Chapter 681: Chapter 691: Elites Gather
Elder Wanfa appreciates Chu Feng’s temperament greatly.
Those who cultivate often face various hardships. One must always maintain optimism, fear no difficulty or danger, and not be afraid of death.
Only by doing so, one can defy the heavens and become a formidable powerhouse.
Almost every powerhouse who has cultivated to the Supreme Sword God Realm or above has undergone countless trials and transformations step by step.
In this treasure hunt, it was agreed by all major forces to keep the participants’ cultivation below the Supreme Sword God to prevent severe injuries.
After all, for any force, a Supreme Sword God is a pillar of strength.
Such a level of masters, even a single casualty, let alone injury, could have severe repercussions.
Even a powerful sect like Ten Thousand Sword Sect, which has several Supreme Sword Gods, still needs to keep the death of Elder Wen Qingliu highly confidential.
They absolutely cannot let the news leak out.
Imagine, those forces with only one or two Supreme Sword Gods are even more fragile.
It is very possible that the fall of one Supreme Sword God could lead directly to the downfall of that power.
"So, all the experts participating in the treasure tree contest are Nine-star Sword Gods or below! That’s indeed good news," Chu Feng subconsciously touched the Seventh Grade Talisman Elixir in his sleeve.
If the cultivations of all contenders are below Nine-star Sword God, he could indeed act unrestrainedly.
At least, he has a high chance of winning the treasure.
"Although all the major forces have agreed, it’s not absolute. Our Ten Thousand Sword Sect’s Si Huang will also be participating in this treasure fight, and she is at the Supreme Sword God level. I guess other major forces will also send their most powerful young masters to some extent," said Elder Wanfa.
From Elder Wanfa’s words, it wasn’t hard to discern the importance of Si Huang within the sect.
The number one Heavenly Pride of the inner sect, who has broken through to the Supreme Sword God Realm at such a young age, naturally holds significant weight.
Chu Feng secretly guessed that the sect’s higher-ups probably intended to temper Si Huang as well, paving the way for her promotion to Supreme Elder.
"I heard you have a quite special relationship with Si Huang, this trip could be a good opportunity for her to look after you," Elder Wanfa said with a half-smile looking at Chu Feng.
"Ah... Who did Master hear that from? That’s not true, she and I are almost like enemies. It’s better not to expect her to take care of me," Chu Feng repeatedly shook his head, totally disagreeing.
"You lad, why be embarrassed to admit it in front of your master? It has already spread all over the sect. It’s said that while you were teaching her swordsmanship, you were dual cultivating with her in the transmission chamber."
Supreme Lord of Wanfa Sect greatly admired his newly accepted disciple.
Not only is he great at cultivation, but he’s also especially good at impressing girls.
"I..." Now Chu Feng finally understood the perils of rumors. At that time, in order to enrage Han Sheng, he had deliberately said some misleading words.
But those gossipers, each one of them, imagined things on their own.
Thinking that Chu Feng and Si Huang developed more than friendship in the transmission chamber. Now Chu Feng really can’t clear his name even if he jumps into the Yellow River.
The news reaching the ears of his wives Han Shuang and Han Xiaoying, is likely to make them extremely jealous again.
"Alright, you don’t need to explain anything to your master. I am just giving you a suggestion, this trip is very dangerous, having Si Huang to protect you can also be safer. Since your cultivation is only at the Late Stage Sword Saint, you can’t wield magical treasures. So, there’s no point in me rewarding you with a magical treasure,"
"It will be just a few days before we depart. Your talent in Alchemy is very impressive, go back and focus on producing more batches of Elixirs. If you need any materials and lack enough merit or silver, just have the people at Duobao Pavilion charge it to my account."
Supreme Lord of Wanfa Sect is definitely a down-to-earth person.
He is exceptionally good to Chu Feng.
He gave Chu Feng this authority because he trusted Chu Feng’s character. Otherwise, Chu Feng could fully take the opportunity to select many precious medicinal materials from the Duobao Pavilion.
In any case, the accounting would be charged to Elder Wanfa’s account.
...
After leaving the Ten Thousand Laws Peak, Chu Feng actually went straight to the Duobao Pavilion and purchased a lot of materials for making advanced level elixirs and talismanic elixirs, as well as related materials.
He did not buy on credit.
Because he did not lack money for the time being. Not to mention anything else, just the monthly revenue from Longevity Hall was enough to ease Chu Feng’s financial concerns.
Moreover, he himself had the skills for alchemy and only needed to purchase raw materials.
That could save him a good amount of silver.
In just a few days, Chu Feng didn’t plan to produce too many elixirs. He just prepared to make several batches of essential elixirs. Such as Healing Elixirs, Detoxification Pills, and Body Protection Elixirs specifically for use in the Yin Fiend Land, etc.
Talismanic Elixirs were a priority; he would produce as many batches of Sixth Grade Talisman Pills as possible.
As for Seventh Grade Talisman Elixirs, Chu Feng wasn’t very confident, but he still planned to give it a try. Even if it turned out like the last time, producing just one would still be quite good.
Since this trip to the Gate of Hell might take a long time before he could return, Chu Feng completed this month’s orders for Longevity Hall and instructed Li Shishi to temporarily stop accepting orders for advanced single medicines.
When Chu Feng returned from the Gate of Hell, he would find a suitable time to visit Longevity Hall and recruit a new batch of pill masters.
As long as he could recruit one or two Alchemy King level pill masters, Chu Feng’s life would be much easier.
The departure to the Gate of Hell came even faster than imagined.
"Junior Brother Chu, immediately gather at the sect’s bridgehead. We are ready to depart." The one who came to notify Chu Feng was none other than Elder Zi Xu.
Last time Chu Feng had crippled Qin Shan, and Elder Zi Xu did not blame him. This instead made Chu Feng feel somewhat guilty.
He had already made preparations, and since Han Shuang was still in closed-door cultivation, there was no need to tell her.
Better not to worry her.
Han Dong was also in closed-door cultivation, actively striving to reach the Sword Saint Realm.
Chu Feng had subsidized Han Dong with fifty thousand silver taels, allowing him to rent a Supreme Secret Room to attempt reaching the Sword Saint Realm, and he had also given Han Dong several excellent elixirs.
If with such favorable conditions Han Dong still failed to reach the Sword Saint Realm, Chu Feng could only be speechless.
Yan Qing was a Sword Slave serving by Chu Feng’s side, and for this trip to conquer treasures at the Gate of Hell, Chu Feng also brought him along. An extra helper could save one’s life at a critical moment.
When Chu Feng arrived at the bridgehead with Yan Qing, many elite members from the sect had already gathered.
Many people were familiar faces seen in the Chuan Gong Hall.
These were the top figures of the inner sect. Only a few were elite members of the outer sect, and they were either protectors or outer elders.
Raise soldiers for a thousand days, use them for a moment.
When something happens, it is possible to see the difference between inner and outer disciples.
Inner Sect disciples hardly have to do any tasks on normal days; they just need to focus on their cultivation. Similarly, when significant events affecting the rise and fall of the sect occur, it’s time for the inner disciples to contribute.
This time, competing for the Soul Refining Treasure Tree, all the participants were the elites of the sect.
There was not a single weakling.
