Chapter 677: Chapter 674: You Don’t Know Alchemy_1
Li Ruoxiang slowly said, “This gathering is actually our Green Lotus Sect’s internal Pill Battle Conference.”
“Pill Battle Conference, what is it all about?” Yang Chen became even more confused.
Li Ruoxiang stood with her hands behind her back, standing in front of the waterfall, her long hair fluttering: “Within the Green Lotus Sect, the strongest is recognized as the Supreme Elder, who is my master. He is the only Heaven Martial Realm powerhouse in our Green Lotus Sect and the pillar that keeps our sect standing!”
Yang Chen nodded, as he had expected, the Three Great Factions actually all had Heaven Martial Realm powerhouses to suppress them.
“However, my master, the Elder, hardly ever concerns himself with worldly affairs. This has led to our Green Lotus Sect not being as harmonious as it appears on the surface. It is divided into two major factions. One faction is led by the Great Elder, and the other by me, Li Ruoxiang.” Li Ruoxiang said.
Listening to these words, Yang Chen became thoughtful and could understand a little more.
Li Ruoxiang calmly said, “Our two factions each have disciples and their own strengths and weaknesses, and the way to distribute the profits gained by the Green Lotus Sect each year is through the competition of this Pill Battle Conference. Whoever sends out disciples who can win in this Pill Battle Conference will get a larger share of the profits.”
Yang Chen blinked his eyes, not too surprised by this.
Every faction is not as unified as it seems on the surface, and it’s not unusual for the Green Lotus Sect to be like this. As for the Pill Battle Conference, it’s just a way to determine who gets more and who gets less of the benefits.
The only consequence for failure is undoubtedly becoming the weaker side.
Li Ruoxiang is no exception. If she loses and doesn’t get much of the benefits, she will naturally show a disadvantage in future confrontations with the Great Elder.
It wasn’t hard to see from the anxiety in Li Ruoxiang’s eyes that she was quite troubled by this matter.
“As soon as I came back, the Great Elder set the date for the contest. Even if I don’t want to fight, it’s hard not to… Anyway, why am I telling you this? You don’t know alchemy. But since you’re here as my guest, you should go to the Pill Battle tomorrow as a guest and watch it.” Li Ruoxiang dropped these words.
“Well, that sounds good.” Yang Chen scratched his ears.
He didn’t know alchemy?
That’s true, Li Ruoxiang hadn’t seen him practicing alchemy.
As for watching the battle…
Anyway, he had nothing to do. It wouldn’t hurt to check it out tomorrow!
After he finished speaking, Li Ruoxiang didn’t say anything else. With a wave of her sleeve, a lotus flower appeared, carrying her away.
Yang Chen watched the beautiful woman leave under the moonlight, feeling a strange sensation in his heart.
Then, he turned around and went back to his residence.
Just after he returned, Yang Chen curiously asked, “Rainbow, I heard you say that you have a way to unlock this Gold and Silver Dragon Plate. What’s the deal with that? Can you really unlock this Gold and Silver Dragon Plate?”
“Young Master, this Gold and Silver Dragon Plate should be a spirit weapon for creating master-servant restrictions. What do you think is the principle of creating master-servant restrictions?” Rainbow asked with a smile.
“The principle… The principle should be prohibition. Once the essence blood is dripped in, it becomes one with the prohibition structure on the Gold and Silver Dragon Plate itself. These prohibitions can achieve master-servant restrictions through essence blood.” Yang Chen muttered to himself, and suddenly realized at the end: “Wait a minute, prohibition…”
“Young Master, now you understand. We might not have accomplished much under Elder Yu Ban, but we have inherited a lot of his teachings. We’ve been researching prohibitions quite a bit lately. If you give us the Gold and Silver Dragon Plate, we should be able to provide you with an answer after a few days of focused research!” Rainbow said.
Yang Chen understood, “So that’s how it is. You are familiar with prohibition. It’s more than appropriate to give you this Gold and Silver Dragon Plate, which is restricted by prohibition itself.”
With that said, Yang Chen naturally had no more hesitation, and directly handed the Gold and Silver Dragon Plate over to Rainbow and the other Mermaid girls through the Eight Extremities Flowing River Space.
If Rainbow and the other Mermaid girls could help him solve these problems, it would be a great relief for him.
In this way, time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was the second day.
Since Li Ruoxiang invited him, there was no reason for him not to go. And as Li Ruoxiang said, he was a guest of the Green Lotus Sect, and it wouldn’t be right for him not to attend their events. If he didn’t attend, he would be too much of an invisible guest.
When Yang Chen arrived, the Pill Battle Conference was almost ready. It was clear how grand the event was, with countless disciples, just like Li Ruoxiang, clearly divided into two camps. One camp was Li Ruoxiang’s force, and the other was that of the Great Elder.
Yang Chen didn’t know who the Great Elder was, but he glanced at Li Ruoxiang’s opposing faction, and it seemed that the force under the Great Elder was not much worse than Li Ruoxiang’s, who was the sect leader.
“Li Ruoxiang seemed very worried yesterday. That’s right, she’s been leading the Green Lotus Sect all the way, running east and west. There’s no time to think about the Pill Battle. The Great Elder has been enjoying a leisurely life in the Green Lotus Sect, playing with schemes and plots. No matter how you look at it, it’s hard for Li Ruoxiang to get the upper hand.” Yang Chen muttered to himself.
This was indeed a situation of internal and external worries.
As he was lost in thought, a friendly Blue Lotus Sect senior sister said, “Junior brother Yang Chen, there you are! Please come with me!”
Yang Chen nodded and followed her, eventually being treated as a guest.
The treatment he received as a guest was quite nice, with female disciples of the Green Lotus Sect serving tea and pouring water for him.
After Yang Chen took his seat, he glanced around. Li Ruoxiang was not far from him, surrounded by many elders. Holding his tea, he asked the senior sister beside him, “Sister Mu, who is the Great Elder?”
“That old man right there.” Sister Mu didn’t show any displeasure when she heard Yang Chen’s question, but when she saw the old man, her attitude became a little unhappy.
Yang Chen observed Sister Mu’s attitude very clearly, then looked at the old man and thought of something.
The Great Elder was a man in his seventies or eighties, with scars all over his face. His appearance was not at all pleasant to look at, and even one glance would make people feel disgusted.
There was a smile on his face, not far from Li Ruoxiang, surrounded by a group of disciples and elders. And the way he glanced at Li Ruoxiang from time to time, his eyes filled with greedy desire, it was not difficult to judge that he seemed to be very interested in Li Ruoxiang.
The most crucial thing was that his martial arts cultivation was not weak. Compared to Li Ruoxiang, he was not at a disadvantage at all!
