[Congratulations to the Ascender for triggering a special hidden mission [Creating a Heaven's Chosen One]. Please pick three rewards from the following list] .Leo was pleasantly surprised to hear the announcements from Heaven's Voice.
He was not expecting to trigger a mission, not to mention triggering a Special Hidden Mission.
'Since it is related to Heaven's Chosen One, I am expecting the rewards would be quite valuable.'
With that thought in mind, Leo hurriedly checked the items on the list and was shocked by the items on the list.
….
1) High-level Golden Core Pill x 1.
2) Mid-level Moon Stones x 100.
3) Mid-level Spirit Stones x 10000.
4) A Random Grade Sect Creation Token.
5) High-level Foundation Establishment Pills x 100.
…
'Since I am getting 10 mid-level Golden Core Pills, I don't need another High-level Golden Core Pill…at least for now.'
A high-level Golden Core Pill that was merged by him would be more valuable than a high-level Golden Core Pill. So, he eliminated it from the list.
Even though Leo could use this High-level Golden Core Pill to help his loyal follower, Gallant, Leo didn't want to miss other generous rewards.
With his title as the Guest Elder, it would be a matter of time before Leo could get his hands on the pill recipe of the Golden Core Pills. Even if it didn't happen, Leo could just exchange his future contribution points in the sect for more mid-level Golden Core Pills and merge them into High-level Golden Core Pills before giving them to his loyal followers Gallant and the other three elders.
'The second reward is 100 mid-level Moon Stones and even though I am getting 100 from the Lunar Sect, I need as many mid-level Moon Stones as possible.'
When it comes to moonstones, Leo needs them because he can upgrade his talent and even use them to hatch or evolve the moon beasts in this world.
Hence, it was a resource that Leo was willing to collect as much as possible.
'Foundation Establishment Pills….if it was before, I would have taken them; however, I have enough top-level Foundation Establishment Pills for my disciples and with my current identity, I can get the ingredients from the sect which I can use to refine and for every batch, I can keep 30 pills aside.'
The reason why Leo wanted to become the guest elder of the Lunar Sect was to get the free pills.
With his alchemy skills, Leo could refine 20 mid-level and 20 high-level rank 1 and rank 2 pills. So, Leo planned to use the ingredients provided by the sect to refine the pills and give them 10 pills whereas he would take the remaining 30 pills.
Not only would he get those 30 pills for free, but Leo would also be rewarded with contribution points for the 10 pills he gives the sect for every refinement.
'Finally, it leaves me with 10000 mid-level spirit stones and a Sect Creation Token.'
Leo looked at the third and fourth rewards on the list and thought, 'I can merge the mid-level spirit stones into high-level spirit stones and since I will be breaking through to the Golden Core Realm, I need as many merged High-level Spirit Stones as possible to increase my cultivation as much as possible.'
'As for the Sect Creation Token…it is an interesting item and with it, I can officially establish my sect….however, it would be too-eye catching at the moment.'
A Sect Creation Token was an item that was blessed by either the Heavens or the world god. No matter who blessed it, they have the same effects and no differences at all.
At least, that's what his predecessor believed and Leo knew about the item because it was in the memories of his predecessor.
Leo hesitated a little regarding the item; however, he had thought of something, 'If I can establish my sect, I might be able to trigger some hidden missions.'
All powerful sects in this world were created using the Sect Creation Token and it was the same for the Lunar Sect.
Even though there were thousands of Grade 9 sects and hundreds of Grade 8 sects in this country, there is only the Lunar Sect that was created by the Sect Creation Token.
Of course, there might be some other sects that were created by the Sect Creation Tokens and might be increasing their strength in secrecy; however, Leo didn't have any clue about it because once the Lunar Sect knows about it, they would either merge the sect into them or destroy it without any hesitation.
Also, finding a Sect Creation Token in this world could be considered an opportunity but at the same time, a disaster.
However, many cultivators in this world were willing to risk it because being a sect leader of the sect created by the Sect Creation Token has its own benefits.
