Chapter 311: Chapter 227: Celestial Pill Pavilion! Pill Saint! Emperor Body?_2
Even within the Celestial Pill Pavilion, there are only a few that can compare.
"Peak Master, do you know... if the Pill Saint elder will be coming?"
Elder Sun asked expectantly.
"What are you thinking?"
Shen Bainian chuckled and reprimanded lightly, "My senior brother is already very old, how could he travel such a long distance to come here?"
"Moreover..."
Not sure what he thought of, he sighed softly,
"My senior brother hasn’t had it easy these days, the Celestial Pill Pavilion... is too chaotic."
All the elders present nodded silently upon hearing this.
Being from the Celestial Pill Pavilion, they understood well what this meant.
The old Pavilion Master is about to pass, the new Pavilion Master has yet to be chosen, and turmoil is brewing within the Celestial Pill Pavilion.
The reason they left was because they didn’t want to get involved in this muddy water.
"Alright."
Shen Bainian, seeming a bit troubled, waved his hand, "The people we borrowed will arrive in a few days, just arrange as you see fit."
...
Main peak of the Little Immortal Sect, in the main hall.
"Father, Chang Qing agreed, how is the situation with the secret realm?"
Miao Feng returned to the sect and immediately went to find Miao Ba.
She had been waiting for the Phoenix inheritance for over twenty years, and she couldn’t wait any longer.
"Don’t rush."
Seeing the hurried Miao Feng, Miao Ba frowned and said, "Since Chang Qing has agreed, there shouldn’t be any major issues within the secret realm."
"However... that group of people has appeared again recently."
Miao Feng’s expression changed upon hearing this.
In fact, during this period, she had taken some time to go to the secret realm, hoping to handle it on her own.
Obviously, she only made it halfway before she couldn’t hold on and had to withdraw.
But as she was about to leave, she discovered another group of people!
Their goal was also the Phoenix Secret Realm.
However, unlike her, those people didn’t have the exact location of the secret realm.
They could only estimate roughly and continuously hovered within a hundred miles of the secret realm.
"Who exactly are they?"
"The entrance to the Phoenix Secret Realm appears randomly, only those with the Phoenix bloodline can find its location."
"Just how did they manage to find that vicinity?"
Miao Feng furrowed her brows, feeling greatly puzzled about this.
"Those people are very strong, they might have other means."
After pondering for a moment, Miao Ba spoke, "I will have someone divert them during this period."
"Once it’s completely safe, I’ll notify you and Chang Qing."
Miao Ba originally intended to seal off the entire area.
However, doing so would cause too much commotion and inevitably attract attention.
Moreover, the entrance to the Phoenix Secret Realm changes location each time it appears.
There was no choice, he could only use the simplest method to temporarily lure those people away.
Miao Feng frowned and nodded, looking into the distance,
"This is all we can do, hopefully, nothing unexpected happens."
...
Southern region, Red Flame Mountain Range.
The temperature here is extremely high, the forests growing here are mostly fire-attribute spirit woods, and few people visit this place.
Yet during this time, a group of powerful cultivators has been continuously circling the area wielding a compass.
"Strange, this Fire Spirit Compass can sense all the exotic flames of the world."
"The compass shows that there should be an exotic flame nearby, so why can’t it be found?"
A man in blue clothes looked at the compass in his hand, frowning deeply.
"Senior Brother Song, could it be that the dense fire energy here is causing the compass to malfunction?"
A disciple accompanying him asked.
"Impossible!"
Senior Brother Song shook his head with certainty, "Our Celestial Pill Pavilion’s Fire Spirit Compass is an extraordinary treasure in the world."
"Back then, Junior Brother Jun’s Netherworld Abyssal Flame was found using this very item, how could it be wrong?"
Upon hearing the name ’Junior Brother Jun’, everyone present showed expressions of awe.
In the Celestial Pill Pavilion, ’Jun Yu’ is known as the Little Pill King, holding the ninth-ranked Netherworld Abyssal Flame from the Exotic Flame List.
His status, strength, and talent are privately respected as the Young Pavilion Master.
"Looks like we need to invite Junior Brother Jun over."
Song Cheng gazed around and said, "Exotic flames have a special connection."
"We can’t find it, but Junior Brother Jun definitely can!"
A nearby disciple hesitated before speaking, "But I’ve heard that the Young Pavilion Master’s temper isn’t very good."
"If this news is false, we might face trouble."
Everyone present changed their expressions upon hearing this.
Initially, the Young Pavilion Master was quite approachable, but ever since obtaining the Netherworld Abyssal Flame, his demeanor had changed abruptly.
It was common for him to scold or beat, and there were even rumors of him privately killing people out of anger.
"Don’t worry."
Senior Brother Song looked at the compass in his hand and said confidently, "There is definitely an exotic flame here!"
"I’ve already sent a message to Junior Brother Jun, he will be here soon, just wait quietly."
...
Little Immortal Sect, Pill Peak.
Two days have passed in the blink of an eye, and the people invited by Peak Master Shen Bainian from the Celestial Pill Pavilion arrived quickly.
The most exciting part for the elders was that the legendary Pill Saint Ye Jingshan actually came too!
For a time, Pill Peak was bustling with activity.
The elders gathered around an old man with a gentle face and white hair.
While paying their respects, they also looked hopefully for some guidance.
Though they were all elders, they couldn’t compare in alchemy techniques.
"Shoo, shoo, what do you look like all gathered here?"
Shen Bainian rushed over upon hearing the news, shooed the crowd away in exasperation, and then greeted with a bitter smile:
"I made a fool out of myself before my senior brother, didn’t expect such a small matter to bring you here personally."
He and Ye Jingshan were from the same sect.
Though they were senior and junior brothers, it was his senior brother who taught him the most about alchemy.
Thus, he held Ye Jingshan in high esteem.
"Haha, being inside the Celestial Pill Pavilion got dull, I came out for a little relaxation."
Ye Jingshan chuckled, then looked at a young girl beside him, about thirteen or fourteen years old,
"Little Chu, aren’t you going to pay your respects to your martial uncle?"
