“Then there’s no other way.”
Mo Yan shook her head. Although she looked a bit regretful, her tone was somewhat schadenfreude.
“The Qingmai Pill you need has already been prepared to be handed over to Elder Gongsun.”
Ren Bin was taken aback for a moment, then he turned his gaze towards Gongsun Yu, whom he had just scolded.
The old man chuckled:”Haha, I need to break through the intermediate stage of Liao Xu, so I specifically asked the Sect Leader for the medicine.”
There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone:”Ren Bin, you’ve been waiting for so long. You can’t be bothered to wait a little longer, right? Just wait until the alchemists in the Dan Pavilion make another one.”
Ren Bin frowned, and only then did he sense that the old man’s aura was indeed different from before.
He sighed:”Elder Gongsun seems to have some misunderstandings.”
“I haven’t been able to cultivate for six years. The Qingmai Pill is of no use to me.”
“To be honest, it’s my disciple who needs the Qingmai Pill. She encountered some problems in her cultivation and her meridians were damaged.”
He shifted his gaze from Gongsun Yu to Mo Yan, who was sitting behind the table:”Sect Leader, according to the sect’s regulations, injured disciples have priority in using the pills. Please give me this pill.”
“Humph, impossible!”
Gongsun Yu glared and shouted again:”In these six years, you haven’t even come down the mountain. When did you have a disciple?”
“Even if you did take on a disciple, your disciple didn’t participate in the sect’s disciple selection. She has no right to enjoy the treatment of the sect’s disciples!”
Ren Bin’s eyes were strange:”Is that so?”
“But wasn’t the Sect Leader also a disciple secretly taken in by the previous Sect Leader? I don’t remember her participating in the disciple selection either.”
Mo Yan and Gongsun Yu’s faces changed.
“In the sect’s regulations, the position of Sect Leader can only be inherited by the sect’s disciples. Are you implying that the current Sect Leader is not qualified?”
Alas, the Sect Leader’s homework hasn’t been done well enough.
Even such a basic rule hasn’t been remembered clearly.
Shameless thief!
Gongsun Yu cursed in his heart, but his body instinctively knelt down to Mo Yan immediately.
“Sect Leader, I………………””Elder Gongsun, if I’m not mistaken, the Sect Leader and the Peak Leader have the right to take on disciples personally.”
Mo Yan didn’t give Gongsun Yu a chance to speak.
“As an elder with considerable prestige, if you can’t even remember these regulations, won’t you lose the face of the sect in public?”
“…………………Please punish me, Sect Leader.”
Gongsun Yu’s face was gloomy, and he had no choice but to lower his stance and accept the punishment.
“Carve the sect rules at the cliff of Da Ming Peak.”
“Yes.”
He looked up nervously:”Sect Leader, then….. the Qingmai Pill………………””I promised to give it to you. How could I easily change my mind?”
Her gaze turned to Ren Bin:”As the leader of a peak, you should also know the principle of first come, first served.”
“Moreover, it is very important for the whole sect that Elder Gongsun is going to break through the intermediate stage of Liao Xu.”
“Go back, or seek medicine elsewhere.”
Mo Yan waved her hand and dismissed Ren Bin.
At this time, a disciple in the Dan Pavilion’s robe also walked into the room, holding a wooden box.
The box was half open, and inside was the blue and white Qingmai Pill.
“If there’s nothing else, leave quickly and don’t linger here.”
Gongsun Yu stood up and walked past Ren Bin, who was lowering his head and silent, and couldn’t help but mock:”Don’t really think of yourself as the Peak Leader. Your Hua Zhu Peak has long been deserted, leaving only a bunch of good-for-nothings.”
Then, he was about to reach out to take the pill.
But a hand took the Qingmai Pill in front of him before he could.
“? ? ? ! “
Under the puzzled and shocked gaze of the elders, Ren Bin turned around and unhesitatingly took the medicine.
“Outrageous!”
Mo Yan stood up, her face flushed with anger:”Ren Bin, put the medicine down!”
“There’s no other way, Sect Leader.”
Ren Bin shook his head and then put the medicine back into his Hundred Treasures Bag.
“I must take this pill today. There’s no chance of giving it to others.”
