Farewell, Old Ancestor!
More than two weeks later.
The Pill Pavilion Secret Realm.
Three Golden Core Stage Alchemist from the Star Luo Pill Pavilion eagerly watched the Alchemy Furnace.
Buzz!
It was accompanied by a soft chime.
An invisible aura of Pill emanated from the area.
True Man He's face lit up with joy, and he gently opened the Pill Furnace Lid.
Inside the Alchemy Furnace, ten purple Spirit Pills were spinning rapidly.
A faint purple mist rose into the air.
The Nine Revolutions Purple Mansion Pill, this Fourth-Tier Upper-Grade Spirit Pills, has finally been made!
Congratulations!
"Pavilion Master, it's finally done!"
Congratulations!
True Man He waved his hand, and ten Nine Revolutions Purple Mansion Pill flew into the air.
After a moment's thought, True Man He divided the pills into two Spirit Pills, five pills in each bottle.
One bottle was given to the Feng Family Ancestor, and the other was kept for himself.
This is a basic procedure for Alchemist: they don't charge fees for refining pills for others, but they have to keep a portion of the Spirit Pills for themselves.
This is considered an unspoken rule in the alchemy industry, unless it is agreed in advance that all the Spirit Pills need to be refined, in which case the price will be calculated separately.
"The Feng Family Ancestor cannot wait much longer. I will personally go to the Feng Family now. Please wait for my news," said True Man He.
Tong Liu and Qian Lu nodded solemnly.
It's been almost twenty days since then. Hopefully, nothing unexpected has happened to the Feng Family Ancestor.
True Man He left the Pill Pavilion Secret Realm via teleportation and soon appeared in Heavenly Star City.
The Feng Family's residence is located in the very center of Heavenly Star City. Because of its large area and the fact that they built their own small city walls, which are engraved with many phoenix images.
Therefore, the Feng Family's residence was also known as Little Phoenix City.
Even if one arrives in Little Phoenix City as True Man He, one would generally need to wait for notification before being allowed entry.
But today is different; True Man He is carrying a special Jade Talisman bestowed upon him by the Feng Family.
After briefly displaying the Jade Talisman at the city gate, Feng Family Cultivator guarding the gate quickly led True Man He Crane into the interior of the compound.
True Man He was following this Cultivator from the Feng Family. Streaks of Escape Light by, all of them being Golden Core Stage Cultivator from the Feng Family.
The Feng Family alone has as many as fifteen members at the Golden Core Stage, which demonstrates the strength of the Feng Family.
The Feng Family's characteristics are very noticeable: golden pupils, blackish-red hair, and a strong aura of Fire Attribute Spiritual Qi energy surrounding them.
Those Cultivator inherited the Feng Family Bloodline are all powerful individuals with Fire Attribute Divine Ability.
At this moment, all the Feng Family Cultivator were staring intently at True Man He.
Although they didn't speak, one could sense their excitement.
Now, the Old Ancestor is saved!
"True Man He, come with me." A young man from the Feng Family, Golden Core Stage, spoke up.
Previously, True Man He had made an agreement with the Feng Family that he would only come to the Feng Family after he had refined the Nine Revolutions Purple Mansion Pill.
Therefore, now that True Man He is here, this young man naturally understands that True Man He has successfully refined the Nine Revolutions Purple Mansion Pill.
This young man, who appears to be a youth, is actually the current Feng Family Head, named Feng Lingchen. He is a direct descendant of the Feng Family Ancestor and has a cultivation level of Late Golden Core stage.
Feng Lingchen led True Man He to a residence within the encampment.
The two quickly rushed into the courtyard.
This residence was the place where the Feng Family Ancestor cultivated, and it was meticulously arranged with layers of formations.
True Man He followed obediently behind him, opened a Magic Array, and entered the next level.
After passing through several floors in a row.
Feng Lingchen suddenly stopped in his tracks.
"True Man He, you're too late." Feng Lingchen uttered these startling words.
"Hmm? Too late? What does that mean... Could it be that the Old Ancestor..." True Man He hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Feng Lingchen nodded. "That's right, the Old Ancestor Passing into Nirvana three days ago."
True Man He froze on the spot, wondering what had just happened—that cheerful scene that had greeted him.
