Legend of Wyatt

Elliott Lester spoke, then looked at Hunter Swayer with a mocking smile.

"Because their Taiyi Sect didn’t recruit any top-grade alchemy masters capable of refining the ’Rowan Heaven Pill’!"

"Which top-grade alchemy master capable of refining the Rowan Heaven Pill isn’t highly sought after by major sects... How could such an alchemist possibly care about the Taiyi Sect!"

"In my opinion, he’s just trying to find an excuse for their Taiyi Sect’s shop to sell Rowan Heaven Pills... After all, we can’t possibly venture into the Desolate Territory now to see if they really have such an alchemist."

As Elliott Lester spoke, his mocking smile grew even more pronounced.

"Fortunately, the foresight of the ancestors of the top-tier sects was wise, as they anticipated fake practices like this... Therefore, the rule established back then was: In Pill Tao City, the pills sold in the shops of the top-tier sects must be made by alchemists attending the Pill Tao Conference!"

"In other words... let’s not talk about whether your Taiyi Sect has such a top-grade alchemy master capable of refining Rowan Heaven Pills, even if you do, you can’t sell Rowan Heaven Pills unless he came."

Elliott Lester looked at Hunter Swayer, his mocking smile ever-present, his eyes filled with a sense of triumph.

It seemed as if he was showing off to those around him how clever he was.

"Such is the rule."

As Elliott Lester finished speaking, Tahir Thomsen nodded and looked at Hunter Swayer, saying, "Alchemist Swayer, even if your sect truly has such an alchemist, unless he participates in the Pill Tao Conference, you cannot sell Rowan Heaven Pills."

"As Alchemist Lester said, the pills sold in the shops of top-tier sects in Pill Tao City must be produced by alchemists attending the Pill Tao Conference from that sect."

Tahir Thomsen emphasized again at the end.

Almost as if he was afraid Hunter Swayer was unaware of this rule.

"What’s going on?!"

"Isn’t this the Taiyi Sect’s shop? Who dares to cause trouble here?"

...

As time passed, more and more people gathered in front of the Taiyi Sect’s shop, making it increasingly lively.

Those unaware might think the Taiyi Sect’s shop was giving away pills or medicinal materials for free...

Otherwise, how could the Taiyi Sect’s shop typically be this bustling?

"The leaders of these two groups are not simple... One group’s leader is the top-grade alchemist Elliott Lester from the Shadow Domain’s Fuyang Immortal Sect. The other’s is the Deputy Sect Master Tahir Thomsen from the Light Field’s Qianye Sect."

"It’s understandable for Fuyang Immortal Sect to come... There has been ongoing friction between them and the Taiyi Sect for the last hundred years. But why is Qianye Sect here to join the commotion? There’s no known conflict between Qianye Sect and Taiyi Sect, right?"

"You might not know this... They’ve come because of the Taiyi Sect’s shop selling Rowan Heaven Pills!"

"Rowan Heaven Pills? The Taiyi Sect’s shop is selling Rowan Heaven Pills?"

"Haha... you might not know, but early this morning when the Taiyi Sect’s shop opened, they started selling Rowan Heaven Pills, and at a cheaper price than others. As a result, more and more people are coming here to buy Rowan Heaven Pills."

...

Outside the Taiyi Sect’s shop, the crowd grew larger, with everyone gradually understanding why the people from Fuyang Immortal Sect and Qianye Sect were here.

"To my knowledge... the Taiyi Sect hasn’t had a top-grade alchemist capable of refining top-grade Rowan Heaven Pills, has it? At least thirty years ago, or even further back, the Taiyi Sect had never sold Rowan Heaven Pills in Pill Tao City."

"Moreover, there are rules established by the major sects of the six southeastern domains... any top-tier sect’s shop can only sell pills that alchemists of that sect attending the Pill Tao Conference can refine."

"Could it be that in the past thirty years, the Taiyi Sect recruited a top-grade alchemist capable of refining Rowan Heaven Pills, and that alchemist has come to Pill Tao City to participate in this Pill Tao Conference?"

"Unless that’s the case... the Taiyi Sect is in big trouble this time!"

"Yeah. Open defiance of the rules set by the major sects isn’t trivial... a single misstep could lead to an all-out attack by the major sects!"

...

The onlookers whispered and discussed, their thoughts aligning closely with Tahir Thomsen’s earlier belief that the Taiyi Sect wasn’t capable of recruiting a top-grade alchemist who could refine Rowan Heaven Pills.

Moreover, they believed that the Taiyi Sect’s original three top-grade alchemists couldn’t possibly refine Rowan Heaven Pills.

"This time... the Taiyi Sect is likely in trouble."

"I really don’t know what the Taiyi Sect was thinking... Even if they had access to a large quantity of Rowan Heaven Pills, they didn’t have to sell them in Pill Tao City, did they?"

"Exactly! Are they really worried the Desolate Territory can’t absorb the Rowan Heaven Pills they have?"

...

