Li Cheng, filled with anticipation and curiosity, began the refining process.
More than 110,000 portions of third-level Rising Yuan Pill materials were put into the tripod, causing its body to swell to a kilometer in size!
The Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod emitted powerful fluctuations, immediately drawing the attention of everyone from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect!
“Hehe, our junior uncle has started alchemy, our earlier investments will yield a hundredfold return!” the First Elder, meeting with the other elders, focused intently on the Eighteenth Peak.
Though far apart, the kilometer-sized Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod was exceptionally conspicuous and clearly visible to all.
“First Elder, your calculation isn’t accurate. When it comes to arithmetic, you need to see my skills!” the Seventeenth Elder retorted.
All the elders simultaneously turned their gazes towards the Seventeenth Elder.
The Seventeenth Elder, grinning, said, “I have calculated it. With our junior uncle’s participation in alchemy, there will be a profit of one hundred and sixty-eight times!”
The First Elder glanced disdainfully at the Seventeenth Elder, “Shu Youlu, are you sure it’s one hundred and sixty-eight times the profit? Did you include the labor costs? Did you account for the fluctuations in material prices? Did you consider the impact on the market after the pills are made?”
Known as Shu Youlu, the Seventeenth Elder considered himself the best at arithmetic, but at that moment, his face changed repeatedly upon hearing these words!
After a while, Shu Youlu sighed with a bitter taste, “It seems I was wrong, it actually doesn’t reach one hundred and sixty-eight times.”
The elders held back their laughter. When it came to splitting hairs, none but the Seventeenth Elder Shu Youlu were acknowledged by them.
“Such things are better estimated generally; there’s no need to split hairs,” the First Elder commented again.
Shu Youlu nodded thoughtfully, his gaze shifting to the huge Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod, his mind drifting to an unknown place.
Li Cheng had already begun alchemy. After more than twenty days of enlightenment, his Spiritual Sense had greatly strengthened, making controlling such a vast amount of materials feel effortless!
As always, he was at ease. Soon, countless third-level Rising Yuan Pills flew out of the tripod like a dark cloud, enveloping the Eighteenth Peak!
This scene plunged the entire Heavenly Mechanism Sect into silence!
Everyone’s eyes widened as they stared at the sky full of Rising Yuan Pills, those with high cultivation levels had instinctively started to probe with their Spiritual Sense.
“Over a million Rising Yuan Pills! All of them of superior quality or above!”
Although no one doubted Li Cheng’s Pill Skill, seeing such a multitude of Rising Yuan Pills emerge left no one calm.
In the midst of everyone’s shock, Li Cheng had already leapt up, flying above the many Rising Yuan Pills, looking up at the gathering Pill Tribulation above!
The opportunity to practice Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture with the help of Tribulation Thunder had come again!
At this moment, far away at a distance of a million li, Feng Wanli suddenly opened his eyes and flew above the Taoist Mysterious Sect, focusing on the south.
Wan Zhongshan and others arrived one after another, also gazing intently into the distance.
Separated by such a great distance, how could they see anything?
But Feng Wanli, being a complete Heavenly Immortal, had perceptions far beyond that of Wan Zhongshan and the others.
“Ancestor Master, what has happened in the south to make you leave your seclusion?” Wan Zhongshan asked curiously.
“Pill Tribulation!” Feng Wanli spoke, his voice trembling slightly.
He could clearly sense that a terrifying Pill Tribulation was amassing far away in the south.
“Oh? Then surely Master Li has started alchemy again!” Wan Zhongshan stated.
Feng Wanli nodded, a trace of helplessness flashing in his eyes. He had always been unable to invite Li Cheng to be a guest of the Taoist Mysterious Sect, which was truly a pity!
Suddenly, an idea struck Feng Wanli, “How long until the Hundred Sects Conference is held?”
The Hundred Sects Conference, that was a grand event held once every ten years, co-hosted by the ten major sects, with every sect from the Southern Domain participating.
“Ancestor Master, there are still three years,” Wan Zhongshan replied, showing some confusion as to why his master was suddenly asking about the Hundred Sects Conference.
Feng Wanli’s brow furrowed slightly, “Three years? By then, I will have returned to the Immortal World.”
“In that case, contact the other sects and arrange for the Hundred Sects Conference to be held earlier. It’s best if we can start in one or two months.”
