Chapter 134: Pill Master, You Cannot Do This

Yi Qianmo had just gone to the Pill Pavilion when he received news of Xu Shiping’s death, which surprised him; he didn’t expect Wang Qiang to dare directly eliminate the sect master of Tao School.

"You better be careful, although the sect master of Tao School is just the leader of the disciples and holds no real power, Wang Qiang seems determined to take revenge this time!"

Minister Professor Zhou warned, "You’d better stay quietly in the Pill Pavilion; don’t even go out of the inner mansion."

"What if I go out of the inner mansion?"

Yi Qianmo asked.

"Once they left the inner mansion, the Mansion Master and King Yan could no longer help each other."

Minister Professor Zhou said, "You are very important to the academy right now."

"Since I am so important to the academy, why not return the sword to me? That way, I can protect myself," Yi Qianmo said.

"Even if you somehow manage to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage, you are underestimating the power of a Fake Golden Core Realm expert."

Minister Professor Zhou said, "Even I cannot deal with a Fake Golden Core Realm expert; Wang Qiang is currently a Fake Golden Core Realm."

Yi Qianmo’s face suddenly became serious. He had thought Wang Qiang was only at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, but he didn’t expect him to be a Fake Golden Core Realm.

"As for that sword, if you enter the Foundation Establishment Stage, the Old Pavilion Lord will naturally return it to you. For now, stay in the inner mansion and focus on your training, and do not cause trouble."

Minister Professor Zhou said.

Yi Qianmo felt helpless, but he needed to get back the Repel Evil Sword; otherwise, his strength would drop significantly.

Moreover, his biggest worry still came from the threat of Tang Gate.

After leaving Pill Pavilion, Yi Qianmo, led by Little Fish, arrived at his own mansion.

Every Minister Professor has their own special mansion, which is actually a cave. The spirit Qi inside is many times stronger than the spirit Qi at the highest level of Tao School.

This place originally belonged to Yu Mou, but was now directly given to Yi Qianmo. Yi Qianmo was not polite and immediately changed the name of the mansion to Yi Qianmo’s mansion, just like at Tao School.

Upon entering the mansion, Yi Qianmo did not begin to absorb spirit Qi to cultivate; instead, he took out the crystal ball and awakened Old Bai.

After Old Bai woke up, he gave Yi Qianmo a glance before starting to activate the crystal ball.

He first looked at the Yi family in Green Cloud City and saw that his grandfather was meditating without any problems. Everything in Green Cloud City seemed normal, and it was clear that the news from Tianyuan Academy had not yet reached there.

Then he looked at Yu Mou and found that this guy was planning how to take revenge, but he had not found a way yet. Next, he looked at Wang Qiang.

Wang Qiang had indeed sent someone to spy on him, and at that moment, he was listening to reports about Yi Qianmo’s whereabouts. Upon learning that Yi Qianmo had entered the mansion, he could only grit his teeth in anger.

Yi Qianmo had a sudden idea to ask Old Bai to check what the Mansion Master was doing. Today’s events had kept Yi Qianmo feeling uneasy; he did not know if the Mansion Master had truly seen through the Repel Evil Sword.

If he had seen through it, with his skills, he would probably not let such a sword go!

Soon, the figure of the Mansion Master appeared in the scene, but just as he looked over, the Mansion Master suddenly raised his head and looked back.

Even through the crystal ball, Yi Qianmo could feel the terrifying pressure in that gaze. With a wave of Old Bai’s hand, the image of the Mansion Master disappeared.

Meanwhile, inside the Mansion Master’s residence, the Mansion Master frowned and muttered to himself, "Hmm! Why do I feel like someone is watching? Could it be King Yan? No, my residence has protective barriers; with his skills, he couldn’t possibly catch me off guard. It cannot be him… Could it be my imagination?"

Inside the cave, Yi Qianmo swallowed hard. He did not know what this crystal ball was, but he sensed the fearsome presence of the Mansion Master.

In the end, he asked Old Bai to check on Yu Youwei, but there was still no image appearing, which puzzled Yi Qianmo.

"Could it be that she left Yan Kingdom?"

Yi Qianmo frowned, "Let’s look at that Elder from the Tang Gate."

Old Bai activated the crystal ball, and a carriage appeared inside it. Soon, the figure of the old man emerged, causing Yi Qianmo’s expression to change. This was indeed the Elder of the Tang Gate.

However, Yi Qianmo found it strange that this Tang Gate Elder, who was also at the Golden Core Stage, did not notice him watching.

"Well, this means that the Mansion Master’s power must be much greater than that of this Tang Gate Elder!"

Yi Qianmo felt reassured, "Since I can see him, it means this guy is already within the Yan Kingdom. Even if he is not inside the Yan Kingdom, he is close to it!"

