Chapter 225: Chapter 225 True Dragon Assessment
Wang Yao’s face couldn’t have been more awkward, for she had just said there was not a single portion available.
Yet, in the blink of an eye, the disciples of Medicine Peak had taken out ten portions for Huang Xin.
Yang Xiaotian stared coldly at Wang Yao.
Trying to maintain her composure with a normal expression, Wang Yao said, “Yang Xiaotian, let me tell you the truth, there are indeed medicinal materials for the Supreme Pure Jade Elixir Pill, and plenty of them, but you can forget about taking even a single piece of them from our Medicine Peak!”
“The medicinal materials of our Medicine Peak will not be given to you, not to anyone!”
Yang Xiaotian’s expression remained cold, “Is this your personal sentiment, or is it the opinion of the master of Medicine Peak?”
Wang Yao took a deep breath, “This is my sentiment, as well as my master’s, and also that of all the disciples from the entire Medicine Peak!”
Just then, a commanding voice rang out, “Indeed, this is the sentiment of our entire Medicine Peak.”
A tall figure flew in from the distance.
“Master!” Seeing the newcomer, Wang Yao’s face lit up with joy as she went to greet him.
The person who arrived was none other than the master of Medicine Peak, Tang Mu.
“Senior Brother Tang.” Huang Xin did not dare to act carelessly and stepped forward to greet him.
Tang Mu nodded and landed in front of the crowd, looking at Yang Xiaotian coldly, “Yang Xiaotian, let me tell you the truth, there is no way you are getting any medicinal materials from Medicine Peak today!”
“Not just today, it will be impossible in the future as well!”
Tang Mu stated this in a categorical manner.
“Is that so.” Yang Xiaotian, however, became calm,
“Yang Xiaotian, don’t think that just because you have an Emperor Realm Flood Dragon, you can do whatever you want in the True Dragon Divine Sect,” Tang Mu said coldly, “I will capture you now and then kill that Emperor Realm Flood Dragon of yours!”
As he spoke, his aura surged, clearly at the peak of the Emperor Realm.
Moreover, flames swirled around Tang Mu’s body, and two Abnormal Fires flew out.
Just as Tang Mu was about to make his move, suddenly, a large group of figures tore through the sky and approached.
Seeing this large group, Tang Mu’s face changed, and he hastily stopped, going up with Wang Yao, Huang Xin, and all the present disciples of Medicine Peak to meet them.
“Tang Mu pays his respects to the Sect Master!”
“We pay our respects to the Sect Master!”
Wang Yao, Huang Xin, and all the disciples of Medicine Peak bowed in salutation.
The newcomers were none other than the Sect Master of the True Dragon Divine Sect, Hu Nan, his wife Liu Ping, and his foremost disciple, Fang Shaoqiang, among others; Hu Yue also followed behind Hu Nan.
Liu Ping glanced at the black flood dragon behind Yang Xiaotian and said to Hu Nan, “I’ve said before that Yang Xiaotian should hand over the Divine Flame and flood dragon, and be watched more closely. If you had listened to me, so many disciples of Medicine Peak wouldn’t have been hurt today!”
Hearing Liu Ping spouting such nonsense again, Hu Nan’s face instantly darkened, and he shouted sternly, “Silence!”
Liu Ping hadn’t expected Hu Nan to reprimand her so harshly in public, and her face looked somewhat ugly.
Turning his head, Hu Nan looked toward Tang Mu, “Tang Mu, if I remember correctly, you’ve been the master of Medicine Peak for seventy-six years, haven’t you?”
Feeling alarmed, Tang Mu stepped forward quickly, “Yes, seventy-six years and three months.” Then he started to explain, “Sect Master, about today’s incident…”
“No need to explain; I already know,” Hu Nan interrupted, his eyes cold, “Tang Mu, I recall giving an order before that Yang Xiaotian was to have access to the medicinal materials of Medicine Peak at his discretion upon joining the Sect.”
Tang Mu attempted to defend himself, “I was just worried that Yang Xiaotian would recklessly take our Medicine Peak’s medicinal materials and use them for profit.”
“I did this for the Sect’s interest as well.”
Hu Nan snorted coldly, “Do you think I don’t know what you’re thinking?”
