Chapter 172: The Future Third-Stage Pill Master, The Bait Plan of Ghost Demon Sect_l
Translator: 549690339 |
Afterwards, Zhou Sui stayed at Pill Medicine Peak, exchanging alchemy knowledge with Ma Qianjun.
It had to be said, the opponent indeed deserved to be a second-stage top-tier
Pill Master.
Although his theoretical knowledge was vast, in terms of practical experience, he was still not on par with such an experienced Pill Master.
The exchange benefited him greatly, and he felt his own alchemy knowledge had increased considerably.
Of course, in contrast, Ma Qianjun was even more astounded, utterly dumbfounded.
He felt this young man was too extravagant.
Even though he was just a Loose Cultivator, his theoretical knowledge was so rich, it surpassed his own by many times.
It was as if he had a complete alchemy heritage, and had cultivated for hundreds of years.
When exchanging thoughts with this young man, he felt the other party was like an insurmountable Alchemy Grandmaster.
No matter what he asked, the other party could fluidly answer, resolving each issue effortlessly.
In the end, he was just the one posing questions and then receiving answers.
It made him feel as if he was a mere alchemy apprentice.
“Peak Master, is this kid really a Loose Cultivator?”
“How come his theoretical knowledge is so solid, where exactly did he learn from?”
After Zhou Sui left, an elder from the Pill Medicine Peak, who was also present during this alchemy exchange, was truly shocked, dumbfounded.
Initially, he had little regard for Zhou Sui, thinking that this mere Loose Cultivator with a wild upbringing, would not be competent.
However, after a few conversations, he understood that he was deeply mistaken.
The other party’s knowledge was much more extensive than he had imagined.
He was just like an alchemy grandmaster who had studied for hundreds of years, mastering various types of knowledge thoroughly.
It made him feel slightly ashamed.
Of course, he did not know that all of this was due to the merit of the Book
Worm.
The Heritage Jade Records of alchemy from the Immortal Mist Sect were basically all consumed by the Book Worm.
The related knowledge just needed to be summoned by Zhou Sui’s thoughts, naturally making his theoretical knowledge very extensive.
This simply couldn’t be compared to these alchemists.
“We can only say that this kid definitely has an alchemy heritage, and it might not be worse than our Pill Medicine Peak.”
“No wonder the Sect Master esteemed this kid, this fellow is not just a man of empty words.”
“Given time, he may really become a third-stage alchemist.”
The Pill Medicine Peak Master, Ma Qianjun, remarked.
After an exchange, he was thoroughly impressed with Zhou Sui.
After all, for alchemists, one was either competent or not.
They were practically technical talent.
They didn’t usually play tricks, generally being straightforward.
If the other party truly had the ability, they would not only not be unhappy but would even acknowledge and approve.
“A third-stage alchemist?!”
Upon hearing this, many elders of the Pill Medicine Peak were taken aback.
They hadn’t expected Peak Master Ma Qianjun to rate this kid so highly.
You must know that currently in the entire Immortal Mist Sect, there was not a single third-stage alchemist.
Only the Danding Faction had a third-stage alchemist, which gave Danding Faction a very special status.
If this kid could actually become a third-stage alchemist, then even if this kid was not the Sect Master’s Dao partner, his position in the Immortal Mist Sect would become crucial and would be recognized by numerous cultivators.
After all, for such technical talents, who’s to say that they won’t need their help in the future?
Anyone who wishes to increase their cultivation and break through their limitations will need the assistance of pills.
At such times, the presence of an alchemist becomes particularly important.
“Alright, don’t gather here anymore.”
“Publish this kid’s task. Let the disciples help him find the Airless Grass.”
Ma Qianjun said.
“Yes, Peak Master.”
The elders of Pill Medicine Peak all nodded their heads.
They weren’t originally very concerned about this matter, after all, it was just a pretty boy.
Although they could give him face in public, after all, he was the Sect Master’s companion, it wasn’t necessarily the same in private.
Even when dealing with task, they didn’t necessarily need to give it their all, dragging their feet could also be an option.
But now it was different. If Zhou Sui was to become a third stage alchemist in the future, then it would be of great benefit to every one of them, they might even get to witness the refining of a third stage pill within the Immortal Mist Sect.
There are no secrets in this world.
The news of Zhou Sui wanting to acquire Airless Grass quickly spread, even the spies of the Ghost Demon Sect got a whiff of it.
The news was promptly reported back to the Ghost Demon Sect.
After all, this matter had a significant connection to Zhou Sui, making it a top priority event.
“What? This kid actually has a chance to become a third stage Alchemist? And this is even evaluated by Ma Qianjun?”
Upon hearing this, some elders of the Ghost Demon Sect were also taken aback. They did not expect this pretty boy’s alchemy talents to be so high, potentially becoming a third stage alchemist in the future; this was indeed unbelievable.
After all, a third stage alchemist holds a status comparable to a Golden Core
Master.
They hold a significant status across the entire Immortal Mist Island.
The influence of a third stage alchemist is remarkable.
“Indeed, this fellow is not as simple as a pretty boy; he actually has such potential.”
“Think thoroughly, and you’ll know. Leng Yuexi, being the youngest Golden Core Master, is very promising, extremely smart, how could she be so shallow? Based on her strength, there’s no handsome man she can’t have.”
“Indeed, maybe she knew about this pretty boy’s alchemy talent, so she brought him back to the Immortal Mist Sect and had him become an Elder of Alchemy within the sect.”
“Leng Yuexi is truly cunning, absolutely shameless, treating her benefactor like this. She forced herself on him despite knowing that he saved her life. The most hateful thing is, she not only took away someone else’s man in front of their wives, but also brought those wives to the Immortal Mist Sect. Really has no shame. I heard that those wives cry everyday in the mountains, weeping till their faces are full of tears.”
“Isn’t it? If I had known earlier that these so-called righteous sects were all debauched, I would have realized that our Demonic Sects are far better, daring to love and hate.”
“In that case, this man deserves to die even more. We must not let the Immortal Mist Sect produce a third stage alchemist. Otherwise, wouldn’t the Immortal Mist Sect be able to nurture a large number of Foundation Establishment elders, or even Golden Core Masters in the future.”
“But elder, we have been trying to lure this boy out of the Immortal Mist Sect these past few days. The problem is, he stays within the Immortal Mist Peak all the time, we never get to approach him.”
“Right, this boy is always frolicking with his wives on the Immortal Mist Peak all day, has no interest in going down the mountain. Likely he’s being sucked dry by that old woman Leng Yuexi, sooner or later.”
“Isn’t there a good opportunity now? This boy is looking for Airless Grass, our Sect’s treasury contains a stalk of Airless Grass. We can use this spiritual medicine to lure him out.”
“Really? Isn’t that too generous to this boy? The Airless Grass is quite valuable.” “Foolish, it’s just bait. We aren’t actually giving him the grass. This time we have to see his death, and we cannot lose the spiritual medicine either.”
“Yes, elder.”
Many cultivators of the Ghost Demon Sect were discussing among themselves. With some quick words, they quickly formulated a plan to assassinate Zhou Sui, planning to use the Airless Grass to lure Zhou Sui out of the Immortal Mist Sect and assassinate him outside..
