I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head

1824 Stepping Into the Second Level of the Cosmos Stage

A month passed by quickly.

In the Mountain River Diagram, Chu Yunfan, who was sitting cross-legged in mid-air, was flickering with a faint light. It was the appearance of his entire body’s divine power. It stirred up the spirit energy of nature, rising and falling with Chu Yunfan’s breathing. It kept rising and falling like a tide.

After an unknown amount of time, Chu Yunfan suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes burst with a bright light.

Boom!

Then, a series of crackling sounds burst out from his body, like the sound of frying beans. Chu Yunfan’s height suddenly increased by a large margin, and then slowly returned to normal. The surging divine power in his body soared into the sky, and his energy surged into the sky. After a long time, these phenomena finally disappeared.

Chu Yunfan exhaled. “I’ve finally broken through to the second level of the Cosmos Stage.”

After a whole month of crazy cultivation, he finally broke through. His combat strength underwent an earth-shaking change. His conventional combat strength was comparable to the sixth level of the Cosmos Stage, and he could even sweep through a sixth-level Cosmic.

His breakthrough was far more difficult than ordinary people. Therefore, once he broke through, his combat strength would soar and far surpass ordinary people. Once he transformed into a hou, his combat strength would increase by another level and he would enter the seventh level of the Cosmos Stage. If he met Li Qianyuan now, he would not be afraid.

After cultivating to this level, although his level was still inferior, in terms of combat strength, he had the ability to fight with the top figures of the younger generation. Even though Meng Tianren, Zi Buyu, and the others were stronger than him, he could protect himself.

After coming out of seclusion, Chu Yunfan called Chu Hongcai over. Compared to a month ago, Chu Hongcai’s situation was completely different now.

A month ago, Chu Hongcai was just an unknown inner disciple. After just a short month, his situation had changed drastically. Everyone knew that he was Chu Yunfan’s cousin. With Chu Yunfan’s current status, it could be said that he had risen to the top.

Everyone knew that the higher-ups of the Flying Celestials, including the sect leader, treated Chu Yunfan differently. As Chu Yunfan’s only relative, Chu Hongcai was now naturally valued by everyone.

With Chu Yunfan’s support, Chu Hongcai was put in charge of all kinds of affairs in Startling Cloud Peak. The cultivation resources that were originally lacking were now so abundant that they could not be used up. Just the congratulatory gifts sent by various forces to celebrate Chu Yunfan’s promotion to true disciple were a huge fortune.

It was not something that could be compared to back in the Chu clan. What military aristocratic family was not as glorious as a top-notch expert?

The inner disciples and elite disciples wanted to curry favor with Chu Hongcai. Even the legendary true disciples and elders who were originally high and mighty had to treat him as an equal.

The key to all of this was naturally Chu Yunfan. Without him, none of those big shots would even look at Chu Hongcai, let alone treat him as an equal. If Chu Yunfan was just an ordinary true disciple, it would be impossible for those true disciples and elders to look at Chu Hongcai in a new light.

If it was years ago, Chu Hongcai might have been surprised by his sudden wealth. However, after experiencing the destruction of the Chu clan, his thoughts changed drastically. He understood that these people were not trying to curry favor with him, but rather, they were using him to curry favor with Chu Yunfan.

Only when one was strong could one be truly strong.

In his heart, Chu Yunfan was his role model and idol. Chu Yunfan had never played any tricks and relied on his own strength to sweep away the enemies.

“You’ve been doing very well. You’ve managed all these things in an orderly manner. In the future, when we rebuild the Chu clan, you’ll be busy with these things.” Chu Yunfan looked at Chu Hongcai satisfactorily.

Chu Hongcai was, after all, a descendant of an aristocratic family. He was able to understand many management matters. During this period, he managed Startling Cloud Peak well. When Chu Yunfan was in seclusion, Chu Hongcai was the one who took care of everything.

Chu Hongcai had also changed back to his original name. Originally, he had changed his name to Chu Jinghong to deceive others. After all, although those who had destroyed the Chu clan had already died at Chu Yunfan’s hands, their masters and friends were still all over Grand Xia. They could not touch Chu Yunfan, but they could find trouble with him. Therefore, he had no choice but to change his name back then. Now that he had Chu Yunfan as his backer, he could naturally change it back.

“These are all minor affairs. In the end, in this world, strength is what speaks,” Chu Yunfan said.

“I understand, Brother Fan. I will work hard on my cultivation.” Chu Hongcai nodded with a serious expression as he agreed with Chu Yunfan.

In the past, he was just a small inner disciple and no one cared about him. Any random person could surpass him. But now, things were different. Everyone had to respect him, but all of this was not fought for by himself, but because of Chu Yunfan’s reputation. This was not a reflection of his own strength.

“Mm, it’s good that you have this understanding. I will try my best to guide your cultivation so that you can become an elite disciple as soon as possible,” Chu Yunfan said.

For others, this was a very difficult thing to do, but for Chu Yunfan, who had the resources and strength now, it was too easy.

“Also, what’s going on between you and Junior Liu?” Chu Yunfan grinned at Chu Hongcai.

Chu Hongcai’s face revealed a rare bashful expression. “Senior Liu and I have promised each other for life. However, I have yet to avenge our clan, and the revival of the Chu clan business is still far away. We don’t dare to delay our relationship though. We’ve already agreed that when my cultivation reaches a certain level and I become a true disciple, I’ll welcome her to my mountain with a palanquin!”

“That’s great. In that case, you must cultivate well. The Chu clan should have such ambition. Why stop at becoming a true disciple? The Chu clan will be relying on you to rebuild in the future. The matriarch and the others would be overjoyed if they knew,” Chu Yunfan said.

He had no interest in rebuilding the Chu clan, so these matters would inevitably fall on Chu Hongcai. With his help and advice, Chu Hongcai’s advancement to the true disciple level was just around the corner. This was not a difficult thing for him.

“Thank you, Brother Fan,” Chu Hongcai said.
