Chapter 867: The Fourth Fragment
Luozi Fala took out a rather exquisite communication device, dialed a contact on it, and moments later, a holographic image was projected from the device—it was Wang Genji!
Recently, Wang Genji got bored of playing with the ancient divine chariot, and inexplicably got obsessed with Alchemy!
This was exactly what Fang Jueyu had hoped for. His Ming Sect's Alchemy division just so happened to need a director. With Wang Genji's strength and status, wouldn't he be perfect for the position?
Fang Jueyu generously shared all his knowledge about Alchemy with Wang Genji, including everything obtained from the Root Universe. Now his level is such that he can create pills that even the most outstanding Alchemists in this universe can't produce.
Now, the Divine Rich Civilization's snack gift packs are produced by the Alchemy division managed by Wang Genji. While making money for Fang Jueyu, he feels like he's fulfilling his life ideals, completely unaware that Fang Jueyu is using him as a tool for profit.
At this moment, Wang Genji was sitting cross-legged in front of a red Alchemy Furnace, holding two dazzling flames in his hands, looking very much like a legitimate Alchemy Master.
"These are the Origin Fires!" Luozi Fala, very familiar with flames, immediately saw the grade of these two flames. "When did this guy..."
Suddenly, his gaze refocused on that Pill Furnace, where several animals formed from condensed pill energy were swirling around. Although he couldn't practice Alchemy, having seen such things before, Luozi Fala knew many Alchemists.
The animals formed from this medicinal energy were called Medicine Spirits; the medicine has spirit—this is the hallmark of a divine pill! For an Alchemist, a divine pill is just a pipe dream, akin to a Divine Weapon for an Artifact Refiner!
He was certain that in the past, Wang Genji, aside from showing off and causing trouble with his Demigod cultivation, had no other specialties! As for Alchemy, he had definitely never touched it!
How long has it been since they last met, and he can already refine divine pills? Has he been possessed by an Alchemist from the Root Universe?
"Luozi Fala, you old rascal, what do you want? Can't you see I'm busy?" Wang Genji wouldn't show respect to anyone. If he was displeased, he'd start cursing. Interruptions during this critical Alchemy moment could ruin all his hard work.
"Wang Genji, I have something to ask you!" Luozi Fala cut straight to the point.
"Spit it out fast! If you make me fail in Alchemy, I'll dismantle your Artifact Refining Association!" Wang Genji said impatiently.
"Have you joined the Ming Sect?"
"That's right!" Wang Genji admitted readily. Since joining the Ming Sect, he discovered more fun things and learned a lot of stuff that interested him. How could he not be immensely happy?
"It's actually true?" Luozi Fala now mostly believed the conditions offered by Fang Jueyu.
"Why? Do you want to join as well?" Wang Genji smirked slyly, "The entry threshold for our Ming Sect is quite high, but if you call me daddy, I could put in a good word for you. Haven't you always wanted to forge Divine Weapons? Joining our Ming Sect will absolutely let you learn whatever you want, even those materials you've been searching for years..."
"Get lost!" Before Wang Genji finished, he was directly yelled back by Luozi Fala, who didn't want to give the old rascal any advantage.
But through this conversation, he also believed that the Ming Sect definitely has the capability to offer him everything he desires!
"What are they even talking about?" Luozi Fala had used his power to isolate the surrounding area, leaving the audience and other Artifact Refiners only able to see them conversing.
"They must be negotiating terms, right?"
"Could Wang Dachui even offer terms that would tempt Lord Luozi Fala?"
"Of course! The Divine Refining Technique!" someone pointed out plainly, "If Wang Dachui is willing to hand over the Divine Refining Technique, I think no Artifact Refiner could refuse!"
"But can he even provide such a thing? This technique alone could lead a bottom-tier civilization to prominence."
"That's hard to say."
....
"Well, Mr. Luozi Fala, I didn't deceive you, did I?" Fang Jueyu said with a smile, squinting at Luozi Fala.
"Chairman, the information you wanted investigated has been thoroughly checked!" At this moment, another Artifact Refining Master approached him.
"So, what did you find?" Luozi Fala asked eagerly.
"Yeah, we received reports from the human secret outpost on Beast God Continent that recently, the continent was unified by a half-human named Xi Yangyang!"
"Xi Yangyang? Who is this?" Luozi Fala had never heard of the name before.
"According to our intel, Xi Yangyang comes from the green pastures of Divine Rich Civilization, accompanied by another half-human named Grey Wolf and two fierce beast descendants."
"Just two half-humans and two fierce beast descendants?"
"No!" the Master replied, "You may find it hard to believe, but Xi Yangyang claims to be the reincarnation of the Beast God, and he assembled ten thousand Demigods, directly conquering the Demigods on Beast God Continent!"
"Ten thousand?" Luozi Fala couldn't help but shiver. Are there really that many Demigods in this world? He hadn't even seen a hundred, let alone ten thousand. "Is this information reliable?"
It wasn't that he didn't believe it; it was just too unbelievable and hard to accept.
"This is the footage from that time!" The Grandmaster transmitted the on-site data to Ziluo Farra's intelligent system, "These are raw data images, not tampered with in any way!"
"Ten thousand Demigods..." Luozi Fala murmured, realizing that if this news spread, the entire universe would be in an uproar.
He sneaked a glance at Fang Jueyu, who was looking at him meaningfully, "Truth be told, they are all from our God Rich Civilization's Sheep Village Ming Sect division!"
"This is what you meant by far more than ten people?" Luozi Fala was suddenly amused; now it had increased a thousandfold. Who could handle that!
Earlier, he was disdainful of the Ming Sect's size, thinking it couldn't accommodate a big guy like him. But now he realized the Ming Sect actually had ten thousand Demigods, making him feel insignificant!
"Fine, I'll join the Ming Sect!" Without needing much thought, Luozi Fala immediately agreed.
"Ming Sect welcomes you!" Fang Jueyu broke out in laughter. Convincing the Chairman of the Artifact Refining Association to join Ming Sect was almost like annexing the entire association.
"Congratulations, Host, you have completed over 70% of your final stage permission task."
"Getting closer and closer!" Fang Jueyu suppressed his internal excitement. However, compared to completing the task and advancing to Transcender, he had even more pressing matters to attend to!
"Mr. Ziluo Farra, besides participating in the Artifact Refining Tournament this time, I also have an important task assigned by the Sect Hierarch: searching for a very crucial item and hope to utilize your resources here in the Asiga Civilization to help me out."
"Rest assured, as long as it's within this Asiga Civilization, nothing can escape our sight!" Ziluo Farra already considered Fang Jueyu as someone on his level and took this as a chance to show loyalty to the Ming Sect!
"I'm looking for this kind of golden fragment, have you seen it?" Fang Jueyu used the holographic projector to display the Divine Core Fragment.
"This...." Ziluo Farra's expression subtly changed when he saw the Divine Core Fragment.
"Have you seen it?" Fang Jueyu immediately knew there was hope when he saw Ziluo Farra's expression!
"To tell the truth, this item is right on me!"
