“Little Junior Uncle, there is a serious matter to discuss. Could you come to Heaven Secret Hall?”
Hearing the message just as he was about to head north, Li Cheng raised an eyebrow. What’s going on?
He generally kept out of sect affairs.
With his Spiritual Sense locking onto Heaven Secret Hall, Li Cheng was somewhat puzzled to find that eleven Loose Immortals had gathered!
It must be an important matter; otherwise, Mu Xingzhi wouldn’t allow so many Loose Immortals to show themselves to everyone.
Without hesitation, he stepped forth and was already present in Heaven Secret Hall, “I greet the seniors.”
Of the eleven Loose Immortals in the hall, Li Cheng had only met Bai Tieyi before.
However, the last time he saw him, he was a Five-Tribulation Loose Immortal, but now Bai Tieyi had actually become a Seven-Tribulation Loose Immortal!
All the Loose Immortals nodded in unison, sizing up Li Cheng with satisfaction.
In this appraisal, without exception, all of them had a deep look of surprise flashing in their eyes, thinking to themselves, “How formidable!”
“Little Junior Uncle, we need your help with a matter,” Mu Xingzhi said candidly.
Li Cheng looked at Mu Xingzhi with a puzzled expression, his eyes clearly conveying his thought: You need my help with so many Loose Immortals around?
In a flash of insight, Li Cheng understood, “Alchemy?”
Mu Xingzhi was delighted, “Exactly, we would like to ask Little Junior Uncle to help refine some Responding to Calamity Pills!”
Li Cheng was speechless. Are you afraid I won’t agree, so you specifically called so many senior Loose Immortals?
Without saying much, Li Cheng held out his hand, “A trivial matter, hand them over.”
Now that he was here, could he even refuse?
Just a few Responding to Calamity Pills, it wouldn’t take much time, and with forty strands of the Rule of Fire, prepare to have your life’s perception sped up.
Moreover, Li Cheng found that with these few alchemy sessions, the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod seemed almost capable of speaking.
This certainly indicated that alchemy is part of the growth of the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod.
Mu Xingzhi quickly produced a Storage Ring, “Your effort is much appreciated, Little Junior Uncle!”
“I’ve already said it’s a small matter… What the heck!”
Li Cheng, who had been nonchalant, was suddenly astonished upon seeing the materials in the Storage Ring.
Mu Xingzhi smiled awkwardly, “Hehe, thank you for your effort, Little Junior Uncle!”
Li Cheng slowly turned to Mu Xingzhi, containing his astonishment, and calmly said, “Is our sect really this wealthy?”
Li Cheng was aware that not long ago, Mu Xingzhi had to have Elder Seven go through quite some effort to collect medicinal herbs.
But now, they could produce materials for a whole two thousand Responding to Calamity Pills!
That was two thousand portions!
Even Pill Sect might not be able to produce that many, right?
Back then, when Pill Sect contributed a hundred portions of Responding to Calamity Pill ingredients, it was a significant loss to them!
Mu Xingzhi chuckled nervously, “Haha, after all, our sect is also a super sect with a legacy of several hundreds of thousands of years. Materials for Responding to Calamity Pills, such strategic resources, of course, we’ve saved quite a bit!”
“There might be tens of thousands portions, but we don’t want Little Junior Uncle to work too hard, so there’s no need to refine that many.”
Li Cheng looked at Mu Xingzhi with a peculiar expression. Keep boasting, those materials in the Storage Ring are clearly recently gathered, not something that has been stored for years.
Tens of thousands of portions? If the sect was that rich, would it be at the bottom of the ten great sects?
You don’t want me to work hard? This clearly sounds like you’re trying to give me some consolation.
Li Cheng had no idea that to recruit this labor force, Mu Xingzhi had persuaded nearly all of the sect’s Loose Immortals.
For the past half a month, these Loose Immortals traveled everywhere through Transmission Arrays, nearly exterminating all the high-level demon beasts in a small half of the Southern Domain.
This action had offended countless demon beast Loose Immortals.
But the Heavenly Mechanism Sect wasn’t afraid because soon they would have a large number of Responding to Calamity Pills. Then, the strength of the sect’s Loose Immortals would soar once again. Would they fear those demon beast Loose Immortals?
Having slain so many high-level demon beasts, of course, he would take them to the Hundred Calamities Commerce Union to exchange for the Responding to Calamity Pill materials, which is why he had so many at this moment.
“Junior Brother, you have worked hard!” Bai Tieyi also clasped his fist and said with a smile.
“It’s a small matter, a small matter!” Li Cheng returned the gesture with a laugh.
