77.Immortal Mastery Token

Seven days later. Huang Zhiwen stood in the alchemy room with a solemn expression, and in front of him were two elders. Yuan Yuan stood on one side of the room, looking stunned.

Huang Zhiwen hung his head, twirling a pill between his fingertips. Finally, he raised his head and looked at the two elders, saying, "Keep this matter confidential. Don't reveal even a bit of it."

"Yes." The two elders responded and then left.

Seeing that the people had left, Yuan Yuan said anxiously, "Master, can we still keep Xu Shan here?"

Just now, the two elders who had gone to inquire about Xu Shan's news had returned. The news they brought back almost scared him out of his wits!

Xu Shan, a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, a person with Heavenly Luck supernatural powers, someone recognized by the inheritance of the Immortality Seeking Platform, who had overwhelmed his peers in the Centennial Grand Competition of the Shuijing Domain, leading the crowd and helping the Xinglan Sect to win the championship in one fell swoop.

Each and every piece of news made Yuan Yuan feel so ashamed that he wanted to crawl into a hole in the ground. They were all people, all Foundation Establishment stage cultivators. Why was someone else's life so exciting? All he could do was refine pills and test them in the sect. He was just like a country bumpkin.

However, the problems on Xu Shan were obviously quite troublesome. The inheritance of the Immortality Seeking Platform.... This thing was too famous! Everyone in the Shuijing Domain knew about it! His master only had the cultivation level of the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage. If someone came to cause trouble, the Baodan Sect definitely couldn't withstand it.

"Master... Master!" Huang Zhiwen seemed to be lost in thought, and Yuan Yuan called out to him twice immediately.

"What is it?" Huang Zhiwen said indifferently.

"Xu Shan... He has the inheritance of the Immortality Seeking Platform! Master... What should we do?" Yuan Yuan's eyes showed a meaningful look. Xu Shan couldn't be kept, but maybe the inheritance could be kept...

"Come here, let me tell you." Huang Zhiwen waved at Yuan Yuan.

Yuan Yuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva and leaned in.

Smack! Huang Zhiwen struck like lightning and slapped him so hard that he spun around on the spot.

Yuan Yuan covered his face and looked at his master in a daze. "Master, why did you hit me?"

Huang Zhiwen sneered. "Why do you think I hit you? Stop having such crooked thoughts. No matter how good the inheritance is, it's the inheritance of sword cultivators. What does it have to do with you! I hate swords the most! You don't focus on refining pills properly. What's the use of thinking about all those irrelevant things!"

"You've barely been out of the sect a few times, but you have such big dreams."

"But you can't hit me like that..." Yuan Yuan said aggrievedly.

Huang Zhiwen raised his right arm, put his arm around Yuan Yuan, rubbed his head roughly, and sneered, "My good disciple, you have so many fellow disciples in the sect. In terms of talent, you're just average. Why do you think I chose you as my direct disciple?"

"Maybe it's because I can endure the poison better..."

"Nonsense!" Huang Zhiwen flicked him on the head. "You still haven't figured it out? I accepted you because you love refining pills more than others. It's that simple."

"If you don't like it, no matter how talented you are, I won't accept you! So put away those little thoughts of yours and focus on learning alchemy. If you dare to have other thoughts..... Get out of the Baodan Sect!"

Huang Zhiwen almost roared out the last sentence. Yuan Yuan was so scared that he kept begging for mercy. "I was wrong, Master. I was wrong.... But I was also thinking about the sect. What if others come to snatch the inheritance of the Immortality Seeking Platform?"

Huang Zhiwen snorted coldly. "Then we'll fight them! If I really want to protect Xu Shan, I want to see who dares to touch him!"

"With what? We don't even have the qualification to participate in the Centennial Grand Competition." Yuan Yuan said dejectedly.

Why hadn't he noticed that his master had so much confidence before?

Looking at Yuan Yuan's spineless appearance, Huang Zhiwen was annoyed. With a thought, a jade token appeared in his hand!

