The Second Elder of the dicine Sect’s final agreent ant that the matter was unanimously approved.
The headmaster breathed a sigh of relief, as he had been worried about how to convince the Ten Great Sects. Now that it’s finally passed, all his worries have vanished.
Next, Su Yang kept his promise and directly made the recipes for three kinds of elixirs public, giving them to the Ten Great Sects.
Except for the dicine Sect, the other sects received the recipes with great joy.
Previously, Su Zhan had not even given the recipes for the three elixirs to the Thousand Snow Palace, in hopes of allowing the dicine Sect to have self-protection capabilities. Su Zhan originally planned to spread the recipes once the dicine Sect gained so strength.
However, before Su Zhan could do so, he disappeared. Afterward, the dicine Sect monopolized the three elixirs, and within the Ten Great Sects, they had their way, even making the Thousand Snow Palace wary of them.
Now that Su Yang has published the recipes for these three elixirs, it ans the Ten Great Sects can all make them. In the future, the dicine Sect will no longer have a monopoly, which is great news for the Ten Great Sects.
Of course, the dicine Sect was the most furious. They could only watch helplessly as Su Yang completely broke their monopoly, and the dicine Sect’s status among the Ten Great Sects was once again reduced.
Given this situation, it was uncertain how much longer the dicine Sect could linger among the Ten Great Sects!
The Second Elder of the dicine Sect felt extrely uneasy, but thinking about the Qi Suppressing Pill on the Jade-Faced Judge’s side gave him so hope.
If they could get the thod for crafting the Qi Suppressing Pill, the dicine Sect could at least control one kind of elixir and maintain a certain status in the future!
Thus, the Second Elder of the dicine Sect made up his mind, determined to get the recipe for the Qi Suppressing Pill from the Jade-Faced Judge at all costs!
Su Yang discussed a few more matters with the others, and then the eting adjourned, with the mbers of the Ten Great Sects leaving Qinghe Academy one by one.
The dicine Sect was the first to leave, and the Second Elder didn’t even wait for his companions, flying off into the sky first.
The others didn’t think much of it, assuming the Second Elder was simply too angry to stay any longer.
Upon returning to the area in the Capital City where the dicine Sect resided, the Second Elder imdiately sought out the Ghost King San Yan and Ge Kaiyang.
The Ghost King San Yan and Ge Kaiyang were unaware of the situation at Qinghe Academy. Seeing the Second Elder return, Ge Kaiyang excitedly asked, "How did it go? How did it go this ti? Is Su Yang dead?"
"Dead? Not at all!" the Second Elder retorted with discontent. "He’s living better than anyone!"
"What?" Ge Kaiyang was astonished. "Why? Didn’t they plan to publicly execute him today?"
"He was supposed to be publicly executed, but who knew that this kid... this kid is actually Su Zhan’s son!" the Second Elder angrily replied.
"What!?" the Ghost King San Yan and Ge Kaiyang exclaid in unison.
Face filled with indignation, the Second Elder recounted everything that transpired today from start to finish.
After listening, the Ghost King San Yan and Ge Kaiyang were dumbfounded and utterly shocked, unable to speak for a long while.
Finally, the Ghost King San Yan regained his composure and said in shock, "So, you’re telling this... this Su Yang is really Su Zhan’s son? This... this... this..."
Ge Kaiyang’s brow furrowed tightly. He had always regarded Su Yang as a lowly person from the slums. Now he finally realized that Su Yang’s status was much higher than his own.
What can the Jade-Faced Judge do? Su Zhan’s reputation surpasses that of the Martial Top Scholar Beigong War God, Jade-Faced Judge, Mahakasyapa, and Qi Zhishan combined!
"When will the Jade-Faced Judge arrive in the Capital City?" the Second Elder asked gravely. "Su Yang has made those three elixir recipes public. The dicine Sect must acquire a new elixir to remain on par with the Ten Great Sects. Otherwise, the dicine Sect’s status in the Ten Great Sects will only decline further. You are now mbers of the dicine Sect, and the sect’s declining status offers you no benefits either!"
The Ghost King San Yan frowned slightly, pondering for a mont, and said, "My master still has a few minor matters to attend to, but he will certainly arrive in the Capital City soon. However, given the dicine Sect’s current situation, even if we obtain the recipe for the Qi Suppressing Pill, the dicine Sect may still not fare well in the Ten Great Sects in the future!"
"What do you an?" the Second Elder asked gravely.
"Second Elder, don’t forget the grievances between the dicine Sect and Su Zhan, which also extend to Su Yang!" the Ghost King San Yan reminded. "Even when Su Yang was not in a favorable position, he killed so many dicine Sect mbers. Now, Su Yang has beco the representative of the Ten Great Sects, and many mbers of the Ten Great Sects listen to him. Will Su Yang spare the dicine Sect at this point?"
"That’s why I must quickly obtain the thod for making the Qi Suppressing Pill to enhance the dicine Sect’s status!" the Second Elder said urgently.
"I told you, the Qi Suppressing Pill may not enhance the dicine Sect’s status!" the Ghost King San Yan replied. "If the dicine Sect continues to use the Qi Suppressing Pill to trade with other sects, they will only see this as another attempt by the dicine Sect to extort them. If Su Yang adds fuel to the fire, there’s a possibility the other nine sects will unite to destroy the dicine Sect and force them to hand over the Qi Suppressing Pill recipe. In that case, the Qi Suppressing Pill recipe would accelerate the dicine Sect’s demise!"
The Second Elder’s eyes widened; he hadn’t considered so much. Now, hearing the Ghost King San Yan’s analysis, he was genuinely frightened, as this scenario seed likely.
"What do we do now?" the Second Elder asked anxiously. "Do we just sit and wait for death? Didn’t you say that Su Yang definitely won’t spare the dicine Sect?"
"Sitting and waiting for death is not necessary!" the Ghost King San Yan laughed. "For now, the most crucial thing is to find a few allies for the dicine Sect among the Ten Great Sects."
"Allies?" the Second Elder frowned, looking at the Ghost King San Yan in confusion.
"For example, Soaring Cloud Hall, Heavenly Blade Peak, and Horizon’s End had good relations with the dicine Sect once!" the Ghost King San Yan suggested. "If these three sects are willing to help the dicine Sect, then the dicine Sect’s status within the Ten Great Sects will certainly be secure!"
"Don’t ntion those three sects!" the Second Elder fud. "Given what happened tonight, they didn’t help at all. Good relations or not, it’s all based on interests!"
"That’s true; relationships indeed depend on interests!" the Ghost King San Yan smiled. "Second Elder, if you use the Qi Suppressing Pill to approach them, wouldn’t that establish an interest-based relationship?"
