64: The competition for the position of Palace Master is a matter of utmost respect!

"I heard that you look down on the Wending Sect?"

Right from the start, Lin Chen gave them a show of strength.

The people from Miao Dan Valley froze instantly... What?

This situation isn't right!

They all looked at the three inner sect elders who had blocked Fang Hong and Xiao Jin earlier.

True Man Yao Chen's heart skipped a beat.

The old woman was even more covered in cold sweat, secretly regretting that she shouldn't have been so aggressive back then.

Ancestor of Wonderful Elixir Valley stuttered, "...N-no... No..."

"Things are not as Sect Master Lin thinks; please listen to my explanation..." Valley Master of Wonderful Elixir Valley, the Valley Master of Miao Dan Valley, was wearing a long green dress, looking dignified and elegant with her charm still intact. Although she was panicked inside, she appeared calm on the surface.

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

"Hahahaha..."

"Why are you all so nervous?"

"This Sect Master was only joking with you!"

"Since it's our first meeting, I thought I'd lighten the mood!"

"Well, is this joke funny?"

Lin Chen suddenly laughed, turning into a harmless-looking young man.

Uh... was it funny?

It wasn't funny at all, okay!

It was absolutely terrifying!

The people from Miao Dan Valley felt as if they had just walked through the gates of hell; they wiped their foreheads, which were covered in cold sweat.

Li Tiangang, Chu Nansheng, and the others also breathed a sigh of relief. They thought the Sect Master had a sudden fit of madness and was going to kill all the people from Miao Dan Valley they had worked so hard to recruit!

"Sect Master, it's better not to make such jokes in the future!"

There was a hint of blame in Chu Nansheng's tone.

"...Fine."

Lin Chen stuck out his tongue.

"Sect Master, this is the Old Ancestor of Miao Dan Valley, Ancestor of Wonderful Elixir Valley, a Ninth Rank Pill Refining Grandmaster!"

Immediately after.

Fairy Nansheng introduced the people from Miao Dan Valley to Lin Chen.

There was no need to say more about Ancestor of Wonderful Elixir Valley.

Valley Master of Wonderful Elixir Valley, the Sect Master of Miao Dan Valley, is an Eighth-grade Alchemist.

Yao Chen, an inner sect elder of Miao Dan Valley, is a Seventh-grade Alchemist.

The old woman was named Mu Wanqiu. Her name was beautiful, but her appearance and voice were nothing to boast about; she was also a Seventh-grade Alchemist... In total, fewer than ten people had come.

Lin Chen naturally understood that the reason so few people came was because they were initially wavering, and only now had they willingly submitted.

However, as long as the outcome was good, the process didn't matter.

"Good, good, good!"

"Welcome to the Wending Sect!"

Lin Chen's smile was warm and gentle, like a spring breeze.

The people from Miao Dan Valley were surprised to find that Lin Chen looked like a boy next door, without any of the bloodthirsty aura they had expected.

Instead, he made people feel quite comfortable.

Thus, the rumors on the streets weren't necessarily true.

Sensing Lin Chen's sincerity, everyone's heavy mood changed, and the atmosphere began to lighten up.

Valley Master Valley Master of Wonderful Elixir Valley stepped forward and cupped her hands, saying, "Sect Master Lin."

"We have discussed it with the Old Ancestor and decided to relocate most of the Alchemists above the Fourth-grade from Miao Dan Valley to the Wending Sect to serve the Wending Sect!"

"As for the original Miao Dan Valley, it will serve as a Branch of the Wending Sect, with only a small number of people remaining to guard it."

"We hope Sect Master Lin will grant permission!"

Hearing this, Lin Chen's eyes crinkled with laughter; there was no way he wouldn't permit it.

He immediately agreed readily.

Next, Valley Master of Wonderful Elixir Valley introduced the situation of Miao Dan Valley to Lin Chen.

One Ninth Rank Pill Refining Grandmaster, three eighth-grade, thirteen seventh-grade, three hundred and fifteen Sixth-grade, and over ten thousand below the Fifth-grade... plus countless laborers.

All in all, it was significantly more than the original three thousand or so people of the Wending Sect.

"Good, from now on, you will be the vice hall master of the Pill Refining Hall!"

Lin Chen became happier the more he heard.

With so many Alchemists, the Wending Sect would never lack Medicinal Pills again.

The Disciples' Cultivation speed would also increase significantly.

Now, the Wending Sect could truly be called a great Sect of ten thousand people!

"Thank you, Sect Master!"

Valley Master of Wonderful Elixir Valley bowed with cupped hands and stepped aside.

This was the result everyone had expected, so they weren't surprised.

However, Lin Chen's next sentence left everyone confused.

"Senior Ancestor of Wonderful Elixir Valley, you should also serve as a vice hall master of the Pill Refining Hall in the future."

