Chapter 216: The Meaning of Grandmaster (2/2)
This was the tradition within the East Pill Division, a tradition created by soe and universal respect in the Violet Fate Sect: Grandmaster Pill Demon
Grand the East Pill Division: “One reat path of the Dao of alchemy Any qualified alchemist may become a Cultivator of the East Pill Division The only requirement is that he harbor no ill intentions, nor have the reckless ambition of olves”
Because of this, the traditions of the East Pill Division of the Violet Fate Sect had existed for a very long time Unfortunately, it had also led to circumstances in which disciples forsook the Sect Despite that, the techniques of the East Pill Division had never been revealed Many outsiders wondered about this mystery, and also why those who forsook the Sect were so sentimental about it afterward
In actuality, from time immemorial, all disciples who forsook the Sect were eventually brought back Except for two Those two had rocked the Southern Domain, and were the only two people other than Pill Demon to become Grandmasters of the Dao of alchemy!
Both of them had once been novitiates of Grandht forth new ideas and innovations Regardless of what outsiders thought, these two never believed their skill could outmatch that of their Master
The reason they had become famous, and the reason they never returned to the Sect, was also because of the words of Grandmaster Pill Demon, words that continued to be passed down to this very day
“Along the path of the Dao of alcheht to permit only the Mudan peony to exist? Cannot the lesser peony and the orchid also coexist? Thus is birthed the flower garden If the arden only contained one ? [1 The “Mudan peony” referred to here is the peony which once was the national flower of China It is also called the “king of flowers” What I’ as the “lesser peony” is another type of peony flower that resembles the Mudan peon These two are sometimes contrasted For example, in the ancient court, the Empress would be the Mudan peony and the concubines would be the lesser peonies]
“If those who inherit my Dao of alchemy are full of the ambitions of olves, I will take back the Dao of alche forth the new, he who can tread the untrodden path, that person ht If he is able to bear the weight of the title Grand to do withto me”
Because of this, there are three alcheh, the Dao of alchemy in the Southern Domain has only one true Grand Hao watched wang Fanht He never thought he would be able to secure a spot in the prohtfully at the jade slip he held in his hand His eyes glinted, and he cast Spiritual Sense into it His mind suddenly shook
In his head suddenly appeared the words:
Alcheed in the courtyard, holding the jade slip in hand He closed his eyes and immersed himself in the Alchemy Scripture which had appeared in his head It wasn’t until the sun began to rise the followingthat he slowly opened his eyes He took a deep breath, and looked off at the distant mountain peaks His eyes were filled with reverence He sat there quietly for a long time
This so-called Alchemy Scripture was in fact not really a scripture Actually, it was a record of events which had occurred in the East Pill Division in the thousand years since Grandmaster Pill Demon rose to fame
There were ins of the two other Grandmaster alchemists of the Southern Domain, as well as various quotations fro the entire Alcheure standing at the peak of the Dao of alche was so quick to discard the issue of his hidden past
Meng Hao slowly put away the jade slip He took a few deep breaths, and then began his daily apprentice alchemist cultivation
