Alchemy Association.
Ye Tian was rescued by Su Li from the brink of death, and sat down with him in the cave.
"How are you feeling?" Su Li took a sip of spiritual tea and asked slowly.
Ye Tian endured the pain and said, "I feel much better. Thank you, Chairman Su."
This time, it was thanks to this hidden connection that he was killed; otherwise, Yu Chengen, the head of the Imperial Pavilion, would have already killed him.
"No need to thank me. Even if you weren't Xiao Chen's senior brother, just because you're the champion of the Dan Sheng Mountain range's alchemy competition, I wouldn't let anyone harm you," Su Li said truthfully.
"President Su, I heard that you destroyed Yu Chengen with your last whisk?" Ye Tian was not surprised that Su Li knew his true identity. The Mask of Free Will could only protect those below the Immortal realm, and it could see clearly whether it was Yu Chengen or Su Li.
Su Li shook his head and said, "I only destroyed his clone. The true body of the Huangyu Pavilion Master is suppressing the Eastern Emperor Bell and cannot get away for the time being."
"The Eastern Emperor Bell?" Ye Tian wondered. In the myths and legends of his previous life, the Eastern Emperor was a very powerful being.
Seeing his curiosity, Su Li explained to him, "Legend has it that the Eastern Emperor Bell is a magical artifact that the Eastern Emperor forged from his old body after shedding his mortal form. With this item, one can command all beasts, and none will submit upon hearing the sound of the bell. Looking at this item can calm the mind, and most importantly, this item can withstand lightning tribulations."
Judging from these attributes, you can tell that they will cause a frenzy among many people, but what is it suppressing? This is clearly a treasure.
Seemingly noticing Ye Tian's confusion, Su Li explained further: "The Eastern Emperor Bell was originally scattered throughout our Dan Sheng Mountain Range. A few years ago, it was used by a wandering Taoist priest to suppress the Nine-Headed Demon Python in the Fei Guang Mountain Range. This demon was of profound power. Yu Chengen dared not undergo his tribulation without eliminating it. He has been guarding the Eastern Emperor Bell day and night for years, just waiting for the demon inside to break free."
At this point, Ye Tiancai finally understood the whole story.
Yu Chengen was actually guarding the nine-headed demon python inside the Eastern Emperor Bell.
Thinking of Yu Chengen, Ye Tian's heart was filled with murderous intent. Since arriving on the mysterious continent, he had never been so humiliated. A gentleman avenges his wrongs!
"President Su, what exactly is Yu Chengen's realm? How many realms are there above the Immortal realm? I know nothing about it." Since joining the Ruthless Sect, no one in the entire sect had ever considered that they could one day break through to the Heavenly Mystic Realm. But now, in the blink of an eye, his strength has reached the level of slaying immortals. Ye Tian has never even learned about the specific realms above the Immortal realm.
"Above the immortals, one sheds the mortal body."
"Having just broken through the clouds, one has reached the Transcendent Realm, also known as the Half-Immortal Realm. It consists of three stages; only by breaking through these three stages and shedding one's mortal body can one truly become an immortal."
Li Guang, who died at his hands that day, was probably only of this caliber.
The half-immortal has yet to pass the first test.
"Once one enters the realm of immortals, one becomes no different from ordinary mortals. Transcending the mundane and ascending to heaven, the first realm is called Celestial Immortal, which has twelve levels. These twelve levels are built by cultivating immortal energy, and each level is extremely difficult to endure. Only by enduring all twelve levels can one advance to the next step. When the immortal energy within the body forms a golden core, one is hailed as a Golden Immortal. Again, there are twelve levels before advancing to the next realm: Great Luo Golden Immortal."
"Reaching this level means you're no longer just a Celestial Immortal; you've truly advanced on the path of cultivation. Such people are extremely rare!"
"What level is Yu Chengen?" Ye Tian asked.
"About to enter the Golden Immortal realm."
