Chapter 1452: Alliance
Old demon Hou’s face was a mixture of green and red after hearing the final announcement. He had thought that he would be able to defeat Yao Lao after their decades long rivalry, but cruel reality taught him that even Yao Lao’s disciple could easily defeat him in terms of medicinal refinement skills...
“Ha ha, congratulations, old Yao.” Xuan Kong Zi cupped his hands together and smiled as he congratulated Yao Lao.
“Old fellow, you have taught an incredible disciple. This Xiao Yan has likely already surpassed you, right?”
The smile on Yao Lao’s face stretched from ear to ear as he heard the many congratulations from around him. Xiao Yan’s performance today had made him feel much prouder than if he had personally obtained victory. Once one reached someone of his age, one’s competitive character would weaken. One would feel happier grooming disciples as one passed on all of one’s abilities to them.
Upon seeing one’s disciple obtain such an achievement, one would naturally feel extremely satisfied as the teacher.
“Hmph...”
Old demon Hou felt dejected when he saw Yao Lao’s smiling face. He violently swung his sleeves before turning around to leave.
The First Elder looked at Xiao Yan from the stone stage. His old face revealed a faint smile. Although Xiao Yan was much younger than him, one’s age was not really important within the Central Plains. What was important was one’s strength. Regardless of whether it was in term of Dou Qi or alchemy, Xiao Yan was qualified to be treated as an equal by him.
“Xiao Yan, you will be an Elder of the Small Pill Tower in the future. Both you and Yao Chen should follow me. We need to discuss the matter you brought to us.”
Xiao Yan rejoiced in his heart after hearing the First Elder’s words. He hurriedly cupped his hands together as he nodded. The reason they had come to the Small Pill Tower was because of the alliance. If not for the crucial vote, he would not have been interested in competing with these old people.
The First Elder turned around and slowly walked down the stone stage after uttering his words. The few Elders behind him followed.
