Chapter 475: Chapter 475 You Are Not Qualified
I jumped up excitedly and said with passion, "Pavilion Master, are you being serious?"
The Pavilion Master replied coolly, "What do you think?"
For a moment, I was at a loss for words.
I quickly bowed down and said respectfully, "Thank you, Lord Pavilion Master, for your incredible kindness and..."
"Enough." The Pavilion Master cut me off.
She gazed at me and said calmly, "But I have one condition."
I nodded right away, "Not just one, I’ll accept ten conditions!"
"Don’t be so quick to agree." The Pavilion Master gave a slight smile.
"This condition won’t be easy."
I chuckled and said, "Lord Pavilion Master, you’ve done so much for me, even if you asked me to put my life on the line, I’d be willing!"
The Pavilion Master said nothing more. She spoke lightly, "Don’t worry, there’s still time. I’ll let you know when the moment comes."
"Understood!" I nodded enthusiastically.
Right then, something crossed my mind.
I quickly pulled out the Three Pure Ancient Tree and offered it to the Pavilion Master.
"Lord Pavilion Master, this is a treasure I just obtained. It’s called the Three Pure Ancient Tree," I said.
When she heard this, a flicker of astonishment crossed the Pavilion Master’s eyes.
She accepted the Three Pure Ancient Tree and started examining it closely.
In the Pavilion Master’s grasp, the Three Pure Ancient Tree glowed with green light, creating a striking contrast against her pale hand.
"It truly is the Three Pure Ancient Tree." The Pavilion Master looked even more amazed.
"You need to keep this hidden extremely well," the Pavilion Master said seriously.
"If word spreads, it will surely bring disaster."
Seeing the Pavilion Master’s grave expression, I didn’t dare take this lightly.
I quickly nodded and said, "Right now only we two know about this Three Pure Ancient Tree."
At this point, I felt puzzled and asked, "Lord Pavilion Master, do you know where this Three Pure Ancient Tree comes from?"
The Pavilion Master stayed quiet for a moment before speaking slowly, "The Three Pure Ancient Tree is rumored to be a sacred tree that Taoist cultivators used for enlightenment."
"This tree has incredible growth potential, and its power will grow along with it."
After saying this, the Pavilion Master looked at the Three Pure Ancient Tree in my hands and added, "The one you have is just a sapling, with enormous room for growth ahead."
If a young tree could have such power, what incredible effects would it have when fully grown?!
"Put it away," the Pavilion Master said.
"Remember what I’m telling you: absolutely never let anyone else know about the Three Pure Ancient Tree. Otherwise, it will definitely bring catastrophe, and when that happens, even I won’t be able to shield you."
I nodded quickly and said, "I get it, Lord Pavilion Master."
As we were speaking, an attendant suddenly hurried over.
"Lord Pavilion Master, Elder Adrianne from the Great Saint Sect is asking for a meeting," the attendant whispered.
I gave a bitter smile, "He’s here for me."
The Pavilion Master wasn’t surprised, she glanced at me and said, "Go get some rest for now, I’ll take you to the warehouse tonight."
"Alright," I nodded.
Then, I looked concerned and said, "Lord Pavilion Master, you... please be careful."
The Pavilion Master said nothing as she gracefully leaped down from the pavilion like a bird.
——
In the Great Hall.
Elder Adrianne and several disciples from the Great Saint Sect sat there, sipping tea.
A few alchemists served tea and water nearby, not daring to slack off.
At that moment, the Pavilion Master walked in gracefully.
Upon seeing the Pavilion Master, Elder Adrianne stood up with a faint smile and said, "Greetings to the Lord of the Medicine God Pavilion."
The Pavilion Master nodded slightly and then sat across from Elder Adrianne, getting right to business, "Elder Adrianne, what brings you to my Divine Alchemist Pavilion?"
Elder Adrianne paused for a moment and said, "Pavilion Master, I’ll be direct with you. I’ve come here to collect someone."
"Collect someone?" The Pavilion Master raised an eyebrow.
Elder Adrianne nodded, "I know you’re fond of Mason Raymond, but he destroyed a crucial Dharma Treasure of our Great Saint Sect! I won’t let this insult slide!"
The Pavilion Master sipped her tea without responding.
Seeing this, Elder Adrianne went on, "Pavilion Master, I don’t know what connection you have with Mason Raymond, but he’s a troublemaker. If you keep him around, he’ll eventually bring ruin to the Divine Alchemist Pavilion!"
Upon hearing these words, the Pavilion Master finally looked up.
She stared at Elder Adrianne and said, "Are you making threats against me?"
Rather than answering directly, Elder Adrianne said, "I know Mason Raymond is an elder of your Divine Alchemist Pavilion, but..."
"Knowing that he’s an elder of my Divine Alchemist Pavilion, you still came to collect him?" the Pavilion Master cut off Elder Adrianne.
Elder Adrianne’s expression darkened.
"From what the Pavilion Master is saying, it sounds like you won’t be turning him over?" Elder Adrianne said coldly.
Upon hearing this, the Pavilion Master smiled faintly, "My Divine Alchemist Pavilion has never understood the concept of turning people over."
This made Elder Adrianne even more furious! He slammed the table and shot to his feet!
He glared at the Pavilion Master and said, "Think this through! If you insist on protecting Mason Raymond, you won’t just offend me but the entire Great Saint Sect!"
The Pavilion Master looked at Elder Adrianne and said indifferently, "You should have your sect master deliver those words to me; you’re still not qualified."
