Chapter 173: The Future Third-tier Alchemist, Bait for the Youmo Sect

Afterwards, Zhou Sui remained at Danyao Peak to exchange alchemy experience with Ma Qianjun.

It must be said that the other party was truly worthy of being a Second-tier High-grade Alchemist.

Although his own theoretical experience was rich, when it came to practical experience, he still could not compare to such a veteran Alchemist.

After some exchange, he also gained a great deal and felt that his own alchemy experience had improved significantly.

Of course, compared to Zhou Sui, Ma Qianjun was even more shocked—the kind that left one dumbfounded.

He felt this kid was too exaggerated.

Clearly, he was just a Loose Cultivator, yet his theoretical experience was countless times richer than his own.

It was as if he had obtained a complete Alchemy Inheritance and had been practicing for over a hundred years.

While exchanging with this kid, he felt the other party was simply like an Alchemist Grandmaster one could only look up to.

No matter what question he raised, the other party answered fluently and solved it with ease.

By the end, it was he who was asking questions, and the other party who was answering.

It made him feel like an Alchemist Apprentice.

"Peak Master, is this kid really a Loose Cultivator?"

"How does he have such solid theoretical knowledge? Where exactly did he learn it from?"

After Zhou Sui left, an Elder of Danyao Peak who had been listening in and participating in this alchemy exchange also spoke; to be honest, he was also shocked to the point of being dumbfounded.

Originally, he had looked down upon Zhou Sui quite a bit, feeling that a mere Loose Cultivator from an unorthodox background could not have much skill.

But after several rounds of conversation, he discovered he was dead wrong.

The other party's knowledge was even richer than he had imagined.

It was as if he were an Alchemist Grandmaster who had studied for a hundred years, thoroughly familiar with all kinds of knowledge.

It made him feel a bit ashamed of himself.

Of course, he did not know that this was all thanks to the Book Gu.

These Inheritance Jade Slips of the Xianxia Sect had basically all been eaten by the Book Gu.

As long as Zhou Sui moved his mind, he could naturally retrieve the relevant knowledge, so his theoretical knowledge was naturally very rich.

It was simply not something these Alchemists could compare to.

"I can only say that this kid definitely has another Alchemy Inheritance, one that is perhaps not even inferior to our Danyao Peak."

"It is no wonder Sect Master could take a fancy to this kid; this fellow is not just a man with only a pretty face."

"Given time, he might truly be able to become a Third-tier Alchemist."

Danyao Peak Master Ma Qianjun sighed with emotion.

After some exchange, he was completely won over by Zhou Sui.

After all, for Alchemists, if it works, it works; if it doesn't, it doesn't.

They are also equivalent to technical personnel.

Therefore, there are not so many twists and turns in their hearts; they are usually straightforward.

If the other party truly has the ability, not only will they not feel unhappy, but they will instead develop recognition.

"Third-tier Alchemist?!"

Hearing this, the many Elders of Danyao Peak were also taken aback; they did not expect Peak Master Ma Qianjun to rate this kid so highly.

One must know that currently, in the entire Xianxia Sect, there is not a single Third-tier Alchemist.

Only the Pill Cauldron Sect possesses Third-tier Alchemists, which is why the Pill Cauldron Sect's status is very special.

If this kid could truly become a Third-tier Alchemist, then even if he were not the Sect Master's Dao Companion, his status in the Xianxia Sect would be pivotal, recognized by countless immortal cultivators.

After all, for such technical talent, who is to say they won't need to beg the other party for help in the future?

Anyone who wants to increase their cultivation and break through bottlenecks requires the assistance of pills.

At this time, the existence of an Alchemist is especially important.

"Alright, do not gather here."

"Release this kid's task and let the Disciples go help him find Empty Underworld Grass."

Ma Qianjun said.

"Yes, Peak Master."

The many Elders of Danyao Peak all nodded.

Originally, they were not very attentive to this matter; after all, he was just a pretty boy.

