Chapter 25: Chapter 25 The Brick with a Story i

Mu Xingzhi was speechless for a moment, whenever the mention of the little uncle alchemizing was made, the Seventh Elder would run faster than anyone else.

“Let's go as well!”

Mu Xingzhi's True Yuan surged, lifting Ling Xi and chasing after Li Cheng.

Ling Xi, only at the Foundation Establishment Stage of cultivation, couldn't achieve flight without the aid of external items.

As they landed in the plaza at the foot of Seventh Peak, the Pill Sect disciples couldn't wait to greet them, bowing respectfully, “We've seen Elder Li!”

Li Cheng surveyed the fully seated stands, the onlookers even more numerous than the last time he competed with the Seventh Elder.

In each of their eyes swirled intense anticipation, their faces beaming with pride.

Even the highest ranks of the Pill Sect had tried every means to find an opportunity to observe the Eighteenth Elder perform alchemy, so as disciples of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, they were naturally proud!

Withdrawing his gaze, Li Cheng nodded slightly towards the Pill Sect disciples, as a return greeting.

Shentu Feng offered a storage ring with the utmost respect, “Elder Li, all the materials are inside.”

Li Cheng accepted the storage ring without hurry to check inside. Instead, he looked towards the Seventh Elder, “We'll skip the rest of the Divine Pill materials, let's start from the Fusion Dao Pill.”

Those who originally thought Li Cheng would directly concoct the Tribulation Crossing Pill and the Responding to Calamity Pill, were overjoyed, starting from the Fusion Dao Pill meant that afterwards, he would concoct the Unifying Pill, the Tribulation Crossing Pill, and the Responding to Calamity Pill!

What an excellent chance to observe!

The Pill Sect disciples were equally delighted, not expecting the additional bonus!

They just did not know if Li Cheng could once again concoct the Emperor Grade pills.

But regardless, the Pill Sect disciples knew they had a great chance to delve into the secrets of the Emperor Grade pills!

Shentu Feng, suppressing his excitement and stabilizing his mind, offered his respects with a smile, “Thank you, Elder Li, for giving us this opportunity to observe!”

“No need to be polite,” Li Cheng responded offhandedly.

Allowing you to observe, but you can't learn anything, does it matter to me?

Receiving what was essentially a polite response from Li Cheng, Shentu Feng was delighted and quickly took out a shining gold token, presenting it with both hands, “Elder Li, please accept this token!”

Li Cheng glanced at the token, one side engraved with the character 'Order', the other depicting a round pill.

Before Li Cheng could speak, Mu Xingzhi and the others had already shown a subtle change of expression, and Mu Xingzhi quickly said, “Sect Leader Shentu, you should keep this token!”

“What is the meaning of this?” Li Cheng looked towards Shentu Feng.

Not knowing the significance of the token, Li Cheng naturally wouldn't take it lightly.

“Hehe, this is our Pill Sect's Honorary Elder Token. The bearer has the privilege to freely enter the treasure vault and select Spirit Medicine, and also receives a generous amount of Spirit Stones annually,” Shentu Feng explained.

Combining this with the reaction of people like Mu Xingzhi, Li Cheng knew Shentu Feng's explanation was avoiding the full truth.

“You wish to make me your Honorary Elder?” Li Cheng's expression was calm, lending an air of mystery to the observers from the Pill Sect.

Shentu Feng nodded earnestly, bending forward, “1 hope Elder Li will deign to accept. The position of Honorary Elder is second only to the Sect Master, and as it's free from day-to-day sect affairs, it will surely not delay your cultivation practices.”

Digging at the wall in front of so many Heavenly Mechanism Sect higher-ups?

Although it was a nominal position, its status was much higher than that of a regular Elder.

Mu Xingzhi and the others were angry in their hearts, this action of the Pill Sect was tantamount to insulting the Heavenly Mechanism Sect!

But at the same time, they were also proud, see, the mighty Pill Sect was still humbled by an Elder of our Heavenly Mechanism Sect, right?

Such a contradiction!

