Legend of Wyatt

"The troublemakers are here!"

When the voice of the middle-aged man came in, everyone from the Taiyi Immortal Sect within the shop quickly reacted.

Hunter Swayer, Russel Yorke, and Joshua Davies immediately stepped out of the shop.

"Who dares to cause a ruckus at our Taiyi Immortal Sect’s shop?"

Hunter Swayer, as he walked out, spoke coldly, his icy tone filled with burning anger.

"Hunter Swayer, don’t tell me you don’t recognize me anymore?"

Outside the shop door, the middle-aged man dressed in a green robe, with a face full of freckles, looked calmly at Hunter Swayer, who emerged with a face full of anger, and spoke indifferently.

"I was wondering who it was... turns out it’s the defeated opponent from thirty years ago."

Hunter Swayer walked out of the shop, and upon seeing the man in the green robe, the anger on his face disappeared, replaced by calm indifference, with words of nonchalance, seeming uninterested.

Giving the impression of not taking the man in the green robe seriously.

"Hunter Swayer, thirty years ago, it was just a momentary lapse that led to my defeat by your hands. Don’t get smug! At this Pill Tao conference, I will defeat you so that peers of the Southeast Six Regions will know... you, Hunter Swayer, are not as good as me, Elliott Lester!"

The man in the green robe spoke with a grim expression.

"Elliott Lester?"

Almost as the green-robed man’s words fell, inside the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s shop, the Elder Ancestor, sitting across from Wyatt Barnes and Leilany at a wooden table, slightly raised his eyebrows, "So it’s him."

"Who is he?"

Wyatt Barnes asked curiously.

"He is a top-grade alchemist of the ’Fuyang Immortal Sect’ from the Shadow Domain, one of the four major sects of the Shadow Domain... I’ve heard from the Sect Leader that thirty years ago at the Pill Tao conference, he competed in alchemy with Alchemist Swayer and was defeated by a slight disadvantage, losing a pill formula."

The Elder Ancestor said, "I’ve only heard of his fame in the past, today is my first time seeing him."

The Elder Ancestor spoke while calmly watching from inside the shop, observing the developments outside.

"So that’s it... this Elliott Lester definitely harbors ill intentions."

As Wyatt Barnes came to a realization, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Speaking of which, a hundred years ago, the Fuyang Immortal Sect also had a significant conflict with our Taiyi Immortal Sect... thus, for over a century, tensions have been high between our Taiyi Immortal Sect and Fuyang Immortal Sect."

"Lester dared to come here today precisely because of this... he knows that Fuyang Immortal Sect won’t let him be at a disadvantage before our Taiyi Immortal Sect people."

The Elder Ancestor continued.

"I thought... how could a mere alchemist dare come here to cause trouble, turns out he’s relying on the backing of Fuyang Immortal Sect."

Wyatt Barnes opened his eyes again, and when he looked at the green figure outside the shop, his eyes filled with ridicule.

As if looking at a ’jumping clown.’

"Do you think I, Hunter Swayer, would be afraid of you?"

Outside the shop, facing Elliott Lester’s provocation, Hunter Swayer coldly laughed, "Twenty days from now, at the Pill Tao conference, I’ll be waiting for you to compete with me!"

"For now, take your people and get lost! Don’t disrupt our Taiyi Immortal Sect’s business!"

As he spoke, Hunter Swayer coldly shouted, his icy voice making one feel as if they were falling into an ice cellar.

"Hmph!"

Elliott Lester snorted coldly and said directly, "Hunter Swayer, I didn’t come today to challenge you... our matters will be settled at the Pill Tao conference twenty days from now."

"Today, I’m here representing the top sects of the Southeast Six Regions, ordering your Taiyi Immortal Sect to take down the top-grade Immortal Pill ’Rowan Heaven Pill’! Your Taiyi Immortal Sect cannot produce the Rowan Heaven Pill, so you have no right to sell it in Pill Tao City!"

Elliott Lester stated his purpose for coming this time.

"I suppose... Deputy Sect Master Thomsen is here for this matter too?"

As he spoke, Elliott Lester looked at the leader of another group who came along.

That group, unlike Elliott Lester’s, was less numerous.

The group only consisted of three people, led by an old man in a new Dao robe, holding a whisk, with a goatee that made him look like an old Taoist who had achieved enlightenment.

Behind him, followed a pair of young men and women.

"This old Taoist, named ’Tahir Thomsen’, is the Vice Sect Leader of the Chiba Immortal Sect from the Light Field, whose strength is second only to the Sect Leader and the two Elder Ancestors of the Chiba Immortal Sect. He is a ’Seven Stars Immortal Lord’."

Inside the shop, the Elder Ancestor said to Wyatt Barnes.

"Vice Sect Leader of the Chiba Immortal Sect from the Light Field?"

Wyatt Barnes raised his brows, looking at the Elder Ancestor and asked, "Elder Ancestor, does this Chiba Immortal Sect have any conflicts with our Taiyi Immortal Sect?"

"That is not the case."

