Legend of Wyatt

Elliott Lester’s words seemed to suggest that he believed Wyatt Barnes’s alchemy skills were insignificant.

"A slow heating cauldron doesn’t mean I can’t craft the Rowan Heaven Pill."

Hearing Elliott Lester’s words, Wyatt Barnes smiled faintly, then began to heat the cauldron under everyone’s watchful eyes. The third form of his chaotic Immortal Fire transformed into a gray lightning bolt, swiftly entering the pill furnace.

Whoosh!

Inside the pill furnace, the flames flared up.

Everything was within Wyatt Barnes’s control.

Meanwhile, the eyes of the surrounding crowd were all fixed on Wyatt Barnes’s pill furnace.

About fifteen minutes later, the crowd’s gaze gradually shifted away, while many of the mid-grade and low-grade alchemists that Elliott Lester had brought with him began whispering to each other:

"The length of time for heating the cauldron directly reflects the speed of heating... In our Southeastern Six Domains, no top-grade alchemist capable of crafting the Rowan Heaven Pill has a heating speed that exceeds seven hours."

"Exactly. The speed of heating the cauldron not only tests an alchemist’s grade of Immortal Fire but also their alchemy skills, both are significant factors."

"With high-grade Immortal Fire and high alchemy skills, the heating speed is naturally quick. If Wyatt Barnes’s heating speed exceeds seven hours, he definitely won’t be able to craft the Rowan Heaven Pill!"

"He just said his heating speed is over ten hours, didn’t he? With such a heating speed, dreaming of crafting the Rowan Heaven Pill is just wishful thinking!"

"Why even bother reasoning with him... he’s just a young guy under a hundred, lucky to have obtained top-grade Immortal Fire, do you really expect him to craft a top-grade Immortal Pill at his age?"

"Exactly! As he stands now, he probably can’t even craft an ordinary top-grade Immortal Pill, let alone the Rowan Heaven Pill, which is hailed as the pinnacle of top-grade Immortal Pills!"

...

Throughout the conversation among the mid-grade and low-grade alchemists, they further concluded that Wyatt Barnes could not craft the Rowan Heaven Pill!

And as alchemists, their words spread, making the disdainful glances directed at Wyatt from most people even more pronounced.

"I really don’t know what he’s thinking... if he can’t craft it, he can’t—just admit it, is there any need to waste time?"

"By wasting time, if he ultimately can’t craft it, it’ll just be even more embarrassing!"

"Exactly! If that happens, he’ll not only lose face for himself but also for the Tai Yi Immortal Sect!"

"I really don’t understand what relationship the Elder Ancestor of Tai Yi Immortal Sect has with him to protect him like this... Furthermore, they even took out three Monarch Level Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities of the Tai Yi Immortal Sect as stakes for him!"

...

The whispers of the onlookers clearly reached Wyatt Barnes’s ears, but he remained unfazed, without any intention of arguing.

What he needed to do now was to craft the Rowan Heaven Pill without revealing his true heating speed, winning the wager with the Fuyang Immortal Sect and Qianye Immortal Sect!

By then, he would win two Monarch Level Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities for the Tai Yi Immortal Sect, both being balanced in offense and defense.

Simultaneously, he would also have priority in comprehending those two Monarch Level Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities.

This was a promise made to him personally by the Sect Leader and Elder Ancestor of the Tai Yi Immortal Sect.

"Hmm?"

Meanwhile, Sect Leaders ’Walter Morin’ of the Fuyang Immortal Sect and ’Tobi Sinclair’ of the Qianye Immortal Sect turned their gaze towards the Elder Ancestor of the Tai Yi Immortal Sect once again, only to find a calm demeanor.

Neither his expression nor gaze showed any hint of losing the three Monarch Level Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities of the Tai Yi Immortal Sect...

Instantly, due to the Elder Ancestor’s composure, Walter Morin and Tobi Sinclair exchanged a look, and a profound sense of worry surfaced in their eyes once more.

"Sect Leader Tobi... Do you think there will be any unexpected changes?"

Walter Morin transmitted his voice.

"There shouldn’t be... The young man named ’Wyatt Barnes’ in purple clothes, both you and I have investigated with our Divine Sense, and he is indeed under a hundred years old."

"At this age, even with the luck to obtain top-grade Immortal Fire, it’s unlikely he possesses the alchemy skills to craft a top-grade Immortal Pill, let alone the Rowan Heaven Pill, which is such a pinnacle of top-grade Immortal Pills!"

Tobi Sinclair transmitted his voice in response to Walter Morin, also comforting himself.

"Let’s hope so... I just feel that this Beckham Ho from the Tai Yi Immortal Sect, along with their three top-grade alchemists, are inexplicably calm."

Walter Morin added.

Hearing this, Tobi Sinclair glanced at Hunter Swayer, Russel Yorke, and Joshua Davies, and indeed found the trio also looking calm, as if they weren’t worried at all about Wyatt Barnes failing to craft the Rowan Heaven Pill.

For a moment, the ominous feeling in Tobi Sinclair’s heart grew more intense.

