I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head

1821 Promotion to True Disciple

Hearing Situ Xuan’s words, even though Jiang Wan’an was furious, he didn’t dare to do anything.

“Since they had agreed on a life-and-death pact, life and death were decided by fate. No one can blame anyone else. This is the sect’s rule,” Situ Xuan continued.

“You’re a grand elder, yet you’re chasing after a disciple without regard for your status or your dignity, Elder Jiang. This is an absolute disgrace!” Situ Xuan continued to berate, “Regardless of whether Wang Yifan is a demon or a demon spy, what you’re doing is inappropriate. Go and reflect on your mistakes. You’re not allowed to come out of seclusion for three years.”

“Yes, sir,” Jiang Wan’an said through gritted teeth.

Although he was extremely dissatisfied, he did not dare to disobey Situ Xuan’s words. Even though he was a grand elder, he was still far from being comparable to the sect leader who had all the power. Even if he was not satisfied, he could only acquiesce.

“As for you, you offended your superiors by killing a few elders and attacking a grand elder. You shouldn’t have done that. However, considering that you were trying to protect yourself, you’ll only be grounded for six months,” Situ Xuan said, “Will you accept this punishment?”

“I’m willing, sir,” Chu Yunfan answered.

He knew that although it seemed like Situ Xuan was going to give each of them fifty strokes, this was the best result he could get. After all, a true disciple had died at Chu Yunfan’s hands, and he had also injured a grand elder. If Situ Xuan did not show any reaction, the Flying Celestials would be in chaos in the future.

With Situ Xuan’s verdict, the incident of a Flying Celestials’ true disciple becoming a demon came to an end. However, the aftermath had only just begun to ferment and did not dissipate with the passage of time. On the contrary, this matter continued to grow and spread.

The whole thing was full of drama, completely beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Just Chu Yunfan, an elite disciple, challenging Wang Yifan, a true disciple, was already a huge matter, not to mention that Chu Yunfan had actually succeeded. Killing Wang Yifan in front of everyone was a miracle.

Since ancient times, Chu Yunfan was the only one who had challenged and killed a true disciple as an elite disciple. There was no doubt about the difference between elite disciples and true disciples. Everyone knew how big it was. Even if an elite disciple was lucky enough to enter the Cosmos Stage and be on equal footing with a true disciple, it was almost impossible to defeat a veteran true disciple, let alone kill them.

After that, Wang Yifan became a demon and his battle strength soared, shocking all the upper echelons of the Flying Celestials. They thought that Chu Yunfan would die at Wang Yifan’s hands before the upper echelons of the Flying Celestials could arrive.

In the end, Chu Yunfan used his trump card and his battle strength soared. Even after Wang Yifan became a demon, he was still killed by Chu Yunfan with a few punches and kicks. All this was already strange enough, but after that, it attracted the pursuit of Wang Yifan’s master, Jiang Wan’an. Not only was Chu Yunfan fine, but he also severely injured Jiang Wan’an.

According to the description from the people at the scene, if Jiang Wan’an had not dodged at the last moment, the consequences would have been unimaginable. He would have almost certainly died under Chu Yunfan’s attack.

The whole thing sounded bizarre and complicated, and many people were curious about Chu Yunfan. Was this elite disciple whom they had never heard of before actually so amazing? What was his background?

If Chu Yunfan had only let a few people know of his existence before, or if most people had ignored him even after hearing his name, then no one dared to ignore his existence now. He had entered the Flying Celestials for only a few years, yet he already possessed such strength. His future was simply limitless. It could be said that no one had heard of him for ten years, but he became famous in one day.

Overnight, Chu Yunfan became the topic of countless people’s discussion. This wave began to spread outside the sect with the passage of time. Especially after Ye Wuxie and the others left the Flying Celestials, Chu Yunfan’s name began to attract more attention.

However, just as everyone was enthusiastically discussing this matter, the higher-ups ‘decision was made. Everyone’s jaws dropped. The handling of Chu Yunfan and Wang Yifan’s life-and-death battle was like giving each of them fifty strokes of the cane. However, the series of rewards that followed surprised many people.

Chu Yunfan, who had killed several elders and a true disciple in a row and also severely injured a grand elder, was promoted to true disciple. The Startling Cloud Peak that belonged to Wang Yifan was also given to him. On top of that, to reward him for killing the demonized Wang Yifan and for his great contribution to the Imperial Court, Chu Yunfan was promoted to second-grade general. He was specially rewarded with two million middle-grade spirit stones and an Evolution Pill. The geng metal sword that originally belonged to Wang Yifan was also given to Chu Yunfan.

For a time, this caused a huge uproar. The punishment from this matter was so light that it could not be counted. However, the reward was extremely generous. The two million middle-grade spirit stones were secondary. The Evolution Pill was an extremely precious pill even for true disciples.

To make an Evolution Pill, many of the ingredients needed were extremely precious. Unless it was a colossus like the Flying Celestials or Grand Xia, it would be extremely difficult for ordinary people to gather all the necessary ingredients.

As for the geng metal sword, it was said that Jiang Wan’an wanted to take it back because the sword was worth a lot. Even more than the Evolution Pill. But for some reason, it was used by the higher-ups to reward Chu Yunfan. Everyone could imagine that there had been another fierce battle behind this.

With these rewards, everyone understood one thing. Chu Yunfan had without a doubt become a favorite of the Flying Celestials’ higher-ups. At the very least, he became someone that a portion of the Flying Celestials’ higher-ups liked. It meant that there were a considerable number of higher-ups standing behind him.

After all, not everyone had a conflict with Chu Yunfan. He had only entered the sect for a short time, but he was already able to kill Wang Yifan, whose strength had increased greatly after becoming a demon. If given enough time, Chu Yunfan’s future would be limitless.

No matter what, the Flying Celestials couldn’t really punish Chu Yunfan, who had a bright future, because of Wang Yifan who was thoroughly investigated and concluded to be a demon spy. There were many true disciples in the Flying Celestials, but only a few of them were truly worthy of great responsibilities and had a limitless future. They were even treated as the future of the sect and were nurtured with all their might.

Although there were only a few of them, these few people in each generation often became the core pillars of the Flying Celestials. Everyone only knew of Hua Xianyuan before, and now they knew Chu Yunfan’s name too.
