Worth It!

White robes, white hair, white shoes.

An aged face.

Ordinary people could not sense even a trace of aura from this old man. He seemed utterly commonplace.

Yet at this moment, Ye Qiu's mind jolted. His keen spiritual senses made every hair on his body stand on end, instinctively warning him.

Terrifying!

Utterly terrifying!

"Help us..." As the man appeared, Elder Gao Da's urgent voice rang out.

The old man said nothing and continued forward. Once he drew close, his gaze fell directly upon Ye Qiu.

Still so ordinary.

Yet Ye Qiu's body suddenly shuddered.

At that moment, he felt as though he had been stripped bare, as though everything about him had been seen through.

"Senior Brother..." Gao Da called again.

That made Ye Qiu tremble even more violently.

Senior Brother?

Gao Da's senior brother—the fourteenth master of the Alchemy Academy, its current head, Dan Fourteen?

The old man remained silent. He stared at Ye Qiu for a long while before turning his gaze toward Gao Da.

He shook his head. "Difficult."

Gao Da stepped forward. "Take out the Life-Transmutation Seed you carry and deal with this emergency."

The old man's impassive expression finally changed. "Are you mad? That is the relic Master left behind."

"It is the Alchemy Academy's greatest treasure, the last trump card for both you and me!"

Gao Da said, "She is at death's door. We have no choice."

Dan Fourteen gave Gao Da a deep look. "The Alchemy Academy will not take part in these disputes."

"Worth it!" Gao Da roared.

Dan Fourteen shook his head. Not worth it!

Thud—

At the same time, Tang Yan rushed forward like a madman and knelt on the ground again, banging his head against the floor with loud thuds.

His voice was urgent and choked with sobs.
