“You should stop boasting.” Huo Kun didn’t believe what Jiang Chen had stated at all. Even though the Cliff Mountain’s high-level members were startled by this, one could still see that their faces were filled with doubt.

“Jiang Chen, I don’t want that kind of answer.” The Cliff Master was still unmoved, and he didn’t care about it at all. He said, “If the Cliff Mountain needed its disciples to provide resources for it to train them, wouldn’t it just become a joke?”

“Cliff Master!” Huo Kun had a bad feeling when he heard this, and he became anxious. However, when the Cliff Master cast a glance at him, Huo Kun could only swallow his words. The Cliff Master saw through him thoroughly, and he felt like the outer party could read his mind.

“What I want to hear is,” the Cliff Master continued, “Whether you will cultivate like this in the future. If that’s the case, the Cliff Mountain will create a cultivation program up to your standards.”

Jiang Chen was startled by this. He hadn’t paid anything when he had joined the Cliff Mountain, and he had received everything free of charge. It was because of this that he took matters slowly and didn’t go too overboard.

“Cliff Master, my Fire Lore already reached the second level, and that won’t happen again for the time being,” Jiang Chen said.

“Okay!” The Cliff Master adhered to his wish. He said, “As for what you stated about improving the cultivation grounds, it would be good for us if you could achieve it, but the Cliff Mountain will surely pay for it.”

“Please don’t. I’m not someone who can just take without giving anything in return,” Jiang Chen said. He really wouldn’t accept taking remunerations for this.

“Huo Kun, I was already aware at an earlier time about your dirty tricks, so please restrain yourself. I want Jiang Chen to be safe and sound and participate in the Title Battle,” the Cliff Master warned Huo Kun.

Upon hearing him, Huo Kun’s expression changed several times, while the Fire Venerable’s face became filled with confusion. Even though he was the Fire Department’s teacher, he was still unaware of the troubles that Jiang Chen had suffered in the previous days.

“Let’s see how can you improve it.” Huo Kun gritted his teeth. It was obvious from his gaze that he wasn’t willing to drop this matter.

Jiang Chen admired the Cliff Master’s generosity, so he didn’t mind at all handling this for him. He landed on the plaza and took a Formation Compass. The eight pillars started revolving after a short while, and many flickering patterns appeared on them. This was also the case for the ground of the plaza.

“Okay. You’re all dismissed.”

After seeing Jiang Chen begin to reform it, the teachers there drove out the disciples to prevent any accidents from occurring. Even Huo Kun was driven out.

Yang Fan walked beside Yang Fan and asked carefully, “What should we do?”

On this day, Jiang Chen hadn’t just reached the second level, but he had also suppressed them, which would affect their prestige in the Fire Department. What was more grave was that if Jiang Chen continued growing stronger, he wouldn’t only pose a challenge to them; he might even replace them.

“I just came to the Cliff Mountain to cultivate, yet the Cliff Mountain still ordered me around like that?” He snorted. “I still want to kill him regardless of anything else.” Huo Kun’s voice was ice-cold. He was a member of the eight great Spirit Clans, and he always acted as he wished in the Ten Prefectures.

All of a sudden, they heard a disturbance transmitting from behind them before they had even gone far away. When they turned their heads and looked back, they witnessed the plaza’s eight pillars emitting raging flames once again.

“What’s going on? Weren’t all the lore crystals consumed?” Yang Fan and Huo Kun were puzzled, but they recalled afterward what Jiang Chen had said about altering the plaza. It seemed like he had succeeded.

When the Fire Department’s disciples felt the heat of the raging flames in the plaza, they all started cheering.

“There will only be only of us in the Cliff Mountain, either me or him,” Huo Kun said coldly. When a Fire Spirit like him got angry, their hair seemed like a burning flame.

In the plaza, after Jiang Chen took care of the matter, he clapped and said to himself, It’s time to start making a Heaven Elixir.

Everything had proceeded according to his plan, and he wasn’t far from his goal—the Celestial Venerable Realm. However, making a Heaven Elixir wasn’t an easy matter.

