Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 816: Chapter 336: Is the Sect True Disciple Just So-So?_2

Compared to ordinary people, it’s the outcome that matters differently to them.

Above the Heaven Palace.

A group of Golden Core Ascendant Masters watched the fierce battle below, their brows involuntarily knitting together.

“This level of attack intensity shouldn’t appear in a Foundation Establishment Stage battle.”

The speaker was the Sect Leader of Qingdan Valley, Qing Yunzi!

Among them, his status was the highest, but he had achieved the Golden Core Realm in the shortest time.

The eldest Golden Core from Ailao Mountain sneered coldly.

“Isn’t it because magical weapons and treasures are in excess?”

“These roughly made Lower Grade Magic Items may not last long, but their instant burst of power is practically a touch that wounds and a hit that kills for Foundation Establishment True Cultivators with lower defensive capabilities.”

“A few hundred years back, magic items certainly weren’t as common as this.”

“The heart of Tian Fan City…”

Qing Yunzi’s expression changed slightly, “Yuan Senior Brother, be cautious with your words!”

The Yuan surnamed Golden Core from Ailao Mountain huffed coldly, saying no more.

This topic seemed to be taboo.

The others exchanged glances, daring not continue the conversation.

Only the Golden Core Ascendant Master from Hundred Flowers Palace, Master of Food Fragrance, laughed seductively.

“Since you all are aware of Tian Fan City’s wild ambitions, why bother aiding tyranny?”

While speaking, her gaze occasionally surveyed the faces of the Golden Core cultivators from Ice Castle and Qingdan Valley.

Jueqing Fairy kept silent, her expression as cold and unmelted as Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice.

Qing Yunzi opened his mouth but ended up giving a bitter smile.

“It’s beyond my control!”

“Master of Food Fragrance, better to focus on the battle of the geniuses of our Sect!”

Master of Food Fragrance curled her lip, “What’s there to see? That Rogue Cultivator junior is clearly holding back, not using his full strength. Tell me, have your Qingdan Valley cultivators been too busy with Pill Refinement to take a hit?”

Qing Yunzi frowned, “What do you mean? Dan Yangzi is also not exerting his full strength, yet isn’t he still prevailing?”

“It’s just a sparring match on the stage; if it were a fight to the death, it’s still uncertain who the deer would fall to!” stated Master of Food Fragrance.

“The fight is meant to stop at the touch, how could it turn into a fight to the death?” Qing Yunzi shook his head, “That would defeat the true purpose of the competition.”

Master of Food Fragrance smiled lightly, showing no interest in paying attention.

Such a level of battle truly couldn’t pique her interest.

…

The battle below eventually came to an end.

After a give and take for a hundred rounds.

Chu Kui, appearing somewhat disheveled after taking Dan Yangzi’s sword strike head-on, quickly retreated.

“Brother Dao, please stop, I admit defeat!”

Dan Yangzi looked at him, his sword resonating as if reluctant.

“Chu Kui, right? I’ll remember your name!”

After saying this, he flew back to the high platform.

He hurriedly meditated to regulate his breath, not even sparing time to study the Pill Formulas.

Quite clearly.

This was only the beginning!

Chu Kui smiled wryly, immediately exiting the Array and returning to the second-high platform.

Just as he landed.

The dissatisfied voice of He Yuanqing transmitted over.

“You clearly still had strength to spare, so why concede so easily?”

Chu Kui spread his hands innocently, “Boss, you wouldn’t really want me to kill him on the stage, would you? I’m afraid of being struck down by an angry palm lightning from one of your Sect’s Golden Core Ascendant Masters!”

“Tch, as if you could do that,” He Yuanqing scoffed with a chuckle.

Chu Kui shrugged, “Well, I’m not capable of that, why bother striking with intent to kill? Besides, the energy you asked me to drain, I’ve done that fairly well, haven’t I?”

He Yuanqing nodded.

But he still felt something was amiss.

The other party seemed to be holding back!

Seemingly detecting his employer’s displeasure, Chu Kui’s face grew serious as he solemnly said:

“Of course, if you want me to fight with my life on the line, that’s not impossible.”

“You get what you pay for!”

“I can still make moves against the seven Great True Disciples down there, as long as you ensure no repercussions afterward and add a little extra to my payment, I will definitely satisfy you!”

He Yuanqing was taken aback.

He asked subconsciously what else the other party wanted as payment.

However, the asking price made his face darken.

“You’re asking for too much, who asks for such an outrageous price?”

Chu Kui shook his head, “Aren’t they all your dearly beloved Senior Brothers? Don’t they justify the price?”

Seeing He Yuanqing’s expression grow even more sullen, Chu Kui put away his serious demeanor and rubbed his hands.

“Don’t be so rigid, just give me a proper price and I’ll consider it!”

He Yuanqing’s mouth gaped open in disbelief.

In his life, he had never seen such a shameless cultivator.

Already a retainer of the He Family, even if temporarily, one should exert themselves, right?

How could he ask for a price increase on the spot for full effort?

…

Leaving aside the conversation on the He Family’s high platform.

The recent battle had already caused a huge commotion among the Qingdan Valley Disciples.

Even though Senior Brother Dan Yangzi had won.

Chu Kui’s methods were clearly not fully deployed.

Are the Rogue Cultivators out there all this powerful now?

Ordinary Disciples were all abuzz with discussion, not to mention the other seven Great True Disciples.

For instance, on the high platform of the Tao Family, Tao Wen also wore a grave look on her face.

Unable to personally intervene, the possibility of her three subordinates facing off directly against Chu Kui seemed uncertain.

According to the rules.

Each Great True Disciple could command three of their subordinates to challenge each battle platform once.

Finally, based on the number of wins and losses and their relationships with each other, an overall ranking would be determined.

Although complicated in computation.

It was nothing to cultivators.

Observing Tao Wen’s serious expression, the elderly voice of Tao Daonan timely rose.

“No need to worry.”
