Medicine God Hall’s grand hall.
The welcoming feast had already begun.
Yao Xuan and the five Elders raised their cups in a toast.
After a few drinks, Yao Xuan gathered his courage and asked, "Ancestor, what happened to your cultivation and why has your appearance changed?"
The eyes of the five Elders and ten Venerables all turned to Gu Chenfeng.
They were all very curious.
Gu Chenfeng casually found an excuse and laughed, "It’s related to the Cultivation Technique I’ve been practicing, called the Rebirth Technique. Each rebirth grants me greater power."
"Each rebirth grants powerful strength?" Little Fire Dragon’s eyes protruded as he stared at Gu Chenfeng.
"A rebirth technique? An Immortal Technique?" Yao Xuan and the five Elders also widened their eyes, their faces full of shock.
They had never heard of such a heaven-defying technique. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel fire.net
Gu Chenfeng chuckled, "The Devouring Power is the strength I obtained after rebirth. After rebirth, I became and need to re-cultivate my skills."
"But my cultivation will progress quickly, so you needn’t worry."
Little Fire Dragon, trying hard to hide his shock, said, "Master, although the Rebirth Technique is immensely powerful, having to re-cultivate is too great a cost."
"Candle Dragon is right," Yao Xuan frowned, "It’s very difficult to return to peak cultivation. Ancestor, you had reached the Ascension Realm back then."
Gu Chenfeng shrugged, "There’s nothing wrong with re-cultivating. At least I’ve obtained stronger power. With this strength, there’s no need to worry about ascension in the future."
If they knew that this was Gu Chenfeng’s ninth rebirth, who knows if they’d be scared to death.
Yao Xingchen respectfully asked, "Ancestor, what are your plans next?"
Gu Chenfeng downed a cup of wine and said with a faint smile, "I am now a disciple of the Ancient Divine Sect. Before I restore my peak cultivation, my identity must not be revealed."
"What? A disciple of the Ancient Divine Sect?"
"Ancestor, this must not be! How can the Ancestor bow down to the Ancient Divine Sect?"
"Please reconsider, Ancestor!"
Yao Xuan and the Elders were utterly shocked and deeply worried.
"Enough," Gu Chenfeng lightly laughed, "My mind is set. I returned this time to recruit a few exceptionally talented alchemists."
Yao Xingchen suddenly asked, "Ancestor, the Heaven and Earth Immortal Spirit Pill refined by the Ancient Divine Sect, is it your pill formula?"
"Indeed," Gu Chenfeng nodded with a smile, "This pill has already brought significant trouble to the Ancient Divine Sect, including the Soul-Devouring Sect’s subordinate force, the Profound Nether Immortal Sect."
"Before coming to the Medicine God Hall, I had already asked the Ancient God Mountain Commerce Association to intervene, but it was not enough to resolve the trouble."
Yao Xuan respectfully said, "Ancestor, the Medicine God Hall can step in. Now the Medicine God Hall fears not the Soul-Devouring Sect, as we have many powerful subordinates."
Gu Chenfeng smiled faintly, "That’s also why I returned to the Medicine God Hall."
As he spoke, Gu Chenfeng waved his hand, and a Jade Scroll flew towards Yao Xuan.
Gu Chenfeng continued, "Inside the Jade Scroll are pill formulas and refining techniques ranging from Sixth Grade to Ninth Grade, including the formula for the Heaven and Earth Immortal Spirit Pill."
"Sixth Grade to Ninth Grade pill formulas?" Yao Xuan and the Elders were stunned, seemingly petrified, motionless.
The strongest alchemist in the Medicine God Hall was only at the Eighth Grade.
Having a Ninth Grade pill formula seemed pointless.
Gu Chenfeng nodded, "These pill formulas are for elixirs you’ve never seen before, including ones that enhance Soul Power. Yao Xuan, you can attempt to break through to the Ninth Grade."
"Break through to the Ninth Grade?" Yao Xuan was once again greatly shocked, his heart racing wildly, feeling almost breathless.