A Golden Core Stage!

Yi Qianmo felt overwhelmed, "It looks like I really can only stay inside the Academy now. But this isn’t a long-term solution. I cannot remain here forever; I must strengthen my power. At least I need to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage to protect myself."

He did not doubt the abilities of Tianyuan Academy.

It was just that today’s events made him understand a deeper truth: without power, one is nothing!

Today, the Mansion Master could sell Yu Mou, so if one day the Academy faced an even greater threat because of him and had to make a choice, the Mansion Master could also heartlessly sell him.

The so-called rules are nothing in the face of strength.

Yi Qianmo quickly put away the crystal ball and began to absorb the spirit Qi in the mansion to practice.

During this time, Yu Mou clearly had no time to train, so the mansion gathered plenty of spirit Qi, and its quality was higher than that of the Tao School.

Half a month later!

Yi Qianmo fully absorbed all the spirit Qi, raising his level from the early stage of the eighth level of the Qi Refining Stage to its peak, just one step away from entering the ninth level of the Qi Refining Stage.

This was the result of compressing his achievements using the Yandang Formula. Although he had only reached the peak, his strength far exceeded that of two weeks ago.

After using Repel Evil, his depleted energy had almost fully recovered, which made Yi Qianmo a little regretful for previously using the dragon turtle egg to enhance his cultivation.

That egg restored his energy and increased his cultivation, but more than half of its power was absorbed by the Sword Pill; he himself might not have even absorbed one-tenth.

"I should save this thing for when I reach the Foundation Establishment Stage!"

Yi Qianmo thought to himself, "If I want to reach the peak of the ninth level of the Qi Refining Stage, I will need to use pills!"

But he was not ready to use that first-grade Body Origin Fixing Pill; he had reserved it for himself to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

After absorbing the spirit Qi, Yi Qianmo immediately left his home and went to the Pill Pavilion.

When he arrived at the Pill Pavilion, Minister Professor Zhou smiled and said, "Good job, young man! Your skills have improved since the last time, but you must understand, haste makes waste!"

"Then give me my sword back!" Yi Qianmo said impatiently, "If you return my sword, I will train slowly."

"No way!"

Minister Professor Zhou said, "Why don’t you listen to advice? That sword is a demon sword; if you use it before reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage, you might suffer from Qi deviation!"

"Why is the Foundation Establishment Stage so important?" Yi Qianmo asked.

"Because the Foundation Establishment Stage is a turning point; the Foundation established here is the Taoist Foundation!"

Minister Professor Zhou said, "Once you build your Taoist Foundation, even if this sword has a magic nature, you will have a strong Taoist Foundation to control it, and you won’t easily go astray. So, the Mansion Master is actually being very thoughtful."

Although he spoke sweetly, Yi Qianmo did not believe that the Mansion Master was truly being thoughtful. He said, "Don’t think I don’t know. To reach the Foundation Establishment Stage, you must have a Spiritual Root. If I don’t have a Spiritual Root, then I can only practice dark magic!"

"No, you have a talent for psychic power!"

Minister Professor Zhou said, "Even if you spend your whole life at the Qi Refining Stage, as long as you can refine pills, you will still be admired by the world. Even the old masters of the Golden Core Stage will have to listen to you!"

"But if that’s the case, I won’t be able to get my sword back!" Yi Qianmo said. "So, the Mansion Master is hoping that I don’t have inspiration, and will take my sword away?"

Minister Professor Zhou was speechless.

"Alright, I won’t argue with you. Just tell me, when will you give me my contribution points?"

Yi Qianmo said.

"What contribution points?" Minister Professor Zhou asked in surprise.

"The contribution points are for me being the Deputy Pavilion Lord, right? Didn’t you say there are five thousand each month? Why don’t I have any in my nameplate yet?"

Yi Qianmo asked.

"You haven’t even been in the academy for a month, and you haven’t been the Deputy Pavilion Lord for a month either."

Minister Professor Zhou said, "Besides, why do you need so many contribution points?"

"Of course, to exchange for materials to make elixirs."

Yi Qianmo said.

Minister Professor Zhou smiled and said, "Are you planning to make elixirs?"

Yi Qianmo couldn’t be bothered to reply to him.

But Minister Professor Zhou cheerfully pulled him along and said, "Then why are you exchanging for materials? Just make an announcement in the Pill Pavilion asking the students in the academy to provide the materials, and you can take a share of the elixirs you make!"

"Can it be like this?"

Yi Qianmo said in surprise.

"As a noble Pill Master, unless you are creating your own medicine, looking for materials yourself is a foolish action!"

Minister Professor Zhou said irritably, "A Pill Master shouldn’t do things like this; don’t embarrass us in this profession!"
