Immortal-Exterminating Divine Venerable

”What’s wrong with this Heaven Repairing Pill?”

Elder Yao was a little displeased.

In his view, Wang Qianhe had already knelt and apologized. If Yang Xiao were a bigger person, he should have taken the opportunity to let this go.

No matter what, Wang Qianhe was the disciple he had once valued the most.

Even if his character was a bit flawed, he was still considered a genius in the Pharmacist Realm. More importantly, he was currently the Chief of the Purple Sun Sect’s Medicine Peak, and ostensibly their only Fifth-level Great Pharmacist.

A little setback, a lesson learned—that should be enough.

Yang Xiao’s refusal to let it go made him feel that Yang Xiao was being unreasonable.

However, given Yang Xiao’s previous outstanding performance, Elder Yao still took the Heaven Repairing Pill and opened it for a look.

”It is indeed a wasted pill, and it’s full of pill toxins. Fortunately, you didn’t consume it.”

Elder Yao said lightly after inspecting it.

”Is that all?”

Yang Xiao, however, seemed dissatisfied.

”There’s more?”

This time, not only was Elder Yao confused, but Cheng Boxuan behind him was also baffled, not knowing what Yang Xiao meant.

”Wang Qianhe said he needed to perform Alchemy on a Heaven Repairing Pill, and he told my father to prepare a Tier Four Barbaric Beast Core. To get this Core, my father repeatedly overexerted his vital energy and contracted a blood-wasting disease. Seven of my sworn brothers died because of that Barbaric Beast before we finally obtained the Fire Cloud Python’s Inner Core!”

”On top of that, he asked my father for no less than ten stalks of Fourth-Grade Spirit Medicine to be used as supplementary ingredients. Among them were the Red Blood Fruit, the Five-Flower Mysterious Root, and the Nine Nether Earth Lotus... a total of ten types of Fourth-Grade Spirit Medicine!”

”Now, I ask you, Elder Yao, can you sense the aura of an Inner Core or any of those Spirit Medicines in this pill?”

As soon as these words were spoken, Elder Yao’s expression changed.

There was none.

Not even the residual aura of a single Spirit Medicine.

Although it was a wasted pill and its medicinal properties were damaged, it was impossible for not even a trace of its properties to remain.

If what Yang Xiao said was true, then Wang Qianhe hadn’t just deceived the father and son to protect his reputation after failing the Alchemy.

It was a premeditated plot to seize the medicinal ingredients.

He might have even intended to commit murder.

The nature of this act was completely different from before.

”Good, good, very good! Wang Qianhe, is this true?”

Elder Yao was furious, his whole body trembling with anger.

At this moment, he finally understood why Yang Xiao was targeting Wang Qianhe so relentlessly, refusing to let him off.

Such a deep grudge, such a venomous mind.

Who could possibly endure it?

”Master, no, it’s not like that! They’re framing me! I didn’t refine this wasted pill!”

Wang Qianhe cried out.

”You say you didn’t refine it? Perhaps you really didn’t. But as long as you’ve attempted to refine this so-called Heaven Repairing Pill, there will be traces. Elder Yao, I wish to search his Alchemy Room. A single search will reveal whether he truly failed the refinement or if this is a plot to steal ingredients and commit murder!”

”This...”

Elder Yao hesitated.

But Wang Qianhe shouted, ”I am the esteemed Chief of Medicine Peak! My status is noble! How can I allow you to enter my Alchemy Room? Absolutely not!”

With that, he stood up.

His bloodshot eyes glared at Yang Xiao, devoid of any hint of apology or remorse. All that remained was endless resentment.

It was as if Yang Xiao were the one who had deceived him and murdered his family.

”Master, I believe Yang Xiao.”

At this moment, Cheng Boxuan spoke up.

Elder Yao glanced at him, still hesitant.

’How could I not believe Yang Xiao?’

It was just that, no matter what, Wang Qianhe was still his disciple and, moreover, the Chief of the Purple Sun Sect’s Medicine Peak. If this matter were confirmed...

...the reputation of the Purple Sun Sect’s Medicine Peak would be utterly ruined.

This was something he did not want to see.

Besides, he still wanted to try and salvage the situation with Wang Qianhe.