Tang Mu’s forehead broke out in cold sweat.
“In the future, when Xiaotian comes to Medicine Peak to get medicinal materials, I don’t want to see today’s incident happen again,” Hu Nan spoke.
“Yes, Sect Master,” Tang Mu said, his scalp tingling.
Hu Nan’s gaze fell on Yang Xiaotian, and he said with a smile, “So you’re Ling’er’s brother, Xiaotian, right? Originally, I wanted to visit your mountain peak a few days ago, but these past days have been so busy that it was delayed.”
Yang Xiaotian clasped his fists and said, “I’ve seen the Sect Master.” Then he added, “Thank you, Sect Master.”
Hu Nan waved his hand and laughed, “What’s there to thank me for? I regard Ling’er as my daughter, and since you are her brother, just call me Uncle Hu from now on.”
Then he asked, “The True Dragon Assessment is in a few months, how has your cultivation been these days?”
The True Dragon Assessment is a kind of evaluation for new disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect.
When the time comes, not only You Yi, but also Yang Xiaotian and all other new disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect will have to participate.
Yang Xiaotian said, “Thank you, Sect Master, for your concern. I have been lucky enough to cultivate one Supreme Divine Power to Summit Mastery not long ago.”
Upon hearing this, Hu Nan’s eyes brightened, “Oh? Does that mean you have already cultivated five Supreme Divine Powers to Summit Mastery?” Then he said joyfully, “Good! It’s rare! I’ve long heard that you are a Martial Dao prodigy. Keep up the good work, and strive for a good result in the True Dragon Assessment!”
Then he said with a smile, “The rewards for this True Dragon Assessment are very generous, especially for the first place, who will get to train in the True Dragon Secret Realm.”
“Training in the True Dragon Secret Realm.” Something stirred in Yang Xiaotian’s heart.
He practiced the Primordial Dragon Art, and if he could train in the True Dragon Secret Realm, absorbing the True Dragon Qi there, the benefits were self-evident.
“Yes, training in the True Dragon Secret Realm,” Hu Nan said with a smile.
Then he chatted with Yang Xiaotian for a while before leaving with everyone.
After leaving Medicine Peak, Hu Yue huffed, “Just having cultivated five Supreme Divine Powers to Summit Mastery, what’s there to be proud of? Brother You Yi has cultivated all nine Supreme Divine Powers to Summit Mastery!”
Liu Ping also sneered, “From his look, he seems to want to train in the True Dragon Secret Realm. He’s simply daydreaming. When the time comes, he probably won’t be able to withstand even a single move from You Yi.”
Hu Nan frowned, “Say less!”
Although his wife’s words were unpleasant, he had to admit that, from the current situation, Yang Xiaotian’s strength was still far inferior to You Yi’s.
You Yi had already condensed six of the Strongest Sword Heart, mastered nine Supreme Divine Powers to Summit Mastery, and was about to condense a top-grade Golden Core. By the time of the True Dragon Assessment, You Yi should be able to condense a top-grade Golden Core already.
By then, Yang Xiaotian might indeed be unable to withstand even one move from You Yi.
Thinking of Yang Xiaotian’s refusal to take Deng Qinghong as his master, Hu Nan felt somewhat troubled.
He truly hoped that Yang Xiaotian would become Deng Qinghong’s disciple, as Deng Qinghong was the ancestor with the highest level of Alchemy in the True Dragon Divine Sect.
Logically speaking, Yang Xiaotian should have been delighted to be accepted as a disciple by Deng Qinghong, and Hu Nan couldn’t understand why Yang Xiaotian had refused.
After Hu Nan and the others left, Medicine Peak’s master Tang Mu had no choice but to dutifully retrieve the medicinal materials and hand them over to Yang Xiaotian.
Yang Xiaotian took the materials and soared away.
Watching Yang Xiaotian leave, Tang Mu’s expression was dark and turbid.
“Master, this is too unfair. Why should Yang Xiaotian, a mere new disciple, be allowed to freely use the medicinal materials from our Medicine Peak!” Wang Yao still felt indignant and said angrily.
Tang Mu said sinisterly, “Don’t worry, his arrogance won’t last much longer. The True Dragon Assessment is coming soon, and I’ll make sure he loses all face during the assessment.”
