Blood Moon Sect, sect master's room

Ten people are currently inside the room, six of them are powerful cultivators from the Blood Moon Sect and the Lotus sect, while the other four are the disciples responsible for the trouble that happened to the sect.

One of those disciples is Shin Jiao and the others with him are the siblings, and the last one is the youth with a dark aura in his body.

On the Blood Moon sect master's table lays three pill bottles with 3 tribulation pills on each bottle.

The eyes of everyone are on those pills, as they knew that these were the reason for that powerful tribulation lightning that suddenly appears. But they also knew that with only one of these pills, the lightning tribulation which is able to destroy even the strongest array formed by multiple core disciple of the Blood Moon sect was stopped.

Hence they already knew that these things are priceless.

After some bout of silence, Shifu Xi suddenly relaxed his expression and rested his back on the back of the chair.

"These things are truly amazing… I can't believe that a mere gold core realm cultivator can create such a thing. This is fate… this is truly your fate." The old man said with a smile in his wizened face.

"Many powerful alchemists have tried crafting such a pill, but failed, and you young missy just accidentally crafted such a heaven-defying pill, if that is not fate or luck I don't know what you call it… Hahaha…"

"Yes, I never thought that you can do such a thing… Oh, we've been so entranced by these pills that we forgot to ask your names." The nun suddenly asked without a sense of superiority in her tone.

The two siblings and the young man beside them were a bit taken aback and immediately cupped their hands. Shin Jiao also followed suit but didn't show any surprise in his face.

"This outer sect disciple's name is Kishuang Lan, and this is my sister, Misha Lan." The young man said while introducing his sister who is still in a daze.

"This young one is called, Luji… Luji Lao." The young man with the dark aura also introduces himself.

"This outer sect disciple is called, Si Ji." Shin Jiao introduces naturally.

After the four disciples introduce themselves, every powerful cultivator in the room nodded their heads in satisfaction.

Being able to enter the sects in the mountainous area is not that simple. Hence every student in the sects is the cream of the crop and not that simple.

The weakest of them would even be considered as the most powerful genius in a city or even the empire. Hence the masters in the room are truly satisfied with these outer sect disciples.

"Well, we are here to ask the four of you on how this pill was created. Although we have a rough idea, we still need to know right from the mouth of those who are near that area." Do Bo Jing said with a smile.

Upon hearing the words from the sect master, Misha Lan immediately broke out cold sweats on her forehead. She was really taken aback and felt afraid to say anything. Hence her brother on the side just shook his head and bowed.

"This disciple is standing beside my sister when she concocted the pill. So I was able to see everything she did… She first…" Kishuang Lan began to explain the things that his sister did and also list out the ingredients she picks and put inside the alchemy pot.

After hearing the explanation, the man beside the nun had an astonished expression on his face. As an alchemist himself, how could he not know what this young disciple is making? However, she seems to have mistaken the herbs she used, that's the reason why the alchemy pot was about to explode.

But what baffled him is what the young man called Si Ji did next. This is because they didn't know what kind of herb did her mixed.

Hence everyone's gaze now went towards Shin Jiao who showed a sheepish smile on his face.

However, he still needs to explain what he did. Hence he has no choice but to tell them. But of course, he would not share the rest.

Inside his ring, there is a weird stone that emits a weird kind of energy. Shin Jiao was able to control that energy from going out using an array. He was able to get a large amount of those stones through sheer luck.

What he used at that time is a combination of a crushed piece of a Mind Stone and a herb which is filled with soul energy.

After combining those two, he used them as a catalyst to control the raging concoction. His goal at that time was to just control the concoction from blowing up. How could he know that a heaven rank pill would appear?

After hearing the explanation from the three students, the elders dismissed them and promised to compensate each of them with a large number of contribution points and spirit stones. Although the young man named Luji Lao was not involved in the process, since he already knew too much, they just rewarded him.

This made him truly happy and thankful.

