Myriad Daos of the Heaven

Chapter 334: Chapter 332: This... Isn’t What I Imagined

Three beings on par with Elder Yao!

The people around them sucked in a sharp breath, but some of the instructors recognized the three men.

Dao Xuan, the Pavilion Master of the Daoist Skill System; Zhuge Jian, the Pavilion Master of the Array System; and Ouyang Qi, the Pavilion Master of the Artifact Refining System!

Three such terrifyingly important figures had suddenly appeared in the Medicinal Garden of the Pharmacist System.

The legs of everyone present trembled, and their hearts quaked with fear.

Just then, the Pavilion Master of the Array System, Zhuge Jian, suddenly gave a light flick of his sleeve toward the crowd.

In an instant, arrays fell like raindrops, landing precisely on every single person in the Medicinal Garden.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH...!

One by one, figures vanished from their spots, teleported away by the descending arrays.

The next moment, the entire Medicinal Garden was empty, save for Jiang Jichen, Elder Yao, the three Pavilion Masters, and Tian Chuan.

Jiang Jichen watched the Array System Pavilion Master’s technique, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

Forming arrays with a wave of his sleeve, like falling rain, teleporting away over a thousand people in the span of a hand gesture. Such a method was... astonishing!

However, Elder Yao’s face was dark. He sneered, "Zhuge the Despicable, you’re still as flashy and shameless as ever. You pull these stunts every time you show up. If you’re not sick of it, I am. If you have something to say, spit it out. I’m busy and can’t be bothered with you lot!"

Zhuge Jian, the Pavilion Master of the Array System, who had just been wearing a proud expression, turned instantly grim upon hearing Elder Yao’s words!

Listening from the side, Jiang Jichen nearly burst out laughing.

He couldn’t help but admire Elder Yao. The man’s poisonous tongue was unrivaled; his opening words alone were enough to choke someone to death.

’I still have a lot to learn in that department!’

By now, Zhuge Jian was too furious to speak. It was the Pavilion Master of the Artifact Refining System, Ouyang Qi, who spoke up. "Elder Yao, this matter has gone too far. It’s time for it to end!"

Dao Xuan, the Pavilion Master of the Daoist Skill System, also added, "Indeed. Since it was all a misunderstanding, and Lingchen has already crippled Lei Yang and killed Elder Liu, let’s let the matter drop. This is also the sentiment of Old Ancestor Nangong Que from the Heavenly Sword Holy Land!"

The Daoist System Pavilion Master even tacked that on at the end!

Though it wasn’t stated outright, even Jiang Jichen could hear the threat in those words.

’But what kind of place is the Heavenly Sword Holy Land?’

’And who in the world is Old Ancestor Nangong Que?’

Jiang Jichen, of course, had no idea, but he could feel the flash of anger that crossed Elder Yao’s heart in that instant.

But soon, Elder Yao’s expression became calm once more.

He gave a cold laugh. "You lot must be bored out of your minds to be meddling in my Medicine Pavilion’s affairs. Heh heh... Maybe one day when I, Elder Yao, am feeling free and bored, I’ll go meddle in your Pavilions’ affairs. Still, this matter can indeed end here. You little thing, Tian Chuan, even with the Lei Family’s help, if you want to replace me as Pavilion Master, you’ll have to figure out how to kill me first. Heh heh... I was originally planning on crippling you today!"

Elder Yao’s final sentence made the faces of the three Pavilion Masters change.

As for Tian Chuan, cold sweat dripped down his back, and boundless fear filled his heart.

They all knew that Elder Yao was not joking.

Only he would dare to so casually say he was... going to cripple a Little Saint.

And if the three Pavilion Masters hadn’t arrived, bringing a message from the Heavenly Sword Holy Land, Tian Chuan really would have been crippled!

Since achieving the rank of Little Saint, when had Tian Chuan ever felt such terror and dread?

"Lingchen, boy, let’s go. Today, I’ll announce your status as Young Master of the Pavilion. We’ll see who in the Medicine Pavilion dares to stand in your way after this!"

"Who will dare call you a medicine thief? Who will dare to cripple you or kill you?"

Elder Yao’s voice not only echoed throughout the Medicine Pavilion but also spread outwards, reverberating through the entire Heavenly Sword Academy.

At this moment, Elder Yao pointed a finger at the Cyan Nether Wood Token. In an instant, a cyan light shot into the sky, filling the heavens.

