The Kunlun Immortal Realm is vast and boundless.
Spiritual Qi surrounds it, countless Sects are located here, and Immortals are an endless stream, traveling among the clouds.
The Mountain Peak Sect is not bad either; it has tens of thousands of Disciples and occupies tens of millions of miles.
But in reality, the Mountain Peak Sect is located in a place where Spiritual Qi is thin, a place that other Sects don't even bother with.
In other words, while other Sects have Immortal Spiritual Qi, the Mountain Peak Sect only has Spiritual Qi; the difference is absurdly huge.
"Disciple, don't look at how dilapidated our Mountain Peak Sect is now; our ancestors were once a Great Immortal Sect that ranked highly."
"Now you are, at least, the Senior Brother of the Mountain Peak Sect, so you must work hard, set an example for your many Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters, and strive to restore the glory of our Mountain Peak Sect as soon as possible."
"Then Master, why don't you work hard?"
"Sigh. You, Disciple, how dare you question me, your Master? Take these thirty thousand Spirit Stones and go Cultivate for this old man."
Peak Master laughed and cursed, pushing Chen Yuan out.
Once Chen Yuan left the Mountain Peak Sect, he looked expectantly at his System, a must-have for Transmigrators.
[Successfully apprenticed to the Mountain Peak Sect, the Treasure Return System is activated.]
[Give away a treasure and get a treasure many fold its value in return.]
"The System is finally activated."
"It seems that, as Master said, the ancestors of the Mountain Peak Sect must have been glorious, otherwise why would the System choose this Sect?"
"This System is quite good. Does it mean that if I give away things I produce, I can receive several times the reward?"
"So, how many times is several times?"
While he was pondering, a Disciple from the Mountain Peak Sect quietly approached.
"Are you the new Senior Brother?"
Chen Yuan looked at him with slight confusion.
"What? Is there a problem?"
The Disciple had a kind expression and then kindly reminded him.
"Senior Brother, to be honest, I advise you to pack up and run away as soon as possible, otherwise you will definitely die in the Sect Grand Competition three months from now."
"Our lower-ranked Sects are pulled out every so often to participate in arena exhibition matches for those higher-ranked Immortal Sects to watch."
Upon hearing the Disciple's reminder, Chen Yuan's desire to become stronger increased even more.
"Very well, thank you for the reminder. In three months, I, your Senior Brother, will lead you all to the arena and flip the tables. How dare they make my Mountain Peak Sect act as clowns for their entertainment? This is absolutely unacceptable."
When the Disciple heard this, he was greatly frightened, and an indescribable fear appeared on his kind face.
"Senior Brother, do you know why you became the Senior Brother of my Mountain Peak Sect so easily? Why no one dares to take this position?"
Chen Yuan laughed heartily.
"What's so difficult about that? You've already called me Senior Brother, so is there still any doubt?"
"By the way, what's your name, kid?"
The Disciple's expression stiffened, and he felt quite speechless. He had already reminded him so clearly, yet why wouldn't Chen Yuan listen to his advice?
It was clear that dozens, even hundreds, of previous Senior Brothers had died in the arena.
In the higher-ranked Immortal Sects, Immortals gathered, and they wouldn't care whether a mortal lived or died.
The Disciple sighed, envisioning the tragic scene three months later, and said helplessly.
"Replying to Senior Brother, this Disciple is Zhou Hao, from Outer Peak Thirty-Seven."
Chen Yuan nodded and waved, greeting him.
"Alright, Zhou Hao, right? I, your Senior Brother, remember you."
Chen Yuan walked off on his own, and Zhou Hao watched Chen Yuan's retreating figure with a complex expression.
Soon, Chen Yuan took the thirty thousand Spirit Stones given by Peak Master and directly bought a large set of Alchemy equipment, Spirit Medicine, spending money without any heartache.
Currently, these things were not his, but any Pills or Spiritual Artifacts he refined would be his.
At that time, he could utilize the System's function.
On the Main Peak, exclusive to the Senior Brother, Chen Yuan took out a standardized Mortal grade Pill Furnace, a Earth Fire Array, a large pile of Spirit Medicine and Spiritual Plants, and a basic Alchemy introductory manual, and began to tinker.
The Earth Fire Array was activated, Spiritual Light connected to the Earth Fire, and the scorching temperature within the Pill Furnace instantly rose. One Spiritual Plant after another was thrown in by Chen Yuan according to the steps described in the book.
Currently, Chen Yuan's strength was very weak, only at the third level of Qi Gathering Cultivation, but he didn't care. As long as he could refine something, it didn't matter if it was a Pill. He didn't care.
Anyway, he wasn't going to eat this stuff.
The Earth Fire within the Pill Furnace continued to boil, and the state inside the Pill Furnace remained stable. The Pill Chen Yuan was refining this time was the most basic and simplest Essence Replenishing Pill, not even counting as an introductory Qi Gathering Pill.
Because refining Essence Replenishing Pills required no other operations, only following the predetermined steps, using Earth Fire to refine and fuse the Spirit Medicine, and then gathering and kneading them into a pill.
Things like the proportion of Spirit Medicine or the heat of the Spirit Medicine were completely unnecessary, and there were no requirements for Cultivation either. The main point was simplicity and ease of refining. Because this was purely for beginners to practice with.
Three days passed in a flash. As the Earth Fire extinguished, one by one, dark and lumpy pills were taken out of the Pill Furnace by Chen Yuan, emitting a faint medicinal fragrance mixed with a hint of burnt smell.
"Not bad, I almost couldn't even refine this thing. This third-level Qi Gathering Cultivation is really a bit insufficient. Fortunately, the refining was successful."
"A total of twelve Essence Replenishing Pills. I wonder what feedback they will bring me when I give them away?"
Chen Yuan descended the Main Peak and called out to a Disciple within the Sect.
"Hey. You, stop."
This Disciple was dressed in fine silks and jade, with a pale complexion, looking somewhat frail. He didn't recognize Chen Yuan, but he recognized the Senior Brother's attire Chen Yuan was wearing. After a moment of doubt, he respectfully saluted and said flatteringly.
"Disciple Lin Langyun greets Senior Brother. May I ask what Senior Brother wishes to command?"
Chen Yuan nodded slightly, getting straight to the point.
"You are Lin Langyun, right? This Senior Brother commends your diligent Cultivation and hereby rewards you with a bottle of Spirit Pills. I hope you Cultivate well and do not disappoint the Sect."
Upon hearing this, Lin Langyun's mouth twitched. He looked at Chen Yuan with some hesitation. Who didn't know that he, Lin Langyun, was a famous wanderer in this Mountain Peak Sect?
There wasn't a single famous Fairy he didn't know.
If he were truly to be called diligent, there would be no problem with that; he was indeed very diligent outside of Cultivation.
However, Lin Langyun thought that there was no harm in taking the Spirit Pills, so he didn't say much and said flatteringly.
"Thank you, Senior Brother, for bestowing the pills."
As the Pills were given out, a golden prompt appeared before Chen Yuan.
[You gave away twelve defective Essence Replenishing Pills, reward obtained: Three hundred years of Cultivation.]
[First successful giving of Pills, received an additional reward: Chaos Pill Scripture, Heaven Rank Purple Fire Pill Furnace, Heaven Rank Purple Extreme Heavenly Fire.]
Chen Yuan's pupils widened slightly, his heart filled with astonishment. This System reward was too powerful.
Restoring the glory of the Mountain Peak Sect was just around the corner.
