Entering the Immortal Path, Mastering the Hundred Arts: Chapter 59 - Alchemist Assessment (Seeking Votes!)

When later generations studied that period of history, they speculated that Cai Jing and Cai Yuanchang were sons of Su Shi, for otherwise, how could they have such distinguished features, with sparse eyebrows and bright eyes, a striking appearance?

After everyone arrived, they all retracted their flying artifacts. Huo Lin, Feng Lingzheng, and Chen Kunxian looked at Guibao with expressions that were hard to read—some showed no joy, only coldness, and only Chen Kunxian wore a look of respect.

Since the Purple Star Emperor took charge of the Heavenly Court, the old ways had changed. Countless heavenly soldiers descended to suppress those practicing forbidden magic. Bolstered by the Zhou Tian Stellar Formation, they exterminated innumerable evil cultivators, earning the Purple Star Demon-Subduing Emperor his name. For a time, beasts and demons vanished from the vast wilderness, and evil cultivators retreated deep into the mountains.

Yet inside the crystal stone dome, two Taoist-robed cultivators stood confronting the villagers. A hole had been broken in one side of the dome, and some villagers were channeling energy to repair it.

Guibao then took out a storage pouch and tossed it to a scar-faced cultivator surnamed Su. He looked at the strange group of green-robed men and directly mentioned the Ghost Face Assassination Order, implying to the ghost-faced men that the order was no longer in his possession.

Among the new generation of disciples at the Supreme Spiritual Sect, Zuo Qiangtai, Zhan Bozhong, Hong Luofan, Kong Rongxiang, Yue Haicheng, and Hua Xiuxia were known as the Six Heroes. Each now held important positions within the sect and were future leaders; crossing them would lead to no good outcome.

When Yan Zheng and his sharp-edged team arrived swiftly, Mu Nianxue had already fallen unconscious from severe blood loss. Her combat suit was soaked in blood, turning a dark brown, and the scent of blood was so strong it could be detected from afar.

Wang Shen opened the letter from Lü Benzhong, casting a contemplative gaze at the three kneeling messengers below, but said nothing.

In truth, there was no need for these men to chatter. Old Taiwen had already consolidated the army: the two great clans plus the King's City Guard dispatched by the Iron Throne numbered about fifty thousand. Though slightly fewer than the Northern Coalition, their overall combat power was equal or even superior.

Could even escape techniques be countered? Were the Eroding Immortals truly as formidable as rumored? What was to be done?

The foreman was startled—not because he feared death, but because he dreaded deaths occurring in his area of responsibility.

One must admit that now, Xu Tiantian looked truly happy; Lan Ziqing cared for her well.

Wei Xiazhi recounted recent experiences to Xia Liufeng, detailing all major events carefully. He worried that Bai Ying, the fox demon, might still have some tricks up her sleeve.

Meanwhile, workers from the agricultural machinery factory came to inquire about clothing. Upon learning it was sold out, they shook their heads and left.

Those on the other side of the video screen saw it suddenly go black, puzzled, exchanging glances.

Originally intending to take only part, Niu Lu reluctantly accepted when considering that upcoming operations would require funds.

The supreme disciple soared into the sky, stepping boldly forward amidst the surprised and even admiring gazes of many Holy Emperors and Heavenly Lords.

Li Pin swiftly hurled two spears, instantly killing two ferocious beasts. The remaining two were terrified by the devastating force, whining softly and halting their advance.

Li Cang was left behind with over ten thousand coins, told to learn to survive now that the child had grown.

At first, she tried to persuade them, but now accustomed, she found the elderly couple’s ways charming.

After weighing the situation, Yu Yang decided to risk it, channeling true energy through his fist with greater force. His fist emitted a brilliant glow as he struck fiercely, astonishing all who witnessed the formidable power.

The elder, with an aura of immortal grace, and a youth in white whose demeanor was as pure as snow and jade, formed a natural pairing that made one marvel at the wonders of time. None could escape the ravages of age, be they the youthful or the transcendent martial masters.

If this pace continued, venturing outside for a meal today might well mean dying in the streets, awaiting Old Cui and Old Chen to collect our bodies.

The four claws were knotted with black sinews, and the dragon roared fiercely. The palace gate trembled violently before finally opening a crack.

I looked up at the bespectacled man who was rambling to Shi San. Overcome with excitement, he nearly spat on Shi San several times during his speech.

Recalling past hardships, Gu Qingyan, outwardly strong yet inwardly fragile, couldn’t help but shed tears, startling Lin Chen.

Then the elder began to ramble about trivial matters, with Xu Jiangnan listening carefully and occasionally replying.

Behind them, Yang You rubbed his nose, amazed that after killing so many gods and demons in the past half month, he had risen to tenth place on the Jiuzhou Ranking—a result he never expected.

Before the tournament began, the elders had explicitly forbidden venturing deep into the forest, for it was filled with fierce beasts and treacherous dangers.

Clearly, in his view, surpassing Lin Yun was normal; to lag behind would be the anomaly.

"Andrei is already dead by my hand; you can collect your reward!" Lin Fei said to Liu Jingjing.

"Let’s go, what are we waiting for?" Ye Ya got up from the snow, picked up the snow staff left behind, and roared once more.

Those emerging from that place were led by a fierce protector; even the Tang family dared to show them some respect.
