The Immortal Ascension Episode 9

Refining and preparing for trial grounds

Master Xu turns out to be costly. He reveals that the secret of refining is having a decent forge and for the sale price of 180 gems he will sell Han Li a forge and throw in some recipes. These recipes include foundation pills. HanLi tries out his new forge and makes oblivion and gold dragon pills. He notes the quality is quite good. This from having a decent forge and from the matured herbs he can grow with his moon essence bottle. Everybody is talking about the trial grounds and making plans to go…or not. The elders from all sects gather and have a serious discussion. First GrandMaster notes the lack of security and communication between sects and is rather shocked. She shows them evidence their world is waning because of over utilizing its spiritual source. She encourages them to close off the trial grounds after this harvest for sixty years. The poorer sects without a cache of pills is definitely against this measure. But even they can’t deny something needs to be done to conserve the rare spiritual plants. The GrandMaster also tries to bring their attention to demonic sect invading. She is openly laughed at for this assumption even as they fly overhead to infect the trial grounds. There was also mention to add those from 7 sects to start doing their jobs…so all seven sects have sleeper demon sect disciples hid within their realms. Each sect is choosing who will participate. Han Li was going to wait til next trial til he heard sixty year wait. That changes his mind at last minute and he throws himself into the contest. That night he heads to a shop for weapons and defense items. He sees what’s offered and says he’ll take them all. The merchant laughs til he smells two herbs 500 and 1000 years old. At that point he is ready to close shop and hand it to Han Li lock stock and barrel. Here he also uses the name Li FeiYu to hide who is really purchasing. Jerk disciple has stolen his fiancée’s foundation pill and broken off engagement. He has her bound and silenced where Han Li witnesses…and then of course the episode ends😝
