Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 3663: The Immortal Sect of Alchemy Qi

The flames beneath the cauldron burned more and more fiercely, incinerating the spiritual Qi and twisting the space. At this moment, the flames were so mighty that even some newly broken through Immortal Emperors would not dare to touch the fire.

The old man had clearly been refining this cauldron of pills for a very long time now. He had already reached the conclusion of the refining process. The fragrance of pills from the cauldron grew heavier and heavier.

“These should be mid grade God Tier pills!” Jian Chen stood nearby. His eyes narrowed, and he immediately saw through the quality of the pills.

Mid grade God Tier pills were already enough to fetch quite a price in the Immortals’ World!

Jian Chen remained there for two days. Finally, at this moment, a great roar suddenly emerged from the cauldron, and a powerful energy shook up the cauldron from the inside, blasting open the lid with a boom.

A few beams of fiery light flew out from the cauldron like dragons, wanting to rush out of there with powerful shockwaves.

At this moment, the old man refining the pills waved his hand around and the pressure of a Fourth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor erupted loudly, turning into an illusionary hand that captured all of the pills with ease.

There were a total of nine pills to this cauldron. Each was the size of a longan and blood-red in colour, shining like jade.

They had reached the peak of mid grade God Tier pills. Any further and they would morph into high grade God Tier pills!

“Hahahaha, fellow Dan truly is impressive. You’ve actually managed to refine the Blood Pills of Dragons and Elephants. Even though Blood Pills of Dragons and Elephants are only mid grade God Tier pills, the difficulty behind refining them is no less than refining high grade God Tier pills.”

A clear peal of laughter rang out from outside. An Immortal Emperor great elder of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants arrived on the third floor of the Pavilion of Alchemy. His face was filled with undisguised excitement.

“Blood Pills of Dragons and Elephants are extremely important to our Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. With such mastery over the Way of Alchemy, the treatment that your disciples of the Immortal Sect of Alchemy Qi receive in the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants should improve quite a lot.”

The old man responsible for the pills was exhausted. He tossed the nine Blood Pills of Dragons and Elephants to the Immortal Emperor and said indifferently, “I’ve already refined the Blood Pills of Dragons and Elephants successfully. Now, it should be time for your Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants to uphold your promise.”

Reaching there, as if the old man was afraid that the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants would go back on their word, he further emphasised and said, “Your Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants is a renowned sect on the Reverent Observance Heaven after all. Hopefully, you can uphold your promise.”

“Hahahaha, naturally, naturally. Who do you think we are? How can we break our word?” The Immortal Emperor from the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants laughed and said, “I’ll inform great elder Xiang Bai about the Blood Pills of Dragons and Elephants right now, and then we will unshackle all of the disciples of the Immortal Sect of Alchemy Qi.”

When he heard that, the old man who was referred to as fellow Dan lit up in expression. He asked sternly, “Are the disciples of my Immortal Sect of Alchemy Qi free from here on out?”

“Don’t make things difficult for me, fellow Dan. You know that’s impossible. After all, I’m just a measly great elder. I can’t make that decision unless the ancestors have spoken,” said the Immortal Emperor from the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants.

Fellow Dan’s face sank, but he did not dare to lose his temper. Instead, after a moment of silence, he continued, “Then will the disciples of my Immortal Sect of Alchemy Qi receive the same treatment as the disciples of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants?”

The Immortal Emperor from the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants shook his head and grumbled, “Fellow Dan, don’t hold your hopes too high. After all, you’re also aware of what kind of existence your Immortal Sect of Alchemy Qi is to our Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants.”

“However, I can guarantee you that for the next decade, I will remove the shackles forged from Black Iron of Nine Yin from the disciples of your esteemed sect and bestow them with some immortal pills for recovery and some supreme grade immortal crystals. With that, the disciples of your esteemed sect will have it a little easier here.”

“Of course, they must remain in the Pavilion of Alchemy, and they can’t leave their alchemy rooms.”

“A decade? They only gained a decade of freedom? And they still have to stay in their alchemy rooms?” Fellow Dan was furious. Roaring flames seemed like they were about to burst from his eyes.

“That’s right!” The Immortal Emperor from the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants smiled deeply and continued, “However, as long as fellow Dan hands over a cauldron of Blood Pills of Dragons and Elephants every decade, the disciples of the Immortal Sect of Alchemy Qi will have it very easy in here. They will receive even more resources than before. As long as they obediently complete the alchemy missions delegated to them by the sect, no one will trouble them.”

“Of course, if they can’t complete the sect’s missions, then they will still have to suffer soul-devouring pain or even more severe punishment.”

“Refining a cauldron of Blood Pills of Dragons and Elephants requires eight years at the very least, yet your Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants wants me to refine a cauldron every decade. You’re going too far.” Fellow Dan flew into a rage. Refining God Tier pills took an extremely great toll on him. If he had to produce a cauldron every decade, then even the additional time outside of refining pills would not be enough for him to recover his depleted energy.

Refining God Tier pills was not guaranteed success either. In particular with pills as difficult as Blood Pills of Dragons and Elephants, the failure rate was very high.

“Fellow Dan, this is your new mission. You can just keep going like this. If you can complete it, then all of the disciples of your Immortal Sect of Alchemy Qi will have it very easy. If you can’t, then the disciples of your sect will have to suffer.”

“Fellow Dan, I’ll be taking my leave. I’ve already ordered disciples to fetch materials from the medicinal gardens. New materials will be delivered here very soon. Once the ten decades are up, I’ll come to visit again.”

“After these ten decades, it’ll be completely up to you to decide what kind of treatment your disciples receive.”

The great elder of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants laughed complacently before leaving the Pavilion of Alchemy with the nine Blood Pills of Dragons and Elephants.

After he left, fellow Dan let out a great sigh and sat down on the ground in dejection. He tugged firmly at his head full of white hair. His elderly face was filled with pain and despair.

“Don’t tell me my Immortal Sect of Alchemy Qi will never see the light of day again?” Fellow Dan’s eyes were hollow as he said hoarsely. He felt like the future was completely dark.

“Not necessarily!”

However, as soon as he said that, a voice suddenly rang out from beside him.

“Who is it?” Fellow Dan shuddered inside as his hollow eyes immediately recovered their light. He looked beside him. Before he knew it, a burly man was already standing there silently.

The burly man was Jian Chen after disguising himself with the mask from the Illusionary Daemon race.

“Who are you?” Fellow Dan stared straight at Jian Chen.

Jian Chen smiled gently and clasped his fist at fellow Dan. “How may I refer to you, fellow?”

“I am Dan Chenzi, the current sect maser of the Immortal Sect of Alchemy Qi. Who are you, sir?” Dan Chenzi stared at Jian Chen with interest, but his heart surged with shock.

He could tell with a single glance that Jian Chen did not belong to the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. However, given the kind of tremendous existence that the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants was, someone had actually managed to sneak in without raising any attention.

“I can’t tell you right now who I am. Even if I do tell you, it won’t be the truth. However, we share a common ground. The Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants is our enemy,” said Jian Chen.

“So what? The Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants’ strength is beyond imagination. We treat the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants as an enemy, but in the eyes of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, we’re just ants,” Dan Chenzi said dejectedly. Although he hated the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants to the bone, he was unable to develop any desire for revenge. The only thing he hoped for now was liberation.
