Chapter 6267: An Unsurprising Fallout

“Chu Feng?”

The crowd looked at the sectmaster in astonishment, especially Xian Shi.

“He is supporting that master with his bloodline power,” the sectmaster replied.

“Lord Father, why can’t I tell?” Xian Shi asked.

“It’s because of that formation. It hinders detection,” the sectmaster replied.

“Can bloodline power make such a huge difference?” Xian Shi asked.

“It makes a difference, but it usually won’t be to such an extent. I can only say that the Ruler’s Bloodline lives up to its reputation.” The sectmaster stared at Chu Feng with contemplative eyes.

Meanwhile, Jie Shanxian was busy refining the Purpledream Ascensions.

The Purpledream Ascensions here, unlike those outside, contained two surges of energy.

The first surge of energy was identical to what she had refined outside, just that it was of a higher quality. With Chu Feng’s help, she easily refined and forged three pills out of it.

The other energy was more violent and harnessed spirit power. It was the purple aura that was currently attacking them, and it would continue doing so unless they neutralized it. This energy was trickier to deal with, such that Jie Shanxian didn’t even know if it could be forged into a pill.

She succeeded in refining the energy, but it formed a purple stone instead of a pill. This purple stone was larger than the stone Xian Shi gave Chu Feng before, but it was identical otherwise.

“I see!”

Jie Shanxian realized something and sent a voice transmission to Chu Feng, “The energy contained in the purple stone can only be absorbed by juniors, so it’s less valuable than the pills, but the energy it contains is pure. I can transfer the refined energy to you without them noticing, but that only works if you can assimilate it, or you’ll suffer a terrible backlash. They must have tested you to ensure that we can’t steal this energy.”

Chu Feng sighed. “I knew their earlier test had something to do with the Purpledream Ascension. So it was regarding this.”

“Chu Feng, I’ll siphon away some of the energy for you since you’re able to assimilate it. They won’t notice a thing anyway,” Jie Shanxian replied.

Jie Shanxian continued refining the Purpledream Ascensions but while forging the purple stones, she secretly siphoned away some energy to transfer them to Chu Feng, and Chu Feng didn’t hesitate to assimilate it.

“How is the energy?” Jie Shanxian asked.

“It’s effective in growing my spirit power, but there’s too little of it. Otherwise, I should be able to make a breakthrough if I can assimilate all the refined purple stones here.” Chu Feng sighed.

“It might be possible,” Jie Shanxian replied discreetly.

“What makes you say so?” Chu Feng asked.

“I doubt they are going to honor their promise. I can see hostility in their eyes. If they turn against us, we’re going to monopolize everything here,” Jie Shanxian pointed out.

“That makes me hope that they will renege on their promise.” Chu Feng laughed.

World spiritist resources were much rarer than cultivation resources.

“Elder, while the pills are easy to assimilate, the purple stones can only be used by juniors. Given the limitations of their talent, I reckon that only a small handful of them can assimilate it, and even so, it would take a great deal of preparation. The chances are that they have a huge stockpile of it in their inventory. Should we put on a show to make them bring out their purple stones?”

Chu Feng proceeded to share his plan with Jie Shanxian.

In gist, the two of them would feign exhaustion and take a break. Jie Shanxian would take this chance to request for purple stones, saying that it would help her better refine the Purpledream Ascensions. The more purple stones there were, the better the effect.

Jie Shanxian might have a straightforward personality, but her acting was on point.

To hasten their refinement of the Purpledream Ascensions, the Seven Realms Immortal Sect took out all their stashed purple stones and handed it to her. There were more than a hundred of them in total.

Based on Chu Feng’s estimation, they could only forge dozens of purple stones at most even if they refined all the Purpledream Ascensions here.

This showed that the Seven Realms Immortal Sect was capable of refining the Purpledream Ascensions, just that they were nowhere as efficient as Jie Shanxian. This also meant that it would have taken them a long time to stockpile so many purple stones.

After duping the Seven Realms Immortal Sect of their purple stones, Chu Feng and Jie Shanxian resumed the refinement process.

In the end, it only took them two hours in total to refine the massive field of Purpledream Ascensions. All in all, they forged 180 pills and 59 purple stones. If Chu Feng hadn’t secretly assimilated some of the purple stones, they could have refined at least 61 purple stones.

Pah pah pah!

An applause could be heard. It was from the Seven Realms Immortal Sect’s sectmaster.

“Master, I am in awe of your means. To be frank with you, it would have taken me a hundred years at minimum to refine all these Purpledream Ascensions. This can only mean that you’re fated with our sect. I can't bear to see you leave,” the sectmaster said.

“We can continue refining if there are more Purpledream Ascensions,” Jie Shanxian replied.

“We only have this many mature Purpledream Ascensions,” the sectmaster said.

“It’s fine. I can return when more Purpledream Ascensions have matured.”

“I’m worried that you won’t return anymore. Why don’t you and young friend Chu Feng stay in our Seven Realms Immortal Sect for good?” the sectmaster said.

A golden light suddenly pulsated in the sky. This was the sealing formation constructed by the sectmaster together with his sect elders.

“Damn it. I-I-I knew they were up to something!” Wang Qiang cursed.

Chu Feng quietly glanced at Jie Shanxian. They had already predicted that this would happen, so all that was left to do was for Jie Shanxian to reveal her hand.

“Looks like you’re planning to double-cross us?” Jie Shanxian asked.

“We don’t want to renege on our words, but your secret art is too valuable for our Seven Realms Immortal Sect to miss out on. Furthermore, both the Ruler’s Bloodline and the Genesis Bloodline are legends. They are the dream of all world spiritists.

“If you want to blame anyone, blame yourselves. You should know how valuable the Purpledream Ascensions are, but you believed me when I told you I’d give you 30%. You are blinded by your greed,” the sectmaster said, showing no remorse for his betrayal.

Their brazen attitudes suggested that this was not the first time the Seven Realms Immortal Sect had done something like this.

“A mere rank two Heavenly Dragon World Spiritist thinks he can stop me?” Jie Shanxian sneered.

Spirit power gushed forth from Jie Shanxian’s body like a sharp sword, piercing through the sealing formation constructed by the sectmaster and his elders. The sectmaster and the elders’ faces warped in pain as they spurted blood.

“You possess heaven-defying battle power?” The sectmaster was taken aback.

He was certain that Jie Shanxian was only a rank one Heavenly Dragon World Spiritist, but somehow she was able to easily breach his formation. She had to possess heaven-defying battle power to achieve that.

It was commonplace for cultivators to possess heaven-defying battle power, but the same couldn’t be said about world spiritists. Only the most talented world spiritist prodigies would possess heaven-defying battle power.

“You were the ones who first double-crossed me. Don’t blame me for being heartless.”

Jie Shanxian pointed her finger at the sectmaster, and countless spirit formation swords appeared out of thin air and flew forth like a torrential storm.

Yet, these swords suddenly shattered before they could reach the sectmaster.

An ancient voice echoed, “How dare you cause trouble in our Seven Realms Immortal Sect? You must think that we’re a minor sect!”

There was another brilliant flash of light in the sky, and an aura surpassing that of the sectmaster suffused the surroundings. A white-haired, wrinkled old man could be vaguely seen floating in mid-air amid the light.

He eyed Chu Feng and Jie Shanxian as if they were prey.
