C1176 Adoptive Parents(last Part)
After an indignant speech, the many apothecaries who were originally in high spirits at the banquet fell into deep thought.
Many of the apothecaries had incomparably solemn expressions and they didn't say a word. For a moment, they didn't know what to say.
After all, this matter was too important and involved many different interests.
On the one hand, Zhao Wuya hopes that Wu can take his place in a year.
On the other hand, Su Ling firmly refused. However, no one knew what Su Ling was really thinking.
On the last point, the Great Clan Elder represented the elders pavilion, and directly stood out to oppose Su Ling becoming the hall master of the Elixir God Sect one year from now.
Without a doubt, a series of reactions directly involved three sides.
Many of the alchemists present were merely students within the Elixir God Sect. They didn't have the authority to speak, nor did they have a decisive position.
As a result, they did not dare to speak out in public, and even more so, did not dare to carelessly stand in line.
Seeing that the main hall, which was originally bustling with noise and excitement, had now become extremely depressed, Zhao Wuya's face also darkened as a hint of seriousness flashed across it.
Zhao Wuya turned to the Great Clan Elder with a serious expression and said, "Great Clan Elder, since you are so opposed to Su Ling becoming the next Hall Master, I am afraid no one knows the reason behind it better than you. But there is one thing I want you to understand. No one is more suitable to be the next Hall Master than Su Ling. His martial arts is strong, and he is also proficient in alchemy. Isn't that great? "
He knew that Zhao Wuya had made up his mind, but even so, he still had to speak impartially and say it directly: "Su Ling is indeed very suitable to be the hall master of Elixir God Sect, but to let him become the hall master after a year is a bit too hasty. Elixir God Sect is, after all, one of the top powers in the lower realms. If you were to hand it over to Su Ling carelessly, the question would be whether Su Ling can properly manage Elixir God Sect. "
"Sloppy?"
Hearing these two words, Zhao Wuya slightly frowned. He looked at the Great Elder and pressed, "Su Ling has already stepped into the Heavenly God Stage at such a young age, and is also a fifth tier alchemist. Isn't this status enough?"
"Elixir God Sect is where alchemists gather. The one that is needed is a strong alchemist like you and not Martial Arts Expert. If Su Ling can reach the eighth level in one year, I will support Su Ling as the next hall master on behalf of all the elders. However, if he is unable to do so, then let's wait for a few more years.
The Head Elder let out a helpless sigh. Zhao Wuya insisted on letting Su Ling succeed the position of Head Palace Master, so the Head Elder could only compromise and take a step back.
As long as Su Ling could reach the level of a Grade Eight Alchemist, then Su Ling would be able to take over Sect Master of the Elixir King Sect's position.
This could be considered the Grand Elder's greatest concession.
If a ridiculous person became the Hall Master of Elixir God Sect, the Great Elder would definitely not let him off even an inch. However, considering that Su Ling was focused on training in the Martial Dao and trained in Alchemy, it was not easy for his pill cultivating techniques to reach the fifth stage, in the following year, as long as Su Ling reached the eighth stage, he would have the qualifications to become the hall master of Elixir God Sect.
Otherwise, these few Elixir God Sect elders, who would wholeheartedly submit to Su Ling?
"Eighth rank?" "From the fifth rank to the eighth rank in one year?"
Zhao Wuya was surprised for a moment and a hint of playfulness flashed across his face. This Great Elder was clearly joking with him. In such a short period of time, how could the rank of an alchemist be raised so fast?
Impossible!
Even the top genius Alchemy would not be able to do it.
In other words, the Head Elder was still opposed to letting Su Ling succeed as hall master a year later.
Zhao Wuya's face turned ashen, but in the end, this was the best way for the Great Elder to make a concession. He looked at Su Ling and asked, "Su Ling, what do you think of the Great Elder's suggestion?"
Su Ling laughed bitterly, he was speechless in his heart. In fact, from his perspective, he did not want to become the hall master of the Elixir God Sect so quickly.
After all, this was the hall master of the Elixir God Sect! You have to know that in the entire Lower Realm, the Elixir God Sect is one of the strongest forces.
If Su Ling were to become Sect Master of the Elixir King Sect, he would have the same status as the Hierarch of the Snow God Sect, Sect Master of the TianSword Sage Sect, and even the Lord of the Mount Buzhou Palace. He would be one of the few people with the greatest power in the Lower Realm.
How could Su Ling adapt to such a change?
