Starting with the Magic Absorption Technique: I swept through the fantasy world.

Wang Mu knew that these people were only speaking up for him to make a good impression and make things easier when it came to exchanging the treasure.

"You...you all, don't bully us."

"Alright, Old Liu, I did say those words, and I'm willing to accept defeat. But I'd like to know if there's a time limit for being a servant. I wonder how long you're thinking of as your time limit, young man."

The elder of the Pill Hall was interrupted by Chen Xianyu halfway through his sentence. He looked at Wang Mu with an indifferent expression and lifeless eyes and asked.

"Alright, it seems Young Master Chen has some guts. In that case, I won't bully you. The term is three years. After three years, I will let you go."

"Young Master, this...this is unacceptable!" The elder of the Pill Hall said to Chen Xianyu in a panic.

Chen Xianyu sighed deeply, then approached Wang Mu and asked for a drop of blood to complete the time-limited master-servant contract.

A wondrous array formed above their heads, and the drop of blood that Wang Mu had given slowly dripped into Chen Xianyu's brow. Then, a wondrous Dao rune flew into the top of Wang Mu's head.

Suddenly, Wang Mu felt as if a faint thread had formed between him and Chen Xianyu, but the thread on his side was thicker than the one on Chen Xianyu's side—a very common master-servant contract.

"Master, I will stay by your side for the next three years and help you solve your problems."

Having completed the contract, Chen Xianyu knelt respectfully before Wang Mu and said...

"The Pill Hall is likely to be in turmoil this time, and the eldest disciple has become a servant."

As a candidate for the next Dan Hall Master, Chen Xianyu, putting aside his superb stone appraisal skills, has already barely reached the Tribulation Transcending Realm in terms of cultivation alone.

"If those old fogies find out now, they'll probably go crazy. Young master, I think it's better for you to leave the Pill Domain for now. If you stay any longer, you'll face a great calamity."

An old man from the Valley of Dawn offered advice.

"Thank you for your concern, senior. Now that I have done these things, I am naturally not afraid of those old fogies from the Pill Hall coming to cause me trouble. Come on then, I, Wang Mu, am not someone to be trifled with."

Wang Mu raised his head and said with pride.

"Why do you say that? Who is this old immortal?"

Wang Mu asked the old Taoist priest.

According to ancient records, these old Taoists had already reached the Great Perfection of the Ascension Realm when they were young, and were only one step away from the legendary Saint Realm. After so many years, it is very likely that they have already reached that realm.

The old Taoist priest's eyes shone with starlight as he spoke with utmost admiration.

"what?"

Wang Mu was greatly alarmed.

The peak of the Ascension Realm many years ago?

Is it still possible to reach the realm of a sage?

Such a powerful being is indeed beyond my current ability to provoke. I had never encountered such a level of power before leaving the Holy Domain, and I never expected that I would have already provoked him.

"I heard that Chen Xianyu was taught by one of the old immortals when he was young. Otherwise, how could he have touched the threshold of the Tribulation Realm at such a young age?"

"This kid is probably in mortal danger by doing this."

Discussions unfolded here, one sentence at a time.

Chen Xianyu, who was at the center of the discussion, did not show any emotional change because of any of the words, and just looked at Wang Mu calmly.

The emotions in his eyes were hard to decipher.

"Who dares to take my Dan Hall's top disciple as a servant? How audacious!"

A furious shout suddenly came from all directions, and what appeared before everyone was an old and frail figure carrying a golden bell.

Looking up, he realized that it was the same old man he had met briefly in the Pill Hall yesterday.

Upon hearing this angry shout, the people around him scattered, leaving Wang Mu standing alone in the center.

Upon seeing Chen Xianyu beside Wang Mu, the old man rushed over, intending to bring Chen Xianyu back to his side.

However, he discovered that no matter how he summoned Chen Xianyu, Chen Xianyu never left Wang Mu's side.

He immediately flew into a rage and pointed at Wang Mu, saying, "Boy, is it you who took my Dan Palace's heir as a servant?"

"It's me. This is just a bet between Young Master Chen and me. You have no right to interfere."

Wang Mu raised his head and calmly looked at the old man, saying...

Upon seeing Wang Mu's face, the old man's expression changed drastically, and he pointed at Wang Mu in surprise.

"It's actually you?"

"Second Uncle, if anyone is to blame for this, it's Xianyu. It was Xianyu who, out of greed, made a bet with Young Master Wang. He not only lost the medicinal herbs that Master asked me to retrieve, but also voluntarily became his servant. Let's consider this Xianyu's punishment."

Chen Xianyu looked at the old man with a dim gaze and a sorrowful expression.

"Child, you... sigh!"

The old man pointed a trembling finger at Chen Xianyu, then looked at Wang Mu beside him, unsure of what to say.

"Alright, alright, you two come back to the Pill Hall with me first, and I will report to the Hall Master before making a decision."

Second Uncle certainly didn't want Chen Xianyu to become Wang Mu's servant, but the Palace Master had previously given an order that they should only befriend Wang Mu and never make enemies. Although he didn't understand, he could only obey the order.

"Thank you for your understanding, senior," Wang Mu replied with a fist and palm salute.

When the people around heard this, most of them cast pitying glances at Wang Mu.

This means we'll discuss it further in the Pill Hall. But who's going to reason with you then? Might makes right! The Pill Hall absolutely cannot accept this. How could they possibly accept their future heir being someone else's servant? This kid is definitely not coming back this time.

"What a pity for those seven-colored immortal gold and peerless divine medicines; they'll just benefit the Pill Palace again."

"Such good fortune is ultimately not meant for us. When the Pill Palace produces another peerless immortal weapon, the entire Pill Domain will truly be unparalleled in the world."

A group of elderly men who were waiting to exchange immortal gold and divine medicine from Wang Mu all sighed and left.

Wang Mu knew perfectly well what the Hall Master of the Pill Palace truly thought of him. The fact that he produced that pill formula proved that he had an unbreakable connection with the Holy Venerable of Wildfire.

This is the source of Wang Mu's confidence in doing this.

Throughout the journey, Chen Xianyu followed closely behind Wang Mu, as if he had completely assumed the role of a servant.

Seeing this, the second uncle could only sigh repeatedly.

They returned to the main hall of the Pill Palace in less than an hour.

The second uncle hurriedly went to the temple master and explained the specific situation to him.

The Dan Palace Master's face showed no change in expression, but Wang Mu noticed a hint of joy. He was completely bewildered, wondering if he had misread it.

"Xianyu's weakness is that he is too arrogant. It's not wrong for a young man to be arrogant, but he needs to learn to restrain himself. This time, Young Master Wang did not do anything wrong. Xianyu deserves this lesson. Let Xianyu stay by Young Master Wang's side for three years as a training experience."
