1491 Immortal Ranking, You People Are Disturbing Me From Reminiscing About Master

The Alchemy Festival at Laojun City started with an auction, where all the master alchemists put their best items on auction.

When all the sky-prides saw the pills that caught their attention, they bid for it with exorbitant prices.

“The next pill is something big. A Seventh Rebirth Golden Pill!” said the auctioneer.

On the platform before him was a golden pill, dazzling in seven shades of gold.

The dazzling shine caught the crowd’s attention.

The pill-refining technique originated from Taishang Laojun himself from ancient times. It was said that the golden pills were divided into Third Rebirth, Fifth Rebirth, Seventh Rebirth, and the highest, Ninth Rebirth.

As for the technique to refine a Ninth Rebirth Golden Pill, it had been lost in the long history of the Immortal World. Hence, the Seventh Rebirth Golden Pill was the best that the current alchemist could produce.

Its effect was incomparable to the Ninth Rebirth Golden Pill, but it was enough for a Gilded Immortal to break through one grade, hence its value.

The appearance of the golden pill caused an uproar among the crowd. People started to gasp in awe as they glued their eyes to the pill.

“If I can get the golden pill, I’ll definitely break through to become a Gilded Immortal, and at least in the second grade at that!”

“You’re not even a Gilded Immortal, and you want that pill for yourself? What a joke!”

“The Ji clan is having the pill!”

It was then that a voice interrupted the crowd.

A man with a sword sitting in mid-air caught everyone’s attention.

He was one of the popular Prodigies of the younger generations, Ji De!

When the crowd heard that the Ji clan was after the golden pill, they were deterred. After all, the Ji clan had the support of the two major Immortal Halls, whose names alone were enough to frighten people.

“Hmph! Why should the Ji clan have this just because you say so?”

Another indifferent voice sounded.

This time, the voice was from a man in golden armor equipped with a halberd. The man had horns on his head, and he exuded a powerful energy presence.

There was no one beside him, and even those who were rather close to him felt intimidated.

“It’s the Third Crown Prince of the Dragon Palace!”

Someone recognized the horns on his head.

The Dragon Palace was also one of the biggest forces in the Immortal World, second only to an Overlord-level Immortal Hall.

“I’m having the Seventh Rebirth Golden Pill, and no one shall contend for it!” the Third Dragon Crown Prince bellowed. His golden eyes scanned over the crowd, sending chills down everyone’s spine.

“This is an auction. Only the bidder with the highest price can get it,” said a man in black with a black sword hanging at his waist.

“Hen Changtian! The Side King of the Demon Kingdom!”

The younger generations had started forming their own forces around candidates that they believed would become the future Immortal World Ruler.

The Demon Kingdom was a new force formed by the Demonic Dao Prodigy, Shi Tianxuan. The kingdom consisted of only demonic cultivators, so it was no surprise that many demonic sky-prides joined them.

He was crowned the Side King because his cultivation was second only to the founder of the kingdom, Shi Tianxuan. As one of the marquis of the kingdom, he was also a powerful Prodigy.

Other than Hen Changtian, the Third Dragon Crown Prince, there were other sky-prides and Prodigies who voiced their desire and determination to acquire the Seventh Rebirth Golden Pill.

Every one of them had a reputation for themselves, and they were well-known figures among the younger generation.

“The Alchemy Festival in Laojun City is really lively. The place is filled with sky-prides and Prodigies.”

“Yeah, everyone seems so strong.”

“I heard they’re not just here for the festival. Apparently, the recent Immortal Ranking is also involved.”

“Immortal Ranking? What does that have to do with this?”

The Immortal Ranking only appeared under the spotlight just recently, and it was promoted by a mysterious organization. It was said that the ranking ranked sky-prides and Prodigies of the Immortal World based on their wins and losses.

The higher the ranking, the higher the chance of the candidate becoming the ruler of the Immortal World. Although exaggerated, it appeared to be a kind of acknowledgment of one’s strength.

The names on the ranking were all top Prodigies of the Immortal World.

“Don’t forget why we are here,” Ji De said flatly.

“Of course, we remember why we are here. How dare the Immortal Ranking ranked us behind that person? I have to prove myself this time and show the world that the Immortal Ranking is nothing but nonsense!” the Third Dragon Crown Prince grunted coldly.

“If that’s the case, the bidder with the highest bid will get the Seventh Rebirth Golden Pill.”

“Fine.”

The crowd started to bid for the pill, but ultimately, Ji De won it.

The Ji clan was wealthy, and as the top Prodigies that the clan prioritized nurturing, he was loaded with Immortal Crystals. Hence, no one was surprised that he got the golden pill.

“Look, someone is here.”

Someone noticed a silvery white figure outside Laojun City, coming closer through the sandstorm.

No one would care if it was just some cultivator, but the silvery white figure was something else.

Equipped with silvery white armor, she approached bearing an unusual elegance, especially with her white hair and exquisite facial features. She was enveloped with a layer of Immortal Sparks and exuded a cold and unapproachable feeling.

She looked holy and majestic as though she was a God.

“The rumor is true. She’s here.”

“She’s really loyal. I heard the Phoenix Maiden Chu Hong of the Phoenix Nest, the Jade Pool Maiden Sage Yu Zhi, and some other well-known Prodigies would come to mourn from time to time. I don’t understand why they would mourn for a person like Chu Kuangren. He’s better dead. If he’s still here, how could we rise to power?”

“The Eleventh on the Immortal Ranking, Lan Yu!”

At her arrival, some reacted with grave looks in their eyes.

Even Ji De, the Third Dragon Crown Prince, had to take her arrival seriously. After al, he was the reason why they were here.

However, Lan Yu ignored the others and headed to the furnace. She stared at the furnace deeply, and a hint of wistfulness gleamed in her sapphire blue eyes.

“Master, it has been twenty years. When are you coming out?” Lan Yu muttered.

The world thought Chu Kuangren had fallen, but Lan Yu and a handful of people believed that Chu Kuangren was alive and trapped inside.

In the past twenty years, Lan Yu had left the academy and traveled to the Immortal World to grow stronger.

Even so, she would visit Laojun City from time to time to see if Chu Kuangren had come out.

“Lan Yu, you’re finally here.”

Several beams of light arrived behind her, and the one who spoke was the Third Dragon Crown Prince.

Lan Yu continued to ignore him, and her eyes glued to the Bagua Furnace.

Maybe she was overthinking, but the Bagua Furnance’s temperature felt a lot lower compared to her previous visits.

The Daoist patterns etched on the surface had also grown weaker as they did not feel as pressured as before.

Could it be that Chu Kuangren was coming out?

A hint of hope gleamed in her sapphire blue eyes.

“Lan Yu, I’m talking to you. Can you hear me?” the Third Dragon Crown Prince frowned.

Lan Yu feigned a deaf ear and continued to show her back to the others.

“Damn it!”

The Third Dragon Crown Price narrowed his eyes. Just as he wanted to reach out to Lan Yu, a powerful surge of Immortal’s Core energy blasted out from her.

With its dense level of Gilded Traits, the energy blasted him away.

“You people are disturbing me from reminiscing about my master.”
