Chapter 272: Chapter 271: Thoroughly Surpassing

Outside the Medicine Tower.

Elder Mu, along with a host of onlookers, awaited the progress of the competition.

Suddenly, a deacon came out quickly to report.

”How is it going? Has the situation changed?” Elder Mu softly asked.

”Reporting to Elder,” the deacon replied.

”The situation has barely changed; Jie Mo and the two Sword Masters are still stuck on the 22nd floor.”

”The rest are all stuck on the 8th floor.”

”Only Yi Xiao has broken through the 8th floor, directly leaping to the 13th floor, arriving at the 22nd.”

”Trapped on the 22nd floor together with Jie Mo and the others.”

Elder Mu, upon hearing this, revealed a smile on his aged face, ”Yi Xiao, that boy, has finally caught up.”

In fact, he had no close ties with Yi Xiao.

At most, he just thought Yi Xiao was an interesting and approachable lad.

He was not so concerned as to be worried or elated for Yi Xiao.

However, if Yi Xiao had performed poorly,

wouldn’t that have substantiated the rumors that he had ’cheated’ for Yi Xiao during the second round?

Now, seeing Yi Xiao catch up,

he naturally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, there were always troublemakers around who were relentless in their efforts.

It was none other than the Wanshan Sword Master.

”Leaping across 13 floors? How is that possible?” The face of the Wanshan Sword Master was full of disbelief.

”Before, Yi Xiao was so slow, as slow as a snail.”

”How could he possibly catch up with Jie Mo and the others and reach the 22nd floor now?”

Speaking, the Wanshan Sword Master’s face showed an angry expression.

”Elder Mu, it couldn’t be that you didn’t want to lose face.”

”For this third round, you’ve helped him cheat again, have you?”

Elder Mu was just about to say something.

The Wanshan Sword Master preemptively said, ”Elder Mu, don’t be in a hurry to explain.”

”Besides, your explanation would be pointless.”

”We have no knowledge of the situation inside the Medicine Tower.”

”Only your deacons are watching over it.”

”Elder Mu, it would be quite easy for you to help Yi Xiao cheat, wouldn’t it?”

As soon as these words from the Wanshan Sword Master came out,

they immediately provoked a great deal of discontent among the surrounding veteran alchemists.

”Elder Mu, the words of the Wanshan Sword Master, they’re not true, are they?”

”We have accompanied our sect’s disciples from far and wide.”

”To receive such unfair treatment?”

”Elder Mu, you must give us an explanation.”

Those who were speaking were the elders of 54 out of the 72 alchemical geniuses who had been eliminated.

That is to say,

there were more than half the number of people present demanding an explanation.

Their own sect’s talented disciples had lost in the previous two rounds, and they were already uncomfortable.

Now, naturally, they were angry.

”Shut up,” Elder Mu bellowed.

Under the profound Cultivation of a Heavenly Origin Realm Martial Artist, his shout intimidated the entire field.

Immediately after, Elder Mu looked coldly at the Wanshan Sword Master.

”The words just spoken by the Wanshan Sword Master.”

”Are you suggesting that our Medicine King Valley is unjust in our affairs?”

”Two-faced and dishonest?”

Elder Mu’s voice was already icy to the extreme.

”I dare not,” the Wanshan Sword Master hurriedly clasped his hands and claimed he would not dare.

His previous questioning expression was long gone.

Now, his forehead was streaming with cold sweat.

He dared to question Elder Mu,

but to say that he questioned the entire Medicine King Valley, he wouldn’t dare even if he had ten times the courage.

”Hmph, you better not dare,” Elder Mu said coldly.

”Otherwise, I might personally go ask the Wanshan Prince.”

”And your Wanshan County Sky Splitting Sword Sect Leader.”

”How you such a talent were actually instructed in the past.”

The Wanshan Sword Master’s complexion turned extremely unsightly,

but he dared not rebut anything.

On the other hand, the Medicine Hall Elder of the Sky Splitting Sword Sect from Wanshan County, who had accompanied the Wanshan Sword Master, showed a displeased expression.

”Elder Mu, your words are too severe.”

The Wanshan County Medicine Hall Elder said, ”The Medicine King Valley is a holy land of Alchemy, and we alchemists hold it in high esteem.”

”We would not dare to question.”

”But as a power, there will inevitably be a mixed bag.”

”Among them, some unworthy people may emerge.”

”Duplicitous and deceitful.”

”Our Sword Master was merely questioning a certain individual.”

”Isn’t that right, Elder Mu?”

The words of the Wanshan County Medicine Hall Elder were clear.

