Pill King Gu He Was Shocked

Everyone entered the Yunlan Sect Council Hall. Led by a senior disciple guard, they took several turns before finally arriving at the Core Hall.

"Disciple Yun Shenwei greets the Sect Master and the three Elders."

The moment Yun Shenwei entered the Core Hall, he saw Sect Master Yun Yun. He immediately clasped his fists in salute, while Xin Daorong and Niu Xuante beside him hurriedly followed suit.

Liu Wen and Liu Ling, meanwhile, used the formal etiquette of alchemists.

"Are you Yun Shenwei?"

A stern middle-aged man's voice suddenly came from the side.

Yun Shenwei quickly turned his head and saw a broad-shouldered man with a square face, dressed in the usual robes of an alchemist.

"This junior greets Senior Pill King Gu He!"

Yun Shenwei remained neither humble nor overbearing. Basic etiquette still had to be observed here, lest others find fault with him.

"Yun Shenwei, Steward Ge Ye has already told us what happened. How exactly do you intend to handle this matter? Tell us what you think."

Yun Ling, the Great Elder below the throne, asked another question. After all, they already understood the circumstances of the matter.

Yun Shenwei glanced around before slowly saying, "There were indeed some unexpected developments in this matter, but I do not believe I was wrong, because I was merely acting in self-defense."

"Impudence! You dare portray your actions as so righteous? Does that mean my disciples were the ones being unreasonable, then?"

Pill King Gu He flew into a rage and immediately rebuked him.

"Master, you must stand up for your disciples! This man is far too arrogant. He simply does not respect you at all! He is practically a murderous madman. If there had not been other people present at the scene, he would likely have burned us to ashes already."

Liu Wen hurriedly seized the opportunity to cry. In this situation, putting on a weak and vulnerable act was still greatly advantageous.

Liu Ling followed his example. After all, each of them had lost an arm, and it would have an enormous impact on their futures.

Not only did alchemists possess powerful spiritual strength, but more importantly, their cultivation realms were not low either.

Losing an arm at such a young age was undoubtedly a tremendous blow to them.

"Senior Gu He, you cannot put it that way. You already know the course of events. If you truly wish to argue, then we can examine whether that piece of tattered cloth actually contains a pill formula. Senior Gu He's alchemy is unparalleled, so I trust you can discern the truth."

Even under Pill King Gu He's pressure, Yun Shenwei remained neither humble nor overbearing as he spoke calmly.

"Gu He, my Yun Lan Sect has never sheltered its own people. However, since this matter began over something trivial, we should examine it from the source."

Yun Yun, seated upon the throne, finally spoke. Her words carried an unquestionable authority.

"Very well. Since you have spoken, we will do as he says."

Pill King Gu He had to give Yun Yun some face. Moreover, he had come here recently to ask for her help. If he wanted to subdue a Heavenly Flame in the Tagor Desert, his strength alone was far from sufficient.

"Please take a look, Senior."

Yun Shenwei picked up the tattered cloth in his hand and handed it to Pill King Gu He.

"Hmph!"

Pill King Gu He snorted coldly, too lazy to pay him any attention, and carefully examined the tattered cloth.

"This... this... this..."

At first, Pill King Gu He did not think much of it. But as he studied it more deeply, he suddenly discovered that the pill formula recorded on the cloth was simply earth-shattering. His expression changed repeatedly, and his breathing became hurried.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally finished reading. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and asked Yun Shenwei, "Boy, did you truly write the formula on this?"

Seeing Pill King Gu He like this, surprise appeared in Yun Yun's beautiful eyes. What sort of pill formula could make the Gama Empire's Number One Alchemist lose his composure to such an extent?

The others were equally baffled and all turned their gazes toward Yun Shenwei.

"That is correct. I wrote it. What does Senior think of it?"

Yun Shenwei spoke as calmly as if nothing had happened, a faint smile hanging on his face.

He had long expected this reaction. It might have looked like he had merely written it casually, but the contents were anything but ordinary.

Products of the system were always top-quality!

Everything exchanged from the Multiverse Shop was the ultimate product and truth under the rules.

Even Pill King Gu He could not possibly possess an understanding of pills that approached the rules themselves!

"What you have written here is indeed extraordinary. It is the most formidable combination I have ever seen in my life. It is more than five times superior to the Azure Profound Pill I created myself."

Although Pill King Gu He was somewhat displeased by Yun Shenwei's attitude, he still spoke objectively and fairly.

"How is that possible? This cannot be real!"

"Master, have you made a mistake?"

Upon hearing their master's words, Liu Wen and Liu Ling immediately questioned him.

"Impudence! You dare even question your master? Are you trying to rebel?"

Pill King Gu He hated nothing more than having others question his alchemy. He shot his two disciples a fierce glare.

"This disciple would not dare!"

Liu Ling and Liu Wen hurriedly clasped their fists, lowered their heads, and admitted their mistake.

"As expected of my sworn younger brother. I never imagined Yun Shenwei had such a trump card."

Yun Yun's beautiful eyes shifted as she looked deeply at Yun Shenwei. For some reason, she always felt that the youth before her was impossible to see through.

The other three Elders were the same, their aged faces filled with shock.

They had been in the Yun Lan Sect for decades and knew very well what talented figures had emerged from the sect. They had watched Yun Shenwei grow up since childhood.

Although this boy possessed exceptionally powerful talent in Dou Qi cultivation, they had never heard that he also possessed such outstanding talent in alchemy.

"Alright, now that the answer has been revealed, may this disciple leave?"

Yun Shenwei clasped his fists toward Yun Yun on the throne.

"Master, although the pill formula he produced has been verified by you, he still crippled both our arms. If news of this spreads, it may harm Master's reputation. We beg Master to stand up for us."

Seeing that the man who had crippled his arm was about to leave so calmly, Liu Ling hurriedly added another remark.

"Your pill formula is indeed genuine, and it even far surpasses the Azure Profound Pill. However, you injured my two disciples. If I let you leave so easily, would people not think that I, Pill King Gu He, am easy to bully? No matter what, you must give an explanation for today's matter, even if you are the Yun Lan Sect's chief disciple!"

As a renowned figure in the Gama Empire, Pill King Gu He cared most about his reputation. If this matter was not handled properly, recruiting disciples in the future would likely become difficult.

"Then what sort of explanation does Senior Gu He wish this junior to provide?"

Hearing this, Yun Shenwei asked in return.
