Translator: 549690339 |????????????? —
The crowd gradually began to boil over, a successor to the Alliance Hierarch had actually appeared!
The position of the Pill League’s Alliance Hierarch was to be chosen by the Pill Immortal Tower, a fact well-known to all, and many had entered the Pill Immortal Tower to try, but none had ever encountered the so-called purple token.
Years passed by, and the purple token had actually appeared!
Gu Sanqiu looked around, his figure floated up, and he placed his hand on Li Cheng s shoulder, “This is Li Cheng, the chosen successor of the Pill Immortal Tower for the position of the Alliance Hierarch, and the purple token has recognized him!”
With that, a purple token appeared above Gu Sanqiu’s head, and under its guidance, Li Cheng’s purple token also appeared above his head.
Instantly, countless gazes were firmly fixed on the purple token above Li Cheng’s head.
“From this moment forth, all who belong to the Pill League shall hold Li Cheng in the highest regard!”
Following the words of Gu Sanqiu, everyone in the venue bowed, expressing their deep respect.
Although Gu Sanqiu had not officially abdicated, with the purple token in his possession, Li Cheng would sooner or later take over the position of the Alliance Hierarch, naturally, no one dared to be disrespectful.
On the periphery, the members of the Wordless Sect widened their eyes in shock, the Sect Master murmured, “What a mistake, Ancestor Bai, you should have let Bai Xian take a billion disciples!”
If Bai Xian had taken a billion disciples, with Li Cheng’s identity as the Alliance Hierarch of the Pill League, the Wordless Sect would have quickly risen!
Bai Xian’s expression was complex, and he nodded slightly, but did not know how to begin speaking.
He had only seen Li Cheng use top-quality pills to pay for teleportation fees and, harboring a try-it-and-see attitude, had attempted to recruit Li Cheng; never expecting that, in the blink of an eye, he would become the future Alliance Hierarch of the Pill League.
“To become the Alliance Hierarch of the Pill League, one must possess alchemy skills that command respect, but how profound is the future Alliance Hierarch’s Alchemy Dao?”
At that moment, a discordant voice rang out.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a lean middle-aged man walking out from the Pill Immortal Tower, followed by a dozen people, all with formidable cultivation.
Gu Sanqiu shot a glance at the group, his face full of disdain, “The Alchemy Dao Conference is about to start, and Vice Alliance Leader Lin wants to know about Li Cheng’s Alchemy Dao proficiency, he will soon find out.”
Vice Alliance Leader Lin strode confidently over, sizing up Li Cheng, “With such cultivation, how proficient can your Alchemy Dao be? I am very skeptical about how you got your purple token, could it be a counterfeit?”
Li Cheng was actually not very interested in the Pill League, much less interested in becoming the Alliance Hierarch, but the words of Vice Alliance Leader Lin made him feel quite annoyed.
Just because my cultivation is not as high as yours, my Alchemy Dao proficiency can’t be higher than yours?
Before Li Cheng could speak, Gu Sanqiu snorted coldly, “Vice Alliance Leader Lin, are you questioning the Ancestor Master? The purple token formed by the Ancestor Master cannot be faked. Just because you didn’t get one, should others be forbidden from getting it?”
Of course, Lin would never doubt the Ancestor Master’s insight; what Lin means is…”
Gu Sanqiu interrupted Vice Alliance Leader Lin, “Enough, just shut up. You’re jumping out even before I have stepped down? If you’re so capable, why don’t you go to the Pill Immortal Tower and get yourself a purple token?”
Vice Alliance Leader Lin frowned, then regained his composure, not saying anything further, but the flash of coldness in his eyes was caught by Li Cheng.
Li Cheng observed Vice Alliance Leader Lin, kept silent, and followed Gu Sanqiu towards the conference site.
“It seems the Pill League is not harmonious internally,” Li Cheng said.
Gu Sanqiu looked at Li Cheng, “Any power involved with interests will have strife, doesn’t your Heavenly Mechanism Sect have it? Isn’t that perfectly normal?”
Li Cheng smiled, “The Heavenly Mechanism Sect really doesn’t, at least not among the higher-ups.”
