Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards-Chapter 136 - 99: Learning Alchemy, Feigning Death, and Shedding One’s Shell Like the Golden Cicada!

Chapter 136: Chapter 99: Learning Alchemy, Feigning Death, and Shedding One’s Shell Like the Golden Cicada!

"If in the future there’s a chance to encounter a Heaven and Earth Spirit Flame, it would be worth trying to subdue it. However, for now, for alchemy, using the Innate True Fire catalyzed by the liquid mana of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator should suffice..."

"Currently, focus on the four elements of alchemy; we only need to pay attention to the alchemy materials and the pill furnace for now..."

"Why not head to the Sect’s Treasure Pavilion and exchange for a pill furnace now?"

Qi Chuan pondered in his heart.

"Qi Chuan, are you in the Cave Mansion?"

Just as Qi Chuan was contemplating the matter of the pill furnace, a voice came from outside, entering the Cave Mansion.

Moreover, this voice seemed to use some sound transmission method, echoing only inside the Cave Mansion and not disseminating outside.

"Is this... the voice of my master? Has my master returned?"

Upon hearing this voice, Qi Chuan looked up, showing a hint of surprise on his face.

Originally, he knew that it wouldn’t be long before the people of the Wind Moon Sect randomly teleported out of the Secret Realm Space, would start returning one after another. Naturally, his Sect Leader Master could also return, but he hadn’t expected it to be so soon.

In such a short time, probably not many other elders and disciples of the Wind Moon Sect would have returned yet, right?

Perhaps the place where the Sect Leader Master was teleported was not far from the Wind Moon Sect?

But since he had returned, Qi Chuan let out a sigh of relief in his heart.

After all, now in the Wind Moon Sect, Profound Sword True Master is in closed death retreat, and with the threat from the Celestial Soul Hall outside, it requires the Sect Leader Master to oversee and protect it. If anything had happened to the latter, the Wind Moon Sect would immediately be plunged into turmoil.

Thinking this way, Qi Chuan opened a gap in the array covering the Cave Mansion, then went to welcome him.

Just upon reaching the entrance of the Cave Mansion, he saw his Sect Leader Master, Situ Jiang, approaching with a look of concern.

"Qi Chuan, greetings to Master." Qi Chuan saluted.

"Hmm... haha, not bad!"

Upon seeing Qi Chuan, Situ Jiang, who appeared concerned at first sight, let out a huge sigh of relief, then smiled broadly, even laughing out loud, which was rare, and praised Qi Chuan, his face full of recognition and comfort.

"Qi Chuan, was the fortuity in the Secret Realm Space obtained by you?"

Though he already had some guesswork in his heart, Situ Jiang still asked, wanting to confirm.

"Master, indeed, that fortuity has been obtained by this disciple." Qi Chuan did not hide it and said directly.

To be honest, there was no way to hide it. After all, he was the first to climb to the top of the giant mountain, and then the Secret Realm Space showed anomalies, teleporting everyone out randomly. This change was undoubtedly caused by him.

There were only two possibilities. What Qi Chuan encountered on the mountain summit was either a crisis or a fortune.

And now, since Qi Chuan was standing safely in front of Situ Jiang, it could only have been a fortune.

"Excellent! Excellent!"

Upon hearing Qi Chuan’s confirmation, Situ Jiang stroked his white beard, stared at Qi Chuan, and kept nodding, appearing to be extremely happy.

He was happy both for Qi Chuan and the Wind Moon Sect.

After all, with such a high-tier array in the Secret Realm Space, at least a Tier Three Array, and possibly a Tier Four Array, the fortuity within was clear. It was likely at least a Core Formation opportunity or even a Nascent Soul opportunity!

If such an opportunity were seized by someone from the Celestial Soul Hall, it would be a great threat to the Wind Moon Sect. Moreover, with Profound Sword True Master in death retreat attempting to break into Nascent Soul True Monarch, such a threat would be even greater. With Qi Chuan obtaining the fortuity before everyone else, it was equivalent to invisibly resolving a significant threat for the Wind Moon Sect.

Additionally, Qi Chuan, as his disciple, had not only shown remarkable cultivation speed and talent but had also previously killed Lin Sha, who was at the same Foundation Establishment Early Stage, on the Spirit Stone Mine Battlefield, truly proving him to be a true prodigy.

