Chapter 2874: The Olive Branch from the Immortal Master Alliance

"You..."

Upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’s words, Dylan Sinclair was fine and merely glanced at Killian Diaz, while Killian’s face turned red with anger, unable to vent his frustration.

At this moment, almost everyone watching could see who from the inner Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect wanted to bet with Wyatt.

"Let’s go!"

Finally, it was Maximus Lee who spoke, breaking the suffocating atmosphere that was driving Killian Diaz nearly mad. At the same time, Maximus Lee also led Killian, Dylan Sinclair, and other Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect members away.

However, before leaving, Maximus Lee gave Wyatt Barnes a deep look.

Facing Maximus Lee’s gaze, Wyatt Barnes looked calmly back at him, his eyes indifferent, showing no trace of timidity due to Maximus’s strength and background.

He knew:

At this moment, this is how he must be.

If he allowed Maximus Lee to perceive any cowardice, he would surely deduce that everything said earlier was mere bluffing, realizing that Wyatt actually had no background from a central region’s major family.

At that point, if Maximus wanted to take action against him, he would have no scruples!

"Unexpectedly, really unexpectedly... Alchemist Barnes from the Taiyi Immortal Sect unexpectedly refined eight Rowan Heaven Pills at once! Two more than Alchemist Sinclair from Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect!"

"Looks like Alchemist Barnes indeed held back a month ago."

"Isn’t that obvious? If not purposefully held back by Alchemist Barnes, given his alchemy skills, how could he have only refined three Rowan Heaven Pills about a month ago?"

"Exactly! The difference is too great... As Alchemist Sinclair from Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect said, Alchemist Barnes must have held back purposefully a month ago when refining Rowan Heaven Pills. His purpose was precisely to confuse other alchemists, thereby wagering this way against them to win the stakes they put up."

"Such tactics aren’t uncommon in the annual Pill Tao Conference... If not for Alchemist Barnes’s age being under a hundred years, those from Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect would have surely thought of this, thus being on guard."

"Yes, Alchemist Barnes is too young... Being under a hundred years old and able to refine Rowan Heaven Pills is already quite impressive; no one expected his success rate of refining them would be so high."

"Eight Rowan Heaven Pills... That’s eight Rowan Heaven Pills! Even the publicly recognized top-grade alchemist in the Light Field of Sun Flame Immortal Sect, Charles Davidson, seems to have only refined ten Rowan Heaven Pills at most?"

"At such a young age, already achieving such accomplishments in Pill Tao... The future prospects are limitless!"

...

After the departure of Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect’s group, the spectators once again looked at Wyatt Barnes, unable to help but express their admiration.

"I really don’t know how Taiyi Immortal Sect managed to get him to join... Such an alchemist, even the foremost sect of the Southeast Six Domains, the Xuantian Immortal Sect, would probably hope to have him join at any cost, right?"

"Taiyi Immortal Sect is so lucky."

"Indeed lucky, and not in the ordinary sense."

...

In hushed tones, the people from other top sects also regarded Taiyi Immortal Sect’s good fortune.

"He... actually won!"

In the group of Thousand Spider Immortal Sect, Annie Campbell gazed blankly at a distant purple silhouette, with shock and disbelief on her face and eyes, unable to fathom that this man actually won.

At this moment, the figure seemed to become exceedingly towering in her eyes, making a beautiful brilliance ripple in her gaze.

At the same time, she glanced at Milana Harrington standing not far away beside her, just in time to see a flash of joy in Milana’s eyes.

In an instant, she couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, feeling that her friend was lucky to be involved and entangled with such an outstanding man.

If possible, she would rather it was she who had the entanglement with this man, rather than her friend.

"Third Sister... He actually won!"

Beside Milana Harrington, Alisson retracted her incredulous gaze from Wyatt Barnes and looked at Milana, exclaiming in some surprise.

"I saw it."

Milana Harrington nodded.

Meanwhile, as the Sect Leader of Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect, Milena Nangle looked at Wyatt Barnes again, her gaze growing hotter:

"Such an excellent and talented young man can probably only be cultivated by those major families in the central regions, right?"

"If Milana could be with him... It would be beneficial not only to Milana but also to our Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect."

Thinking of the future, Milena Nangle’s gaze toward Wyatt Barnes became exceptionally bright, feeling that everything about him was pleasing.

"Alchemist Barnes!"

Meanwhile, Shawn Chapman, a Monarch Grade alchemist from the Immortal Alchemist Alliance, stepped forward a few steps, arriving before Wyatt Barnes and greeting him with a gentle smile, sounding very courteous and enthusiastic.

"Alchemist Chapman."

Wyatt Barnes promptly smiled in response.

Shawn Chapman is not only a Monarch Grade alchemist but also has a twin brother who is at the Immortal Lord level.

Even the Sect Leader of the Xuantian Immortal Sect and the three Immortal Lords of Xuantian Immortal Sect wouldn’t dare to overlook such an existence.

Moreover, since Shawn Chapman is treating him very kindly, as the saying goes, ’One does not hit a smiling person,’ thus Wyatt naturally reciprocated with a smile.

