Chapter 323: Are You Sending Me Away Like a Beggar?

"Alright, for now, I just need fifty spiritual plants for refining the Ascension Pill! If that’s not enough, I’ll send a Transmission later!"

"Senior Brother Feng Yu, take care! The spiritual plants will be sent over shortly!"

As Ji Yang left the spiritual herb garden, he shook his head slightly.

It seemed that Alchemy Peak didn’t have as much to offer! He had just gained a little cultivation points, and once he finished refining the Ascension Pill, there probably wouldn’t be much benefit left.

The completion of the Ascension Pill would also mark Ji Yang’s departure from the sect!

As for the pills he had refined earlier, Ji Yang didn’t plan to return them.

By the time Ji Yang returned to his residence, the Ascension Pill formula and spiritual plants had already been sent to his loft.

This formula was not recorded in the Recipe Pavilion due to its low practical value, and it was likely that the two guard disciples were being nice in hopes of building a good relationship with him, the genius Alchemist.

However, this was no longer important to Ji Yang.

After carefully reviewing the formula, Ji Yang began refining pills again.

The Ascension Pill was indeed a high-level pill, just as the two guard disciples had said; the difficulty of refining it was quite high, and Ji Yang initially failed several times with the first few furnaces.

But this was just a temporary issue; as Ji Yang’s skill improved, he quickly gained a lot of cultivation points from this pill.

After ten days, Ji Yang had finished refining all the spiritual plants for the Ascension Pill.

His cultivation points had risen from 398 to 460 points.

Unfortunately, each furnace of the Ascension Pill didn’t produce many pills, or else he could have accumulated even more.

Nevertheless, accumulating so many cultivation points within a month of arriving at the Heaven Demon Sect left Ji Yang feeling quite satisfied.

After completing the last furnace of Ascension Pills, Ji Yang did not hesitate to put the Seven Star Dan Furnace into his storage bag.

In a few days, it would be time for the monthly assessment; if he didn’t leave now, he would have to hand over his pills.

Moreover, it had been some time, and the deterrence from Wu Laoda might not last much longer, so for his own safety, he needed to leave quickly.

Organized and ready, Ji Yang slowly walked out of the Alchemy Room. Looking up, he saw that the sky was already dark—it was the perfect time to leave.

Ji Yang stopped hesitating and headed directly down the mountain.

To avoid detection by patrolling cultivators, Ji Yang didn’t fly but used the God Travel Technique to walk, minimizing the chance of being spotted.

Of course, more importantly, Ji Yang’s primordial spirit energy was strong enough; he could both conceal his tracks and anticipate dangers, allowing him to avoid areas watched by other disciples!

Soon, Ji Yang arrived at the mountainside.

Not far ahead of him, two guard disciples were stationed.

Ji Yang planned to take a detour since he had made quite a name for himself at Alchemy Peak, and encountering them could lead to some trouble.

Just as Ji Yang was about to veer off, a cold voice suddenly called out from behind:

"Stop!"

Immediately, a powerful primordial spirit energy locked onto him from the shadows.

Ji Yang’s body froze for a moment; he considered his primordial spirit energy to be strong, yet he hadn’t even noticed when this person arrived behind him.

Could it be the Deputy Peak Master from Alchemy Peak? Or perhaps another high-level cultivator from the Heaven Demon Sect?

However, upon feeling the strength of this person’s primordial spirit energy, Ji Yang furrowed his brow slightly.

This was at most the primordial spirit energy of a Spirit Transformation Stage cultivator, not the high-level cultivators he had imagined!

This discovery made Ji Yang refrain from acting rashly; instead, he chose to observe the situation.

Even if this person was indeed a cultivator from Alchemy Peak, he felt no fear. After all, his current identity was still transparent, and since he hadn’t done anything out of the ordinary, even someone from Alchemy Peak could only respectfully call him "Senior Brother."

With this thought, Ji Yang’s expression relaxed, and he turned to look at the person, speaking in a reprimanding tone:

"Who are you? Don’t you know who I am? How dare you speak to me like that!"

"And you are?"

Ji Yang’s rapid-fire question did not bewilder the person behind him. From their tone, Ji Yang sensed a hint of excitement, which felt a bit off to him.

At that moment, Ji Yang turned around to get a clear look at the speaker. It was a young male cultivator, dressed in the disciple clothing of the Heaven Demon Sect, and quite average in appearance.

However, Ji Yang immediately realized that this person was using some disguise technique to hide his true looks.

"I am Feng Yu from Alchemy Peak. Who are you, sneaking around like this?"

Ji Yang questioned, but his voice was not loud.

Upon hearing Ji Yang’s reply, the young man looked excited.

"You’re the Feng Yu from Alchemy Peak, the new genius Alchemist recently?"

Seeing this person recognize him, Ji Yang smiled slightly.

"That’s good to hear. Who are you, and why are you at my Alchemy Peak? If you can’t explain, don’t blame me for informing the patrolling disciples!"

"Alright, alright! Finally, I’ve found my chance!"

The young man did not answer Ji Yang but spoke to himself.

After finishing his sentence, the young man’s aura surged violently, as he broke through from the Spirit Transformation Stage to the Void Refinement stage in an instant!

Then, he directed all of his aura towards Ji Yang, locking onto every move Ji Yang made while whispering a threat:

"Kid, you better not act rashly; otherwise, your life won’t be safe!"

Noticing the young man’s sudden change in strength, Ji Yang’s expression tightened. It appeared he had underestimated this person and did not expect him to be at the Void Refinement stage.

However, Ji Yang considered himself not weak; even a Void Refinement stage cultivator didn’t intimidate him.

But after a moment’s deliberation, Ji Yang chose not to act rashly. Engaging with this person could expose his true strength, making it hard to explain later.

Moreover, since this person hadn’t attacked directly, it was clear he had ulterior motives. So Ji Yang decided to endure for now and assess the situation further.

Ji Yang’s face turned pale as he stammered,

"Senior, please spare me. I am just a common cultivator from Alchemy Peak with no grievances against you. Please let me go."

His expression was fearful and very apprehensive!

"Such poor acting!"

A voice echoed in his mind from the middle-aged man in the fixed-point object.

Ji Yang ignored it.

But the young man in front of him smiled mockingly:

"What kind of genius Alchemist are you? Just like this. A demonic sect is still a demonic sect; even a genius lacks backbone!"

Ji Yang’s eyes shifted slightly; from the young man’s words, could it be that he wasn’t a disciple of the Heaven Demon Sect after all? Otherwise, he wouldn’t refer to them as a demonic sect.

Ji Yang found this interesting, but he still maintained a fearful expression:

"Senior, do you need spiritual stones? I have some pills and spiritual stones on me. If you want them, please feel free to take them!"

After saying this, Ji Yang dumped his storage bag onto the ground. A few low-grade spiritual stones scattered out.

As for the other items he had, they were naturally kept inside the Heaven’s Secret Pearl.

Looking at the few scattered spiritual stones on the ground, the young man’s expression darkened:

"Do you think I’m sending away a beggar?"

After saying this, his expression darkened even more. He wasn’t here to rob this person.

It was all because of this kid that he got led astray!
