522: Chapter 522 Head-to-Head

Yun Qingqing complained a lot in the room.

She had complained countless times about things like the Third Prince not being a good person.

After chatting with Jiang Ning, Yun Qingqing's mood calmed down a lot. In fact, she understood the relationships involved, but she simply couldn't keep things bottled up and had to let them out.

It wasn't convenient to find anyone else. After thinking it over, having lived in the Imperial City for so many years, Jiang Ning, an outsider, was the only one left she could truly speak her mind to and complain about the Imperial Family.

After seeing Yun Qingqing off.

Jiang Ning said, "The Third Prince is determined to win this time. I believe that in a few days, news of the Wonderful Elixir Pavilion will spread through every street and alley of the Imperial City, and then to other prefectures and counties.

At that time, many Alchemists will surely be drawn by the news and come to the Wonderful Elixir Pavilion to give it a try.

Despite all his calculations, the Third Prince surely wouldn't expect that the Spirit Pill Hall would invest so much this time, even bringing out their most fundamental Ascension Spirit Secret Method.

This time, he is destined to fail again."

Shen Jinhuan looked at Jiang Ning's occasionally furrowed brows, took his hand, and massaged the pressure point between his thumb and index finger.

Qing Dai smiled and said, "The Third Prince also wouldn't expect the Master to have such a plan. If he knew, wouldn't he cough up blood in anger?"

As she spoke, Qing Dai burst out laughing.

Jiang Ning shook his head. "The Third Prince shouldn't keep banging his head against a wall in the world of Alchemy. He wants to break through this wall to significantly boost his strength.

But if he focused his efforts on consolidating his existing power, it would yield better results.

One can only say that the Third Prince suffered such a heavy defeat in Alchemy that he developed a Heart Demon regarding gaining the support of Alchemy forces. If this continues, I think the Third Prince will be finished sooner or later."

Qing Dai did not speak.

In the afternoon, Elixir Patrol sent someone to find Jiang Ning and mentioned the Wonderful Elixir Pavilion, but he didn't care much. After all, the Spirit Pill Hall was very well-prepared this time.

He called Jiang Ning over mainly to make some preparations regarding the Academy.

...

It was just as Jiang Ning expected.

Two days later.

In an area of the Imperial City.

The Head of the Liu Family and the Head of the Sun Family stood with their hands behind their backs, surrounded by the heads of many Alchemy families that couldn't quite be called Noble Families, as well as a group of Elders.

Usually, it was too difficult to meet these Noble Family heads. Now that they were all in the same boat, taking advantage of this opportunity, the people from these families were fawning over the two Noble Families.

The Liu Family Head and the Sun Family Head glanced at each other, ignoring the voices of these small families.

A Noble Family is a Noble Family. Even if they had fallen to this state, they were still Noble Families; how could they compromise with these so-called Alchemy families?

This was the pride of the Pill Refining Noble Families!

Not to mention, with the Third Prince providing so many resources, it wouldn't be long before they regained their glory and even stood at the peak of the Pill Refining Noble Families!

The surrounding Cultivators were buzzing with discussion.

After a while, a luxurious carriage arrived, carrying a plaque.

The Liu Family Head smiled and said, "It's about time."

The two Noble Family heads stepped forward, took the plaque, and received a small object.

Then, with a wave of a hand.

A pavilion rose up directly.

The white jade pavilion radiated Spiritual Qi, with the rhyme of the Dao seemingly flowing within. If Jiang Ning were here, he would surely recognize it as the White Jade Palace the Third Prince had brought to his door that day!

For the sake of the Wonderful Elixir Pavilion, the Third Prince had even brought out this costly palace of his.

Now, the palace had changed its appearance.

The nine-story palace became the tallest building in the area, and being made of white jade, it appeared solemn and incredibly luxurious.

The surrounding Cultivators had never seen such a treasure; as they watched the White Jade Palace grow taller, they all marveled in amazement.

"The Wonderful Elixir Pavilion has quite the foundation!"

"With two Noble Families leading the way, plus other Alchemy families, how could the scale be small?"

"Didn't they say there's also a Court Alchemist serving as the Pavilion Master? I wonder if we'll get a chance to see them."

As they spoke, a carriage drawn by a Pegasus arrived, and everyone bowed.

"Welcome, Pavilion Master!"

Hearing this, the onlookers fell silent.

In the sky, the person in the carriage lifted the side curtain, revealing a face that appeared to be no more than twenty years old. The person had delicate features and a flame pattern on their forehead.

This flame didn't make people feel the person had a bad temper; instead, looking at the face made one feel calm.

This person was the Court Alchemist, Quiet.

Quiet looked at the White Jade Palace, now the Wonderful Elixir Pavilion, and gave a soft "Mm."

He waved his hand, and the plaque placed to the side was directly fixed above the main entrance of the first floor of the Wonderful Elixir Pavilion.

The covering curtain fell away naturally, and the three characters for "Wonderful Elixir Pavilion" gave off a fragrant pill aroma.

Seeing this, the Liu Family Head's eyes lit up. "As expected of a carving by Great Master Quiet using the rhyme of the Pill Dao. Just looking at these three characters makes one feel at peace."

The Sun Family Head chimed in, "From now on, I'm afraid people will linger at the entrance of the Wonderful Elixir Pavilion, unwilling to leave!"

With just this move, the Wonderful Elixir Pavilion had surpassed the Spirit Pill Hall, which had a very simple plaque.

After the plaque was hung, Quiet lowered the curtain. The white Pegasus pulling the carriage let out a long neigh, turned, and headed toward the Imperial Palace.

The Cultivators breathed a sigh of relief.

"Being able to see a Court Alchemy Master gives me a lot more to brag about."

"The Wonderful Elixir Pavilion is much more impressive than I imagined."

"The Dao rhyme on this plaque is useful not only for Alchemists but also for Cultivators!"

At this time, the Liu Family Head faced the crowd and said, "Everyone, the Wonderful Elixir Pavilion is hereby established. In the future, if you have any matters concerning Alchemy, you can..."

After finishing the business talk.

The Sun Family Head began to extend an olive branch to the Alchemists. "We also welcome fellow practitioners to join our Wonderful Elixir Pavilion. Every ten days, our pavilion will provide guidance and lessons to those members who have made significant contributions.

There will even be opportunities to hear Great Master Quiet preach the art of Alchemy!"

This was a huge temptation for Alchemists.

Immediately after, the doors of the Wonderful Elixir Pavilion opened, and the hall was instantly packed.

Inside were those who came to congratulate, those coming for business, and even more who were inquiring about various matters.

The Liu Family Head and the Sun Family Head felt full of confidence as they watched the Wonderful Elixir Pavilion get off to such a great start.

The Noble Families from before looked down on them; from now on, they would make it so those Noble Families could never hope to reach their level!

"Congratulations, Pavilion Master Sun."

"Pavilion Master Liu, congratulations to you as well!"

The two Family heads congratulated each other, their faces unable to hide their joy.

At the same time.

Spirit Pill Hall.

Today, the Spirit Pill Hall was closed to the public, and all the personnel from within came outside.

Several Noble Family Elders, as well as the Family heads, Core Disciples, and the Spirit Pill Hall's direct lineage teams, all stood facing the Spirit Pill Hall, looking at the building that had stood for a long time.

Jiang Ning looked at Elixir Patrol, who was at the front, and muttered to himself.

"Specially choosing the day the Wonderful Elixir Pavilion is established... Elder Dan must be truly angry in his heart."
