21 Chapter 21. Alchemist Sect Master and The Psycho.
'Ha.. Ha. Hahaha'
'This kid wants to refine those corpses in the Heavenly Formation set up for those old fools to refine the Alchemy pills.'
'it would be great to see the faces of those arrogant Elders.'
The man was laughing his ass off while Huang Shen was busy taking out the corpses.
After all the Fifty Corpses we're placed neatly inside the Formation he looked around confused, as he could feel a mocking laughter, but he can't find any one around.
'What do we do now?'
[Just stay still while system will do the refining, it will take sometime to get the job done, and during the process you have to stay still.
As system will form a link to the formation and the medium will be you so any disturbance can cause the Refining process to Fail.]
He nodded and sat down in a lotus position facing the formation, as it slowly started to glow in golden light, a formation ring appeared as it rises up from the ground and started slowly rotating followed by countless symbols and inscriptions.
Soon after one ring seven other appeared and all of them were higher than other from the ground in different shapes.
(Imagine a circular half Dome.)
The formation was glowing in a Golden colour but there was a little change in the formation as it slowly started changing to deeper Red shade, as a ghostly wailing sound started sounding from inside the formation.
....
Crimson Alchemist Immortal Sect.
Thousands of miles from the Location of Huang Shen, There was 9 Colossal Cauldron Shaped Mountain's.
Each of them were a deeper Red in colour as a faint medicinal aroma could be smelled in the air.
The temperature around was also warmer as you get near the mountains.
Many young people could be seen near the mountains wearing a Crimson colour Robes with 9 Cauldron Emblem, busy in their Daily work.
Near the mountain's there were many beautiful houses and building's made from different coloured stone's.
As you go higher you can see the House's getting bigger and more grander in every way.
In the middle there was the Largest mountain which was shrouded in a crimson colour mist, there's a road leading towards the top of the Misty Mountain.
On the top of the mountain was a Giant Castle as a large number of Sect Disciple we're standing outside as it waiting for someone or something to appear.
There was also a large platform where many Elders of the sect stood as many cauldrons we're placed in front of them.
Many disciples standing in the crowd were busy in their conversation as they didn't even care about the elders on the platform.
"Hey you guys, who do you think will win the title of the top five in the sect?"
"It would definitely be senior Li, as he is already able to refine a Low Rare Rank pill."
"Humph' I guess you guys haven't heard that Senior Sisters Rong has already able to refine the Mid Rare rank Pill, she will definitely take the first place."
After some time the gates of the castle opened as a Middle aged man with many elders walked out.
Wearing a Crimson alchemist Sect Robe with Golden Emblem of 9 Cauldron was the sign of the sect Master.
He came up and stood on the platform as he looked towards the Disciples of the sect, his gaze carried a deep Wisdom and insight, as if it can directly look inside your Soul.
The sword like eyebrows was another addition to his image.
'We Greet Sect Master.'
Disciples and other calmed down and bowed towards the sect Master saying their greetings in unison showing their respects.
He lightly nodded and started speaking.
"I am sure you are all exited to know which one of your senior Brother's and sister's are going to win this Competition of Pill refining."
"As many talented youngsters from our sect has participated to show their skills to be recognized by the sect and given the opportunity to be under the tutelage of the Supreme Elders."
"But there will be a further additional to the rewards of the to the top Five."
After saying that he stopped and looked towards the 10 youngsters both male and female standing at the side of the Platform.
"This competition and the reward, was to motivate all of you who dream to become an Alchemist, to work harder towards your goal and achieve it."
"As you all know that the Hidden Crimson valley is already opened and only higher ranking members are allowed to enter inside to cultivate."
"But now the sect has decided that the top 5 of the competition will be given the chance to enter the selected area of the Hidden Valley to cultivate under the guidance of the Supreme Elders."
This news was a like a bomb to many of the people present as the excitement inside the 10 competitors can be seen in their eyes.
