Chapter 261: The Hatred of the Elder
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Alchemy Hall, Elder Cabinet.
Xiao Qingyue descended on her sword and walked in gracefully.
At this moment, in the cabinet, the elder of the Alchemy Hall, Li Qingming, was discussing the poisoning of the water source with a group of deacons who had refined poisonous pills on their own. Everyone was expressing their opinions with a solemn expression.
Seeing that the Sect Master had arrived, they all stood up and greeted her respectfully.
Xiao Qingyue said indifferently, “How’s your research on the poisoning of the water source? Can you develop the antidote by today?”
Elder Li was a little helpless from the question and could only reply, “Sect
Master, we’ll do our best.”
“I don’t want to hear such a perfunctory answer.” Xiao Qingyue didn’t give him any face at all. She directly said coldly in public, “Li Qingming, if you still can’t figure out the antidote by today, you’re to blame.”
“I understand, Sect Master.”
Elder Li replied respectfully, not daring to have any objections.
As an elder of the Alchemy Hall, he usually enjoyed the benefits of the sect. Therefore, in this situation where all the disciples of the sect were poisoned, if he did not handle it well, he would have to bear the responsibility.
After setting a deadline for Elder Li, Xiao Qingyue did not say anything else and turned to leave.
She planned to make a trip to the Law Enforcement Hall to see how the investigation of the poisoning of the water source was going and if there was any progress.
He had just walked out of the Alchemy Hall.
She took out her flying sword and prepared to board.
At this moment, Xiao Qingyue saw Ning Xian’er flying over on her sword.
A moment later, Ning Xian’er quickly landed on the ground.
When she saw Xiao Qingyue, she quickly walked in front of her and said excitedly, “Master, I have good news for you!”
Seeing the excitement on her disciple’s face, Xiao Qingyue vaguely guessed something and asked expectantly, “What good news?”
Ning Xian’er did not speak. Instead, she used a voice transmission technique and sent a voice transmission to Xiao Qingyue face to face.
“Master, the sect is saved. I’ve found a way to detoxify it!”
“Did Deacon Chen tell you?”
“Master’s prediction is godlike!”
“Tell me roughly what happened.”
Xiao Qingyue was very curious and wanted to know how Chen An did it.
Ning Xian’er regarded her master as her biological mother. Since she was young, she had never hidden anything from her. Soon, she told her everything.
Whether it was the principle of the sect disciple being poisoned, what the antidote was, or what Chen An had just said to her in the cave abode, she had told Xiao Qingyue everything.
When Xiao Qingyue heard this, she revealed an incredulous expression. She did not expect Chen An’s alchemy skills to be so strong. He had resolved a problem that even the people of the Alchemy Hall could not solve when they gathered together to discuss.
With such a realm in alchemy, no matter how low Chen An’s cultivation level was, he would still have a bright future.
Not to mention anything else, as long as he could continue to develop in the sect, he would at least be an elder.
“Xian’er, you said that Deacon Chen wants to give this credit to you to help you increase the prestige of the sect and help you become the Sect Master as soon as possible?”
Xiao Qingyue said in disbelief.
Ning Xian’er replied, “It’s true, Master.”
When Xiao Qingyue heard this, she fell into deep thought. She felt that Chen An’s behavior was very abnormal.
Everyone was human, and humans were creatures that pursued benefits.
As a deacon who had just arrived at the Alchemy Hall, why would Chen An give up on taking this credit?
Admiring the Holy Maiden and helping her without asking for anything in return?
‘Was that possible? This was obviously unlikely.’
’He keeps a low profile and does not want to show his face?’
‘Yes, that’s a possibility.’
In just a short moment, Xiao Qingyue’s mind was filled with many thoughts.
She really felt that Chen An’s behavior was very abnormal.
After thinking about it, she finally suggested to Ning Xian’er, “Xian’er, you can’t take this credit for Deacon Chen.”
“Why, Master?”
Ning Xian’er was very puzzled. She could not understand what her master’s actions meant.
Xiao Qingyue patiently explained to her, “Xian’er, you’re the only Holy Maiden in the sect. As long as you don’t make any big mistakes in principle, you’re destined to be the next Sect Master.”
“Under such circumstances, you don’t lack such credit at all. There’s no value in putting it on you.”
“In comparison, you should make good use of Deacon Chen’s development of the antidote. Try your best to promote him and help him become an elder of the Alchemy Hall.”
“This way, you’ll be able to have an elder as your follower in the future. This will be extremely beneficial to you when you become the Sect Master in charge of the Heaven Earth Sect in the future.”
Xiao Qingyue asked, “Xian’er, do you understand?”
“I understand, Master.”
Ning Xian’er answered without thinking. She felt that what her master said made sense.
As the Holy Maiden herself, she was in a dominant position within the Heaven Earth Sect. It was only a matter of time before she became the Sect Master.
