Legend of Wyatt

No matter whether it was Elliott Lester, the top-grade alchemist of the Fuyang Immortal Sect, or Tahir Thomsen, the Vice Sect Leader of the Qianye Immortal Sect, the moment those three pills left the pill furnace and shot toward Wyatt Barnes, their Divine Senses had already extended out.

And before Wyatt caught those three pills, they had already probed the nature of those three pills, confirming that they were precisely the top-grade Immortal Pills, Rowan Heaven Pills!

Although three Rowan Heaven Pills did not count as a high success rate.

Even so, just a single Rowan Heaven Pill was enough to prove that this purple-clad young man before them possessed the ability to refine Rowan Heaven Pills.

Even if he had only refined one Rowan Heaven Pill, that wager—between their Fuyang Immortal Sect and the Qianye Immortal Sect—they had still lost!

"Rowan Heaven Pills!"

"He... actually really refined Rowan Heaven Pills?"

As the faces of Elliott Lester and Tahir Thomsen changed dramatically, the Sect Leaders of the two sects standing behind them, Walter Morin and Tobi Sinclair, also looked as ugly as could be.

A moment ago, they had still felt that victory was in their grasp.

The next moment, their hearts, which had seemed to be soaring in Heaven, instantly plunged into Hell; the difference was so great that they found it hard to accept.

"He actually... refined them?"

"With such poor alchemy skills, he still managed to refine a top-tier top-grade Immortal Pill like the Rowan Heaven Pill? This has to be a joke!"

"I originally thought that his top-grade immortal fire blocked my Divine Sense only because it carried some Heaven-and-Earth-bestowed power... but now it seems it might be because the grade of his top-grade immortal fire is so high that it can repel my Immortal Lord-level Divine Sense!"

"High-grade top-grade immortal fire? Impossible... If his top-grade immortal fire were that high-grade, would he have needed eleven hours just to heat the cauldron? And from the way he looked when he finished heating the cauldron back then, he was clearly a bit exhausted, very much forcing it."

...

Seeing Wyatt truly refine the top-grade Immortal Pill, the Rowan Heaven Pill, the crowd outside the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s shop was instantly filled with shock and disbelief.

Many alchemists, in their comments, were especially puzzled as to how Wyatt could refine Rowan Heaven Pills using such mediocre alchemy methods.

This completely shattered common sense!

At this moment, no one thought Wyatt was holding back.

First of all, Wyatt wasn’t that old, not even a hundred years of age; to have displayed the level of alchemy he just had was already rare.

Secondly, they didn’t think Wyatt had any need to conceal his strength.

"What a pity, those few Rowan Heaven Pills."

While everyone’s gazes once again fell on Wyatt, in Wyatt’s heart, he couldn’t help but let out a sigh.

This time, even though he had deliberately held back and hadn’t performed normally, he had still refined seven Rowan Heaven Pills.

However, he only took three.

The remaining four were still in the pill furnace, and because he didn’t retrieve them in time, all of them were burned to ashes by the third form of the Chaos Divine Fire.

Of course, any pills that weren’t taken out in time would be burned even by ordinary immortal fire.

"I just hope that at the upcoming Pill Tao Convention, the sacrifice of those four Rowan Heaven Pills can have some effect... At the very least, although they know that I, Wyatt, can refine Rowan Heaven Pills, they will also think that my success rate at refining Rowan Heaven Pills isn’t high."

Wyatt muttered to himself in his heart.

The reason he didn’t take out all seven Rowan Heaven Pills was precisely to hide his edge, to avoid exposing his Pill Tao strength too early.

Today, in refining Rowan Heaven Pills, he had only produced three pills.

This news would quickly spread throughout the entire Pill Tao City; by then, everyone in Pill Tao City would know.

With this as a premise, perhaps at the Pill Tao Convention he could even compete with other top-grade alchemists capable of refining Rowan Heaven Pills over their "success rates" in refining Rowan Heaven Pills.

At the Pill Tao Convention, the wagers between alchemists included bets on heating the cauldron, bets on success rates when refining the same Immortal Pill, and many other kinds of wagers, dazzling to the eye.

All of this had been told to Wyatt beforehand by Hunter Swayer.

"Sect Leader Morin, Sect Leader Sinclair... my thanks for your Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities."

A moment later, Wyatt came back to his senses, looked toward Walter Morin, Sect Leader of the Fuyang Immortal Sect, and Tobi Sinclair, Sect Leader of the Qianye Immortal Sect, and said with a slight smile.

Hearing this, although Walter Morin and Tobi Sinclair were so enraged they wanted to strike Wyatt down on the spot, they still held themselves back.

Not to mention that so many people were watching—they couldn’t afford to lose face by refusing to accept a bet they had lost—even the Elder Ancestor of the Taiyi Immortal Sect made them wary.

Although they, like the Elder Ancestor of Taiyi, were also "Gossips Immortal Lords."

The Elder Ancestor of Taiyi, however, was from an older generation of Gossips Immortal Lords, his strength far above theirs; even if the two of them joined forces, they still wouldn’t dare say they could definitely defeat the Elder Ancestor of Taiyi.

"Alchemist Barnes, you hid yourself really well... Now it seems Senior Beckham Ho wasn’t lying from the start. With your Pill Tao strength, you are indeed worthy of being the ’chief alchemist’ of the Taiyi Immortal Sect!"

Tobi Sinclair was the first to calm down before Walter Morin. He gave Wyatt a deep look and spoke.

At the same time, with a casual lift of his hand, he also shot out a Memory Immortal Talisman. The talisman streaked out at high speed, only stopping in the void before Wyatt Barnes.

