Chapter 722: The Convention Begins
In the Alchemy Dao, Gui Yang was undoubtedly a colossus on the Heavenly Origin Continent.
If Gui Yang were to visit Jing Yan, could Jing Yan afford not to see him? Whether Jing Yan wanted to see him or not, he had to meet him.
Moreover, if Gui Yang’s visit was well-intentioned, Jing Yan would also be happy to meet him.
If Gui Yang truly desired the Longevity Pill, Jing Yan would be more than willing to use the Longevity Pill to forge a good relationship with a giant of the Alchemy Dao like Gui Yang.
But now, Gui Yang hadn’t come to visit Jing Yan’s residence. Instead, he had registered to participate in the Pill Discussion Conference. The implication of this move was difficult to assess. Jing Yan didn’t believe that Gui Yang, who hadn’t shown himself for hundreds of years, suddenly appeared to participate in the Pill Discussion Conference just to hear him talk about alchemy.
The words of the Seventh Hall Master made everyone ponder.
"Those who come have no good intentions," Hu Donghe said with a grave tone.
"Jing Yan, what do you think? According to the rules of our Pill Discussion Conference, we have the right to reject Guiyang Great Pill King’s registration since he came after the deadline," Hu Donghe asked Jing Yan.
"We could use the rules to prevent Gui Yang from participating in the Pill Discussion Conference. But once we do that, I’m afraid we will become a target for attacks. Some forces with ulterior motives are probably waiting for us to do just that. They would then take the opportunity to attack me," Jing Yan said with a cold laugh.
Hu Donghe also laughed. He had naturally come to the same conclusion. Gui Yang’s followers were definitely numerous. Having presided over Pill Country for a thousand years, just how many people must have benefited from Gui Yang? If Jing Yan refused Gui Yang’s registration and the news spread, those followers would surely want to swallow Jing Yan alive.
"Yan Clan Chief, please return to the Splendid Dojo now and agree to register Guiyang Great Pill King for the Pill Discussion Conference," Jing Yan said to the Yan Family Patriarch.
"Yes! I will go and do it now!" the Yan Family Patriarch replied, then left.
