Pill Duel

Pill Duel

Nine Heavens Pavilion.

At this moment, Nine Heavens Pavilion was not as bustling as usual.

Because some unwelcome guests had come to Nine Heavens Pavilion today!

"Hey, has your Pavilion Master still not returned?"

Seeing that Fa Wutian had yet to appear, the Medicine Gang disciples behind Liu Yu grew impatient.

Hearing this, Han Yue, standing at the entrance, said coldly, "Sorry, our Pavilion Master isn't here. If you have business with him, please come back another day!"

Liu Yu's expression instantly darkened.

Over the past few days, they had come to Nine Heavens Pavilion looking for Fa Wutian no fewer than seven or eight times.

Yet he had never been around. And every time, the woman before them gave the same excuse.

This infuriated him somewhat.

After all, as the leader of a gang, he had already humbled himself many times! Yet the other party had never once shown him any respect!

Thinking this, Liu Yu snorted coldly and secretly gave his subordinates a look.

His subordinates immediately understood.

"Hey, is your Pavilion Master scared? Otherwise, why doesn't he dare show his face?"

Hearing the Medicine Gang members dare to slander their Pavilion Master, the people of Nine Heavens Pavilion immediately retorted, "What are you saying?! Our Pavilion Master isn't someone who fears trouble!"

"You're just deceiving yourselves! Who knows what kind of trash he really is behind the scenes!"

Han Yue's expression grew increasingly ugly at those words.

She knew that if she could not give them an explanation today, this group would likely refuse to let the matter rest!

But the problem was, she did not know where Fa Wutian had gone either!

She only knew that Fa Wutian had gone to recruit high-level combat strength for Nine Heavens Pavilion.

And he had not told her when he would return!

After thinking for a moment, Han Yue decided to stabilize the situation first.

After all, if they truly provoked the other side, they would not be a match for them!

With that thought, Han Yue said, "Liu Yu, if you truly wish to see our Pavilion Master, come back tomorrow! We genuinely don't know where he went! Even if we want to bring him back, it will take time!"

Liu Yu fell into thought upon hearing this.

The woman's expression did not seem like she was lying. Could Fa Wutian really have been absent from Nine Heavens Pavilion all this time?

Thinking of the Purefire Pills that Nine Heavens Pavilion could not keep in stock, he finally confirmed that Fa Wutian truly was not in Nine Heavens Pavilion!

"Since your Pavilion Master isn't here, we won't disturb you. But I hope that when we come tomorrow, he will be at Nine Heavens Pavilion. Otherwise, I can't guarantee what my men might do!"

After stopping his subordinates' clamor, Liu Yu spoke with a cold face.

After saying that, he turned and left.

Seeing this, the Medicine Gang members immediately followed him out of Nine Heavens Pavilion.

Watching their retreating backs, Han Yue let out a sigh of relief.

Then she began to worry again.

"I hope Fa Wutian can return soon!"

"If anything truly happens to Nine Heavens Pavilion, I'm afraid I won't be able to answer for it either!"

After all, Fa Wutian had entrusted Nine Heavens Pavilion to her management precisely because he trusted her.

If this matter caused Nine Heavens Pavilion to suffer severe losses, or even be destroyed, how could she explain herself to Fa Wutian?

Just as Han Yue was anxiously fretting, Fa Wutian had already returned from the Burning Sky Qi Refining Tower!

"Fa Wutian, you're finally back!"

The moment she saw Fa Wutian, Han Yue's face immediately lit up with delight.

Then she noticed something was wrong.

"Why are you alone? Where is the guardian expert you went to find?"

Fa Wutian explained helplessly, "There was a small accident along the way. I didn't find her!"

Han Yue was deeply disappointed upon hearing this.

"Huh? Does that mean you gained nothing from this trip?"

"You can't say that! At the very least, I successfully broke through to the Dou Spirit realm!"

Han Yue looked somewhat shocked.

"You broke through to Dou Spirit?!!"

After coming to her senses, she finally understood why Fa Wutian had taken so long just to find someone.

It turned out that after failing to find that person, he had gone to improve his own strength.

Still, that was good too!

After all, Nine Heavens Pavilion now had a Dou Spirit-level expert as well!

Although this was nothing to the old-established powers of the Inner Academy, it was an enormous improvement for Nine Heavens Pavilion!

Because Fa Wutian was Nine Heavens Pavilion's living billboard. As long as he displayed his potential, there would definitely be older students who were still wavering and willing to join!

Once the results met their expectations, they could fully contend against the old-established powers!

"Right, I saw you looking troubled just now. Is something bothering you?"

Hearing Fa Wutian's question, Han Yue immediately complained, "Isn't this all because of you?!"

"Because of me?"

Hearing that he was the cause, Fa Wutian was completely baffled.

He had only just returned. How had he offended her again?

"Just now, Liu Yu, the leader of the Medicine Gang, came looking for you with a group of people. He said he wanted to compete with you in pill refining and decide the future pill market! And over the past half month, they've already come seven or eight times. Yet you never returned! So he finally lost patience and let his subordinates stir things up! If I hadn't been clever, I'm afraid you wouldn't even get to see Nine Heavens Pavilion anymore!"

"You've worked hard! Leave the rest to me!"

Only after hearing Han Yue's explanation did Fa Wutian understand what had happened.

It seemed the Purefire Pills he refined had taken away their profits.

Otherwise, there was no reason for the Medicine Gang to come after them!

However, the pie was only so large. If Nine Heavens Pavilion wanted to survive, it was bound to take away the interests of other factions!

Therefore, Fa Wutian was quite willing to accept the Medicine Gang's pill-refining challenge.

Because when it came to alchemy, he was not afraid!

After all, both were Fourth-Rank Alchemists, but not only did he possess Yao Wushuang's alchemy inheritance, his soul power was also countless times stronger than the other party's!

If he still lost under those circumstances, he might as well smash his head against a block of tofu and die!

Seeing Fa Wutian lost in thought, Han Yue assumed he lacked confidence and could not help comforting him. "Fa Wutian, it's fine! Even if you lose, it won't be anything shameful. After all, he has been a Fourth-Rank Alchemist for a long time. You only entered the fourth rank recently, so it would be understandable if you lost to him!"

Fa Wutian immediately rolled his eyes.

"Do you really have so little confidence in me?"

Han Yue froze at his words, then gave an embarrassed smile. "H-how could that be? How could I not have confidence in you? I just... I'm afraid you'll be upset if you lose!"

"Upset? Heh heh~~"

Fa Wutian gave a cold laugh.

"Someone will definitely be upset! But that person absolutely won't be me!"

After all, losing part of the pill market would likely hurt even the Medicine Gang for quite some time!

Seeing Fa Wutian so confident, Han Yue could not say anything more.

She could only silently pray that Fa Wutian would win!
