Ye Xiruo and Zishu had just stirred up a huge wave at the Bounty Tower, and then they went with Sihao to rob Elder Wenqing's Vajra Bamboo. It would be hard for them not to become famous.
Previously, people only thought Ye Xiruo was lucky, that Jing Li happened to see her and discover her talent, even making her the young master of the Pill King Hall. This still couldn't change the fact that she was a good-for-nothing. Many people secretly thought that even if Ye Xiruo had heaven-defying talent, bloodline, and luck, what good was it? She still lost at the starting line. Disciples of large families were generally nurtured with various precious resources from a young age, starting cultivation at three or four, and learning about alchemy at four or five. Ye Xiruo, however, grew up in a remote mountain village, and didn't even know what cultivation was. She didn't start cultivating until she was thirteen, more than ten years later than others. Even if she secluded herself to cultivate every day, it would be difficult to catch up to the level of ordinary people in less than ten or eight years, let alone compare with prodigies like Zishu, Cao Ying, and Ying Xun.
Moreover, Ye Xiruo didn't really go into seclusion; instead, she often went to the kitchen. She was indeed a naive girl who had never seen the world. All she knew was how to eat, but she didn't know that strength was the most important thing in the world.
However, Ye Xiruo stayed in the Bounty Tower for a whole day, directly breaking the Bounty Tower's record and even achieving a success rate of 96%. Such profound accumulation is something that even some mid-level alchemists cannot achieve.
So, those who constantly mocked Ye Xiruo for neglecting her duties, making a fool of herself in the kitchen, and tarnishing the noble status of alchemists were directly proven wrong. Is this the difference between a peerless genius and an ordinary person? She's only been at the Pill King's Hall for a short time, yet she's already mastered so much knowledge. While this certainly wouldn't have been possible without the help of the Hall Master and Senior Brother, reaching such a level in such a short time is already quite extraordinary, isn't it? It's just that I wonder what level of alchemist Ye Xiruo is now. I feel it's better not to know this question, lest I be proven wrong again.
That's not all. The young master, who was just causing trouble at the Bounty Tower, actually provoked Elder Wenqing again, and it's said he dug up a lot of Elder Wenqing's Vajra Bamboo! Yet, Elder Wenqing came down from Wenqing Peak unscathed, and according to witnesses, he was in a very good mood. Conversely, Elder Wenqing didn't fly into a rage or go to the hall master demanding an explanation. Instead, he closed Wenqing Peak, claiming he was in seclusion. Who knows if he's actually healing himself after so much of his precious manhood was dug up?
That's not even the most exciting part. The most exciting part is that yesterday, the young master treated the master to bamboo shoots stir-fried with meat. That's right, it was bamboo shoots from the precious Vajra Bamboo. The master was overjoyed and rewarded the young master with many things.
After eating stir-fried bamboo shoots with meat, the Palace Master, Zishu, and Sihao's medicinal herb fields were filled with a new spiritual plant called Vajra Bamboo, which seemed to be a mutated variety that shimmered with golden light.
Fortunately, Elder Wenqing had gone into seclusion early on; otherwise, upon hearing this news, he might have vomited blood. It's simply outrageous.
Ye Xiruo's remarkable achievements have spread throughout the Pill King Hall in the past two days. The entire Pill King Hall is in an uproar, with everyone eager to see the domineering and unparalleled young master. Many people even went to the square, kitchen, and Ye Xiruo Hall to wait for him, but unfortunately, the young master seemed to have vanished into thin air.
Three days later, an insider revealed that Ye Xiruo, Zishu, and Xiu Qiyu had all gone into seclusion.
Those who mocked Ye Xiruo for only knowing how to eat and not how to cultivate were proven wrong again. It seems he went into seclusion to break through the Egg level.
Some people counted on their fingers and immediately looked like they'd been struck by lightning. Good heavens, this can't be real.
No one has ever been able to break through from Qi Refining to Golden Core in just over half a year, not even Venerable Mo Xuan. Then some people secretly speculated that Ye Xiruo must be some old monster reincarnated and cultivating again, because she has the memories and techniques of her previous life, which is why she has progressed so quickly.
Some speculated that she might have consumed some rare and precious medicinal herbs or elixirs, and once the effects kicked in, she would likely ascend to immortality. Others guessed that Jing Li had transferred her cultivation to Ye Xiruo. There were all sorts of wild guesses, but the consensus was that Ye Xiruo was not human, absolutely not; no human could be so ferocious, she must be a monster.
Good heavens, other people are about to reach the Golden Core stage in less than a year, while they've completely wasted their ten or twenty years of life! My heart aches so much.
Jing Li was dressed in a noble and gorgeous robe that covered his perfect body. His long black hair was draped over the exquisite throne. His eyes, which were like ink dots, were captivating and charming, with a hint of coldness in them. He portrayed these two contradictory qualities perfectly.
The price of perfection is that all the elders think their temple master is not human.
"It seems everyone's been quite free lately, with time to gossip."
"The Palace Master is never idle," a group of old men below replied in unison.
What a joke! The Palace Master is clearly in a bad mood and looking for trouble. If you still eagerly go and let him abuse you, you're just being too shameless.
"I will soon go into seclusion to cultivate, awaiting the Heavenly Ranking competition, to fight for the glory of my human race."
The elders below: qAq
Palace Master, are you really that kind of person? Don't you always talk about elegance and nobility? How could you possibly be interested in something as utterly boring as the Heavenly Ranking Competition?
"Palace Master, we are, after all, weak alchemists. Let the martial artists handle these fighting and killing!" An elder hesitated for a long time before finally speaking in a trembling voice.
"Oh, what will people on the mainland think of my Pill King Palace? It's not easy to be labeled a coward."
"Palace Master, you don't need to care about those rumors. They are just jealous of your strength and want to see you make a fool of yourself in the Heavenly Ranking Competition."
"Oh, so you also think I'll embarrass myself in the Heavenly Ranking Competition." Jing Li's tone remained calm, but the atmosphere in the hall had subtly shifted.
"Your subject dares not. With the Palace Master in charge, he will surely be invincible and slaughter everyone else. Everyone else will have to step aside." Now that things have come to this, he was going all out to avoid incurring the Palace Master's jealousy.
"That's more like it. After I go into seclusion, I'll leave it to you elders."
"The Palace Master's power will definitely increase greatly." The cultivation level of the Nascent Soul stage isn't so easy to increase. Even if one spent half a year in seclusion, their strength would probably only improve by a few points. They said this entirely to please the Palace Master. If the Palace Master was pleased, he might let them off the hook.
These poor elders, tormented by Jing Li every day, have now reached the pinnacle of their lying skills.
