Chapter 103: Chapter 86: Became the Deputy Sect Master and Took Away a Lower Yellow Grade Alchemy Furnace?_2
“`
“However, due to lack of experience, I had never been chosen by the Wan Dan Sect to become one of its registered disciples.”
“But this time, it’s different.”
“This time, my preparation is absolutely sufficient.”
“This time, I will definitely stand out from the crowd and be the one chosen by the Wan Dan Sect.”
…
As time passed,
soon, the cultivators inside the great hall began the first step of alchemy.
The somewhat overfamiliar man beside Luo Changfeng
was also starting to heat the furnace cauldron in front of him.
As the temperature of the furnace cauldron in front of him reached a certain degree,
the rather overfamiliar man started to throw the ingredients for the Blood Replenishing Pill into the furnace one by one.
“Huff…”
“That should be just about right…”
After completing the preliminary work, the man couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.
But just as he was about to turn his head to see how far the old master beside him had progressed,
he suddenly froze, somewhat dumbfounded.
His eyes, wide and round, had pupils that were slightly constricting.
Just as he had finished some of the preliminary preparations for alchemy,
the old master beside him had already started the final condensation of the pills with a strong fire.
With the constant infusion of Qi-Blood Force, the flames under the furnace became more vigorous.
The temperature of the furnace was rising at an incredibly fast pace.
The old master’s alchemy skills were also becoming faster and faster, even some of the finer operations were confusing to him.
Until, the old master had completed the creation of the Blood Replenishing Pill,
the alchemy materials in front of the man in the furnace cauldron had also… completely charred at that moment.
“Damn…”
“It’s all ruined, totally ruined…”
The somewhat overfamiliar man couldn’t help but feel like crying without tears.
Then, Luo Changfeng who had completed this series of alchemy procedures,
silently walked forward and opened the lid of the furnace cauldron.
Smelling the gradually spreading fragrance of the elixir coming from within,
he looked at the more than twenty top-quality Blood Replenishing Pills lying silently at the bottom of the furnace cauldron.
He couldn’t help but nod his head in satisfaction.
Mirror-Breaking Elixir, Body Tempering Elixir.
It would be fine with these more challenging pills,
but making a mere Blood Replenishing Pill, he could succeed even with his eyes closed.
…
After the alchemy was completed.
Before long, Luo Changfeng was respectfully led to another palace by someone from the Wan Dan Sect.
At that time, inside this palace,
there stood a figure, slightly hunched, leaning on a cane,
with a wrinkled face, eyes narrowed into slits,
an old man whose eyes were so cloudy that they were almost unclear.
He was standing there silently,
seemingly… waiting for Luo Changfeng’s arrival?
Yes, if he wasn’t mistaken,
this old fellow was probably waiting for him.
“Luo brother, it’s you, isn’t it?”
Upon seeing the silver-haired, thin Luo Changfeng exuding an air of immortality,
and the Wan Dan Sect disciples following behind him,
the old man couldn’t help but suddenly open his eyes wide.
A look of excitement appeared in his eyes.
“You… who are you?”
Luo Changfeng looked at the old man holding the cane in front of him, and his face showed a hint of confusion.
“Right, let me introduce myself first.”
“My surname is Fu, first name Qiu, currently serving as the Sect Master of Wan Dan Sect’s Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect.”
“Right now, I am classified as a Lower Yellow Grade alchemist.”
Luo Changfeng frowned slightly, “And then?”
“And then, I sincerely wish to invite brother Luo to assume the position of Deputy Sect Master in our Wan Dan Sect’s Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect.”
“Of course, if brother Luo is not satisfied,
the Sect Master position is also available for brother Luo…”
Hearing this, Luo Changfeng’s already slightly furrowed brow furrowed even deeper, “What do you mean?”
He truly didn’t understand the meaning behind this fellow’s words.
He just wanted to join an Immortal Sect.
Then, gather some Spirit Stones to use.
How did it come to this?
How did it suddenly come to offering him the position of Deputy Sect Master?
What does it mean that, if he’s not satisfied, even the Sect Master’s position could be considered?
“Brother Luo may not know, but the competition within the Wan Dan Sect is incredibly fierce,”
“Regardless of how numerous the Sub-sects of the Wan Dan Sect might seem,
“to secure sufficient resource allocations for one’s own Sub-sect is quite a struggle.”
“In the Da Feng Dynasty, there are thirteen prefectures.”
“Each prefecture has a Sub-sect assigned by the Wan Dan Sect.”
“The resources allocated to the Sub-sects of the Wan Dan Sect are entirely dependent on their rankings.”
“A higher ranking means more resources.”
“A lower ranking results in fewer allocated resources.”
“The Sub-sects’ rankings are almost yearly, minutely and accurately adjusted by the Main Sect based on various factors.”
“Last year, our Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect’s ranking was the twelfth within the Da Feng Dynasty.”
“We were just a little short of being last.”
“Such a situation makes me, the current Sect Master of the Wan Dan Sect’s Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect, feel quite ashamed…”
“Therefore, if brother Luo is willing,
“You can take over as the current Sect Master of this Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect, and that would be just fine!”
…
Fu Qiu’s words echoed through the grand hall,
After hearing them, Luo Changfeng fell into a deep contemplation.
He had thought that the relationship between a Sub-sect and the Main Sect of the Wan Dan Sect was merely one of talent provision.