The supposed tragedy that was about to happen to him turns into a blessing. So how could he not feel elated?

The powerful masters dismissed the three students while they asked Shin Jiao to stay. This made him feels worried and immediately raised his guards up.

When Shifu Xi saw the seemingly relaxed expression of Shin Jiao he showed a smile on his face. He knew that the young man is guarded but he didn't intend to offend such a disciple.

"There are no strangers in here… so you can relax." Suddenly the Blood Moon Sect head said with a smile.

This time, the rest of the people walked towards the sofa and took their seats.

"Young man… come here and take a seat, please…"

They invited him with a relaxed expression on their faces.

Each and everyone in this room are an old monster, and that, Shin Jiao knows. So he didn't dare make any moves that would endanger himself.

"Don't worry, we are all aware of your secret. We know that you already have a nascent realm physique. That's the reason why we ask you not to be so formal… you are very young and promising, how can we, your elders, neglect such a talent." Shifu Xi said with a calm smile on his face.

However, the vice sect leader of the Lotus sect, Dhaling Khang, and the one who was intrusted to represent the celestial gate at that time, Hong Kiong, showed a surprised look on their faces.

The rest showed a mocking look at their expression while looking at the two. How could they not detect that slight thin aura in the young man's skin? If they could have watched closely they could have discovered it immediately.

But they could not blame the two as they too didn't discover this until a while ago.

"Young man, it seems that you have entered the Blood Moon Sect for a purpose. May I know what it is? If I can, I promise to help you. This is my thanks for allowing this old man to see such a wondrous spectacle." Do Bo Jing said with a smile.

The two have already discussed something about him showing the Blood Moon sect secret arts and the condition they had before. But now everything is different. Hence he wanted to at least thank the young man sincerely this time.

Shin Jiao was a bit taken aback, but he knew that searching for Susan Tang will not be possible if he does it alone. It would already be too late before he knew it. Hence he gritted his teeth and look at the powerful being around him.

"Sigh… I am actually searching for someone… someone that is dear to me. She was taken by a person with a dark aura. Just like the one in this cloth." Shin Jiao said as he takes out a piece of cloth and put it at the top of the table.

He didn't want to but he also could not let the opportunity go. If he can solicit the help of these old monsters then he might as well take the gamble.

However, what happened next made him feel a bit confused.

Gasp!!!

After he laid the piece of cloth on the table, everyone gasped in disbelief.

"How… how could this be? This aura… this is impossible! The high council has already killed that… that demon, right?"

"Yeah, I was there when that bloody battle happened. I saw the great immortal killed that demon. How could this be possible?"

"Maybe this is just a remnant of his aura and nothing else… we should not jump into conclusions."

The people began to discuss back and forth upon seeing noticing the aura in that piece of cloth.

Then their eyes turn towards Shin Jiao.

"Disciple Si Ji, where did you get this cloth?"

"I found it while searching. This cloth belongs to her… however, this aura does not."

"Why did you say so?"

"Because she is not a cultivator. She is a mage."

Upon hearing him, the room suddenly became quiet. Then Shifu Xi turns his eyes on Shin Jiao. But when their eyes met, Shin Jiao's heart skipped a beat. This is because the old man is now looking at him with a pitying gaze.

"Sigh… this aura belongs to a very powerful and ruthless cultivator that practices the dark arts. A few hundred years ago, he appears in the cultivation land. His goal is to subjugate all of the cultivators under his foot and tried to rule this land. The battle was fought in secret and many powerful cultivators died. Until the only saint immortal at that time sacrificed himself, just to kill that person… we knew this because we were there at that time. And my master died in that battle." Shifu Xi said with sad and melancholy eyes.

"I would advise you to stop searching… as it would only lead to your death. But if you still want to, go to the Dark Omen valley… you will find your answers there."

When everyone heard the old man's words, shock can be seen in their eyes.. How could he tell that youth to go to that place? Does he want to kill that young man? Is what everyone is thinking.
