Chapter 6266: Refinement

“What a joke! Why wouldn’t my b-b-brother dare do it? Did you l-l-lace it with poison?” Wang Qiang scoffed in disdain.

Chu Feng grabbed the purple stone and examined it. “It won’t be easy to refine this purple stone. Failure is one thing, but there’s a risk of a major rebound too.”

“Not bad. I guess you aren’t just words, but world spiritists should speak with their strength. All you have is a pair of good eyes if you dare not refine it,” Xian Shi scoffed.

“I’ll give it a try.” Chu Feng clenched his fingers around the purple stone and channeled his spirit power into it.

The Seven Realms Immortal Sectmembers stared at Chu Feng with nervous eyes, but they weren’t worried about Chu Feng’s safety but that he might succeed.

The purple stone emitted an explosive surge of purple aura and assaulted Chu Feng like a venomous serpent, but Chu Feng remained unfazed. Xian Shi began to fidget nervously.

“It’s not working.” Chu Feng shook his head.

Xian Shi breathed a sigh of relief as he took the purple stone back from Chu Feng. “You need not feel self-reproach. This purple stone is not easy to refine.”

His tone was mocking despite his consoling words.

Chu Feng paid no heed to his mocking tone and smiled. “It’s harder than I thought.”

Xian Shi’s smile further brightened.

Chu Feng sent a voice transmission to Jie Shanxian, “Elder, these people are scheming something. Should we find a chance to slip away, or do we wait for them to reveal their true colors?”

“The Seven Realms Immortal Sect’s sectmaster promised me 30% of the Purpledream Ascension refining it into pills. I can’t leave empty-handed now that I’m here. Chu Feng, you trust me, right? There’s no way the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion is weaker than them. Since I said I can guarantee your safety, you can be certain that I’ll hold my promise.”

She proceeded to ask, “That item appears to be related to the Purpledream Ascension. I don’t know how they made it, but it looks like only juniors can refine it. Are you truly unable to do so?”

“I can refine it, but I noticed that they don’t truly want me to succeed. This appears to be some kind of test, and it looks to be related to the Purpledream Ascensions. I don’t think that I should let them get their way,” Chu Feng replied.

“You’re a sly one, rascal.” Jie Shanxian chuckled.

“It’s better to be safe than sorry.”

“That’s much better than your stuttering friend.”

“Ah... My friend is usually quite sharp. He’s just acting like that because he has your backing,” Chu Feng explained.

“Is that so?” Jie Shanxian was skeptical.

“Of course it’s true!” Chu Feng nodded.

Soon, the Seven Realms Immortal Sect’s sectmaster rushed back with his sect elders.

“Master, we’re done with our preparations. When is convenient for you?” the sectmaster courteously asked Jie Shanxian.

“Let’s head over now,” Jie Shanxian replied as she headed out.

Chu Feng and Wang Qiang followed her.

The sectmaster hurriedly spoke up, “Master, the Purpledream Ascensions are highly poisonous. Why don’t we let these two young friends rest here?”

“It’s fine. They can handle it.”

Since Jie Shanxian had already said so, the sectmaster didn’t say anything more. He rose into the air and led Chu Feng and the others deeper into the Seven Realms Immortal Sect.

“Little brother, what are your thoughts about Chu Feng?” Xian Jing asked.

“He has some skills to withstand the Purpledream Stone’s rebound, but he lacks guts, so I doubt he poses a threat. Rather, we should be more wary about the stutterer,” Xian Shi replied.

“He lacks guts? He just caused a huge commotion at the Huangfu Heavenly Clan’s side. Someone who lacks guts wouldn’t be capable of that,” Xian Jing pointed out.

“You don’t understand, big sister. Dogs fear wolves, and wolves fear tigers. There is a hierarchy in the world. Chu Feng isn’t just a cultivator but a world spiritist too. He must have witnessed our sect’s splendor and is intimidated. Such fear comes right from his bloodline, his soul!” Xian Shi said with a gleeful smile as he glanced at Chu Feng.

Chu Feng noticed his glance and smiled at him.

That made Xian Shi even more gleeful, and he secretly told his big sister, “Look at how humble he is! That’s the prowess of our Seven Realms Immortal Sect!”

“That... seems to be the case.” Xian Jing nodded.

Chu Feng and the others passed through the humongous barrier that extended from the ground into the sky and found themselves faced with a large field of purple flowers.

These were all Purpledream Ascensions! Not only were they of much higher quality than those outside the Seven Realms Immortal Sect, but they also looked far more ancient and dangerous. This was a top-quality cultivation resource!

“Do you need to refine all of these?” Jie Shanxian asked.

“Yes, we have to refine everything, but there’s no need to push it. You may refine however much you deem fit. You may also take your time if you aren’t in a rush,” the sectmaster said.

“This is more than I thought. What about the proportion we have agreed on?”

“We’ll go by our agreement. 30% of the Purpledream Ascensions refined into pills will be yours.”

“Seven Realms Immortal Sect’s sectmaster, I expect you to honor your promise.”

“Rest assured, master. We, the Seven Realms Immortal Sect, pride ourselves on our credibility.”

The Seven Realms Immortal Sectmembers retreated from the flower field, and the sectmaster constructed a barrier around the field. These Purpledream Ascensions’ lethality had reached a level where even they had to tread carefully.

Jie Shanxian didn’t make a move right away. Instead, she constructed a formation that enveloped herself, Chu Feng, and Wang Qiang. She spent some time on it. On the surface, the barrier was intended to protect Chu Feng and Wang Qiang, but it served another purpose.

“Let’s begin, Chu Feng.”

Jie Shanxian activated the formation, and the formation instantly enveloped a huge amount of Purpledream Ascensions. The Purpledream Ascensions, upon sensing the refinement energy, morphed into auras and surged toward her.

“Isn’t this refinement method too crude? Does she not know about the Purpledream Ascension’s lethality?” Xian Shi sighed.

The purple auras surging toward Jie Shanxian were extremely toxic, especially when there was such a massive amount of them. Not even his father would have been able to withstand it.

But soon, he found himself at a loss for words.

He noticed that Jie Shanxian, Chu Feng, and Wang Qiang were unharmed despite the onslaught of the purple auras. Instead, the purple auras manifested into three pills in front of her.

These pills were forged by refining and condensing the Purpledream Ascensions.

“That’s too fast!” The Seven Realms Immortal Sect’s elders were shocked.

Even though Jie Shanxian was only halfway done with the refinement, they were making incredibly fast progress.

“We would have been the sect’s sinners if we had missed her!” the woman and the elder who despised Jie Shanxian earlier at the Seven Realms Immortal Sect’s entrance murmured their regrets.

The Purpledream Ascensions here were far harder to refine as compared to the lower-quality products outside. They thought that Jie Shanxian would require a lot of time even if she could refine these Purpledream Ascensions.

Yet, Jie Shanxian was refining these Purpledreams Ascensions faster than she did with the lower-quality products outside. This showed that she had held back earlier.

It was fortunate they didn’t miss Jie Shanxian, or else it would have been a massive loss to the Seven Realms Immortal Sect.

Just then, the sectmaster spoke up, “Her secret art is formidable, but the crux behind their fast refinement speed lies with Chu Feng.”

While the others were focused on Jie Shanxian, the sectmaster’s eyes were on Chu Feng.