Breaking through to a Ninth Grade Alchemist was Yao Xuan’s lifelong dream, yet the barrier to the Ninth Grade was extremely challenging. After so many years, he had never touched the Ninth Grade Realm.
Seeing Yao Xuan’s shocked expression, Gu Chenfeng smiled and asked, "What? No confidence?"
Yao Xuan was suddenly roused and quickly replied with respect, "Ancestor, the Cultivation Realm has not seen a Ninth Grade Alchemist for many years, and despite all these years, I’ve never touched the Ninth Grade Realm, perhaps..."
Gu Chenfeng waved his hand again, and two Jade Scrolls flew out. In a gentle voice, he said, "This is the Immortal Technique Refining Pill Skill, which can help you enhance your Soul Realm. By then, you’ll also be able to refine the pills in the Jade Scroll."
"The other Jade Scroll contains a powerful Cultivation Technique. I’ve also prepared some Immortal Techniques for you. Train well. Breaking through to the Ninth Grade Realm and the Mahayana Stage won’t be a problem."
"Immortal Technique Refining Pill Skill!"
"Breaking through to the Ninth Grade Realm isn’t a problem?"
"Breaking through to the Mahayana Stage isn’t a problem?"
Yao Xuan and the five Elders were once again dumbfounded, as if dreaming.
To break through to the Ninth Grade Realm and the Mahayana Stage isn’t a problem—how powerful must one be?
This far exceeded their imagination.
Amidst the shock, Yao Xuan couldn’t believe it and asked, "Ancestor, can the Immortal Technique Refining Pill Skill truly help disciples break through to the Ninth Grade Realm?"
Breaking through as a Ninth Grade Alchemist is harder than breaking through to the Mahayana Stage.
Looking across the entire Cultivation Realm, only one known Ninth Grade Alchemist exists.
It is almost unimaginable how terrifyingly difficult breaking through to the Ninth Grade Realm would be.
"You won’t know until you try," Gu Chenfeng said with a calm smile, "I need three talented alchemists. Yao Qinghe is one of them. You need to find two more for me."
Yao Xingchen respectfully said, "Ancestor, the first disciple of the Medicine God Hall, Nie Yuan, and Yi Tianjun are both talented alchemists. They are currently at the Sixth Grade and should break through to the Seventh Grade soon."
"Very good," Gu Chenfeng nodded in satisfaction, "Have them return with me to the Ancient Divine Sect in three days."
"Yes, Ancestor!" Yao Xingchen respectfully responded.
"One more thing," Gu Chenfeng asked seriously, "Has the Artifact Refining Pavilion’s Pavilion Master and some Elders encountered trouble?"
"The Ancestor is correct," Yao Xuan responded respectfully, "During the great battle in those years, the Artifact Refining Pavilion fully assisted our Medicine God Hall. The Pavilion Master and three Elders were gravely injured by more than ten Poison Masters of the Soul-Devouring Sect, their Soul Bodies corroded by poison, nearly costing them their lives."
"As expected," Gu Chenfeng frowned, "I guessed it was related to the Soul-Devouring Sect. Since they aren’t at the Artifact Refining Pavilion, do you know where they are?"
Yao Xingchen answered, "Ancestor, they are with the Demon God Race."
"Demon God Race?" Gu Chenfeng showed slight surprise.
Candle Dragon respectfully explained, "Master, the ancient fire of the Demon God Race can devour poison."
"I see," Gu Chenfeng nodded.
Knowing the Pavilion Master and others were safe, Gu Chenfeng was at ease.
Turning his gaze to Yao Xuan, Gu Chenfeng solemnly said, "Yao Xuan, pass down the order! Medicine God Hall will emerge again! I want the Medicine God Hall to once again dominate the Cultivation Realm."
"Disciple shall obey!" Yao Xuan answered respectfully, his old face with a surge of joy.
"The Medicine God Hall can finally return to its peak!" Yao Xingchen exclaimed with joy, "With the Ancestor’s return, our Medicine God Hall is the strongest hegemon in the Cultivation Realm!"
