n Xiang's colossal 100-ton blade had already slashed him into two halves!As for this incident involving Elder Qian, Shen Xiang originally didn't plan to tell Gu Dongchen before. He did this first and...Chapter 2254: Jing Ze

Seeing Feng Wu's good complexion, Shen Xiang knew that Feng Wu had condensed bones again.

"How many are there" Shen Xiang asked with a smile.

Feng Wu extended three fingers and smiled sweetly at Shen Xiang, "I'm going to hunt for a divine monster now. My bones also need a divine soul!"

"Alright, be careful," Shen Xiang nodded.

Feng Wu already had three bones, this was the minimum standard for advancing to a True Disciple! The medium-grade bone essence pill is no longer suitable for her. Now she needs an upper-grade bone essence pill!

Not long after returning to the cave abode, Hua Lang came over.

"Yong Ge is back, and he's even with one of his brothers. He asked me to tell you that they're on their way!" Hua Lang seemed very excited.

"Lang, why are you so happy Did you condense a bone" Shen Xiang smiled.

"Of course not! I haven't planned to cultivate yet. Only when there's time will I talk about it!" Hua Lang said, "I'm excited because of Yong Ge's brother. He has a reputation higher than Yong Ge. He was missing for ten thousand years, and I don't even know how Yong Ge found him!"

"Missing for ten thousand years" Shen Xiang was somewhat surprised, "Is he also a disciple of the Eternal Mountain Sect"

"Of course, he's also a legendary disciple of the Eternal Mountain Sect. The Eternal Mountain Sect holds grand competitions every now and then, Yong Ge's brother once defeated several True Disciples in the competition. He became famous that way. However, after that he offended the Alchemy Immortal Academy and they sealed him for ten thousand years. He was missing during that time," Hua Lang explained.

The Alchemy Immortal Academy's so-called sealing meant they didn't give out divine essence pills and wouldn't help with the creation of them. This was very fatal for disciples because True Disciples could purchase bone essence pills at a very affordable price from the Alchemy Immortal Academy, but they needed to help the Alchemy Immortal Academy do something. However, this was still better than not being able to buy an upper-grade bone essence pill.

Shen Xiang smiled, "Yong Ge's brother probably was hiding and wasn't missing. He doesn't want to give out his spirit core crystals to the Alchemy Immortal Academy, let alone giving them away to the Alchemy Immortal Academy,"

Hua Lang went on to tell Shen Xiang about Yong Ge's brother, his name was Jing Ze. He had already condensed over a hundred divine essence pills and had followed the path of Sword Dao. No one knew exactly how many bones he had condensed, but they knew that within the True Disciples. He could rank in the top five and used a King-grade divine sword.

Yong Ge came over, he shouted out Shen Xiang's name from outside the cave abode.

Shen Xiang hurriedly went to open the door, when he opened it Yong Ge quickly pulled in that person wearing a hood next to him.

The person took off the hood and smiled at Shen Xiang, it was Jing Ze. He looked very gentle as a middle-aged man with two small mustaches and a small goatee, he smiled when he looked at Shen Xiang, it was very warm.

"Big brother, this is my brother Jing Ze!" Yong Ge said to Shen Xiang, "I had to search for him in many places before finding him."

"Lang is indeed a person I know well. Since Yong Ge calls you big brother, and I've come here with him, then it seems like I should also call you big brother," Jing Ze said.

Yong Ge had told him about Shen Xiang's offer for the upper-grade bone essence pill earlier. Indeed, this was very attractive. No large amounts of spirit core crystals were needed and no extreme actions were required to obtain the upper-grade bone essence pill.

"Here are two upper-grade bone essence pills, since you're calling me big brother then I won't be stingy," Shen Xiang smiled, "To be honest, I want to establish a small force because of my own safety in the future, you guys should be able to guess that I'm an Alchemy Immortal. My alchemy technique isn't worse than those old guys from the Alchemy Immortal Academy, and I don't want to be controlled by them either. Therefore, I can only try my own path."

Pitted against the Alchemy Immortal Academy! This was something both Yong Ge and Jing Ze liked, now it seemed like Shen Xiang wanted to take away the Alchemy Immortal Academy's food. Afterward, they would be threatened by the Alchemy Immortal Academy and indeed needed protection. They quickly understood.

"Big brother, trust me. As long as we are against the Alchemy Immortal Academy, I will definitely support you!" Jing Ze took over the two upper-grade bone essence pills, his hands were still trembling. He was busy for nearly ten thousand years and only got two bad quality upper-grade bone essence pills, but now he just met Shen Xiang getting two.

"Our strength is far from being able to oppose the Elders and Alchemy Immortal Academy, so we must gather more powerful people. There's no need to worry about divine essence pills," Shen Xiang said, "The only thing I'm worried about is the Grand Priest of Eternal Mountain Sect. His strength must be very strong, he will definitely be our biggest threat at that time."

"Not necessarily. He's actually quite a nice person, he helped us back in the day too. However, he was also powerless due to certain reasons," Yong Ge said, "Big brother, you might not know too much about our Grand Priest. You'll understand once you get to know him."

Hua Lang hurriedly nodded, "The Grand Priest has long been dissatisfied with the Inner Sect bullying the Outer Sect. Therefore, he's always wanted to change these rules and let the original disciples of the Inner Sect also hunt divine monsters, but unfortunately it's hard to do so."

"Oh Why is that He's the Grand Priest after all!" Shen Xiang didn't understand, "Shouldn't he be the strongest and most powerful person in Eternal Mountain Sect"

"Of course not, that depends on the Elders and Alchemy Immortal Academy. Also, there's a group of original True Disciples who are together and don't listen to the Grand Priest. The Grand Priest can do nothing! You should know that within the Inner Sect, the power rests in the Alchemy Immortal Academy, then comes the Elders and at last is that bunch of True Disciples," Hua Lang said.

"Those True Disciples don't include us two. We went through the Outer Sect and are considered Outer Sect disciples regardless of what happens, only those who were born there can be true Inner Sect disciples!" Yong Ge said.

Shen Xiang understood, he nodded and said, "If the Grand Priest wants to change these rules, then the original Inner Sect disciples of this group won't agree. This means they'll be treated like Outer Sect disciples, and every month they have to hunt divine monsters. They won't be able to live such a leisure life anymore."

"Yes, exactly. These many years we Outer Sect disciples have suffered more than they know it and are also looked down upon by them, then being neglected by the Alchemy Immortal Academy. We Outer Sect disciples are only provided with Elders every now and then," Jing Ze sighed, "We Outer Sect disciples have died many times, all for hunting divine monsters and that's why our numbers are always small. This wouldn't threaten the status of Inner Sect disciples."

Shen Xiang thought for a moment and asked again, "How strong are the people from the Alchemy Immortal Academy and Elders If we unite the Outer Sect disciples, can we oppose them"

Yong Ge and Jing Ze exchanged glances, they were thinking.

"It's hard to say. Those Inner Sect disciples are different from us because they haven't experienced life and death situations, and don't often have to fight divine monsters. But for us it's common. If we were to fight, our combat experience would be more plentiful and stronger! Their advantages are that they have abundant resources. They easily obtain divine essence pills compared to us, and can receive them every month plus more than we do," Jing Ze said.ther said.Shen Xiang wouldn’t regret joining the Great Divine Pill Hall, as he could concentrate on refining pills here to obtain a certain status by creating high-level divine pills."Brother Masters,...
