HPDBC Chapter 228 Decision
Chapter 228 Decision
"..."
Tang Fenghua's mouth twitched.
Isn't it quite normal for alchemical techniques to be stuck for ten or eight years?
However, considering the speed of Alkaid's cultivation advancement...
It made sense.
Compared to this Hall Master, Hall Master Wu Qingying...
was really disappointing.
Just then, as if having received some message, Alkaid's consciousness stirred, and he had already appeared in the Void Divine Realm.
Within the Void Divine Realm, Li Qingshan had already arrived.
Apart from Li Qingshan, there were Zhou Lijian, Jiang Zhuoyue, Lou Yuyu, and several other Hall Master-level figures.
Upon seeing Alkaid's arrival, Li Qingshan introduced with a solemn expression, "Not long ago, we just signed an order with the Supreme Yin Sect. They invested a billion, purchasing three hundred exterior-model Purple Cloud 15 Flying Swords from us with a delivery agreement for half a year. Due to the increasingly obvious conflicts between Supreme Yin Sect and Heavenly Law Pavilion recently, we believed that the Supreme Yin Sect's internal consumption of flying swords was too rapid, and that was why they urgently ordered a batch from us. We didn't expect that... this was simply a trap."
His voice grew heavy: "We just found out, the Limitless Star Palace has united with the Immortal Alliance, Supreme Yin Sect, and other forces like Primordial Yang Sect, Great Sun Sword Sect, Taiyi Sect, and the Asia-Pacific Dynasty to announce a decision, imposing a comprehensive embargo on us, Nine Cauldrons Sect, affecting the purchase of materials for artifact refining, alchemy, and inscription. Without these materials, our efficiency in refining the three hundred flying swords will be greatly affected, and this order..."
He turned his gaze towards Alkaid.
"That order?"
The order was worth a billion.
Alkaid naturally made an appearance when the order was signed.
At the time, it was agreed that for each day overdue, a penalty of one percent of the order value had to be paid.
Xu Quexing even felt it was too much, but he thought that refining three hundred exterior-model Purple Cloud 15 Flying Swords in half a year was not a difficult task, so he didn't mind the fine print.
Now it seemed...
It was premeditated.
"This must be Limitless Star Palace's counterattack."
Alkaid said.
Li Qingshan nodded, "Moreover, it's a counterattack against our continuous seizing of their artifact refining market. I just didn't expect that the prestigious Supreme Yin Sect would team up with Limitless Star Palace to set us up like this."
"Which materials were affected? How severe is the impact?"
Alkaid asked.
Li Qingshan quickly provided a detailed list.
Upon hearing what Alkaid had said, Li Qingshan's eyes lit up slightly: "What method?"
Alkaid didn't speak but made a gesture, displaying someone's information directly.
"The elixirs I use most often are the Heavy Star Pill and the Yanli Sub-pill, among which the Heavy Star Pill, a Superior Grade Treasure Pill of the Third Generation, is the most important one for me. Within the entire Immortal Alliance, there are only three Alchemy Grandmasters capable of refining this type of elixir. We need to focus on this one, Grandmaster Xie He."
Alkaid calmly said: "This Alchemist originally belongs to the Stellar Sect. His family is quite wealthy, and later he was sent to study in the Immortal Alliance, where in eight years he revealed extraordinary alchemy talent. Merely at thirty, he could already refine Interior Grade Treasure Pills. With this ability, he wanted to return to his own sect and serve it, but to retain the Alchemy Grandmaster, the Immortal Alliance tried many methods to little avail. In the end, they directly sent someone disguised as a member of the Quicksand Sect to annihilate the Alchemist's entire family, reducing not only his family but also the city they resided in to ruins."
His words led Li Qingshan and the others to vaguely guess his plan.
"Do you have evidence in your hands?"
"Yes, as early as five or six years ago, when I was subject to others for elixirs, I had thought about whether I could invite an alchemist from the Immortal Alliance, so I've been paying attention to these alchemists' profiles, particularly Grandmaster Xie He who originally didn't belong to the Immortal Alliance. And for a Dharma Phase Cultivator, there is no such thing as a message they can't find if they seek."
Alkaid gave a slight smile: "I had this information sorted out half a year ago, and I also found the person who ordered the extermination of Xie He's entire family. He is none other than Liu Yisi, the current Deputy Director of the External Information Department of the Immortal Alliance's Penalty Hall. I think as long as we can infiltrate the Immortal Alliance, deliver this information to Xie He, and kill Deputy Director Liu Yisi, it should be enough to make this Alchemy Grandmaster serve us from then on."
After speaking, he glanced at Li Qingshan, then swept his eyes over several Hall Masters: "Now, it depends on whether we want to act. After all... even if I can do it very covertly, as long as the Immortal Alliance is determined to investigate, they will certainly be able to find out, and we, the Nine Cauldrons Sect... especially me, would be the biggest beneficiary."
"If we go ahead with this... you're likely to confront the Dharma Phase Cultivators of the Immortal Alliance; moreover, the secrets you hold would also be difficult to keep."
"Then I won't keep them," Alkaid said calmly, with a hint of confidence: "If the Dharma Phase Cultivators of the Immortal Alliance don't come, that's fine. If they do, I'll make them realize that someone has already surpassed them at the level of Dharma Phase."
Pausing, he added: "I'm sure that severely injuring a Dharma Phase Cultivator would certainly make the Immortal Alliance behave."
Li Qingshan was somewhat surprised: "You're that bold?"
"Hmm," Alkaid affirmed.
Feeling the terrifying energy within him like a blazing sun...
Although he wasn't the true master of this power, and there was an added layer of difficulty in utilizing and replenishing it, but...
No one could deny the apocalyptic power this energy could unleash when released.
This was an External Elixir!
It was an External Elixir refined with a Crimson Red Gold Core at its heart!
In the past five years, his Qi Refinement Cultivation was still only at the "Foundation Establishment" level, not even reaching the Unity Realm, because he had spent most of his time and effort on refining this External Elixir.
However... Your next chapter is on My Virtual Library Empire
Despite the delay in cultivation time, the results were very obvious.
With this External Elixir...
Plus the Stellar Power Field provided by "Divine Heart," he could finally wield some ability to defend himself.
Hearing Alkaid's reply, Li Qingshan contemplated for a moment before saying, "Are you confident?"
"It's not a big issue," Alkaid replied, smiling, "I don't believe the Immortal Alliance would start a full-scale war with our Nine Cauldrons Sect over just one Alchemist, especially... since we've already shown the capability to severely damage their strength."
"Then go ahead and do it," Li Qingshan said firmly: "Whatever support you need from us, just ask."
