Chapter 688: Hu Donghe’s Support
Why would Shen Chong want Jing Yan to become the Ten Hall Master?
Perhaps there are multiple reasons, but certainly one very important reason is that Shen Chong himself too wishes that Jing Yan could eliminate the Gai Family.
Shen Chong himself can’t openly deal with the Gai Family for the time being, but he hopes to eradicate them through Jing Yan’s hands.
If Jing Yan lacked the ability to stand on his own, would there still be a need to make him the Ten Hall Master?
If Jing Yan lacked courage, then even if he became the Ten Hall Master, it’s doubtful that the other Hall Masters would sincerely help him.
At today’s Hall Master meeting, Shen Chong may also have been testing Jing Yan.
"Hmph, what does it matter if you’re a High-level Alchemist?"
"In my Third Hall, there are not just one or two High-level Alchemists!" The Third Hall Master said icily with a frosty face, "Do you think being a High-level Alchemist is something to be proud of?"
"Perhaps in your Lanqu County, being a High-level Alchemist is a big deal. But across the entire Heavenly Origin Continent, High-level Alchemists aren’t really anything special! Young man, you should broaden your horizons, and not immerse yourself in your own world all day, as that’s not going to be of any benefit to you." The Third Hall Master directly criticized Jing Yan.
"Ha ha, Third Hall Master, let’s not get angry. Indeed, there are many High-level Alchemists on the Continent, but High-level Alchemists who are in their thirties, there is likely only Jing Yan on the entire Continent. Perhaps it won’t be long before Jing Yan can become a Pill King?" The Eight Hall Master, Min Huo, laughed loudly.
"Jing Yan, do you yourself wish to become the Ten Hall Master now?" Min Huo looked at Jing Yan and asked.
Jing Yan naturally nodded.
