When Immortal Ascension Fails Time Travel to Try Again Story 9 - Nothing Bad Ever Happens at the Alchemy Convention

Story 9 - Nothing Bad Ever Happens at the Alchemy Convention (15/16)

To get ready to leave this place, I focused part of my mind on ensuring our safety. The first step to that was checking in with Ghosty.

::Have you recovered enough to use that defensive shield I taught you?::

::You know I’m still recovering.::

::I’m not asking you to use it at full strength. Obviously, you’re not well enough for that. But can you produce a shield that holds off an attack from another Nascent Soul?::

::Senior Lin—::

::I won’t ask unless it’s absolutely necessary.::

He hesitated. ::One ti. Then I’ll be back where I was a few months ago.::

While there were many ways to help the turtle, considering our current limitations, the most effective would be to delegate.

To that end, I used part of my mind to contact the Guest of Honor.

“Senior Azure Pill Saint, this is Fairy Lin, from the Indomitable Will Sect.”

“Oh! The little alchemist who gave up your lecture spot for , not that I’m benefiting from it. As you may have noticed, everyone needs to evacuate imdiately.”

“The black turtle we’re on is being attacked by a Demonic Soul Devouring Vine.”

“Which is why we should all exit as fast as possible.”

I frowned. “We can’t allow evil cultivators to get their hands on Senior Alchemy Island. If you’re willing to make the pill to save the turtle, I’ll give you the valuable prescription, rights, and all.”

He chuckled. “You want to stay here and risk my neck? For a beast unrelated to ?”

Technically an ascendant beast.

“For a recipe that only an Immortal Bone Creation expert can create. One that will help you reach greater heights.”

“Bah! Don’t be ridiculous. You’re a re Foundation Establishnt cultivator. Even if you knew about a pill like that, my life, as the creator of new hand seals that will be used for generations, is worth more than a simple recipe. And it’s certainly more significant than yours.”

I really wanted to yell at this asshole while doing an impression of the ‘Listen here you little shit’ from my past-past life.