Although they could give the other party face in public, since he was the Sect Master's Dao Companion, it was not necessarily the case in private.

Even if they did the work, they might not necessarily put in their full effort, and dragging their feet would also be acceptable.

But now it was different; if Zhou Sui were to be a Third-tier Alchemist in the future, it would bring huge benefits to each of them, and perhaps they might see Third-tier Pills being refined within the Xianxia Sect.

…………

There is no wall in the world that does not let the wind through.

The news that Zhou Sui wanted to acquire Empty Underworld Grass spread rapidly, and was even learned by spies of the Youmo Sect.

At the first opportunity, this news was reported back to the Youmo Sect.

After all, this matter had a great deal to do with Zhou Sui and could be considered a top-tier event.

"What? This kid actually has a chance to become a Third-tier Alchemist? And this is Ma Qianjun's evaluation?"

Hearing this, some Elders of the Youmo Sect were also taken aback.

They had not expected this pretty boy's talent for alchemy to be so high, and that he actually had hope of becoming a Third-tier Alchemist in the future; it was truly inconceivable.

After all, the status of a Third-tier Alchemist is comparable to a Golden Core Real Person.

They occupy a pivotal position on the entire Xianxia Island.

The connections of a Third-tier Alchemist are quite astonishing.

"As expected, this guy isn't just a simple pretty boy; he actually has this kind of potential."

"Think about it carefully and you'll know. As the youngest Golden Core Real Person, Leng Yuexi has a boundless future and is extremely intelligent; how could she possibly be such a shallow woman? With her strength, what kind of handsome man couldn't she get?"

"That is indeed the case. Perhaps this woman knew of this pretty boy's talent for Alchemy, which is why she brought him back to the Xianxia Sect and made him an Alchemy Elder of the Xianxia Sect."

"This woman, Leng Yuexi, is truly treacherous; she is simply despicable and shameless. To actually treat her own benefactor this way—he clearly helped her detoxify and saved her life, yet she forced herself upon him, and even snatched away his man right in front of his wives and concubines."

"The most detestable thing is that she even dragged those wives and concubines along to the Xianxia Sect; it is truly shameless. It is said that those wives and concubines cry in the back mountain every day, weeping like rain-drenched pear blossoms."

"Isn't that so? I knew long ago that these righteous sects are all full of hypocrites; not a single one of them is any good. Compared to them, our Demonic Sects are so much better—daring to love and daring to hate."

"If that's the case, this man deserves to die even more. We absolutely cannot let the Xianxia Sect produce a Third-tier Alchemist; otherwise, wouldn't the Xianxia Sect be able to produce a large number of Foundation Establishment Elders, or even Golden Core Real Persons, in the future?"

"But Elder, we have also wanted to lure this kid out of the Xianxia Sect these past few days, but the problem is that this kid stays on Xianxia Peak the whole time, and we have no chance to make contact at all."

"That's right, this kid spends all day playing around with his wives and concubines on Xianxia Peak and has no interest in going down the mountain at all. I reckon he's being drained dry by that old woman Leng Yuexi all day long; sooner or later, he'll be completely drained by dual cultivation."

"Isn't there a good opportunity right now? This kid wants to find Empty Underworld Grass, and it just so happens that there is a stalk of Empty Underworld Grass in the sect's treasury. We can use this Spirit Medicine to lure this kid out."

"No way, isn't that being too generous to this kid? Empty Underworld Grass is worth a fortune."

"Stupid, this is just bait, not something to actually give him. In any case, I want the person, and the Spirit Medicine cannot be lost either. This time, I want to see that kid die without a burial place."

"Yes, Elder."

Many Youmo Sect Cultivators discussed it one after another.

In a few words, they quickly formulated a plan to ambush Zhou Sui, intending to use the Empty Underworld Grass to lure Zhou Sui out of the Xianxia Sect so they could ambush and kill him outside.
