Chapter 99: Breaking Into Pill Pavilion
The boy felt helpless but had to lead Yi Qianmo to Pill Pavilion.
What Yi Qianmo didn’t know was that his movements in the inner mansion were reported to Minister Professor Yu. When Yu learned that he first went to Treasure Pavilion, he was a bit puzzled.
But when he found out that Yi Qianmo left Treasure Pavilion and went straight to Pill Pavilion, Minister Professor Yu suddenly smiled.
"Minister Professor, why are you laughing?"
Next to him stood a person, who was Wu Qing, recently joined the Shu School.
"I laugh because this guy doesn’t know what’s good for him."
Minister Professor Yu said, "I was worried that the people from Tao School would not have a reason to act, but now it’s good. He has even offended the sect master of Tao School!"
"He thinks that because he is the future husband of the Grand Princess, he can do whatever he wants and truly believes this is his home."
Wu Qing said.
"The people from Tao School are not to be underestimated, especially this sect master. Although he seems reasonable, he is actually very ruthless."
Minister Professor Yu said, "Just wait, when he enters the Tao School’s dojo, he will have a hard time!"
"But no matter how much Tao School targets him, they probably wouldn’t dare to kill him."
Wu Qing said.
"For now, there is no need to kill him. As long as he does not get any resources, he will have a hard time moving in the inner mansion!"
Minister Professor Yu smiled and said, "Besides, the people from Tao School cannot handle him, so our Shu School can take action ourselves."
"How can the Shu School take action?"
Wu Qing asked curiously.
"Every year, Tao School and Shu School hold a big competition to decide the resource distribution for the next year. At that time, King Yan and the Mansion Master will watch."
Minister Professor Yu said, "This is the most important event for Tianyuan Academy. As Yi Qianmo is the future prince, he cannot just stand by!"
Wu Qing immediately understood what he meant and smiled, saying, "Now that Yi Qianmo has offended Tao School, he will find it hard to move. During the competition, without resources, his skills will not improve much. Then…"
"Then, we can rightfully kill him!"
Minister Professor Yu said.
Just as Minister Professor Yu was arranging everything, at the top of Tao School’s mountain, the middle-aged man learned that Yi Qianmo had not yet arrived and had gone to Pill Pavilion instead, and his expression suddenly darkened.
"Well, that’s just great!"
The middle-aged man smiled gloomily and said, "I think he doesn’t plan to enter Tao School, so if that’s the case, then let’s not leave a spot for him in Tao School!"
At the same time, Yi Qianmo had already arrived outside Pill Pavilion. The building of Pill Pavilion is a huge Pill Furnace, but inside this Pill Furnace, there is a hidden world.
Of course, this is not a real Pill Furnace, but a building shaped like one.
Before they could enter the main door, they were stopped by someone. Two disciples dressed in robes coldly glanced at them and said, "What do you want?"
The young man swallowed hard and immediately stepped back. Yi Qianmo stepped forward and said, "I am Yi Qianmo, a disciple of the Tao School, here to visit Minister Professor Zhou. Please announce my arrival."
"Yi Qianmo?"
The two people glanced at him, and one of them said, "Are you the Yi Qianmo who scored the highest in the big exam? I heard you used to be a gate crasher?"
Hearing their rude remarks, Yi Qianmo frowned and said, "Are you going to spread rumors?"
The two laughed when they heard Yi Qianmo speak so boldly. The leader sneered, "If we don’t spread rumors, would you still dare to break in? You should look in the mirror; this is Pill Pavilion, and you are not even the prince of Yan Kingdom. Besides, even if you became the prince of Yan Kingdom, if we don’t let you in, you will have to stay outside!"
Yi Qianmo was instantly furious. He had no grievance with these two, and he had been extremely polite. Not only did he get treated coldly, but he was also mocked.
As Yi Qianmo gripped the hilt of his sword, ready to force his way in, the young man quickly stepped forward to stop him, saying, "Brother, you can’t break in here!"
Yi Qianmo quickly dodged around him and said, "Then I really want to try to break in!"
With his strength, these two disciples could not stop him. He flashed past them and stepped into Pill Pavilion. The two disciples saw him enter and instantly became furious.
"Someone is breaking into Pill Pavilion!" the leader shouted loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, several experts at the ninth level of the Qi Refining Stage suddenly appeared inside Pill Pavilion, blocking Yi Qianmo. They were all dressed in black armor, clearly the royal Black Armored Guards.
"Get out!"
Several Black Armored Guards shouted angrily.
Yi Qianmo did not expect that there were Black Armored Guards at the ninth level of the Qi Refining Stage inside; they were much stronger than Xiao Xiao, whom he had killed with one sword strike, and there were five of them.
When they shouted in unison, Yi Qianmo felt a strong killing intent coming at him; if it were an ordinary cultivator, they would probably have been scared to the point of trembling.
But he did not tremble nor did he intend to leave. Holding the hilt of the Repel Evil sword, he said, "Is Pill Pavilion a forbidden area? Why can’t I enter!"
The five Black Armored Guards did not reply; they only drew their swords halfway, revealing their sharp blades that glimmered coldly, filled with killing intent.
"Do you really think this place is your home!"
Two disciples guarding the door walked in and looked at him with cold smiles, "Entering the Pill Pavilion without permission will lead to a punishment of one hundred strikes!"
The young man outside saw that things were not going well and hurriedly slipped away.
Yi Qianmo frowned, but just then, a voice came from inside, saying, "Everyone, step back!"
"Deacon Wang!"
The two gatekeepers looked at the person who came out, their faces full of respect.
The five Black Armored Guards immediately stepped back but did not leave.
"Deacon Wang, this person forced his way into the Pill Pavilion, really being very arrogant. If there is no punishment, what will happen to the dignity of our Pill Pavilion!"
The leading disciple said.
The Deacon Wang glanced at Yi Qianmo, then looked at him and said, "He is a guest of Minister Professor Zhou, how dare you two stop him? Do you not want to stay in the Pill Pavilion any longer?"
Hearing this, the two immediately knelt on the ground, trembling and said, "We… we did not know he was a guest of the Minister Professor, we…"
"Take them away and give them thirty strikes each!" Deacon Wang said coldly.
The two disciples did not beg for mercy; instead, they respectfully bowed and left with the Black Armored Guard.
"Follow me."
Deacon Wang turned around and walked further inside.
Yi Qianmo quickly followed and quietly asked, "Does Minister Professor Zhou know I am coming?"
"Yes," Deacon Wang replied coldly. "If you dare to break in again, no matter who is backing you, you must follow the rules of Pill Pavilion. Do you understand?"
Yi Qianmo let out a wry smile and nodded.
Soon, he was taken to a small courtyard inside Pill Pavilion, and Deacon Wang gestured for him to enter, saying, "Minister Professor is waiting for you inside."
Yi Qianmo walked in and saw that the courtyard was warm; inside was the Pill Room, where Minister Professor Zhou was sitting next to the Pill Furnace, using spiritual power to refine medicine, without time to pay attention to him.
Yi Qianmo decided to sit down and watch.
Although he did not know what rank Pill Master Minister Professor Zhou was, he could tell at a glance that Minister Professor Zhou’s Pill Furnace was quite nice; it was actually a spiritual treasure!
However, after watching for a while, he lost interest because Minister Professor Zhou’s alchemy skills were quite unpleasant to see.
Just as he began to examine other things in the room, Minister Professor Zhou frowned slightly and said, "What’s wrong? You seem to look down on me!"