The Elder Ancestor of Taichi Sect shook his head, "Our Taichi Sect and the Chiba Sect have always minded our own business... This time, this Tahir Thomsen came, probably because he heard that we are selling the Top-grade Immortal Pill ’Rowan Heaven Pill’, so he wants to investigate the truth."

Wyatt Barnes nodded.

"Indeed."

Outside the shop, in response to Elliott Lester’s inquiry, Tahir Thomsen nodded, then looked at Hunter Swayer and said with a smile, "Alchemist Swayer, as far as I know, your sect has a total of three Top-grade Alchemy Immortal Masters... yet none of the three seem capable of refining the Top-grade Immortal Pill ’Rowan Heaven Pill’."

"Could it be... that over these thirty years, someone in your sect has become an alchemist who can refine the Rowan Heaven Pill?"

As he spoke, Tahir Thomsen’s eyes flashed with a hint of curiosity, but more with a strong sense of mockery.

The three Top-grade Alchemy Immortal Masters of the Taichi Sect were the three people before him, whom he had met several times.

He also knew that with the Top-grade Immortal Flames they possessed, even if they obtained the Rowan Heaven Pill recipe and mastered the methods to refine it, they still couldn’t do it...

To refine the Rowan Heaven Pill, beyond the recipe and exquisite skills, one also needs a certain level of ’Top-grade Immortal Flame’!

All three elements are indispensable.

He naturally wouldn’t think that Hunter Swayer and the others had acquired another Top-grade Immortal Flame in recent years, because generally, those with a Top-grade Immortal Flame would not even dream of subduing another, even a better one.

That’s because a better Top-grade Immortal Flame would repel them as soon as it senses the Immortal Flame inside them.

There used to be some Top-grade Alchemy Immortal Masters, who upon discovering a higher-grade Top-grade Immortal Flame than theirs, tried to forcibly subdue it and replace theirs...

But in the end, nine out of ten only met one outcome:

Death and destruction!

As they forced the subjugation, the Immortal Flame resisted to the death and exploded.

The explosion of a Top-grade Immortal Flame can kill an Immortal Lord expert, and at close range, even a Ten Directions Immortal Lord faces nine deaths and one life...

Thus, in such situations, only Top-grade Alchemy Immortal Masters above the ’Immortal King’ level can survive.

Therefore, Tahir Thomsen doesn’t believe Hunter Swayer and his companions can refine the Rowan Heaven Pill, unless one of them obtained the ’Supreme Immortal Flame’.

But, is that possible?

The Supreme Immortal Flame appears less than once every ten thousand years in the history of the Southeastern Six Domains...

If one of Hunter Swayer’s group had obtained the Supreme Immortal Flame, the news would have already spread throughout the Southeastern Six Domains, and the birth of a ’Supreme Alchemy Immortal Master’ would shake the entire region!

Therefore, unless the Taichi Sect recruited an alchemist capable of refining the Rowan Heaven Pill in the past thirty years, it is absolutely impossible for anyone in the sect to do so.

But, would an alchemist, who can refine the Rowan Heaven Pill, join the Taichi Sect?

The answer is no!

In the Southeastern Six Domains, alchemists capable of refining Rowan Heaven Pill are all gathered within the Universal Domain, Crossing Region, Light Field, and Shadow Domain...

In the Desolate Territory and Desolate Domain, even if you go back ten thousand years, no alchemist capable of refining the Rowan Heaven Pill has ever appeared.

Such alchemists, in the Southeastern Six Domains, are ’Guests of Honor’ in any top sect they go to.

They wouldn’t stoop to join the weaker top sects in Desolate Territory and Desolate Domain because the benefits there are far less than those they could obtain elsewhere.

As such, Tahir Thomsen, like Elliott Lester, believes there is no alchemist in the Taichi Sect who can refine the Rowan Heaven Pill...

Taichi Sect openly selling the Rowan Heaven Pill violates the rules jointly set by the top sects of the Southeastern Six Domains!

As Vice Sect Leader of the Light Field Chiba Sect, he naturally cannot ignore this.

After all, their Chiba Sect also played a part in setting that rule among the top sects of the Southeastern Six Domains.

"Deputy Sect Master Thomsen is wise... Over the past thirty years, we at the Taichi Sect have indeed acquired an alchemist capable of refining the Top-grade Immortal Pill ’Rowan Heaven Pill’."

Even though he saw the mocking look in Tahir Thomsen’s eyes, Hunter Swayer acted as if he hadn’t seen it and responded with a smile.

"Oh?"

Hearing Hunter Swayer’s words, Tahir Thomsen’s eyes flashed as his gaze swept past the three of them and onto the shop of Taichi Sect, "May I ask if that alchemist is in your shop?"

"If so, could you please introduce them, Alchemist Swayer?"

Tahir Thomsen said with a faint smile.

However, his face and eyes were still filled with incredulity.

"Vice Sect Leader Thomsen, he will definitely say that their Taichi Sect’s alchemist is not present... He might even say that their alchemist did not come to the Pill Tao City this time and does not plan to participate in the Pill Dao Conference!"

Before Hunter Swayer could speak, Elliott Lester spoke as if he could predict the future.
