To Be Celestial's Emperor II
Towards the Central Palace
“Chairman, you should not be too courteous with me, after all you are a much older elder than I” Zhen Yuan refused to accept the attitude of the elder.
“No master Zhen! You are the one who gave me the Soul Essensji Pill. Without those pills I am sure my achievements today may only be worth my decades of hard work.” the elder said respectfully.
“Alright then, but please don't bend.” Zhen Yuan no longer bothered him. He followed the elder along with the others. After all he was now a high elder, bringing a few people with him would not be a problem.
“How can I call you elder?” Zhen Yuan asked.
“My name is Huang Gu, one of the Pill” palace's permanent elders introduced himself, he also showed me the badge of a 7th grade master proving that his talent in alchemists is fairly flat for the pill palace. Of course his strength in the Peak Soul realm made him valuable.
“Oh well elder Huang, in the future I beg his help” Huang Gu nodded with vigor.
Two hours later, they arrived at the outskirts of the city which from a distance had seen several 6th class formation carriages parked grandly awaiting the arrival of all of them.
A troupe had arrived earlier than Zhen Yuan, they were none other than the entourage of Patriarch Yiqian. They arrived early because Patriarch Yiqian had only brought 3 alchemists of the Thousand Pill sect who had also entered the top 100.
“Patriarch Yiqian, we meet again” greet Zhen Yuan with a faint smile.
Yiqian snorted, “Lock don't expect it because you being a high elder like me makes our degrees the same! After all there is no close relationship between us while you have a close relationship with the Toxic Insect”
Patriarch Yiqian couldn't possibly yet know of their relationship, moreover the other 2 kingdoms, Inner Estuary and Lightning Sword had previously met him personally and discussed cooperation for revenge.
“Bobbish! Just look at how our 4 sects will destroy the sect of Efficacious Medicines and Poisonous Insects down to its roots!” Yiqian was slightly affected by his emotions. Zhen Yuan chuckled at him then left Yiqian and his entourage.
“Master Zhen, you should not make such enmity with Patriarch Yiqian. It would be very bad for you in the pill palace if Patriarch Yiqian wanted to make a crime to you” elder Huang Gu gave a suggestion.
“Elders need not worry, as long as he is still a high elder like me then it will be fine”
Yet Huang Gu shook his head in disapproval, “Master Zhen might not have known about it yet. But master Dan Jian told us that it was likely that in the next few years Patriarch Yiqian would be raised as the main elder before becoming a noble Alchemist when he reached the mortal” realm
This time the faces of Zhen Yuan and his followers turned tangled, a few years were not long for them while Yiqian talent was also very good, either, it wouldn't be a problem for him to reach the Mortal realm after 30 to 50 years with the help of the Central palace's resources. At that time he would become a noble alchemist.
Not long after they thought to each other, another elder arrived carrying elder Sazi. This time elder Sazi was only accompanied by a young man who was none other than his disciple. The three elders looked at each other then elder Huang said a little loudly so that they would all listen to him.
“Congratulations on the 3 high elders of the new Pill Palace! We are 3 permanent elders welcome you with respect!”
Next elder Huang mentioned that they would soon be departing towards the central region Pill Palace. After today and beyond, the high elders would become members of the Pill Palace and have a residence in the Pill palace.
“For other settings, we will explain it when arriving at palace” Elder Huang closes his explanation. He then invited Zhen Yuan and the party to enter one of the 6th class spirit carriages lined up there. The other two elders also did the same. In an instant they had all entered their respective spirit carriages.
Before leaving, elder Huang released a lighthouse into the air. This signaled their departure from the Red Star city.
