Chapter 1238: Chapter 1238: Piaomiao Pill Tower
Although Hao Yuntian was quite uncomfortable in his heart, he did not hold it against Great Sect Master Xiao Wangyue.
After all, he was a disciple who had left the Yunxia Sect; without Yunxia Sect, there would be no Hao Yuntian today. Even if the Great Sect Master treated him poorly, he could only endure it.
"Hmph!"
"You can join the Yunxia Sect, but even if you do, it’s impossible to obtain a sect’s recommendation quota for the Immortal Bridge Meeting. In the sect, which one of the Main God disciples under a hundred thousand years old isn’t eagerly eyeing these three quotas?" Xiao Wangyue snorted softly and added.
He could see that Jing Yan was not very old and was already a Main God Warrior. No matter what, Jing Yan’s Martial Arts talent must be formidable. If he wished to join the Yunxia Sect, the sect certainly had no reason to refuse. But if he wanted a quota for the Immortal Bridge Meeting, that was out of the question.
"As for the Lan Wood Spiritual Root, I already have a plan, so there’s no need to trouble you, Yuntian, or this Divine Pill Master." Xiao Wangyue continued.
"Great Sect Master, Brother Yan’s alchemy abilities are really strong..." Hao Yang couldn’t help but speak up.
"Shut up! Is this a place for you to speak?" Xiao Wangyue reprimanded harshly, showing no mercy.
If he was so rude to Hao Yuntian, he would certainly be even harsher to Hao Yuntian’s son, Hao Yang.
Hao Yang was scolded angrily, his face turning red, unable to speak further.
"Cloud Sky Domain Master, in that case, shall we take our leave?" Jing Yan thought with a sneer in his heart and said to Hao Yuntian.
The attitude was clear; what was the point of staying here? Now it seemed that hoping to get a quota for the Immortal Bridge Meeting from the Yunxia Sect was almost nil. Although the Lan Wood Spiritual Root of Yunxia Sect had problems, the Great Sect Master clearly had no intention of letting him check it.
Do we really have to present a warm face to a cold behind?
If we’re not welcome, then we should just leave!
"Alas!" Hao Yuntian sighed deeply in his heart.
"Great Sect Master, Second Sect Master, then we won’t disturb you further." Hao Yuntian cupped his hands and said.
"Yuntian, I’ll see you off." Second Sect Master Qi Mei seemed a bit apologetic.
After sending Hao Yuntian and the others out of Yunxia Sect, Qi Mei returned to Great Sect Master Xiao Wangyue.
"Great Sect Master, your attitude towards Yuntian just now, wasn’t it a bit too..." Qi Mei’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"Do you think I was excessive?" Xiao Wangyue looked at Qi Mei, "Yuntian was once one of Yunxia Sect’s most outstanding disciples. To be honest, I was happy for him to return to visit. But he actually brought outsiders to the sect to request a quota for the Immortal Bridge Meeting, I truly don’t understand what he was thinking."
"Could he not understand the significance of the Immortal Bridge Meeting quota? That is the real reason for my anger." Xiao Wangyue said with his hands behind his back.
"But Yuntian said that Yan Jin is identified as a High-Level Divine Pill Master. Moreover, judging by Yan Jin’s age, he is already at the Main God realm." Qi Mei continued with furrowed brows.
"Indeed, that martial artist called Yan Jin is indeed not very old, younger than Hao Yang. If I’m not mistaken, he should be less than ten thousand years old." Xiao Wangyue nodded, "As for the identity as a Divine Pill Master..."
"Yuntian shouldn’t make baseless statements, we all know Yuntian’s character." Qi Mei interjected.
"Even if that person is indeed a High-Level Divine Pill Master, so what? Don’t we have several High-Level Divine Pill Masters in our sect? What difference does it make? If I really let him examine the Lan Wood Spiritual Root, what if he worsens the existing issue?" Xiao Wangyue posed several questions.
Qi Mei, too, fell silent.
"I have already received a reply from Pill Master Zhenqing." Seeing Qi Mei’s silence, Xiao Wangyue paused before continuing.
"What? Pill Master Zhenqing replied?" Second Sect Master Qi Mei’s face lit up with genuine delight.
"Indeed, just a moment ago, Pill Master Zhenqing personally sent a reply to me, agreeing to our request. Furthermore, he explicitly said that he would arrive at Cloud Mist City within three months." Xiao Wangyue also smiled slightly.
"That’s wonderful! With Pill Master Zhenqing’s help, our sect’s Lan Wood Spiritual Root can be saved." Qi Mei said with immense joy.
Outside the Yunxia Sect.
"Mr. Yan Jin, I truly didn’t expect things to turn out this way." Hao Yuntian said apologetically, "The Great Sect Master is actually a good person. It’s just that sometimes, he’s too stubborn."
Hao Yuntian shook his head repeatedly.
"Cloud Sky Domain Master, there’s no need for this. It’s normal for Yunxia Sect not to trust me, who could blame me for being young." Jing Yan smiled slightly.
Although he was quite displeased in his heart, he did not show it externally.
Hearing Jing Yan’s words, Hao Yuntian could only nod. When Hao Yang initially brought Jing Yan to his residence, he too did not trust Jing Yan.
"Father, what should we do next? There’s no hope for the Immortal Bridge Meeting quota from Yunxia Sect. Otherwise, why not give Brother Yan the recommendation quota? Brother Yan’s strength is so formidable; he’ll surely have a greater advantage at the Immortal Bridge Meeting compared to me." Hao Yang said standing beside them.
"There are still decades before the Immortal Bridge Meeting begins; let’s take one step at a time. If we really can’t find a second quota, I’ll recommend Mr. Yan Jin to attend the Immortal Bridge Meeting." Hao Yuntian said earnestly.
Jing Yan looked at the two of them and said nothing. When the time comes, if there is only one quota for either him or Hao Yang, he certainly would not accept Hao Yuntian’s recommendation.
They treat me like a close friend, how could I treat them as mere acquaintances?
"Since we’re here in Cloud Mist City, I should pay a visit to an old friend of mine." Hao Yuntian said, "Mr. Yan Jin, what do you think?"
"Haha, I will follow the lead of the Cloud Sky Domain Master." Jing Yan agreed without any objections, smiling as he spoke.
A tea’s time later.
The three of them arrived before another oval-shaped building.
Piaomiao Pill Tower!
Outside this building, hung a plaque with those four characters inscribed. This was a pill tower; the old friend Hao Yuntian spoke of was the owner of this Piaomiao Pill Tower. Long ago, when Hao Yuntian was still a disciple of Yunxia Sect, he got to know the owner of Piaomiao Pill Tower, establishing a deep friendship.
Piaomiao Pill Tower naturally dealt in the elixir business. However, the owner himself was not identified as a Divine Pill Master; he was a businessman. Despite this, Piaomiao Pill Tower was immensely famous in the Vast Smoke Divine Realm, recognized as one of the largest pill towers in the Vast Smoke Divine Realm.
"Yuntian? Hahaha... why are you here?"
Soon, the three of them met the owner of the Piaomiao Pill Tower. He was a short man with dark skin. His aura was robust, and Jing Yan felt that the building owner’s cultivation might not be inferior to Hao Yuntian Domain Master.
"What, am I not welcome? If I’m not welcome, I’ll leave immediately." Hao Yuntian jokingly said.
"Not welcome? Who dares to not welcome you, Yuntian? I’ll fight them." The owner, Gu Cuo, glared and said.
It was evident that Hao Yuntian and the owner of the Piaomiao Pill Tower indeed shared a very close relationship.
