Chapter 465 - 463: Get Out, All of You

The Workshop Master of the Celestial Treasure Pharmacy was once a renowned Alchemy Master, famous across more than a dozen nearby realms.

He had taken on seven apprentices, all of whom were now accomplished Alchemists in their own right.

Even the current Master Fu had once wanted to become the Workshop Master’s disciple but was rejected.

"It’s over. The kid has infuriated this major figure!"

"Tsk, tsk. After offending the Celestial Treasure Master, even if he manages to leave here alive, someone will probably take care of him secretly just to curry favor with the old man!"

Outside the pharmacy, the crowd lamented Luo Tian’s foolish actions.

"Greetings, Workshop Master! This is the man who has been making a scene, causing a ruckus, and disrupting order at the Celestial Treasure Pharmacy!"

Master Fu sidled up and said respectfully.

"Fat old man, you’re finally out!"

Luo Tian shouted.

This sentence left everyone, both inside and outside the Celestial Treasure Pharmacy, completely dumbfounded and wide-eyed!

Calling him a fat old man right to the Celestial Treasure Master’s face—just how badly did this kid want to die?

Sun Ye and Gongsun Long were both dumbstruck.

’Has Luo Tian lost his mind?’

"Idiot. Moron!" Sun Ye sneered.

"Seize him!" Master Fu barked.

The Guards immediately sprang into action, moving to apprehend Luo Tian!

But just then, a voice rang out.

"Everyone, stop!"

The Celestial Treasure Master’s voice was like a great bell, shaking the surroundings!

The Guards felt their blood and Qi churn within them. They froze in place, not daring to move a single step.

"Workshop Master, are you going to personally teach this blind dog a lesson?"

Master Fu said with a smile.

The Celestial Treasure Master stared at him, his murky eyes filled with rage. "You bastard, what nonsense are you spouting?"

An invisible aura erupted from the Celestial Treasure Master’s body, spreading out in all directions!

The aura of a peak Earth Element Realm expert made it difficult for Master Fu to breathe. He stumbled back several steps, his heart pounding in terror.

"Workshop Master, why are you..."

Master Fu was baffled.

’Why is the Celestial Treasure Master angry at me?’

’I didn’t do anything to provoke him! In fact, I’ve been trying my best to please him!’

"What were you planning to do to my honored guest?"

the Celestial Treasure Master questioned coldly.

"What? Honored guest?"

A storm raged in Master Fu’s mind, his face a mask of horror!

Sun Ye and Gongsun Long were utterly astounded!

Luo Tian was the Workshop Master’s honored guest! How was that possible?

"Is the medicine refined yet?" Luo Tian asked.

He had only come to pick up his medicine.

"It is. Here are your three portions of Spirit Calming Powder."

Three Jade Bottles appeared in the Workshop Master’s hand, each filled with a sparkling white powder.

"Spirit Calming Powder?"

Hearing this, Master Fu and the other nearby Alchemists were all shocked.

’Isn’t that a lost recipe?’

"Congratulations, Workshop Master, for successfully deducing the recipe for Spirit Calming Powder!"

"Workshop Master, your skills in Alchemy are profound! We are in absolute awe!"

The crowd of Alchemists exclaimed in reverence.

Master Fu also sighed in admiration. ’As expected of the Workshop Master. Only he could have refined Spirit Calming Powder for Luo Tian.’

"I did not deduce this recipe. It was a gift from this young brother!"

the Workshop Master replied calmly.

He would not accept credit that wasn’t his.

BOOM!

The surroundings immediately erupted in an uproar.

The recipe actually belonged to Luo Tian!

"Damn it, he really had the recipe for Spirit Calming Powder!"

Beyond his shock, Master Fu was filled with immense regret!

Luo Tian had initially come to him to refine the Elixir Pills. The recipe for Spirit Calming Powder should have been his!

Master Fu shot Sun Ye a vicious glare.

’If it weren’t for this brat causing trouble, how could things have ended up like this?’

"Fu Mo, you have disappointed me greatly!"

The Workshop Master glanced coldly at Master Fu.

That day, after Luo Tian told him what Master Fu had done, the Workshop Master had been in a hurry to perform Alchemy and didn’t bother to deal with Master Fu!

Who would have thought that on Luo Tian’s second visit to the Celestial Treasure Pharmacy, he would once again be targeted and given trouble by Master Fu.

