You're just a single demon beast? I have a whole army of beast tamers!

"Seventy percent?" Shen Liuli said. "I thought you had ninety percent."

"If it were just me alone, 70%."

Qin Shou said, "If five of your natal beasts simultaneously provide support, add another 20%."

Shen Liuli said, "That's enough. If all else fails, there's always our dual cultivation technique."

Qin Shou's eyes flickered, and a smile appeared on his lips:

"Are you trying to help me?"

Shen Liuli didn't respond to that, but only said:

"Once things settle down on Xiaoxuan Island, I'll accompany you into seclusion."

Qin Shou responded and carefully put away the Nine Souls Immortal Pill.

He sat in the room for a while, recalling the events of the day's meeting.

The matter of the Seven-Patterned Immortal Pill will be known to all forces within three days at the latest.

What he needs to do now is to clean up the mess with the Shui family before the news fully spreads.

The Three Immortals Sect reacted even faster than Qin Shou had anticipated.

On the night of the final, the main hall of the Three Immortals Sect was brightly lit.

The sect leader sat at the head of the table, with a jade slip in front of him.

Tang Shen, the head of the intelligence hall, stood at the lower end and recounted the origins of the Qin beast.

"This person smuggled himself from the spirit world."

Tang Shen said, "It's unclear which specific spirit realm it is at the moment."

Our people only found out that he first appeared near Baiyan Immortal City, and then moved to Wucang Immortal City, where he became the alchemist serving the Shui family.

This person has an extremely high talent for alchemy, but previously he had only shown a level of about three lines of alchemy within the Shui family.

The sudden emergence of seven runes today is most likely a deliberate attempt to conceal one's true abilities.

After listening, the sect leader asked:

"Besides alchemy, what else is special about this person?"

Tang Shendao said, "He once made a move in the Shui family in his early years and single-handedly killed a True Immortal."

However, the methods used have not yet been found.

The sect leader gave an "Oh," his eyes showing a hint of interest.

"A pseudo-immortal can kill a true immortal even if he is above his level, and can also refine a first-grade immortal pill with seven patterns."

He's a rare all-rounder.

Tang Shen said, "Sect Master, most of this person's family members are in the Shui family."

His three Daoist partners were all women from the Shui family. They had many children and grandchildren.

"These are no problem," the sect leader said. "There are quite a few elders in the sect who also have families."

People who have attachments are actually easier to control.

You relay my message: bring this person to the sect's main hall tomorrow.

As for his family, they will be brought over after he settles down on Xiaoxuan Island.

Tang Shen agreed and turned to leave.

As soon as he reached the entrance of the hall, an old man with a white beard walked towards him.

The old man walked with his hands behind his back, his steps unhurried. He merely nodded to Tang Shen before heading straight into the main hall.

Tang Shen recognized the man and quickly stepped aside to bow.

This old man was Chi Hongbo, another Golden Immortal of the Three Immortals Sect, a third-grade immortal alchemist, and the Supreme Elder of Danxia Peak.

As soon as Chi Hongbo entered the main hall, he sat down below the sect leader and got straight to the point:

"What's the name of that kid who developed seven runes during the day?"

The sect leader glanced at him and smiled, "Elder Chi has heard about it too?"

"Five seven-patterned first-grade immortal pills have blown up the entire Danyin Immortal City. If I haven't heard about it, I might as well lose my ears."

Chi Hongbo said, "I came tonight to take on a disciple."

The sect leader was not surprised.

The old man always valued alchemy prodigies the most.

He said:

"This boy is named Qin Shou. He was originally a rogue cultivator and is now a retainer of the Shui family."

I have asked Tang Shen to investigate, and his background is actually clean.

However, this person is low-key and keeps a deep secret.

Before you accept him as a disciple, you may meet him first.

Chi Hongbo said, "I will go and see for myself."

If he is willing to become my disciple, my lineage will have one more person capable of refining the seven runes.

