Chapter 2617: The Retreat of the Immortals
After Wuya Immortal Emperor left satisfied with a bottle of Creation Pill, Fang Bai’s stall was immediately surrounded, the gaze of the Immortals on him full of fervor.
To have an Alchemist capable of crafting Superior Immortal Emperor Level Pills, such an Alchemist is rare in the Immortal Realm.
Such an Alchemist is someone even Immortal Emperor Realm peak experts must curry favor with, and even Immortal Emperors would give them a degree of respect.
After all, Alchemists with this ability typically have high Wuxing aside from their Dual Attribute Innate Spiritual Root. Who would dare say they can’t advance to the Emperor Realm Pill Master in the future?
An Immortal who reaches the Emperor Realm and holds the title of Pill Master, even those supreme top-tier Immortal Emperors in the Immortal Realm would vie to befriend them.
The news that Wushuang Immortal Emperor can craft Superior Immortal Emperor Level Creation Pills spread like wildfire throughout Bluewater Immortal City, thrilling millions of immortals.
Especially those immortals urgently needing Superior Immortal Emperor Level Pills to aid in their cultivation, they moved upon hearing the news, flocking to the Cultivation Resource Exchange Market.
These immortals are primarily High Rank and Immortal Emperor Realm Peak experts. Normally elusive as Divine Dragons, they rarely appear before other immortals, but now they gathered in the Cultivation Resource Exchange Market, making quite a lively scene, a rare spectacle since the city was built.
This situation persisted until the Carefree Immortal Emperor returned.
"Why is the Cultivation Resource Exchange Market so lively? What has happened?"
Returning to the Carefree Palace, the Carefree Immortal Emperor’s Divine Sense enveloped the city and, upon discovering the scene at the market, slightly frowned and asked several disciples beside him.
"Reporting to Master, during your absence from the Immortal City, an Immortal with the title of Wushuang Immortal Emperor visited our city..."
Wuya Immortal Emperor stepped out to recount the tale of Fang Bai entering Bluewater Immortal City, finally saying, "Not only is Wushuang Immortal Emperor’s alchemy technique exceptionally high, but he also masters formations..."
"Oh?"
Hearing the word "formation," the Carefree Immortal Emperor’s eyes lit up with interest, "For you to use the term ’master’, it seems Wushuang Immortal Emperor’s expertise in the Array Path is indeed extraordinary. Please, tell me more..."
Wuya Immortal Emperor said, "Due to the long years and your recent absence from the Immortal City, some Immortals invited Wushuang Immortal Emperor to repair formations you set up in some Immortal Residences..."
"I originally thought the formations Master set were so intricate, how could Wushuang Immortal Emperor manage to repair them? Yet, unexpectedly, he succeeded..."
The Carefree Immortal Emperor, typically prideful of his Array Path, was greatly astonished hearing Wuya Immortal Emperor’s words.
"According to you, although his cultivation level is merely mid-Immortal Emperor Realm, he can craft Superior Immortal Emperor Level Pills and holds profound expertise in the Array Path... Truly a rare and wondrous Immortal..."
The Carefree Immortal Emperor said this, stood up abruptly, waved a large hand, and said to Wuya Immortal Emperor, "Come, let us take a trip to the Cultivation Resource Market!"
Seeing his Master wanting to meet Fang Bai personally, Wuya Immortal Emperor hurriedly said, "Master, if you wish to see Fang Bai, why go in person? Allow me to go and invite him..."
The Carefree Immortal Emperor waved his hand, saying, "Going personally shows sincerity!"
Wuya Immortal Emperor was moved, "Master means..."
The Carefree Immortal Emperor chuckled lightly, "If Wushuang Immortal Emperor truly possesses such skills, recruiting him to serve me, wouldn’t it be wonderful?"
Wuya Immortal Emperor’s eyes lit up and he praised, "Master’s words make sense! Wushuang Immortal Emperor can practice alchemy, understands formations, and is youthful with a Dual Attribute Innate Spiritual Root. His potential on the Immortal Dao is boundless. If he wishes to join us, it will greatly aid in our future unification of the Immortal... cough, immensely beneficial indeed!"
The Carefree Immortal Emperor’s eyes flashed sharply as he gazed at him, sternly asking, "Unification of the Immortal what? What nonsense are you talking?"
Wuya Immortal Emperor, realizing he misspoke, bowed his head in panic, "Disciple... disciple was talking nonsense..."
The Carefree Immortal Emperor lightly snorted, gazing beyond the great hall, leisurely saying, "Some things are best kept in the heart; spoken aloud, they may invite great trouble! Our current strength compared to the top-tier forces in the Immortal Realm still lacks much. We must continue to refine and gather strength! However, this situation shall soon be transformed..."
He said this, slightly raising his brows, face showing an expression of satisfaction and pride, "Before long, our strength shall greatly surge, surpassing the top-tier forces in both quantity and quality. By then, the entire Immortal Realm... hehehe... hahahaha..."
"Master is mighty!"
Present Wuya Immortal Emperor and the various Immortals, seeing their Master so exuberant, swiftly began flattering him.
......
At this moment, in the Alchemy Room within the Cultivation Resource Exchange Market, Fang Bai seemed to sense something and stopped his alchemy, deep in thought.
"That Carefree Immortal Emperor... finally coming, isn’t he?"
Fang Bai mumbled a sentence, then after a moment, with a batch of freshly crafted Immortal Pills, slowly walked out.
"Today’s alchemy ends here. Fellow Immortals, please return."
Fang Bai handed the Immortal Pills to a High Rank Immortal Emperor expert, cupping his hands as he spoke.
"Wushuang Immortal Emperor, it’s still early today, why stop then?"
Some Immortals felt puzzled, speaking up to ask.
Fang Bai chuckled and said, "Because..."
"Carefree Immortal Emperor arrival, to meet with Wushuang Immortal Emperor. All Immortals disperse..."
Fang Bai’s words were interrupted by a solemn, cold voice, and right after, a pressure descended.
That pressure felt as if the void collapsed, like sea waves overturning, pressing the Immortals near to suffocation, and upon hearing the words "Carefree Immortal Emperor," their faces changed.
As the lord of Bluewater Immortal City, Carefree Immortal Emperor’s mighty reputation holds a powerful deterrent. Upon hearing the word "disperse," all Immortals in the Cultivation Resource Exchange Market dared not linger, each flying away.
In an instant, the market that could hold nearly ten thousand Immortals only had Fang Bai, Fengyu Immortal Fairy, and several others left, empty and silent.
"Immortal Friend Wushuang, we..."
Fengyu Immortal Fairy and the other five Immortals, standing behind Fang Bai, upon hearing Carefree Immortal Emperor would arrive soon, similarly had changed expressions. They exchanged glances, showing determination, and clenched fists stood behind Fang Bai.
They now belonged to the same team as Fang Bai, agreeing to share joy and face difficulties together, confronting perilous events jointly advancing or retreating.
They didn’t know why Carefree Immortal Emperor sought Fang Bai, feeling uneasy and even a bit fearful, yet resolved to stay firm.
"It should be... nothing good, right..."
Fang Bai turned back to look at Fengyu Immortal Fairy and the other five Immortals, smiling as he spoke.