Surprise flashed in Gu Sanqiu’s eyes, “That’s impossible, right? Without it, how can a sect make progress?”
Li Cheng shrugged his shoulders, “There’s none at the top level, but there are some below.”
Gu Sanqiu understood, “In that case, as long as the top echelon of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect doesn’t change, the future is promising!”
As the Pill League Alliance Hierarch, he was well aware of the importance of a power’s upper echelon, especially the importance of harmony among them.
If the top brass were united, then no matter how much the subordinates fought openly or covertly, the force would certainly develop rapidly.
“Let’s not talk about this; just focus on your alchemy later. Make sure to shut up those who are not convinced!” Gu Sanqiu said.
Li Cheng turned his head to glance at Bai Xian and the others following at a distance and said, “Do I represent myself when I perform alchemy? Can I represent the Wordless Sect?”
Gu Sanqiu smiled, “The Wordless Sect, I’ve heard of it. It seems the Wordless Sect has backed a strong ally. It’s up to you. Anyway, in the end, people will only know that you are the future Alliance Hierarch.”
Li Cheng nodded and gestured reassuringly to Bai Xian.
Bai Xian breathed a sigh of relief and led the group to a stop, “The grand event will be held in the Secret Land; we’ll go directly to the Secret Land.”
“It seems Guest Li intends to participate in the Alchemy Dao Conference as a Guest Elder. However, we don’t know how profound his Alchemy Dao is since we’ve never seen him perform alchemy,” said the Sect Master of the Wordless Sect.
Bai Xian took the lead towards the Secret Land, “As far as I know, the Pill League’s heritage is extremely ancient, and the Purple Token represents the recognition of the past Alliance Hierarchs. Given that, his Alchemy Dao must be exceptionally astonishing.”
As Bai Xian spoke, he felt a pain in his heart as if pricked by a needle. If only he had known, he wouldn’t have just tied Li Cheng down with the Guest Elder position; he should have thought of more ways.
Soon, Li Cheng followed Gu Sanqiu into the Secret Land, a place specially designated for the Alchemy Dao Conference. No matter where one was in the adverse world, they could use the Formation to project the competition, as if being there in person.
Li Cheng went straight to the competition area, which was divided into many alchemy zones, each shrouded by its independent Formation, undisturbed by others.
At this moment, already tens of thousands of competitors had chosen their alchemy zones and were sitting with their eyes closed, gathering their spirits in preparation.
Li Cheng was secretly astonished; after the revival of the Kunlun Realm, so many Alchemy Dao Immortal Masters had emerged? And most of them were from the Divine Palace Region. How many would there be in the entire Kunlun Realm?
After a while, Vice Alliance Leader Lin’s voice sounded, “After the Pill Immortal Tower’s selection, a total of 12,671 Alchemy Dao Immortal Masters meet the competition requirements, and now that everyone is here, let’s begin!” “For the first round, within four hours, concoct the Withered Green Immortal Pill. The number and quality of the pills will be scored, and materials can be taken from the central Immortal Palace!”
“Once the time is up, any remaining materials will result in a deduction of points. So, be prudent about how much material you take!”
After speaking, Vice Alliance Leader Lin waved his hand, and the doors of the Immortal Palace standing at the center opened.
The Withered Green Immortal Pill, being only a first-level Immortal Pill, is primarily used for healing. The materials for crafting this pill are not precious, but the process is intricate and the success rate low.
“With four hours, those fifth- or sixth-level Alchemy Dao Immortal Masters can concoct six or seven batches, and the quality won’t be low either. Naturally, they will score far more than the lower-level Alchemy Dao Immortal Masters. This isn’t fair!”
“Isn’t that quite normal? The Alchemy Dao Conference, of course, is about the powerful Pill Masters claiming the ranks. You can’t expect a first-level Alchemy Dao Immortal Master to claim a rank, right?”
Numerous people were watching, and discussions arose from all around.
Inside the Immortal Palace, there were materials for three hundred thousand Withered Green Immortal Pills stored, an undoubtedly grand gesture.
But since all the pills concocted during the Alchemy Dao Conference would belong to the Pill League, if these materials were all transformed into pills, the Pill League would make a huge profit.
After all, this was free labor.
