The Western Lightning God and the tree-headed elder were also stunned. The latter was more confused because he knew very well a person like Hua Tuo, even in front of other geniuses, he would not give much face.
Qin Tian ignored their astonishment, he patted Hua Tuo’s shoulder as if he was his senior.
“Your alchemy talent is also outstanding, but as you can see, even if you are five times better than the other four alchemy emperors, it is still impossible for you to win the heavan’s will in this era,” he said.
“I know,” he answered. “I still have eyes to see a dragon and a phoenix hiding, you and this lady are not people I can fight.”
“…”
“Ehmmm,” the Western Lightning God cleared his throat. He stepped to approach Hua Tuo, he said, “Young master Hua, can you come with us, the other elders are waiting for you, we need your help refining pills that only a peerless genius like you can do. Of course, we will compensate you according to your prowess.”
Hua Tuo didn’t answer right away, he spoke to Qin Tian once more, “Brother Qin, there’s still something I want to do, we’ll meet again after this. Rest assured, I will support you, I don’t mind refining pills for free to anyone who helps you.”
“Thank you, I know your help is worth a diamond,” Qin Tian replied.
Hua Tuo then followed the Western Lightning God, the tree-headed elder followed behind him, but he couldn’t stop staring at Qin Tian in astonishment.
He investigated many times, even secretly using sect relic artifacts, but he found nothing.
Qin Tian and his aunt did not follow them. After they disappeared, his aunt was a bit sullen. “You are only praising yourself, and also, he should support me becoming emperor, not you.”
“Auntie, this is just to make it look more flowing, because he supports me, it means he also supports you because I support you.”
“Hmph…”
“Auntie, is there anything else we need to do?”
“For now, do something that can make the elders support me, you can promise them more pills. We also need to draw support from outside experts through this. Those elders, their minds will definitely be disturbed if most of the experts in this heaven support me. Let’s go back first.”
Elsewhere, Hua Tuo was brought into a quite spacious hall, here, not only were the elders, but the disciples were also allowed to enter, there were thousands of them inside.
He couldn’t help but observe the ancient gods sitting on the highest place in the hall, apart from the few he had seen, most of them only used their spiritual bodies.
Some gave off a very frightening feeling even though they only showed their spiritual bodies. He knew that they were ancient gods who used the word king as their title. Their strength was definitely not inferior to the Dark God of the dark heaven.
Among them, the strongest seemed to be the Fire God King, he was sitting in the middle and his figure was also blurred. His gaze made Qin Tian feel somewhat uncomfortable.
He then sat down on the chair provided for him.
“Ha-ha-ha, it’s been a long time since our sects met,” said one of the kings.
“It has indeed been a long time,” the tree-headed elder replied. “Without an alchemy genius like Hua Tuo, how could our little sect be able to accept your invitation.”
His tone was a little sarcastic, but it was just a joke.
The ancient gods just smiled.
“Well, let’s get to the point,” said the Fire God King before looking at Hua Tuo.
“So young master Hua, are you sure you can fulfill our request?”
“I have absolute confidence as long as you provide the resources,” Hua Tuo replied.
“Since you said it in private, so I can be more calm. As for your request, let’s just say, in these sixteen heavens, there are few that we can’t do, and they’re also something that other sects definitely can’t do.”
“Ha-ha-ha, I know that, otherwise, why would I come here. But, I don’t actually need anything really important right now. For now, I just want to help brother Qin and that lady with the aim of building good karma. So if you guys want to pay me, just do as I did. Oh, I will help refine pills for anyone who does the same as long as their cultivation is at the paragon realm.”
The Fire Gods, “…”
…
Hua Tuo was given a special place in the hall of fire. The place was filled with various kinds of flames and in the center was a very large cauldron. The ancient aura emanating from the cauldron was even more formidable than most imperial weapons.
“So this is a cauldron from the Land of Fire, truly something beyond imagination,” he said in a low voice.
“That’s right, are you interested in having one,” someone replied.
A flame appeared at his side, forming a faint face.
“Fire God King, I didn’t expect you to appear here,” Hua Tuo pretended to be surprised.
Of course, Qin Tian secretly began to compose words to talk to the Fire God King for him to give information about the Flame Emperor’s younger brother. In Hua Tuo’s memory, the fire hall envoy who came to him had several times uttered confusing words. He didn’t completely understand, but Qin Tian understood what he meant. It also confirmed that the fire hall was the group that supported the Flame Emperor’s younger brother.
“Young master Hua, are you interested in becoming the next alchemy emperor?” asked the Fire Lord.
“Yeah, of course, I’m very interested,” Hua Tuo replied. “But I know this era is not mine.”
“Yes, you are right, this era belongs to Master Yan.”
“Master Yan?” Hua Tuo looked at the Fire God King in bewilderment.
“I’ve never heard of that person.”
“That’s natural, after all, you are not from this heaven, but when he appears, there will definitely be no one to stop him in the sixteen heavens. Young master Hua, I have a message from him, he is interested in recruiting you to be part of his faction. As long as you join, countless treasures and rare herbs will be bestowed upon you.”
“Oh,” Hua Tuo looked at the Fire God King strangely. “If he is as strong as you say, doesn’t that mean he is no different from an emperor, does an emperor still need a small alchemist like me.”
“There is a reason in every event, and he is not the emperor, he is only as strong as the emperor, unfortunately now he is still in the process of doing something.”
“As strong as the emperor, elder, is it really possible?”
“That’s not possible in the usual way, but what if one had control over one of the Uninhabited Land.”
Hua Tuo’s eyes shone.
“So, what’s your decision, young master Hua?” asked the Fire God King.
“Emmm,” Hua Tuo pretended to think. “Let me think first, brother Qin is too extraordinary, I need some time to consider.”
“That boy?” The Fire God King’s eyes flashed a sharp light.
“He is indeed something, but even if the Flame Emperor is reborn, he is destined to lose, is he more powerful than the Flame Emperor? Even Titania, there is no way she can fight Master Yan with just her strength.”
“That’s true, but from what you said, this Master Yan only relies on external good. He may have the upper hand now, but after he becomes Emperor, will he still be able to fight other emperors. Unless the external power indeed surpass the power of the emperors.”
“Your analogy is true, but if that’s all, how could I be interested in meddling with something like this, I’ve seen too much competition to become emperor.”
“Can he do anything else?”
“Of course, and that’s something an old man like me can’t refuse. Well, you can think about it, give me an answer as soon as possible.”
The Fire God King disappeared after saying that.
Qin Tian who was in his aunt’s pavilion then explained the things he heard to her.
“I’m guessing it’s the Land of Fire. I don’t know what method he uses, but if he has control over that place, he is indeed very difficult to deal with.. Even the Five Elements Sect might not be able to defeat him.”
