    • Chapter 38: Forced to Kill Again – Slaying the Second for “Two”

      Chapter 38: Forced to Kill Again – Slaying the Second for “Two” Cover
      by SurroundedbyBooks "Two?" Yu Xian naturally noticed the fusion of the two Ascension Tokens. Looking at the changed number, he muttered, frowning, "Killed one and it became 'One'… So if I kill two, it becomes 'Two'?" The red light from his token became even more blinding. Because he had killed, Yu Xian became a glowing beacon, a priority target for others. His Ascension Token now shone so brightly that he could no longer see others' tokens in the distance. But they… could all see his. That meant ambushes. Group…
    • Chapter 36: Ascension Begins with Each Step—The Mountain Stairway on the Island Cover
      by SurroundedbyBooks From a distance, the Ascension Island didn't seem large. But the moment they landed, they realized—it wasn't a mere island. It was practically a miniature continent! Vast forests filled the landscape, towering mountains reached into the clouds, strange birds soared across the sky, and distant howls of unknown beasts echoed in the night. It was a land of untamed wilderness! As the last light of the sun faded into the western horizon, night fell and moonlight spread across the land. The group quickly…
    • Chapter 34: Alchemy Deal and the Grand Ascension Ceremony

      Chapter 34: Alchemy Deal and the Grand Ascension Ceremony Cover
      by SurroundedbyBooks Quan Dao's smile stiffened slightly. He looked at Xiao Wusheng and said, "Brother Xiao, surely you're joking?" Xiao Wusheng replied calmly, "Why would I joke, Elder? Or are you implying my disciple hasn't awakened the Ascension Token?" "Hmph!" Quan Dao glanced at the calm-faced Yu Xian and sneered. "He did awaken it, yes. But Brother Xiao, are you unaware of his spiritual root? A low-grade wood root! What use is Ascension for someone like him? It's a complete waste of a precious slot! Even if I…
    • Chapter 35: Only Five Ascenders—Crossing the Seas to the Island

      Chapter 35: Only Five Ascenders—Crossing the Seas to the Island Cover
      by SurroundedbyBooks Yu Xian's Ascension Token had long since been activated. So all he needed to do was hold it in his hand, and a faint glow emerged. As for the other disciples... No one really knew how many under-the-table exchanges had taken place with those Elders. Were those tokens being activated here for real? Or had they already been pre-assigned and replaced? After all, once an Ascension Token was activated, it didn't need to be awakened again—just a show of formality was enough. It would remain active until…
    • Chapter 32: A Grand Master-Accepting Ceremony, Witnessing the Refining of a Tier-Four Pill Cover
      by SurroundedbyBooks Yu Xian's whole body trembled! To become a pill refining disciple in the Pill Refining Hall was already a great honor. But to become the personal disciple of Xiao Wusheng—now that was something on an entirely different level! He had never imagined that Xiao Wusheng would accept him as a disciple! That was... a master-disciple relationship... With tightly pressed lips, he looked at Xiao Wusheng's kind expression, took a step back, and knelt down with reverence. "Yu Xian is willing to acknowledge…
    • Chapter 33: Learning Alchemy, a Visit from Quan Dao

      Chapter 33: Learning Alchemy, a Visit from Quan Dao Cover
      by SurroundedbyBooks Xiao Wusheng was refining a fourth-rank pill—the Blood Lotus Spirit Pill. He couldn't be distracted by anything, so he couldn't speak. But Yu Xian was watching everything intently, memorizing as many details as he could. Yet the hand techniques Xiao Wusheng used would require intense future practice to master. Over a hundred spiritual herbs were quickly activated by Xiao Wusheng's techniques and thrown into the pill furnace. Then came the flesh and core of an unnamed demonic beast. Using beast cores…
    • Chapter 31: Transferred to the Alchemy Hall, Xiao Wusheng Wishes to Accept a Disciple Cover
      by SurroundedbyBooks Xiao Wusheng beamed with joy, gently lifting Yu Xian up by the arm. Smiling, he said, "Good, good! Come, follow me to find Su Mofeng. From today onward, you are a disciple of my Alchemy Hall!" Yu Xian forced a smile and nodded, following behind Xiao Wusheng. He was happy to be joining the Alchemy Hall—but he couldn't bring himself to smile. The jade pendant on his chest… would no longer grow warm. The treasure his mother left behind, one that helped him find ore, had spared him countless hardships…
    • Chapter 29: Judiciary Demands Clarity — Life-or-Death Alchemy Duel

      Chapter 29: Judiciary Demands Clarity — Life-or-Death Alchemy Duel Cover
      by SurroundedbyBooks The disciples from the Judiciary Hall were all older—veterans of the outer sect who had trained for years yet failed to make it into the inner sect. The man leading them looked to be in his forties. He stepped in front of Yu Xian and asked sternly, "So, you're the one reselling Herb Pavilion's materials to rogue cultivators outside the sect for spirit stones?" Yu Xian answered calmly, "Senior Brother Zhou, this is slander. I have not resold any herbs." "Senior Brother! He's lying!" Gao roared. "If he…
    • Chapter 30 – Alchemy Duel Ends in Victory, Xiao Wusheng Accepts a Disciple

      Chapter 30 – Alchemy Duel Ends in Victory, Xiao Wusheng Accepts a Disciple Cover
      by SurroundedbyBooks At that moment, the crowd of onlookers held their breath, eyes wide with anticipation. Alchemy itself wasn't a rare event. But performing alchemy in front of such a massive audience? That was rare! Especially when the stakes were life and death! This young man… truly had skills and courage beyond measure. Yu Xian remained calm. He raised his hand with practiced ease. The hand techniques he had drilled thousands of times over the last three months were now as natural to him as drinking water. Eight…
    • Chapter 28: Extortion at the Herb Pavilion — Knocked Them All Down Bare-Handed Cover
      by SurroundedbyBooks Yu Xian secretly let out a sigh of relief. He took out a storage pouch and respectfully said, "Senior, I want to sell a hundred pieces." "Oh? Why so few this time?" Yue Pingfeng chuckled. "You used to sell four or five hundred at a time." Yu Xian's face turned slightly red. "I can't always be that lucky… sometimes more, sometimes less." "Hahaha! A hundred is still plenty," Yue Pingfeng laughed. He took the pouch, gave it a glance, and extracted the Lieyang Spirit Stones. He then placed fifteen…
