The disciples looked at each other. As disciples of the Pillheart Sect, how could they not know who this old man was? Elder Lin was an old monster who had seen through the founding of the sect! He was no weaker than the current Sect Master, the Great Empress!

Everyone naturally understood what he meant.

When they recalled Su Ze’s current identity, they naturally couldn’t suppress their shock.

“No way! Could it be that he wants to take Su Ze as his disciple?”

“It’s fine if the empress is taking her first male disciple, but Sword Ancestor Lin, who has never taken a disciple before, is actually interested in Su Ze?”

“Su Ze is a monster! He’s truly terrifying! His alchemy and sword are both makings of monsters that only appear once in a blue moon!”

“He probably won’t choose Sword Ancestor Lin as his master anymore, right? After all, the sect has a rule that a disciple can only choose one master!”

“Silence! We welcome the Empress!”

Someone among the disciples suddenly shouted, and the entire place immediately quieted down.

The Empress stepped on the Extreme Ice Heavenly Dao and slowly walked toward the square. Her mouth opened slightly, and her voice entered everyone’s ears. “Su Ze is naturally interested in the path of alchemy. Patriarch Lin, Su Ze is already my disciple.”

Elder Lin raised his eyebrows and placed his hands behind his back. He said in a clear voice, “Of course I am aware, but Sect Master, don’t forget that the innate sword body was born for the sword. How can I waste Su Ze’s excellent constitution? Moreover, even if he is your disciple, if I want to take him in, how can you reject me?”

“I will naturally not interfere with your thoughts. However, Su Ze is able to refine the Perfect Clear Heart Pill. This has already determined his talent. I naturally don’t want to see him waste his achievements in alchemy.” The Empress appeared in front of Elder Lin in a flash, with a wave of her hand, seven seats appeared out of thin air in the square.

“Grand Elders, Sword Ancestor, and Su Ze, let’s sit down and have a proper discussion.” The empress narrowed her eyes. Her awe-inspiring aura wasn’t concealed at all.

“Hmph! I think that we should naturally have a proper discussion.” Elder Lin flapped his robes and calmly sat down. At that moment, he had an imposing aura.

Su Ze also sat down with a smile on his face.

When the surrounding disciples saw this scene, they swallowed their saliva. At that moment, they were deeply aware of Su Ze’s status. The Sword Ancestor, the Great Empress, and the four Elders. These six almighty experts usually did not gather together.

“Sword Ancestor, as one of the founders of our sect, you naturally understand how difficult it is to refine a Perfect-quality Clear Heart Pill, right?” The empress propped her chin on her hand and stared unblinkingly at Elder Lin.

Elder Lin said leisurely, “Of course I do. Only you and my old friend have refined it before.”

“Then, I’m sure you know what kind of results we have achieved, right? I don’t think it’s appropriate to let a sword distract Su Ze away from his furnace!” The empress narrowed her eyes and asked.

“Do I need you to tell me that? Of course I do, but Sect Master, don’t dismiss the innate sword physique just yet. I don’t have an innate sword physique, but I’ve been dealing with swords for 500 years. I know more about the innate sword physique than anyone else!” Elder Lin said firmly.

Then, he continued to add, “Drunk Sword Immortal is an innate sword physique, right? His past achievements are all clear, right?”

As soon as Elder Lin finished speaking, his gaze swept across the six people present. No one refuted him because they knew that although this old man was usually easy to talk to, when he argued with others… it was as if he was a different person.

When Lin Ye heard this… after thinking for a moment, he said, “Going down two paths and setting them ablaze. Drunk Sword Immortal’s dazzling battle achievements are indeed a great legend in our world. Legend has it that Drunk Sword Immortal’s sword broke through the firmament and he has already stepped out of this world.”

“That’s right!” Elder Lin’s gaze was sharp. He tapped his finger on the chair and spoke with assurance. “And according to what I know, Drunk Sword Immortal was born from a wild background and has never received the guidance of a mighty figure in the way of the sword.”

“What you are trying to say is that if Su Ze can receive your guidance, his future achievements might surpass Drunk Sword Immortal?” Chen Lin asked with a serious expression.

“No, what I mean is that if he has the right guidance, Su Ze would be mightier than Drunk Sword Immortal!” Elder Lin’s expression was serious.

When he said this, everyone present almost sucked in a breath of cold air. It was a massive statement!

Drunk Sword Immortal was already a legendary expert, yet Elder Lin dared to make such a claim!

This was too unbelievable.

“Sword Ancestor, Elder Lin, are you sure you aren’t exaggerating?” The empress narrowed her eyes and questioned.

“How can I, at my age, spout nonsense? Su Ze awakened his innate sword body in the morning and comprehended sword intent in the afternoon. Do you still think that what I said is not credible?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the scene fell silent for a moment.

“That’s true, but I will not agree to let Su Ze give up on alchemy.”

The empress’s overbearing retort caused the entire scene to sink into silence.

The corners of Elder Lin’s mouth curled into a smile, “If I remember correctly, the sect-wide martial arts competition will be held in a week’s time. Give me a week. If Su Ze doesn’t make it into the top three, I will withdraw! How about this?”

The empress was silent, and her eyes were filled with a sheen of contemplation.

Su Ze, who had been silent the whole time, saw that the situation was getting tenser and tenser, so he spoke up, “Sect leader, why don’t you let me give it a try first? I remember that no disciple from other sects can refine a Perfect Clear Heart Pill, so I think we can give Elder Lin’s suggestion a try.”

“So be it. Su Ze, come to my Guanghan Palace tomorrow morning!” After saying this, the Extreme Ice Heavenly Dao appeared beneath the empress’s feet, and she left without looking back.

“Hahaha, Su Ze, come with me.” Elder Lin looked happy. He patted Su Ze’s shoulder and led the way with a smile.

Su Ze nodded and followed him.

Only a bunch of surprised disciples were left at the scene.

“Oh my god! He wants Su Ze to get into the top three in a week!”

“This is absolutely impossible. Even if Su Ze has an innate sword physique, the disciples of other sects have been preparing for this competition for ten years!”

“Right. Besides, Su Ze was once a person who had never cultivated before.”

“If he says so, then anything is possible! We just need to watch quietly!”



Elder Lin took out several cultivation techniques from the firmament pavilion and then brought Su Ze to the sect’s Holy Land of cultivation.

The blessed land of cultivation!
