Chapter 14: It’s Really the Sect Leader

“Where did these pills come from?” interrogated Yao Chen in a stern tone as he stared at Zhou Yun.
Zhou Yun helplessly sighed.
Of course, he was the one who refined the pills!
Who else could it be?
Did the sect have an alchemist who could refine perfect-grade pills?
He had clearly said countless times that he was the one who had refined the pills.
Why did no one believe him?
“Medicine Elder, I was the one who refined the pills!”
Helpless, Zhou Yun could only repeat himself.
However, just as he finished speaking, Yao Chen immediately started cursing.
“Bullsh*t, why don’t you claim that you are my father while you are at it?”
“Alchemy isn’t the same as cultivation. Success doesn’t come overnight!”
“How could you have made these perfect pills?”
“If you can master alchemy just like that, I’ll change my surname to yours!”
Since when was alchemy so simple?
If any random outer sect disciple could succeed in refining pills, even perfect-grade pills, on their first try, then wouldn’t Yao Chen have lived his life in vain for the past few decades?
Yao Chen’s curses reverberated throughout the entire Alchemy Pavilion. The spittle from his mouth sprayed everywhere. Zhou Yun quickly took half a step back to avoid being drenched.
In truth, Yao Chen’s rage was justified. Anyone would find this inconceivable.
This was the first time that Zhou Yun, a puny outer sect disciple, had attempted alchemy. Given that he didn’t know anything, he had actually succeeded.
Furthermore, he had refined perfect-grade pills.
Who would believe such a contrivance?
Su Wanyi was shocked when she heard their conversation.
She never thought that the pills in Zhou Yun’s hands would actually be of the perfect grade.
She did not dare to confirm it at first. However, as an elder of the Alchemy Pavilion, Medicine Elder had personally admitted that this was true.
Right now, she already believed that these pills were refined by Zhou Yun.
After all, she and Qiao’er had witnessed Zhou Yun enter the room.
She looked at the furious Medicine Elder and was worried that things would take a turn for the worse. She couldn’t help but worry about Zhou Yun.
After thinking for a while, she left the pavilion and headed to the mountain where the sect leader was.
In the Alchemy Pavilion, Zhou Yun looked at the furious Yao Chen and took another step back.
“I can’t possibly have a son as old as you,” Zhou Yun grumbled in his heart.
He didn’t dare to say this out loud.
Otherwise, he would probably be killed with a single slap.
As an elder of the Alchemy Pavilion, Yao Chen usually focused all his time and energy on refining pills and did not care much about cultivation.
However, alchemy required frequent trial and error, and each pill he consumed during his experiments was filled with huge amounts of spiritual energy.
The accumulation of spiritual energy from the pills had allowed him to break through to an unfathomable level.
In short, if he wanted to slap Zhou Yun to death, it would probably be as easy as killing an insect.
“Medicine Elder, these pills are indeed concocted by me. The people here can bear witness to it!” Zhou Yun reminded him again.
“Do you think alchemy is like cooking and you can succeed by just adding a little salt?”
“Kid, there is no element of luck in alchemy at all. The complexity involved is something you can’t imagine!”
Yao Chen foamed with rage and glared at him. He almost attacked Zhou Yun. He felt that his profession had been insulted.
“I know it’s complicated, but I really did make it!”
Just as Zhou Yun finished speaking, he felt the world suddenly turn upside down.
He was shocked to find that Yao Chen had lifted him up.
“You must have found these pills in some corner of our sect. We shall find out which master refined them.”
As Yao Chen spoke, one of his hands fumbled around Zhou Yun’s body while his other hand began to shake the latter violently.
Zhou Yun could only desperately hold on to his pants to prevent them from falling.
There were already many people gathered around them. If his pants were to fall down at this moment, it would be a huge embarrassment.
An interesting scene played out in the pavilion.
Yao Chen shook Zhou Yun with all his might, while Zhou Yun desperately held onto his pants.
Everyone present was dumbfounded by this scene.
They had never witnessed such a scene in the Alchemy Pavilion.
After all, when they came here to refine pills, they would rarely encounter the elders of the pavilion.
Therefore, they had always imagined the elders to be high and mighty, especially since the latter rarely spoke or smiled.
The elders were always serious and strict, although some of them might have more eccentric personalities.
However, Medicine Elder was now acting like an old man in the mortal world who had something of his stolen.
He had been cursing all this while, but it was not enough to quench his rage now. He started to get physical.
This contrast stunned everyone.
The onlookers were ready to step forward to stop them. After all, the two of them had caused too much of a commotion. Other elders might come over later, which would further escalate things.
Just as the crowd stepped forward, a might suddenly descended from the sky, directly enveloping the entire Alchemy Pavilion.
This might was even stronger than that emanating from Yao Chen. It was so strong that everyone’s bones were creaking and they almost fell to their knees.
“Yao Chen, what’s going on?”
A voice came from afar as an old man appeared.
“This voice, it can’t be!”
“Only the golden core stage sect leader would have this kind of might, right?”
“Stop guessing. It’s indeed the sect leader!”
A cultivator asked, “What’s going on? Why have these two big shots, who rarely appear in public, suddenly shown up here today?”
His friend replied, “You were too focused on the beauties just now. You missed the main event!”
“What were you focusing on then?”
“Of course, I was looking at the pills!”
“What color are the pills?”
“Erm…white?”
“Tsk! Why is the sect leader here?”
Another cultivator interrupted their conversation, saying, “Cut that out. Lower your voice!”
Hushed conversations could be heard everywhere.
The old man was floating in the air. With his white hair and a white beard, he looked like a sage.
This old man was the current sect leader of Spirit Valley, Ling Qingyun.
After Ling Qingyun arrived, the entire place immediately calmed down.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and raised their heads to look at him.
Only Yao Chen was still busy carrying Zhou Yun.
Zhou Yun quickly greeted the sect leader when he saw him.
“Greetings, Sect Leader!”
“Hehe, kid, you’re still trying this trick on me? I stopped playing these little tricks hundreds of years ago. Now, let alone the sect leader, even if my father comes, I won’t let go of you!”
Yao Chen laughed in disdain, thinking that Zhou Yun was playing a trick on him.
The sect leader wouldn’t come over to the Alchemy Pavilion for no reason. This kid actually used the sect leader to try to scare him. He was brazen.
Ling Qingyun’s face darkened when he heard Yao Chen’s words. With a wave of his sleeve, he separated the two of them.
After the two of them were pulled apart, Yao Chen finally saw Ling Qingyun, and his eyes widened in disbelief.
“It’s really the sect leader!”
Ling Qingyun carefully observed Zhou Yun.
Su Wanyi had already told him the whole story.
He was also a little shocked. Could such an outer sect disciple actually refine perfect-grade pills?
However, he still trusted Su Wanyi, the eldest senior sister of the inner sect.
That’s why he came over to take a look.
Ling Qingyun stared at Zhou Yun until the latter felt goosebumps all over his body.
Only then did Ling Qingyun say, “Won’t we know the truth if he manages to refine some more pills?”
