469: Full power

Seeing this, Song Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

He also gave Jiang Ning a grateful look; if it hadn't been for Jiang Ning, he definitely wouldn't have been able to stop Yun Qingqing when she tried to rush out earlier while he was being swarmed by a crowd.

Fortunately, this little auntie had been pacified for now.

He sent a voice transmission: "It's lucky Brother Jiang is with us on this trip, otherwise this little auntie might not have listened to me."

Without realizing it, Song Qi had changed how he addressed Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning nodded.

It was nothing; he didn't want anything to happen to Yun Qingqing, and it had nothing to do with Song Qi.

But stopping things on this side didn't mean they could be stopped on the other.

Pill Minister wanted to come over and mock the Spirit Pill Hall with a few words.

When the Pill Slave couldn't stop him, he sent a voice transmission to the subordinate leading the Third Prince's team.

The man walked over and spoke a few words, but seeing that Pill Minister was still acting regardless of the consequences, he simply gave up trying to stop him.

The conflict between the Third Prince and the Spirit Pill Hall was already an old, irreconcilable grudge.

Offending the Spirit Pill Hall further didn't matter; as they say, when you have too many debts, one more doesn't weigh you down.

Moreover, the more Pill Minister's relationship with the Spirit Pill Hall soured, the more he would be unable to leave His Highness the Third Prince, which was beneficial to the Prince.

Pill Minister glanced at the Pill Slave, fire burning in his heart.

He walked over.

He spoke to the group of Cultivators surrounding the Spirit Pill Hall: "They are just a bunch of mediocre Disciples from the Spirit Pill Hall. There is no need for you to flatter them like this; not a single one of them is worth looking at.

It's just a case of 'when the tiger is away from the mountain, the monkey becomes king.'"

Upon hearing this, there was dead silence.

Everyone had originally wanted to stand up for the Spirit Pill Hall and ask 'Who the hell are you?', but upon seeing Pill Minister, they immediately fell silent.

This was the Third Prince's favorite.

The Third Prince hoped to create an Alchemy organization under his own control, and it was said that this Pill Minister was the one leading the effort.

The Spirit Pill Hall was not to be trifled with, but the Third Prince was even more dangerous.

Shutting up, staying quiet, and silently watching the drama was the best course of action.

Song Qi let out a sigh.

He looked somewhat helpless.

Pill Minister was acting like a 'villain who had achieved his ends'.

Song Qi held back Yun Qingqing, who wanted to step forward, and said to Pill Minister with a smile: "Great Master Pill Minister, you also came from the Spirit Pill Hall, and Hall Master Elixir Patrol treated you well. There's no need to let the relationship deteriorate to this point."

Pill Minister smiled. "My Comprehension Ability is my own. Even without Elixir Patrol, I would have eventually walked the path of Alchemy."

Yun Qingqing couldn't take it anymore.

She said with a smile: "Eventually? Pill Minister, do you really not understand? It was Teacher Elixir Patrol who pulled you out of the fields. You probably can't even remember what your name used to be, can you?

Let me remind you: your name was A Sheng. Do you know why you were called A Sheng? In the village, they say a 'lowly name' makes a child easier to raise. Sheng, Sheng, Sheng... wasn't it because your family couldn't get enough to eat, and they pinned their hopes for life on their child?

I remember when you first came to the Spirit Pill Hall, you didn't seem this fair-skinned, did you?

Back then, even a Cleansing Technique wasn't enough for you. You were pitch black and your face was wrinkled. Did you change all that later with Medicinal Pills?"

Pill Minister's background was a secret known only to a portion of the Spirit Pill Hall.

Jiang Ning only knew because he had read the novel.

This was a secret.

Hearing this, the group of Cultivators all showed shocked expressions.

Wherever Pill Minister went, he carried himself with an air of importance, dressed meticulously, and spoke with the temperament of a Young Master from a great family. To think he had such a background?

Everyone sized up Pill Minister, truly unable to imagine it.

