Chapter 225 - 224: The Origin of the Purple Talismani



The Pill League Alliance Hierarch stared intently at the purple talisman, his body trembling slightly.

Li Cheng looked at the ‘old man’ in front of him, feeling something strange, because this ‘old man,1 with his hair as white as a crane’s but with child-like features, appeared like a seven or eight-year-old child yet emanated an air of ancientness.

And the aura radiating from his body was no weaker than Yan Bei’s; without a doubt, he was an Immortal Emperor!

Li Cheng secretly clicked his tongue in wonder, as this was beyond his expectations; he had not thought the Pill League’s Alliance Hierarch would actually be an Immortal Emperor.

The Alliance Hierarch, overcome with excitement, quickly grabbed Li Cheng’s hand, “Little guy, come with me!”

Li Cheng didn’t even have the chance to resist before he was pulled into the Pill Immortal Tower, arriving at the highest level.

The Pill Immortal Tower had nine levels altogether; Li Cheng had only been to the first level previously, where apart from white mist, he knew nothing else, but this ninth level was a graveyard!

A hundred miles of graveyard!

Countless graves, large and small, littered the area; many graves didn’t even have tombstones, but those that did were all marked “The Tomb of Some-so, Ninth-Level Alchemy Dao Immortal Master!”

Seeing those tombstones, Li Cheng’s expression turned to one of shock, “All of these are top Pill Masters?”

“Let me introduce myself first; I am Gu Sanqiu, the Alliance Hierarch of the Pill League, the 19,972nd generation Alliance Hierarch of the Pill God Alliance!” the Alliance Hierarch took a deep breath and said.

Li Cheng was puzzled, the Pill League, the Pill God Alliance?

Gu Sanqiu knew of Li Cheng’s confusion and explained with a wave of his hand, The Pill League is just the name proclaimed to the outside; in truth, our Pill League is the Pill God Alliance, an extraordinary force that has been inherited through numerous eras!”

With that, Gu Sanqiu pointed to the numerous graves below, “These are all former Alliance Hierarchs of the Pill God Alliance, without exception, all were top Alchemy Dao Immortal Masters!”

Gu Sanqiu then pointed towards the sky, “Above, buried are quite a few Alchemy Dao Divine Masters!”

Li Cheng quickly spoke up, “Elder Gu, let me straighten this out first!”

Li Cheng was somewhat confused; the Pill God Alliance, having passed through numerous eras and now incarnated as the Pill League, what was this all about?

The lofty Alliance Hierarch, why was he so eager to drag him to this place? What was he trying to do?

To let himself join the Pill League?

“Straighten out what? Little guy, you’ve obtained the purple talisman, which means that more than fifty percent of the predecessors buried here have a favorable opinion of you; you are the next Alliance Hierarch of the Pill God Alliance!” Gu Sanqiu said sternly.

“Elder, don’t rush me; I’m a bit overwhelmed. Let’s talk about the purple talisman first,” Li Cheng said with a wry smile.

Gu Sanqiu’s brow lifted, “The purple talisman is the condensed will of the predecessors, only appearing once every million years. To obtain the purple talisman means to gain the recognition of these predecessors.”

“Also, why don’tyou refine the purple talisman first; I’m not in a rush.”

Li Cheng looked at the purple talisman before him, the condensed will of so many predecessors?

If he were to refine it, wouldn’t that mean he could receive the direct enlightenment from these predecessors and his cultivation would soar?

“Why aren’t you refining it yet? What are you thinking about?” Gu Sanqiu urged.

Li Cheng was speechless; weren’t you not in a hurry?

Hurry, hurry, don’t be like an old lady. Once you refine the purple talisman, there won’t be any bottlenecks all the way until you reach Complete Immortal Emperor, what are you hesitating for?” Gu Sanqiu urged again.

Li Cheng glanced at Gu Sanqiu, was this little old man really so impatient?

Seeing Gu Sanqiu about to rush him again, Li Cheng hurriedly took the purple talisman into his body, starting the refining process.

Gu Sanqiu then nodded satisfactorily, “I’ve waited a million years, finally, someone recognized by the purple talisman has appeared. Little guy, in the future, you’ll be my successor. The day I pass away, the Pill League will be relying on you!”

