179: See Valley Master

The moment the sound wave swept through, two innocent Disciples fell to the ground.

Before the two could recover from their dizziness, Shen Lian's figure had slowly floated down before them.

"You are very lucky, but also very unfortunate."

"You are lucky because I don't want to kill anyone today. You are unfortunate because you won't have the chance to die by Shen Lian's hand."

"Call everyone in the Valley out to pay respects to your new Valley Revered Master."

With Shen Lian's command, he didn't give them a chance to hesitate, directly sending a palm strike that carried a strong gust of wind, sweeping the two into the Valley.

"Hmph, you are so weak that I can't even find a reason to kill you."

With a cold snort, Shen Lian turned to look at the approaching netherworld chariot.

Du Bingyan jumped out of the carriage. Seeing the ancient Mountain Gate of Medicine King Valley and the rich aroma of Spirit Medicine in the air, she couldn't help but feel ashamed.

"Revered Master, I..."

"Why are you shaking?"

"I'm not shaking."

"Then why are your legs trembling so violently?"

Even now, Du Bingyan still couldn't accept the fact that she was about to become the Valley Revered Master of Medicine King Valley.

In her impression, even if one were to become a new Valley Revered Master, it should be through a peaceful transition.

But Shen Lian used the most extreme method, relying on bloody threats and slaughter, to forcefully bring her here.

Without any research or consideration, was she, with her Qi Gathering Realm sewer-level cultivation, really suitable to be the new owner of Medicine King Valley?

"Cast aside all those useless thoughts in your head. That bitch Mu Yaoguang's pharmaceutical talent isn't even one-ten-thousandth of yours.

Yet she managed to sit firmly as the Valley Revered Master of Medicine King Valley for over a hundred years. Are you really worse than that bitch? Calm down, show the Aura of a Valley Revered Master,

don't disgrace me, Shen Lian, do you hear me!"

"Yes, Revered Master!"

Upon hearing Shen Lian say this, Du Bingyan's confidence immediately surged. She quickly composed herself, puffed out her chest, and looked straight ahead.

At this moment, countless figures surged out from within the Valley, surrounding the two of them.

"May I ask, Fellow Daoist, what brings you to our Medicine King Valley this time?"

A woman who appeared to be around forty years old bowed to Shen Lian.

"I am Liao Jingxian, the manager of the Valley. If Fellow Daoist has any instructions, please tell me directly."

Shen Lian gently fanned his Folding Fan and said in a deep voice to Du Bingyan: "Take out the Valley Revered Master's token."

Du Bingyan immediately took out the jade ruler from her storage ring and held it high, displaying it before them.

"Medicine King Ruler?"

Seeing the token, everyone's eyes changed simultaneously.

Shen Lian slowly began: "According to the rules of Medicine King Valley, whoever holds the Medicine King Ruler is the Revered Master of Medicine King Valley. Now, Du Bingyan is the new Revered Master of your Medicine King Glazed Valley!"

Liao Jingxian: "May I ask where Valley Master Mu is? This matter must be verified in person."

Shen Lian closed his eyes: "You want to see her?"

Liao Jingxian instinctively wanted to nod, but when she caught a glimpse of the sharp glint in Shen Lian's eyes, her scalp tingled, and she forcefully held back the words she was about to say.

"The Medicine King Ruler is indeed the Valley Revered Master's token, but the new Valley Master must complete three trials of Medicine King Valley before officially taking office. This is a rule set by the Medicine King, please forgive me, Fellow Daoist."

She was a smart person. The Medicine King Ruler was the Valley Revered Master's natal token; it would never be handed over to others.

Since the Medicine King Ruler was now in this woman's hands, something must have happened to Mu Yaoguang.

However, the Disciples in the Valley didn't actually have much affection for Mu Yaoguang.

Her pharmaceutical and medical skills were clearly mediocre, yet she insisted on pretending to be profound and unfathomable, even going so far as to suppress the pharmaceutical talents of the Valley Disciples out of jealousy.

