Unlike Wang Mu’s first encounter with that Demoness, these three won exuded an aura and appearance more akin to Fairies descending from the heavens than Demonesses. In terms of deanor, dress, and looks, they were even more captivating than the Disciples of the Shuiyun Sect.
The Disciples of the Shuiyun Sect would catch your eye at first glance, and after a while, you couldn’t help but give them a second look.
But these few won, once you looked at them, your eyes couldn’t look away.
The one leading them was especially striking.
She wore a veil, revealing only her willow-leaf brows and a forehead as smooth as jade. Her hair cascaded over her shoulders, not styled as intricately as the three female Disciples behind her, yet there was an indescribable charm about her simplicity.
She leaned lazily on the desk, appearing sowhat bored. Her light red dress, combined with her relaxed posture, subtly outlined the curves of her waist and chest, utterly captivating.
She was holding a wine glass, seemingly uninterested in the grand event, just gazing out, yet she still managed to attract countless gazes.
This woman has so charm, Wang Mu thought, feeling a strong pull.
It was as if an invisible giant hand was pressing on his head, making it impossible to look away.
Wang Mu finally managed to look away, only to see that the other Disciples were also spellbound; even the Senior Brothers showed a slight stupor.
"Humph!"
Master Wu Dayong waved his sleeve and frowned, saying, "It’s that Gu Witch again! Wake up already!"
His voice bood like thunder, snapping many Disciples out of their trance.
The Senior Brothers also turned slightly red, clearly embarrassed.
However, the other Junior Brothers seed to linger on the mory, still sneaking glances from ti to ti.
"That’s the Gu Witch from the Fengyue Sect..." one of the Senior Brothers hurriedly kept an eye on the Junior Brothers beside him. "Stop looking! She’s the Little Witch from the Fengyue Sect. When the Supre Master of their Sect isn’t around, she’s the most formidable one there."
"You all know about our Sect’s Chief Senior Brother, right? He got bewitched by this Witch, and now he’s still at Contemplation Cliff. Do you all want to end up there too?"
Hearing this, the other Disciples hurriedly looked away.
Gu Witch... Wang Mu realized. So that was it.
"The Fengyue Sect is skilled in the Alchemy Dao as well; the Youthful Appearance Pill famously originated from them. And this Gu Witch excels in that field... I didn’t expect that the Dan King Sect invited them too."
Master Wu Dayong glanced over the many Disciples. When his gaze landed on Wang Mu, he nodded in satisfaction. "There is no right or wrong in the Alchemy Dao," he said. "Though the Fengyue Sect is at odds with our Sect, they excel in the Alchemy Dao, especially in various Spirit Pills focused on the Cultivation of won."
"Now, enough chatter. The people from the Dan King Sect have already arrived."
"If you wish to join in the fun later on, you may also present the Elixirs you’ve concocted these past few days. It doesn’t matter if they are not favored."
"What’s important is to participate, right? The Alchemy Dao is about seeking knowledge and innovation; otherwise, sticking to old Elixir recipes will always lead to many inconveniences in contemporary Cultivation practices..."
Wang Mu nodded. Absolutely, participation is key.
Truly, the perspective of an Elixir Dao Master is on another level.
At that mont, the square fell silent. From the sky, a man and a woman descended, riding a Bronze Pill Furnace.
The Bronze Pill Furnace was square, wide, and majestic. Each of the four sides was adorned with a coiled statue of a Divine Beast, and flas flared on top of it, emitting a mystical and ancient aura. It was clearly a Divine Artifact.
"Ladies and gentlen, thank you for waiting. I am Chen Feng, a Pill Master from the Dan King Sect," the man announced cheerfully. "As for proof of identity, this is our Dan King Sect’s Four Symbols Divine Furnace. I trust everyone present can recognize it."
"This is my junior sister, Shen Jiao, who ca with to oversee this event."
"Furthermore, those who participate in the Dan King Sect’s event will all receive a blessed gift."
The man, introducing himself as Chen Feng, spoke with a loud voice and overwhelming Divine Sense that made his voice clear to everyone present. His Cultivation was obviously very high.
Shen Jiao, who accompanied him, rely glanced around the crowd. Her beautiful face was as serene as an ancient well as she gently tapped the Pill Furnace beside her.
Instantly, the Four Symbols Divine Tripod burst into a display of unmatched Divine Power.
A phantom appeared, its formidable presence instantly intimidating the entire gathering.
"That must be the ancestor of the Dan King Sect..." Master Wu whispered. "He is also one of the rare Ascension Experts who has rarely appeared in the world for many years."
The phantom was indistinct and boundlessly vast, yet it pressed down like a hundred thousand great mountains and a billion stars, radiating an extre aura.