Then, within that cyan light, the figures of Elder Yao and Jiang Jichen appeared simultaneously.

"From this day forward, Lingchen is the Young Master of the Pavilion of my Pharmacist System!"

"I don’t care how the younger generation fights amongst themselves, but if some shameless old fossil dares to make a move, I hereby declare that I will annihilate their entire clan!"

With these words, coupled with the anomaly visible to all instructors and students, the name Lingchen instantly became known to all.

Elder Yao’s words were pointedly aimed, clearly at Tian Chuan, which made Tian Chuan’s face turn even more pale and grim.

His gaze toward Jiang Jichen was filled with endless resentment and hatred.

Within the cyan light in the sky, phantom images of herbs and a Medicine Cauldron floating in the air appeared before Jiang Jichen, making him look truly extraordinary.

Lingchen, the Young Master of the Pavilion of the Pharmacist System!

Many were shocked. They never expected that the position of Young Master of the Pavilion for the Pharmacist System, which had been vacant for a thousand years, would finally be filled.

And so, many people began to investigate, wanting to know just who this boy Lingchen was. How could someone merely at the Grandmaster Realm earn Elder Yao’s favor and such confidence? To let him fight and struggle among the younger generation?

But some people already recognized Lingchen!

"It’s him? How is that possible? He actually became the Young Master of the Pavilion of the Pharmacist System? Ahh, I don’t believe it! I won’t accept it!"

Upon hearing the news, Duan Feng roared in rage, utterly indignant.

"Lingchen... Young Master of the Pavilion of the Pharmacist System!"

In the Chang Family residence, an exceptionally beautiful woman also received the news. She only whispered this sentence softly, revealing no emotion.

"I never would have thought... I couldn’t tell at all. Only a few days have passed, and that kid Lingchen is already the Young Master of the Pavilion for the Heavenly Sword Academy’s Pharmacist System. But he’s only in the Grandmaster Realm. I’m afraid far too many young people won’t accept it and won’t be able to sit still. And that kid Lingchen definitely doesn’t know the rule: for the first three days, a newly appointed Young Pavilion Master cannot refuse a challenge from any student within the Academy who is not more than one major realm above them. That means right now, anyone in the entire Heavenly Sword Academy below the Spirit Infant Realm can challenge him. And the most terrifying part is... which of Yunshui City’s geniuses isn’t a student of the Heavenly Sword Academy?"

In the Yunlai Inn, the proprietress soaked in a Spiritual Spring Bath. Her snow-white, graceful figure was shrouded in mist, exuding a mysterious and infinite allure.

At that moment, she scooped up a handful of water, letting it cascade over her fair, full chest as she murmured to herself.

The scene was picturesque and enchanting, yet there was no one to appreciate it but herself.

And just as the mysterious proprietress had said, the Heavenly Sword Academy was about to erupt into chaos!

If a mere teenager in the Grandmaster Realm could become a Young Master of the Pavilion, then what did that make them, the genius Transcenders at the Heaven-level Dao Platform Perfect Realm?

"A challenge! I’m going to challenge him!"

"Defeat! I’m going to defeat him!"

"Replace! I’m going to replace him!"

...

Throughout the Heavenly Sword Academy, one genius after another made their voices heard, vowing to challenge, defeat, and even replace Lingchen.

Yunshui City was shaken, and the Academy was in an uproar.

In an instant, Lingchen became the focus of everyone’s attention.

But Jiang Jichen, at the center of this vortex, was still completely oblivious.

He was still gloating, a proud look on his face.

’Hmph! From now on, who would dare to casually attack me? I’m the Young Master of the Pavilion of the Pharmacist System!’

Jiang Jichen thought smugly, a pleasant smile on his face.

After announcing Jiang Jichen’s identity as the Young Master of the Pavilion of the Pharmacist System, Elder Yao gave Jiang Jichen a smile that didn’t reach his eyes, then drifted away.

But Jiang Jichen paid it no mind. He was walking alone down one of the Academy’s main avenues when he saw a group of people heading his way.

He couldn’t help but straighten his back, his face full of pride, preparing to accept their looks of reverence and their greetings.

But just then, a student suddenly sped up, rushed in front of him, and shouted, "I, Luo Jun, a student of the Array System, hereby formally issue a challenge to Lingchen, the Young Master of the Pavilion of the Pharmacist System!"

’This... isn’t how I imagined it would be!’

Hearing those words, Jiang Jichen was instantly flabbergasted.
