a moment and discovered that the brick’s interior had at least a thousand natural array patterns, and deeper within, there was even Immortal Qi!
The natural array patterns sealed the Immortal Qi. If Li Cheng’s mastery in formations hadn’t reached level eight, he would never have found it!
What kind of treasure was emitting the Immortal Qi?
“Only by unraveling the natural array patterns can 1 know, and to undo these patterns, a single moment of enlightenment is enough!” Li Cheng murmured inwardly.
With this thought, Li Cheng put away the brick, and gave Ning Qianqiu a rare slight smile, “Elder Ning has been thoughtful, I like this gift!”
Upon receiving Li Cheng’s approval, Ning Qianqiu was somewhat elated, overwhelmed with excitement.
Suppressing his exhilaration, Ning Qianqiu quickly bowed, “If Elder Li likes it, that’s great. If you’re interested, I can take you to that Loose Immortal anytime.”
Li Cheng nodded slightly, without saying much, and strode towards the center of the square.
It was time for alchemy.
The Pill Sect members hurriedly returned to their spots, and as they took their seats, they cast admiring glances at Ning Qianqiu.
With a smile on his face, Ning Qianqiu let out a long breath, “Finally, I can watch Elder Li perform alchemy!”
There was no hiding the sense of accomplishment in his voice!
People murmured in their hearts, keep being smug!
You might have actually gotten closer to Elder Li, but with your emotional intelligence, who knows when you might be smacked to death for blathering nonsense.
Thinking of this, the members of the Pill Sect felt much more balanced in their hearts.
“Have you noticed the female disciple who came with Elder Li?” one of the Elders suddenly communicated through sound transmission.
“Yes, we saw her. She was brought here by Sect Leader Mu,” someone responded.
Shentu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, “Third Elder, what have you discovered?”
“Sect Master, that female disciple has looked towards Elder Li many times with immense admiration in her gaze, and she followed behind Elder Li when she came. I suspect she is Elder Li’s direct disciple!”
Upon hearing this, Shentu Feng’s heart stirred, “Oh? You mean to say, we should start with Elder Li’s successor? To establish a good relationship?”
The Third Elder nodded; that was indeed the intention.
Elder Li doesn’t accept tokens; giving other gifts would seem too intentional, so we can only approach people close to Li Cheng!
Shentu Feng pondered, “Third Elder, you’ve made a great contribution!”
In the midst of their sound transmission, Shentu Feng’s gaze shifted to Ning Qianqiu, “First Elder, I need you to return to the sect once more and fetch the Spirit Feather Glass Clothes.”
Ning Qianqiu was taken aback, “Sect Master, you don’t mean for me to go now, do you? Elder Li is about to start alchemy!”
Shentu Feng nodded with certainty, “Your speed is fast, it won’t cause much delay.”
“No way, how can 1 leave at such a crucial moment? It would be disrespectful to Elder Li!” Ning Qianqiu’s pleading voice shifted as he used Li Cheng as a shield.
As an alchemist, how could he miss such an opportunity to observe, one who could concoct Emperor Grade pills in the Alchemy Dao!
So the only excuse was that leaving would be disrespectful to Elder Li.
Shentu Feng thought it over and indeed found it reasonable.
Then let’s wait until after the observation is over!
“Sect Master, the Spirit Feather Glass Clothes is a top-grade spiritual artifact, but it’s also an item for females. It’s not appropriate for a group of us old men to present it, is it?” the Third Elder said.
Shentu Feng nodded, “I was so focused on building relationships that I forgot about this aspect. I’ll send a message to Yao’er and have her bring it over!”
With that, Shentu Feng took out a Message Jade Slip and began transmitting the message.
Li Cheng had already arrived at the center of the square, flipped his hand and took out the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod, and then presented a hundred sets of Fusion Dao Pill materials.
To avoid causing too much astonishment, Li Cheng didn’t plan to concoct a thousand sets this time.
With his Spiritual Sense scanning over the Fusion Dao Pill materials, Li Cheng suddenly had a thought and looked towards Ling Xi.
“Ling Xi, come here.”
Calling his disciple over, first, she could observe up close, hopefully grasping something sooner and earning him some Enlightenment counts.
Secondly, it would let all the disciples know that Ling Xi was his disciple, and they should not provoke her in the future.
Ling Xi hastened over, performed a courtesy and said gently, “Does Master have any instructions?”
“Later, you’ll be responsible for collecting the pills.”
After giving his instruction, Li Cheng threw the hundred sets of Fusion Dao Pill materials into the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod.
Alchemy began once again!
“To concoct so many sets at once, it would be hard to believe if not seen with my own eyes!” Ning Qianqiu murmured quietly.
“This is probably a necessary condition for producing Emperor Grade pills, we’ll see as we go on!” Shentu Feng’s eyes glittered with anticipation.
Just as Li Cheng was about to initiate the True Fire, suddenly, he frowned and turned to look northward.
“Junior Uncle, what’s the matter?” the Seventh Elder asked quickly.
The members of the Pill Sect also stood up in confusion.
They were eager to witness the process and results of concocting a hundred sets of materials at the same time, but Li Cheng was frowning and looking northward; what was happening?
After a brief moment of thought, Mu Xingzhi raised an eyebrow, “Junior Uncle, has the Sword Qi you gave been used?”
Li Cheng nodded, he had left a strand of Spiritual Sense within the Sword Qi he had given to Yun Tianqiong, and just now this Spiritual Sense was touched, indicating the Sword Qi had been employed!
Taking advantage of the lingering Spiritual Sense, Li Cheng closed his eyes to sense it.
