Chapter 170: The Clan Leader Without Prestige 1
Translator: 549690339 |
Li Cheng swallowed the Profound Spirit Pill and began to cultivate.
The Profound Spirit Pill, a Profound Immortal could enhance one minor realm by consuming it, and this one being King Grade, made it even easier to absorb and refine. Not to mention, the power it contained was purer and more overwhelming, and most importantly, it had no side effects.
At this moment, each Clan Leader had rushed back at their fastest speed, immediately gathering all the Immortals within their clans to collect materials for the Profound Spirit Pill.
In the Fire Elf Tribe, Tribe Chief Yan Qing glared at an old Profound Immortal Elder, “First Elder, if we talk about Alchemy and Artifact Refining Materials, our Fire Elf Tribe most certainly has the most!”
“That’s right!” The old man nodded his head, not objecting.
Yan Qing, even more furious, “Since there’s no mistake, then let me ask you, for such a large Fire Elf Tribe, we can only produce materials for one Profound Spirit Pill?”
No wonder Yan Qing was enraged. He had asked the First Elder to gather all the materials for the Profound Spirit Pill within the tribe, and all the members had handed over what they had. But now the situation was reversed, and the First Elder had only handed over one set!
First Elder scoffed, “This is all we have for the materials of the Profound Spirit Pill.”
“First Elder, do you think I’m an idiot?” Yan Qing said coldly.
The First Elder subconsciously nodded his head.
This scene made all the Immortals present stunned.
Yan Qing’s expression turned dark, “Are you determined to oppose me?”
The First Elder clenched his teeth, “Let me put it this way, since you took over as the Clan Leader over ten thousand years ago, our Fire Elf Tribe has only been a laughing stock to others, especially after that incident with Yan Yao. Our tribe has completely become a joke!”
“Therefore, the Elder’s Assembly has already agreed that it’s time for a new Clan Leader!”
The First Elder’s words made Yan Qing’s face change.
In the Elf Tribe, any decision unanimously agreed upon by all the Elders cannot even be changed by the Clan Leader.
But clearly, Yan Qing felt that he had become a scapegoat.
The Fire Elf Tribe treated those with impure bloodlines as slaves, which was a precedent set by the Elders themselves. And now they were blaming him for it?
“We have over a thousand sets of the Profound Spirit Pill materials within the tribe. Considering that the new Clan Leader hasn’t been chosen yet and you are still the Clan Leader, giving you one set is already showing you the utmost kindness!” said the First Elder.
“Right, Clan Leader, you’re an Artifact Refiner, what do you need Immortal Pill materials for? Just take one set and have fun with it,” someone said, laughing.
Yan Qing’s gaze swept across the crowd, and he took a deep breath, “You’re right, I’ve been in this position for over ten thousand years and haven’t made any special contributions to the tribe.”
“But, haven’t you done the same? If we’re changing the Clan Leader, then we might as well replace all the Elders too. It’s time for a major bloodline overhaul of the entire tribe!”
As he spoke, Yan Qing’s Immortal Yuan surged, condensing a flaming token in front of him, he declared loudly, “The whole upper echelon will change, and other four tribes will assist to prevent turmoil within our tribe.”
“Now, as the last thing I do as the Clan Leader for the Fire Elf Tribe, I command you with the Elf Fire Token, hand over all the Profound Spirit Pill materials!” The Elders at the scene were stunned. Was this mutual destruction?
The Elders united to depose the Clan Leader, and the Clan Leader used the Elf Fire Token to depose the Elders…
Everyone suddenly felt that there was a flaw in the Clan Leader system; otherwise, why would such a situation arise?
In truth, they had inherited it for countless years, how could it not be perfected. It was simply that they had never before encountered a situation where more than ten Elders jointly deposed a Clan Leader. After all, even the least successful Clan Leader would have a few loyal Elders!
Even if only one Elder disagreed, the Clan Leader could not be replaced!
And these Elders not reclaiming the Elf Fire Token immediately was their oversight.
The First Elder stared at the Elf Fire Token, his expression darkened. He composed himself and attempted to remain calm, “The total replacement of the high level is a major issue, let’s discuss this matter further. I want to know, what do you need all the Profound Spirit Pill materials for?”
Yan Qing’s demeanor was calm as he looked indifferently at the First Elder, then swept his gaze over the others, “Among you, surely quite a few are Alchemy Dao Immortal Masters, but have any of you refined an Emperor Grade Immortal Pill?”