"Alchemist Barnes, are you interested in joining our Immortal Master Alliance?"

As Shawn Chapman spoke once more, he extended an olive branch to Wyatt Barnes, evidently hoping to recruit Wyatt Barnes into the Immortal Master Alliance.

The Immortal Master Alliance, though different from a family sect.

However, those who can hold a certain position and have a place in the Immortal Master Alliance are almost all ’Loose Cultivators.’

If they are individuals from a family sect, no matter how outstanding, they would not be heavily used in the Immortal Master Alliance, as the Immortal Master Alliance also worries their thoughts remain with their family sect.

When facing a conflict of interest, these individuals might eventually abandon the Immortal Master Alliance to support their family sect.

In other words:

If Wyatt wishes to pursue a good future in the Immortal Master Alliance, he must sever ties with the Taiyi Immortal Sect and cease to be an alchemist sacrificial officer of the Taiyi Immortal Sect.

"Thank you for the kind offer, Alchemist Chapman... If I were merely a sacrificial officer of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, joining the Immortal Master Alliance wouldn’t matter. However, the problem is, there is a family behind me."

Wyatt first thanked Shawn Chapman and then mentioned the family behind him:

"After this Pill Tao conference ends, I plan to leave the Southeastern Six Domains and return to the central land, to my family."

"Alchemist Barnes’ family is in the central land?"

Upon hearing Wyatt mention he not only has a family but that it’s in the central land, Shawn Chapman couldn’t hide his surprise and felt a bit disappointed:

"Then it seems the Immortal Master Alliance and Alchemist Barnes are not fated to be together."

"However, I truly didn’t expect Alchemist Barnes to have such a background... It’s reasonable to think that, if not for such a background, Alchemist Barnes might not have achieved today’s success at under a hundred years of age."

Saying this, Shawn Chapman continued to speak.

In his words, it was evident that:

Wyatt’s achievements at this age are largely due to his impressive background!

Upon discovering Wyatt has a great family in the central land, even if he cherished talent, Shawn Chapman abandoned the idea of recruiting Wyatt Barnes into the Immortal Master Alliance.

Because the Immortal Master Alliance has its rules:

Only Loose Cultivators can be heavily utilized by the Immortal Master Alliance.

Individuals from a family sect, no matter how outstanding, will not be heavily used by the Immortal Master Alliance.

However, even though he stopped trying to recruit Wyatt Barnes, Shawn Chapman remained extremely courteous to Wyatt Barnes afterward.

The reason for this was purely due to Wyatt Barnes’ current achievements.

Wyatt Barnes’ achievements now are not considered astounding.

Yet, on the basis of his achievements, being under a hundred years old, it’s enough to astonish the entire Southeastern Six Domains, even the entire borderlands!

Even in the central land, someone achieving Wyatt Barnes’ level of success at such a young age is rare.

If there are any, they must be as rare as phoenix feathers.

Such existence, if not prematurely destroyed.

If allowed to grow, they will surely become a formidable giant in the future!

Due to this, facing Wyatt Barnes with promising prospects, even Shawn Chapman, a Monarch Grade Alchemist, proposed building a good relationship with him courteously.

Despite his courtesy, as a Monarch Grade Alchemist, he held his own pride and did not excessively try to curry favor with Wyatt Barnes.

Thus, after exchanging a few polite words with Wyatt Barnes, Shawn Chapman left with Hawk Chapman.

"Alchemist Barnes, congratulations."

After the Chapman brothers departed, the crowd dispersed, and the three top-grade alchemists of Taiyi Immortal Sect, Hunter Swayer, Russel Yorke, and Joshua Davies, approached Wyatt Barnes to offer their congratulations.

"Alchemist Barnes, congratulations."

"Alchemist Barnes, congratulations indeed."

Milena Nangle, Sect Leader of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect, and Julie Simplicity, Sect Leader of the Thousand Spiders Immortal Sect, also offered their congratulations to Wyatt Barnes.

Julie Simplicity was prompted to congratulate Wyatt Barnes after seeing Milena Nangle do so.

"I didn’t expect, as soon as the Pill Tao conference started, to acquire a Monarch Level Immortal Method that combines attack, speed, and defense... In this way, I can use this Monarch Level Immortal Method to acquire similar Divine Abilities in the future."

Obtaining an attack, speed, and defense combined Monarch Level Immortal Method from the Zen Sect was undoubtedly a great surprise for Wyatt Barnes.

Because it also means he has a greater trump card to win the Monarch Level Divine Ability he desires.

And the Monarch Level Divine Ability he desires is precisely the type that combines attack, speed, and defense!

"In this way, even if the King Grade Immortal Artifact of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, with the death of Elder Ancestor Taiyi, can no longer be used as a ’trump card’... I also have a strong enough trump card to compete for a Divine Ability similar to this Immortal Method."

With the death of Elder Ancestor Taiyi, Wyatt Barnes and others do not have the qualifications to use the King Grade Immortal Artifact as a trump card.

Only the Sect Leader of Taiyi Immortal Sect and the current strongest figure within Taiyi Immortal Sect have the qualification to gift this King Grade Immortal Artifact...
