Path of Alchemy Mastery-Chapter 302 - 303: A Grand Tomb

Along this journey, anyone who showed even a hint of mockery or a whiff of hostility was captured by Wang Cai’s followers and, after being ’educated’, was added to the ranks.

Don’t forget, the drunkard leading them only appeared to be at the peak cultivation of a Martial Arts Sect, but he was in fact a genuine Basic Level Martial Saint. Despite being subdued by Wang Cai and left with no will to resist, what on earth is Wang Cai? He’s the Artifact Spirit of the Reincarnation Pearl, utterly beyond the understanding of common reasoning. Even Gaotian Zun, a distinguished powerhouse in the Supreme Interface, was bitten by Wang Cai and left without a temper.

The drunkard signaled the people behind him with his eyes. There were few simple characters who could enter the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm, and they immediately understood what the drunkard was hinting. As soon as they spotted someone, the group would wave their banner vigorously and shout slogans loudly, not for anything else but to catch the attention of others.

Whoever noticed this peculiar group would usually look at the litter behind them with puzzled faces, and upon seeing Wang Cai sitting atop the litter, they couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

This laughter was all that was needed for the drunkard to lead his followers to surround them.

"Come over here, what were you laughing at just now?"

"Are you dissatisfied with Lord Wang Cai?"

"Could it be because Lord Wang Cai is too flamboyant and you feel that he’s stealing your thunder?"

"Young man, I feel you’re in danger here. Daring to disrespect Lord Wang Cai, are you itching for a fight?"

After encircling them, the drunkard wasn’t in a hurry to act; instead, everyone began to chastise the person, giving one accusation after another.

They say a dog exploits the power of its master, but when a dog’s power reaches a certain extent, people can draw upon the dog’s power as well.

Those who were surrounded would usually have a dazed expression, not understanding how a simple laugh could provoke such a reaction, completely unaware that the moment they saw the drunkard, they had already fallen into his trap.

"Not speaking, huh? Silence means consent."

Regardless of the person’s reaction, this battle had to be fought; it had become an unwritten rule that one must be ’educated’ before joining the group.

If you let someone join without a beating, those who were beaten before would feel aggrieved. Why should they get beaten when they joined, while this person doesn’t have to endure it?

Generally, after a thorough beating, these people would straighten up, and afterwards, they were handed over to Zhang Long for brainwashing education.

You wouldn’t believe it, but Zhang Long actually has a knack for this. The people, once beaten to shed their edge, would nearly all convert into members of the team under him, and after meeting Wang Cai, they would directly join the group.

Along the way, Mu Can watched as Wang Cai’s group slowly grew from twenty to a hundred people, nearly dropping his jaw in shock. This dog, it wouldn’t really be starting some kind of cult, would it?

"Great Immortal Wang Cai, with boundless mana."

A crowd shouted slogans at the top of their lungs, exerting their utmost effort for a simple reason: they had just encountered a common opportunity in the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm.

Opportunities were common, but the difficulty in seizing them was beyond many people’s imaginations.

This was simple; opportunity meant both chance and fate. You needed both, encountering an opportunity represented the "chance" aspect, while seizing it required the "fate" aspect.

Just as everyone knew that within the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm, the Sky Tower certainly harbored opportunities, but no one managed to unlock even half of it; that meant their fate had yet to arise.

And just now, Wang Cai had taught them a lesson.

It was a huge sand dune, and a sand dune appearing in the middle of a forest was an abnormal sight.

Abnormality often indicated the presence of demons, but in the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm, such abnormalities didn’t signify demons, but opportunities.

Upon encountering a sand dune, the Drunkard immediately stopped and reported the situation to Wang Cai.

The Drunkard had been waiting for an opportunity, and he hadn’t forgotten the words of Wang Cai—that if there was an opportunity, he would be allowed to choose first.

"Let me have a look." Wang Cai nodded, more and more assuming his role; though he might appear to be a dog, he exhibited a nobleness akin to that of an Emperor.

"Disembark the palanquin!" Zhang Long immediately shouted upon seeing this, truly like a little eunuch.

Wang Cai sauntered toward the mound with petite cat-like steps.

This was the first time Mu Can had seen a dog walking with cat steps, and it seemed Wang Cai was indeed getting a bit carried away. He secretly decided that he would have to give Wang Cai a good talking-to later. Although the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm was filled with opportunities, the dangers were also numerous. Drawing too much attention in this way could attract unnecessary trouble, and the core area was not yet open. Standing out like this might not be a good thing.

When Wang Cai arrived at the sand dune, which had previously been hidden behind trees, he paced back and forth in front of the mound, carefully examining it. The others’ gaze also focused on Wang Cai, as he now represented their hope. Having already humbled themselves to serve a dog, they would be at a real loss if they didn’t get anything to compensate for it.

"This is a big tomb," Wang Cai nodded and said after looking at the mound.

"A big tomb?" The Drunkard was the most concerned about this, as the contents were promised to him by Wang Cai for first pick.

"Yes, a big tomb, and indeed, there are treasures inside." Wang Cai casually took out the Qiankun Compass.

After channeling Spiritual Power into it, the surface of the Compass projected a giant Azure Dragon soaring into the sky.

"Wow, a dragon, that’s a dragon!"

"Really a dragon, a giant Azure Dragon."

"Wang Cai the Immortal, with boundless Mana."

In the Mortal World, a dragon was already a legend, and now a real Azure Dragon appeared right before their eyes, just like the ones recorded in paintings. Everyone got excited one after another.

"Naive, it’s only an illusion," Wang Cai explained.

"Lord Wang Cai truly has extensive knowledge and learning," Zhang Long immediately began his brown-nosing.

The Azure Dragon soared into the air, circling the sand dune, with its large body perfectly encompassing the mound.

"Disperse!" Wang Cai commanded softly, and the entire Giant Dragon promptly dispersed into a sky full of stardust, which fell onto the surface of the sand dune and gradually melded into it.

The whole sand dune slowly became transparent, allowing the contents inside to be seen with the naked eye.

"Look, it really is a big tomb, that’s the coffin!"

"Yes, Lord Wang Cai is truly powerful."

"That’s right, Lord Wang Cai is indeed mighty."

In the eyes of the crowd, Wang Cai was just as boundlessly powerful as they praised him to be.

Summoning the illusory Azure Dragon and turning the sand dune into a transparent object to directly see what’s inside—such were the methods of the Immortal Family.