Upon further reflection, True Man He understood that Feng Lingchen did not intend to spread the news of the Feng Family Ancestor's Passing into Nirvana.
"Could it be that only you and I know about the Old Ancestor's Passing into Nirvana?" True Man He asked tentatively.
Feng Lingchen nodded again under the watchful gaze of True Man He.
"You know, I know, and perhaps even Heavenly Dao knows."
True Man He suddenly felt an immense burden on his shoulders.
"This... this..."
"I have failed the trust placed in me by the Old Ancestor," True Man He thought with deep regret.
"You and your Disciple have done enough." Feng Lingchen shook his head. With the strength of the Feng Family, and with the intention of paying attention to their territory, he had naturally seen what True Man He had done during this period.
True Man He even personally dispatched his own talented Disciple, risking everything to find a way to obtain a second portion of the spirit medicine for the Feng Family, showing that he held nothing back.
Before his Passing into Nirvana, the Feng Family Ancestor left a will forbidding Feng Lingchen from blaming True Man He and the Star Luo Pill Pavilion.
"What should we do next?"
"The Alchemy Street is probably in trouble!" True Man He didn't say this aloud. As the Pavilion Master of the Star Luo Pill Pavilion, he was naturally concerned about the Alchemy Street.
Feng Lingchen said, "If the news of the Old Ancestor's Passing into Nirvana leaks out, the Heavenly Star Alliance, including your Alchemy Street, will be in big trouble."
"Therefore, we should keep this a secret for as long as possible. After some time, I will enter Secret Realm for secluded cultivation, where I will either reach the Nascent Soul or die under the Heavenly Tribulation."
Upon hearing this, True Man He felt a surge of admiration for Feng Lingchen. Feng Lingchen's actions could be described as a desperate gamble.
"I wonder how long the news of the Old Ancestor's Passing into Nirvana can be kept secret." True Man He hesitated.
Feng Lingchen patted True Man He on the shoulder. "So your visit today is a great gift to the Feng Family."
"If you fail to refine the [Nine Revolutions Purple Mansion Pill] this time, the news of the Old Ancestor's Passing into Nirvana will no longer be able to be concealed within a month."
"Today you entered the Feng Family openly and honestly, bringing the [Nine Revolutions Purple Mansion Pill]. If things are handled properly, it's possible to conceal the news of the Old Ancestor's Passing into Nirvana for a year or two."
"Don't you Alchemist have a basic technique called 'leaving some pills at the bottom'?"
"True Man He, after you return today, I'll need to trouble you with something." Feng Lingchen's gaze was intense.
True Man He, being a seasoned veteran, pondered for a moment before nodding, "After returning, I'll arrange to sell a few [Nine Revolutions Purple Mansion Pill] and try to spread the news that I successfully refined the [Nine Revolutions Purple Mansion Pill]."
"No wonder the Old Ancestor always said that he enjoyed working with you, True Man He True Man He, and greatly admired you!"
"I hope that in the future True Man He will continue to work with my Feng Family to Commander the Star Luo Pill Pavilion and make the Alchemy Street even more prosperous," Feng Lingchen said.
True Man He waved his hands repeatedly. "It is the Feng Family and your Family Head who have helped to look after our Star Luo Pill Pavilion."
"Family Head, I have a favor to ask."
Feng Lingchen said, "Speak."
True Man He spoke, "I have known the Old Ancestor for over a hundred years. Now that the Old Ancestor Passing into Nirvana, I wish to personally see Old Ancestor off."
After a moment's thought, Feng Lingchen could guess what True Man He was planning.
He took direct action and continued to open the layers of Magic Array.
Before long, True Man He met the ' Feng Family Ancestor ' in a Cultivation Secret Chamber.
The Feng Family Ancestor maintained the appearance of a thirty-year-old, with outstanding demeanor. Even Passing into Nirvana, he remained lifelike, showing no signs of death from his appearance alone.
However, True Man He only needed to extend his Divine Sense to carefully sense the situation to discover that the Feng Family Ancestor had long since lost all life force.
True Man He sighed and respectfully bowed deeply to the Feng Family Ancestor, "Farewell, Old Ancestor!"