Even the nine revolutions golden emperor pill was forcefully refined by Mu Yaoguang, compelling all the Disciples in the Valley to expend their vital essence.

If something truly happened to her, the Valley Disciples would certainly not feel as if the sky had fallen.

However, it was also impossible for them to immediately accept a new Valley Revered Master.

Seeing that the other party was not aggressive and was very sensible, Shen Lian then withdrew his killing intent.

"Which three trials?"

"The first trial: refine a sixth-grade Profound Absolute Pill within three days."

"The second trial: formulate an antidote for the Myriad Gu Poison within four hours."

"The last trial: obtain a drop of level eight Demonic Beast essence blood from the Three Immortal Caves in the Spirit Realm."

Upon hearing this, Du Bingyan's heart immediately sank.

She knew without even thinking that these three trials were beyond her current capabilities.

They all required extremely high cultivation to complete; otherwise, any one of them could directly lead to her demise.

Just as Du Bingyan was about to give up, Shen Lian calmly spoke: "These three trials are impossible for her to complete right now.

How about this: she will serve as Valley Revered Master for three years, and after three years, once her strength has improved, she can complete these trials?"

Liao Jingxian frowned, then looked at Du Bingyan, noticing her shallow cultivation. It was indeed impossible for her to complete any of these three trials, and her expression subtly changed.

"Fellow Daoist, I am truly sorry, but these are the rules of our Medicine King Valley."

Shen Lian directly interrupted her: "Rules? Can't they be changed? Also, this isn't a discussion with you, it's a notification! Don't test my patience!"

After speaking, his Immortal Realm Aura Pressure was released.

Immediately, everyone present, except Du Bingyan, broke into a cold sweat and knelt on the ground.

The fear of death instantly pressed down on Liao Jingxian and the others.

"Revered Master, no."

Seeing the situation about to spiral out of control, Du Bingyan, not knowing where she found the courage, immediately stepped forward to shield Shen Lian.

"What do you intend to do?"

The question caused Du Bingyan's heart to tremble violently.

But she still suppressed her fear and said to Shen Lian: "Since Revered Master has agreed to let me become the Valley Revered Master of Medicine King Valley,

then as the Valley Revered Master, I have a duty to protect everyone in the Valley.

They are only doing their duty; their crime does not warrant death. I ask Revered Master to forgive them this time."

As her words fell, Du Bingyan herself couldn't believe she had the courage to say such things to Shen Lian.

Shen Lian gazed at Du Bingyan quietly and slowly said: "Even if it costs you your life? Du Bingyan, you'd better think carefully!

Killing these disobedient ants will only benefit you in stabilizing Medicine King Valley, with no harm whatsoever!"

Du Bingyan still shook her head firmly: "Revered Master, Disciple has thought it through very clearly. These Valley Disciples will work with Disciple in the future.

They are very familiar with Valley affairs. Replacing them with a new group would only waste too much of Disciple's time adapting to this environment alone.

Please, Revered Master, be merciful and spare them."

Liao Jingxian and the others behind her felt a warm current flow through their hearts upon hearing this.

Regardless of whether this Revered Master and Disciple pair were putting on an act, the feeling of Du Bingyan protecting them was something they would never experience from Mu Yaoguang.

"Hmph."

Shen Lian withdrew his Aura Pressure and looked at Liao Jingxian: "Get up."

The Aura Pressure on Liao Jingxian receded, and she immediately felt a sense of relief.

Before she could respond, Shen Lian threw her three hunyuan pills and six tribulation crossing pills.

"Are these Medicinal Pills enough for her to safely hold the position of Valley Revered Master for these three years?"

Liao Jingxian's pupils immediately constricted, and she quickly covered her mouth to prevent herself from making a sound.

Heavens, hunyuan pills, tribulation crossing pills, and they were all top-grade, perfectly pure without a trace of Impurities, and so many at once!

With these Medicinal Pills alone, let alone three years, she could be Valley Revered Master for three hundred years.

She suppressed her inner excitement, immediately knelt down to Du Bingyan with a pleasant expression: "Greetings, Valley Revered Master!"