Elder, your vitality is surging, and your longevity is far from over. There’s no need to rush about the matter of a successor,” Li Cheng said while continuing with the refinement.

“What do you know? It’s always better to find a successor sooner. If you get the hang of it earlier, I can also retire sooner,” Gu Sanqiu said.

He paused for a moment, and as if struck by a sudden thought, Gu Sanqiu exclaimed, “I can’t believe I haven’t even asked for your name! Crazy, I’m sorry, I got too excited. Boy, introduce yourself!”

Li Cheng’s facial muscles twitched, “Junior Li Cheng, Eighteenth Elder of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect in the Southern Domain, I grew up in the sect since I was young…”

“Okay, that’s enough, the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, it’s that guy Tianji Zi’s sect from the Immortal World, right?” Gu Sanqiu interrupted Li Cheng’s introduction.

Li Cheng nodded and didn’t speak further, deciding it was better to just listen to Gu Sanqiu.

“Well, that’s quite the coincidence. I’m quite familiar with Tianji Zi. But never mind that, have you finished refining yet?”

Li Cheng shook his head.

“Then hurry up!”

A moment later, Gu Sanqiu asked again, “Finished refining?”

Li Cheng shook his head once more, wanting to say, if you keep disturbing me like this, how am I supposed to refine?

Being distracted like this isn’t the way to multitask, is it?

“What’s with that look? Hurry up and refine!” Gu Sanqiu gave him a look of exasperation.

Li Cheng’s mouth twitched as he activated the Rule of Fire and ran the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture, quickly beginning the refining process.

“That’s more like it. What were you dawdling for before?”

“Oh? So much of the Rule of Fire. No wonder you got the purple talisman. With the assistance of the talisman in the future, your grasp of the Rule of Fire will certainly be more efficient.”

“Oh? The Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture? You actually obtained this cultivation technique? It’s the renowned technique of the Chaos Yuan Great Venerable, one of the top ten mystical scriptures, and one of his disciples is buried there.”

Faced with Gu Sanqiu’s endless chatter, Li Cheng found himself caught between laughter and tears. Couldn’t the Alliance Hierarch be a bit more composed?

However, Gu Sanqiu’s talk did reveal a fair amount of useful information.

After a long while, Li Cheng finally refined the purple talisman. A purple talisman seal emerged at the spot between his eyebrows, ethereal and majestic. With but a thought, the talisman emitted a gentle glow and behind Li Cheng, a vast expanse of phantoms appeared, filling the air with a terrifying presence.

“Don’t recklessly use the purple talisman. You can use it when you’re cultivating or facing an enemy, but don’t just play around with it without a good reason,” Gu Sanqiu warned.

Li Cheng nodded, “Elder Gu, you mentioned the Chaos Yuan Great Venerable just now and even said that one of his disciples is buried there. Do you know the whereabouts of the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture?”

This question, I naturally don’t know the answer to. But don’t worry, with the Pill League’s resources, we should be able to find it,” Gu Sanqiu said confidently.

Li Cheng took it as if he had never asked and changed the subject, “The Alchemy Dao Assembly is about to start, shall we go outside?”

Gu Sanqiu slapped his forehead, “The excitement almost made me forget. Let’s go!”

“Although the purpose of holding the Alchemy Dao Assembly is to find a successor, and we have found one, it has become a tradition over the years and naturally must not be overlooked!”

“It just happens to be a good opportunity for me to see your accomplishments in Alchemy Dao!”

Once they left the Pill Immortal Tower, they saw that the crowd of spectators had not dispersed, but had actually grown.

Gu Sanqiu frowned and said loudly, “Disperse, disperse! What is everyone crowding around for?”

“Alliance Hierarch, we heard someone obtained the purple talisman and became the Young Alliance Master, is that true?” someone in the crowd asked.

Gu Sanqiu pondered for a moment, then smiled, saying, “Since there are so many onlookers, I will say it. Yes, the Young Alliance Master has appeared. From now on, the words of the Young Alliance Master are my words. Did you hear?”

Li Cheng inwardly smiled bitterly, it seemed so childish to become the future Alliance Hierarch of the Pill League so abruptly!