“19……”
Mo Yan sneered.
“What qualifications do you have to take the sect’s medicine so brazenly here?”
“This Qingmai Pill was obtained by Elder Gongsun and the achievements of the disciples of Da Ming Peak. What has your Hua Zhu Peak done for the sect?!”
Ren Bin’s gaze was stunned, and when he looked at Mo Yan again, the latter shivered for no apparent reason.
“Mo Yan, as the leader of a sect, don’t you think what you said is ridiculous?”
His tone remained unchanged, but Mo Yan felt a chill from the depths of her soul.
“The disaster six years ago, in the whole sect, Hua Zhu Peak accounted for seventy percent of the deaths, twenty elders, eighteen died, one was severely injured, and the Peak Leader was seriously injured and closed the death pass.”
“After I ascended to the position of Peak Leader, have I ever asked you for anything?”
He paused:”After the incident of Hua Zhu Peak, you also let other peaks divide the resources of Hua Zhu Peak at will. Whether it was spirit stones, pills, or secret books, they were all divided clean.”
“Have I ever complained to you once?”
Mo Yan stood there, pursing her red lips, and was speechless for a moment.
At that time, she was also forced to take office.
In order to stabilize the other peaks, she tacitly allowed the division of Hua Zhu Peak.
Now that Ren Bin has brought up the past, what reason does she have to argue back?
“Outrageous, outrageous!!!”
Mo Yan didn’t speak, but Gongsun Yu was furious.
He had been coveting the Qingmai Pill for a long time. How could he just give it to someone else so easily?
“How dare you have such an attitude towards the Sect Leader? This is mutiny!”
His right hand clenched into a fist, with spiritual energy surging darkly.”Arrogant and reckless, today I will teach you a lesson for the Sect Leader………………He sneered inwardly.
He had long been discontented with Ren Bin.
In the past, Ren Bin was arrogant and suppressed Da Ming Peak, making it unable to turn over.
Now that he has become a good-for-nothing, does he still think of himself as the former genius?
Ren Bin, without his sword intent, can be easily dealt with even at the initial stage of Liao Xu!
But just as his fist was thrown out, a scroll of painting slipped out from Ren Bin’s sleeve.
With the paper flying, a black fist suddenly burst out from the painting and collided with Gongsun Yu’s fist.
The fist wind swept the entire room, and with a scream of pain, Gongsun Yu was smashed heavily against the wall, his right hand a bloody mess.
The black fist slowly loosened, and another hand stretched out from the painting, holding both ends of the scroll, and then the whole body stepped out of the painting.
Ignoring the pain in his right hand, Gongsun Yu looked ahead and then froze.
Although it was only in ink and wash colors, he was all too familiar with the “person” who came out of the painting.
“Do you still remember him, Gongsun Yu?”
Ren Bin spoke indifferently:”Zhuyuan, the elder of Huazhu Peak.”
“A fellow fist cultivator, I seem to recall he was your senior, right?”
All the elders around were short of breath, their hearts trembling in shock.
How could they not recognize the chief elder of Huazhu Peak?
The straightforward old fist cultivator whose moves were as swift as thunder.
“Zhuyuan……………… How could this be? How could this be………………Gongsun Yu’s whole body was trembling, staring at the ink-washed figure.
It was exactly the same as the figure in his memory.
A sturdy figure, with a beard, and a bandit-like air on his face.
The only difference was the absence of the familiar smile, his face stern, as if watching over prey.
“Before Elder Zhuyuan was buried, I specially kept a piece of his flesh and blood.”
Ren Bin retracted the painting, and the ink-washed Zhuyuan also disappeared.
“After six years, I have finally reached the realm where I can paint him out.”
“Gongsun Yu, what do you think, how much strength of Elder Zhuyuan does my painting have?”
Not only Gongsun Yu, but also Mo Yan and the elders’ spirits received a third shock.
They were all too clear about what Ren Bin’s words meant.
Moreover, he made no attempt to conceal the aura around him.
Painting Intent at the eighth level, Painting Body.
Ink as flesh, brush as bone.
Mo Yan’s mouth was slightly open, staring blankly at Ren Bin.
When did he become a painting cultivator?
