Wu Shaoyu fell to the ground and then sprang up like a coil, furiously roaring, “Dad, kill him, kill him!”

“Yu’er, are you hurt?

Here, quickly take a Blood Coagulation Solid Pill,” the Third Hall Master said with a face full of concern.

Seeing that Wu Shaoyu was alright, he then turned his head to look at Lin Xuan.

However, the murderous look in his eyes retracted like encountering a poison snake upon seeing the Token in Lin Xuan’s hand.

“Hall Master Token!”

the Third Hall Master exclaimed in shock.

The Second Hall Master was also surprised, and after scrutinizing carefully, she confirmed that it indeed was the Hall Master Token.

“Are you sent by the Great Hall Master?” she asked, puzzled.

“Wrong, not sent, the Great Hall Master asked me to come!” Lin Xuan said with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth.

“Asked you to come?” Everyone was stunned.

Had this guy gone mad?

“What did he ask you to come for?” the Third Hall Master asked, as he was still quite wary of the Great Hall Master.

“Of course, to save you all,” Lin Xuan said solemnly.

“Dan King Hall has been suppressed to the point of not being able to hold up its head; don’t you want to rebel?”

Upon hearing this the disciples around shuddered, and even the two Hall Masters became silent.

They certainly wanted to, they just didn’t have a way.

“Dad, don’t listen to his nonsense!

What can a kid, who hasn’t even grown all his hair, possibly do!” Wu Shaoyu shouted frantically.

“Shut up!” The Third Hall Master loved his son but valued the competition more.

“Do you really have a way?” he asked.

“Of course, otherwise why would I be here?” Lin Xuan said with a smile.

Lin Xuan’s calm and collected demeanor didn’t seem feigned at all.

“Please, come inside, Mr.

Lin.

The child doesn’t understand matters, I hope you’ll forgive his impertinence,” the Third Hall Master showed he was indeed a personage, capable of bending and stretching; at this moment, it was as if he had forgotten the previous matter entirely and was extremely hospitable.

The Second Hall Master also smiled and said, “Since you are someone the Great Hall Master has asked to come, naturally, you are a distinguished guest of Dan King Hall.”

“Someone, quickly prepare the finest Spiritual Tea!”

A group of people carefully accompanied Lin Xuan into Dan King Hall, behaving as though Lin Xuan was the Hall Master.

The surrounding disciples were dumbfounded by how quickly the attitude had changed.

“He’s so young; how could he be a high-level expert?”

“Shush, appearances can be deceiving.

Maybe he prefers to keep a low profile!” The disciples whispered among themselves, with a look of alarm etched on their faces.

It had to be said that the Hall Master Token was very effective, as even the two Hall Masters’ attitudes toward Lin Xuan had changed.

It seemed the Great Hall Master’s renown was still intact, and they were indeed being too suffocated by the pressure from the Medicine Emperor Institute; they didn’t want to let go of any opportunity.

Lin Xuan was invited into a grand hall, where, apart from the two Hall Masters, there were other elders, all of whom were Elixir Masters.

Everyone gathered to see what Lin Xuan could offer.

“Mr.

Lin, do you really have a way to contend with the Medicine Emperor Institute?” the elders asked.

It wasn’t that they didn’t believe in him, but Lin Xuan was too young.

Had it been an old man, perhaps they would have been much more convinced.

“I know you all are doubtful because of my youth, but this time, I am here on the orders of my Master to help Dan King Hall.”

“So you needn’t worry about that.”

“If you really don’t believe me, you can ask the Great Hall Master later.”

“Master?

So that’s it, I thought this kid didn’t look like some high-level expert in the Alchemy Dao,” the elders realized.

Even the two Hall Masters believed him a lot more.

Mr.

Lin laughed, “But this time, it is not without compensation; it’s a trade.”

“A trade?” The crowd was briefly stunned, but they quickly came to an understanding.

Indeed, there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

“What sort of recompense does Mr.

Lin’s master seek?” asked the Third Hall Master.

“Regarding the recompense, it was already agreed upon when the Great Hall Master first requested my master’s help,” Mr.

Lin slowly said, “No treasures or spirit stones are needed, just a single White Dragon Ascending Pill will suffice.”

“What?

A White Dragon Ascending Pill!” The crowd exclaimed in shock.

“Mr.

Lin’s master surely has grand appetites!”

“Indeed, that is a fifth-grade elixir!”

“And it is an ancient elixir at that!”

A group of elders were reluctant, and even the two Hall Masters frowned.

“A fifth-grade elixir has never appeared in Heavenly Mountain Country before; this is the first time, and it is extraordinarily precious to us!” the Second Hall Master said, “How about we exchange it for something else?”

“How many spirit stones you require, we can satisfy!”

“Yes, just say the word!” proclaimed the Third Hall Master.

Mr.

Lin chuckled; he was not worried in the slightest.

“Although the White Dragon Ascending Pill is precious, could you obtain it without my master’s help?”

The people fell silent; under the current circumstances, they didn’t have the slightest chance of victory.

“When the time comes, not only will you fail to get the elixir, but I fear Dan King Hall’s reputation will also suffer,” Mr.

Lin said with a smile, “I’ve heard that the champion of the Pill King competition has always been from Dan King Hall.”

“And Dan King Hall got its name from that very fact.

If you were to lose the competition, I’m afraid the words ‘Dan King Hall’ would become difficult to utter in the future, wouldn’t they?”

The crowd was unsettled; Mr.

Lin’s words rang true.

If they lost the competition, they would indeed be too ashamed to bear the title of ‘Pill King.’

“I want the elixir, you want the reputation; each of us gets what we need.

Isn’t that a cause for mutual celebration?”

“I agree with what Mr.

Lin says, and I also trust the Great Hall Master!” an elder spoke up.

The speaker was Elder Jin, who had previously belonged to the Great Hall Master’s faction.

“Old Jin, I’m afraid it’s not your place to speak here!” another elder sneered, “Everything still needs to be decided by the two Hall Masters.”

“That’s right, and I do not agree to trade the White Dragon Ascending Pill,” Elder Li countered, “At present, we have only heard the words of this Mr.

Lin, and we know nothing of his master’s true capabilities.”

“This hasty decision-making is probably unwise.”

“Yes, if he really has the strength, let’s talk after the elixir is successfully refined.”

“If we manage to overcome the Medicine Emperor Institute, then there will be time to discuss terms afterward!”

Apart from Elder Jin, the others were underlings of the Third Hall Master, and they were now entertaining the notion of trying to get something for nothing.

The Third Hall Master nodded in agreement, “I think the elders have made good points.

Mr.

Lin, why not you first refine the elixir and after successfully resisting the Medicine Emperor Institute, we can discuss terms.”

“After all, fifth-grade elixirs are exceptionally precious, and we can’t be careless!

But rest assured, we will not let you suffer any losses!”

Mr.

Lin laughed, “It seems the elders are lacking in sincerity.”

“To tell the truth, with my master’s strength, we don’t have to choose your Dan King Hall.

Had it not been for the desperate pleas of your Great Hall Master, I wouldn’t even be here.”

“If you are unwilling, then I will seek others.”

“There are many participating in the Pill King competition, the Wang Family, the Du Family, anyone would do.

When someone else claims the title of Pill King, don’t you all cry then!”

Mr.

Lin flicked his sleeve and made to leave.

Seeing Mr.

Lin walking away, the crowd was in a panic, but to give up the White Dragon Ascending Pill was something they truly couldn’t reconcile with in their hearts.

And so, they watched as Mr.

Lin walked further and further away.

Then, a black shadow descended from the sky, shouting loudly, “Young Master Lin, please wait!”
