"That old bastard Tian Sha! I just ascended to the Divine Realm, and he actually brought me here to steal something!"
Feng Wuchen cursed Tian Sha five hundred times in his heart, as ten thousand alpacas thundered across his mind.
A lifetime of fame ruined in an instant!
Stealing something was bad enough, but stealing from the Divine Mansion in the Main God Realm was like walking into the lionâs denâa death wish!
"If I succeed in stealing it, fine. But if I fail, Iâll burn him to death!" Feng Wuchen thought viciously, wishing he could slap Tian Sha to death.
"Hey! Iâm talking to you, didnât you hear?" A cold voice interrupted.
"Canât be bothered to waste words with him. Dare to disrespect Master Soul Extinction, break his arms and legs first, then take him to the Divine Mansion Lord for punishment!" Another man said darkly.
"Thud!"
At that moment, Feng Wuchen suddenly knelt before the statue, kowtowing three times in quick succession.
This action left more than a dozen students in the plaza stunned.
What was Feng Wuchen doing?
Feng Wuchen slowly stood up, turned to the Divine Mansion students, and with a calm expression said, "I am Master Soul Extinctionâs personal disciple, out today to pay my respects to my mentor. Is there anything wrong with that?"
"What? Master Soul Extinctionâs personal disciple?" The dozen students were shocked, turning pale.
"You hindering me from paying respects to my mentor and trespassing on sacred ground is an insult to Master Soul Extinction. If the Main God knows, can your Divine Mansion Lord bear the consequences?" Feng Wuchen coldly said, his intimidating gaze sweeping over the students.
The sudden heavy accusation terrified the students, causing them to tremble all over, their faces turning white.
"Heâs right, itâs been years since Master Soul Extinction passed. Disciples should kneel and pay homage; itâs a respect for our mentor!"
"Yes, looks like we misunderstood him."
"Forgive us, Master Soul Extinction, we meant no offense."
The dozen students quickly knelt, kowtowing to the statue.
"Young Master Chen, weâve got the Elixir Scripture!" At this moment, Tian Shaâs voice came through.
"Letâs go!" Feng Wuchen communicated.
"Whoosh!"
In a flash, Tian Sha whisked Feng Wuchen away, disappearing as if they had never been there.
The dozen students felt relieved as if granted amnesty.
"Whew, that was terrifying. If the Divine Mansion Lord knew about this, our heads wouldnât be safe!" a student said, terrified, with sweat all over his forehead.
"Yes, in the entire Seven Divine Realms, who dares to disrespect Master Soul Extinction? Only his disciples have the right to come and pay respects," said another student.
"No, Master Soul Extinctionâs statue is sacred and inviolable; without permission from the Divine Mansion Lord, no one can enter the Divine Mansion. If he were Master Soul Extinctionâs disciple, the Divine Mansion Lord should greet him personally. Who doesnât know the rules of the Main God Realmâs Divine Mansion?" A student suddenly realized.
"Which of Master Soul Extinctionâs disciples isnât a presence that shakes the Divine Realm? We donât even recognize him!" another disciple realized.
"Weâve been duped! Heâs not Master Soul Extinctionâs disciple at all!" a student exclaimed in surprise.
"Quick! Report to the Divine Mansion Lord! Someone has intruded into the Main God Realmâs Divine Mansion, falsely claiming to be Master Soul Extinctionâs disciple!" A dozen disciples hurriedly ran towards the main hall.
...
"Whoosh!"
Back atop the original mountain peak, Feng Wuchen appeared in a flash.
"Whew! That was close. Luckily, you stole it quickly, otherwise, Iâd be doomed." Feng Wuchen breathed a sigh of relief.
Donât be fooled, they may be just students, but each one is stronger than Feng Wuchen, any one of them could thrash Feng Wuchen.
Stealing really is thrilling!
"Young Master Chen, what did you do to them? Why did those students kneel to you?" Tian Sha asked curiously.
"..." Feng Wuchen was speechless, full of dark lines.
"Give me the Elixir Scripture!" Feng Wuchen said, not curiously but seeing as Tian Sha successfully stole the scripture, he decided not to hold it against him.
In Feng Wuchenâs palm, an ancient book appeared out of thin air.
Feng Wuchen casually found a rock to sit cross-legged on, glanced at the ancient book, and said, "The Divine Mansion in the Main God Realm is full of powerful alchemists. For you, a soul body, to stealthily steal the scripture without them noticing, your skill is quite impressive."
For Tian Sha to easily steal the scripture without alerting the strong within the Main God Realmâs Divine Mansion, either they are all trash, or Tian Shaâs skill surpasses theirs.
Feng Wuchen didnât believe all practitioners in the Main God Realmâs Divine Mansion were trash.
"The Divine Realm Elixir Scripture!" Feng Wuchen glanced at the cover, then opened the scripture to browse carefully.
The Elixir Scripture detailed various herbs, annotated their properties, and illustrated their appearances in great detail.
The elixirs matched to various herbs, the amount and age of herbs needed for alchemy, nuances of alchemy steps, and the effects of elixirs and so on.
The more Feng Wuchen read, the more shocked and excited he became.
"This elixir scripture is simply priceless! Haha!" Feng Wuchen suddenly exclaimed, unable to contain his laughter.
For the first time, he felt stealing was so satisfying!
"Young Master Chen, Master Soul Extinctionâs elixir scripture is very profound. Many powerful alchemists canât understand it, and itâs said the elixir formulas are incomplete," Tian Sha communicated.
"They canât understand it, but for me, itâs not difficult. As long as I have enough powerful soul power, I can refine them anytime. Unfortunately, I should only be an Alchemist of Divine General level now," Feng Wuchen said with a triumphant smile.
"You can understand it, Young Master Chen?" Tian Sha asked in shock.
"Of course, the scriptureâs records are very detailed. Itâs just that for each formula, Master Soul Extinction intentionally left out some herbs, and for strong elixirs, he even deliberately added counteracting herbs," Feng Wuchen said with a slight smile.
"Why is that?" Tian Sha asked, confused.
"Itâs simple. The scripture is priceless, many people are eyeing it. Once Master Soul Extinction died, powerful alchemists would definitely scramble for it, leading to a bloody conflict. If alchemists canât understand or refine it, whatâs the use of having the scripture?" Feng Wuchen explained.
"I see," Tian Sha nodded.
"Master Soul Extinction is indeed cunning. The stronger the elixir formula, the less itâs documented," Feng Wuchen said, shaking his head.
Probably, in the entire Seven Divine Realms, only Feng Wuchen would dare call Master Soul Extinction cunning.
Subsequently, Feng Wuchen spent six hours memorizing the entire scripture. As a top alchemist, it wasnât difficult for Feng Wuchen.
"Enhancing the physique is still important. Shenxuan Powder helps in reinforcing the physique and enhances cultivation speed, most suitable for Divine Generals. The herbs needed for low-grade powder shouldnât be hard to find," Feng Wuchen muttered to himself with a smile.
"Master Soul Extinctionâs elixir scripture is really something. Well done, Tian Sha," Feng Wuchen said with excitement, "Letâs go check out the Divine Realm Commerce Association now."
With a target, thereâs motivation.