“Clan Leader is jesting. The path of Alchemy Dao is profound and vast. Ever since our ancestors above the Golden Immortal level left more than ten thousand years ago, our clan rarely even sees Emperor Grade Immortal Pills, let alone King Grade,” said Li Cheng.
His words were met with agreement from the crowd, as everyone nodded in acknowledgment.
Yan Qing laughed, “Master Li Cheng refining pills in Huaguo Mountain produced a furnace of Profound Spirit Pills, yielding twelve in total, eleven of which were of Emperor Grade quality, and one was King Grade.”
“While Master Li Cheng has some free time, quickly bring all the materials for the Profound Spirit Pills to me. Missing this opportunity would make you a sinner of the Fire Elf Tribe!” he exclaimed.
Everyone frowned, recalling the times they had seen the formidable Alchemy Immortal Masters in their clan refining pills and had never witnessed such quality.
“Isn’t Master Li Cheng an Artifact Refiner Immortal Master? Clan Leader, are you joking?” the First Elder asked with a furrowed brow.
Yan Qing snorted coldly and waved the Elf Fire Token in his hand. “I’ve already said enough, hand over the materials!” he commanded.
The First Elder, feeling helpless, tossed over a storage ring filled with more than a thousand sets of materials for the Profound Spirit Pills.
After inspecting them, Yan Qing left, satisfied.
“He said it’s in Huaguo Mountain? Let’s go take a look. If he’s lying, we’ll immediately force him to hand over the Elf Fire Token and strip him of his Clan Leader position,” suggested an Elder.
Everyone nodded in agreement and rose into the air in unison.
It was much simpler for the other four tribes, with their clan leaders only needing to speak and all the materials for the Profound Spirit Pills were sent over.
It was rare to see a clan leader like Yan Qing who had held his position for tens of thousands of years but held almost no prestige.
His Golden Immortal level cultivation was even disregarded by the Elders.
Two days passed, and the Clan Leaders of the Five Elements Elf Tribe gathered again in Huaguo Mountain, bringing many Pill Masters with them.
The most numerous were from the Fire Elf Tribe. When it came to pill refining and artifact refinement, they were the experts compared to the other four tribes.
“How long has it been since we last saw Master Li? His cultivation has already reached the early stages of True Immortal Realm!” the Fire Elf Tribe’s First Elder said in a low voice.
“He must have used a King Grade Profound Spirit Pill. I didn’t expect him to have finished refining it so quickly,” Yan Qing said with a hint of surprise flickering in his eyes.
Of course, Li Cheng hadn’t completely refined it, as he sealed the remaining potency within his Immortal Infant. If he had finished refining it, he could have at least stepped into the mid-stage of the True Immortal Realm.
But refining Immortal Pills was something that could be done within the Seven Mystery Tower, so Li Cheng didn’t waste time on the process.
Entering the True Immortal Realm was a qualitative improvement; he expected that he could further refine the Divine World, so there was no rush to enhance his cultivation for the time being.
He planned to prepare several more Emperor Grade Profound Spirit Pills and take them back to the Seven Mystery Tower for refining.
Standing up, Li Cheng cupped his fists towards the Clan Leaders and smiled, “Hand them to me!”
The five Clan Leaders stepped forward and each handed over a storage ring. Monkey Kong Xu on the side could only grab his ears in distress, as the Monkey Clan had none to offer!
Casually pouring out the materials from the five storage rings, Li Cheng enveloped them with his Immortal Sense to check them mid-air, “More than two thousand sets, not bad!”
In this Ancient Ruins land, the Five Elements Elf Tribe indeed enjoyed unique benefits. Apart from the Demon Human Clan and Demon Beasts, there were no others to compete with, suggesting that they had likely gathered almost all the Immortal Elixirs available here.
Elder Qingfeng’s gaze shifted away from the plethora of Immortal Elixirs in the sky and cupped his fists, “Based on Benefactor’s pill-making speed from two days ago, it would take about ten days to process all of these, which is a lot of work for the Benefactor!”
“Ten days?” Ling Xi and everyone else exclaimed in unison.
A look of astonishment was evident on everyone’s faces, while Ling Xi’s expression was filled with amusement.
“Elder Qingfeng, you’ve miscalculated. How could two thousand sets of materials possibly be processed in just ten days?” the Fire Elf Tribe’s First Elder said with a smile.
Ling Xi’s beautiful and fair face brightened with a deeper smile, “For my master, who needs ten days?”
