"Elder, should we not make a move?"
Lady Qi helped Qi Tiankuang forcefully and asked in a whisper:
"Zhao Tianjie’s cultivation has long reached the Transformation Realm. The poisons he concocts exceed 7000 types. Although our Medicine Immortal Pavilion is proficient in pharmacology and can resist all poisons, we still can’t match him."
Qi Tiankuang said, his face full of bitterness.
The Medicine Immortal Pavilion is indeed unparalleled in the field of medicine.
But the world is vast and full of wonders.
Where there is medicine, there is also toxicology. In this regard, Zhao Tianjie has proclaimed himself as the ancestor, and no one dares to dissent.
He originally thought that inviting three extraordinary practitioners would allow him to control Lin Beichen. But he didn’t expect that Lin Beichen would almost kill him with just one bodyguard.
Speaking of which, if Zhao Tianjie had not intervened, he would probably be dead by now.
Strictly speaking, his life was saved by the other side.
"Zhao Tianjie is really difficult to deal with. What if Mr. Li Jiang makes a move?"
Lady Qi had a flash of insight in her heart.
Knowledge of poison is a double-edged sword. When used to the extreme, it can kill without trace and even enhance oneself to superhuman levels.
But if used improperly, it not only fails to harm others but can also lead to one’s own death.
Zhao Tianjie is a master in this field. He uses poisons to stimulate his potential and gradually adapt to their toxicity.
In the field of poisons, he has reached the pinnacle of all time.
"I know what you’re thinking, but Mr. Li Jiang is a person who pursues immortality and the Dao. As a recluse, he avoids conflicts. Otherwise, how could Zhao Tianjie be so arrogant here?"
Qi Tiankuang said coldly.
Mr. Li Jiang is one of the most exceptional patrons of the Medicine Immortal Pavilion.
His cultivation is unfathomable.
In his early years, he traveled to temples and Daoist temples across the world and debated various schools without being outmatched. Later, feeling that his quest for immortality was hopeless, he settled down at the Medicine Immortal Pavilion.
He was once viewed as an adventurer, but in the past thirty years, no one has mentioned it.
The reason is that he never cared for fame or gain and disliked killing.
Other adventurers often killed without hesitance, but he rarely fought anyone. Even when traveling through many countries and encountering bandits, he would merely talk to them, easing their wrath.
It’s said that those who were enlightened by him all laid down their weapons and became enlightened on the spot.
Mr. Li Jiang is a true recluse. How could he get involved because of a small dispute?
At this moment, the wooden man’s body was already gradually stiffening.
After the flying insects burrowed into his brain, his pupils turned entirely white.
From a distance, the wooden man looked like a wooden statue, his soul seemingly devoured.
"Young man, ancient clans are not something you can challenge. In my eyes, you are no more than an ant."
Zhao Tianjie smoothed his clothes. Killing Lin Beichen was as easy as brushing off dust.
As he said this, he scanned the crowd with his gaze, causing everyone to inhale sharply and be filled with dread.
Zhao Wuxing had a look of pride, barely containing his excitement.
Zhao Huanglong restored his elder demeanor, with an air of calm arrogance.
Seeing this, Qi Tiankuang sighed wistfully. What a pity.
The duck in hand flew away, and the experts he hired at great expense were either dead or injured, their aftermath unknown.
Only Lady Qi, perhaps due to being a woman, had a trace of softness in her heart.
Lin Beichen was indeed extraordinary. With his strength, he suppressed many extraordinary practitioners. If Zhao Tianjie hadn’t intervened, no one present would be a match for him.
But he went too far.
Zhao Tianjie’s intervention was like the hand of the Tathagata Buddha pressing down. No matter how the monkey wreaked havoc, it still must be suppressed under the Five Finger Mountain.
The world has many people, but few who could save Lin Beichen.
Besides Mr. Li Jiang, she knew only a few people, and none of them were in the Imperial Capital.
"I originally admired your talent and wanted you to join the Medicine Immortal Pavilion, to nurture you carefully and make you famous. But you did not know your place, not following the rules, and have ended up in this manner. You can’t blame me for this."
In everyone’s eyes, Lin Beichen had already been sentenced to death.
Other than bowing his head, there was nothing else he could do.
But at this moment, Lin Beichen gave a faint smile.
"So this is the pride of the ancient clans. I thought you had deep foundations after accumulating power for a hundred years. But now it seems, you are just frogs at the bottom of a well."
In the manor where Lin Beichen was temporarily residing, a cold-looking woman stood at the door, blocking Zhao Weinan with a staff.
"Zhao Yixia, why are you stopping me? Young Master Lin is a distinguished guest of our family. Elder Zhao has already said he will not trouble him anymore. Why are you stopping me from seeing him..."
Zhao Weinan said anxiously.
Like an ice maiden formed from a millennium of frost, the young girl looked coldly at Zhao Weinan, with a trace of pity in her eyes.
"Zhao Weinan, the family’s decision is not something you and I can oppose. Both thunder and rain are blessings from the ruler. What else can we do but accept?"
"You first sent me to Lin Beichen to appease him, and now you turn around to kill him. I’m just like a plaything, being sent back and forth. Am I still a part of this family?"
Zhao Weinan’s body trembled slightly.
"The elder will not mistreat you. As long as you subdue Lin Beichen and extract the elixir secret recipe from him, you will naturally be vindicated.
Moreover, the family has already found a suitable match for you. He is also from a prestigious family and will not mistreat you."
Zhao Yixia reached out and gently caressed Zhao Weinan’s delicate face.
