Chapter 73 Enemies on a Narrow Road
"Hehe, Sister Mo Qing, it seems that the Great Elder really values this selection of Outer Disciples, to have even sent you here!"
Yin Huan managed to squeeze out a smile that he thought was amiable on his face, but if one listened carefully, one could detect a hint of sourness in his tone.
It turns out that this black-clad girl with a beautiful appearance but an icy countenance is Mo Qing, the Direct Disciple of the current Great Elder of the Jade Pot Sect, who was also the one who burst into the Poison Hall after Yun Xiao was bitten by the Seven-Colored Immortal Spider.
The Jade Pot Sect has both the poison and medicine branches coexisting, and while they don’t come to blows, their differing ideologies mean they can hardly work seamlessly together. The occasional squabbles are left unchecked by the Sect Leader as long as they don’t escalate into serious issues.
Because Mo Qing’s teacher is the Great Elder of the Jade Pot Sect, it always made Fu Du feel that his Poison Doctor branch was one step below, which is why he was so eager to elevate his Meridian Poisoning Technique to the Spiritual Rank Intermediate, to be on even footing with the Medical Pulse.
Don’t be fooled by Mo Qing’s similar age to Yin Huan, nor is she the eldest disciple of the Great Elder of the Jade Pot Sect, but her Meridian Qi Cultivation is the finest in the Medical Pulse, which annoyed Fu Du quite a bit.
Even if Fu Du’s eldest disciple could stand on equal footing with Mo Qing, at least the current Yin Huan was not qualified. Therefore, although he was somewhat resentful of Mo Qing’s arrogance in his heart, he dared not show it outwardly for fear of displeasing her and suffering a beating for nothing.
Typically speaking, the examination for selecting Outer Disciples of the Jade Pot Sect wouldn’t see the presence of the Elders of the poison and medicine branches, not even the top talents among their respective disciples would pay too much attention. After all, these newly recruited Outer Disciples were far from comparable to them in Cultivation.
But Yin Huan hadn’t expected that Mo Qing would personally come this time. Her status amongst the young generation of the Medical Pulse was quite prestigious, which made him lose some confidence in the instructions from his teacher, Fu Du.
Every recruitment of Outer Disciples into the Jade Pot Sect is an important part of injecting fresh blood into the Sect, and a majority of the Inner Sect Disciples also rose from the ranks of the Outer Disciples.
