2709: Looking down on others again

Looking down on others again

"Deacon Mei, you're being too polite. The reason we agreed to help the pillheart Pavilion refine pills this time is mainly because of the pillheart Pavilion's reputation in the alchemy world. If anyone can sneak into the pillheart Pavilion and pretend to be an Alchemist, wouldn't we be lowering our status as well?" As soon as he finished speaking, a thin old man among the guests stood up and echoed.0

Don't be fooled by this person's unremarkable appearance, his voice was loud and full of vigor, and he was full of pride.

"That's right. We are all famous alchemists. If we associate ourselves with a junior who is only here for the first time, wouldn't it be beneath our dignity?" The others also agreed.

Only then did Ling Chuxi realize that these people were actually spiritual alchemists that the pillheart Pavilion had invited from various places. Looking at their age, the youngest of these spirit alchemists was at least fifty or sixty years old. Compared to ordinary cultivators, spirit alchemists valued qualifications more. Seeing that he was young, it was inevitable that they would look down on him.

"Deacon Xia, we are spiritual alchemists who have been famous for many years. Although we were moved by your sincerity, it was mostly because of the pillheart Pavilion. It's fine if you invited such a young spiritual alchemist to learn alchemy just to make up for the numbers. However, it's indeed inappropriate for him to be on equal footing with us." A few spirit alchemists walked over to Xia Yimin. Although they were also a little dissatisfied, their tone was much gentler than the others.

Ling Chuxi finally understood. These spirit alchemists had been invited back by different deacons, so they were biased towards different deacons.

Sweeping her gaze around, Ling Chuxi saw The Alchemist who had first spoken exchange glances with Deacon Mei. She immediately understood that these two people were in cahoots and were using her to suppress Xia Yimin.

A smug expression appeared on Deacon Mei's face, and she looked at Xia Yimin with a mocking expression.

"I didn't know I was so unpopular. Forget it, manager Xia. I don't think I need to make things difficult for you. Let's call off the previous agreement. I'll take my leave first." Ling Chuxi said to Xia Yimin. She hated this kind of internal strife within the aristocratic families and sect residences the most.

She had come to the pill Heart Pavilion this time because she had a good impression of Xia Yimin, and she didn't want to keep him at arm's length. She also wanted to take advantage of the myriad elixir banquet to find the members of the Ling clan, and also to earn some five-colored spirit stones.

However, he did not expect to be embroiled in a power struggle the moment he arrived at the pillheart Pavilion, so he lost interest. If she wanted to find her family and earn money, it did not matter whether she had the pillheart Pavilion. With her alchemy skills and the high-level spiritual herbs in the Meru space, she could earn a lot of money wherever she went. Why should she stay here and suffer? She wasn't afraid of infighting, but she found it annoying. He was too lazy to deal with these people.

"Alchemist Ling, please wait. Please wait." The moment he heard that Ling Chuxi was leaving, Xia Yimin panicked and quickly said to the others,"everyone, you have misunderstood. This Ling Chuxi, Alchemist Ling, is not Mr. Yue's disciple, but his martial uncle. Mr. Yue's alchemy skills were personally taught by her."

"That's impossible, right? I've heard that the Yue clan's mishap happened nearly a hundred years ago, so Yue Kaili should be at least eighty or ninety years old. How could he have such a young martial uncle?" Someone asked doubtfully.

"When the Yue family was in trouble, Mr. Yue joined ethereal sect. This Alchemist Ling is the junior Sister of the Lord of ethereal sect, which is also Mr. Yue's martial uncle." Xia Yimin explained.
