Chapter Seventy-four Reporting the Situation

  When the two arrived at Tiandao Peak where Zongzhu was, it was already afternoon. By the time the guard reported to the sect leader and called them in, it was already evening.

  The two of them, along with Ye Tianfan carrying the Mo Men disciple, arrived at the grand hall. The two loudly said: "Ye Tianfan (Xie Qianqiu) pays respects to the Sect Master!"

  Zongzhumu Feng said: "No need for formalities, how's the matter going? It's still quite smooth, right?"

  Ye Tianfan said: "I dare not hide from the sect master, this time going to the two sects was relatively smooth, but the sect master of the Tiandao Sect, Ling Yun, made a request."

  "Oh, I knew he wouldn't agree so easily. You might as well tell me what's going on?" Mu Feng, the sect leader, said with some curiosity.

  Ye Tianfan said, "Reporting to the Sect Master, when the Sect Master of the Tiangong Sect requests a trial, it is possible to add a Golden Dan period cultivator to the trial. It is said that the disciples of the Sect Master of the Tiangong Sect are single-attribute Golden Attribute Spirit Roots, and at the age of only ten or so, they have already achieved Golden Dan period cultivation."

  "It turned out to be this reason, but my Muling Sect now also has a cultivator with a heterodox spiritual root, and it's even a powerful thunder attribute spiritual root. It's not necessarily afraid of him, I'm actually looking forward to it." said Zongzhu Mu Feng nonchalantly.

  Ye Tianfan continued: "Master, this time I came back mainly to report about him." Ye Tianfan pointed his hand at the demonic sect disciple he brought back.

  "Oh, I also want to ask you how you brought a stranger into the sect. What's going on?" The Sect Master Mu Feng was also somewhat puzzled and curiously asked what kind of trick Ye Tianfan had up his sleeve.

  Ye Tianfan was about to respond, but Xie Qianqiu hastily answered: "Master, he is a person from the Demon Sect. We caught him on our way back to the sect. At that time, he slaughtered an entire village of people. He's too detestable."

  "Is it true?" Zong Zhu Mu Feng asked loudly. "Tian Fan, tell me." Upon hearing the Demon Sect's person appear, Mu Feng knew that Ma Hu couldn't be forgiven, because nine out of ten times, the Tian Qi Star's disaster was caused by the Demon Sect.

  Ye Tianfan said, "Master, it's true that a Mo Sect disciple has appeared. According to this Mo Sect disciple, several major demon gates have joined forces this time. It seems that the visitor is not benevolent."

  "Do you know what reason made the silent and invisible Mo Zong appear?" The sect leader Mu Feng knew that it was difficult to determine the purpose of the mysterious and elusive Mo Zong without understanding the reason.

  Ye Tianfan said, "Sect Master, according to the information revealed by this demonic sect disciple, the main reason is that the demonic sect thinks there must be an important reason for the change in the trial period of the three sects this time, and they are worried that it is targeted at the Demonic Gate, which led to the arrival of the demonic sect."

  "Oh, so that's how it is. I thought a fierce battle between good and evil was inevitable. But we must keep a close eye on the Demon Gate's movements, and also communicate with the other two sects." said the Sect Master Mu Feng after letting out a sigh of relief.

  Ye Tianfan said: "Sect Master, you should interrogate this demon sect disciple. Who knows, we might obtain some unexpected information."

  "Good, you've done well. Hand him over to me now. Hopefully we can really get some useful information out of him."

  "Master, since nothing's wrong, let's go. We still haven't reported back to Master and told him everything is fine." Ye Tianfan said, seeing that there was no point in staying behind.

  "Alright, you can go now. Please give my regards to your master. And about the Demon Sect, it's best if you don't mention it to anyone else except for Dan Lao, lest it causes panic."

  "Yes, Master, we understand, we'll withdraw." After Ye Tianfan finished speaking, the two of them left shoulder to shoulder.

  Before long, the two of them arrived at their master Dan Lao's place. At this time, Dan Lao was concentrating on refining his elixir. After all, obtaining that jade slip with the recorded alchemy formula had great use for him, enough to push his elixir refinement skills to the realm of a Grandmaster Alchemist.

