Even from the standpoint of the Five Poison Sect, they did not want this matter to be blown out of proportion. Although the True Martial Pavilion could be accused of rebellion, the Five Poison Sect would be the ones to lose face.
After all, once the news spread, it would be like the Five Poison Sect asking for help, hoping that the other martial arts sects would lend a helping hand.
Most importantly, once the martial arts sects knew about the Golden Snake Sword, they might even hit them while they were down. After all, they did not want the Five Poison Sect to grow stronger.
After thinking it through, Pavilion Master Sui felt relieved. He quickly made a decision. During this period of time, he did not allow any unrelated people to go out. He also confiscated some of the disciples' cell phones. This way, he could further prevent the news from leaking.
In the True Martial Pavilion, most of the disciples did not have a cell phone as a communication tool. However, there was a small group of people who had obtained the approval of the hall master and above. Only then were they qualified to use a cell phone.
Although this matter had come to an end, Pavilion Master Sui had already determined that there was a traitor in the True Martial Pavilion. Although he was not sure who it was, as long as he kept a tight watch, he would be able to find some clues.
Moreover, Pavilion Master Sui had made it very clear that this was necessary for better development in the future. Basically, all the disciples expressed their approval.
After settling this matter, Pavilion Master Sui gathered a few more disciples. They were the group of people led by Huang Liang in the Pill Refining Hall. When Pavilion Master Sui read out their names one by one, they were so scared that they almost peed their pants.
Originally, they thought that the True Martial Pavilion was immersed in a joyous atmosphere and had forgotten about the previous matter. Who would have thought that Pavilion Master Sui would remember it so clearly? Moreover, he also knew who was involved in it.
When these people arrived at the Pill Refining Hall, I was busy. The True Martial Pavilion's background was not small. The Pill Refining Hall had almost all the materials that one needed. However, there were some types of materials that were not sufficient. Unless they were extremely rare treasures of heaven and earth, they could be found anywhere.
This made me full of motivation as I tried one by one. Even though I had received the Medicine King's inheritance, I also had alchemy methods, including some alchemy recipes that were similar to medicine recipes. However, after searching in my mind, I discovered that the ingredients required for those dozens of recipes were almost all rare heavenly treasures. Even though the effects of the finished products were amazing, the True Martial Pavilion's Pill Linking Hall did not have the conditions for me to show off my skills.
Thus, I could only forge the pills according to the formula provided by Pavilion Master Feng. Other than the most basic Spirit Concentration Pill, there are dozens of common pills on the market. Some of them are of little value, and the difficulty of forging them is relatively low.
By the time they arrived, I had already concocted quite a few furnaces, and each time, there would be a third-grade spirit pill. This made Hall Master Feng prostrate himself before me in admiration, calling me an alchemist genius. If we were to go by the system of alchemists, I would already be a third-grade alchemist!
What kind of concept was a third-grade alchemist? One had to know that Hall Master Feng had been a child alchemist since he was a teenager. Now that he was almost fifty years old, it could be said that he had persevered for more than thirty years to become a second-grade alchemist. He was quite famous in the underworld, and there were many martial arts aristocratic families from all over the country that paid him a visit, earnestly requesting him to refine pills for them.
In the end, a young man who had just come into contact with the world was able to display a world-shaking alchemy technique. The pointers I gave Hall Master Feng also brought him quite a bit of inspiration. As a result, Hall Master Feng once again returned to his old profession and watched over the fire from the side. While learning, he also assisted me. Moreover, he was enjoying the process.
Even Pavilion Master Sui was a bit dumbfounded when he saw this. However, a bit of suspicion arose in his heart. This kid was a bit too perfect, wasn't he? Later on, there was a need to ask Du Hongchen where this ability of his came from.
Pavilion Master Sui really didn't believe that it was self-taught. There was an eighty to ninety percent chance that he had experienced some sort of fortuitous encounter. For a martial artist, there were some things that could only be chanced upon and not sought for. Pavilion Master Sui didn't envy me at all. As long as I had a heart for the underworld, even if I didn't belong to the True Martial Pavilion, he would still be sincerely happy.
"Xiao Zhuang, when you're done, throw them in," Pavilion Master Sui said while pouting his lips.
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud noise was heard.
"Plop."
One of the disciples knelt down without any hesitation. "Senior Brother Zhuang, don't refine me. I haven't returned for several years, and I'll be able to go back to visit my relatives next year. If I die, my parents will definitely be heartbroken. I beg you, please let me go."
With him taking the lead, the rest of the disciples also knelt down one after another. This made me dumbfounded. Actually, I was wholeheartedly immersed in alchemy and had forgotten about the previous bet. Instead, it was Pavilion Master Sui who took it seriously. This wasn't strange at all. My performance today could be said to be the savior of the True Martial Pavilion. Not only did I turn the tide, but I also saved their face.
"Pavilion Master Sui, forget it. I don't intend to lower myself to their level." I waved my hand. My gaze lingered on Huang Liang for a second or two. He was so scared that he couldn't help but shiver.
I was secretly pleased. Sometimes, displaying a strong method was the best proof. Previously, I had discussed with Grandmaster Chen that we would capture Huang Liang the next time he gave Grandfather Li a pill. At that time, he would be caught red-handed, and he wouldn't be able to refute. Then, we would follow the clues to find out who was trying to control the four major families in the capital. Now that I think about it, there was no need to make things so complicated. This guy had seen my ability with his own eyes, so he shouldn't be so tight-lipped.
Later, I would find a suitable opportunity to torture him. Even if he suffered a loss in silence, Huang Liang wouldn't dare to cause trouble in the True Martial Pavilion.
"Good, good. Xiao Zhuang, it's really rare for you to have such breadth of mind and integrity. What are you all still standing there for? Hurry up and thank him!" Pavilion Master Sui frowned and shouted angrily.
Those disciples were once again grateful to me. This feeling of "rebirth" made them sigh. It wasn't so easy to pretend to be a B * tch. If they weren't careful, they could lose their lives.
"That's right. Xiao Zhuang, you still haven't received the reward for challenging the hall, right?" Pavilion Master Sui suddenly remembered something.
