C32 (1/2)

Wei Qi kneeled on the ground, looking at the old man who was sitting cross-legged on a prayer mat three meters away from him, his face full of regret.

Master... Master, blame me for being reckless …

Wei'er, even though he is just a pill slave, he is still a registered disciple. Moreover, he is my disciple in name.

With that, the old man looked at Wei Qi again. The blaming in his expression gradually faded, and his tone turned gentle as he said, ”Disciple, Master will help you settle this matter. Your energy must be placed on that Maki Chen now, so don't embarrass me when we exchange pointers.”

Master, I don't have the confidence to defeat him. That fellow's skill in pill refining is extremely profound, and the pills he refines are things that I and I have never seen before.

Wei Qi's words caused the old man to ponder, he wore a white beard and thought for a long time.

Disciple, you don't have to worry, he should be good at refining Jade Cauldron, tomorrow I will let him use normal Pill Cauldron to refine pills, if you are still worried, you can just make some moves amongst the Pill Cauldron.

Master, what if that kid discovers that something is amiss?

No matter how outstanding his talent is, he is still just a brat who just came in contact with alchemy. The Spirit Soul must not be that strong to be able to find out that this old man has done something to the Pill Cauldron.

In the area where the four pavilions of the Mountain Sea Pavilion met, there was a spacious open area, which was paved with green brick. Every year, Sect would be held there, but it was mostly used for the disciples to spar with each other.

In the space, it was split into seven stages. At the center of the stage, Maki Chen was seated cross legged on the ground, his eyes closed as he recuperated the spirit energy in his body.

And outside of the arena, surrounded by many disciples, there were roughly three to four hundred people.

Some people arrived at the pavilion near the open ground because they couldn't see what was happening in the arena. Although they would be unable to see clearly from a distance, it was still better than not being able to see.

In the crowd, a stocky fatty was looking around for something.

Someone at Fatty's side noticed his abnormality and asked, ”Junior Brother, what are you looking at?”

I didn't see anything, it's just that why is Wei Qi not here yet, could it be that his attainment in pill refining can't compare to Junior Brother Maki Chen, and does not dare to come?

Although I don't like Wei Qi, but when it comes to refining pills, I am still more optimistic about him. After all, his attainments in pill refining was recognized by many of the elders. Right now, Junior Brother Maki Chen is just a fledgling brat. Even if his talent is good, he would still need time to grow.

As the two of them were discussing, someone walked in. ”I feel that Junior Brother Maki Chen is a little stronger, I've bought Junior Brother Maki Chen's pills before, the quality is even better than the pills refined by some elders, I don't believe that Wei Qi has the ability to do so.

Similar discussions were taking place in different corners of the crowd. The entire scene could be said to be extraordinarily lively.

Just then, Wei Qi's figure appeared at the end of the crowd, and beside him stood a short and shriveled looking old man.

When everyone saw the old man, they could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. They all moved to the side, actively opening up a path.

Maki Chen who had been resting with his eyes closed the entire time, acutely sensed a faintly discernable killing intent. He slowly opened his eyes and looked in front of him.

At this time, Wei Qi stood on stage, the resentment in his eyes hard to conceal.

Maki Chen stood up, and said with a smile while looking at Wei Qi: ”Senior Brother, I've already been waiting here for a long time!

Finished speaking, Maki Chen did not forget to bow.
