Trading the heavens starting from immortality

Chapter 73 Hua Tiandu's Despicable Tactics

Upon seeing the greetings from numerous disciples of the Feathered Ascension Sect, Hua Tiandu nodded slightly. However, noticing that there was one person outside the crowd who neither returned the greeting nor responded to his arrival, Hua Tiandu's crescent-shaped eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Hua Tiandu was naturally familiar with this person; he was none other than Fang Han, the disciple of Zidian Peak who had made him lose face in front of Elder Tianxing and the others just two or three days ago.

Hua Tiandu felt extremely disgusted with this "Fang Han". On the one hand, this disgust was innate; on the other hand, it was because of this person's existence that he had to deal with Yuan Jiankong and Mo Yushuang, two outstanding disciples of Tiandu Peak.

However, as the first true disciple, he still had some composure and did not immediately lose his temper.

Standing high in the void, looking at everyone, Hua Tiandu revealed a satisfied smile and said, "Fellow junior brothers and sisters, your ability to survive the siege of so many demons is enough to demonstrate your high level of achievement in the path of cultivation. Excellent! You are all pillars of our Feathered Ascension Sect!"

Then, with a wave of his hand, the nine golden pagodas flew directly into his hand and disappeared.

The nine disciples who controlled the golden pagoda also relaxed, their mission was considered successfully completed, and the sect would reward them.

After retrieving the magical artifacts, Hua Tiandu continued, "You nine have rendered meritorious service in protecting your fellow disciples. These nine Jiazi Great Pills are my reward to you. I hope you will continue to serve the sect well in the future!"

As soon as he finished speaking, nine golden and white pills fell into the hands of the nine inner disciples.

"Thank you very much, Senior Brother Hua!"

The nine men were overjoyed.

It should be known that the Jiazi Great Pill is a top-grade earth-level spiritual medicine. One pill can increase a person's lifespan by sixty years. The amount of magical power and spiritual medicine required to refine it is unimaginable to them.

Among the five true disciples, perhaps only the first true disciple is capable of refining such elixirs!

Although they were among the best of the inner disciples, they joined Tiandu Peak because of the powerful and wealthy Hua Tiandu, the foremost disciple. Rumor had it that he had received the inheritance of Panwu Immortal Venerable, one of the Nine Ancient Venerables, and possessed numerous elixirs; now it seemed this was indeed true.

Seeing this, the other outer disciples couldn't help but show envious expressions. They knew that the pills that could make these powerful inner disciples so happy must be priceless. At this moment, many disciples planned to join Tiandu Peak after the assessment.

Seeing the envious expressions on the faces of these outer disciples, Hua Tian was satisfied, knowing that he had achieved his goal.

This move wasn't just about spending a fortune to buy a horse's bones; it also showcased his immense wealth in front of numerous inner and outer disciples, and even true disciples with supernatural powers. The resulting prestige would undoubtedly be higher, further benefiting his election as the vice-leader of the Feathered Ascension Sect. The sect leader was chosen from among the true disciples. Once Feng Baiyu stepped down from his position, the next leader would be chosen from among these hundred-odd true disciples, or more precisely, from the five great true disciples. Although Hua Tian was the first true disciple, the other four were not to be underestimated, so he needed to further enhance his prestige!

"Senior Brother Hua is indeed incredibly wealthy and powerful; I'm afraid no one in our Feathered Ascension Sect can rival him!"

"That's right. You know, even we true disciples can only refine a few of these Jiazi Grand Pills, and I'm afraid the other senior brothers and sisters are in the same boat!"...

The true disciples following Hua Tiandu flattered him.

Hua Tian also found it very helpful.

"I am only slightly more powerful than others, so these pills are nothing to me."

Hua Tiandu said calmly.

Looking at the disciples with their worshipful expressions, he continued, "This assessment was caused by a demon god among the Heavenly Demons, which created a loophole in the immortal techniques of my Feathered Ascension Sect, allowing many Heavenly Demons to enter. Now, all of these Heavenly Demons have been eliminated by us. Your tenacious survival under the siege of the Heavenly Demons demonstrates your strength and potential. Therefore, I hereby announce that you have all passed this assessment and have obtained the status of inner disciples!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted in excitement, with many people even jumping up in their seats.

"Oh my god! Really?"

"Haha, finally passed! Long live Senior Brother Hua!"

"I've taken the test five times already, it's not easy!"

"Exactly!"

The disciples of the Jialan Society, including Xu Yue'er and Ye Yu, couldn't help but show joy.

Some people even secretly thanked these demons, because if it weren't for this incident, they didn't know how long it would have taken to pass the test, or they might never have been able to pass it in their entire lives.

Fang Han watched this scene with a cold eye.

Hua Tiandu is quite adept at winning people over. However, he is also vindictive and arrogant, and it seems likely that he will soon turn against me.

Seeing the excited expressions of the many disciples, Hua Tian raised his hand to suppress the clamor and said, "Fellow junior brothers and sisters, there is one more matter that needs to be investigated. I would appreciate it if you could bear witness."

"Hmm? What is it?"

"You're too kind, Senior Brother Hua!"

Many disciples couldn't help but turn their gazes to Fang Han, their faces revealing gloating smiles.

Next, someone's going to be in trouble! Of course, it won't be them.

Princess Hongyi and the other disciples of the Jialan Society looked worried.

Seeing everyone's attention on him, Hua Tiandu looked at Fang Han and asked casually, "Your name is Fang Han, right?"

"Yes, that's me. What can I do for you, Senior Brother Hua?"

Fang Han remained calm.

He remained calm in the face of the curious, gloating, scrutinizing, and covetous gazes of everyone present.

His composure in the face of imminent collapse impressed many of the true masters of supernatural powers, who secretly nodded in approval.

It seems that Purple Lightning Peak is about to have another prominent figure!

"Fang Han, you possess a demonic artifact called the 'Seven Fiends Gourd,' don't you?"

Hua Tiandu said coldly.

Today, Fang Qingxue is in seclusion to heal her injuries. According to some elders, she has already entered the "Little Immortal Realm". Once she comes out of seclusion, she may become a powerful expert at the Celestial Realm level. While Fang Qingxue is away, it is a good opportunity to let this disciple of Zidian Peak named "Fang Han" know his methods!

"Yes, this magical treasure was bestowed upon me by Senior Sister Fang Qingxue. May I ask why Senior Brother Hua is asking?"

Fang Han replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"You, along with Fang Qingxue and the Demon General Ying Tianqing, used magical artifacts to harm Junior Brother Shi Longzi, didn't you?"

Hua Tiandu said, his words containing a strange, bewitching power.

Of course, this is just Hua Tiandu's speculation.

However, once this matter is confirmed, he can make a big fuss about it, and it is not impossible for him to abolish Fang Qingxue's supernatural powers and expel her from the Feathered Ascension Sect!

The persuasive power in his words was so strong that even a strong person at the Celestial Realm would find it difficult to resist, let alone this young man who had just broken through to the Mana Realm.

At this moment, Hua Tiandu could almost see the scene of this person "confessing his crimes and accepting punishment" while weeping bitterly.

Although it was a bit underhanded of him, as a true disciple, to attack an ordinary outer disciple, wasn't it good that he achieved his goal?