Luo Tian was the honored guest who had given him the precious recipe for Spirit Calming Powder!

A chill ran through Fu Mo as he felt the Workshop Master’s wrath.

He immediately turned to Sun Ye and Gongsun Long and roared, "You two bastards! How dare you lie and claim the Workshop Master’s honored guest was causing trouble! Do you know your crime?"

Sun Ye was completely baffled.

He couldn’t for the life of him figure out how Luo Tian had become the Workshop Master’s honored guest.

Gongsun Long felt even more wronged. He had been a mere bystander from start to finish, yet Master Fu was now framing him to shift the blame.

"Men, throw them both out!"

Master Fu shouted hastily.

Sun Ye and Gongsun Long didn’t dare resist and were thrown out by the Guards.

After doing all this, Master Fu bowed and scraped before the Workshop Master. "I was in the wrong here. I failed to understand the facts and believed the malicious words of others, nearly driving away the Workshop Master’s honored guest."

The Workshop Master said with a cold expression, "You can get out too!"

Everyone around drew in a sharp breath.

The Workshop Master was actually going to expel Master Fu for the sake of this customer!

"Workshop Master, this wasn’t my fault! It was all Sun Ye’s meddling that made me misunderstand this honored guest! Please give me a chance!"

Master Fu pleaded.

"Back then, Luo came to you with the recipe to refine Spirit Calming Powder, but you were arrogant and condescending, and you drove him away!"

"Today! You will leave!"

The Workshop Master’s words boomed, carrying an tone that allowed no argument!

The crowd outside had originally thought they could take the opportunity to recruit Master Fu after he left the Celestial Treasure Pharmacy.

But upon hearing the Workshop Master’s words, they immediately gave up on the idea.

Master Fu was really something else, turning away such a massive opportunity that landed right on his doorstep.

Recruiting someone like that into their own faction would be like inviting in a rotten apple or a jinx.

"Get out!"

Master Fu was driven out by the Guards.

"Luo, please forgive me."

the Workshop Master said, sounding slightly apologetic.

"It’s fine. He’s just a noisy dog."

Luo Tian put away the Spirit Calming Powder and prepared to leave.

"Wait, Luo, please accept this token!"

The Celestial Treasure Master handed over a round token engraved with the intricate pattern of an Elixir Pill.

"This token represents the status of a high-level honored guest of the Celestial Treasure Pharmacy. With it, you can enjoy a thirty percent discount on all transactions at the Celestial Treasure Pharmacy and its affiliated shops!"

The eyes of everyone around immediately focused on it.

The Celestial Treasure Pharmacy was extremely famous, with shops in many Martial City Spirit Halls, and its quality was guaranteed.

A Martial Artist’s Cultivation is inseparable from Elixirs of Life. With this token, one could save a huge amount of expenses.

"Farewell!"

Luo Tian accepted the token without ceremony and turned to leave.

As he was nearing the Immortal Residence,

Luo Tian saw Sun Ye and Gongsun Long up ahead. Both looked terrible.

"Senior Brother Gongsun, your business is finished. You can return to the Tai Yuan Sect now, right?"

Luo Tian called out.

"Luo Tian, you know the Workshop Master of the Celestial Treasure Pharmacy. Why didn’t you say so earlier?"

Gongsun Long’s brows furrowed slightly.

’If Luo Tian had mentioned this earlier, would I have looked down on him? None of today’s events would have happened.’

’I might have even asked Luo Tian for an introduction to the Celestial Treasure Master.’

Sun Ye also had a resentful look on his face and nodded slightly.

It was precisely because Luo Tian hadn’t said anything sooner. He had lost all face and been harshly reprimanded by Master Fu. If his father found out, he would get another earful!

"I only just met the Workshop Master myself."

Luo Tian said truthfully.

Naturally, Gongsun Long and Sun Ye didn’t believe him.

In their eyes, Luo Tian had deliberately hidden the truth to get his revenge on them.

After packing their things, the few Tai Yuan Sect disciples prepared to leave.

Just then, Shopkeeper Song from the Immortal Residence suddenly appeared, walking over with a smile. "My three honored guests, I apologize if our hospitality was lacking. Please come again!"

Seeing this, the trio of Gongsun Long, Li Ya, and Sun Ye instantly felt much better.

