Taihuang Star Seal

Chapter 573: Metamorphosis! Even the hero chapter wouldn’t dare to write this, right?

"These three rays of light from the 'Eighth Level of the Heavenly Gate Realm'... I understand. They must be the three female cultivators following Lord Ding Chen!"

When Xiang Jiuzhong received the report from his subordinates, he was extremely shocked at first.

Then, I felt that it was a natural thing.

After all, he had witnessed Ding Chen's strength with his own eyes.

Based on the principle of "the closer you are to the red, the more you will be known; the closer you are to the black, the more you will be known;

Those three female cultivators could be so close to Ding Chen, they must have extraordinary qualities!

"It is necessary to let the president know about this important matter."

With this thought in mind, Xiang Jiuzhong opened the secret compartment with the secret key in his hand and walked towards the little-known "Zhehu Hall" hidden under the lobby.

This is because the president and vice president of the Adventurer's Guild are both in seclusion here.

……

At the same time, the other two leading forces in Hongyan Immortal City also received the news.

[Alchemist Guild], the Supreme Inner Hall.

A middle-aged male cultivator with a sturdy build and strong features frowned into the shape of the Chinese character "川" (chuan) after listening to the report from his subordinates.

"You mean, in the [Adventurer's Guild]'s Tianzi Secret Retreat Pavilion, three people whose profound energy cultivation base skyrocketed to the 'Eighth Level of the Heavenly Gate Realm' emerged one after another?!"

"Exactly!"

This middle-aged male cultivator was none other than the president of the Alchemist Guild: Liu Banyi.

In addition to his Xuan Qi cultivation at the eighth level of the Tianmen Realm, he also possessed the Dan cultivation realm of the middle level of the Tian Realm.

Looking at the entire cultivation world, even in a top-notch powerful sect with many experts, he is a rare leader!

In fact, Liu Banyi has lived for almost two thousand years.

Logically speaking, he should have been exhausted long ago, but he still looks like a middle-aged man.

Rumor has it that President Liu once took an "elixir of immortality" by chance.

From then on, his facial features were frozen in his prime, truly enchanting.

"Hiss, three people in the eighth level of Tianmen Realm in succession? This is incredible!"

After saying that, Liu Banyi waved his hand and dismissed the person who came to report.

Then he turned to the female cultivator beside him and asked, "Blind man, what do you think about this?"

The blind man he referred to was actually the Vice President of the [Alchemist Guild]: Ouyang Zuojia.

Many old people in the Immortal City secretly called her the "black-hearted and blind female alchemist."

This was because this female alchemist, who was already in her twilight years, had stewed her entire family, including her parents, brothers, fellow Taoist friends, children, and young and old, into a pot of "spiritual porridge and medicinal soup" in order to achieve a higher level of alchemy.

The cruelty of their methods is appalling!

Despite this evil method, it did greatly improve her alchemy skills in a very short period of time.

But this woman also paid a price for this. Not only did her life span drop drastically and she became old and frail, but she also became blind...

At this moment, Ouyang Zuojia responded in a frosted, rough voice, "If these three people were just passers-by, it would be fine."

"But if they intend to get involved in the power division of Hongyan Immortal City after they come out of seclusion, then we must prepare early!"

"That makes sense."

Liu Banyi nodded in agreement: "No matter what the three peak Tianmen Realm masters do after they come out of retreat, they will have an impact on the current power structure of Hongyan Immortal City that cannot be ignored."

"They are currently renting the Adventurer's Guild's top-level retreat pavilion to practice. Once they come out of retreat, they will most likely be recruited by the Adventurer's Guild first."

"No, we can't let the Zhang brothers and sisters get the upper hand!"

At this point, Liu Banyi stood up suddenly and said, "Come on, let's go meet those three guys who are on the rise."

"If they are just passing through, we should show some hospitality to them."

"If they are fierce dragons crossing the river and want to take root in the Immortal City, my [Alchemist Guild] will offer a sincere price to win them over!"

……

Almost at the same time, the Talisman Master Guild also received news of the incident.

"This is a serious matter, we must let the president come forward to make the decision."

"But, but the president hasn't come on duty for a long time, and the vice president is nowhere to be found. What should we do?"

The elders were in a panic.

If they knew that the president, whom they had tried every means to contact, had been killed by Ding Chen ten days ago, they would probably be shocked!

……

Soon, everyone inside and outside the Adventurer's Guild was in an uproar.

It was because they saw the big shots that were rarely seen on weekdays, making a collective appearance——

"Look, that's President Zhang of the Adventurer's Guild!"

"How could such a mysterious and elusive being like him show up here in such a high profile?"

"And the Vice President of the Adventurer's Guild is here too!"

"According to my memory, there have been no more than five occasions in the past thirty years where the brother and sister have made a solemn appearance together."

