Ch. 110 - Evil God

Bai Yulou gritted his teeth as the severe pain enough to tear apart the soul washed over him like a tide, and he never moved his arm even a bit.

Finally, all the translucent ghosts in the wooden box were immersed into Bai Yulou’s left arm. With the breeze, the empty wooden box gradually drifted away in ashes, leaving no traces behind.

The old man pondered for a while, then looked down at Bai Yulou who almost fainted. “This power is too evil, if you use it directly without restraint, you will face a backlash, sooner or later. I will try to find a way to help you refine a Spirit banner, and help you suppress the evil energy in your left arm.”

Bai Yulou bowed down and said, “Thank you, Master.”

“I have neither a Dao Companion nor an heir. I raised you with my own hands. Over the years, you and I have been like father and son. Why should you thank me?” The old man had a complicated expression as he lowered his body to help Bai Yulou up.

...

Time was like running water as it passed by quickly.

“Do you believe in fate?”

The old man’s body was filled with a lifeless spirit, and he sat on the throne, quietly looking at the tear-stained Bai Yulou.

“Master, I don’t know.”

The old man shook his head with a smile, and said, “Although fate exists, it is invisible and intangible. It is elusive. According to ancient records, there is a god in the sky who controls the stars of fate. If we cultivators offer special sacrifices to the gods, we can forge our own fate to a certain extent.”

Bai Yulou was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and asked, “What do you mean by that, Master?”

The old man waved his sleeve slightly, and a jade talisman condensed out, floating in front of Bai Yulou.

“I have been trapped in the Late Stage of True Dao Realm for more than 700 years, and there is no possibility of breaking into the Divine Sea Realm. Before I die, I will spend my soul and spirit to do an ancient divination for you.”

“Master!” Bai Yulou watched the old man’s complexion quickly turn gray, and hurried forward to hold his arm.

Gently brushing away Bai Yulou’s hand, the old man smiled and said, “Take this jade talisman and practice hard, don’t let your mother down.”

The jade talisman also trembled slightly, and fell directly into Bai Yulou’s hands.

Bai Yulou held the jade talisman, and a strange and mysterious aura surged. Above the extreme sky, a majestic and vast power of stars of fate descended, wrapping the jade talisman and sinking into the center of his eyebrows.

“It will guide you on the right path, follow it.”

When he came back to his senses and looked up, the old man on the throne had already lost his voice, but there was still a serene smile on the corner of his mouth.

...

The dusty past had long been wiped out of his memories. Bai Yulou took a sip of the “Life-prolonging Wine”, looked at the bustling Shouyan Sect, and remained silent.

“How are fellow Daoist’s attainments in alchemy and spirtual techniques?” Ye Xi asked after looking at Ji Yuenian.

Ji Yuenian pondered for a moment, and said, “I understand a little bit, why did fellow Daoist want to know?”

Ye Xi pointed in the direction of the ancient city, and said with a smile, “Fellow Daoist is going to the Chen family of the ancient city, don’t you know that the Alchemy Conference will be held within the territory of ancient city?”

“Alchemy Conference ?” Ji Yuenian’s thoughts moved slightly. “I have been practicing in the Luoxia Mountains before, and I have never heard of this matter.”

“After the elders of the Chen family broke into the realm of spirits and gods, the Chen family not only invited countless forces in the Yuanyan realm to watch the ceremony, but also took out two long-lost ancient pill formulas as prizes, and this alchemy ceremony came into being.”

“The Chen family has a saying that if someone within the territory of an ancient city can refine the pill inscribed on their formula, he will be invited into the Chen family, and also grant Cultivation resources. This matter is now popular, and countless creatures want to take this opportunity to enter the Chen family, so they flocked towards the ancient city.”

Bai Yulou put down his wine glass and said with a sneer, “What kind of Alchemy Conference, it’s just an attractive gimmick. The Chen family gave birth to the great power of the realm of the gods and spirits, and it was the time when they expanded their power. It’s just an excuse.”

Everyone could learn alchemy techniques, but it was difficult for everyone to master them.

Any living being whose Heart Fire was ignited could practice alchemy, and refine various miraculous pills.

From the most common “Qi Gathering Pill”, “Xing Qi Pill” and “Juyuan Pill” to increase Xuan energy, to the extremely rare “Tongqiao Pill” and “Spirit Devouring Pill” in the Qingluan Mountains, and other pills with different effects. All pills’ materials and specific pills formula would be required, and the steps were extremely strict. No mistakes could be tolerated at all.

The two pill formulas that the Chen family took out were not difficult, and the pill materials provided by them were only required the expertise of a man with Heart Fire.

Ji Yuenian nodded lightly, and said, “Brother Bai’s words are correct. The Chen family’s ‘Alchemy Conference’ should be a means to recruit Talent and expand their power. Through the Heart fire requirements of this Alchemy Conference, the talented people will be screened out.”

Ye Xi looked at the ancient city with some longing, and sighed. “You, disciples of the sect will never know the hardships of cultivating in the wilderness like me. No matter how you put it, the Chen family now has a cultivator at the realm of the sea of gods and spirits. It would be great if one could enter through the Alchemy Conference.”

Bai Yulou glanced at Ye Xi and fell silent.

Ye Xi had a Grade 7 Heart Fire Sequene, and it was a fluke to be able to cultivate to the True Dao Realm. He was even ignorant of alchemy techniques.

“Senior Brother Ji, it’s getting late.”

Wang Yueyang and Gu Hang left the table, walked towards where Ji Yuenian and Bai Yulou were, and bowed their heads in salute.

Ji Yuenian raised his head to look at the night sky, and it was already the time when the moon was in midheaven.

Bai Yulou looked playful, stopped Ji Yuenian who was about to get up, and said, “Since the juniors are passing by, why don’t you watch the ceremony?”

Wang Yueyang looked at Bai Yulou solemnly, sensed an extremely dangerous aura from him, and said, “This senior is being polite, I wonder when this ceremony will start?”

“It should be soon.”

While several people were talking, the white-clothed young man in the seat of honor stood up, flicked his sleeves, and said loudly, “For this sacrifice, Ancient Mountain God is here!”

As his words fell, the entire Shouyan Mountain Sect seemed to tremble, and countless demon spirits and ghosts rushed out of the darkness, climbing towards the majestic altar.

Nearly a thousand creatures on the banquet gradually became quiet, and their eyes were all on the altar.

If one observed carefully, he would find that these demon spirits and ghosts held creatures of different shapes in their hands. There were people, demons, spirits, and monsters, but there were no ghosts.

The cultivation bases of these suppressed creatures were not high, and most of them were in the Xuan Realm. They all howled in despair.