  At this moment, it seems that Dan Lao's elixir has been refined to the most critical moment and will be out soon.

  Soon, the alchemy was completed, and a total of nine elixirs were produced. This was considered not bad for the same type of elixir, after all, it was a top-grade elixir.

  If a tenth elixir were to appear, then among the refined elixirs there would be one Elixir King. The efficacy of the Elixir King is only slightly inferior to that of a true divine elixir. Moreover, the efficacy of other non-Elixir King elixirs will also increase significantly. Generally speaking, if an Elixir King appears, it will have some special effects.

  For example, some top-grade elixirs' medicine kings can stimulate certain special blood vessels in the human body, thereby possessing special talents.

  There are also some top-grade elixirs that may have an additional effect of granting immunity to all poisons while exerting their main effects.

  In short, if the top-grade elixir were to produce a Dan Wang, it would be extremely beneficial. However, it has been several hundred years since a Dan Wang last appeared on Tian Qi Xing, which gives you an idea of just how difficult it is to refine one.

  Refining the Dan Wang requires a combination of heavenly timing, geographical advantage, and human harmony. If any one of these elements is missing, it will be impossible to refine even if you have already mastered the art of refining elixirs, let alone a top-grade Dan Wang pill.

  When he saw the two returning, Dan Lao was also very happy and asked: "You're back, don't know if you've encountered any danger?"

  Qianqiu scolded angrily: "Dead old man, when we go out, you don't worry about us at all, and still practice alchemy here with ease, hum."

  "Now that you mention it, I'm a bit worried, but not about Ye Tianfan, but about you. Your personality, which can't tolerate even a grain of sand in your eyes, is the easiest to get into trouble." Dan Lao said with a smile, jokingly.

  As soon as this was said, Xie Qianqiu suddenly became like a mother tiger protecting her cub, about to explode in anger. Fortunately, the last vestiges of his rationality restrained him, and Ye Tianfan also secretly wiped away a cold sweat, after all, their cultivation levels were too far apart, one being in the late Golden Elixir stage and the other in the Congealing Body stage, with no basis for comparison whatsoever.

  "Alright, no more joking around. Tianfan, tell me what's really going on along the way." Dan Lao also didn't want to joke too much, so he asked Ye Tianfan.

  Ye Tianfan said, "Master, regarding the two sects' message delivery, everything went relatively smoothly. The only unexpected thing was that the Sect Master of the Tiandao Sect requested a trial between the Golden Elixir stage cultivators, and the reason is that the Sect Master of the Tiandao Sect accepted a disciple with a single attribute of golden spiritual root, who also has a Golden Elixir stage cultivation."

  "Oh, there's such a thing, it's really unexpected. However, Tianfan, you and your Shifu seem to have already reached the Golden Dan stage of cultivation, shouldn't you go participate?" Dan Lao said unexpectedly after learning about this unexpected event.

  "Alright, alright. I was planning to attend anyway, but I was afraid you wouldn't agree and say that I'm not focusing on my alchemy, so I planned to sneak off and attend." Xie Qianqiu said excitedly after hearing Dan Lao's words.

  When he heard this, Dan Lao glared at Xie Qianqiu with a fierce gaze, obviously blaming him for not telling him, while Xie Qianqiu glared back without showing any weakness and even made a face.

  Ye Tianfan wasn't thinking of participating, so he said: "Master, I only have the cultivation of the Golden Elixir's initial stage. In a competition, I don't have any chance of winning, let's just forget it."

  Dan Lao said resolutely: "I didn't expect you to get a good grade, I just hoped that you could gain some experience."

  Xie Qianqiu also said on the side: "Younger brother, why don't you participate? Your speed is so fast, I completely can't catch up with you, doesn't this show that you're very formidable?"

  "But..." Ye Tianfan wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Dan Lao.

  Old Dan said: "There's nothing to be afraid of, I'll sign you up for it, and when the time comes, you can just go and participate. Don't you even listen to your master's words?"

  Ye Tianfan hung his head and said dejectedly: "Yes, Master, I know, I'll go at that time. Also, Master, although delivering the message didn't have any unexpected events, but on the way back, I encountered some unexpected things."
