Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

As usual, while Chen Tian went inside to discuss matters in detail with Qin Yi, Xiao Feng stood guard outside, keeping watch for them.

Having learned from the last lesson, Xiao Feng had specifically secured two incense sticks' worth of time for Chen Tian. As the time had not yet come, he appeared quite relaxed, leisurely pacing along the stone corridor outside the main hall.

But at that moment, a plume of black smoke suddenly shot out of the main hall, abruptly halting before Xiao Feng. The black smoke dissipated, revealing Chen Tian's figure.

"Oh, Fellow Daoist, why are you so quick this time? There's still time left; you could have talked a bit longer." Seeing that it was Chen Tian who had appeared before him, Xiao Feng was rather surprised.

"Alas, Brother Xiao, your words are mistaken. What we lack most right now is precisely time. Alright, let's not delay any further; let's hurry back," Chen Tian shook his head slightly, then headed towards the cave entrance.

Xiao Feng was stunned by this sight, clearly not understanding what Chen Tian meant by those words. However, seeing Chen Tian about to walk far away, he didn't dare delay and quickly chased after him.

"Master… Oh, no… That… hey you, come over here!"

Just as Chen Tian and Xiao Feng were quickening their pace to leave, a sharp voice suddenly rang out behind them.

The voice was quite familiar. Chen Tian paused for a moment after hearing it, then turned around and saw Han Wuming standing at the entrance of the main hall, beckoning to him.

The main hall was a hundred zhang away from Xiao Feng, and with several layers of soundproofing and shadow-blocking restrictions set up nearby, Xiao Feng couldn't see what was happening here.

Therefore, after Chen Tian approached, Han Wuming grinned, reverting to his previous obsequious manner. He took out a brocade box from his sleeve and respectfully handed it to Chen Tian, saying, "Master, it's nothing much, it's just that Miss Qin suddenly asked me to give you this."

"Hmm, Qin Yi asked you to give it to me?"

Hearing Han Wuming's words, Chen Tian was momentarily stunned. Then, he quickly took the brocade box. As soon as he opened it, an extremely rich medicinal fragrance and an incredibly vast spiritual power surged out.

Chen Tian was shocked by this sight. When the light dissipated and he looked inside the brocade box again, he found more than a dozen spiritual pills emitting various colored lights lying inside. They were all Xuan-grade spiritual pills.

"This is…"

Looking at the dazzling array of Xuan-grade spiritual pills and their large quantity inside the brocade box, Chen Tian was somewhat surprised. He raised his head and looked at Han Wuming in confusion, seemingly waiting for his explanation.

Seeing Chen Tian's surprised expression, Han Wuming twitched his nose with his hand, smiled triumphantly, and said, "Has Master forgotten so quickly? Didn't the Brahma Sect bring a lot of materials for Miss Qin to refine Xuan-grade pills?"

As the saying goes, a word awakens the dreamer. And Han Wuming's words instantly awakened Chen Tian.

Chen Tian finally remembered that the Brahma Sect, in order to squeeze out the last bit of Qin Yi's value, had brought many precious materials for Qin Yi to help them refine several batches of Xuan-grade pills.

This was originally a clever move by the Brahma Sect, but they never expected that it would now become an extremely昏庸昏庸 act.

The heavenly materials and earthly treasures that they had painstakingly collected were indeed refined into Xuan-grade pills as planned, but ultimately they did not belong to them, instead falling into Chen Tian's pocket.

The Brahma Sect wanted to make a move to卸磨杀驴, but they didn't expect Chen Tian to be the螳螂捕蛇 in the back, taking advantage for nothing.

If the Brahma Sect's several grandmasters knew that the pills they had refined using nearly half of their treasury's materials had ultimately been taken away by Chen Tian, they would probably be so angry that they would vomit blood on the spot.

However, Chen Tian would not pay attention to these things. Faced with this 'generous gift' from the Brahma Sect, Chen Tian, of course, accepted it unceremoniously.

After putting away the brocade box filled with Xuan-grade spiritual pills, Chen Tian instructed Han Wuming, "Be more careful these days, and take care of Qin Yi. She is doing something important for me, and no one should be allowed to disturb her, understand?"

"Rest assured, Master, this old servant knows what to do," Han Wuming said respectfully, bowing.

Seeing this, Chen Tian nodded, gave a few more instructions, and then turned around and walked towards Xiao Feng.

"Fellow Daoist, did something happen just now?" Seeing Chen Tian approaching, Xiao Feng asked with some curiosity.

"Oh, it's nothing, just some small matters. Never mind, Brother Xiao, let's leave quickly," Chen Tian casually prevaricated, and then hurriedly walked towards the cave entrance.

Although Xiao Feng was suspicious upon seeing this, he ultimately didn't ask anything, catching up with Chen Tian and walking out of the pavilion with him.

After returning to the courtyard, the two exchanged a few more pleasantries, then parted ways.

After entering the room in the east wing, Chen Tian waved his hand and set up a powerful restriction, sealing the door and windows.

Only then did Chen Tian let out a long sigh of relief, taking out the brocade box from his bosom.

Opening the lid of the box again, little deer, auspicious turtles, celestial cranes, and other animals transformed from spiritual light rushed out of the box, running rampant in Chen Tian's room.

These animal phantoms were all manifestations of the Xuan-grade spiritual pills in the box.

And this was enough to prove that the quality of these spiritual pills was very high.

Chen Tian was overjoyed by this sight. He had to know that although he had already cultivated to the Spirit Gathering stage, he still needed to raise his cultivation to the Great Perfection of the Spirit Gathering stage in order to use the 'Three Aspects Immortal Condensation Art'.

Previously, in the 'Starry Sky Sect' and the 'Void Sect', Chen Tian had already raised the realm of the Immortal Clan avatar and the Demon Clan avatar to the Great Perfection of the Spirit Gathering stage respectively.

So at this time, as long as he also raised the cultivation of the Demon Clan avatar to the Great Perfection of the Spirit Gathering stage, then he could use the 'Three Aspects Immortal Condensation Art' and break through to the Transformation Spring Mirror in one fell swoop.

And only by reaching the strength of the Transformation Spring Mirror would Chen Tian have the confidence to rescue Qin Yi and Han Wuming.

So now, for Chen Tian, every minute and every second was crucial, and he had to seize the time. Thinking this way, Chen Tian no longer hesitated, pinching a spiritual pill with two fingers, tilting his head, and swallowing it.
