Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Hearing Chen Tian's words, the Mad Old Man's expression froze.

After a long while, he sighed and slowly said, "Let me put it this way, of the five people who went with me, three died and two were injured. Even I lost three ancient immortal treasures in order to barely escape. Now, do you understand what I mean?"

Although the Mad Old Man's words were very calm, Chen Tian's heart was filled with shockwaves after hearing them.

How could he not understand the hidden meaning?

You must know that the five people at the same level as the Mad Old Man also possessed the strength of the Sky Realm.

But such a terrifying team actually suffered three deaths and two injuries in the Demon Realm Ruins.

In other words, the road leading to the Ancient Immortal Realm in the Demon Realm Ruins must be full of dangers that ordinary people cannot imagine.

At this moment, the Mad Old Man had recovered from his previous lonely mood. He looked up and saw Chen Tian's pensive look, and he immediately laughed, "What's wrong, boy? What are you thinking about?"

Hearing this, Chen Tian temporarily put aside his doubts about the Immortal Cultivation Alliance and shook his head, "It's nothing."

Seeing Chen Tian's forced expression, the Mad Old Man frowned and said, "To be honest, are you still thinking about the Immortal Cultivation Alliance and the Frozen Demon Realm?"

"Hey, Master, you're overthinking it. After listening to your words, I know that the origins of this matter are quite deep. How could I still wade into this muddy water?" Chen Tian said with a light smile.

"I'm relieved that you can think like this." The Mad Old Man nodded in satisfaction and said, "Actually, you should also be clear that since the rise of this Immortal Cultivation Alliance, the entire Immortal Cultivation World has undergone a drastic change. Even the Frozen Demon Realm, which has always been hidden from the world, is now struggling to protect itself. Therefore, in this chaotic world, I don't want to see you being used by people with ulterior motives, thereby ruining your future."

It could be seen that the Mad Old Man cared about Chen Tian extremely, even to the point of being somewhat doting.

Chen Tian was not a fool and could naturally feel the Mad Old Man's care for him. He was moved and said, "Disciple will keep Master's words in mind."

After saying that, Chen Tian bowed deeply to the Mad Old Man with his hands clasped.

Seeing Chen Tian's sensible appearance, the smile on the Mad Old Man's face became even stronger. Just then, he seemed to have thought of something and suddenly patted his forehead, bitterly smiling, "I was so busy telling you about the Demon Realm Ruins that I almost forgot the important thing."

After saying that, the Mad Old Man looked at Chen Tian with a mysterious expression, a hint of smugness on the corner of his mouth, "Since you have become a disciple of this old wreck, then I will naturally not mistreat you. Now, I will give you a great gift."

As he spoke, the Mad Old Man waved his tattered sleeves, and suddenly a ray of light rushed out and landed in front of Chen Tian.

When the light faded, Chen Tian finally saw these things clearly. They were actually some jade bottles and jade slips.

The jade bottle closest to Chen Tian was shaped like a slender neck and was made of a piece of high-quality chicken-blood stone, which was extremely smooth.

Chen Tian looked at it with curiosity and was about to reach out to take it.

However, just as his palm was three inches away from the jade bottle, suddenly, an extremely violent spiritual force burst out from the jade bottle and hit Chen Tian's palm, causing him to subconsciously withdraw his hand.

Seeing this scene, Chen Tian was not angry at all. Instead, his eyes revealed an extremely excited look, and he excitedly said, "Master, is there an immortal pill inside?"

"Hehe, that's right. These things are all my trophies over the years."

The Mad Old Man chuckled, then waved his hand and pulled out all the bottle stoppers on the jade bottles.

At this moment, spiritual pills shining with strange light floated up from these jade bottles, quietly suspended in mid-air.

As soon as they appeared, gusts of violent storms raged in this small wooden house, so strong that they almost blew the broken house down.

But Chen Tian couldn't care about these things anymore. His eyes were fixed on these pills full of endless spiritual power.

These were all immortal-grade pills, and there were as many as ten of them!

Looking at the shocked expression on Chen Tian's face, the Mad Old Man smiled slightly, then waved his hand again, and the immortal pills slowly sank, returning to the jade bottles, and the stoppers in the air immediately blocked the bottle mouths, preventing any spiritual power from overflowing.

"Hehe, you don't know, I went to great lengths to get these things. I used all the means I could, and in the end, I even acted shamelessly to snatch these pills from my stingy old buddies. People have disciples, and I, Old Man, also have disciples. Can't you understand my feelings as a master? Good disciple, you be the judge, are those old guys too stingy!"

After glancing at the jade bottles containing the immortal pills on the table, the Mad Old Man complained to Chen Tian incessantly, as if he had suffered a lot of grievances.

After Chen Tian patiently listened to his complaints, he took a deep breath, and then bowed deeply to the Mad Old Man again.

Seeing this, the Mad Old Man's expression suddenly changed, and he stepped forward to help Chen Tian up, saying, "What are you doing?"

Chen Tian was moved and said with a firm expression, "Master's kindness to disciple is as heavy as a mountain. This kindness, disciple will definitely repay in the future."

Chen Tian was not a cold-blooded person. He could tell who was good to him and who was bad to him. Although at first, Chen Tian thought that this Mad Old Man had other plans for him, after these days of getting along, Chen Tian had already let go of his grudges. He believed that this Mad Old Man loved him from the bottom of his heart.

In this Mad Old Man, Chen Tian found the care that Lan Wu lacked back then!

Looking at Chen Tian's appearance, the Mad Old Man first smiled, but then, as if he had thought of something, he sighed, "Alas, I originally wanted to stay and spend more time with you, but unfortunately, I have something I have to do next, so we can only part temporarily."

Chen Tian was originally in endless emotion, but after hearing the Mad Old Man's words, the expression on his face suddenly froze.