"Great Elder is right. After all, Elixir God Sect is a power where the alchemists are the main force. If I, Su Ling, do not have sufficient strength in the art of alchemy, I do not have the qualifications to become the hall master of the Elixir God Sect."
Su Ling's gaze darkened. He knew that Zhao Wuya had already made up his mind, but without a doubt, the Great Elder's suggestion was the best countermeasure.
If Su Ling could really raise his alchemist rank to the eighth rank in one year, that would mean that Su Ling possessed the strength to control Elixir God Sect.
If he couldn't do it, he would wait for another year or two. After Su Ling becomes a Grade Eight Alchemist, it would not be too late for Su Ling to take over Zhao Wuya's position as the new Hall Master.
This was undoubtedly the best of both worlds.
Seeing that Su Ling had agreed, the Great Elder could not help but heave a sigh of relief, as a pleased smile appeared on his face. It seems like the reason why Su Ling had come to Elixir God Sect was indeed not for the position of hall master, nor was it for the authority. Otherwise, in that situation just now, if no one could change Zhao Wuya's decision, then Su Ling would become the hall master of the Elixir God Sect in one year and would become one of the few people with the greatest authority in the lower plane.
This was very terrifying!
This was because Su Ling was only eighteen years old this year. Having so much power at such an age was definitely not a good thing for Su Ling.
"Good!" Now that you have agreed, this matter is settled. With today's early winter as the boundary, and next year's early winter, if Su Ling is able to become a Grade Eight Alchemist, then the new Hall Master of Elixir God Sect will be Su Ling. "
Zhao Wuya was excited. He had a good impression of Su Ling, and for this reason, he didn't even mention what he would do if Su Ling failed to advance to become a Grade 8 Alchemist in a year's time. In Zhao Wuya's opinion, Su Ling would surely become a Grade Eight Alchemist after a year. He had confidence in Su Ling.
The few elders, led by the Great Elder, finally calmed down after hearing what Zhao Wuya said. No matter what, this matter can only be discussed after a year has passed. This is equivalent to delaying time, who can guarantee what will happen during this year!
Humans should never think too long ago. It was like how Cultivating Warrior, who originally wanted to go practice his sword arts tomorrow after hearing Chicken Dance, suddenly realized that he had woken up too late the next day. He had no way to practice his sword arts and had no choice but to give up. Can't do what you want, that's the normal way of life.
After deciding on this matter, Zhao Wuya calmed down. After a moment of silence, he smiled and said: "Next, you can go to kowtow ceremony! Emperor Su, worship Su Ling as a father, worship Zi Lan'er as a mother. "Serve the wine!"
Upon hearing this, Su Ling and Zi Lan'er hurried forward. They had already prepared a seat in the main hall. Su Ling was to the left while Zi Lan'er was to the right.
When Su Ling mentioned that he would take Zi Lan'er as his mother, Emperor Su, who was almost five years old, was very happy. In his heart, Zi Lan'er was already considered to be his mother.
This kneeling ceremony was only to make everything perfectly justifiable.
"Di'er, hurry up and serve the tea at the front end, perform the kneeling ceremony!"
The Demon Emperor was standing behind Emperor Su. When he saw Emperor Su in a daze, he quickly reminded him.
Emperor Su's mind was very mature, so he naturally understood the Demon Emperor's words. He quickly poured a cup of tea and kneeled in front of Su Ling. He said with great respect, "Father, your son will offer you some tea."
"Good, good, good!"
Su Ling was elated. With the word 'good' on his face, he took the teacup from Emperor Su and drank it down.
After seeing Su Ling drink the tea, Emperor Su kowtowed to Su Ling once again. He then picked up another cup of tea and passed it to Zi Lan'er.
"Mother, your son will give you tea!"
Emperor Su said respectfully.
"Alright, Di'er, quickly get up!"
Excited, Zi Lan'er quickly took the cup of tea and gulped it down.
Su Ling being able to make Emperor Su recognize her as his mother was something she had never thought of. She couldn't help but tear up from her eyes.
"Mother, don't cry. Your son will take good care of your mother in the future. If anyone dares to bully your mother, your son will avenge your mother."
Emperor Su quickly stepped forward and whispered.
However;
Just at that moment, right after Emperor Su finished speaking, a mocking and disdainful voice suddenly rang out.0
"What a great 'motherly love scene'!" It was moving. "However, Zi Lan'er, ah, Zi Lan'er, oh no, I should call you Mo Xiang'er. Do you think that you can erase the past that belongs to you?"
