“Junior Brother Yun, big mouthfuls often choke. Are you sure you can learn so many pill prescriptions and martial skills in such a short time? You have to know that it’s better to comprehend one at the stage of insight-stage than to promote ten to the entry-level.”

Zhan Mufei can’t bear anymore Yun Chuan’s wastrel-like behavior; he comes forward and persuades him.

The youngster is a little bit surprised as if he feels that’s not all. However, he nods to show a look of approval. He answers seriously: “You are right, Senior Brother. Twenty three pill prescriptions at the first level, three at the second-level and one martial skill at the Black level. That should be barely enough for me to use.”

“Barely enough?”

Zhan Mufei can’t help but rolls his eyes. Within such a short time, Yun Chuan has collected 23 first-level pill prescriptions, three at the second-level, and one martial skill at the Black level. Though Zhan Mufei is confident about his own strength, those pill prescriptions and martial skills will take at least several years for him to get to the entry-stage, let alone to the higher stage. But his Junior Brother Yun says that they are “barely enough”! Even if he has known that Yun Chuan is really talented, he still believes that this youngster is bragging and making himself look fat by slapping his own face.

“Senior Brother Zhan, I’ve heard that the qualification of the promotion to the second-level Pill Master from a first-level one is to master one hundred first-level pill prescriptions at the entry-stage or five of them at the perfect-stage. So where is the place of assessment?”

“It’s on the Main Peak of our Sect. Why, Junior Brother Yun, you have reached the standard of the second-level Pill Master?” Zhan Mufei shows a surprised look.

“I’ve just learnt those pill prescriptions in the Pavilion, and that should be enough.”

The boy closes his eyes, ponders for a moment and says with a smile.

“You just learnt? You must be kidding!”

Being dissatisfied with what Yun Chuan said, Zhan Mufei shakes his head: “Nonsense, totally nonsense! Junior Brother Yun, I mean, you’re making a fool of yourself. Though talent is very important in the Pill Refinement, the experience also makes sense. Yes, Elder Master Dan Ling can directly recommend you as an Inner Disciple, and I really admire your understanding of the Qi-promoting Pill, that’s all true; but after all, you can’t be a fat man with a single bite. You have just collected these pill prescriptions, being to learn and having learnt are totally two different concepts.”

He takes a breather for relief, and then keeps persuading: “Moreover, Pill Master’s promotion to the second level needs the common witness of the Elder Masters at the Elder Master Pavilion. Most people will go only after they are fully prepared. How dare you be so rash…”

Suddenly, Zhan Mufei’s words are interrupted by a distant noise.

“Yun Tian, you are just an Outer Disciple. Although you can learn two martial skills or pill prescription per year, the Seal of the Black Heavenly Phoenix on this stone wall is what Senior Brother Chen Guang once taught in his lesson. If you want to learn, you have to pay another 2000 Primordial Stones to Senior Brother Chen Guang!”

“Yun Tian?”

Yun Chuan is surprised and follows the direction where the voice comes. In front of a stone wall in the distance, Yun Chuan can’t even hold back the look of uncontrollable indignation and questions in an angry voice, “Zhou Henan, don’t go too far! Why should I pay extra Primordial Stones to learn martial skills while others don’t?”

Several Outer Disciples come and surround Yun Tian. They all seem to be quite old, clearly to be kind of experienced Outer Disciples hopeless to be promoted to the Inner Part and have to choose to be followers behind those Inner Disciples; some of them have reached the early-stage of Martial Core.

However, although Yun Tian has truly made progress compared with the past, he still hasn’t reached the stage of Martial Core. So in the face of threats from those people, he is obviously unable to fight back freely.

Zhou Henan, the Outer Disciple who threatened Yun Tian now sneers, “Why, do you still want to know why? The strange thing is that Elder Master Xiao Ying once asked you to be his disciple, and you, a little Outer Disciple, dare to refuse! Why, you think that Elder Master Xiao Ying is too small for your eyes? Are you satisfied with this reason?”

Yun Chuan keeps silence. He clenches his fist tightly and then let go; his fingernails are embedded in the flesh, and blood drops on the ground. Only now does he understand why he has been picked on in the Sect these days. On that day, Elder Master Xiao Ying sent a disciple to express the will to accept him as a personal disciple. If Yun Tian were a new comer to the Sect, he would agree without any hesitation; but he got really disappointed after the competition of Pill Refinement between Xiao Ying and Yun Chuan, so he refused.

Now having known everything, Yun Tian doesn’t regret his refusal that day at all. On the contrary, he regards it as a matter for rejoicing, because the bad character and nature of Xiao Ying have been thoroughly exposed.

“Though I’m just an Outer Disciple, I choose to be honest and decent. If my Master is such a sinister, cunning and narrow-minded man… I’d like to say that I don’t need a Master like that!”

“How dare you!”

Yun Tian’s words immediately irritate Zhou He Nan and other disciples, and their faces become very surly. The original force starts to surge on several people around, and they all decide to give Yun Tian a lesson. All of a sudden, a dignified man at the middle-stage of Martial Core dressed in the clothes of the Inner Disciple also comes; and he snorts coldly and looks up and down at Yun Tian.

Zhou Henan and other followers all stop, show awe and make way for that Inner Disciple.

“Senior Brother Chen Guang!”

“Senior Brother Chen Guang is here too!”

“Senior Brother Chen Guang is the eldest disciple of Elder Master Xiao Ying. With extremely outstanding talents, he is a second-level Pill Master who has already reached the late-stage of Martial Core, and probably a new star going to be famous in the Competition this time. Just like his Master, Senior Brother Chen Guang will seek revenge for the smallest grievance. I’m afraid that Yun Tian will suffer from his bold words this time.”

“Not only that, I’m afraid that with the ruthlessness of Chen Guang, being seriously injured will be the best result for Yun Tian.”

Chen Guang slowly walks up to several people, leers at Yun Tian and chuckles: “So you are Yun Tian, right? What you said just now? I’ll give you three seconds and you can explain to me.”

Yun Tian keeps silent with a livid face. Seeing this scene, Chen Guang shows a more playful look.

“You are just an Outer Disciple from an unknown Clan, and how dare you to refuse Elder Master Xiao? Why, have you lost your tongue? It’s such a whole-life blessing for you to gain the recognition of Master Xiao, and you are still faking? Well, my dear Junior Brother, let me give you a lesson today!”

Yun Tian’s face becomes even paler. It’s not because he doesn’t want to say something; he can’t release a word with Chen Guang’s original force at the late-stage of Martial Core suddenly oppressing towards him.