"Hiss." Ye Tian gasped. This was a terrifying enemy!
To reach the Golden Immortal realm, one must first overcome the three barriers of the Half-Immortal realm and ascend to the twelfth level of the Celestial Immortal realm. The difficulty involved is unimaginable.
No wonder Yu Chengen, the master of the Imperial Pavilion, can be so arrogant. With his cultivation level, he can roam freely across the Feiguang Mountains and the Yunwu Mountains.
Since Yu Chengen is already at the half-step Golden Immortal realm, wouldn't Su Li be even more powerful?
The fact that the president of the Alchemy Association dared to break through Yu Chengen's clone proves that Su Li is not afraid of his opponent and is very likely even stronger.
Su Li knew exactly what the kid was thinking. He took a sip of tea and smiled mysteriously, "Ten years ago, I had a fight with Yu Chengen."
Such a past event exists?
Sensing the spice of gossip, Ye Tian quickly asked, "What was the result?"
Su Li chuckled and said, "Back then, I went to Feiguang Mountain Range under the alias Su Wuyai and made an enemy of Yu Chengen. But I wasn't in such a good temper back then, and I beat him so badly that he would have died long ago if a master hadn't saved him."
This old man is no ordinary person.
Ye Tian knew that Su Li couldn't lie, no wonder Su Li wasn't afraid.
What's so scary about a defeated opponent?
"Since you've asked me so many questions, let me ask you a few in return." Su Li said this seemingly calmly, but it made Ye Tian's heart jump into his throat.
Su Li now knows him perfectly well.
Su Li has discovered Ye Tian's true identity. If he asks any sensitive questions, such as why he is so young, he could be executed by the Cloud Immortal Executioner.
That's a difficult question to answer.
This old man is so powerful, it's hard to refuse him.
Ye Tian was a little flustered.
Seeing that he was nervous, Su Li comforted him, "Don't be afraid, I'm just asking a few simple questions."
"Did your master teach you alchemy, or did you learn it casually?"
If Su Li were to answer what Wuchen Daoren taught him, given his alchemy techniques, he'd probably be slapped to death.
Ye Tian could only bite the bullet and reply, "Back then, an old Taoist priest traveled around and taught me a lot. The art of alchemy was one of them. He left behind a book, which I have been studying repeatedly over the years and have mastered."
Su Li frowned, pondered for a long time, and then asked, "Where did you meet the old Taoist priest? In the Cloud Mist Mountains?"
Ye Tian made it up, of course, it was all made up. Seeing him trying to cover up his lie, I went along with it and said, "That's right, back in the Cloud Mist Mountains, the old Taoist priest only gave me a few pointers before riding away on his crane."
Su Li listened with great emotion and said, "Your methods of refining pills with qi and fire, and building with thunder and fire, are things that ordinary people cannot learn. The one who taught you the techniques was probably a master from Zhongzhou, and you just happened to get the advantage."
Ye Tian was more than happy to hear them say that, and agreed, "That's right."
"May I have a look at that basic alchemy manual for junior cultivators that you mentioned? Over the years, I've been absorbing techniques of Qi Fire and Thunder Fire. Perhaps this book will be helpful to me. In return, I can grant you the first prize in the alchemy competition and also allow you to cultivate alchemy and other techniques in the Nine Heavens Town Pill Tower," Su Li said.
Considering how much he helped me, it was a great favor.
Ye Tian was definitely going to agree, but when he remembered what Su Li had just said about realms, a bold idea suddenly popped into his head.
"Ahem, President Su, I will definitely let you observe this technique, but I have two small requests. I wonder if you can fulfill them for me."
Su Li wasn't annoyed when he made a request. He calmly asked, "What request do you have? Just tell me."
"First, don't tell my fellow apprentices that I'm the one competing this time, and not even Master."
"Secondly, I want you to come to our Ruthless Sect as a guest elder in name only," Ye Tian stated his two requests.
