"Kid, you're the one Heizi just tricked into coming here, right?"
An alchemist spoke up indignantly. "I've already heard about your situation. I don't care why you entered the mountain gate, but since you've joined it, you must follow its rules."
"Heizi has stirred up resentment and complaints for years. No matter what benefits he promised you, you shouldn't take the blame for him."
"That's right!"
Another alchemist leaped out and shouted, "Unity among fellow disciples is a good thing, but what Heizi has done isn't something a kid who just joined the mountain gate can shoulder."
"Heizi, you've violated a grave taboo. Either come with me to the martial arena and let me beat you senseless, or you're forbidden from refining pills for the next half year!"
"Half a year is letting him off too easily. I say no pill refining for at least three years."
"Five years!"
"Ten years!"
"For life!"
"He won't be allowed to refine pills in his next life or the life after that either."
Roar after roar crashed over them like mountains calling and seas roaring.
Qin Shaofeng was nearly stunned by their words. Even if Heizi had blown up some furnaces, was there really any need to target him like this?
Especially those people joining in at the end.
Next life, life after next?
Did these people think before they spoke or not?
They really dared to say anything!
Qin Shaofeng cupped his hands and said, "Senior Brothers, what happened just now really was my—"
"Shut up!"
Seeing that he still wanted to excuse Heizi, one man immediately snapped, "Kid, if you dare spout another word of nonsense, I'll report this to the House Lord and have you expelled from our pill room!"
Qin Shaofeng did not know whether to laugh or cry.