"Let’s wait until he finishes heating the cauldron... Those alchemists also said so, in our Southeastern Six Domains, top-grade alchemists capable of crafting the Rowan Heaven Pill don’t have a heating speed exceeding seven hours."

"If his heating speed genuinely exceeds ten hours... he won’t be able to craft the Rowan Heaven Pill!"

Tobi Sinclair said.

"Yeah."

Upon hearing the words, Walter Morin’s agitated emotions gradually calmed down.

Outside the Taichi Immortal Sect’s shop, a crowd watched Wyatt Barnes heating the cauldron.

As time passed, fewer people spoke, each fixated on Wyatt Barnes, particularly the pill furnace in his hands.

However, at the periphery of the crowd, things were less calm, and disturbances erupted occasionally.

As time went by, the events here spread like a hurricane through the bustling market of Dan Dao City.

In no time, nearly everyone in the marketplace knew about what was happening at the entrance of the Taichi Immortal Sect’s shop.

In fact, after the news circulated through the market, as time continued to pass, it spread throughout Dan Dao City.

About seven or eight hours later, the events outside the Taichi Immortal Sect’s shop were known by everyone in Dan Dao City.

Except for those in secluded cultivation, there were few who hadn’t heard of it.

...

As one of the top sects in the Southeastern Six Domains, the ’Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect’ from the Desolate Territory also had its own residence in Dan Dao City within the Desolate Domain.

When the events outside the Taichi Immortal Sect’s shop were being widely discussed, it was no surprise that the news reached the residence of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect’s group.

"That pretty boy, not even a hundred years old, dares to boast about refining a top-grade Immortal Pill ’Rowan Heaven Pill’?"

In a spacious and elegantly quiet courtyard, the young girl in green initially showed shock and disbelief, then turned to disdain.

"Alisson, how many times have I told you... don’t be so rude!"

Almost as soon as the girl in green finished speaking, a beautiful woman in a purple dress nearby furrowed her brows and chastised her.

"Hee hee... Third Senior Sister, I was in a hurry and forgot to call him by his real name, Wyatt Barnes."

Faced with the chastisement from the woman in the purple dress, the girl in green giggled and said.

"Rowan Heaven Pill?"

"He... can refine Rowan Heaven Pill?"

And as the green-dressed girl giggled at the woman in purple, the last woman in the courtyard’s pupils slightly contracted, muttering, "No wonder Master mentioned before that they don’t know by what means the Taichi Immortal Sect accumulated a large batch of Rowan Heaven Pills."

"Turns out, he refined them!"

"No wonder... no wonder the Taichi Immortal Sect’s three top-grade alchemy Immortal Masters are so devoted to him, willingly respecting him as the chief alchemy Immortal Master of the Taichi Immortal Sect."

This woman, muttering to herself, showed an expression of sudden realization afterward.

"Sister Campbell... you’re not saying that pretty boy... Wyatt Barnes, can really refine Rowan Heaven Pills, are you?"

Though the last woman’s muttering wasn’t loud, in the quiet courtyard, it was particularly clear, causing the green-dressed girl to shudder and immediately look at her with a question.

The girl in green, none other than the disciple ’Alisson’ of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect.

As for the woman in purple who had just chastised her, she was her Third Senior Sister ’Milana Harrington’.

The woman who spoke last was Milana Harrington’s close friend, the disciple ’Annie Campbell’ of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect.

Upon hearing Annie Campbell’s murmur, when Alisson inquired of her, her gaze and expression were as if she’d seen a ghost.

And when Alisson questioned Annie Campbell, Milana Harrington’s gaze also fell on Annie Campbell.

Although she had long heard from Annie Campbell that the man was now the chief alchemy Immortal Master of the Taichi Immortal Sect in the Desolate Territory.

However, she was uncertain of that man’s alchemy proficiency.

Nor did she know that the man could refine such a top-grade Immortal Pill as the ’Rowan Heaven Pill’!

It should be known that even within their Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect, only one top-grade alchemy Immortal Master could refine the Rowan Heaven Pill.

And that top-grade alchemy Immortal Master held a status in the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect that, to some extent, was not below her Master’s.

"I can’t be a hundred percent certain... but, piecing together various clues, I’m more than eighty percent confident."

In response to Alisson’s inquiry, Annie Campbell said solemnly.

Back then, Wyatt Barnes inexplicably became the chief alchemy Immortal Master of the Taichi Immortal Sect, and surprisingly, the three top-grade alchemy Immortal Masters of the Taichi Immortal Sect did not object; rather, they seemed to willingly honor Wyatt Barnes as the chief alchemy Immortal Master of the Taichi Immortal Sect.

This incident became a major mystery in the Desolate Territory at that time, unsolvable by anyone.

Today, hearing of the events outside the Taichi Immortal Sect’s shop, combined with this significant mystery of the Desolate Territory, Annie Campbell experienced a sense of enlightenment.

"If he can indeed refine the Rowan Heaven Pill... then it’s not hard to explain why the Taichi Immortal Sect’s three top-grade alchemy Immortal Masters are so devoted to him."

"Nor is it hard to explain... why their sense of belonging to the Taichi Immortal Sect increased rather than diminished after he became the chief alchemy Immortal Master of the Taichi Immortal Sect!"
