After stowing away the cauldron, the Illusionary Ancestor’s surging presence immediately receded like the tide, instantly falling back down to the Fifth Heavenly Layer of Immortal Exalt.
Her face turned pale and seemed far more haggard than before. In the next moment, her presence fell once again, only stopping when it reached the Fourth Heavenly Layer of Immortal Exalt.
“Illusionary Ancestor, d-didn’t your tribulation of decline pass already? W-why is this happening?” The Master of Profound Secrets arrived before the Illusionary Ancestor with the four experts. Looking at the Illusionary Ancestor whose strength had plummeted severely, his elderly face was filled with surprise.
The Illusionary Ancestor’s tribulation of decline seemed even more severe than before.
“The tribulation of decline doesn’t just pass that easily. I used a forbidden technique, which temporarily suppressed the impact of the tribulation of decline, allowing me to recover my peak strength momentarily,” the Illusionary Ancestor said easily.
However, everyone present understood that the Illusionary Ancestor must have paid a certain price.
“You didn’t have to do this, Illusionary Ancestor. With fellow Warring’s assistance, even if you were impacted by the tribulation of decline, it still wouldn’t have affected us collecting the Starflame Demon Lion’s soul essence,” the Master of Profound Secrets said in perplexion. Who was the Illusionary Ancestor? A mere Starflame Demon Lion did not possess the right for the Illusionary Ancestor to pay such a price.
The Warring Old Freak stowed his gloves away. His colossal figure returned to normal as he withdrew his presence. He hovered in the nearby space in silence.
He could vaguely guess why the Illusionary Ancestor had used the forbidden technique despite the price, but it only left the Warring Old Freak even more confused.
The Illusionary Ancestor did not give an explanation. She turned her attention towards the inner core in her hand. The inner core was equivalent to the concentrated power of the lower half of the Starflame Demon Lion’s body. It contained extremely terrifying energy. In the Immortals’ World, it was a priceless item.
The Master of Profound Secrets clearly noticed the inner core, and his eyes lit up. Immortal Exalt space beasts had always been rare, while the chances that they could condense their energy into an inner core were almost negligible.
“Illusionary Ancestor, if you give the inner core to me, I’d definitely be able to refine a cauldron of Divine Pills of Way Accumulation.” The Master of Profound Secrets’ voice sounded rather urgent. The materials for Divine Pills of Way Accumulation were extremely difficult to find. He already possessed all the supplementary materials. All he lacked was the main ingredient.
The inner core was the perfect main ingredient.

Even among high quality God Tier pills, Divine Pills of Way Accumulation ranked towards the top. They were tremendously beneficial to Immortal Exalts and were extremely difficult to refine. In the entire Immortals’ World, there were no more than ten people that could refine Divine Pills of Way Accumulation.
When she heard him mention the Divine Pill of Way Accumulation, the Illusionary Ancestor also became rather interested.
At this moment, Jian Chen and Immortal Exalt Tan Yu strode over from afar. They both thanked the Illusionary Ancestor.
When she saw Jian Chen, the Illusionary Ancestor’s eyes lit up. Casually, she tossed the inner core over to Jian Chen. She smiled and said, “This thing is useless to me, so I’ll give it to you.”
Looking at the inner core hovering before his eyes, Jian Chen became dazed. He could tell from the terrifying energy in the inner core just how precious it was, yet the Illusionary Ancestor had given it to him like this for free?
She had given him a talisman. Now, she was giving him a precious inner core. The Illusionary Ancestor’s friendliness left Jian Chen puzzled.
The Master of Profound Secrets panicked and said, “Illusionary, this inner core is crucial to…”
“Do you have any objections?” However, before the Master of Profound Secrets could finish what he was saying, the Illusionary Ancestor looked at him coldly.
“H-how could I have any objections. You must be joking, Illusionary Ancestor.” The Master of Profound Secrets’ heart suddenly tightened as he smiled apologetically. Despite the fact that the Illusionary Ancestor’s strength had already dropped to the Fourth Heavenly Layer of Immortal Exalt due to the tribulation of decline, the Master of Profound Secrets still did not dared to disrespect her.
“What are you waiting for?” The Illusionary Ancestor turned her attention away from the Master of Profound Secrets and shot a glance towards Jian Chen.
