533: Xingyun Hall Alchemist Zhang Beiming

When Lin Feng heard this news, his heart stirred. He knew this was a good opportunity to showcase his Alchemy skills, and also a good opportunity to elevate his status and reputation.

He immediately expressed his willingness to participate in the Alchemy competition. Xu Dean, upon hearing this, revealed a satisfied smile.

Many Disciples from the Nine Stars Sect would be participating. His invitation to Lin Feng was not for him to win a ranking, as Lin Feng's Cultivation was still too low.

However, having this Genius Alchemist participate in the competition would also allow Lin Feng to gain experience, adding much to his future path in Alchemy.

Xu Dean told Lin Feng that he would prepare some precious Alchemy Materials for him, so he could prepare well and strive to perform in the competition.

Lin Feng's thoughts were different. He had already displayed Peak Nascent Soul Cultivation, and upon hearing this news, immediately announced his seclusion to Breakthrough to the Soul Transformation Realm.

Lin Feng arranged for Zhang Tao to inquire about which Sects would be participating in this competition, while he himself went to his Immortal Cave to enter seclusion.

Lin Feng's seclusion was purely for Cultivation. He was already a True Immortal, so his seclusion was just for show.

Soon, twenty years passed, and Lin Feng announced his successful Breakthrough to the Soul Transformation Realm. He also compiled his insights and understanding of Alchemy into a book and handed it to Elder Xu Dean.

Elder Xu Dean's eyes flashed with surprise when he saw Lin Feng's Alchemy insights.

He hadn't expected that this young Alchemist was not only highly skilled but also possessed such a profound theoretical foundation in Alchemy.

He handed Lin Feng's Alchemy insights to the Sect's high-ranking officials, who also praised Lin Feng's Alchemy talent and skill profusely.

They decided to provide Lin Feng with more Cultivation resources and guidance, allowing him to go further in the Dao of Alchemy.

Lin Feng secretly rejoiced when he heard this news. This was the result of his demonstrated diligent Cultivation and Alchemy, and also a sign of the Sect's recognition and Pay attention to of him.

Having successfully advanced to the Soul Transformation Realm, Lin Feng's identity was no longer that of an Outer Sect Disciple. Soul Transformation and Void Refining Cultivators were both Inner Sect Disciples of the Sect. Lin Feng went to the Elder in charge of managing Disciple identities, handed in his identity token, and requested that his identity be changed to Inner Sect Disciple.

The Elder looked at Lin Feng, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

He hadn't expected that this young Cultivator not only had a fast Cultivation speed and excellent Alchemy skills but also possessed such an ambitious mindset.

He smiled and nodded, changing Lin Feng's identity token to Inner Sect Disciple and telling him that Inner Sect Disciples could enjoy more Sect resources and Cultivation guidance.

Lin Feng took the modified identity token, secretly pleased.

After his identity as a Genius Alchemist and Cultivation Genius was established within the Sect, he believed the Nine Stars Sect would not be willing to let him participate in battles and killings.

After changing to an Inner Sect Disciple identity, Lin Feng called Zhang Tao and asked if he had found out which Sects were participating in the Alchemy competition.

After Zhang Tao advanced to Body Integration, he became a True Disciple of the Sect, and was thriving within the Sect. He was also quite well-informed about various news within the Sect.

Upon hearing Lin Feng's inquiry, Zhang Tao quickly relayed the information he had gathered to Lin Feng. It turned out that many Sects were participating in this competition, including some powerful ones.

This competition was not only a test of Alchemy skills but also an opportunity to showcase one's own and the Nine Stars Sect's strength.

The participating Sects this time were not all the Sects under the Star Cloud Immortal Lord's jurisdiction, but rather the Immortal Dao Sects in the vicinity of the Nine Stars Sect.

There were a total of thirteen: Nine Stars Sect, Ice Sect, Blazing Flame Sect, Qingyun Sect, Flowing Water Sect, Raging Wind Sect, Lightning Sect, Spirit Mountain Sect, Flying Snow Sect, Illusion Sect, Adamant Sect, Heavenly Sword Sect, and Nether Shadow Sect.

Among these Sects, there were quite a few that had considerable prestige and strength in the Immortal Realm.

Among these Sects, the Nine Stars Sect was considered to be at the bottom, simply because its Sect Master was only a Golden Immortal, and the entire Sect had only one Golden Immortal.

This was not surprising, but what surprised Lin Feng was that the Nether Shadow Sect, a Demonic Path Sect, was also participating, which made him feel a sense of vigilance. As a Demonic Path Sect, the Nether Shadow Sect's Alchemy methods were often insidious and vicious, so one had to be wary.

Zhang Tao clearly saw Lin Feng's surprise and quickly explained, "Master, this Alchemy competition is actually a means for these Sects to divide resources and prevent further conflict between them.

Although it's ostensibly a competition of Alchemy skills, behind it lies various Conflict of interest and rivalries between Sects."

And this competition was hosted by Zhang Beiming from the Star Cloud Hall under the Starcloud Immortal Lord. This Elder Zhang Beiming was also a Great Master Alchemist of considerable renown in the Immortal Realm.

It is said that he had extremely profound attainments in the Dao of Alchemy, having once refined many rare Medicinal Pills, and was highly valued by the Starcloud Immortal Lord.

Elder Zhang Beiming was a Middle Stage Taiyi Golden Immortal powerhouse, a leading figure in this generation in terms of both reputation and Cultivation.

It was naturally most appropriate for him to preside over and resolve the grievances between these Sects.

Lin Feng also secretly admired this Elder Zhang Beiming upon hearing his great name.

Lin Feng planned to perform well in the competition, striving to receive guidance from Elder Zhang Beiming, thereby further improving his Alchemy skills.

Time flew by, and in a blink of an eye, the day of the Alchemy competition arrived.

Lin Feng and a group of young Alchemists followed the Sect's Alchemy Elder Xu Dean to the Star Cloud Hall Northern Branch, to participate in this grand Alchemy competition.

Along the way, Lin Feng exchanged Alchemy insights with other Disciples, both filled with anticipation and nervousness.

Upon arriving at the Northern Branch Hall, Lin Feng saw young Alchemists from various Sects, some confident, some solemn, all clearly taking this competition very seriously.

Before the competition began, Elder Zhang Beiming delivered an opening speech. His words were filled with love and dedication to the Dao of Alchemy, deeply moving Lin Feng.

Most of those participating in this Alchemy competition were Void Refining Cultivators. Alchemists like Lin Feng, who were only in the Soul Transformation Realm, were not nonexistent, but extremely rare.

Before coming, Lin Feng, fearing exposure of his Cultivation, specifically chose an Immortal Art for concealing aura from the Sect's Merit Law Pavilion. This Immortal Art was called the Thousand Concealment Qi Art.

This Immortal Art could conceal one's Cultivation aura. Lin Feng, utilizing his Immortal Arts Expertise, mastered this technique in just a few years. If it were an ordinary True Immortal Cultivator, it would take at least a thousand years, if not ten thousand.

This Immortal Art was quite useless, and few people Cultivated it, but for Lin Feng, it was not. This technique could prevent Cultivators two major Realms higher from detecting the practitioner's true Cultivation.
