The group of Peak Masters looked at Huai and rolled their eyes at him together as if they didn't know about it... They wanted to know how he got the medicine; they wanted to know if he had any more of those pills.
Huai looked at them and smiled a mischievous smile and said, "What? Do you want the prescription to make that medicine now? I can give you that prescription if you need."
Everyone became dumbfounded. What the hell? What is this guy speaking about? It was already a miracle to have a single Golden Essence Nirvana Pill, but the Sect Master just said he has the formula to make those pills? Are they dreaming? Especially Mu Qing. His opened mouth was already drooling. He is an alchemist. Alchemy is a revered profession.
Even the Goddess took extra care of the alchemists. Huai looked at him and the other Peak Masters, then Gu Xuan, and said indifferently, "Don't act as if you don't see anything in the world; it's shameful..."
Everyone came back to normal by realizing their misbehavior. Huai looked at the team again and said, "Go and destroy the Li family. Take their family assets and take every land they had, every property, and everything they had..." But seeing the faces of the elders, he already knew what they were worried about, so he said indifferently, "Don't worry about the Goddess; I'd take care of that matter..."
At this moment, Ba Tian asked curiously, "Umm, Sect Leader, I have a question?"
Huai: "Yes, ask."
"Sect Leader, just what realm are you at right now?"
By hearing this question, Huai showed a genuine smile at the elders who were listening carefully so that they didn't miss anything, then disappeared from the hall...
Gu Xuan smiled, then sighed a deep breath. He shook his head to himself.
Ba Tian: "Did I ask a wrong question again?"
Before anyone said anything, Gu Xuan said, "Don't ask that question again to the Sect Master. You should know, in the same realm, you can feel the fluctuations from anyone, even if the gap is level 1 and peak. But now I'm already a Nascent Soul level 1 cultivator, but I still can't find any fluctuations from the Sect Master..."
These words just left his mouth and the whole sect fell silent once again... You should know, if what the Ancestor said is true, then at least Huai is a genuine Spirit Transformation expert...
They nodded their heads towards Gu Xuan and started discussing how they were going to destroy the Li family... At this moment, Ba Tian left the hall and started collecting the space pouches of those five cultivators from the Li family sneakily, but was discovered by Su Yun. Then all the Peak Masters had a brawl competition between them to see who was going to win a space pouch of those five people...
The whole sect was in a joyous moment right now. The sect disciples also knew about Huai taking care of the Li family. The whole sect became lively in just a few breaths...
When everyone was enjoying their time—some enjoying the victory, some discussing about their new Sect Master, and some ready to go to the Li family to destroy it—Huai stood straight, watching the moon that hung above the sky again...
"Aren't you going to come out?"
An ethereal image came out of the void. Huai was still watching the moon hanging above, not looking at the figure... After a few seconds, Huai looked at the holographic image of the beautiful girl. Nexus, the Goddess, looked at Huai with curiosity.
You should know, Nexus has all the details of humanity. She also knows this guy; this guy was first discovered in the huge forest of the Western Region of the Blue Star. That forest is a forbidden zone for humanity, so she doesn't know how Huai ended up there. But later, she checked Huai many times for any abnormality. Every time, the result was the same: a human with no cultivation level.
But what did she see now? Just a few hours ago, when the Li family came to invade this sect, this guy with no cultivation released a cultivation level of Soul Transformation level 1. How is it possible? That's why the Goddess became interested in Huai more...
She said coldly, "Do you know what it means to kill a Nascent Soul level 2 cultivator without any reason?"
She is smart; she knows what she is doing. She just wants to see what Huai is going to do now in the face of the authority of the Human Federation.
Huai smiled at her and said, "Goddess, isn't it your duty to check every medicine store in humanity to see if they added some traceless poison to the medicines or not?"
This question felt as if a cold arrow pierced through the Goddess's chest, although she is a virtual entity still...
"That! That was my fault..." She continued, "But you just gave the order to destroy the whole Li family? What about that?"
Huai looked straight into the eyes of Nexus. This is the first time a human, other than the 13 Sovereigns, looked directly at her eyes. Nexus felt uncomfortable...
Huai sighed then asked, "Be clear, Goddess, what do you need?"
Nexus didn't even take a breath. "Contribute the Golden Essence Nirvana Pill formula to the Federation..."
Before she said anything more, Huai said indifferently, "Hmm, it is okay to give you that formula, but I also want to add some conditions..."
"What conditions?"
"1st: I want my sect to have a higher level amongst all 9th-tier sects. 2nd: I want to see the details of humanity."
Nexus thought about something, then said, "The 1st one is possible, but for the second one, you could only see the files according to your contribution level. You are now a level 0 contributor, but if you contribute to the Humanity Federation and reach the level of 9th-tier, no one at the 9th-tier level can see your information except those higher rank than you... and you can see all the details at the corresponding rank."
Huai nodded after hearing all this and waved his hand. A parchment flew out of his hand and went straight towards Nexus. Nexus took that parchment... and started scanning...
(Scanning in process... 1... 2... 3... Processed successfully. The rank is 7th tier! A 7th-tier pill formula: Ancient Pill — GOLDEN ESSENCE NIRVANA PILL)
Nexus looked at Huai and asked curiously, "Didn't you say it is an 8th-grade pill formula to your clansmen?"
Huai: "Oh, did I say that? Maybe I was tripping."
