Which is superior, is obvious at a glance.
Today, if it weren’t for Mr. Yan Jin’s intervention, the Lan Wood Spiritual Root of the Yunxia Sect would truly have been destroyed by this renowned Zhen Qing. The Pill Masters present didn’t suffer any loss, but for the Yunxia Sect, it was like being undermined from within!
No wonder, at this mont, the people of Yunxia Sect looked at Zhen Qing with eyes filled with anger. These people probably all wanted to kill Zhen Qing. It’s just that, due to various apprehensions, they ultimately held back from taking action. Of course, Jing Yan’s solution to the Lan Wood Spiritual Root’s problem also brought relief to the hearts of the Yunxia Sect mbers.
Certainly, after this incident, Mr. Yan Jin’s na is likely to quickly spread throughout the Vast Smoke Divine Realm and slowly extend to the entire God Realm.
Amidst congratulatory voices, everyone left the Floating Mountain.
The Yunxia Sect left behind a Supre Elder to observe the Lan Wood Spiritual Root. Sect Master Xiao Wangyue and Qi i Sect Master both accompanied Jing Yan and others beyond the range of the Floating Mountain.
Sect Master Xiao Wangyue organized a banquet, inviting the Pill Masters to join.
Zhen Qing, naturally lacking the face to stay, forced a gesture of courtesy to Xiao Wangyue and others with a sullen expression, then flew away on his own.
Accompanying Zhen Qing were four or five Divine Pill Masters. As for the others, they all stayed behind.
In the Great Hall, the atmosphere was harmonious and lively, with wine cups exchanged amidst happy chatter.
Even the Great Sect Master Xiao Wangyue specially toasted Jing Yan with a few cups and spoke so pleasing words.
During the rry drinking, Xiao Wangyue stood up again, his gaze still fixed on Jing Yan.
"Mr. Yan Jin, today, your kindness to Yunxia Sect is deeply felt by everyone in Yunxia Sect." Xiao Wangyue began speaking, causing others to naturally pause their conversations and look at this Nine Tripods Main God, the Great Sect Master of Yunxia Sect.
"Sect Master Xiao, you’re too kind." Jing Yan said flatly.
Thus far, although Xiao Wangyue had said so courteous words to Jing Yan, there was yet no sign of apology. On Xiao Wangyue’s face and in his eyes, Jing Yan also saw no shred of remorse.
Xiao Wangyue waved his hand and continued, "Previously, Yun Tian brought Mr. Yan Jin to Yunxia Sect seeking a seat for the Immortal Bridge eting."
Upon hearing this, Jing Yan’s thoughts stirred.
The seat at the Immortal Bridge eting was indeed very important; Jing Yan’s intervention to treat the Yunxia Sect’s Lan Wood Spiritual Root was, to a large extent, also for the reason of obtaining a seat for the Immortal Bridge eting.
To the Yunxia Sect, the Lan Wood Spiritual Root is the foundation of the sect; even offering a seat at the Immortal Bridge eting for it shouldn’t be considered significant.
At this banquet, Jing Yan had been waiting for Yunxia Sect to ntion the seat for the Immortal Bridge eting, and now the mont had co.
"Mr. Yan Jin, it’s not that Yunxia Sect is unwilling to recomnd you to the Immortal Bridge eting, but truly, Yunxia Sect has only three seats, and the candidates for recomndation have already been determined. These three sect disciples have long received the news. If we suddenly revoke their seats for the Immortal Bridge eting, it would be hard to explain." Xiao Wangyue continued.
Upon hearing these words, Jing Yan’s gaze sharpened.
What does this an? Are they still unwilling to grant a seat for the Immortal Bridge eting?
"The sect is, of course, grateful for Mr. Yan Jin’s intervention in treating the sect’s Lan Wood Spiritual Root. But one matter is one matter; this seat for the Immortal Bridge eting is truly beyond our capability, and we hope Mr. Yan Jin can understand." Xiao Wangyue clearly had decided not to recomnd Jing Yan for the Immortal Bridge eting.
