Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards

Chapter 609 - 335: Clashing Sharpness, Tier Four Upper Grade Alchemist!

By reason, if Qi Chuan wanted to hide something, he could easily tell the Great True Monarch of Divine Fire some misleading information.

However, Qi Chuan felt there was no need for that.

Over the years, if the Great True Monarch of Divine Fire could truly discover something, he would’ve done so already. Why bother probing through me now?

Moreover, as Qi Chuan said, he had no obligation to answer the Great True Monarch of Divine Fire.

Upon hearing Qi Chuan’s words, the Great True Monarch of Divine Fire, seated on his chair, squinted slightly at Qi Chuan.

This newly-promoted Great True Monarch Qi Chuan appeared to have some arrogance.

Newcomers always seem oblivious to the vastness of the heavens and earth.

They think that reaching the same realm means their power is also on par, and they have nothing to fear.

But in reality, the gap is far too wide.

Though he thought this, the Great True Monarch of Divine Fire still prioritized diplomatic conversation, shifted his thoughts, and said to Qi Chuan, "Great True Monarch Qi Chuan, have you discovered anything lately beneath this ’Earth Flame Sea Fire Mountain’? I know you have no obligation to answer me, but if you tell the truth, your Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect will gain the friendship of our Divine Fire Sect."

Qi Chuan, upon hearing this, glanced at the Great True Monarch of Divine Fire.

This Great True Monarch of Divine Fire seemed rather pretentious.

"I think the friendship of the Divine Fire Sect isn’t that important,"

Qi Chuan said indifferently, "As for this ’Earth Flame Sea Fire Mountain’, the Great True Monarch of Divine Fire is in the Chaotic Demon Sea, so he should know better than I, a cultivator from the Celestial North Domain, right?"

As Qi Chuan spoke, Zhen Chai, beside the Great True Monarch of Divine Fire, regarded him with some apprehension.

Internally, he shared the same thought as the Great True Monarch of Divine Fire, that this newly-promoted Great True Monarch Qi Chuan indeed had confidence and arrogance, as if he didn’t regard the veteran powerhouse that the Great True Monarch of Divine Fire was significantly.

True Monarch You Bing, watching Qi Chuan, was also surprised but didn’t overthink it.

Because in his mind, though Qi Chuan was newly promoted, given his character, since he acted like this, he might have his own assurance.

"So, Great True Monarch Qi Chuan, are you impervious?"

The smile vanished from the face of the Great True Monarch of Divine Fire, looking coldly at Qi Chuan.

He thought he respected Qi Chuan enough, not taking any action against him.

However, Qi Chuan seemed not to reciprocate the courtesy.

"Great True Monarch of Divine Fire, those words seem unfriendly," Qi Chuan directly faced the Great True Monarch of Divine Fire and said, "If the Great True Monarch of Divine Fire wishes to stretch his muscles, I can spar with you, but otherwise, there’s no need."

Upon these words, both Zhen Chai and True Monarch You Bing could feel the temperature around them drop rapidly, making the atmosphere subtle.

True Monarch You Bing stepped back a few steps.

The Great True Monarch of Divine Fire’s face darkened as he suddenly stood up from his chair, "Great True Monarch Qi Chuan, you seem a bit too arrogant."

Yet, he didn’t immediately make a move.

Because, to him, the benefits weren’t sufficient.

If there truly was a special spirit flame beneath the Earth Flame Sea Fire Mountain, and conflict arose because of that, he wouldn’t hesitate to strike Qi Chuan down.

Unfortunately, there wasn’t such a current situation.

If just because of some verbal disagreements, he were to push a Great True Monarch and a peak strong sect to the opposite side, it would clearly be unwise.

"Heh."

Qi Chuan gave the Great True Monarch of Divine Fire a glance, noting a trace of his thoughts. He merely chuckled softly, and then without further words, turned into an escape light, shooting toward the distant sky, disappearing from everyone’s sight in a matter of blinks.

The Great True Monarch of Divine Fire coldly watched as Qi Chuan’s escape light disappeared, and did not pursue.

"Qi Chuan, Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect..."

He coldly gazed at where the escape light vanished for a long while before gradually retracting his gaze.

Then, he looked again in the direction of the Earth Flame Sea Fire Mountain, waved his hand and said, "Go down and take a look, I want to see what Qi Chuan did in there, could he really be just cultivating his physical body?"

With these words, his figure moved, darting forward.

Behind him, Zhen Chai and True Monarch You Bing exchanged a glance with their own thoughts, then followed.

...

Qi Chuan rode the escape light, returning towards Beihua State.

He also guessed that after he left, the Great True Monarch of Divine Fire would likely return to the Earth Flame Sea Fire Mountain to inspect the situation again.

However, no matter how he inspected, without the Fire-Seeking Technique, he would find nothing and there was no need to worry at all.

Primarily, he still had to go back and start preparing the supplementary items to refine the special spirit flame. Once ready, he would refine the Invisible Qi Flowing Fire Lotus beneath the Earth Flame Sea Fire Mountain.

By then, if the Great True Monarch of Divine Fire tried to obstruct again, it would be the time for him to pay the price.

Returning to the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect, everything within the sect was incredibly tranquil.

Currently, the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect was a peak strong sect, rarely disturbed by anything, exuding vibrant vitality.

Qi Chuan planned to refine the Demon Beast Core of the Blue Tide Mother into a Strong Infant Pill to accelerate his advancement in cultivation.

However, to achieve that, he first needed to become a Tier Four Upper Grade Alchemist.

This requires practicing with some other Tier Four Upper Grade Pill Formulas.

Although for Qi Chuan, who possessed a hundredfold critical strike and alchemy mastery at the pinnacle of Tier Four Middle Grade, this wasn’t particularly difficult, gathering practice-use Tier Four Upper Grade Alchemy Materials and enhancing alchemy skills still required time.
