More than ten days later, Liu Tianchen finally arrived at his master, the Pill King's, dojo.
During their journey, the two True Immortal guards kept helping Liu Tianchen expel the Xuanxian Immortal power from his body. Unfortunately, their strength was limited, and they could only help suppress it slightly.
Therefore, over the past ten days or so, Liu Tianchen has been driven almost mad by the Xuanxian immortal power within his body!
The Dan King's dojo was built in a very grand manner.
A group of celestial beings served as guards at the main gate.
They were all shocked to see Liu Tianchen convulsing, pale-faced and extremely disheveled.
Before they could react, Wang Qing shouted sternly, "Open the door quickly! Young Master Tianchen has been ambushed and needs the Pill King's help."
The celestial guards at the gate dared not delay and immediately opened the gate!
Soon, the Pill King's steward arrived upon hearing the news. Although he was just a steward, his cultivation was quite high, reaching the third level of the Taiyi Immortal realm!
As a Taiyi expert, he naturally saw through Liu Tianchen's internal condition at a glance. With a reach of his hand, he extracted hundreds of Xuanxian immortal powers from Liu Tianchen's body!
"Thank you, butler!"
After letting out a heavy sigh, Liu Tianchen expressed his gratitude to the butler.
"Fifth Young Master, there's no need for such formalities. What's going on with you?"
The butler waved his hand and then asked, "Liu Tianchen is the fifth disciple of the Pill King. Although he is still a third-grade alchemist, his talent in alchemy surpasses that of the other four disciples."
Therefore, King Dan valued him even more!
Upon hearing this, a venomous glint flashed in Liu Tianchen's eyes, and he asked, "Steward, where is Master?"
"Master is currently refining a rather important batch of pills, which will probably take another fifty years to complete!" the steward said truthfully.
Upon hearing this, Liu Tianchen clearly showed disappointment.
“Actually, Fifth Young Master, if you have any problems, you don’t necessarily have to go to the Master. You can leave it to this old man!” the steward said with a smile. As a shrewd man who had lived for many years, he naturally understood Liu Tianchen’s thoughts. He simply wanted to get the Pill King to make the decision.
Although Liu Tianchen wanted to ask his master for help, his master was refining pills, and he didn't want to wait fifty years to take revenge. It seemed that he could only ask the steward for help.
"Thank you, butler. Here's what happened...!"
After recounting the incident, Liu Tianchen's expression grew increasingly angry and resentful: "Butler, you must avenge me!"
The steward said thoughtfully, "If I remember correctly, the Eastern Yue Domain is the territory of the Floating Pagoda Palace. By the way, Fifth Young Master, do you know who the other party is?"
"Steward, if I'm not mistaken, that person is Gao Yan, the city lord of Tianyao City. The entire Dongyue Domain is under his jurisdiction!" Wang Qing interjected. He had been sent to gather information and had managed to find out quite a bit.
In Tianyao City, the only person who can command Xuanxian is the city lord, Gao Yan.
"Brilliant words!"
The butler nodded: "Fifth Young Master, please stay here and wait for a while. I will send someone to find out the other party's background first, and then we will discuss how to help you get revenge!"
"Alright, thank you very much, butler!"
Although Liu Tianchen couldn't wait to lead his men to Tianyao City, he also knew that it was essential to find out Gao Yan's background!
Soon, the steward dispatched two Golden Immortals to Floating Pagoda City to inquire about Gao Yan's whereabouts.
Five days later.
Two golden immortals have returned.
They then stored all the intelligence they had gathered into a jade slip and handed it to the steward to review!
After reading the jade slip, the steward frowned slightly. If Gao Yan was just an ordinary Golden Immortal, even if he were killed, the Floating Pagoda Palace might not necessarily turn against him, given his status as a Pill King.
But this Gao Yan was no ordinary Golden Immortal; his master was actually Shen Ye.
Shen Ye is not only an elder of the Floating Pagoda Hall, but also the younger brother of Shen Xuan, the hall master of the Floating Pagoda Hall. If Gao Yan is killed, neither Shen Ye nor Shen Xuan can remain indifferent.
Although the Pill King has a prestigious reputation, his cultivation level is only at the fifth level of the Taiyi Immortal realm.
Although many Taiyi forces have to curry favor with him and give him face, that's only when there's no conflict or entanglement of interests with them.
Therefore, he really didn't dare to send someone directly to kill Gao Yan!
Otherwise, if the Floating Pagoda Palace were to launch an attack, the Pill King might not be able to withstand it!
"Someone, go and invite the Fifth Young Master here!"
The butler said in a low voice.
A short while later, Liu Tianchen arrived and asked excitedly, "Butler, have you found out anything about that guy?"
The steward nodded and tossed the jade slip to Liu Tianchen.
In the blink of an eye, Liu Tianchen had read through the contents of the jade slip, but his expression turned grim.
"Butler, what should I do?"
The steward said, "Killing him directly won't work. How about this, I'll send someone to the Floating Pagoda Hall to try and persuade Gao Yan to apologize to you and compensate you with some cultivation resources!"
Liu Tianchen was very unwilling, but he also knew in his heart that he had a powerful backer, and Gao Yan's backer was no less powerful than his. He really couldn't do anything to him. Thinking of this, he said, "Steward, there's no need for Gao Yan to apologize. I want him to hand over the two Xuanxian who tormented me and that woman named Biyusi to me for my disposal!"
"Very well, I will send someone to the Floating Pagoda Palace immediately!"
The butler nodded; in his opinion, Liu Tianchen's request was not excessive.
The person who received the messenger sent by the steward was Zhao Mengzhen, the deputy head of the Futu Temple.
After learning the whole story from the envoy and the demands made by "Dan Wang," Zhao Mengzhen couldn't help but show a playful expression.
He waved his hand with a smile: "Go back and tell your Pill King that this matter ends here!"
Others may not know, but does he not know? Gao Yan has a protector at the ninth level of Taiyi Immortal. So what if the Pill King can refine seventh-grade immortal pills?
After all, he only has the cultivation level of the fifth level of Taiyi Immortal!
If we really want to go head-to-head with Gao Yan, we should send out a Taiyi Immortal at the ninth level; he could easily kill him!
The envoy of the King of Dan was somewhat angry, but he dared not vent his anger on Zhao Mengzhen, so he had no choice but to take his leave and return home!
After the steward learned about the meeting with Zhao Mengzhen from the messenger, he couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression. He vaguely felt that Gao Yan had another identity!
So he sent someone to the Buddha Hall to find out more information!
The investigation revealed that Zhao Mengzhen's daughter, Zhao Xianyue, and Gao Yan seemed to be quite close.
"Damn it!"
Upon hearing this news, the butler was speechless. It seemed that the Fifth Young Master would not be able to vent his anger.
With a principal, a vice principal, and an elder backing Gao Yan up, even if the Pill King himself were to intervene, he might not be able to do anything to them.
After thinking it over, he decided to go and see the Pill King.
"master!"
What brings you here?
The Pill King, sitting cross-legged in front of the alchemy furnace, asked calmly.
The butler explained the cause of the matter and Gao Yan's background.
Upon hearing this, the Pill King looked thoughtful and said, "Go and tell Tian Chen that if he can reach the fourth-grade alchemist level within three thousand years, I will help him kill Gao Yan!"
Over the years, he has cultivated a considerable network of connections.
They could easily find a Taiyi Immortal to secretly kill Gao Yan, thus avenging their disciple without turning against the Floating Pagoda Palace.
If Gao Yan knew what Dan Wang was thinking, he would probably sneer and then kill him with a single palm strike!
