"Do not be disappointed!"

Fang Bai patted Tiankui Immortal Emperor on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Although you have to start cultivation from the beginning after your rebirth, in another sense, this is a blessing in disguise."

Seeing the puzzled look on Tiankui Immortal Emperor’s face, Fang Bai said, "The physical body I have possessed now is stronger than the one in my previous life, and my cultivation progress is faster. I am confident that within a hundred years, I can return to my peak cultivation level!"

Tiankui Immortal Emperor’s eyes lit up once again.

Fang Bai’s physique in his previous life was well known to him; it was a rare Desolate Ancient Divine Body with five Innate Spiritual Roots, which enabled him to reach the pinnacle of the Immortal Dao and become a supreme existence that swept through the ages and shook the Immortal Realm.

If what Fang Bai said was true, wouldn’t his cultivation in this life quickly return to its peak and even surpass his previous life?

"A thousand years ago, I taught you what I could, and there’s nothing new I can teach now. Take this Water of Life and keep it safe..."

As Fang Bai spoke, a fist-sized orb of Water of Life flowed out from the Five Elements Space Ring and appeared before Tiankui Immortal Emperor.

Tiankui Immortal Emperor sensed the vast and powerful life force emanating from the Water of Life, knowing it was a rare supreme treasure. He hurriedly took out a jade bottle and carefully stored the Water of Life.

"The power of the Water of Life is strong; be careful not to be greedy. In the future, when you feel you have reached the critical point for advancement, just take a drop, and leave the rest for the high-potential disciples in the sect. I hope you will achieve a breakthrough soon, and the overall strength of the sect can reach a new level!"

Fang Bai continued.

"I will remember the Palace Master’s words!"

Tiankui Immortal Emperor nodded vigorously.

Fang Bai and Tiankui Immortal Emperor spent an entire day in the Sect Master Hall. The tens of thousands of Heaven Fiend Sect disciples waiting outside did not dare to leave without the sect master’s orders and sat cross-legged in the square, cultivating and nourishing themselves.

When Fang Bai and Tiankui Immortal Emperor walked out of the Sect Master Hall, all the Heaven Fiend Sect disciples who were cultivating stood up.

Some observant disciples noticed that although the sect master and Alchemist Fang walked out side by side, the sect master was surprisingly respectful, treating Alchemist Fang as if he were an Upper Immortal.

While they were puzzled, thinking the treatment given to Alchemist Fang exceeded his status, who would speak out?

"From today, Alchemist Fang is a tribute to our Heaven Fiend Sect! From now on, when you see him, it’s as if you’re seeing me!"

Tiankui Immortal Emperor stood on the steps at the front of the square, looked over the tens of thousands of disciples below, and said loudly.

The fact that Fang Bai became a tribute to the Heaven Fiend Sect was something the disciples had long anticipated, so they were not surprised and responded in unison, paying respects to Fang Bai.

Fang Bai had already informed Tiankui Immortal Emperor that in private they could address each other as mentor and disciple, but in public, Fang Bai was just the sect’s tribute, and there was no need for excessive courtesy.

"You all know that I am both an Alchemist and an Artifact Refiner. Since I’ve become your tribute, I should do something for you... Alright, those of you who need help with alchemy or artifact refining can come to me."

Looking at the nearly ten thousand disciples of Heaven Fiend Sect on the square, Fang Bai thought that these were Tiankui Immortal Emperor’s disciples and students, and thus his own disciples and grandchildren; they would surely become part of the Emperor’s Palace in the future, so they needed proper training.

"Fang, since we are now like family, you won’t need any compensation for helping us with alchemy and artifact refining, will you?"

A disciple from Heaven Fiend Sect asked.

Upon hearing this, tens of thousands of disciples focused their attention on Fang Bai, waiting to see how he would respond.

In the Immortal Realm, few could perform alchemy or artifact refining, and even fewer could create high-level Immortal Pills and Immortal Artifacts. An Alchemist and Artifact Refiner like Fang Bai, famous and respected for helping others, charged significant fees; saving these fees would be ideal.

However, in the Immortal Realm, alchemists and artifact refiners generally had an unspoken rule: unless it was close family or a dear friend, or the alchemist or artifact refiner waived the fee willingly, a fee had to be paid.

And the amount of this fee was not fixed; it was up to the alchemist or artifact refiner to decide.

Naturally, that disciple’s suggestion of "no compensation" was a jest, as he also understood that even being a sect’s tribute, after creating a fixed number of Immortal Pills or Immortal Artifacts, he could charge afterward, though it might be less than other alchemists or artifact refiners in Canglan Immortal City.

The disciple who asked Fang Bai hoped not to have him do it for free but to charge less so it wouldn’t burden them too much.

Tiankui Immortal Emperor glared at the disciple, annoyed at his excessive mouth, intending to scold him, but saw Fang Bai pointing at the disciple and saying with a smile, "You’re right, we are family. How can I charge family for alchemy and artifact refining?"

Upon hearing this, tens of thousands of Heaven Fiend Sect disciples buzzed with excitement, their joy indescribable.

"Alchemist Fang, are you really offering to refine alchemy and artifacts for us at no cost?"

A Heaven Fiend Sect disciple asked excitedly.

Fang Bai said, "You heard correctly, it’s free!"

"Great!"

"Thank you, Alchemist Fang!"

In front of the Sect Master Hall, the square was filled with cheers from tens of thousands of disciples, their voices echoing wave after wave.

For most Heaven Fiend Sect disciples, requesting other alchemists or artifact refiners in Canglan Immortal City to refine for them would cost a fortune in cultivation resources, and success was not guaranteed.

However, it was said that Alchemist Fang had a high success rate in refining. If he offered to help the disciples for free, it would be a major relief, allowing each disciple to save a significant amount of cultivation resources.

Seeing the joy on Fang Bai’s face, Tiankui Immortal Emperor felt relieved and cautiously said, "Alchemist Fang, this... may not be suitable, right?"

He knew Fang Bai had many things to do, and if staying here to refine for the disciples interfered with other priorities, it could be problematic.

Fang Bai waved his hand and said, "No problem, I’ll stay for a few days to refine some Immortal Pills and Immortal Artifacts for everyone, as a gift for meeting you all."

"On behalf of the tens of thousands of Heaven Fiend Sect disciples, thank you, Alchemist Fang."

Tiankui Immortal Emperor bowed deeply to Fang Bai with his fists clasped.

In the following days, Fang Bai refined some Immortal Pills and Immortal Artifacts for the Heaven Fiend Sect disciples and also took a large amount of cultivation resources from the Five Elements Space Ring to distribute among the disciples. This act of generosity greatly increased the disciples’ favor toward him.
