Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1544: Chapter 572: Tian Xuan Overcome, Signs of Nascent Soul Formation_3

As she was filled with anticipation, little did she know that someone was secretly watching her.

In a secluded mountain path, five people sat in a circle, staring at the water mirror in front of them.

Hidden by the array, not a trace of the five people’s breath leaked out.

Yet, the fact that they all were at the Golden Core Period was well known to each other.

One of them looked down at the mirror and said, ”This woman does have some skill, quickly dispersing the Demon Crab Materials and garnering a large profit, causing us to suffer a loss in the shadows!”

Another person chimed in, ”That’s right, if our Qian Family hadn’t been rejected by Refining Sharpedge when we tried to sell them the batch of Demon Crab Materials, we wouldn’t have known that this woman had hoarded so much of the same type of material.”

It’s just a batch of Demon Crab Materials, after all, which isn’t a big deal for any family.

Selling it, one can always make a profit.

But Tian Xuan managed to sell the materials of thousands of Demon Crab corpses in just half a month, and this caused supply to exceed demand.

Although Coldlight Island is large, there will be problems if they try to absorb so many materials at once.

Not to mention that the prices of the raw materials will be driven down; even the magic tools and treasures crafted by the tool casting forces using Demon Crab Materials will end up looking quite similar.

As a result, the finished product price will necessarily not be high either.

Therefore, the raw material prices will be further pressured by them.

Luckily, the stores in Feileng City that purchase Demon Crab Materials are backed by large forces that are generally well-acquainted with each other.

Even if there are feuds, consensus can still be reached for the sake of interests.

Thus, three families got together and pooled together five Golden Core Cultivators, wishing to recoup their losses.

As for how to recoup these losses?

That’s simple!

”Later, as soon as this woman enters the range of the array, the five of us will strike simultaneously, and with the swiftness of thunder, not giving her time to cover her ears, we will kill her,” one said.

”Afterward, her Spirit Stones will be divided equally among our three families.”

”The rest of the valuables will be picked first by our Qian Family, you have no objection to that, right?”

Among the five, aside from another Qian Family Cultivator, the remaining three nodded their heads.

After that, they began discussing the details of their next move.

Five people acting together will inevitably make a big stir, but with the array to hide them, the city’s Cultivators will not be able to respond in the short term.

The most important thing is not to let Tian Xuan, in her dying counterattack, destroy the Storage Bag.

Concerning this issue, the Qian Family, who offered the most effort, also had a response prepared: they’d specially prepared a Precious Item that could briefly sever the mental connection between a Cultivator and their Storage Bag.

Although it’s only for a split second, it’s enough for the five people to strike Tian Xuan down with thunderous force!

”She’s coming!”

”Get ready!”

Just as they were prepared and about to make their move.

Suddenly, a special oppressive force enveloped the area covered by the Big Formation.

Especially where the five of them were situated, it was as if they were cut off from the world and trapped in a separate space.

They couldn’t even mobilize the Spirit Qi inside their bodies, let alone sense the Heaven and Earth Qi from the outside world.

Shocked to their core, they could only watch helplessly as the Female Cultivator in the water mirror drifted away.

After the Female Cultivator left.

That special oppressive force suddenly dissipated.

Only a cold snort reached the ears of the five.

”Business is not done in this way by you folks, get back to where you came from!”

The five looked at each other with shock in their eyes.

After a moment, a Cultivator from the Qian Family trembled and said, ”Seems like it was Elder Fu?”

Chao Sheng, the person in charge of the Tianyuan Business Alliance in the North Sea and one of the Four Great Elders.

Moreover, his Cultivation Level is that of the Nascent Soul Realm.

In his ordinary travels, everyone has to give him face.

Even some of the famous Late Stage Nascent Soul old monsters from the North Sea have to treat him with respect.

Not for any other reason, but because he also represents the Central Continent Heaven Dao Sect!

They didn’t know why Chao Sheng was protecting Tian Xuan, but regardless, this operation was now impossible to carry out.

Moreover, after returning, they would have to prepare gifts and personally visit, asking for forgiveness and hoping that the Lord wouldn’t hold grudges against the powerless.

Without any further hesitation, the five picked up their things and scurried back dejectedly.

...

On the ground, a plump man looked up at the sky at the escaping Glint, murmuring to himself.

”With only the strength of a single demon, it would be impossible to gather so many Third Order Demon Crab Materials; this woman must have a powerful backer.”

”Especially since she didn’t dare to use the Spirit Stones she had on hand when facing a Magic Tool immensely suited to her, signalling she is just a subordinate carrying out tasks.”

”To have a Third Order Demon Beast, and a transformed Demon Cultivator at that, running errands for her, the person behind the scenes must either be of high Realm or have a considerable background.”

”At this critical moment of change, this matter also concerns the schemes of my Daoist Sect and cannot tolerate any unforeseen complications.”

”I would like to see which Friend has stealthily visited Feileng and not shown their face.”

As he muttered, his steps were slow yet swift, trailing behind the Blue Escape Light from afar.

Before long.

His steps halted just outside a valley.

Looking at the mist shrouded, heavily guarded valley, Chao Sheng frowned slightly.

”A Third-Order Formation, with Nascent Soul Qi spreading throughout, my guess was not wrong, it truly is a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator.”

”However, this Qi is utterly unfamiliar; I have never encountered it before.”

”In that case, I need to take a look and get some understanding first.”

He stepped forward, about to enter the valley, but just as he lifted his foot, his expression suddenly changed drastically.

Within the valley, there was a sudden tumult!

An aura soared into the sky!

A Gathering of Dragon and Tiger took place, with clouds enveloping, and large amounts of Spirit Qi were extracted from the Earth Vein.

Not only that, but the loose Heaven and Earth Qi in the surroundings also began congregating toward the valley.

In the sky above, there were even flickers of silver light.

Recognizing this familiar scene, Chao Sheng blurted out.

”Signs of Nascent Soul Formation!”