Perhaps only Yan Qingwu could compare to this presence, Wang Mu felt.
In the presence of many Cultivators, none dared even to breathe heavily.
It was rely a Divine Thought projection, yet it possessed such Divine Power. Among the tens of thousands of Cultivators present, Golden Core and Nascent Soul experts were plentiful...
Wang Mu didn’t look up; or more accurately, he couldn’t lift his head.
The phantom lasted only a few monts. After it rely uttered divine sounds, the giant tripod suddenly opened. The flas inside instantly vanished, and then, Elixir after Elixir tumbled out as if they were free.
And they fell precisely beside each person.
Wang Mu took a closer look and saw that it was a Mid-grade Spirit Pill, but he didn’t know what kind of Elixir it was.
"This is the Spirit Liquid Pill," Shen Jiao said indifferently. "It is a Mid-grade Spirit Pill recently developed by our Dan King Sect. Those above the Foundation Establishnt Stage can use it to enhance their Cultivation. Disciples below the Foundation Establishnt Stage can take it to increase their probability of Foundation Establishnt. Regardless of whether one belongs to a righteous or evil Sect, or what Cultivation Technique they practice, it has fifty percent of the effectiveness of a normal Foundation Establishnt Pill. Furthermore, it does not conflict with any other Foundation Establishnt Pill."
"Therefore, consider this a benefit, given to all fellow Daoists."
"..."
Wang Mu looked at the Spirit Liquid Pill in front of him and gasped in astonishnt. This Dan King Sect really is lavish!
With tens of thousands of Cultivators present, such a Mid-grade Spirit Pill, even in a Sect, would cost at least a hundred Spirit Stones. Are they really spending millions of Spirit Stones in one go? The total assets of an ordinary dium-sized Sect might not even amount to so many Spirit Stones...
No wonder most in the Nine Provinces Cultivation World are so cautious around the Dan King Sect... and dare not provoke them... Any slight disturbance, and it would surely cause a scramble to co and see.
"Alright, everyone, the distribution of benefits is complete..." Chen Feng said with a slight smile. "If you want to buy this kind of Elixir in the future, you can go to the designated Workshop to purchase it. I won’t waste any more words. Please present the Elixirs you have concocted and place them in this Four Symbols Divine Furnace."
"The Divine Furnace will automatically identify the Elixirs you’ve concocted. If the Elixir includes any ingredients other than the several Spiritual dicines provided by our Sect, then no matter how good the Elixir is, it will be considered unqualified."
"If a practical Elixir is concocted, the Divine Furnace will manifest anomalies."
"The rules are relatively simple; you just need to be aware of them."
The Four Symbols Divine Furnace was clearly a Divine Treasure, symbolic of the Dan King Sect.
"No wonder so many Elixir Dao Masters are attending this grand event..."
If they concoct good Elixirs, it’s equivalent to making a massive advertisent. Once word spreads after this grand event, they won’t have to worry about sales... Wang Mu thought, acknowledging the Dan King Sect’s impressive capability. And the Dan King Sect also gets what it wants—a win-win situation indeed.
Speaking of the Dan King Sect, they naturally belong to a neutral Sect. However, both righteous and evil paths dare not provoke them, and not without reason.
Wang Mu touched his bracelet. I wonder if my imitation of Immortal Sorrow will be of any use.
If it turns out it isn’t, but Master Wu and the others succeed, that wouldn’t be bad either.
Given the Sword Sect’s situation, Master Wu’s participation in this grand event was likely also related to Yan Qingwu’s damaged Primordial Spirit.
Yan Qingwu was an ancient ancestor of the Sword Sect, and her condition was naturally clear to the several Peak Leaders of the Sect. Protecting their own revered ancestor was the sa as safeguarding the status of the Sword Sect in the Cultivation World. Ascension Experts are rare in this world; without such powerful figures, the Sword Sect couldn’t possibly hold its current status.
Thus, Master Wu’s participation had an underlying goal, probably hoping to enter the Dan King Sect to acquire the Heavenly Heart Protecting God Pill.
Of course, this is just my own conjecture, but it’s most likely the case.
Soon after Chen Feng finished speaking, the first group of participants took the stage.
The one who took the stage was the Southern Sky Great Witch from the Great Wilderness’s Black Witch Sect, previously introduced by a Senior Brother.
This person was draped in an ancient dragon-shaped cloak, adorned with many exotic and rare ornants, and holding a withered wooden staff. He walked up alone without a word.
"Southern Sky Great Witch, please," Chen Feng said with a slight smile.
The Southern Sky Great Witch remained silent, then simply waved his sleeve lightly.
A dark Elixir then flew into the Pill Furnace...
