Chapter 73: Scolded (2/2)
”What are we going to do? I'm just going out to inform them my pill refinement was complete and if they get any complaint, they can say it directly to my face.” Elder Jing smirked as she couldn't be bothered with them if she didn't promise the sect leader back then.
Sometime later, Elder Jing started smelling a sweet fragrance but it was a bit worse than the beggar chicken.
Stepping outside, Elder Jing saw the disciples cooking some meat and Elder Pao Huang had drools all over him as he chomped the piece of meat down to his throat.
The other disciples who weren't in charge of cooking were busily fighting with each other and snatching the cooked meat where they even started tearing some of their clothes.
Of course, none of the disciples dared to snatch the cooked meat specifically for Elder Pao Huang as that would be asking for punishment.
”What the hell happened here when I left them?” Lian Xinyue exclaimed in shock as she recalled they were busy recovering their true qi but it seemed like they all went hunting after she went inside to meet up with Elder Jing.
Meanwhile, Elder Jing dashed toward Elder Pao Huang who nearly choked on the meat for the sudden appearance of Elder Jing.
”Cough, Elder Jing, cough, you finished refining your pills?” Elder Pao Huang coughed multiple times before asking Elder Jing.
However, Elder Jing held a solemn expression as she asked, ”Elder Pao Huang, what's the meaning of this?”
Elder Jing pointed her finger around the meat dishes and the magical beast corpse in the corner where it had been dissected.
Afterward, she pointed at the pale disciples who almost had their true qi exhausted.
Elder Pao Huang understood her meaning and cleared his throat before saying, ”T-The disciples were all starving because of the aroma emitting from inside the cave so I suggested we go scouting and hunt for some magical beasts to cook food to fill our hunger.”
The disciples also stopped their movement as they hurriedly agreed with Elder Pao Huang that they decided to hunt for food.
Elder Jing nearly exploded in anger as she couldn't expect the disciples from her sect to be so ridiculous, especially a sect elder that's given them permission.
”Elder Pao Haung, did you forget the reason for this mysterious realm?” Elder Jing glared at Elder Pao Huang and asked him a simple question.
Elder Pao Huang shuddered and started trembling in fear when he realized what mistakes he committed when he recounted the days in here.
”I'm glad you haven't gone senile since you recall that the Pagoda would most likely appear tomorrow.” Elder Jing yelled and continued, ”If the Pagoda truly appears tomorrow then what are we going to do when these disciples are all exhausted of their true qi.”
Elder Pao Huang hurriedly knelt down with his head lowering to the ground as he said, ”It is this elder's fault for being negligent and causing the disciples to be ineligible for the fight tomorrow.”
The other disciples also followed Elder Pao Huang as they apologized for their rash action.
Yang Wei and Lian Xinyue were secretly relieved that it wasn't them that committed a mistake and irritated Elder Jing.
Elder Jing glanced at the disciples and Elder Pao Huang before retrieving some pills and threw it towards them.
”Those are Qi Rejuvenation pills to help you recover your true qi faster.” Elder Jing said before entering back inside the cave again, leaving them alone to start their recovery.
