158: Danyangzi takes up a new post, Zhu Heizi changes positions.

"What! It can instantly increase an Emperor's cultivation by one stage?"

Looking at the round pill in front of him, Danyangzi's mouth hung open in shock, letting out an exclamation.

He had studied the Dao of Alchemy for tens of thousands of years and had never heard of a pill that could allow an Emperor to instantly break through a minor realm.

Moreover, even he couldn't research such a pill.

Jiang Chen being able to refine such a pill likely meant his Dao of Alchemy surpassed his own.

"Take it and consume it." Seeing Danyangzi staring dumbfounded at the system-produced pill, Jiang Chen smiled slightly.

This was a pill produced by the system, so it was naturally his unique pill, thus it wasn't bragging.

"Yes, yes, Sect Master." Danyangzi snapped back to reality, carefully taking the pill and putting it into his mouth.

He had no doubts about Jiang Chen's words; after all, Jiang Chen had no reason to deceive him.

As the pill entered his mouth, Danyangzi's aura surged. In just an instant, he broke through to Emperor Eighth Stage, reaching the peak of Emperor Ninth Stage.

"How... how miraculous this pill is."

Feeling his cultivation breakthrough, Danyangzi looked dazed.

He only felt a wondrous power, accompanying the pill, enter his body.

And his cultivation truly broke through to Emperor Ninth Stage in an instant, just as Jiang Chen had said.

"Alright, go find the Great Elder to assume your post." Seeing that Danyangzi had already broken through, Jiang Chen waved his hand, signaling that he could leave.

"Yes, Sect Master, This Subordinate takes his leave." Danyangzi respectfully bowed again, then slowly exited the main hall.

However, the look in his eyes towards Jiang Chen held a new kind of reverence.

This was the reverence of a junior in the Dao of Alchemy towards an elder, because Jiang Chen could refine such miraculous pills, meaning his Dao of Alchemy had already gone further than his own.

After Danyangzi left the main hall,

Jiang Chen flashed and also disappeared from the main hall, preparing to transplant the dragon scale fruit tree and use the summon card.

At the refining area of Huyan Zhuo and Zhu Heizi in the Time Pagoda.

Danyangzi followed Li Big Saber and slowly walked to Zhu Heizi's side.

Seeing Li Big Saber bring another old man to his place,

Zhu Heizi quickly put down the pile of pills in his hand and said with a smile, "Great Elder, what brings you here again?"

After Zhu Heizi finished speaking, he carefully sized up Danyangzi beside Li Big Saber, wondering if he was here to take over his position.

After all, Li Big Saber wouldn't come looking for him without reason. Bringing someone over now meant there was a high chance they were replacing him.

"Elder Zhu, you don't need to refine pills anymore. This is the Alchemy Elder recruited by This Sect Master; he will take over your position." Li Big Saber didn't waste words, pointing to Danyangzi and stating the purpose of his visit.

"Really? That's great!" Zhu Heizi was overjoyed upon hearing this, almost jumping up and down.

He had been looking forward to this day until his eyes went blind.

Now that someone was coming to take over his alchemy position, he could be transferred elsewhere.

As long as he didn't have to refine pills or artifacts, he'd do anything.

"Hurry up and complete the handover. Once you're done, come with me." Li Big Saber glanced at the overjoyed Zhu Heizi and said indifferently.

"Good, good, I'll hand it over now."

Zhu Heizi agreed, quickly handing the Storage Ring containing alchemy resources and pill formulas to Danyangzi.

However, he put the crimson flame cauldron he used for alchemy back into his own storage space.

"Elder Zhu, why did you put away the crimson flame cauldron? You won't be refining pills or artifacts anymore, what use do you have for this cauldron?" Seeing that Zhu Heizi had handed over everything except the crimson flame cauldron, Li Big Saber spoke to stop him.

"This..."

Facing Li Big Saber's questioning, Zhu Heizi hesitated and said, "Great Elder, this was bestowed upon me by Sect Master. I cannot give it to others. If Sect Master asks me for the cauldron later, it would be difficult to explain."

He had painstakingly refined artifacts and pills for so many years, and the only comfort he had was this crimson flame cauldron. He didn't want to lend this ultimate dao emperor weapon to others.

Li Big Saber rolled his eyes at Zhu Heizi and said, "You don't need to explain to Sect Master. Sect Master told me to tell you to hand over everything to Danyangzi, including this crimson flame cauldron."

"Is that so!"

"Al... alright." Hearing Li Big Saber say this, Zhu Heizi reluctantly took out the crimson flame cauldron and handed it to Danyangzi.

After all, this was Jiang Chen's command, and he dared not disobey.

Receiving the crimson flame cauldron, Danyangzi's face was filled with delight.

For an alchemist, obtaining a good alchemy cauldron was one of life's great fortunes.

"Elder Zhu, don't worry, I will treat the crimson flame cauldron more dearly than my own son from now on." Danyangzi said to Zhu Heizi while happily caressing the crimson flame cauldron.

Zhu Heizi didn't reply, instead giving Danyangzi an annoyed look.

He had painstakingly acquired the crimson flame cauldron, and handing it over to Danyangzi was one thing, but this guy even said such words, it was practically stabbing him in the heart.

"Alright, Elder Danyangzi, I'll leave this place to you."

"Elder Zhu, come with me. Sect Master said you've worked hard during this period and plans to give you an easier position." After instructing Danyangzi, Li Big Saber called Zhu Heizi to exit the Time Pagoda with him.

"Ah! Really?" Zhu Heizi's gloomy expression vanished upon hearing this, and he hurriedly followed Li Big Saber.

If he could get an easy position, then handing over the crimson flame cauldron wouldn't be such a bad thing after all.

Beside the Qingtian Sect orchard.

Li Big Saber brought Zhu Heizi here.

At this moment, Jiang Chen had just finished transplanting all the dragon scale fruit trees into the orchard.

Seeing Li Big Saber bring Zhu Heizi over, Jiang Chen waved at Zhu Heizi and said, "Come, Heizi, come here."

Seeing Jiang Chen summon him, Zhu Heizi excitedly ran to Jiang Chen and bowed, saluting, "This Subordinate Zhu Heizi greets Sect Master."

"Mm."

Jiang Chen nodded, helped Zhu Heizi up, then patted his shoulder and said, "Heizi, you've worked hard during this period. This Sect Master plans to have you guard this orchard. Are you willing?"

Now, the Qingtian Sect's orchard also contained many rare treasure trees. It was time to assign someone to guard it and record its usage.

"Willing! Willing!"

"As long as I can contribute to the sect, This Subordinate is willing to do anything."

Hearing that Jiang Chen wanted him to guard this orchard, Zhu Heizi nodded vigorously, overjoyed.

Guarding the orchard was an incredibly leisurely job, where he could do his work while drinking tea every day. How could he not be willing?