Later, many people shook their heads, feeling that the Taiyi Sect was violating the rules jointly set by the major sects of the six southeastern domains, believing the Taiyi Sect had caused trouble for itself this time!

Hearing the onlookers’ words, Elliott Lester’s sense of triumph grew even stronger, as he provocatively looked at Hunter Swayer.

It seemed as if he wanted to see:

How Hunter Swayer would handle him and Tahir Thomsen next.

In his view, Hunter Swayer had already reached a dead end.

"Deputy Sect Master Thomsen, I am aware of the rules you mentioned..."

Facing Tahir Thomsen’s aggressive stance following Elliott Lester, Hunter Swayer said calmly, "If the top-grade alchemist capable of concocting the Rowan Heaven Pill from our Taiyi Immortal Sect doesn’t show up this time, our sect certainly wouldn’t dare sell the Rowan Heaven Pill openly."

"Oh?"

While Elliott Lester was momentarily stunned by Hunter Swayer’s words, Tahir Thomsen looked at Hunter Swayer with great surprise, "Alchemist Swayer, are you saying... that the top-grade alchemist from your Taiyi Immortal Sect who can concoct the Rowan Heaven Pill has also arrived?"

"Of course."

Hunter Swayer nodded, "Moreover, they are inside the shop right now."

"Elliott Lester, who are you trying to fool?"

At the same time, Elliott Lester regained his composure and said with disdain, "Don’t think that I don’t know who your Taiyi Immortal Sect brought this time... Aside from the three of you, there is only your sect’s Elder Ancestor, a young lad, and a rather good-looking young woman."

"Are you suggesting... that the top-grade alchemist from your Taiyi Immortal Sect, capable of concocting the Rowan Heaven Pill, traveled separately from you, and hence didn’t enter the city with you?"

As he spoke, Elliott Lester’s face once again showed a deep sneer.

A few days ago, the group from Taiyi Immortal Sect had just entered the city and had a confrontation with the Junior Sect Master of Xuantian Immortal Sect...

This matter had already spread throughout Pill Tao City.

Elliott Lester had heard about it long before.

Because of this, he knew who came from Taiyi Immortal Sect this time.

"Haha..."

Almost as soon as Hunter Swayer finished speaking, a hearty laugh came from the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s shop.

Next, an old and elderly figure emerged from the shop and appeared before the crowd.

"Deputy Sect Master Thomsen, long time no see."

The person who appeared was the Elder Ancestor from Taiyi Immortal Sect. After exiting the shop, he looked at Tahir Thomsen and greeted him.

As for Elliott Lester beside him, he didn’t even acknowledge, nor did he spare a glance.

Behind the Elder Ancestor, Leilany intimately held Wyatt Barnes’s hand as they slowly walked out of the shop entrance together.

"Elder Beckham Ho."

Upon seeing the Elder Ancestor, Tahir Thomsen dared not be as casual as he had been with the three others, his expression straightening as he hurriedly folded his hands in respect.

In terms of seniority, the Elder Ancestor was above him.

Moreover, the other’s cultivation was higher than his, and his strength was greater.

Thus, facing the Elder Ancestor, he dared not be neglectful.

"You two, hurry and pay respects to Elder Beckham Ho. Elder Beckham Ho is the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s Elder Ancestor and a powerful figure at the ’Gossips Immortal Lord’ level!"

While returning the salute to the Elder Ancestor, Tahir Thomsen glanced at the young couple behind him, urging them softly.

However, the young couple behind him seemed oblivious to his words.

They stood there, gazing intently at the area behind the Elder Ancestor.

Currently, outside the shop, including the top-grade alchemist ’Elliott Lester’ from the Shadow Domain Fuyang Immortal Sect, a large group of people also seemed captivated, staring at the area behind the Elder Ancestor.

It was as if there was a legendary treasure behind the Elder Ancestor.

And the focus of their gaze was none other than ’Leilany,’ who was holding Wyatt Barnes’s arm and walking out of the shop with him.

"She... she is the woman who caused the Junior Sect Master of Xuantian Immortal Sect to lose his composure and become enraged a few days ago?"

"I’ve long heard that among the people from Taiyi Immortal Sect this time is a woman with unparalleled beauty... Seeing her today, she indeed lives up to her reputation! Even surpasses what I imagined... I never thought there could be such a legendary beauty in the world!"

"In nearly a thousand years of life, this is the first time I’ve seen such a beauty... The so-called beauties I’ve seen in the past are nothing compared to her!"

...

Without the veil and hat, no matter where she goes, Leilany remains the absolute focal point.

And this moment is no exception.

"Such a beautiful woman!"

Even Elliott Lester, who approached with ill intentions, found his gaze captivated by Leilany, struggling to look away.

"No wonder Gang and Hui lost their focus... This kind of legendary beauty, in my younger years, upon seeing her, I too would certainly be unable to look away, possibly even lose my mind over her!"

At this moment, even Tahir Thomsen was astonished by Leilany’s beauty.
