Six Realms Immortal Emperor

Xu Jingtian couldn't help but show a slightly embarrassed expression, thankfully no one saw it. He pushed open the door and walked towards the room not far to the left, which must be Dongfang Sixing's training room.

"How should I tell him? Should I just say, 'Hi, Sixing, I'm going to live here from now on.' Or...?" Just as Xu Jingtian was considering how to explain to Dongfang Sixing, he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from Dongfang Sixing's room and quickly hid behind the stone wall.

"Oh, you just got fourth place in the trial, and you're already getting cocky. Don't think you're so great just because you got fourth place. You don't even get the same reward as tenth place. I want first place. Do you know how big the difference is between the first place reward and the first place reward?!"

Who else could this voice be but Daoist Cen Yang? Xu Jingtian thought to himself, "What bad luck! I never expected Daoist Cen Yang to be in Dongfang Sixing's room."

Next, Dongfang Sixing sighed and said, "Master, didn't you tell me that as long as I reached the third level of Qi Refining, I could participate in the inner disciple selection? At my current cultivation speed, I should be able to reach the third level of Qi Refining in another year. I've tolerated whatever you did before, but why are you giving me so many more materials every day?"

"Oh dear, Master is only doing this for your own good, so that you can quickly improve your cultivation and get a good ranking in the inner disciple selection. Not only will you gain the appreciation of the sect's higher-ups, but Master will also be proud. Why are you blaming me instead?" Master Cen Yang said, feigning some anger.

"Hmph, you make it sound nice! But don't think that just because I, Dongfang Sixing, am a newly initiated disciple, I can still recognize these materials. They are extremely poisonous, and using them will have endless consequences. Are you willing to ruin my body just to get a reward from the sect?" Dongfang Sixing's angry voice rang out.

Upon hearing this, Xu Jingtian understood about 70-80% of the situation. He had heard Dongfang Sixing mention this matter to him before, saying that Daoist Cen Yang had forcibly increased his cultivation level with drugs. It seemed that Cen Yang was probably pressuring Dongfang Sixing again this time.

Seeing that he had been exposed, Daoist Cen Yang had no choice but to drop the pretense and sneered, "Haha, not bad. Since you know everything, there's nothing left to hide. Do you think my fellow disciples Dong Quan, Shi Jin, Su Feng, and I are really so kind as to willingly teach you cultivation techniques for the sake of unrelated disciples? Let me tell you the truth, we did all this for the sect's rewards, especially the Foundation Establishment Pill. You know, the Foundation Establishment Pill is extremely helpful for our cultivation breakthroughs, but there's only one reward each time. It's worth it for the five of us to use some underhanded means to get it."

Foundation Establishment Pill is an extremely precious elixir that can increase the success rate of Foundation Establishment. However, due to the rarity of the required materials and the difficulty of its refinement, even the Brahma Sect, a major sect of immortal cultivation, produces a pitifully small number each year.

To encourage the elders who transmit skills to cultivate more outstanding disciples, the Brahma Sect specially set aside a Foundation Establishment Pill as a reward. Whenever an outer disciple achieves first place in a promotion, their transmission elder will receive this reward.

The reward of a Foundation Establishment Pill was incredibly attractive, even tempting Daoist Cen Yang, who rarely accepted disciples. He tried every possible method to unleash the potential of his disciples, attempting to compete with the transmission elders like Tu Yang and Dong Quan.

This made things difficult for Dongfang Sixing and his group. In addition to having to cultivate even more arduously, they also had to endure all sorts of extraordinary treatment.

"Cen Yang, you're despicable!" Dongfang Sixing said through gritted teeth, no longer calling him master.

Master Cen Yang continued to laugh loudly, "Hahaha, to put it bluntly, you are just tools for us to obtain the elixir. Don't think too highly of yourselves. If you delay my plans, I will make you wish you were dead."

The laughter was extremely grating, sending chills down one's spine. Xu Jingtian frowned, feeling a deep disgust for Daoist Cen Yang. It seemed that the so-called transmission elders and alchemy elders in the Brahma Sect were all no good, merely tools for exchanging benefits.

Xu Jingtian grew up in a prominent family and understood principles much better than most people. His father, Old Xu, also instilled in him a strong sense of justice and a particular dislike for those who bully the weak.

"Hmph, I won't let you succeed," Dongfang Sixing said stubbornly.

Master Cen Yang stopped laughing and said coldly, "Don't think that just because I didn't go to the trial, I don't know what happened inside. Tell me honestly, why did you hand over the Millennium Qinglingzhi that you had already obtained? And how did Xu Jingtian, who came with you, get first place?"

Upon suddenly hearing that this matter was related to him, Xu Jingtian couldn't help but gather his spiritual energy in his ears to hear everything that was happening in the room.

Dongfang Sixing sneered and said, "You...you sent people to watch me?"

Master Cen Yang gave a sinister laugh and said, "Of course I don't trust you. You've been to the Ten Thousand Pills Pavilion multiple times, haven't you? Were you looking for that brat Xu Jingtian? Don't think I don't know; I've got your every move under my control. That kid actually got first place in this wilderness trial! He's only at the second level of Qi Refining, how could he hunt a third-tier ferocious beast? Tell me, was there a share for him? Did that kid get all the benefits?"

Dongfang Sixing gritted his teeth and said, "Hmph, don't mention that bastard. He almost cost me my life. If I hadn't assessed the situation and given the Thousand-Year Qinglingzhi to Qu Feixiong, I might have been beheaded long ago. And he, on the other hand, tricked me away, and he and Lu Yikuang took the opportunity to hunt down a third-tier ferocious beast."

Xu Jingtian was startled. He had thought that after the trial, his relationship with Dongfang Sixing would improve, but who knew that Dongfang Sixing would view him this way? Truly, you can know a person's face but not their heart. From now on, he would have to be careful in everything he did. It seemed that he absolutely could not stay on Wuji Peak.

Hearing this, he was about to turn and leave when he suddenly heard an angry shout from inside the house. Curious, he continued to lie in wait.

Master Cen Yang sneered, interrupting Dongfang Sixing, and said, "Hmph, stop trying to deny it! Are you trying to prevent me from getting the reward? Do you think he and Lu Yikuang can kill a third-tier ferocious beast?"

Dongfang Sixing gritted his teeth and said, "Whether it was those two who killed him, I'm not entirely sure. If you want to know the truth, you should go ask him yourself!"

"You dare talk back! You know perfectly well that Wan Dan Pavilion is a vital area of ​​the sect, overseen by Uncle Yue Zhi, and no unauthorized personnel are allowed to approach. Your relationship with him is unusual. If you can lure him here, I'll return the fourth-place reward to you and won't force you to soak in the medicinal bath anymore!"

Xu Jingtian pictured Dongfang Sixing covered in poison blisters in his mind, and couldn't help but get goosebumps. If he fell into the hands of Daoist Cen Yang, who knew what kind of suffering he would endure? He suppressed his restless heart and listened quietly to see what Dongfang Sixing had to say.
