Chapter 822: Such a Quick Change of Face
The disciples of Medicine Immortal Valley have distorted the truth, and Wang Sheng was about to explode with anger.
He could not allow anyone to slander him like this, insulting the Qingshan Sect.
Moreover, he had already guessed who that White Skirt Fairy was.
Although Medicine Immortal Valley is now an unranked sect, it used to be a third-rate sect with a Golden Core Early Stage Sect Leader overseeing it.
But over a decade ago, the Sect Leader of Medicine Immortal Valley was rumored to have been poisoned, resulting in a decline in strength, and passed the leader position to his daughter, Qing Yao.
Medicine Immortal Valley thus fell from third-rate to unranked.
If Wang Sheng's guess was correct, the woman in front of him was none other than Qing Yao, the current Sect Leader of Medicine Immortal Valley known as the "Medicine Fairy."
"You're talking nonsense, I told you I'm here for a trade, but clearly it's you... mmmm..."
He couldn't finish his sentence because vines wrapped around his mouth, preventing him from speaking.
Qing Yao's gaze turned cold, discontented with the disciple's actions, and with a gentle movement of her slender fingers, green light surged forth, instantly retracting the vines entangling Wang Sheng back into the ground.
The disciple from Medicine Immortal Valley was already drenched in cold sweat.
"What exactly happened?"
Wang Sheng quickly clasped his hands and said, "Sect Leader Qing Yao, I am Wang Sheng, a disciple of Qingshan Sect, sent by my senior brother to come here for a trade with your sect."
"But after arriving here, your sect's disciples not only mocked me but also insulted our Qingshan Sect, which is why I fought with him."
The Medicine Immortal Valley disciple was extremely nervous and quickly refuted, "Sect Leader, it's not like that, he clearly came to cause trouble..."
"Enough!" Qing Yao shouted angrily, knowing the truth from the guilty expression on her disciple's face, but here is Medicine Immortal Valley, not Qingshan Sect.
Thus, she planned to just teach her disciple a lesson.
"You say you want to trade with us? What kind of trade?" Qing Yao asked.
Although Qingshan Sect has fallen into decline, Qing Yao didn't hold much hope, but asked out of politeness.
Wang Sheng then said, "Elixir Pills business, our sect has produced a batch of Elixir Pills and wants to sell them to Medicine Immortal Valley."
Speaking, he took out all the Elixir Pills he had brought.
A bottle with ten Revitalizing Pills, a bottle with ten Replenishing Essence Pills, two Eighth Grade Spirit Breath Pills, and one Seventh Grade Vajra Pill.
Qing Yao was quite surprised; after all, within a thousand-mile radius, there's only one Alchemist; how could the declining Qingshan Sect have Elixir Pills?
She raised her jade hand, and a blue mana enveloped all the Jade Bottles, bringing them before her one by one.
Two bottles of Ninth Grade Elixir Pills still kept her calm, but her expression changed when she saw the Eighth Grade Pills.
However, upon seeing the Seventh Grade Pills, her expression first froze for a moment and then became excited.
"Dare to ask, where did you get these Elixir Pills?"
Wang Sheng proudly puffed out his chest, "These Elixir Pills were all refined by our senior brother; he is a Seventh Grade Alchemist!"
"Seventh Grade?"
The always-cool Qing Yao became unsteady at this moment, was about to take Wang Sheng into the sect for detailed questioning, but suddenly remembered the Medicine Immortal Valley disciple still kneeling there.
"Your conduct is disgraceful and your virtue lacking; Medicine Immortal Valley doesn't need disciples like you. From today, you are expelled from Medicine Immortal Valley!"
As her words fell, she struck a palm, sending a blue palm imprint that instantly hit the Medicine Immortal Valley disciple, shooting him back dozens of meters.
This palm strike was of Peak Foundation Establishment strength, merciless, and even if the disciple didn't die, he'd be severely injured.
The pitiful Medicine Immortal Valley disciple couldn't imagine receiving such severe punishment, his heart filled with regret, but it was too late.
Another guarding disciple's legs were trembling, extremely thankful he hadn't acted earlier, or he'd have faced the same fate.
"You say your name is Wang Sheng, right? Come, let's discuss inside the sect."
Qing Yao's attitude softened significantly, leading Wang Sheng into Medicine Immortal Valley, not even glancing at the expelled disciple.
This handling left Wang Sheng quite satisfied, while also admiring Qing Yao's quick change in demeanor.
But he glanced at his already torn clothes, his expression dimmed.
Walking ahead, Qing Yao keenly sensed Wang Sheng's mood, chuckling, "You needn't mind, I'll have someone bring a set of clothes shortly."
Wang Sheng waved his hand repeatedly, "No need, it's just this piece of clothing was gifted by my senior brother; it's barely been a day, and now it's damaged, feels like I've let him down."
From his attitude, it was clear that Wang Sheng's senior brother was certainly highly respected, Qing Yao feeling puzzled, having never heard of such a person before.
"May I ask, your senior brother is?"
"Oh, he's the Sect Leader's newly accepted disciple, hasn't been at Qingshan Sect for long." Wang Sheng said casually.
Qing Yao gently furrowed her brow, feeling something was amiss, if indeed a Seventh Grade Alchemist, why would they be at a small sect like Qingshan Sect?
Even going to a second-rate sect would make them a revered figure, much better than Qingshan Sect.
Thus, her heart was full of doubt, even beginning to feel suspicious.
Wang Sheng naturally didn't know Qing Yao's thoughts; at this moment, his heart was filled with shock.
Outside Medicine Immortal Valley lies the Sect Protection Array; from outside, it appeared to be a scenic valley, but upon entering, one could smell the scent of spiritual herbs in the air. First published on M|V|L!EMPYR.
Just a whiff made Wang Sheng's cultivation slightly loosen.
In comparison, their Qingshan Sect was like a beggar.
Upon arriving at the reception hall, Qing Yao first had someone send in a brand-new set of clothes, then began inquiring.
"Your senior brother, is he really a Seventh Grade Alchemist?"
Wang Sheng smiled slightly, nodding emphatically, "Of course, it's our senior brother who told us personally, he wouldn't deceive us!"
This made Qing Yao's heart sink halfway; it meant the title of Seventh Grade Alchemist could entirely be Wang Sheng's senior brother boasting.
What if it was false?
But if true...
Qing Yao thought of her father still lying in bed, her gaze naturally becoming much firmer.
"We at Medicine Immortal Valley can purchase these Elixir Pills, but I wish to personally meet your senior brother."
Wang Sheng was somewhat hesitant, but thinking that establishing a connection with Medicine Immortal Valley would mean no shortage of spiritual herbs, he made the decision to agree.
"Alright, but we won't accept Spirit Stones, only trade for spiritual herbs."
With that, he took out a list.
Most of the spiritual materials on the list were Ninth Grade and Eighth Grade, with some Seventh Grade, making Qing Yao believe it a bit more.
If not a Seventh Grade Alchemist, there's no use for Seventh Grade spiritual herbs.
"Alright, please wait a moment, I'll have someone retrieve the spiritual herbs."
In less than a stick of incense, Qing Yao returned, handing Wang Sheng a storage bag.
Upon inspection, Wang Sheng found not only had the price exceeded the market value but also there were quite a few additional spiritual herbs, clearly showing Qing Yao's goodwill towards them.