He really said that intentionally. By just seeing an 8th-grade pill, they reacted like that; if they knew it was a 7th-grade pill, they'd start laughing in their dreams...
Nexus looked at him and said, "But until I check it with an alchemist, I can't issue the corresponding rewards and contribution points or authority."
Huai looked at her and said, "Oh, why do you need an alchemist to check that? Can't you calculate it by the pill formula?"
Nexus said, "No, I need to see the real pill so that I can accurately know the effects of the pill."
Huai looked at her, then said to her, "Then wait here for a few minutes..." Huai didn't know why, but in his mind, he had vast knowledge of alchemy up to immortal-grade pills... so he wanted to try alchemy now...
Huai took out those medicinal herbs needed to make this Golden Essence Nirvana Pill, then he waved his hand and all the herbs started melting in the air. Nexus was watching blankly; she never saw an alchemist doing alchemy like this...
Then Huai waved his hand again, and by just the gesture, the impurities from the liquid medicinal herbs separated and turned into mist in front of their eyes. Then Huai mixed those purified medicinal liquids step by step... After mixing all of the medicinal liquids, he waved his hand and a spirit fire appeared in his hand that any Spirit Transformation cultivator can produce... Using the fire, he solidified the medicinal liquids, and little by little, 12 golden pills with 3 patterns on each pill were formed.
A strong smell of the pills swept through everywhere. Nexus looked at those pills and then at Huai and said, "You... you are an alchemist?"
An alchemist is a huge security target for Nexus. An alchemist can change the course of action in any war; they can provide countless pills that can easily win any wars if needed... A high-level alchemist is a huge gain for humanity, and Huai just made 12 incredibly potent 7th-grade pills. You should know that making pills is not an easy task at all; in a batch, an alchemist could normally make at most 1 pill of lower grade, or none at all... the higher the potency of the pill, the more difficult it is to make.
But what did she see? She saw him making 12 supreme-grade pills in a single batch without even using any furnace? What was that alchemy technique?
Huai looked at her and just nodded. Nexus looked at Huai and asked deeply, "What tier alchemist are you?"
Huai: "Oh, I don't have any certificate or qualification of alchemy..."
Nexus almost tripped over by hearing that answer. What do you mean by "you don't have any certificate or qualification"? Just by the performance of making 7th-grade potent pills, he is at least a 6th-tier alchemist...
Nexus looked at Huai and asked for a pill. Huai gave a pill from his hand, then she scanned it...
(Scanning in process... 1... 2... 3... Checking the quality, potency, and grade of the pill... Confirmed details: 7th-grade supreme rank pill. The Golden Essence Nirvana Pill. Potency level: 100%)
If Nexus was just wondering about Huai's qualifications before, then now she confirmed that Huai is not only a genuine Spirit Transformation expert, but he's also a 6th-grade alchemist...
Nexus said to him, "Human cultivator Shen Huai, Sect Master of the 9th-tier higher-level sect, The Eternal Sect. I, the Nexus Sovereign, by the name of the Human Federation, now declare that you contributed the 7th-tier Golden Essence pill formula to the Humanity Federation. Your contribution exceeded your authority. Now issuing the rewards:
Reward 1: 7th-tier citizen of Red Lotus Galaxy.
Reward 2: 6th-grade alchemy badge.
Reward 3: 18,000 contribution points."
Huai felt speechless. He knew that just by submitting a 7th-grade pill formula he could get an authority of at least 8th-grade, but what is this 7th-grade authority? Aren't those 7th-tier Sect Masters the only ones with that kind of authority on this planet? What Huai was confused about more was the 2nd reward...
Huai asked, "Goddess, what do you mean by 6th-grade alchemist?"
Nexus: "7th-tier citizen Shen Huai made 12 potent supreme-grade 7th-tier pills in a single batch. Only 6th-grade alchemists can make supreme-grade pills with 30% potency... if I was not restricted by the law, I'd even give you a 5th-grade badge."
By just saying that, Nexus was going to go back when Huai asked her embarrassingly, "Hmm, Goddess, about the Li family..."
Before he said anything more, Nexus looked at him and then said with a mischievous smile, "What Li family?" And then she disappeared.
Huai looked at the spot where Nexus disappeared and smiled at himself. It was successful to make a fool out of Nexus...
At this moment, in the Li family, the rest of the elders and Young Master Li Tian were enjoying a feast. His severed hand was already regenerated using the pill. They were enjoying the feast with huge laughter and alcohol...
An elder: "Hehehe, Young Master, your acting was like a cherry on top of an ice cream..."
Another elder said, "Yes, Young Master, you don't know for how much time we have waited for this moment..."
The last elder said, "Yes, today we will have the feast for winning over the whole Eternal Sect treasury... hehehe."
Li Tian's face was furious. He said, "All of it is okay, but that Lin Feng... he dared to cut off my hand. I already told my father to take him back alive; I'll kill him with my own hands."
At this particular moment, a disciple with disheveled clothes entered the room where everyone was enjoying. Everyone looked at him. He is a disciple of the Soul Tablet Hall. The disciple breathed a few mouthfuls of air, then said with horror all over his face:
"Young Master! Elders! All... all of the soul tablets of the Ancestor, Family Head, and Elder He, Wei, and Rong...all of them broke... All of them are dead..."
A huge silence swept over the room...
