Chapter 543: Offending The Pill Dao Immortal Alliance (2/2)
…
Ying Valley Immortal Resthouse was the number one immortal resthouse in the Yong Ying Immortal Domain. Whether it was the location in the Yong Ying Immortal Domain or grandness of its architecture, it was second to none in the Yong Ying Immortal Domain.
Even though Water Ying Immortal City was only a low grade immortal city, the castellan, Wen Hou, was still qualified to stay in the Ying Valley Immortal Resthouse.
Presently within a room on the fourth level of the Ying Valley Immortal Resthouse, Wen Lianxi stood in the centre with her head lowered and hands by the side. There were 4 people seated on top and other than Water Ying Immortal City’s castellan, Wen Hou, there was also Tier 4 Pill King Tan Liang who was supposed to help the Water Ying Immortal City in this alchemy competition.
Even though Tan Liang was only a Tier 4 Pill King, he was the representative of the highest alchemy standard for Water Ying Immortal City.
One of the other two people seated was a man wearing a crown who was expressionless as if he didn’t bother about anything. The last person had an air of arrogance around him as he looked at Wen Lianxi loftily. Even Wen Lianxi’s mother could only sit somewhere further away from them.
”Lianxi, hurry up and greet the two Pill Kings from the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, Pill King Geng Ji and Pill King Di Baisheng,” The moment Wen Lianxi entered the room, Wen Hou hurried to remind her.
Wen Lianxi bowed obediently, ”Wen Lianxi greets Pill King Geng Ji and Pill King Di Baisheng.”
Geng Ji didn’t react as he appeared as though he didn’t hear Wen Lianxi’s greetings while Di Baisheng simply maintained his proud face before nodding at her.
Wen Hou said in a hurry, ”Lianxi, quickly take out the jade token for the alchemy competition. Pill King Geng Ji and Pill King Di Baisheng are both Tier 5 Pill Kings of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance and it is truly our Water Ying Immortal CIty’s blessing that both of them are willing to represent us in this competition…”
”How about Uncle Tan?” Wen Lianxi was shocked as she temporarily forgot that she couldn’t take out the jade token and was worried for Tan Liang instead.
Tan Liang had been giving his all for the Water Ying Immortal City and kicking Uncle Tan Liang out immediately after someone slightly more capable wanted to participate in the competition seemed a little too absurd right?
Tan Liang heard that Wen Lianxi was concerned about him so he hurried to laugh it off, ”Lianxi, don’t have to worry about me. I am happy now that we have Pill Kings from the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance to help represent our Water Ying Immortal City.”
Wen Hou nodded, ”Lianxi, you don’t have to worry about all these so just pass me the jade token for the competition.”
”Father, I am sorry but I cannot get the jade token back anymore…”
When Wen Hou heard this, his face turned solemn because he passed a jade token to his daughter, a daughter he adored so much and a daughter who knew it was impossible to find a better participant than Tan Liang. If even Tan Liang couldn’t get into the top 50, why would any random pill refiner that Wen Lianxi found be able to do so?
Now that the Water Ying Immortal City had some glimpses of hope, how could he allow his daughter to give the precious jade token away so casually? Furthermore, how could he offend these two people beside him?
”Lianxi, you have to be understanding and quickly hand the jade token over,” Even Wen Lianxi’s mother, Yan Qianling couldn’t help but to comment.
Wen Lianxi lifted her head and said sincerely, ”Father and mother, I am truly unable to get the jade token back because I’ve met a pill refiner who said he will represent my Water Ying Immortal City in this competition so I gave him the jade token. When we parted, I forgot to ask him for a communication bead so even I have no idea where he is now.”
After Wen Lianxi said this, the few people in the room exchanged glances.
The nonchalant Geng Ji finally opened his eyes widely as all he did was grunt with a face of unhappiness, ”Since the Water Ying Immortal City has someone so capable to participate in this competition, you shouldn’t need us anymore. We shall make our move first.”
Immediately after he said this, Geng Ji stood up and soon after, Di Baisheng followed suit.
”These two Pill Kings please hold on because I will definitely find the jade token and send it directly to both your hands,” Wen Hou stood up anxiously as he said this.
”Since this is the case, find us after Castellan Wen had found the jade token,” Immediately after this, Geng Ji and Di Baisheng no longer cared about Wen Hou as they simply left their seats and left the room.
”Lianxi, you are in huge trouble,” After the two Pill Kings left, Yan Qianling sighed. She couldn’t understand why her obedient daughter would ever make such an absurd move.
”Father and mother, since the Yong Ying Immortal Domain Grand Alchemy Competition loosened up with the rules, even Pill King Geng and Pill King Di might not be able to…”
Wen Lianxi was kind in nature so she didn’t say that they would not be able to earn the slots even if they were to enter and represent us.
Wen Hou’s face was still serious as he didn’t bother about Wen Lianxi.
Yan Qianling sighed once more before saying, ”Lianxi, do you know how serious the consequences would be now that we have rejected the help of two Pill Kings from the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance? Ai…”
Wen Lianxi’s heart turned heavy as she had forgotten that those two were from the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. Even the Yong Ying Immortal Domain’s Sky Lord had to be respectful to the Pill Kings from the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. Now that she mentioned she no longer had a pill token with her, they must be thinking that the Water Ying Immortal City was messing with them.
The Water Ying Immortal City was already filled with troubles but now, she had offended two more important figures.
