Chapter 406: Celebrate!
Meanwhile, the members of the Medicine Pavilion were discussing the Minor Rejuvenation Pills.
"I never expected that among the new disciples, there would be someone who knows how to refine Elixir Pills, and with such high purity too!"
"Everyone’s been saying this batch of new disciples is incredibly talented. I didn’t believe it at first, but after observing these past few days, my eyes have truly been opened."
"To be able to refine Elixir Pills of such high purity is a testament to his formidable alchemy skills. Even within our Medicine Pavilion, he would be considered exceptionally outstanding."
The people present were abuzz with discussion, all astonished by Long Chen’s superb Alchemy Technique. No one had imagined that someone as young as Long Chen could possess such skill.
"The Pavilion Master has arrived!" a man suddenly called out amidst their discussion.
Upon hearing this, the entire scene fell silent. All eyes turned in the same direction.
They saw a man with one hand clasped behind his back, the other fiddling with two round spheres. He looked refreshed and carried an extraordinary, dignified air.
He was the Pavilion Master of the Medicine Pavilion, Wang Pingchuan.
The main reason he had become the Pavilion Master was that his prowess in Alchemy was the highest among all the disciples of the Jinglei Sect. Furthermore, he was also the final, closed-door disciple of Lei Changshan. In both the Martial Path and the Alchemy Dao, he ranked among the very top of the Jinglei Sect’s disciples.
In plain terms, he was one of the Heaven’s Chosen.
"Pavilion Master!" those present called out respectfully upon seeing him.
Wang Pingchuan nodded slightly. Under everyone’s gaze, he walked to the main seat and slowly sat down. A disciple immediately offered him a cup of tea.
Wang Pingchuan took the teacup and took a gentle sip.
The people present looked at each other, none daring to make a sound.
Wang Pingchuan slowly placed the teacup on the table and looked up at them. "Didn’t you all have a lot to say just now? Why have you all gone mute the moment I arrive?"
The room was silent for a few seconds.
Then, a man approached Wang Pingchuan and reported, "Pavilion Master, we received news today that the newcomer named Long Chen refined a batch of high-purity Elixir Pills. They have already attracted many people to purchase them."
"This is one of the pills I had someone buy. Please have a look, Pavilion Master." With that, the man handed the Elixir Pill to Wang Pingchuan.
Wang Pingchuan took the pill and examined it carefully.
The man hastily added, "Rest assured, Pavilion Master. We will find a way to suppress him and prevent his Elixir Pills from affecting our Medicine Pavilion in any way."
Hearing this, the others chimed in, "That’s right!"
"We’ll find a way to stop him!"
"The status of our Medicine Pavilion will not be challenged by anyone!"
Wang Pingchuan suddenly smiled, a look of immense surprise and delight spreading across his face.
"Interesting," he murmured. "It seems a true talent in Alchemy has appeared in our Jinglei Sect this time. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen someone who dared to challenge two of the Sect’s major organizations right after joining."
Upon hearing this, the others showed looks of astonishment. They exchanged glances, somewhat baffled.
What’s going on? The Pavilion Master isn’t angry? By all rights, he should be!
At that moment, a man finally spoke up. "Pavilion Master, you seem quite cheerful. Shouldn’t you be angry?"
Hearing this, Wang Pingchuan smiled faintly. "Why should I be angry about meeting someone with such exceptional talent in Alchemy?"
The man continued, "Then, Pavilion Master, what are you suggesting?"
"Just think about it. If our Medicine Pavilion could recruit such a talented alchemist, it would be like adding wings to a tiger. At that point, our Medicine Pavilion would have a great chance of becoming the leader of the three major organizations. Don’t you agree?"
After hearing Wang Pingchuan’s words, a sharp gleam flashed through everyone’s eyes.
They clapped their hands in agreement. "The Pavilion Master has a point!"
"So, what should we do next?"
"What should you do?" Wang Pingchuan shook his head with a smile. "Find every possible way to recruit him. We must get him to join our organization."
At this, Wang Pingchuan turned to one man and said, "Zheng Kai, I’ll leave this matter to you and your people."
"Remember, you must succeed. Failure is not an option!"
"Understood!" Zheng Kai nodded. "I’ll take my men to handle it right away!"
「Meanwhile.」
Long Chen had already exchanged his Elixir Pills for a large quantity of resources.
Qi Yuanchen and the others were thrilled. Seeing the abundance of resources they had acquired, everyone looked greatly relieved. With this, they could finally escape the oppression of the Baiyue Sect, the Medicine Pavilion, and Panshi. The Baiyue Sect, in particular, had been utterly ruthless over the past few days, intending to wipe them out and leave them with no escape.
Now, with the Elixir Pills refined by Long Chen, the situation had been completely turned around. They no longer had to be so passive or be forced into a dead end.
"Brother Long! You are our god!"
"We owe this all to you! If you hadn’t come up with this strategy, we really would have been bullied to death by those people."
"This comeback was absolutely exhilarating!" Qi Yuanchen said excitedly, then raised a cup of wine. "I raise this cup to you!"
GULP!
As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Yuanchen downed the wine in his cup. The others followed suit, pouring themselves cups and toasting Long Chen.
Seeing the immense respect everyone showed Long Chen, Long Xin’s pretty face lit up with a smile.
"This is the result of all of us working together," Long Chen said humbly, returning the toast.
The atmosphere was harmonious and united.
Just then, Zhang Cangsong appeared before them, a broad smile plastered across his face.
"Congratulations! Congratulations! This is truly a cause for celebration! How could such an important party be complete without me?" Zhang Cangsong said as he pushed through the crowd toward Long Chen.
Upon seeing him, everyone’s brows furrowed involuntarily, and they glared at him with hostility. Ever since they had seen Zhang Cangsong’s true colors, no one gave him the time of day.
Qi Yuanchen frowned and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing here?"
"Hm? What am I doing here?" Zhang Cangsong retorted. "No matter what, I’m still a member of this group, aren’t I? Now that there’s something to celebrate, I naturally want to be part of it. Is there a problem?"
