Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor Chapter 311

After leaving his cave, Wang Wei followed his memory to fly towards the Exchange Pavillion. He soon arrived in front of a wooden house that looked like three houses stacked on top of each other. In the middle house, a plaque with the character "Exchange Pavillion" written in black.

After entering inside, the first thing he noticed was that the inside was way bigger than the outside. He guessed that a space expansion formation was placed inside.

Many disciples were walking everywhere inside, and no one paid attention to him. Based on body movement and facial expression, he could tell that some people recognized him, but they just ignored him.

With a calm look on his face, he went to one of the many booths. He took out his token, and once the people in line saw it, they gave way for him so he came to the front of the line.

"What can I do for you, Fifth Young Master?" asked the female disciple that was in charge of this particular booth.

"I'm here to hand over some pills in exchange for Sect Points," responded Wang Wei blandly before taking a space ring and handing it over to the girl. She then used her Divine Sense to take the things out, and a look of surprise flashed across her eyes.

She found a lot of superior quality Profound Pills. What's more, a few of them were of perfect quality. On top of that, there were more than 20 Low-level Earth Grade Pill, and most of them were normal qualities with 3 of them being perfect quality.

As an alchemist herself, she knew how difficult it is to refine perfect quality pills–no matter the grade. On top of that, all of these pills came from Lou Cheng, the person with the least amount of talent amongst the disciples of the sect master.

This girl had dealt with him before and the quality of the pill he previously exchanged was nothing compared to now. Even the quantity was not as large.

Despite all the thoughts that went across the girl's mind, her facial exchange still remained with the inviting smile.

"According to sect rules, your total of points for all these pills is 9,875."

Wang Wei nodded calmly. Based on the information he knew, this result was more than fair. So, he handed his identity token to her, and after she placed it on a formation behind the counter, the number of registered points on the token increased.

After thanking the girl, he headed to another booth that was opposite the previous one he was in. As the girl in the booth watched him leave, she was thinking to herself:

'The pills that Lou Cheng handed over still have some residual heat inside them, meaning that he probably refined them himself. Previously, his talent was mediocre, but now, he seems to have encountered some kind of fortuitous encounter, otherwise, it could not explain how his alchemy has increased so much in such a short time.

'Should I tell the Elder about this, or am I being too sensitive? Just in case, let's inform him.'

However, as soon as this idea came into her mind, an invisible and undetectable spiritual power entered her mind. Immediately afterward, she thought to herself:

'I'm being too cautious. Maybe he was just lucky this time around and had more success than usual.'

Meanwhile, Wang Wei did not use his token to get in the front of the line this time since it was not that long. While waiting, he thought to himself:

'I wonder how deep Fu Caiyun's control over this sect is.'

Just now, he quickly read the Fate Line of the girl in the booth and learned that she was secretly one of the people that supported Fu Caiyun in the sect.

After making this discovery, Wang Wei did a quick read on many other people, and more than two-thirds of the people behind the booths were his people. That meant that Fu Caiyun had full control over people of power in the Origin Dao Pill Sect.

'I feel bad for my cheap master; his sect is not under his control.'

Wang Wei was pondering whether he should get rid of Fu Caiyun so that his plan could go more smoothly. According to his original plan, he wanted to impersonate one of Fu Caiyun's disciples since he had the most power in the sect.

However, after his research, he learned that most of Fu Caiyun's disciples will either die or become mediocre. They usually showed excellent talent in the early years, but later they became mediocre.

As for the truly extraordinary one that had hope of inheriting his ability and skill, they all died under strange and mysterious circumstances.

In the world, there has never been a lock that is kept locked forever. So, rumors of the fact that Fu Caiyun secretly killed his disciples have long spread to the world, leading to his terrible reputation. Of course, that's just one of the reasons.

While Wang Wei was thinking about his next step of action, it was already his time. He looked at the disciple in front of him, and he knew that he was also one of Fu Caiyun's people.

"I need the material on this list," said Wang Wei.

"Purple Cordyceps, Fire Elemental Petals, Heart of Tier 4 Demonic Beast– preferably one of the fire elements, 10,000 years old Eucommia Bark, and a Blood Concentrating Flower," muttered the young man with a frown.

What he just read was just a small part of the list.

"These are all herbs to make Middle-level Earth Pills, are you sure you want to exchange them?"

"Is there a problem?" asked Wang Wei back.

"No, no, there is no problem," hurriedly said the man. "All of these herbs will cost a total of 8,343 points."

Wang Wei frowned after hearing this. Currently, he only has a little more than 10,000 points. But now, he was about to use more than 80% of it.

'It seems that I have to find a way to make more points. If I continue to exchange high-quality pills more often, it will be easy to be discovered.'

After handing the disciple his token to pay, he quickly used a spiritual hint on him and the people around him to not pay great attention to him and his action. Even the Elder secretly protecting this place was not spared.

Luckily for Wang Wei, that old man was only in the Saint Realm, so he was not discovered.

After doing this, he returned to his cave. However, he did not immediately start refining pills. Instead, he focused on the cultivation technique that Lou Chengs had cultivated.

Despite being a disciple of the sect master, he did not cultivate any Emperor Scriptures of the sect. Instead, he cultivated a technique that he accidentally discovered in a cave back when he was still a mortal.

The technique was called [Flame Controlling Art]. And as the simple name implied, it taught cultivators how to control Flame for alchemy. This technique was divided into 12 layers.

Unfortunately, Lou Cheng only had 6 layers, and as such, could only cultivate to the Primordial Spirit Realm. Knowing that this technique had no future, he told his master about it so that he can change to a better one.

However, Ye Lao told him that this technique was strange, and only by cultivating to the 6th level could he change to another one.

Wang Wei always felt that this technique was special; to be precise, it seemed as if it was incomplete. And he was not referring to the fact that it only had half the layers.

To him, it was like someone took a more powerful technique and simplified it to make it easier for other people to learn. Another thing that made him suspicious was the conversation that Lou Cheng had with Ye Lao when he first showed him the technique.

The sect master was too nonchalant. A cultivation technique that could teach people how to properly control flame should be very valuable to an alchemy sect.

Yet, Ye Lao did not show any interest after Lou Cheng showed it to him. He even swore an oath not to tell anyone else that he was cultivating it.

After knowing that something was wrong, Wang Wei wanted to find the answer. So, he used his power of fate to deduce the cause and effect of this cultivation technique; he wanted to find its origins.

Unfortunately, his deduction did not produce any result. So, he changed his calculation and wanted to know if this technique was related to the Origin Dao Pill Sect.

He still could not get an answer. So, he deduced if the technique had any relationship with sect master Ye Lao.

He finally got an answer and a positive one at that.

Wang Wei's eyes lit up after this as many thoughts rushed through his mind. He had many theories, however, there was too little information as of now.

For the next week, he stayed in his cave, then left for the sect's library. He wanted to check if there was any technique that could help people increase their flame control.

And the answer was negative.

Without pause, he headed to another person's cave; he wanted to check one last thing about this technique before making any theories or deductions.