"vice hall master?"

"Wasn't it supposed to be the Hall Master?"

Not only was Ancestor of Wonderful Elixir Valley full of doubt, but even Chu Nansheng couldn't sit still.

Back then, she had given Ancestor of Wonderful Elixir Valley a guarantee.

Now the Sect Master was suddenly changing his mind—wasn't this like slapping her in the face?

"Sect Master..."

Chu Nansheng was a bit dazed.

Just as she was about to speak, she saw Lin Chen wave his hand: "You'll know in a moment."

He smiled without saying a word.

He sent a voice transmission to Ye Feng.

Not long after, while everyone was looking at each other, Ye Feng walked in from outside.

Everyone looked at Ye Feng, unable to guess what the Sect Master wanted to do.

"Xu Zhishan, aren't you coming out yet?"

"Do you want This Sect Master to invite you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a green light flashed on Ye Feng's body, and a faint remnant soul appeared before everyone.

With a white beard and white hair, he had the air of an immortal.

An air of arrogance emanated from between his brows as his cold gaze swept over the people from Miao Dan Valley.

But when he looked at Lin Chen, this arrogance quickly receded, and he bowed respectfully: "Pill Refining Hall Master Xu Zhishan pays respects to the Sect Master!"

Who is this?

I've never even seen him!

And he's just a mere remnant soul!

With just him, what right does he have to step over Old Ancestor Ancestor of Wonderful Elixir Valley to become the Hall Master of the Pill Refining Hall!

The Old Ancestor is a ninth-grade Alchemy Great Grandmaster!

There are very few ninth-grade Alchemy Great Grandmasters in the entire Eastern Region!

Although none of the people from Miao Dan Valley spoke up, everyone was indignant and unconvinced in their hearts.

That's right!

On what grounds?

"Xu Zhishan, tell them yourself, what right do you have to be the Hall Master of the Pill Refining Hall?"

Lin Chen spoke with a faint smile, seemingly wanting to watch a good show.

"This old man is Xu Zhishan, from the Ancient Pill Sect!"

Immediately after, Xu Zhishan briefly explained his background.

Many Elders and Disciples of the Wending Sect, as well as several Elders of Miao Dan Valley, looked bewildered.

What Ancient Pill Sect?

Is it a big deal? I've never even heard of it... However, these words fell upon the ears of Chu Nansheng, Ancestor of Wonderful Elixir Valley, Valley Master of Wonderful Elixir Valley, and the others like a thunderclap!

Ancient Pill Sect!

The undisputed number one Alchemy power in the Cangxuan Realm for the past hundreds of thousands of years!

Its Old Ancestor, Xu Zhishan, was the ninth-grade Peak Alchemy Great Grandmaster with the highest attainment in the Dao of Alchemy in the history of the Cangxuan Realm!

He was only one step away from entering the Tenth-grade!

What a pity... "...Senior... could it be... the Old Ancestor of the Ancient Pill Sect, Xu Zhishan, Senior Xu?"

Ancestor of Wonderful Elixir Valley and Valley Master of Wonderful Elixir Valley both stuttered as they spoke.

Xu Zhishan.

He was an insurmountable Peak in the Dao of Alchemy of the Cangxuan Realm, someone to be looked up to with awe.

Although Ancestor of Wonderful Elixir Valley had entered the ninth-grade long ago, the path of Alchemy was exceptionally profound; even he still had many doubts about the Dao of Alchemy.

Many years had passed, but his Realm improved slowly, and he was never able to make a Breakthrough.

As for Valley Master of Wonderful Elixir Valley, she was only at the eighth-grade.

She was still quite a distance from the ninth-grade.

"Indeed, it is I!"

Xu Zhishan didn't show the slightest humility and raised an eyebrow.

Ancestor of Wonderful Elixir Valley and Valley Master of Wonderful Elixir Valley were instantly overjoyed. Perhaps because they still had some suspicions in their hearts, they immediately asked Xu Zhishan about the difficult problems that had plagued them for years.

Although Xu Zhishan was arrogant, he still patiently answered their questions.

"So that's how it is, so that's how it is..."

The two were ecstatic, muttering to themselves.

It was like a sudden enlightenment, everything became clear!

Their cultivation Bottleneck actually loosened slightly, showing faint signs of a Breakthrough!

Meanwhile, the other people from Miao Dan Valley were also enthralled and benefited greatly!

It really is Xu Zhishan, Senior Xu!

Before Lin Chen could speak, Ancestor of Wonderful Elixir Valley immediately cupped his fists and said, "With Senior Xu here, how could this old man dare to covet the position of Hall Master! Let alone vice hall master, as long as I can stay by Senior Xu's side to serve, even if I'm made a fire-tending boy, I would be more than happy!"

Valley Master of Wonderful Elixir Valley also said sincerely, "Me too."