“See? How awesome is your mentor? Even the Pill Sect is eagerly digging at the wall,” the Seventh Elder transmitted his voice to Ling Xi, who was beside him.

Worship shone in Ling Xi's eyes as she nodded fervently.

She dared not transmit her voice back, well aware that with her level of cultivation, in front of these profoundly cultivated seniors, transmitting voice was no different from speaking out loud.

Mu Xingzhi and the others were conflicted, wondering whether to advise Li Cheng.

After all, becoming an Honorary Elder of the Pill Sect would also benefit the Heavenly Mechanism Sect. Holding positions in two sects could not only promote more cooperation but also mediate some conflicts.

They were indeed worried that if they really agreed, Mu Xingzhi and the others would be concerned that the young grand-uncle would be firmly grasped by the Pill Sect.

“Sect Leader Shentu's kind offer is appreciated, but unfortunately, I'm not interested,” Li Cheng replied, shaking his head slightly.

Shentu Feng stood there, dumbfounded. This was the grand gift he had prepared!

Rejected with just a 'not interested'?

Not to mention the highly revered status of an honorary elder, but just the ability to enter the treasure vault at will, countless strong figures in the world would desire this token!

Is there a gift heavier than this?

Several meters away, Ning Qianqiu let out a long sigh of relief and looked at Shentu Feng somewhat smugly. Aren't you the master of gift-giving?

How about that… hehe!

Touching his storage ring, Ning Qianqiu's eyes gleamed, 'When it comes to giving gifts, you have to look at me!'

With that thought in his heart, Ning Qianqiu quickly stepped forward, “Elder Li, 1 have offended you before; I have specially prepared an apology gift for you. Please be sure to accept it!”

As he spoke, Ning Qianqiu took out a pitch-black object from his storage ring!

A brick!

Seeing the 'gift' that Ning Qianqiu took out, everyone from the Pill Sect felt the world darken before their eyes and nearly fainted!

What the heck!

Your grand-uncle Ning Qianqiu, are you trying to anger Elder Li?

You're giving a brick as a gift?

Who gives a gift like this?

Aren't you afraid that Elder Li will pick up the brick and smack you to death with it?

If you were smacked to death, you'd deserve it, but this would implicate the Pill Sect as well!

Shentu Feng snapped back to reality, grabbed Ning Qianqiu by the shoulders, and glared at him viciously, transmitting his voice angrily, “Ning Qianqiu, has our sect leader been too nice to you?”

The people of the Pill Sect were angry!

Before, they had asked Ning Qianqiu to take out the gift for everyone to check, but he refused.

And now, look at what he's done, pulling out a dark brick!

That brick of yours, did you pry it out of a stove or what?

At this moment, a strong suspicion surged in the hearts of those from the Pill Sect. They suspected that Ning Qianqiu was an undercover agent from another sect!

Sent to bring down the Pill Sect!

The Pill Sect members glared at Ning Qianqiu with hatred. If not for the nearly ten thousand people from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect present, they would have definitely rushed forward and torn Ning Qianqiu to pieces!

Ning Qianqiu held the brick in both hands, and suddenly, a chill rose in his heart. Hearing the sect leader's transmission, he swallowed hard!

“Sect Leader, don't be angry, look at me!” Ning Qianqiu mustered up the courage to reply and presented the brick with both hands.

Li Cheng, of course, heard their conversation and even the anger-filled transmissions from the Pill Sect members at Ning Qianqiu, but his gaze was drawn to the pitch-black brick.

Li Cheng grabbed the brick, curious, “Where did you get this from?”

Seeing his gift accepted by Li Cheng, Ning Qianqiu immediately became ecstatic, energetically clasping his fists, looking like an excited… psychiatric patient!

“To answer Elder Li, it was given to me by a Loose Immortal senior!” Ning Qianqiu said excitedly.

How could he not be excited?

The Sect Master gave such a heavy gift, which was outright ignored.

And his own gift, succeeded!

Li Cheng patted the dust off the brick, clicking his tongue in wonder, “A Loose Immortal? That Loose Immortal must be quite something, his stove…. must have quite the story!”
