C723 Waiting
"Brother Zhong, your master should have arrived, right? "Which inn is he at? I'll pay him a visit." Pei Jun looked at Zhong Ming, and asked something that he had been holding in for a long time.0
"Brother Pei, my apologies. My master has so many things to do, so I won't be able to participate in this competition. However, I can refine a top grade seven pellet." Where did Zhong Ming's master come from? He was the one who came to participate, but once he told a lie, he had to do it himself. He did not know if Pei Jun could listen to him, or if he could concoct pills of this level.
"What? He didn't come?" Pei Jun looked at Zhong Ming in shock. He did not expect his bet to be placed on Zhong Ming's master, even if Zhong Ming said that he could refine it, then the success rate would not be very high, it was not because he wanted to be ranked in the top ten, but in the top ten. With Zhong Ming's level, he simply could not enter the top ten.
At first, he thought that since Zhong Ming's master was able to compete, he would have a part of the chance of winning. Moreover, he and his uncle was able to relieve the pressure from the pavilion, but now, everything had vanished into thin air.
Looking at his expression, Zhong Ming could guess a bit, but before Zhong Ming could say anything, Pei Jun's Jade Plate lit up.
"Brother Zhong, I have something to take care of. You should find an inn here and find me when I'm done." After saying that, without waiting for Zhong Ming's reply, he handed him a Jade Plate and then turned to leave.
Zhong Ming held onto the Jade Plate, and after looking it over carefully, he knew that it was a keepsake, used to send messages or to find someone to use, because a lot of people would come to participate in the competition here in the city. Since the defensive arrays were activated, the cultivators' techniques were restricted, and the Spiritual Sense were not able to use them, it was to prevent unnecessary conflicts and trouble.
had guessed a little at heart, but it seemed like his own strength was nothing in front of them. Looking at it now, for Pei Jun to not even bring him to the pavilion to stay in an inn that had such a large amount of Duo Bao Pavilion, it showed that there was something wrong with it.
Maybe some of the materials were what he needed. After all, there were a lot of cultivators here, and there were a lot of people setting up stalls, so Zhong Ming had trained in the Phantom Blade Technique and was in urgent need of a good blade.
Although Zhong Ming's refining skills and arrays were impressive, his refining skills were average. The refining notes that Zou Jiaxuan passed down to his family were kept by Zhong Ming and he only took a rough look at them, because he was not interested in them and did not continue learning refining techniques. Firstly, he could purchase high level magic tools from the auction, and secondly, Zhong Ming did not have the time to use them.
Seeing the busy streets, Zhong Ming finally gave up on this idea. Ever since he saw the red-nosed Yan Daxing, he was still afraid to see him again, so it was better to be safe. It seemed like he should first find an inn to stay.
Zhong Ming imagined that with Yan Daxing's status, he would definitely stay in a high-end inn, and it would be better for him to stay far away. Hence, he found a remote place in the corner. Moreover, he did not plan to cultivate here, and it was only two or three days away from the competition. Even if he wanted to cultivate, he would not be able to level up immediately, so finding a place like this to stay in for a few days was the best choice, but in truth, Zhong Ming did not know much about this competition. It was only because Pei Jun had told him that he should go and understand it personally.
The moment Pei Jun returned to the Duo Bao Pavilion Branch Pavilion in Luo City, he was called over by the steward who was waiting for him at the door.
"Why did you arrive so late? Archdeacon came and is waiting for you inside. Go quickly." With that, he quickly left without giving Pei Jun any time to ask. Pei Jun's heart was currently very perturbed, he did not expect the Archdeacon to also come to this place.
When he arrived at the great hall, the room was filled with people. When Pei Jun looked inside, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and Archdeacon was sitting in the center, beside him were all the elders of the Duo Bao Pavilion, other than Elder Lin and Belly, there were only a few dozen people present, but the hall was not as spacious anymore. Perhaps it was because of their intimidating auras, but Pei Jun couldn't help but shiver a little.
Pei Jun's uncle, Pei Zheng, sat steadily with a serene expression. When he saw Pei Jun, he nodded at him and stopped looking at him.
Just then, a manager sitting on the stage spoke out, "Pei Jun, you are late, have you brought the pill refiner you mentioned? We are all curious to see if he is qualified to participate in the competition."
Pei Jun knew that this was his uncle's enemy, and looked like he was going to make a fuss about this matter. Seeing that his uncle didn't have much of a reaction to these words, he didn't dare to hide it, as it was a huge matter after all.
"Returning to Archdeacon, Zhong Ming's master has something he needs to do so he can't come participate in the competition. Zhong Ming can come participate in the competition himself." Pei Jun's forehead started to sweat.
"What? Pei Jun, you are so brave, you dare to invite such a person to take part in the competition?" The sharp voice sounded again.
"Zhong Ming is also a top grade six Pharmacist. He's at the seventh level …" Pei Jun was also a little guilty, he could not guarantee that Zhong Ming would be able to get a rank, and he did not have the confidence to speak up, so before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted.
"You're just a wet behind the ears brat, yet you dare to say that he's a level 6 Pharmacist. Who knows if you're up to no good in this, even if he has reached that level, the number of Pharmacist in the Duo Bao Pavilion is more than he has the qualifications. Don't embarrass us by going out."
"Lin Lifeng is right, our Duo Bao Pavilion sending this person to participate, will make him laugh at our pavilion's incompetent people who are available, and will be the truth." The Archdeacon said.
Originally, Pei Jun wanted Zhong Ming's master to personally come out and win the competition, so he and his uncle would show some respect and lead a better life in Duo Bao Pavilion. However, things didn't go as he wished, and he couldn't force Zhong Ming to take over this position either. If there were any flaws, his uncle would be troubled, and when he raised his head, he looked at his uncle, seeing that didn't have any intention to participate either, he didn't argue anymore.
How much do you know about this kid? He actually used his authority to occupy such a precious position. This will bring about a great loss to our Duo Bao Pavilion." "Lin Lifeng originally wanted to make a scene and suppress Pei Zheng in front of the Archdeacon, but he did not expect that they would make such a huge mistake. How could he let such a good opportunity slip by?
"Indeed. Pei Zheng, what do you think of his strength? Do you think that he has the qualifications to participate?" Archdeacon asked.
It was just that he knew that Zhong Ming was already at the peak of the sixth level, then his master would definitely be a level seven or level eight master. This competition would definitely not be a problem, who knew that even the Archdeacon would place so much importance on this year's competition, and would come personally.
Ever since the establishment of the Duo Bao Pavilion, the pavilion master had not been in charge. He was in charge of everything within the Duo Bao Pavilion, and could be said to be in charge of everything within the sect. Now that the Archdeacon had asked, Pei Zheng did not know how to respond.
The air suddenly became stifling...