'Let's take it and use it when I become a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator.'
After thinking for a moment, Leo decided to take the Sect Creation Token because, after today, he might not find it in the future.
As for using it, Leo didn't plan to use it anytime soon and decided to use it only after becoming a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator.
Even though the Nascent Soul Realm Cultivation was not enough to go against the Lunar Sect, by then, Leo would have many trump cards under his sleeve to go against the Sect.
Anyway, Leo decided to create his sect depending on the situation at that time.
Moreover, Leo had the map to the Grade 7 Spirit Vein and after seeing the sect creation token, Leo decided not to trade the map with the Lunar Sect.
Instead, he planned to use that Grade 7 Spirit Vein to create his sect on it.
'I want the rewards [2], [3] and [4].'
Once Leo decided about the rewards, he informed the [Heaven's Voice] regarding the items.
[The selected items will be stored in the Ascender's Storage Ring]
Soon, Leo sensed some new items magically appear in his storage ring.
'Once everyone leaves, I will sort out all the items.'
The Sect Leader and the elders were still talking with Novan as he decided to check the items after everyone left.
Also, Leo had yet to use his merging slots today.
When everyone leaves the courtyard, Leo decides to merge the items he gained now along with the items he planned to merge.
Time continued to pass and after 10 minutes, the Sect Leader said, "Novan, let's go to your new cultivation abode."
"As for you, since you have a Sect to take care of, the sect won't give you any permanent cultivation abode in the sect despite being a Guest Alchemist." Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ N0vᴇlFire(.)nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.
Looking at Leo, the Sect Leader continued, "However, discuss all things regarding the type of the pills, the duration of sending the pills to the sect and the payment details…everything with the First Elder and leave tomorrow after participating in the celebrations of the sect tonight."
After saying that, the Sect Leader took Novan with him and asked the First Elder to take care of Leo…at least for the sake of Novan.
After the sect leader and Novan left, one after another elders silently left the guest courtyard, leaving the First Elder and Leo.
"There are hundreds of rank 1 alchemists among the disciples. So, I suggest the Guest Alchemist focus only on the Rank 2 pills."
As everyone left, the First Elder started talking with Leo.
"Of course, I will be refining only rank 2 pills so that I can accumulate more contribution points compared to refining the rank 1 pills."
Leo didn't have any plans to refine the rank 1 pills….at least not for the sect.
"Which rank 2 pills can you refine with the highest success rate?"
The First Elder nodded and asked for the rank 2 pill names.
"Barrier Breaking Pills, Spiritual Essence Pills, and….Foundation Establishment Pills."
When Leo said that Foundation Establishment Pills, he sounded a little hesitant, making the First Elder raise his brows.
"The reason why I was able to refine all these pills was because I was enlightened into the Alchemy a few years back and that's how I was able to nurture a disciple like Novan."
Leo had already thought of what he had to say when he mentioned the Foundation Establishment Pills. freew ebnovel.coince the Foundation Establishment Pill recipe was only known to the Lunar Sect and only the alchemists that were connected to the sect could refine the pills, Leo could only use the Enlightenment in the Alchemy.
Even though it sounded a little unbelievable, Leo decided to say, "It was only a minor one that lasted for a few minutes and I was able to become a low-level rank 2 alchemist to a high-level rank 2 alchemist after that."
"What? You got enlightenment into Alchemy?"
The First Elder was shocked when he heard Leo's words; however, when he heard that it was a minor one, the First Elder's shock decreased a little.
"Your luck is quite huge to be able to get the pill recipe for the Foundation Establishment Realm."
It was not a secret that whenever someone got enlightened into the way of alchemy, they would get the pill recipes in their head and thus, the first elder considered that Leo was quite lucky to get the most special rank 2 pills.
If Leo's age was within 100 years, the Lunar Sect would have taken him as an Inner Disciple and nurtured him accordingly.
However, it was a pity that he was more than 500 years old and not worth nurturing but they could use him to refine as many pills as possible.
