After a while, Elder Wan said, "Duan Gujin, you must be careful of those people; they are from the Holy Fire Immortal Sect, which is considered a first-rate sect!"

"Oh! Elder, how much longer do we have to wait here?"

Duan Gujin asked.

"Let's wait until the Liuyun Immortal Sect issues your Sixth-level Alchemist badge, then we can leave! With that badge to show to the Sect Leader of the Blood Killing Sect, you will be an Honorary Elder of the Blood Killing Sect, and you will have the same status as me. In the Blood Killing Sect, there are not many who can be considered High-level Alchemists, and you are simply a Devil!"

Elder Wan exclaimed with emotion.

Duan Gujin gave a dry laugh, knowing in his heart that he was certainly no Devil.

After all, he had lived through two lifetimes, and his alchemy experience naturally far exceeded that of ordinary people.

Duan Gujin and Elder Wan waited at the Liuyun Immortal Sect for one day and eventually received the Sixth-level Alchemist identity token issued by the Liuyun Immortal Sect.

This was a specially crafted identity token, with an array set up inside by the Liuyun Immortal Sect.

Forging a similar identity token would require at least three Sixth-rank Refiners working together.

If a Sixth-rank Refiner was found to have forged an Alchemist's identity token and if verified, their refining qualifications would be permanently revoked, and they would be sentenced to death.

Because such severe punishment awaits those who forge identity tokens, there are very few Refiners on the Jiuzhou Continent who would risk their honor and life to forge an identity token.

Moreover, Sixth-rank Refiners are not so easy to come by.

After obtaining the Sixth-level Alchemist identity token, Duan Gujin returned to the Blood Killing Sect, and one day later, he received news that he had become an Honorary Elder of the Blood Killing Sect.

Becoming an Honorary Elder of the Blood Killing Sect was not Duan Gujin's ultimate goal.

He was willing to become a Sixth-level Alchemist because Elder Wan had told him that after becoming an Honorary Elder of the Blood Killing Sect, he would be able to enjoy certain powers.

For Duan Gujin, what concerned him more was Wu Wencai.

He knew that Wu Wencai was no kind soul, and faced with such a potentially man-eating poisonous snake, his primary reason for wanting to become an Honorary Elder was to ensure that Wu Wencai would be somewhat deterred before trying to deal with him.

Duan Gujin did not expect Wu Wencai to fully respect his status as an Honorary Elder; he only wished to buy as much time for himself as possible.

Soon, the news of Duan Gujin being promoted to Honorary Elder of the Blood Killing Sect spread throughout the entire sect.

For the Inner Sect Disciples of the Blood Killing Sect, they had rarely interacted with Duan Gujin before, and in the various assessments of the Inner Sect Disciples, they had never heard of such a person.

In their eyes, Duan Gujin's identity became very mysterious.

Consequently, among the Inner Sect Disciples of the Blood Killing Sect, various speculations about Duan Gujin's identity emerged.

Some said that Duan Gujin was the illegitimate son of the Sect Leader, while others said he was the illegitimate child of Elder Wan.

For a time, rumors were rampant everywhere.

However, within the Blood Killing Sect, the real impact of Duan Gujin's promotion to Honorary Elder was mainly on the Alchemy Elders of the sect.

Therefore, the majority of people in the Blood Killing Sect didn't care too much about it.

But there were exceptions, such as Wu Wencai and Gu Tianzhen.

Upon hearing that Duan Gujin had become an Honorary Elder of the Blood Killing Sect, Gu Tianzhen immediately gasped in shock.

"Oh my god! What should I do? What should I do now?"

Gu Tianzhen was truly anxious, as he was very afraid of Duan Gujin's revenge upon hearing that the latter had become a Sixth-level Alchemist.

After a night of struggle, he finally decided to leave Blood Killing Sect and start a new life elsewhere.

"I really can't stay in Blood Killing Sect any longer, it's too dangerous! Now that Duan Gujin has become a Sixth-level Alchemist, I'm certain that Luoluo and Zhu Xiao were murdered by him using some special means!"

He was well aware that if he left Blood Killing Sect, he might very well become an ordinary person, no longer receiving the respect he enjoyed now.

But only by leaving Blood Killing Sect could he save his own life.

In his view, there is nothing in this world more precious than life itself.

The thought of Luoluo and Zhu Xiao's fates gave him chills.

So, that very night, he descended the mountain under cover of darkness, and then left without saying goodbye.

Meanwhile, inside Blood Killing Sect, there was another person paying close attention to Duan Gujin: Wu Wencai.

Upon hearing that Duan Gujin had become a Sixth-level Alchemist, Wu Wencai, just like Gu Tianzhen, took a sharp breath upon receiving the news.

"My God! Who would have thought that Duan Gujin was so powerful?"

As the Hall Master of the Blood Killing Sect Punishment Hall, Wu Wencai was acutely aware of the status a Sixth-level Alchemist held within Blood Killing Sect.

Within Blood Killing Sect, there was only one Seventh-level Alchemist and five Sixth-level Alchemists.

Now that Duan Gujin had become an Honorary Elder of the Alchemy Hall, it meant that from now on, Blood Killing Sect would have one Seventh-level Alchemist and six Sixth-level Alchemists.

"I never imagined that someone so young could possess such terrifying alchemy techniques!"

Wu Wencai's eyes flickered as thoughts of his son's death, possibly linked to Duan Gujin, crossed his mind again.

Thinking of his son's tragic death, his pupils shrank, his heart filled with grief and wrath.

His eyes flashed, his mind whirring, as he contemplated whether his son might have been murdered by Duan Gujin.

Up until now, he had not found any clues about burial offerings related to the former elders who died in Blood Killing Sect.

"My son died a confusing, unresolved death; he rests with open eyes! Why did my son have to die so miserably?"

The more he thought, the more he suspected that Duan Gujin was deceiving him.

But despite racking his brains, he could find no flaws in the words Duan Gujin had previously spoken to him.

"Everything was so perfectly executed! Duan Gujin easily shrugged off all responsibilities!"

Filled with unwillingness, his eyes flashed as he finally thought of a plan.

"Perhaps, I should think of a way to seek help from external forces!"

His mind raced, and after a while, he thought of several masters from other sects he had once known.

However, after some contemplation, he eventually struck those names off the list.

He was very clear that someone extremely powerful was guiding Duan Gujin from behind.

If he really decided to kill Duan Gujin to avenge his son, he would have to confront the power behind Duan Gujin afterwards.

He couldn't begin to imagine the strength of the person behind Duan Gujin.

Before, Duan Gujin had only told him that there was a King of Pills backing him.

However, Wu Wencai didn't know much about the King of Pills and couldn't judge the extent of the terrifying power of the King of Pills behind Duan Gujin.