Don't worry, I won't compete with the sect for him. He can continue refining pills for the sect as he should.

However, his alchemy skills cannot be wasted.

The sect leader nodded: "With Elder Chi personally involved, I am at ease about this matter."

Chi Hongbo didn't stay long, and stood up, saying, "I will go down the mountain to Danyin Immortal City tomorrow."

"Have someone tell that kid not to leave."

The sect leader smiled and agreed.

The next morning, just as Qin Shou finished stretching his muscles in the courtyard, people from the Shui family arrived.

It wasn't a true immortal surnamed Zhou, but a steward from the Shui family who delivered a communication jade slip.

Qin Shou took it and probed it with his divine sense.

The jade slip contained a message from Shui Chenyuan, consisting of only a few short sentences:

"The Shui family will not interfere with the affairs of the Three Immortals Sect."

You are free to make all your own decisions regarding your actions on Three Immortals Island.

Don't forget the promise we made a hundred years ago.

Qin Shou put away the jade slip, a cold smile playing on his lips.

Shui Chenyuan indeed didn't dare to stop him.

Not only did they not stop him, they didn't even say a harsh word.

Ultimately, the name "Three Immortals Sect" is more effective than the threat posed by "Ten Thousand Demons Sect."

Shen Liuli also saw the contents of the jade slip and said:

"Shui Chenyuan is leaving himself a way out."

The more stable you are within the Three Immortals Sect, the more the Shui family will have to curry favor with you.

Whether they fawn over me or not, I don't care.

Qin Shou said, "Just don't set your sights on my tribe's land."

"Once you establish yourself on Xiaoxuan Island, the Shui family won't be able to exert their influence."

Shen Liuli said.

Qin Shou nodded and walked out of the courtyard.

Elder Liu was waiting in the front hall. When he saw him come out, he whispered:

"Someone from the Three Immortals Sect has arrived. They say they are here on the orders of the sect leader and request that you come over."

Qin Beast looked outside.

A small, silver-white boat was moored in front of the shop, and a disciple of the Three Immortals Sect was waiting on board.

Upon seeing Qin Shou emerge, the disciple bowed slightly and said, "Young friend Qin, the sect leader invites you."

Qin Shou straightened his robes and stepped onto the small boat.

The small boat took off and flew towards the Three Immortals Sect.

Qin Shou stood at the bow of the boat, looking down at the ever-shrinking Dan Yin Immortal City, and a sense of bewilderment suddenly arose in his heart.

When he first entered the Immortal Realm, he was chased like a stray dog ​​in the Black Rock Wasteland.

Only a few decades have passed, and he is already sitting on the small boat that the Three Immortals Sect came to welcome him.

The world changes faster than the fire in the alchemy furnace.

Half an hour later, the small boat landed below a floating fairy mountain.

Qin Beast looked up and saw a white jade staircase stretching straight up from the foot of the mountain into the clouds.

The disciple who was leading the way went up the steps and led him through three mountain gates to a grand hall.

Several people were already waiting in front of the hall. Tang Shen stood below the steps and nodded to Qin Shou when he saw him arrive.

"The sect leader is inside. Come with me," Tang Shen said.

Qin Shou followed him into the main hall.

The hall was sparsely furnished. The sect leader sat at the head of the table, with an old man with a white beard sitting beside him.

The old man was dressed in a gray cloth robe, with a thin face, but his eyes were surprisingly bright. Qin Shou only stared at him for a moment before feeling a slight tremor in his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Young friend Qin, this is Elder Chi Hongbo of Danxia Peak."

The sect leader spoke, his tone gentle, "Elder Chi heard that you have refined seven runes and wishes to meet you."

Qin Shou clasped his hands in greeting: "Junior greets Senior Chi."

Chi Hongbo sized him up for a moment, then suddenly said:

"Let me see the Seven-Pattern Condensation Elixir."

Qin Shou took out a jade bottle from his sleeve and handed it over.
