Two days had passed since the pill meet had ended. The whole city of Cairin was in an uproar. The winner of the pill meet had just disappeared after the meet was over.
Not only was this disrespectful to all the alchemists who wanted to meet with this new comer and wanted to debate with him, but also, it was strange and mysterious.
With this stunt that Liu Tian had pulled off, everyone was talking about him. Everyone who wasn't talking about him, was talking about how the pill geniuses were no longer the representation of the entire kingdom, and that there could be other geniuses who were in hiding.
One thing was for sure. Liu Tian made waves through the entire kingdom. In just two days, he became an instant celebrity, and everyone knew about him. Liu Tian from Sky Heavens sect was now hailed as the biggest genius of the entire kingdom.
But there was one group of people more surprised than anyone else. And who else would it be, other than Sky Heavens itself.
In the core of the Sky Heavens sect, underneath many arrays and protection talismans, in a single room, stood the most influential and powerful people of the entire sect.
"Alchemy Leader. Why did you call upon this entire council?" Li Tian calmly asked, as he was the one who was presiding over this meeting.
"Why did I call upon this meeting? Because the biggest members of the alchemy world are asking me how I raised a genius that I never heard the name of. The entire sect will lose its shame if the world knows that some mysterious figure has been impersonating a disciple of the sky heavens sect. Do we even have a disciple by the name Liu Tian?" the alchemy leader, a middle aged man with bushy eyebrows and tough skin, said.
"Haha, so this is regarding Liu Tian! I was worried that something important happened, and was ready to come out of the sect even at this sensitive time. But to think that it is something so trivial." Li Tian laughed as he shook his head.
"What is so funny in what I say, Li Tian? The entire alchemy group has been struggling to raise one genius to rival those of the pill geniuses. He was supposed to come out today, against the Handu Kingdom. But now, with someone else claiming to be the chief alchemy disciple, he cannot go anywhere! And with what happened, who would allow my disciple to go with this new one being so talented?" the alchemy leader asked.
"So it is about that? Do not worry, alchemy leader. Do not worry. After all, Liu Tian will not be in the spotlight for much longer. Soon enough, more important things will be in play. Many important things will come into play." Li Tian smiled knowingly.
"What are you planning, you conniving fox?" another elder cursed at Li Tian.
"Although I respect everyone here as my senior, please do not forget that you are talking to the sect leader." Li Tian's expression turned frigid for a second, before it reverted back to its carefree state.
"Many will come to Cairin, but it is not the battlefield that the sect should care about. We should still focus on the imperial capital, two years hence. That is where we need to set our sights on. For now though, we should just let Liu Tian do what he wants." Li Tian said.
"Who the hell is he? It sounds like you know him so well?" the elder second from the right said. This elder was a little different from the others. His arms were chained to the chair that he was sitting in, and his entire body bound.
This was the second elder. The one that attacked Liu Feng all those months ago.
"He is just someone that I picked off the street so that the alchemy division could finally have a chief alchemy disciple. I did not know that you were grooming one all this time." Li Tian smiled and winked at the alchemy head.
"Shut up. I know that you were following our every step. Who the hell is this man? No alchemy genius can be found on the road like that. Who are you trying to humiliate here?" the alchemy head roared.
"Please, calm down. Like I said before, we do not need to pay much attention to Liu Tian." Li Tian smiled.
"I wonder why. Could it be, that he is the son of that traitor, or the son of the person that the royal family hates so much?" the second elder gave a knowing gaze.
"If you are, even for a moment, suggesting that Liu Feng is in fact, Liu Tian in disguise, then I cannot believe that anyone could be that stupid." Li Tian started laughing.
"Then why would you protect someone so much? And I don't think that Liu Feng even is in the sect. After he suddenly became number one in the inner sect, he disappeared. What did you do, Li Tian? Did you unfairly give him resources of the sect?" the second elder said coldly.
"First of all, I have no idea how he became so strong so fast. And second, if you suggest that someone who was crippled for sixteen years of his life, and then suddenly is an alchemy genius as well as a cultivation genius, then I think you should rethink your position as a nurturer of young geniuses. If you think such an absurd combination exists, then you must think that the heavens are dead then." Li Tian chuckled.
"Why not? Why not? Liu Feng is no ordinary person. He is that person's son, Liu Qian's foster son, and his genetics alone would make him one of the biggest geniuses this land has ever seen. I still cannot believe that he was crippled at birth. I think that something happened there-"
"I will not care that you are an elder of the sect anymore if you go to that taboo subject. The decree is a decree. No one will dare voice their complaints even if they have them." Li Tian's voice became terrifying at that instant.