In the end, under the suggestion of her master, Xiao Qingyue, Ning Xian’er decided to give all the credit of developing the antidote to Chen An.
This was to help him build momentum and prepare for his future as an elder of the Alchemy Hall.
She did as she was told.
Soon, Ning Xian’er and Xiao Qingyue walked into the public alchemy room of the Alchemy Hall.
She told the Alchemists inside that the Acupoint Sealing Pill could detoxify the poison and asked them to refine it quickly.
Everyone was surprised, and many even doubted that the Acupoint Sealing Pill could detoxify poison.
It was not until a certain Alchemist who was sober in the human world refined a cauldron of Acupoint Sealing Pills according to the Holy Maiden’s request. After experimenting and discovering that it could really detoxify the poison, everyone immediately became happy and began to refine it.
During this period, Ning Xian’er returned all the credit to Chen An and told the Alchemists how powerful Chen An was and how much he had contributed to the Heaven Earth Sect.
When they heard this, most of the Alchemists present felt that it was very unbelievable. Their faces were more or less stunned.
They really did not expect that the problem that even the elders of the Alchemy Hall could not resolve for a long time would be resolved by a new deacon who had just arrived.
It seemed that in a few years, the elders of this Alchemy Hall would probably be changed.
Regarding the change of elders, everyone only said it in their hearts and did not dare to say it out loud.
Even if it was a joke.
After all, the master of the Alchemy Hall, Elder Li, was still living well here. No one dared to offend him.
Not long after, Elder Li, who was studying the antidote with a group of deacons in the cabinet, heard the sound and walked over from the cabinet.
The moment Elder Li appeared, some Alchemists with ulterior motives immediately shouted.
He said that Chen An had resolved this poisoning problem and helped the Heaven Earth Sect tide over this crisis. This was a huge contribution!
He said that he had the aptitude of an elder!
He said that in a few years, he would definitely become an elder of the Alchemy Hall!
When Elder Li heard these words, his expression immediately turned ugly. He had a lot of objections to Chen An.
As a deacon in the Alchemy Hall, Chen An had developed an antidote to resolve this poisoning incident. However, he did not tell this elder. Instead, he ran to inform the Holy Maiden and asked her to come to the Alchemy Hall to create momentum.
What was he trying to do?
Was he trying to snatch the position of elder?
What an ambitious wolf!
Elder Li’s expression was extremely gloomy. He had already completely detest Chen An.
In the blink of an eye, day became night.
As for the poisoning incident in the Heaven Earth Sect, it had basically been resolved by now.
There were not many casualties, but some disciples with low cultivation died.
However, less than a hundred people was still acceptable.
At the same time, in the elder’s cave abode area.
Elder Li took out a voice transmission talisman and contacted the two female elders of the White Lotus Hall and the Joyous Union Hall.
“Elder Yi, Elder Mo, regarding the matter of poisoning the water source, it has already been foiled by a deacon of our Alchemy Hall. If we still want to use the Alchemy Hall to severely injure the Heaven Earth Sect, this person must not be left alive!”
“So, Elder Li wants to kill that deacon?”
“It’s just a small deacon. Elder Li, you can do it yourself. Why bother the two of us?”
Yi Bailian and Mo Zixuan spoke one after another.
There was a risk in killing. They did not want to take the risk. They were worried that their collusion with the Xuanhuang Sect would be exposed and did not want to lose big for small gains.
They had all heard about Chen An’s research on the antidote.
However, this did not affect them. The one who was most affected was Elder Li himself.
This was because Chen An had made a great contribution and obtained the recognition and attention of the Sect Master and the Holy Maiden.
The worst thing was that Chen An’s alchemy skills were still very strong. This had already seriously threatened Elder Li’s position as an elder.
In order to protect his position as an elder and make it easier for him to do things in the future, Elder Li had to get rid of Chen An and eliminate this threat.
“Elder Li, you should think of a way to resolve this matter yourself. I can’t help you even if I want to.”
“Elder Li, I’m the same.”
Yi Bailian and Mo Zixuan said calmly.
Elder Li’s face darkened when he heard this. He threatened in a low voice, “If the two of you don’t deal with him with me, then I can only expose your identities and everyone will die together.”
“Old thing, are you threatening us?”
“You’re just an ant at the first level of the Nascent Soul realm. How dare you threaten the two of us? Are you tired of living?”
“I can’t be bothered to talk nonsense with you. I’ve just set up a voice transmission talisman to be sent to the Sect Master at a time. If you don’t cooperate with me, then we shall all die together. It’s useless for you to kill me to silence me now!”
“You!
H
“Old thing, I curse you to have no descendants!”
Seeing that Elder Li was determined to fight to the death, Yi Bailian and Mo Zixuan were so angry that they opened their mouths to curse, but unfortunately, nothing could be changed.
Now that they were already tied to the same boat, they had no choice but to take action..