From his experiences with the talisman, Jian Chen knew he could not turn down the Illusionary Ancestor’s gift. With no other choice, he could only thank her before accepting the inner core with strange feelings.
The Master of Profound Secrets felt pity. He opened his mouth, wanting to negotiate with Jian Chen so that he could refine the inner core in his possession into a cauldron of Divine Pills of Way Accumulation. However, after considering the Illusionary Ancestor beside him, the Master of Profound Secrets could only hold in this urge.
“Who exactly is this person who lied to the Illusionary Ancestor about their identity? Why does the Illusionary Ancestor treat him like this? But this doesn’t make sense. The Illusionary Ancestor doesn’t seem to know his true identity either.” The Master of Profound Secrets looked towards Jian Chen with deep curiosity.
The Jade Lotus Master, the Rushing Lightning Immortal Exalt, the Blood Butcher Immortal Exalt, and the Ancient Virtue Immortal Exalt standing behind the Master of Profound Secrets also looked at Jian Chen in a strange light.
Jian Chen noticed the Master of Profound Secrets’ gaze that burned with pity and regret. He suddenly thought of something and said, “Master of Profound Secrets, you seem to want this inner core very much.”
When she heard that, the Illusionary Ancestor glanced at the Master of Profound Secrets. A glint of cold light flashed through her eyes. She did not make any attempts to hide her threats.
The Master of Profound Secrets shivered inside and immediately smiled wryly. “You must be joking, my friend. Even if I were a hundred times bolder, I’d never desire something that the Illusionary Ancestor gave to you. I just thought that if I used this inner core as the main ingredient for refining Divine Pills of Way Accumulation, coupled with some supplementary materials, the quality of the pills will definitely be exceptional. This will also maximise the value of this inner core.”
“I will visit the Jade’s End Heaven in the future. By then, perhaps I can consider giving the inner core to the master so that the master can refine the pill you mentioned.” Jian Chen smiled gently.
When she heard Jian Chen’s words, the Illusionary Ancestor furrowed her brows slightly. She could delicately sense a vibe that was different from Jian Chen’s polite words.
“This kid has murderous intent towards the Master of Profound Secrets?” The Illusionary Ancestor was extremely surprised.
However, the Master of Profound Secrets failed to sense this. Instead, he smiled from ear to ear and said eagerly, “Then I’ll await your visit on the Azure Light mountain on the Jade’s End Heaven. Moreover, I’ll make this promise in front of the Illusionary Ancestor. If I manage to refine the Divine Pills of Way Accumulation successfully, sixty percent of them will go to you.”
“Of course, I will personally provide the supplementary materials required for the Divine Pills of Way Accumulation!”
“If the refinement of the Divine Pills of Way Accumulation ends in failure, I will give you other items of value as compensation.”
The four other experts were left clicking their tongues when they heard the Master of Profound Secrets’ offer.
That was because all pills had a certain failure rate. There were far too many factors at play, which could not all be controlled.
As a result, there was a rule within the alchemy profession. If the refinement failed, the alchemist did not have to pay any compensation.
As a result, all cultivators who sought alchemists to refine God Tier pills would not only find alchemy masters that they trusted, but they would also often prepare several sets of materials to refine a single kind of God Tier pill.
Yet right now, the Master of Profound Secrets had instead offered to compensate for any losses, which was unheard of.
“Then I prematurely thank you, Master of Profound Secrets.” Jian Chen clasped his fist towards him.
The Master of Profound Secrets smiled even more brightly. He still did not know Jian Chen’s true identity and origins, but none of that was important anymore. After all, the Illusionary Ancestor’s attitude towards him was worth the most.
“This is my keepsake. If you come to the Azure Light mountain on the Jade’s End Heaven in the future, you only need to show this keepsake to move around unobstructed.” In the end, the Master of Profound Secrets took out a delicately-crafted tablet and passed it to Jian Chen.
The four Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts who were familiar with the Master of Profound Secrets immediately recognised that the Master of Profound Secrets’ tablet was of the highest level.
Obtaining a tablet like that from the Master of Profound Secrets was no easy feat.
Jian Chen did not decline it. He smiled as he accepted the tablet that the Master of Profound Secrets passed over.