A major figure like Shopkeeper Song was personally seeing them off!

"Shopkeeper Song, you’re too kind..."

Gongsun Long stepped forward and began to speak with a smile.

But he suddenly realized that Shopkeeper Song had walked right past them and was now standing opposite Luo Tian’s group of three, chatting with them.

Gongsun Long froze on the spot, his face flushing red!

It was utterly humiliating!

At the same time, the three of them also realized that Luo Tian’s status was likely anything but simple. Otherwise, why would Shopkeeper Song come to see him off personally?

"Senior Brother, could he really be the honored guest who dined in the Celestial Private Room?"

Li Ya asked via voice transmission, feeling that Luo Tian’s background was extraordinary and unfathomable.

Gongsun Long didn’t reply.

’Judging by Shopkeeper Song’s words and actions, it’s highly likely.’

But none of them wanted to accept this fact.

Gongsun Long and Li Ya couldn’t believe that they had rejected an invitation to the Celestial Private Room, only to follow Sun Ye to the Profound Private Room.

A short while later.

Everyone boarded Gongsun Long’s Void Ship and departed from the Martial City Spirit Hall.

「In the room.」

Luo Tian sat down cross-legged and took out a Violent Spirit Pill and a bottle of Spirit Calming Powder.

Without a second thought, he swallowed them directly.

The moment the Violent Spirit Pill entered his body, it was as if a volcano had erupted. A majestic and violent surge of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi exploded, rampaging through Luo Tian’s body like a maddened Demon Beast Group.

This terrifying Medicinal Power circulated on its own, forcibly pushing his Cultivation forward, making it extremely difficult to control.

An ordinary person, if they could withstand it, would experience a great leap in their Cultivation. However, their foundation would become unstable, affecting their future potential.

Luo Tian immediately consumed a portion of Spirit Calming Powder.

The Medicinal Power of the Spirit Calming Powder was like a clear, pure spring. Wherever it passed, it soothed all agitation.

The violent Medicinal Power of the Violent Spirit Pill was neutralized to a certain extent.

Not only that, but the Spirit Calming Powder itself could also promote Cultivation. When combined, the effects of the two were greatly enhanced!

On that very day.

Within Luo Tian’s Qi Sea Primordial Pool, his True Essence boiled. The Primordial Pool Wall expanded, increasing its capacity.

Luo Tian successfully broke through to the Earth Element Realm Fourth Layer. Everything went smoothly.

After the breakthrough, the astonishing Medicinal Power remained. Luo Tian didn’t let it go to waste, and he continued his Cultivation.

It wasn’t until half a month later that he had fully digested the Medicinal Power of the Violent Spirit Pill and Spirit Calming Powder.

By this time, his Cultivation had progressed immensely!

Not only had he broken through to the Earth Element Realm Fourth Layer, but he had also advanced a great deal beyond it. It was truly a delightful session of seclusion.

"The Violent Spirit Pill and Spirit Calming Powder are truly something else!"

Luo Tian smiled.

These two Elixirs of Life were both expensive and capable of advancing one’s Cultivation in the Earth Element Realm.

The former’s medicinal effect was too ferocious, while the latter’s was too gentle.

When used together, the result was outstanding!

’There are still three months until the Main Peak assessment!’

Luo Tian was still traveling through the Outer Void at this moment, so he continued his secluded Cultivation to consolidate his realm.

...

「Half a month later, at the Tai Yuan Sect!」

Inside an elegant study.

Steward Lü suddenly received a message.

"They failed?"

Steward Lü’s expression immediately darkened.

He had arranged for two masters at the Earth Element Realm Seventh Layer and three at the Peak of Earth Element Realm Sixth Layer, yet they had all failed!

"Did the kid return with the other Official Disciples?"

This was indeed a difficult situation.

Gongsun Long and Li Ya were both at the Peak of Earth Element Realm Sixth Layer. Adding Sun Ye and the others, there were a total of eight Tai Yuan Sect disciples, and none of them were easy targets. The difficulty of quickly killing Luo Tian and escaping was too great.

If things dragged on for too long, they would risk exposing themselves.

Hunting Tai Yuan Sect disciples near the sect itself was absolute suicide.

That was why the people Steward Lü had sent didn’t make a move.

’No rush. There’s still plenty of time to deal with you! Besides, you’re out in the open, while I’m in the shadows...’