"And judging from the situation, the Zhang brothers and sisters are probably prepared to wait forever..."

The "Zhang brothers and sisters" as they are called by everyone, the former is named Zhang Caiyun, and is the president of the Adventurer's Guild of Hongyan Fairy City.

When I first heard this name, I thought it was a female.

But in fact he was a short old man with yellow spots on his face.

However, his cultivation level is at the peak of the ninth level of Tianmen Realm. Looking at the entire Immortal City, only Lin Sifen can be compared with him.

The younger sister of the Zhang siblings, Zhang Caiyu, is a short and fat old woman with gray hair.

His level of Xuan cultivation is only slightly weaker than his brother Zhang Caiyun, having reached the ninth level of Tianmen Realm, and is on par with the Yellow Earth Immortal.

"Eh? Isn't that the president of the Alchemist Guild: Liu Banyi?"

"It is rumored that President Liu once took an 'elixir of immortality', which is why he is still in his prime even though he is several thousand years old."

"Now it seems that the rumors are true!"

"Hmm? Who is that old woman who is following behind President Liu and has half her face covered with a purple eye patch?"

On the rooftop, as soon as a young man finished speaking, a white-bearded elder slapped him hard on the back of his head: "You little bastard, do you want to die? How dare you call her an 'old woman'?!"

"Do you know that this woman's name is Ouyang Zuojia, and she is a ruthless character?"

"In order to achieve her own alchemy, she stewed her parents, brothers, Taoist companions, children, and everyone else into a pot of magic medicine soup, which she drank with great relish!"

“If it weren’t for her extraordinary alchemy skills, and if the people she hurt were not her own blood relatives, and if she didn’t cause any trouble for the wealthy families in the upper sect…”

"She has probably already been classified as an 'evil cultivator of the devil' and is wanted by everyone!"

"Ah? Is this so cruel?"

"It's over, it's over. I felt like she just glanced at me."

After the little boy finished speaking tremblingly, he peed his pants.

At this time, a bearded old man who had lived in Hongyan Fairy City for decades stroked his beard and said, "I didn't expect that even Liu Banyi and Ouyang Zuojia, two busy men with 'Heavenly Realm Middle Grade' alchemy skills, would come here."

His wife, however, was calm and said, "It's normal. After all, there are three top-level masters of the eighth level of the Heavenly Gate Realm in the 'Heavenly Retreat Pavilion' right now!"

"Whether it's the Zhang brothers and sisters' [Adventurer Guild] or the [Alchemist Guild], they will definitely covet this 'emerging top combat force'."

"If you ask me, it won't be long before the president of the Talisman Master Guild will appear here in a high-profile manner just like these people!"

"As soon as the people in the Tianzi secret room come out, they will rush forward and extend olive branches to him like eight immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers."

"Yeah, I think so too!"

However, this time the prediction of this old couple, who have always been very smart and good at calculating, came up empty.

They waited for more than ten days.

Neither the president nor the vice president of the [Talisman Master Guild] has ever shown up.

As for the [Talisman Master Guild], this was obviously different from the calmness of ordinary people, but it inadvertently gave rise to a possibility in everyone's hearts -

"Could it be that the three masters who broke through to the eighth level of the Heavenly Gate Realm in the closed-door retreat were originally members of the Talisman Master Guild?"

"Otherwise, how can we explain why the leaders of the Adventurer's Guild and the Alchemist's Guild personally came out to snatch people away? "

"The Talisman Master Guild, one of the three giants, has not made any moves?"

……

Similar speculations quickly fermented and spread within the Immortal City.

But it is limited to the middle and lower class people who are unaware of the truth.

For the upper-level cultivators who have access to more "top secret information", they can always learn from various channels that the people who are still in seclusion in the Tianzi Pavilion at this time are the Ding Chen and his party who became famous more than half a month ago!

"Om!!"

When the one-month retreat deadline was approaching, the stars lit up again in the sky above the Tianzi Retreat Pavilion, which had been silent for nearly twenty days.

This time, nine golden stars lit up!

Seeing this scene, many cultivators inside and outside the Adventurer's Guild were horrified.

"Nine stars, that is the 'ninth level of Tianmen Realm'?!"

"No, the brilliance of these nine stars is much more dazzling than that of a cultivator who has just entered the ninth level of the Heavenly Gate Realm!"

"Could it be the 'Peak of the Heavenly Gate Realm'?"

"Om..."

"Look, the old stars are still shining, and new stars are starting again!"

"Another nine golden stars."

"Wait, there's more!"

"Hiss - that means the three cultivators in the Tianzi secret room who broke through to the eighth level of the Tianmen Realm twenty days ago."

"Now, he has been promoted to the 'peak of the ninth level of the Heavenly Gate Realm'?!"

"This is... Even the stories in the 'hero stories' that children read wouldn't dare to be made up like this, right?!"