Upon hearing this, everyone was momentarily stunned. The Ancestor Master was interested in the Hundred Sects Conference?
For this hobby, shall we change the practices that have stood for countless years?
This seems… inappropriate!
After a few seconds of silence, Wan Zhongshan said, “Ancestor Master, what reason should we find?”
Feng Wanli frowned at Wan Zhongshan, “Find a reason? Does our Taoist Mysterious Sect need a reason to act? Do we?”
Wan Zhongshan gave a wry smile, “Don’t we?”
“Nonsense!”
All present wore bitter smiles; such assertiveness was sure to bring about great trouble.
When the Ancestor Master returned, they would have to deal with this tremendous problem!
Such matters could easily lead to self-destructive consequences if not handled with care!
After a few seconds of contemplation, Wan Zhongshan nodded, “Ancestor Master, I’ll handle it right away.”
With that, he led the other high-level members away.
“Supreme Elder, we still need to find a reason, right? Otherwise, it will surely upset the various major sects!” a distance from Feng Wanli, an Elder whispered.
Wan Zhongshan nodded, “Nonsense, do you think 1 don’t know that? I’ve already thought of a reason.”
“Oh? How does the Supreme Elder plan to explain it to the various sects?”
“Just say that three months from now an Immortal Mansion will emerge, and in order to prevent a bloodbath, we’re holding the grand assembly of sects early. The ranking in the assembly will determine who gets entry slots to the Immortal Mansion!” Wan Zhongshan declared.
A Loose Immortal caught up with them and said, “Old Wan, isn’t that complete nonsense? Where will you find an Immortal Mansion when the time comes?”
Everyone was well aware that the reason could be used, but the real issue was how to carry out the deception.
An Immortal Mansion is not something that just appears because one says it will. Moreover, to persuade the major sects with the claim of an Immortal Mansion’s emergence, it must be a high-level Immortal Mansion; an ordinary Immortal’s mansion obviously won’t do!
But even an ordinary Immortal Mansion is hard to come by once in ten thousand years, let alone a high-level one.
Thus, there was practically no way to make this lie convincing!
Wan Zhongshan glared at the Loose Immortal, “Can’t you think of a way? There are plenty of ways.”
The Loose Immortal, full of speechlessness, shook his head, “Old Wan, give us an example!”
“I won’t!” Wan Zhongshan retorted irritably.
“All? What happened? Esteemed Loose Immortals, I have medicine!” Just then, a voice filled with confusion came from afar.
Wan Zhongshan looked towards the voice and frowned, “You have medicine? What do you mean? Speaking unclearly as a Sect Master, what kind of example are you setting!”
This person was the Sect Master of the Taoist Mysterious Sect, who flew over. But before he could continue speaking, Wan Zhongshan went on, “You’ve arrived just in time, the Ancestor Master wants the grand assembly of sects to be held in advance, and he’s entrusting this task to you!”
The Sect Master of the Taoist Mysterious Sect had a baffled look on his face, as if he hadn’t arrived at a good time.
“What’s with that expression? I’m giving you a chance to prove yourself in front of the Ancestor Master, and you’re still not satisfied?”
Seeing his expression, Wan Zhongshan said discontentedly.
The Sect Master of the Taoist Mysterious Sect hastily shook his head, “No, it’s not that. The grand assembly is still three years away. If we hold it in advance, we’ll need to convince the other major sects, and that’s… too difficult!”
“That’s your problem, the Ancestor Master only wants results. Just deal with it!” With that, Wan Zhongshan’s figure vanished on the spot.
Of course, the task was difficult; if it were easy, he would have done it himself. Why else would he give the Sect Master a chance to shine?
At this moment, at the Eighteenth Peak of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, the Pill Tribulation had already begun!
Li Cheng, just like last time, operated the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture with all his might, absorbing the Tribulation Thunder into his body while also activating the Time Law!
The entire Heavenly Mechanism Sect watched in astonishment, witnessing the Tribulation Thunder that slowed down and accumulated into a spherical shape, leaving everyone dumbfounded!
Qi Jingtian was seeing Li Cheng do this for the first time, and his eyes shone with excitement, “That Tribulation Thunder is an excellent force for Body Refinement, I want to try it too!”