Obviously, this Memory Immortal Talisman was the one that recorded the Monarch Level Divine Ability of Chinye Immortal Sect that combined attack speed and offense.

As Wyatt reached out and took the Memory Immortal Talisman, Tobi Sinclair finally turned his head, swept a faint glance at Tahir Thomsen, and said, "Deputy Sect Master Thomsen, let’s go back."

Although Tobi was trying hard to suppress the fire in his heart, the tone he used to call out to Tahir still faintly carried a streak of coldness.

"Yes, Sect Leader."

Hearing Tobi’s tone, Tahir immediately knew their Sect Leader of Chinye Immortal Sect, who rarely got angry, was truly enraged this time. He hurriedly responded and followed after Tobi as he strode out.

As Tahir moved, his two disciples, one male and one female, also quickly followed closely behind.

That male disciple named "Kami Duran," just before leaving, once again looked toward Wyatt Barnes. The disdain and ridicule in his eyes had completely vanished, replaced by a thick, wary dread.

A Top-grade Alchemist who could refine a Rowan Heaven Pill—even if his Immortal Dao strength was inferior to Kami’s—only needed to say a single word, and plenty of immortals stronger than Kami would be willing to make a move and kill him, just to sell Wyatt a favor.

"He... really isn’t even a hundred years old?"

Kami was still a bit dazed.

He truly couldn’t figure it out:

How could a brat under a hundred possibly be a Top-grade Alchemist who could refine Rowan Heaven Pills?

When the four people from Chinye Immortal Sect left, the onlookers immediately parted to clear a path, and even the whispering voices temporarily went silent.

Only after the four from Chinye Immortal Sect had gone far did they dare resume their hushed discussions:

"This time Chinye Immortal Sect really tried to steal a chicken and ended up losing the rice... They didn’t get any of Taiyi Immortal Sect’s three Monarch Level Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities, and instead lost one of their own Divine Abilities!"

"Sure, Chinye Immortal Sect only lost a single Monarch Level Divine Ability... but that Divine Ability is one that combines offense and attack speed! In terms of value, it’s no worse than Taiyi Immortal Sect’s three single-aspect Monarch Level Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities."

"And then there’s Fuyang Immortal Sect... Right now, Sect Leader Walter Morin of Fuyang Immortal Sect probably has the urge to kill that Elliott Lester, doesn’t he?"

"Honestly, it’s hard to blame Alchemist Lester for this, isn’t it? After all, even for us, no one could have imagined that this under-hundred Alchemist from Taiyi Immortal Sect would really be able to refine a Rowan Heaven Pill, that kind of top-tier Top-grade Immortal Pill!"

...

As everyone whispered, their gazes once again, unintentionally in unison, fell on Walter Morin, Sect Leader of Fuyang Immortal Sect, and on Elliott Lester, Fuyang Immortal Sect’s Top-grade Alchemist.

Hearing those whispers, Elliott carefully lifted his head and glanced at Walter, just in time to meet Walter’s slightly icy gaze.

"Sect Leader, I’m sorry... I—I didn’t know he could really refine a Top-grade Immortal Pill like Rowan Heaven Pill at under a hundred years of age."

Elliott sent a voice transmission to Walter to apologize.

Of course, although he apologized by transmission, inwardly he was grumbling, "It’s not like I was the only one who wanted to bet... If you hadn’t wanted to bet, I couldn’t have forced you."

Noticing Walter’s cold gaze directed at him, Elliott was also rather displeased, "Looks like after this Pill Tao grand gathering, there’s no need for me to stay in Fuyang Immortal Sect any longer."

Walter, of course, had no idea what was currently going through Elliott’s mind—otherwise he would probably have the urge to kill Elliott on the spot.

"Alchemist Lester, there’s no need to apologize... The responsibility for this lies not only with you, but also with me."

After a moment, Walter seemed to realize that sweeping Elliott with cold eyes was somewhat inappropriate, and hurriedly sent a voice transmission to smooth things over.

However, as for this attempt at smoothing things over, Elliott chose to selectively ignore it.

"Alchemist Barnes, you hid your strength really deep."

After handing a Memory Immortal Talisman that recorded Fuyang Immortal Sect’s Monarch Level Immortal Method, the one that combined offense and defense, to Wyatt Barnes, Walter gave him a deep look and said slowly.

At the same time, he sent a voice transmission to Wyatt, "Alchemist Barnes, after this Pill Tao grand gathering ends, you can consider switching over to our Fuyang Immortal Sect."

"Our Fuyang Immortal Sect is stronger than Taiyi Immortal Sect... we even have a Nine Palaces Immortal Lord! As long as you join our Fuyang Immortal Sect, we are willing to treat you as our chief Alchemist all the same."

"Moreover, whatever conditions you propose, as long as it’s within Fuyang Immortal Sect’s power, we absolutely won’t refuse!"

Through his voice transmission, Walter was clearly trying to draw Wyatt over to Fuyang Immortal Sect.

"Sect Leader Morin."

Hearing Walter’s voice transmission, Wyatt didn’t respond in kind. Instead, he spoke out loud directly, "You just said... as long as I join your Fuyang Immortal Sect, whatever conditions I propose, as long as it’s within your sect’s power, you won’t refuse?"

"Alchemist Barnes, you..."

Walter hadn’t expected Wyatt to expose his attempt to poach someone from Taiyi Immortal Sect in just a few casual sentences, and his face turned alternately green and pale.

After all, this wasn’t a very honorable matter.

At the same time, he could clearly sense the blade-like, sword-like cold gaze sweeping over from the Taiyi Elder Ancestor standing to the side.