He wasn’t questioning Medicine King Valley; they held Medicine King Valley in high regard and wouldn’t dare cause offense.

But his last rhetorical question

clearly implied that Elder Mu was the one being two-faced and duplicitous.

Elder Mu’s face immediately turned black.

In a stern voice, the Medicine Hall Elders from Wanshan County said, ”What is it, Elder Mu? Do you still plan to bully others by pulling rank?”

”Our Sword Master intends to join the Sword Sect.”

”The Wanshan Prince can’t manage it, nor does the Sword Sect Leader have the right to intervene.”

In fact, aside from Northern Mountain County.

The elders of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect from the other counties, including the Sect Leaders.

They had all once been disciples of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect in their youth.

Later, they returned to their respective Sword Sects to become elders.

Naturally, these Sword Sect Elders fancied themselves once being disciples of the Sect.

They thus held themselves in high regard, even daring to retort against Elder Mu.

”Heh,” Elder Mu laughed in rage.

”Think you’re great just because you joined the Sky-splitting Sword Sect?”

”There are plenty of Elders within the sect who asked me to refine pills for them.”

Elder Mu was a figure within Medicine King Valley.

Apart from the Valley Master and the top three elders, he was the foremost authority figure.

His Alchemy Technique certainly needs no further mention.

”If you dare to utter another useless word, I’ll slap you to death,” he threatened.

”Let’s see if the Sky-splitting Sword Sect would bother with me for your sakes.”

Elder Mu was an interesting old man.

Characters like him often had peculiar temperaments.

The Wanshan Sword Master and the Medicine Hall Elder spoke coldly to him, speaking indirectly.

It would be strange if he did not lose his temper.

Upon hearing Elder Mu’s words, the Wanshan Sword Master and the Medicine Hall Elder were immediately shocked.

They said no more.

The killing intent of a Heavenly Origin Realm Martial Artist filled them with panic.

Seeing this, Elder Mu angrily turned away.

But, actually, he was also without confidence in his heart.

”Yi Xiao, can’t you give me some face?”

”I’ve already talked tough.”

”If you slip up at a critical moment,”

”My lifetime of reputation will be destroyed.”

Elsewhere.

The Xingmo Saint from Xingmo County had been keeping quiet the whole time.

However, the elders among the two Sword Masters said, ”Although Yi Xiao has now caught up,”

”But Jie Mo and the two Sword Masters have been stuck on the 22nd floor for a long time.”

”This proves that the pill recipe on the 22nd floor must be extremely difficult to refine.”

”Now Yi Xiao has caught up.”

”I suspect that Jie Mo and the two Sword Masters will soon breakthrough to the 23rd level.”

”Whereas Yi Xiao will be stuck on the 22nd for a long time.”

The surrounding Alchemists nodded in agreement.

But, not much later.

An urgent report came from a Deacon rushing out of the Medicine Tower.

It was like a vicious slap to the faces of those who doubted.

”Elders, Yi Xiao has refined an Elixir on the 22nd level and is about to enter the 23rd level,” he reported.

”Oh?” Elder Mu’s eyes instantly lit up with interest.

The elders among the two Sword Masters then asked, ”What about Jie Mo and the other three?”

”Uh,” the Deacon responded, ”they are still stuck on the 22nd floor.”

”Judging from their situation, they won’t be able to refine an Elixir for a long time.”

”What?” The elders of the two Sword Masters looked shocked.

Anxiously, they said, ”It was already bad enough that Yi Xiao caught up.”

”How could he possibly overtake them now?”

”Elder Mu, did you cheat again...”

They didn’t finish their sentence.

Because they had already seen Elder Mu’s dark expression.

”I’ll say it again, I did not cheat for Yi Xiao,” Elder Mu stated firmly.

”Believe it or not, that’s up to you.”

”Just don’t ask me again.”

”Hmph,” Elder Mu snorted with a hint of exasperation.

...

Inside the Medicine Tower.

On the 22nd level.

Under the astonished gazes of Jie Mo and the others.

Xiao Yi refined three Sixth-grade Middle-Level Elixirs.

Then he carelessly made his way to the Flowing Light Restriction, meticulously searching among the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Soon, he tucked 5 Golden Yuan Fruits into his bag.

”Gu,” Jie Mo eyed the 5 Golden Yuan Fruits with covetous, bright eyes.

The two Sword Masters, meanwhile, were filled with envy.

”As expected of Purple Flame Yi Xiao,” Jie Mo muttered to himself as he watched Xiao Yi’s departing figure.

Having been stuck here for so long and ready to give up, he picked up the pill recipe again and began to seriously comprehend it.

...

Second update.
