Reboot: Immortality Cultivation Era

After Shao Cangfeng leaves with his people, Gao Ge can’t help asking, “You want to be the young master of the Shao Family?”

“Didn’t I tell you before?” Shao Shuai asks curiously.

Gao Ge laughs.

When he met Shao Shuai for the first time, he realized that Shao Shuai is very ambitious.

However, this doesn’t stop him from making friends with Shao Shuai.

Being ambitious doesn’t mean having bad intentions.

Besides, in the field of immortal cultivation, if one is not ambitious at all, he can never become truly strong and superior.

Gao Ge has no idea about the Shao Family’s current situation, but as far as he knows, it’s not difficult for Shao Shuai to become the young master.

At least he thinks so.

“Oh right, what did you mean by saying that?” Gao Ge asks.

Shao Shuai replies with a teasing smile on his face, “I’m not going to tell you.”

“Forget about it then.” Gao Ge shrugs.

Since Shao Shuai doesn’t want to talk about it, he won’t insist then.

He is not that curious.

“Actually, it won’t matter if I tell you. However, there are too many people around. Since I agree with Shao Cangfeng not to disclose it, I won’t say it then. It’s a good thing for both him and me.”

After saying that, he stands up and leaves.

Gao Ge follows into Shao Shuai’s room.

After closing the door and making sure no one will eavesdrop, Shao Shuai starts talking.

“Actually, it’s not complicated,” Shao Shuai says, “I should have told you that my father rather than Shao Cangfeng’s father should have been the master of the Shao Family.”

Gao Ge nods.

When Shao Shuai said that to Shao Cangfeng, Gao Ge was nearby. Of course he has heard it.

“My father is kind of a genius. The highest level of the elixir is the nine-cycled elixir. One cycle means one heaven layer. Yet, it’s impossible to refine nine-cycled elixirs.”

“Impossible?” Gao Ge is a bit surprised.

He knows something about elixirs more or less but he doesn’t know much.

For example, he is not clear about the levels of the elixirs mentioned by Shao Shuai.

“Some say that the nine-cycled elixirs are for immortals,” Shao Shuai says with a smile, “Got it?”

Gao Ge takes a tumble.

“As such, if an alchemist wants to refine the nine-cycled elixirs, he must reach the immortal realm. Therefore, I have never seen the eight-cycled elixirs, let alone nine-cycled elixirs,” Shao Shuai says, “As far as I know, the highest-level elixirs that the current alchemist can refine are the six-cycled elixirs. If one wants to refine the six-cycled elixirs, he must be at the realm of Grand Master. And that’s not enough. The alchemist also needs to have the fire of herbs.”

“Fire of herbs?” Gao Ge blinks his eyes.

This is the first time he has heard the term. It sounds new to him.

“Yeah, the fire of herbs.” Shao Shuai is excited to mention the term. It’s like an ordinary cultivator talking about the heaven-level martial arts skill.

“Rumor has it that as long as one masters the fire of herbs, he can refine six-cycled elixirs or even elixirs of higher levels. The elixirs below six cycles can be refined with ordinary fire but if one wants to refine the six-cycled elixirs, he must be capable of mastering the fire of herbs.”

Gao Ge takes a tumble.

“And my father has mastered a kind of fire of herbs,” Shao Shuai says emotionally, “As such, my family has a few six-cycled elixirs. Those were refined by my father. Most amazingly, my father refined those elixirs when he was at the realm of Master. In this case, he should have been the master of the Shao Family. However, he went missing.”

“Missing?”

“I think he’s missing but the other people of the Shao Family believe that he’s dead.” Shao Shuai shrugs, “After all, at that time, a strong cultivator came to our place and struck a palm at my father, making him spit plenty of blood. Afterward, he has been gone. My family all think that he is dead but I don’t think so. Dead or alive, I must see his body. As long as I don’t see his body, he’s alive to me.”

Gao Ge nods and agrees with Shao Shuai.

Everything needs evidence.

“My father is missing. Thus, his brother, Shao Cangfeng’s father became the Shao Family’s master. Back then, Shao Cangfeng’s father was still the young master and the master was my grandpa,” Shao Shuai says, “When my grandpa died, he left a letter, designating me as the young master of the Shao Family. However, the letter was ruined by Shao Cangfeng’s father. Yet, quite some people in my family know about this. As such, many people in the Shao Family support me. Without those people’s protection, it’s hard to say whether I survive until now.”

“Therefore, you always act indifferently and arrogantly so that those people can let their guard down and you can have a meteoric rise one day?” Gao Ge says.

“Yeah. In fact, I’ve already been doing this,” Shao Shuai says with a smile, “But how do you think of this?”

Gao Ge can’t help thinking of Yue Xincheng and says smilingly, “My buddy’s case is similar to yours but he’s not as ambitious as you. He can’t bother to fight for anything.”

Shao Shuai asked with a grin, “Is it Yue Xincheng?”

Gao Ge nods.

“This is probably the biggest difference between me and him.” Shao Shuai sighs.

Gao Ge asks further, “Well, why are you going to the sea of herbs this time…”

Shao Shuai says in good spirit, “You’re right. I want to find the fire of herbs.”

Gao Ge knits his eyebrows, “If the fire of herbs is so easy to find, your father won’t be that impressive.”

“Of course. The fire of herbs is not easy to find but I’ve got some clues,” Shao Shuai says.

“You’ve offended Shao Cangfeng too severely. If you fail to find the fire of herbs, when you go back home, your situation will become very…”

Shao Shuai interrupts him with a wave before Gao Ge finishes talking.

“I know I’ve offended Shao Cangfeng this time. I’ve kind of fallen out with him and his father completely. I didn’t give them any chance but now, I’ve offered them a chance. Once I can’t find the fire of herbs, they will find a way to expel me out of the Shao Family after I go back,” Shao Shuai says with a grin, “Therefore, if I find the fire of herbs, I’ll become the young master of the Shao Family. If I fail…”

Speaking of that, Shao Shuai drops his smile and has a cold look in his eyes.

“If I fail to find it, I’ll give it up and directly expel Shao Cangfeng and his father from the Shao Family. Do you really think I can’t get rid of them?”