Such a true prodigy is definitely someone potential enough to support the Wind Moon Sect in dire times. If the Supreme Elder fails to achieve Nascent Soul True Monarch and perishes, Qi Chuan could enter Core Formation, saving the Wind Moon Sect from disaster.

Such individuals, not only surviving the Secret Realm Space, but also gaining at least a Core Formation opportunity, or even possibly a Nascent Soul level opportunity, further provide invaluable resources for growth. As Qi Chuan’s master, how could he not be delighted?

"Qi Chuan, there’s no need to tell the master about the fortuity. You should take hold of it yourself. Of course, if you encounter any doubts regarding the opportunity, feel free to point them out, I’ll definitely provide guidance if I know the answers."

Situ Jiang said to Qi Chuan with a smile.

The reason for saying this wasn’t out of disinterest in the fortuity. As a cultivator, there’s none who isn’t desirous of fortuity.

But because he knew his own background, he realized that reaching Foundation Establishment Perfection had almost exhausted his potential, and due to past issues, achieving Core Formation was nearly impossible.

At most, he could forcefully reach the Fake Pill Realm using treasures from the Wind Moon Sect Treasure Vault and perform some Core Formation techniques, but it would be far inferior to a True Core Formation True Master.

That’s why Profound Sword True Master, when facing the end of life, did not consider him for Core Formation potential, fully aware of his situation.

Under these circumstances, regardless of whether Qi Chuan obtained a Core Formation opportunity or a Nascent Soul opportunity, it was of no use to him.

This kind of opportunity, placed upon his disciple Qi Chuan, could be much more impactful.

"Yes, Master."

Upon hearing this, Qi Chuan was quite moved.

Frankly, since joining the Wind Moon Sect and advancing to True Inheritance until his current elder status, both Situ Jiang and Profound Sword True Master had treated him quite well.

Though it was due to his exceptional potential and comprehension of the Celestial Punishment Thunder Prison Visualization Method, regardless, this treatment was evident, and in the future, he couldn’t ignore Wind Moon Sect’s problems.

"However, Master, regarding the matter of obtaining the fortuity from the Secret Realm Space, people from the Celestial Soul Hall might have some suspicions. How should we proceed from here?"

Qi Chuan asked.

"This matter is rather troublesome..." Situ Jiang also frowned.

In the Secret Realm Space, everyone saw Qi Chuan reaching the summit of the giant mountain under the Spirit-Banning Array and Profound Weight Array, which must have led to speculation that Qi Chuan might have obtained the fortune.

Furthermore, because of the high-tier arrays in the Secret Realm Space, possibly Tier Three or above, those people might even speculate that Qi Chuan obtained a Nascent Soul fortuity!

This is a Nascent Soul fortuity!

Even the Core Formation True Masters of Celestial Soul Hall would be tempted, not to mention that if the Eastern Territory Profound Pill Sect, the southern neighbor Valley of Myriad Beasts, and the Northern Domain Sect at North Magnetic Mountain knew about it, they might all have intentions.

In such a situation, not only would Qi Chuan be in extreme danger, but the Wind Moon Sect would also be under great pressure.

We must find a solution to this situation.

"...Qi Chuan, during the time after you were teleported out of the Secret Realm Space, has anyone seen you and known you returned to the sect?"

After pondering for a long time, Situ Jiang suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashing a cold light, containing a hint of killing intent.

This intent was, of course, not directed at Qi Chuan but at those who might have seen him. Under such circumstances, even people from the Wind Moon Sect were not beyond being dealt with.

"Master, after being teleported, I returned to the sect discreetly and have stayed within the Cave Mansion without going outside. No one has seen me return." Qi Chuan had a faint guess at his master’s thoughts and couldn’t help but be slightly alarmed, replied.

"If so, all the better."

Upon hearing this, Situ Jiang let out a big sigh of relief. Qi Chuan’s caution not only saved a lot of trouble but also indirectly saved the lives of some people because he didn’t need to kill those who had seen Qi Chuan.

"Given the situation... my suggestion is, you should feign death!" Situ Jiang slowly unveiled the plan of escape like a cicada shedding its shell.