It wasn’t like people who became Heaven Alchemists could unceasingly make Heaven Elixirs like one could make fried beans. The production of just a single Heaven Elixir was a complex process that required much time and effort, or else Jiang Chen wouldn’t have decided to start it only after his Fire Lore reached the second level.

Just the process of gathering spiritual herbs would consume a large amount of time, however, since Jiang Chen was now a member of the Elixir Association, he had many advantages.

After a short while, Jiang Chen was surprised when he discovered that the Elixir Association came for him just when he had planned to look for them.

When Jiang Chen had just opened the door of his room, he saw the president of Wing Prefecture’s Elixir Association, Yang Jingchi, standing outside. He was startled by his presence there.

“Should I call you Young Master Feng or Jiang Chen?” Yang Jingchi said with a smile.

When they met the last time, Jiang Chen used his identity as Young Master Feng all along, and in the end, he didn’t inform him of his true name.

“Jiang Chen,” Jiang Chen said with a smile. He wasn’t surprised by the fact that the Elixir Association had discovered him.

Recently, he didn’t just use the Elixir Association’s Itinerary Stone, and he had even revealed the Elixir Association’s Heaven Alchemist’s badge. If the Elixir Association couldn’t detect even this matter, it didn’t deserve to possess such a great status in the Three Middle Realms.

“I’ve come to give you a gift.” After Yang Jingchi was invited by him into the room, he took out a square-shaped box.

Jiang Chen’s expression became solemn because this wooden box’s materials were quite special. In other words, just this wooden box alone was quite expensive, which meant that the object inside it would be more extraordinary.

“A Heaven Elixir?” Jiang Chen recognized the wooden box’s materials. They were materials used to store Heaven Elixirs. He took the box and opened it. As he had expected, he found a Heaven Elixir in the middle of the box.

“This elixir was made personally by the Great Elder for you, and it isn’t an ordinary elixir,” Yang Jingchi said.

Jiang Chen nodded. He had also noticed that this was a yellow-grade Heaven Elixir of the highest quality.

Unlike Spirit Elixirs, Heaven Elixirs weren’t divided into nine grades, from first to ninth. This was because Heaven Elixirs were quite rare, and they couldn’t make such a detailed grading system for them.

The principle behind it was the same as Doctrine Artifacts, which were also graded from the highest grade, heaven, to earth, and mysterious, then the lowest grade, yellow.

This yellow grade Heaven Elixir would save him at the very least two months of time that he would have spent making an elixir.

“The material benefits provided by the Elixir Association really surpassed my expectations,” Jiang Chen said jokingly. He knew that the Elixir Association wouldn’t treat him this well for no reason.

“This isn’t a material benefit that just anyone can get. You also must do something in exchange,” Yang Jingchi said.

“What’s that?” Jiang Chen was interested to learn this Heaven Elixir’s price.

“The Elixir Fire Union proposed an alchemy contest where young alchemists will compete,” Yang Jingchi replied truthfully. “It just happens that you’re also quite young, and your current appearance isn’t known by people, so we want you to go there.”

“The Elixir Fire Union really doesn’t want to give up, but regardless of whether they win or lose, it will still raise their fame and prestige. So why did the Elixir Association accept?” Jiang Chen asked.

The Elixir Fire Union was too insignificant in comparison to the Elixir Association, and the latter could just ignore such a challenge.

“Do you still remember what I said about the ten great fire control techniques? The Elixir Fire Union stated that they will hand one over to us if they lose.

“Since the Elixir Fire Union has already stated this, we can’t find a reason to refuse them. Moreover, once we get their fire control technique, they won’t pose a threat to us any longer.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen understood everything. “When it will be held?” he asked.

“After four months. That period is long enough for you to consume the Heaven Elixir and become a Celestial Venerable.”

“Since that’s the case, I don’t have any reason to refuse.” If Jiang Chen refined the Heaven Elixir by himself, he would need two months, and it could be said that he would gain many advantages in this deal.

Moreover, the Elixir Association didn’t ask him to win the contest; it was enough for him just to participate in it.
