Following closely behind Perfected Lord Red Dust were Dongfang Ming and the middle-aged Daoist with a goatee. They were probably the remaining beginner Grade 3 Elixir Refinement Master in Elixir Treasure Hall, Perfected Fire Surpassing.
"Greetings, Hall Master Red Dust!"
Ma Zhen, Chen Fan and the other disciples of Bixia Peak heaved a sigh of relief when they saw Perfected Lord Red Dust and bowed respectfully.
"What happened?"
Dao Lord Red Dust looked at Perfected Lord Red Dust and Ziyue. One of them was the candidate for the next Hall Master of Elixir Treasure Hall while the other was a genius Elixir Refinement Master who played an important role in the revival of Elixir Treasure Hall. The fight between the two of them gave him a headache.
"It's a long story."
Ziyue said and gestured slightly.
With a bitter face, Ma Zhen hurriedly took a step forward and recounted the entire matter.
Seducing the disciples of Fiery Spirit Peak, forcing them to record the Kunlun Pill Manual and killing them …
These incidents immediately caused Dao Lord Red Dust's expression to turn extremely ugly.
On the other side, Steward Wang Wei was also filled with regret at this moment. When he thought of the consequences he might have to face later, his legs gave way and he fell to the ground.
"Elixir Lord, you're really getting worse and worse."
Perfected Lord Red Dust shouted angrily.
But Daoist Danjun was equally shocked and furious. He looked at the three Fiery Spirit Peak disciples not far away, who had obviously suffered mental trauma, and Wang Wei who had collapsed on the ground. With a gloomy face, he said, "Senior Martial Brother, this matter is the fault of my Bixia Peak. I admit it.
However, I don't know what happened at all.
Although I'm interested in Elder White's Kunlun Pill Manual, given my status, what kind of elixir refinement techniques can't I get?
Furthermore, Elder White's Pill Manual is only useful for Grade 1 and Grade 2 Elixir Refinement Masters. It's not that useful to me. Why would I deliberately target a few low-level disciples? "
Because Ziyue only took out the first half of the Kunlun Pill Manual that pointed to advanced Grade 2 Elixir Refinement Masters, apart from Ziyue and Dao Lord Red Dust, no one knew that the entire Pill Manual pointed to advanced Grade 3 Elixir Refinement Masters and was extremely valuable.
At the very least, Perfected Monarch Red Dust had gained a lot from his research.
He often sighed and thought that if he could get his hands on this Pill Canon earlier, he would definitely be able to become a Fourth Grade Alchemist a hundred years earlier.
Perfected Being Elixir Lord paid attention to Perfected Lord Dan Chen's expression. When he saw that the latter was confused, he hardened his heart and hollered, "Rascal, kneel down!"
Suddenly, Wang Jingchen, who had been lowering his head and sweating profusely, trembled, but he did not move.
He knew that things had gotten out of hand. Once he admitted to it, the consequences would be unimaginable. If he resisted, he might still have a chance to turn things around.
After all, the Wang family also had a lot of power in the Pill Treasure Hall.
The news of this incident would definitely reach the ears of the Wang Clan very soon.
"What?
Daring to do it but not daring to admit it?
Or do you want me to use the Law Enforcement Hall's God Questioning Talisman? "
Daoist Danjun said with a cold look in his eyes.
Ziyue frowned, not knowing whether Daoist Danjun was telling the truth or not.
Naturally, his Divine Telekinesis would not be so accurate when sensing people of the same level.
However, from the two encounters he had with Daoist Danjun, he seemed to place more importance on the issue of status. Apart from the Pill Canon of Kunlun, the conditions he mentioned before were all to maintain his higher status.
And this time, whether it was Ma Zhen's tone or Lin Fan's attitude, it might seem to Daoist Danjun that it was an affront to his status and caused such a violent conflict. It was understandable … Bullsh * t.
Since there was already enmity between them, why would he need to think about Daoist Danjun?
Although this matter was not to the extent of being irreconcilable, he would not let Daoist Danjun off easily.
"It's me, it's all my fault. I was blinded by greed and planned to use Fang Han and Zhao Wu to steal the Pill Canon of Kunlun. I'm guilty … I deserve to die …"
Right at this moment, Wang Wei who sat on the ground suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and a trace of resolution flashed in his eyes. After that, he spoke abruptly, and as he spoke, the Origin Energy within his body instantly flowed in reverse and charged fiercely towards his head.
Poof!
Blood spurted out, and he collapsed completely. He was dead.
"Spiritual Energy + 58648."
"What?"
Ziyue's expression also changed, and he hurriedly performed the Minor Spirit Restriction Technique.
However, from the moment he discovered Daoist Danjun's actions to the moment Daoist Danjun's Origin Energy reversed life and death, everything happened too quickly. The speed of his Minor Spirit Restriction Technique was not slow, but before his technique landed, Daoist Danjun's aura had already dissipated and he was dead.
"Hmm?"
Daoist Danchen reacted almost at the same time as Ziyue, but he was one step slower. A trace of shock and anger flashed in his eyes.
It was really too difficult for an immortal spell cultivator, especially an enlightened cultivator below the God Realm, to escape with his life in front of a Golden Core Perfected Cultivator. It was almost impossible.
