Chapter 51 - Elders Assemble (1/2)

In the great hall of the alchemy sect, the old man in white and the woman in black looked at the first elder, Gu Daofeng, with strange expressions on both of their faces.

Gu Daogeng held the three papers that had the Three Mountain Shakes technique written on them by Fang Lin in his hand. The more he read, the more he frowned.

After reading all three papers, Gu Daofeng was silent. His brows furrowed deeply. He paced slowly behind the console table as if he was pondering about something.

The old man in white finally could not refrain from expressing, “First Elder, could Fang Lin have tricked both of us?”

The old woman did not speak. She felt suspicious as well but refused to speak without adequate evidence.

Gu Daofeng’s elegant face was as calm as the water in an old well. He responded after listening to the old man in white’s words, “Don’t be in such a rush to come to a conclusion. Let’s weigh and consider this after the technique has been tested and cultivated.”

Upon hearing that, the old man in white and the woman in black nodded in agreement.

After both of them left, a youth came into the great hall. Gu Daofeng passed those three pieces of paper to him. The youth left after expressing his gratitude.

Three days later, the youth made an appearance in the great hall once again. He looked ghastly pale and his eyes were filled with hatred and rage.

“That ‘s not the Three Mountain Shake’s cultivation technique at all. I cultivated according to the method in the papers. It caused my meridians intense pain and uncontrollable chaos in my inner strength! We’ve been tricked by that f*cker, Fang Lin!” said the youth in rage.

Gu Daofeng looked at the youth and said, “Perhaps this is precisely the Three Mountain Shakes’ cultivation technique. Use it to cultivate for a month first before we discuss any further.”

The youth clenched his fists tightly. He could only nod before leaving.

One day, Meng Wuyou suddenly arrived in the great hall of the alchemy sect with an incomparably solemn expression after not showing up for a long time. He held 17 alchemy prescriptions in his hand.

The alchemy sect elders were gathered in the same room. The first elder, Gu Daofeng, was seated high up in the hall.

“Elder Meng, you’ve asked me to gather all the elders. I wonder what’s the matter,” said Gu Daofeng with a gentle smile on his face.

Other than a few elders that were absent with reasons, the rest of the elders in the entire alchemy sect were there. Some of them appeared impatient. They wondered what was so important such that all the elders were requested to be present.

Meng Wuyou stood in the center of the great hall and gazed at the people around him before he finally landed his gaze on Gu Daofeng.

After he cupped his hands together before his chest in salutation at Gu Daofeng, he began to speak, “I’ve tested and verified this multiple times each. I can already confirm that there are 17 wrong alchemy prescriptions in the alchemy prescription hall of Yellow Building.”

As soon as those words were spoken, the people in the entire hall fell deadly silent. Soon after that, they broke into a clamor. Gu Daofeng, who had always kept his emotions hidden well, had a look of astonishment on his face for a moment.

“Elder Meng, what nonsense are you talking about?”

“Stop talking!”

“That’s treason and heresy!”