But just then, Yang Xiao spoke. ”I have also heard of the Heaven Repairing Pill. It is indeed an Ancient Pill, but it requires the Four Ancient Wondrous Flowers to be refined: the Celestial Snow Lotus, the Thousand-leaf Phoenix, the Other Shore Blood Orchid, and the Ten Thousand Transformations Green Plum. Once refined, it is guaranteed to be an Upper-Grade Divine Pill, capable of mending any congenital defects in all living things between heaven and earth. That is why it’s called the Heaven Repairing Pill.”

”As for the Tier Four Barbaric Beast Core, Red Blood Fruit, Nine Nether Earth Lotus, and other items Wang Qianhe required... I’m afraid what he intended to refine was not the Heaven Repairing Pill, but a vicious Level 6 Pill, the Thousand Poison Pill! This Thousand Poison Pill is intensely toxic, yet its appearance is simple and unadorned, much like an Ancient Strange Pill. It is best suited for use against Pharmacists obsessed with the Alchemy Dao—for example, you, Elder Yao!”

As soon as these words were spoken, Elder Yao’s expression changed drastically.

It wasn’t just him; all the upper echelons of the Purple Sun Sect present paled.

As for Wang Qianhe, his heart leaped into his throat.

’I’ve been exposed!’

’I’ve actually been exposed!’

”You—you’re talking nonsense!”

Wang Qianhe roared.

But he lacked conviction, his eyes darting about.

”If none of you believe me, you can search his Alchemy Room. I’m certain there will be traces of the Thousand Poison Pill. Moreover, given his level in the Medicine Dao, even with the help of a Tier Four Fierce Beast Core, refining a Level 6 Thousand Poison Pill would take him over a month. He must still be in the process of refining it now.”

”A single search will tell you everything!”

”Wang Qianhe is, after all, the Chief of our Purple Sun Sect’s Medicine Peak. His Alchemy Room certainly cannot be searched by just anyone.”

Just as everyone was shocked, suspicious, and wavering, Ye Zongling suddenly spoke.

”Oh? Old thing, are you trying to cover for him?”

Yang Xiao was not the least bit courteous.

”Hmph?”

Ye Zongling’s expression changed, and the aura of a Martial Arts Grandmaster instantly pressed down upon Yang Xiao.

If this had been right after his rebirth, Yang Xiao might have feared him a little.

But now, a starlight flashed across his body, and Yang Xiao stood firm.

No matter how strong or fierce that aura was, it couldn’t move him an inch.

This made Ye Zongling’s expression change once more.

’How can this boy be so powerful?’

”Ye Zongling, you old coot! All you know is how to strike at your juniors. If you have the guts, why don’t you try fighting me, Yang Zhentian!”

At this moment, Yang Zhentian stepped forward.

The aura around his body intensified, Layer by Layer. Although he was only at the Peak of Innate Realm Ninth Layer, his presence was not the slightest bit weaker than that of the Martial Arts Grandmaster, Ye Zongling.

Seeing his father step in, Yang Xiao stopped looking at Ye Zongling. Instead, he smiled slightly and addressed everyone, ”Today, this Wang Qianhe can plot against my father and me. Tomorrow, he could just as easily plot against you. His heart is venomous, he has no integrity or virtue, and he possesses no real talent. Are you all going to cover for him?”

”If that’s the case, then my father and I have no reason to stay in this Purple Sun Sect!”

As soon as these words were spoken, Elder Yao’s expression changed.

Yang Xiao was a genius, a prodigy in the Pharmacist Realm. His future was absolutely not something a mere Wang Qianhe could compare to.

At that moment, he no longer hesitated in the slightest. He practically shouted, ”Search! Someone, go and search for me! See if this disgrace is truly as Young Friend Yang described.”

”Yes, sir!”

As his voice fell, Cheng Boxuan, looking excited, led several Great Pharmacists towards Medicine Peak.

”You little bastard, I’ll kill you! As long as you’re dead! No matter what I’ve done, that old man will still protect me! It’s all your fault! DIE!”

Just then, Wang Qianhe suddenly erupted. He threw himself at Yang Xiao, his killing intent blazing. At the side, Yang Zhentian was just about to protect his son.

Ye Zongling made his move.

His aura locked onto Yang Zhentian, immobilizing him for at least the span of a single breath.

A glint flashed in Wang Qianhe’s eyes, which were filled with triumph.

’This little bastard is dead for sure!’