However, if Daoist Danjun was determined to die and ended his own life, it would be difficult to really stop him if he did not take precautions in advance.
A trace of shock involuntarily appeared on everyone's faces.
They never thought that Wang Wei would be so decisive to end his own life.
Wang Jingchen's eyes were also filled with shock, but he could not help but secretly heave a sigh of relief.
It seemed like he was safe?
"How foolish. Did he think he could escape punishment just because he was dead?
Didn't he know that a person has a soul after death? Only when the soul is destroyed is true nirvana.
Go, ask Elder Xue of the Enforcement Hall to come over and use the Soul Assimilation Technique to summon his soul. We must get to the bottom of this. "
Daoist Danchen was able to become the Palace Lord of the Treasure Pill Hall. How could he be a simple person who only knew how to refine pills?
As he spoke, he looked faintly at Wang Jingchen and continued, "It seems that I haven't been in charge for a long time, and a scheming person like Wang Wei has appeared in the Treasure Pill Hall.
I remember that Wang Wei came from the Wang Family of Imperial Xincheng?
Back then, Master pitied the Wang Family's patriarch for dying from serious injuries while protecting a Grade-4 spiritual ingredient, the Seven Heart Lotus Flower.
I didn't expect him to be so arrogant now that he has grown so big.
Looks like we'll have to replace him. "
Wang Jingchen's expression changed drastically.
Elder Wang Chen of the Wang Family, who had just heard the news and rushed over, happened to hear Hall Master Dan Chen's voice. He couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. He looked at Wang Jingchen with bloodshot eyes and roared, "Unfilial son, admit your wrongs.
Do you want our Wang Family to decline completely? "
"Second Uncle, I … I don't want to die. I still have a bright future ahead of me. I'm very talented … I'll definitely become a Grade-3 Pill Master in the future, and even have a chance to become the Palace Lord of the Treasure Pill Hall. I don't want to die …"
Wang Jingchen screamed in panic. Then, as if he had thought of something, he turned to Immortal Dan Jun and shouted, "Master, Master, save me … As long as you can save me, I will do it for the sake of serving you since I was a child …"
"Sigh, silly boy. If you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?"
Daoist Danchen sighed and stroked Wang Jingchen's head. Then, when Wang Jingchen relaxed slightly, he squeezed hard.
… …
In the hall of Fiery Spirit Peak.
"Elder Bai, you've thoroughly offended Daoist Danchen this time."
Dongfang Ming looked at Ziyue and said with a wry smile, "You've forced him to kill his own disciple. Although he deserved it, from what I know of Daoist Danchen, he'll definitely hold a grudge against you for everything.
He's always been petty.
And greedy by nature.
I once refused to hand over all the elixirs I refined to him. Now, thirty years have passed, but I'm still being targeted everywhere. Whenever I want to refine a certain elixir, it'll take me at least twice as long to collect the materials as Daoist Firecrossing. "
Ziyue nodded, but his face was very calm. He said softly, "Tell me, what do you think Daoist Danchen cares about the most?"
"Of course it's the identity of the next Palace Lord."
Dongfang Ming blurted out. Then, he looked at Ziyue in shock and asked, "You're going to compete for the position of Palace Lord?"
"Why not?
Since I'm restrained everywhere, I might as well get it done once and for all.
I don't want to waste too much time on him. "
Bai Ziyue said with a calm expression.
"With Elder Bai's ability as a Grade-3 Pill Master, he's definitely qualified to compete for the position.
But.
It's very difficult. It's almost impossible.
You might not know this, but Daoist Dan Jun isn't just a mid-tier third-grade alchemist. He's also the only son of the previous Hallmaster, True Lord Dan Jue, and the junior brother of our current Hallmaster, Hallmaster Dan Chen.
That's why he's able to monopolize two of the seven herb gardens in the Pellet Palace. "
"That's why I said it's very difficult.
Although Elder Bai's alchemy skills are good, he's not as good as Daoist Danchen in terms of resources, background, or connections.
Furthermore, Palace Master Dan Chen won't easily take away the proof of identity because of the previous Palace Master's master-disciple relationship. "
Dongfang Ming said helplessly.
"What if I'm a Grade-4 Pill Master?"
Ziyue said lightly.
"What?"
Dongfang Ming stood up and looked at Ziyue in shock. He said, "You … you're already a Grade-4 Pill Master?"
His expression quickly became extremely respectful.
"Not yet, but I think it's going to happen soon."
Ziyue said calmly as he looked at the Nine Qis to One Elixir Refinement Method on the Attribute Panel again.
"If you can become a Grade Four Alchemist, not to mention the position of the next Hall Master, Hall Master Dan Chen might even be eager to abdicate his position and officially hand it over to you.
After all, he doesn't have much time left. "
Dongfang Ming suddenly changed his tone and said telepathically.
"Is that so?"
Ziyue smiled. He didn't really care.
Even if Daoist Danchen didn't have much time left, he still had a few decades to live.
However, he was confident that in the next few decades, his strength would definitely rise to an extremely high level. At that time, whether or not he would stay in the Qing Xu Sect was still unknown.
He wanted to become the next Palace Lord because he didn't want Daoist Danchen's matter to affect his alchemy and earning of Spirit Stones and merit points.