Was this something they were allowed to hear!

Watching this drama was just too satisfying.

Pill Minister felt that the gazes of these people were filled with mockery and contempt.

Suddenly, blood rushed to his head, and his face turned red with embarrassment.

Yun Qingqing continued her verbal assault, specifically targeting Pill Minister's weaknesses. "After you left the Spirit Pill Hall, I thought about going to take revenge on your parents. I actually found them, but after I arrived...

The old couple was very simple and honest. Hearing that I shared a teacher with you, they didn't forget to thank the teacher, saying he allowed them to live a life they never dared to dream of before.

Pill Minister, you've already joined the Third Prince's side. I don't believe you can't even take care of your parents a little more, to the point that the old couple is still living on the money Teacher Elixir Patrol gave them.

What, do you want to cut ties with your parents that badly?"

Yun Qingqing sneered, "Are you... just feeling inferior?"

Jiang Ning suddenly laughed.

This girl's ability to strike where it hurts was truly no worse than her Alchemy Technique.

Pill Minister completely lost it. He roared at the Pill Slave: "Kill her for me! Kill this whole group of people for me! Kill them all!"

The Pill Slave was speechless.

Setting aside whether he could win the fight, these were all people from the Spirit Pill Hall.

The leader of the Third Prince's side couldn't sit still either, silently cursing 'trash'. He couldn't even control his own temper yet insisted on provoking others. Is this all Pill Minister was?

He hurriedly pulled Pill Minister behind him and said apologetically: "Everyone, I'm sorry. He's had some wine and is drunk."

It was true that the Third Prince and the Spirit Pill Hall were at odds.

But they hadn't thought about starting a war right now!

Having an irreconcilable conflict and being mortal enemies who fight on sight were two completely different concepts!

"I haven't had any wine!"

Pill Minister was indignant.

The leader on the Third Prince's side raised an eyebrow and gave his subordinates a look. The group then supported Pill Minister as they walked away.

Jiang Ning said with a smile: "Everyone, please wait a moment."

He looked at Pill Minister. "Being inferior in skill is nothing to be ashamed of. It is the mindset of the narrow-minded to be unable to tolerate others because of one's own lack of skill. Pill Minister, have you never wondered why you've become like this?"

The leader of the Third Prince's team cupped his hands.

He said nothing.

Because he knew Jiang Ning was right.

Pill Minister's magnanimity was truly too small.

The farce ended with this result. The people from the Spirit Pill Hall laughed loudly, and the surrounding Cultivators also wanted to laugh, but they were afraid of offending Pill Minister and the Third Prince's group.

They weren't as popular as the Spirit Pill Hall, and after entering the Immortal Cave, everyone would be competitors.

If they offended the Third Prince's group and those people decided to kill them after entering the Immortal Cave, it wouldn't be something they could bear.

Afterward.

The Third Prince's leader's side also kept a close watch on Pill Minister.

He was afraid Pill Minister would get beaten, but more importantly, he was afraid Pill Minister would stir up more trouble.

They were here to fight for the Legacy, not to make enemies for the Third Prince.

That night.

To Jiang Ning's surprise, the leader sent by Zhao Mianshuang this time sent him a voice transmission.

"Lord Jiang, the Princess said that after entering the Immortal Cave, if there is a need, our people are at your disposal."

Jiang Ning replied with a "Thanks," being polite and courteous, which made the other party feel much more comfortable. With Pill Minister as a precedent, they were afraid Jiang Ning might be the same kind of person.

Fortunately, the Princess's judgment of character was always accurate.

Two days later.

There was a fluctuation in space.

After a period of distorted and oppressive spatial pressure, a spatial vortex appeared. It was extremely twisted, making one feel oppressed and uncomfortable just looking at it.

The leaders of the several royal children looked at each other.

"Everyone, the Spatial Node has appeared. Please strike together to expand this space. Afterward, what you can obtain will depend on your own abilities!"