When facing one’s seniors, one must still be polite.
Moreover, even with two thousand servings, the current Li Cheng did not take it to heart at all; it was, after all, just a matter of one furnace.
“Since that is the case, then everyone, please lend me a hand. 1 will conceal the heavenly secrets with the Heaven Secret Immortal Scroll; it would be best if this pill concoction were not known to outsiders.” An elder appeared out of nowhere in the hall and said aloud.
The Sect Master?
Li Cheng examined the elder and guessed his identity.
For only successive Sect Masters cultivate the Heaven Secret Immortal Scroll.
The group of Loose Immortals all nodded in unison, giving Li Cheng an approving look, then followed the senior Sect Master and left.
“Little Junior Uncle, with the old Sect Master and the others covertly concealing heavenly secrets, we will concoct pills at the summit of Heaven Secret Peak,” Mu Xingzhi said with a smile.
Li Cheng nodded, “If the two thousand servings of Responding to Calamity Pills are completed, the commotion of the Pill Tribulation they attract won’t be small. Can such heavenly secrets be concealed?”
Mu Xingzhi chuckled and looked towards the exterior of the hall with full reverence, “Regarding concealment, there are ‘covering’ and ‘hiding.’ Faced with the Pill Tribulation, we cannot cover it but we can hide it!”
Li Cheng understood, disguising it as a different tribulation!
If the Pill Tribulation were strong enough, it could be disguised as a Loose Immortal Tribulation; if not too powerful, it could be disguised as a Heaven Tribulation.
With the profound mysteries of the Heaven Secret Immortal Scroll, it was entirely possible.
Upon reaching the summit, Li Cheng took out the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod and placed all the materials inside it.
The Seventh Elder had long been waiting to the side, his excited expression hard to conceal, “See, 1 told you, no matter how many materials are given to Little Junior Uncle, he could handle them all in one furnace!”
Mu Xingzhi nodded, “You should learn more from Little Junior Uncle. When Little Junior Uncle ascends one day, we will still be counting on you!”
The Seventh Elder glanced in the direction of the Eighteenth Peak with a smile, “Ling Xi, our Little Junior Sister, is much stronger than 1 am. In time, we can rely on her!”
Mu Xingzhi was somewhat puzzled, but did not inquire further, for Li Cheng had already begun!
The Heaven’s Hidden Soul Nourishing Flame surged forth, its scorching aura making it difficult for people to breathe, startling Mu Xingzhi and the others into gawking.
“How long has it been? Little Junior Uncle’s Spiritual Fire has become so strong?”
“Not only the Spiritual Fire has strengthened, but when Little Junior Uncle appeared in the hall just now, all the Loose Immortal forebears showed a shocked expression. It seems that Little Junior Uncle’s physical body and True Yuan have become terrifyingly strong!” Mu Xingzhi said.
He had observed carefully, and from the expressions of those Loose Immortal forebears, it wasn’t hard to tell that Li Cheng’s strength had shocked them all.
“I think, perhaps his Spiritual Sense has also become far stronger than before!” Mu Xingzhi added.
Recalling his past actions of transmitting his voice in front of Little Junior Uncle, Mu Xingzhi felt it was essential to remind the sect’s Loose Immortal forebears.
They shouldn’t follow in his own footsteps.
Judging from Little Junior Uncle’s pill concocting speed, his Spiritual Sense had grown much stronger than the last time he concocted pills, definitely strong enough to easily hear the transference voices of the Loose Immortal forebears.
So, a reminder was necessary!
While he pondered, countless pills’ rolling sounds emerged from within the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod, pulling Mu Xingzhi back to reality.
He had grown accustomed to it; hearing this sound meant the pills were about to emerge!
“To concoct two thousand servings of materials so quickly, even faster than the last time when it was only a thousand servings, has it just been the time for a cup of tea?” the Seventh Elder murmured, his eyes filled with astonishment and helplessness.
Shock was natural; as for helplessness, he presumably felt he could never reach the heights of Little Junior Uncle.
The very next moment, countless Responding to Calamity Pills flew out from the tripod, and at the same time, an astonishing force fluctuated in the sky!
“This fluctuation is already no weaker than a Heaven Tribulation, could it be Little Junior Uncle is about to cross a tribulation?”
The Seventh Elder looked at the sky and murmured.
Without intending, the speaker can provoke thoughts in the listener, and Mu Xingzhi’s eyes suddenly brightened up.. He quickly looked towards Li Cheng, thinking if they could incidentally cross a Heaven Tribulation, that would be perfect!