The jade token shone with a greenish luster, exuding an extraordinary charm.

"With this."

"What is this?" Yuan Yuan looked at the jade token, and the beautiful sight deeply attracted his gaze. This must be a magic treasure made by a famous magic tool forging master, and it was extremely remarkable! It was beautiful, exquisite, profound... and there was also a faint hint of a magnificent aura.

Huang Zhiwen waved his hand, held the token in front of his eyes, admiring it, and said slowly. "This is called the Immortal Mastery Token. There are only seven of them in the world. Four of them have already been used, and the whereabouts of the other two are unknown."

"Master, this magic treasure must be very powerful, right?" Yuan Yuan said, drooling.

"Powerful?" Huang Zhiwen chuckled, put away the token, and said, "It doesn't have much power. It's just a decorative thing. This token is just a proof."

"This token was made by the magic tool forging masters of the Taigu Pavilion. Whoever uses this token to establish a sect is equivalent to directly signing the Taigu Covenant and joining the Taigu Pavilion! When a new sect is established, according to the rules, the Taigu Pavilion will protect the new sect's safety for fifty years, and outsiders are not allowed to interfere."

"Tell me... If I give this token to Xu Shan, let him establish a sect and join the Taigu Pavilion, who would dare to touch him then?"

"This... This..." Yuan Yuan was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

The Taigu Pavilion was composed of various top sects and was the most powerful force in the cultivation world of the northern region, the maintainer of the order in the cultivation world! There was actually such a precious treasure in the Baodan Sect?

"Master, isn't there any condition for using such a precious treasure? A sect established by a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator joining the Taigu Pavilion seems a bit... uh..."

Huang Zhiwen smiled and said, "It's quite strange. The seven Immortal Mastery Tokens refined by the Taigu Pavilion at the beginning all had their owners. In addition to the top sects, when the Taigu Pavilion was first established, they also wanted to recruit the most powerful group of wandering cultivators to join. The Immortal Mastery Tokens were prepared for these wandering cultivators."

"But these old monsters calculated everything and grandly sent out the Immortal Mastery Tokens. Unexpectedly, they were slapped in the face by the wandering cultivators."

"These extremely powerful wandering cultivators were all naturally unrestrained and uninhibited people. They didn't refuse the invitation of the Taigu Pavilion, but after getting the tokens, they turned around and sold them. It's said that the cheapest one was sold for only a hundred spirit stones. This has become the biggest scandal of the Taigu Pavilion."

"When they grandly sent out the tokens at the beginning, they didn't specify the names of the recipients. Now that the situation can't be reversed, any sect can use it to join the Taigu Pavilion."

It seemed that he had thought of something pleasant, and the smile on Huang Zhiwen's face grew wider. "A Foundation Establishment stage cultivator joining the Taigu Pavilion and being with a group of old monsters... It's really interesting to think about it! Hahahahaha!"

Hearing Huang Zhiwen's wild laughter, Yuan Yuan opened his mouth wide.

"This is so ridiculous. Won't the Taigu Pavilion change the rules? And how did you get the Immortal Mastery Token, Master?"

Huang Zhiwen's laughter gradually stopped, and he shook his head. "Change the rules? Changing the rules is like slapping themselves in the face. Besides, the sects that have used those four Immortal Mastery Tokens are all extremely powerful, so it doesn't disgrace the prestige of the Taigu Pavilion."

"I guess the Taigu Pavilion didn't expect that someone would overestimate their capabilities and use it randomly, so the rules haven't been changed."

"As for how I got it.... Hehe, I stole it." Memories gradually emerged in Huang Zhiwen's eyes. "I planned to use it to establish a sect in the Lingmu Domain and show my ambition! But after I went there, I realized it was just asking for humiliation.... The Lingmu Domain has so many alchemy cultivation sects and so many geniuses that it's beyond compare."

"As a second choice, I came to the Shuijing Domain. Using the Immortal Mastery Token here is a waste, so I've kept it until now."
