Transmigration: The Peerless Immortal Husband

After listening to Gu Yao’s ideas about the Alchemist Guild, Dean Yu clapped his hands in approval and extended the concept further. Not only could an Alchemist Guild be established, but Guilds for Blacksmiths, Talisman Masters, and Formation Masters could also be organized in the same way. This was truly focused on the interests of cultivators, a great thing for benefiting the general population of cultivators.

“You’ve come up with such a good plan, and you have such an open mind—excellent!” Dean Yu said, his mood significantly lifted as the path ahead suddenly seemed much clearer.

Gu Yao humbly replied, “It’s nothing, really. It’s just taking the model from within a sect and applying it to the entire cultivation world.”

Dean Yu laughed heartily and immediately contacted Hu Master to discuss the matter. This issue needed Hu Master’s intervention because, currently, Hu Master held the highest prestige among the alchemists on Tianlin Continent. His cultivation and alchemy skills were also the highest. Although Gu Yao’s talent was outstanding, his lack of experience made it difficult for him to command the respect of others.

Hu Master was also very displeased with the practices of the Qianxue Sect. He wanted to focus solely on studying alchemy, but others wouldn’t let him do so. The Tianlin Continent was on the verge of being thrown into chaos by a bunch of scoundrels. Since Cuiyan Valley was located on the Tianlin Continent, it couldn’t remain indifferent or merely stand by. Otherwise, Cuiyan Valley would end up following the same path as Tianfu Academy.

The only solution was for everyone to unite and counteract the forces secretly trying to control the continent. Hu Master didn’t want the opposing side to act first and ruin the great opportunity. How could he not feel anxious? He had seen leader Hong from Qianxue Sect before. Although he was still some distance away from forming his Golden Core, after getting the Tianyuan Pill, he successfully formed his Core in no time. It was clear that a powerful force had been behind pushing him to that point.

At that moment, Hu Master received a communication from Dean Yu. The message mentioned Gu Yao’s suggestion for an Alchemist Guild. After reading the general outline of the Alchemist Guild, Hu Master’s eyes lit up. If the Alchemist Guild could be established, it would certainly benefit the entire alchemist community on the continent, even more than the previous Cultivation Alliance.

What made the Cultivation Alliance so daunting was the issue of power distribution. There was concern that the elected leader might have too much power and endanger the interests of individual sects. However, the Alchemist Guild would greatly narrow the scope of its influence, yet no sect could do without alchemists. This would tie the sects together with an invisible rope.

Hu Master wished he could sit down with Gu Yao for several days and nights to discuss things, but that was not practical at the moment. It was better to first establish the framework for the Alchemist Guild, and there would be plenty of opportunities to meet and discuss in the future.

After considering the main issues, Hu Master reached out to well-known alchemists, major sects, powerful families, and merchant organizations across the continent, issuing a call and proposal for support. He hoped that all parties would unite to establish the Alchemist Guild, working together to cultivate more alchemists for the benefit of the continent’s cultivators.

Hu Master personally made a promise not to withhold any alchemy techniques from the guild members. He would organize and share his alchemy insights within the guild, allowing any alchemist who met the conditions to review them, thereby lowering the barriers for entry.

Tianlin Continent was once again in an uproar!

As soon as Hu Master’s call went out, Dean Yu of Tianfu Academy immediately responded, declaring that all members of the academy’s Pill Peak, as well as Alchemist Gu Yao, firmly supported the Alchemist Guild’s principles. They would join the guild at the earliest opportunity and work together with others to exchange alchemy techniques and promote the flourishing of alchemy on Tianlin Continent.

Both Hu Master and the young Gu Yao had significant influence in the alchemy world. These two statements immediately focused the attention of cultivators on the Alchemist Guild. Soon, several well-known alchemists voiced their support for Hu Master’s call, expressing their willingness to join the Alchemist Guild organized by him.

Following this, sects like Beixing Sect and Tianhai Gate also expressed their intent to join, willing to contribute to the development of the Alchemist Guild and alchemy.

Numerous merchant associations also sent their congratulations to Hu Master, publicly supporting the establishment of the Alchemist Guild and offering to help with its formation.

These merchants obviously saw the benefits. By being early supporters and building good relations with the Alchemist Guild, they could ensure a stable supply of medicinal pills in the future, and at the very least, gain favor from Hu Master and Alchemist Gu Yao.

It was well-known that although Gu Yao was a young alchemist, his high-grade pills were extremely difficult to find and sold for high prices at auctions. Pills labeled with Gu Yao’s name would always fetch a premium. It was said that these pills had been obtained through multiple channels, ultimately ending up in Tianfu Academy.

Hu Master was not just talking. After receiving responses from all sides, he began to establish the headquarters of the Alchemist Guild. He chose a neutral location—one that was neither affiliated with Cuiyan Valley nor any particular sect, yet it was beautiful and picturesque.

The choice of this location demonstrated Hu Master’s sincerity. If he weren’t concerned with the development of alchemists and alchemy on the continent, as the leader of Cuiyan Valley, Hu Master wouldn’t have gone to such lengths.

