The disciples of the dicine Sect were all staring blankly at this scene.
"Elder Xie... is dead?"
Qin Xiu, the Great Elder, and the Second Elder also arrived at the square at this ti, and when they saw Xie Guangyun’s head had been pierced through, their gazes filled with disbelief as he collapsed on the ground, they all frowned.
Qin Xiu was a white-haired elder who appeared to have the air of an immortal about him; upon hearing from the ssenger disciple that an outsider at the Pill Refinent Competition had concocted a supre Clear Spirit Pill, he was extrely shocked and imdiately concluded that this person was a top-level Alchemist.
The Great Elder and the Second Elder also knew well what it ant to be able to concoct a supre Clear Spirit Pill, especially since this person was only in his twenties, which left them astounded.
However, when they heard that this person had killed Xie Bi, enraging Elder Xie, the three of them all changed their expressions and hurriedly made their way over here.
They were all aware of Xie Guangyun’s temperant and had thought that this Alchemy prodigy would et his end at Xie Guangyun’s hands. Yet, upon their arrival, they found instead that it was Xie Guangyun who had died at Chen Fan’s hands, which was truly baffling.
Chen Fan turned to look at Qin Xiu and the others, and said indifferently, "Years ago, Xie Guangyun bullied others by exploiting his power and snatched away Yang Wanli’s ancestral Jade Pendant. Today, he agreed that if I won first place in the Pill Refinent Competition, he would return the pendant. However, he went back on his word. His grandson coveted Yang Wanli’s granddaughter’s beauty, intending to seize her. Thus, he t his death at my hands. Xie Guangyun, seeking revenge for his grandson, attacked , and I, to eliminate future troubles, ended his life."
"That is the sequence of events. If the dicine Sect wishes to seek revenge for him, you may take action now."
Having said this, he suddenly released a series of sharp auras from his body.
At that mont, Qin Yiyi ran over and stood in front of Chen Fan, looking solemnly at Qin Xiu and said, "Grandfather, this is not his fault. Everything was brought upon by Elder Xie himself!"
Chen Fan raised his eyebrows, not expecting her to stand up for him.
Qin Xiu looked at Chen Fan with a complex expression. In the aura released by the young man, he sensed a trace of danger. This person’s strength, he feared, was no less than his own.
He then looked at Qin Yiyi and couldn’t help but smile wryly to himself, thinking that this person’s strength was stronger than mine. Even if you did not plead on his behalf, I wouldn’t dare to rashly offend such a powerhouse.
He slowly began to speak, "The dicine Sect is not an unreasonable place. Indeed, Xie Guangyun was at fault first. Even though he was one of our Elder Xies, we will not ignore his wrongdoing to cause you trouble. Over the years, he has been rampant and oppressive within the Sect. Colliding with you this ti, he got what he deserved."
"If it’s possible, let’s sit down and have a peaceful talk, shall we?"
Hearing this, Chen Fan thought to himself that this Sect Leader was indeed a reasonable person, then he nodded, "That is possible."
Yang Wanli and Yang Tianzhen, seeing Qin Xiu not making things difficult for Chen Fan, both breathed a sigh of relief.
Yang Tianzhen whispered, "Although Xie Guangyun was detestable, he was still an Elder of the dicine Sect. Chen Fan killed him, and yet the Sect Leader is being so polite. It seems that the dicine Sect is not as formidable as we imagined."
Yang Wanli smiled and stroked his beard, saying, "It is not that the dicine Sect is not formidable, but rather that Chen Fan is too terrifying, so much so that even the Sect Leader of the dicine Sect must treat him with great courtesy. Bringing Chen Fan along with us this ti was indeed a wise decision."
...
In the great hall where the dicine Sect received guests.
Chen Fan, Yang Wanli, and Yang Tianzhen were all seated in Taishi Chairs, savoring the fine tea that Qin Xiu had ordered to be served.
Qin Xiu and the Great Elder sat opposite to them, with Qin Yiyi standing by Qin Xiu’s side, responsible for serving tea and pouring water.
The group had already recounted the grudge between Yang Wanli and Xie Guangyun in detail, including Wang Tong intentionally making them sleep in the wilderness and Xie Bi leading Wang Tong to hijack soone.
After listening, Qin Xiu expressed that it was all Xie Guangyun’s and Xie Bi’s own fault. They had been throwing their weight around in the sect, bullying disciples, and many in the dicine Sect had long held a big grudge against them. Qin Xiu had wanted to deal with the two of them for a while to rectify the sect’s atmosphere; however, he had never had a proper opportunity. This ti, Chen Fan had indeed helped the dicine Sect by removing two troubles.
Of course, he was exaggerating a bit. Although Qin Xiu was displeased with Xie Guangyun and Xie Bi’s conduct, Xie Guangyun was after all a seventh-layer expert of the Transformation Realm and an important combat force for the sect. Even if Xie Guangyun displayed bad behavior, Qin Xiu wouldn’t easily kick him out of the sect.
But now that Xie Guangyun was dead, and the deed was done, Qin Xiu didn’t want to offend Chen Fan, and even wanted to befriend him, so he had no choice but to say so.
The others did not waste too much ti on the matter of Xie Guangyun. After Qin Xiu made his stance clear, he steered the conversation toward pill refinent.
"Chen Fan, my young friend, you can refine top-quality Clear Spirit Pills. Your level of pill refinent has indeed reached a pinnacle. I wonder, what is the highest level of elixir you can nowadays refine? Have you ever refined a first-grade elixir?" Qin Xiu asked.
As the leader of the dicine Sect, his pill refinent skill was the highest within the entire sect, but even he could refine only a few types of first-grade elixirs.
Chen Fan thought for a mont and said, "I’m not sure how you define first-grade elixirs here, but I can show you so elixirs I have refined before."
Qin Xiu’s eyes brightened, "Co, co, co, let us witness what kind of miraculous elixir Chen Fan, my young friend, has refined."
The Great Elder and Second Elder both craned their necks curiously.
Qin Yiyi thought to herself, "This guy’s pill refinent skill is much better than mine, but he probably hasn’t reached the level to refine first-grade elixirs, after all, even Grandpa finds it very difficult to refine first-grade elixirs."
Chen Fan took out the jade bottle containing the Gathering Yuan Pills and handed it to Qin Xiu.
Qin Xiu, curious, opened it, and a rich dicinal fragrance instantly filled the entire room.
Upon slling the fragrance, everyone present felt spiritually revitalized, and their spirits were much refreshed.
Qin Xiu, the Great Elder, and the Second Elder all stood up swiftly, their faces instantly filled with disbelief.
"Quick, pour out one pill for us to see. Just this fragrance alone has such an effect; this elixir is definitely not simple!" the Great Elder said sowhat anxiously.
Imdiately, Qin Xiu poured out a Gathering Yuan Pill, and the three of them observed it with utmost detail.
Soon, Qin Xiu beca excited and exclaid, "Divine pill! This is a divine pill above the first grade!"
The Great Elder and the Second Elder both had a look of stupor in their eyes, gazing at the elixir in Qin Xiu’s hands as if entranced.
Yang Wanli also wore a face of shock, not expecting the elixir Chen Fan had brought out to have surpassed the first grade.
Qin Yiyi again showed a full face of surprise, "A divine pill above the first grade, his... his level of pill refinent has actually reached such a terrifying stage?"