He deliberately brought this matter up during the banquet, which ant there was no room for compromise. If it were discussed privately, perhaps there could still be negotiations.
At this mont, Hao Yuntian’s face also showed discontent.
He previously believed that the sect should have given Mr. Yan Jin a seat for the Immortal Bridge eting this ti. Yet unexpectedly, the Great Sect Master Xiao Wangyue turned his back on them.
"Great Sect Master, is a seat for the Immortal Bridge eting more precious than the sect’s Lan Wood Spiritual Root?" Hao Yuntian couldn’t help himself. He stood up and questioned Xiao Wangyue with anger.
"Yun Tian, I am speaking with Mr. Yan Jin. Listen quietly!" Xiao Wangyue frowned and glanced at Hao Yuntian.
"Mr. Yan Jin was brought by , and the initial suggestion to ask the sect for a seat at the Immortal Bridge eting was mine. Now, I think I have reason and should ask for clarity."
"In front of the Divine Pill Masters present, and Gu Cuo Building Owner, I want to ask the Great Sect Master, if the Lan Wood Spiritual Root were to die, what would happen to Yunxia Sect? In my view, Yunxia Sect would surely decline slowly and finally fade into the nurous forces large and small."
"Now, Mr. Yan Jin has acted to cure the sect’s Lan Wood Spiritual Root. This grace, even if the three seats for the Immortal Bridge eting are given to Mr. Yan Jin, cannot be repaid, can it?" Hao Yuntian’s tone hardened at the end.
Hao Yuntian was genuinely angered.
If not, he definitely wouldn’t use such a tone to speak with the sect’s Great Sect Master Xiao Wangyue.
"Great Sect Master, shouldn’t we reconsider the allocation of seats? Although the recomndation list is settled, since the Immortal Bridge eting has not started, making a temporary change is not entirely impossible." The Second Sect Master Qi i also spoke with a furrowed brow.
In such a situation, as the sect’s Second Sect Master, questioning the Great Sect Master’s decision was clearly inappropriate. Therefore, she spoke tactfully. Though her tone was gentle, it sufficiently indicated her disagreent with the Great Sect Master’s decision.
"Moreover, Mr. Yan Jin previously had the intention to temporarily join Yunxia Sect, representing the sect at the Immortal Bridge eting. If so, our Yunxia Sect recomnding Mr. Yan Jin wouldn’t be considered recomnding an outsider." Qi i Sect Master continued.
Xiao Wangyue’s expression beca increasingly grim.
The atmosphere in the Great Hall suddenly beca very oppressive.
Those present were evidently not suitable to comnt on this matter.
"Second Sect Master, I understand what you’re saying. However, even if Mr. Yan Jin temporarily joins Yunxia Sect, it is difficult to recomnd him for the Immortal Bridge eting. No faction would recomnd a Divine Pill Master to participate in the Immortal Bridge eting! As the sect master, we must ensure fairness." Xiao Wangyue’s obstinate stubbornness was unmistakable at this mont. His implication was that although Jing Yan’s Alchemy Dao abilities might be exceptionally strong, his Martial Arts Cultivation was insufficient.
His tone carried a sense of irrevocability, as if once spoken, his words couldn’t be changed.
In fact, Xiao Wangyue’s real concern was not just about a seat for the Immortal Bridge eting. If during Jing Yan’s first visit to Yunxia Sect, Xiao Wangyue had him treat the Lan Wood Spiritual Root and succeed, he might have given a seat to Jing Yan without hesitation.
But the issue now is, he didn’t do that initially. If he offers a seat to Jing Yan now, wouldn’t that imply he was wrong at the start?
How could Xiao Wangyue be wrong?
Soone like Xiao Wangyue can be so stubborn as to be unreasonable and detested. Soone who, even in death, might never admit they were wrong. Up to this point, he hasn’t shown any intention of apologizing to Jing Yan.
"Hehe..."
At this mont, Jing Yan slowly stood up from his seat.
