Chapter 1132 Flying Immortal Alchemy Guild
1132 Flying Immortal Alchemy Guild
Arriving once more at the Flying Immortal City teleportation hall, Jiang Chengxuan navigated through the crowd and stood on the resplendent teleportation platform.
This was his third teleportation for the day, and he was still within the usage limit.
As the immortal light shimmered and space fluctuated, Jiang Chengxuan's vision brightened, and the scenery of the teleportation hall transformed dramatically.
Flying Immortal City's Northern Sector, this was Jiang Chengxuan's destination.
Without much hesitation, he walked out of the teleportation hall and onto the main street of the Northern Sector, anticipation bubbling within him.
Immediately, Jiang Chengxuan noticed a difference in the atmosphere compared to other sectors of Flying Immortal City.
The streets here were lined with cultivators selling medicinal herbs and shops dealing in alchemical furnaces and other tools.
It was clear that the influence of the Flying Immortal Alchemy Guild pervaded this area.
Moreover, the cultivators here seemed to be of a higher cultivation level compared to those in other parts of the city.
Following the flow of these cultivators, Jiang Chengxuan soon found the Flying Immortal Alchemy Guild's location.
Even from several hundred feet away, Jiang Chengxuan could see the towering structure of the Guild. It was a massive black tower standing majestically between heaven and earth, resembling a giant clad in black armor.
The tower's top connected to an apparition filled with countless stars revolving slowly like massive pills, creating a grand and mystical sight.
Just observing from a distance, Jiang Chengxuan could sense the powerful aura emanating from within. He could faintly detect that the formations protecting the Flying Immortal Alchemy Guild were likely more formidable than those of the Immortal Domain Auction House.
The stars burning atop the tower seemed more like manifestations of Dao rules than mere illusions, adding to the tower's imposing presence.
"This is the foundation of an alchemical power in the Immortal Domain—truly awe-inspiring," Jiang Chengxuan remarked. He marveled at the profound strength of the Flying Immortal Alchemy Guild, which seemingly surpassed even that of the auction house.
Reflecting on this, Jiang Chengxuan realized the key difference. The auction house primarily dealt in buying and selling, reaping profits from each transaction.
In contrast, alchemists of the Guild were much sought after; their services often required cultivators to establish good relations and offer significant favors beyond mere immortal crystals.
This extensive network of connections naturally bolstered the Guild's influence and power.
With these thoughts in mind, Jiang Chengxuan's anticipation for immersing himself in the alchemical arts of the Immortal Domain grew stronger.
He quickened his pace toward the towering structure of the Flying Immortal Alchemy Guild.
As he approached the giant tower, Jiang Chengxuan found it hard to take his eyes off its peak.
As expected, just before he could enter, two cultivators clad in black and gold robes appeared to block his path.

"From where do you come, Immortal Master, and what business do you have with the Flying Immortal Alchemy Guild? If you wish to purchase pills, please proceed to the sales area," the guards said politely, though their tone lacked the reverence he had experienced at the Immortal Court and the auction house.
It seemed they were accustomed to encountering powerful cultivators like Jiang Chengxuan.
"I come from the Immortal Court, having accepted a task from your Flying Immortal Alchemy Guild," Jiang Chengxuan replied calmly, raising his right hand to display the golden mark.
Seeing the mark, the guards' expressions shifted to one of surprise, and they bowed more respectfully. "Ah, a distinguished guest invited by our elders. Please, come inside."
The moment the task involved the inner workings of the Guild, their attitude changed abruptly, indicating the strict hierarchy within the Flying Immortal Alchemy Guild.
Led by the guards, Jiang Chengxuan entered the grand tower of the Guild. The first sight that greeted him was a magnificently decorated hall, lined with treasures and rare resources displayed in glittering cabinets.
The opulence was accentuated by intricately carved embellishments, exuding luxury and grandeur. At the center were two enormous alchemical furnaces, their fires still burning, indicating ongoing alchemical processes.
Before Jiang Chengxuan could take in more details, a member of the Guild departed and soon returned with an elderly man.
Accompanying the elder were numerous cultivators in black and gold robes, curiously glancing at Jiang Chengxuan.
The elder wore a red and gold robe, his demeanor stern and meticulous. Approaching Jiang Chengxuan, he nodded slightly in greeting.
"You are the one sent by the Immortal Court?" the elder asked in a deep voice, his presence radiating a fiery aura.
"Indeed," Jiang Chengxuan replied steadily, revealing the golden mark on his hand.
The elder nodded approvingly, his expression softening. "Your Immortal Master status satisfies our requirements. However, we must first assess your alchemical skills. Can you demonstrate them for us?"
Jiang Chengxuan nodded confidently. "Of course."
His confident demeanor impressed the elder, who nodded again. The cultivators behind the elder also looked on with wide eyes, intrigued by the presence of an Immortal Master skilled in alchemy—a rarity.
The elder, one of the Guild's managers, was a ninth-level alchemist on the verge of becoming an immortal alchemist, yet he had not yet succeeded in transforming his immortal body.
This highlighted the immense difficulty of excelling in both alchemy and cultivation.
As preparations for Jiang Chengxuan's assessment began, the hall grew silent in anticipation of witnessing the skills of an Immortal Master in the alchemical arts.