"I think I don't need to speak further, So let'ss began the final round of the Competition where everyone has to refine the given pill and will be judged by the elder according to their Ranks."
He nodded towards the elder in charge and moved back towards the seat placed on the platform followed by others.
The top 10 disciples didn't waste their time and as they direct moved towards their assigned places behind the cauldrons.
Two elders Quickly distributed the Pill recipe and the herbs required to refine the Pill.
From the refined movement of the Disciples shown on their calm face, shows that each and everyone of them present on the stage were a tuff nut to crack as it also showed that they all are experienced in pill refining.
Under the cauldrons was small holes from where you could see a Red fire coming out as it slowly started to heat the cauldrons to a Glowing red shade.
As the time passed the disciples also started throwing the Herbs required Inside the cauldrons.
As the faint aroma of the medicine slowly started to spread around soothing everyone's Mind.
No one wanted to miss the chance to see the who will be the too five as all of them watched the Glowing cauldrons.
'Pang'
A sound came from the cauldron as it showed that they pill was completed, but the disciple refining the pill was devastated, he knew that he had lost the chance but still carried the hope and waited for the judging process to start.
What no one present their noticed that, the weather in the thousand miles radius were changing as the thick dark clouds were slowly merging getting bigger and bigger.
All the people present were busy looking towards the cauldrons, as the pills of all the other 9 contestants were about to be refined.
Until all of them heard a loud Thunderclap coming from the direction of the hidden Valley, they all looked towards that direction as they all gasped for breath.
Demonic looking thunder clouds and the webs of Lightning followed by the roars of thunder were racking the havoc.
They couldn't see the starting of the Thunder cloud but they were sure that something was going on inside the valley.
Sect Master frowned as he stood up from his seat, as he signalled elders to follow him, without any questions and answers he flew inside the castle without any help of the sword or any other artefact.
After a Cultivator reach the Martial king Rank he is able to fly in the Sky without the help of any artefact.
As for all the contestants who were refining the pills, they were left alone on the stage crying as they all failed due to the pills being reduced to ashes.
Inside the Castel Hall stood Five Old Cultivators 3 we're men and 2 we're women, as all five of them were frowning deeply as they looked towards the valley.
The doors of the Hall opened as the Sect Master and the elders came inside.
'We greet Supreme Elders.'
They all greeted the Supreme Elders as sect Master came forward.
"Masters, what is happening inside the valley why did the weather inside became this chaotic?"
He asked politely but the confusion and worry in his voice can't be hided.
Supreme Elders looked towards each other as they nodded.
"We do not know the cause of this, but one thing is clear and that is."
"That the Heavenly Formation placed by the Ancestors were activated by someone, and we fear that this might be due to that psycho sealed in the altar, but we are still not sure as it is still our guess."
Hearing their answer Sect Master and elders present frowned as they all know who was that psycho sealed inside the Altar.
The Frown on the sect Master's face was totally different as it was kind of a Sinister one.
"We can't let him escape from their, it will cause the chaos for our sect as we all know that he hates our sect and he will return for the revenge."
"I request all the Supreme elders that this is not the time to get emotional, he may have been your Disciple but the acts he committed must not be forgiven."
"Please decide what you all think as we do not have to much time."
All the supreme elders sighed as they all knew what the sect Master's plan was.
He and the named psycho were both the disciple of the Supreme elders, the only difference was that, the sect Master was the Son of one of the Supreme elder, and psycho was an orphan.
They both were the training for sect Master's position and it was clear who will be the one to inherit the position of sect Master.
Until Psycho was found performing demonic rituals as he was also charged with the death of many innocent.
The crime was not clear as who was the one who did this but all the clues we're only pointing the finger at the Psycho.
Supreme Elders have their guess that he might not be the one to do those things but they weren't able to prove him not guilty.
They didn't want to kill him as they were the one who took care of him since he was a baby as they looked at his as if he was their own child, they all decided to seal him inside the Altar which will seal him until his death.
