Wang Wei headed to the highest cave of the Origin Pill Dao Sect. At the entrance, he accidentally met a young man wearing a red robe coming out; the young man smiled after seeing Wang Wei and said:

"Fifth brother, why are you here?"

"Second brother, it’s you. I’m here to see the master," replied Wang Wei.

"Is there a problem?"

"No, I just encountered some problems about Alchemy and wanted to ask for the master’s guidance."

"Is that so? Then, I won’t hold you." After that, he flew away. Nevertheless, the fifth brother felt like his younger brother was different today. He shook his head thinking that he might be too sensitive.

Meanwhile, as Wang Wei watched his brother--whose name was Zhang Li--fly away, he noticed that the latter might have discovered something strange about him, or at least, had a slight suspicion.

He took a moment to ponder what was the problem before realizing the crux of the problem. Although he looked exactly like Lou Cheng down to his soul and Fate, his temperament was not the same.

Wang Wei always had an air of confidence and cockiness around him. Adding to that his overwhelming strength, his temperament is unique. As such, even if he turned into Lou Cheng, his previous temperament was affecting his current body.

So, after realizing the problem, he quickly adjusted himself. Although he could fool his second brother, now that he was about to meet his master who was a Saint Realm True Person, it is easier to be exposed.

On the spot, Wang Wei’s temperament changed to a secretly prideful alchemist that is quite conservative. Then, he entered the cave. He notified his master through a talisman and stood up waiting.

Half an hour later, a middle-aged man with slightly dark skin suddenly appeared in the room Wang Wei was in. However, he pretended that he did not notice. After all, his current identity was that of a little Divine Altar Realm cultivator.

"Little Cheng, what brings you to see me today?"

"M-master," stuttered Wang Wei as he slightly jumped backward. Then, he cupped his hand and bow: "Disciple has seen master."

"There is no need to be polite with me," replied Ye Lao, the sect master of the Origin Pill Dao Sect. With a smile on his face, he said: "You rarely leave your alchemy room--unless you have a question of alchemy. So, what is this time?"

Ye Lao was very satisfied with his Fifth Disciple. Although his talent was not the best amongst all the others, he was the most diligent. With effort alone, he managed to make up the gap with some genius alchemist.

"Master, something strange happened to me recently. When I was in Maple Leaf City, I bought a strange mirror. However, a weird light came from it and entered my body. I am worried that something might be wrong."

Ye Lao frowned after hearing this, "Let me check." A powerful Divine Sense came from his body, scanning Wang Wei’s body. At first, he did not find anything, but once he arrived at the spleen, he discovered a weird breath.

A slight surprise flashed in Ye Lao’s eyes, then he said: "Let me see the mirror."

Wang Wei quickly handed it to him. After checking it, he found a similar breath from Wang Wei’s spleen. Then, Ye Lao sighed out loud:

"Little Cheng, you are truly lucky. If I’m not mistaken, this mirror was baptized by the Innate Material Yellow Qi Soil and contained its breath--which was then transferred to you."

Lou Cheng frowned after hearing this, "Master, will I be fine?"

"You do not need to hurry as this is your fortunate encounter. Although only the breath of the Yellow Qi Soil entered your body, it is enough to greatly increase your talent for alchemy."

"Really?"

Ye Lao nodded his head, while Lou Cheng smiled to the point of grinning. However, immediately after, he realized that his action was not proper, so he forced himself to calm down and displayed the proper etiquette.

Sect Master Ye Lao looked at his disciple and sighed internally. He was slightly envious of Lou Cheng’s luck.

"Did anyone else notice when you absorbed the Innate breath?"

"No, I was alone in my room."

"What about the mirror? Who else saw you buy it?"

"Only my Dao Protector was with me."

"Are you talking about Old Man Mountain? Well, over the years, he has been neglectful on his duty; it’s about time that you have a new and more powerful Dao Protector."

"Thank you, master."

If this was the real Lou Cheng, he would have thought that his master cared about him and wanted to give him a new and more powerful Dao Protector. However, Wang Wei knew better and could guess the fate of that old man.

"Well, you should retreat to completely absorb the remaining Innate breath. Remember, do not tell anyone about your encounter--even your fellow brothers and sisters."

"Huh?"

"Do you understand me?"

"As you wish, master."

After saluting to Ye Lao, Lou Cheng activated his Flying Talisman and returned to his cave. On route, Wang Wei started thinking to himself:

’I have to say, my acting is quite extraordinary. I could probably easily get an oscar back on Earth.’

After returning to his cave, he activated the formation to isolate the outside world, then Wang Wei began to plan for his next step.

"With this excuse, sect master Ye Lao should not doubt my sudden increase in talent. So, it should be easier for me to display it and get the chance to get the [Origin Pill Flame Scripture]. However, this is not enough, I should probably find other ways to have ’fortunate encounters’ that increase talent."

Wang Wei’s original plan was to show that he had acquired the Innate material Yellow Qi Soil and drastically increase his talent. After all, he had already absorbed it in the cultivation of his organs.

However, he feared that sect master Ye Lao would be tempted by an Innate material and immediately took it from him by force, use secret methods to kill him and get it, or use the name of contribution to the sect to legally take it from him.

So, he decided to just use the breath as an excuse; that way, he could explain his increase in talent, and Ye Lao will not be tempted by a mere breath that has little value to him.

"I can also use this opportunity to break through the Supernatural Realm." As he muttered this, he felt the power in his body.

"This guy is so weak. Despite being the direct disciple of an Emperor Lineage, he only managed to build a Supreme Foundation."

After shaking his head in disappointment, he closed his eyes to enter a state of cultivation.

Meanwhile, in one of the highest caves of the sect, an old man with long white hair and beard had a cauldron in front of him, refining a pill. The Power of Law could be felt inside the cauldron, which meant that this pill was at least heaven grade.

This old man was the person that held the title of the Greatest Alchemist of This Generation, Fu Caiyun.

While refining the pill, he seemed to have received some kind of signal or information. Then, he took out a talisman from his space ring.

"All 5 Saints I sent are dead? And they all died instantly?"

The old man paused for a moment before muttering: "The only way for them to die so quickly is if a True Monarch intervened. Could it be that some of the Supreme Elders are sending me a message asking to be restrained a little?"

"...Well, it doesn’t matter. I only sent them because I wanted to check something from Lou Cheng. With his talent, he will never be a threat to me."

After that, the old man continued with his pill refining. The odd thing was that despite his distraction, the pill refining process did not stop or interrupt; this was how skilled this man was.

...

Endless Void, in front of the strange world discovered by the Dao Opening Sect:

Li Jun, Tie Gang, Yan Liling, and Wang Ju floated in space with a massive army behind them. Then, they waved their hands to place the army inside their space rings and entered this strange world.

A firm determination could be seen in their faces as they knew the significance of their actions in this world. As such, they were prepared to succeed no matter the cost.