As soon as the location was announced, many alchemists began to prepare for their journey to the soon-to-be-established headquarters of the Alchemist Guild. Not everything could be handled by Hu Master alone, and the earlier they joined the guild, the more advantageous their position would be.

Many merchants also sent people and resources to help build the Alchemist Guild headquarters. Tianfu Academy dispatched numerous cultivators as well, making the position of Qianxue Sect increasingly awkward. Should they continue their attacks, or halt their actions?

Hong Sect Master had already returned to the Qianxue Sect. He had specifically chosen a remote location to unexpectedly and successfully form his Golden Core. Of course, this was also to hide many of his methods. He had thought that after years of planning and successfully forming his Core, this operation would go smoothly. He expected it would either swallow Tianfu Academy or at least severely damage it.

However, he did not expect that after the Cultivation Alliance had been stopped in its tracks, Hu Master would stir up the creation of an Alchemist Guild. Was Hu Master an idiot? Publicly revealing Cuiyan Valley’s alchemy heritage? Would the elders and disciples of Cuiyan Valley agree to this?

But it seemed that to clear up his doubts, the elders and disciples within Cuiyan Valley unanimously stood behind their leader, waving flags in support of his bold actions.

Hong Sect Master had the urge to spit blood.

“Master, what should we do now? What about the disciples on the battlefield?” Elder Gan came over to ask Hong Sect Master. She had always disliked Tianfu Academy and was a strong supporter of striking against them. However, the creation of the Alchemist Guild now made her feel that the situation had become troublesome.

If Qianxue Sect dared to take inappropriate actions, they might find that the doors of the Alchemist Guild would be closed to them. Even now, some of the alchemists in their sect were protesting. Although they had spread rumors that Hu Master was attempting to seize power, they hadn’t gained much support. Many alchemists were eager for further opportunities, and now that this opportunity was right in front of them, how could they refuse?

For disciples who didn’t know the full story, it was normal for conflicts and struggles to arise between factions. But why was this dispute dragging on without resolution? If it continued, more disciples would be injured or killed. Clearly, Qianxue Sect was not willing to let go, so if the Sect Master didn’t offer a legitimate reason, there would be no unity among the opinions below.

Although Qianxue Sect had a dark side, not all of the disciples were corrupt. They had been recruited from all over Tianlin Continent, and how could they side with the cultivators of Tianlin Continent’s opposition?

Moreover, after the events in the Cangkun Secret Realm, many disciples had developed a strong liking for Chi Changye and Gu Yao. Without Chi Changye’s protection, how many of the disciples entering the realm would have survived? The relationship between the two factions had clearly been warming, so what was the real cause of this current conflict?

Hong Sect Master’s face darkened, and his Golden Core aura was intimidating. Facing the more authoritative Sect Master, Elder Gan didn’t dare to voice her opinions.

“Fool!” Hong Sect Master snapped, shattering a table in his fury.

After venting his anger, Hong Sect Master calmed himself and thought for a moment, then said, “Have the disciples hold their positions and stop engaging for now. Also, send more people into Tianfu Academy, preferably close to their secret areas and the Sword Pavilion.”

If Tianfu Academy only had one Golden Core cultivator, Yu, he would pose no threat. With the powerful figure behind Hong Sect Master, he was confident that he could wipe out Tianfu Academy. Yu was a Golden Core cultivator, but he had been injured in his youth. Hong Sect Master was confident that even though he had just entered the Golden Core stage, he would easily defeat Yu.

What he needed to worry about now were the two individuals who were in closed-door cultivation, as well as the mysterious young man who had breached the Sword Pavilion. Especially the latter—Hong Sect Master and the powerful figure behind him both feared him greatly. Who would have thought that with a group of heavenly geniuses from Changxian Sect, the young man had survived the Cangkun Secret Realm?

“Yes, Sect Master, I will make the arrangements right away,” Elder Gan responded.

Alchemist Guild Headquarters Location.

Hu Master had assigned people to handle the work, but he wasn’t directly involved. Several large merchant associations took charge of acquiring all the materials needed for the construction. With the help of cultivators, magnificent halls began to rise rapidly from the ground. But that wasn’t all—surrounding the grand Alchemist Guild halls, the surrounding land was also secured by far-sighted merchants.

Soon, straight roads and buildings began to appear quickly. It was easy to imagine that it wouldn’t be long before a new cultivation city emerged here. It would rise to fame across the entire Tianlin Continent at a rapid pace, becoming a holy land for all alchemists and cultivators who loved alchemy.

With the buildings in place, Hu Master invited formation masters. After offering generous compensation, these formation experts worked tirelessly, determined to set up the most advanced formations and restrictions in all of Tianlin Continent.

The formation masters gathered here even entertained the thought of establishing a Formation Master Guild headquarters, perhaps next to the Alchemist Guild headquarters. This way, it would likely attract more formation masters, as proximity would bring advantage—after all, the early bird catches the worm.

Their enthusiasm was unprecedented, leaving behind any chaotic thoughts from the continent.
