Chapter 185 The Pill Was Hijacked?
Back at Wanxiang Gate, Ding Yi first glanced at the tree and found Jiang Mingyue still lying there snoring, seemingly fast asleep.
Sometimes, Ding Yi was quite envious of the old man; he ate and slept, slept and ate, and had no worries at all.
However, thinking about his conversation with Liu Feng earlier, Ding Yi suddenly called out to the old man:
"Jiang Zhao!"
After Ding Yi shouted, Jiang Mingyue on the tree continued snoring, seemingly unresponsive to his shout.
Upon seeing this, Ding Yi shook his head slightly and then walked out of the courtyard.
Whether the old man is Jiang Zhao or not is not important at the moment. Besides, the old man is considered half his master. As long as he doesn't have bad intentions towards him, Ding Yi will just go along with his crazy behavior.
After all, given the old man's cultivation level, any killing intent would definitely be reflected on the quicksand map. Ding Yi had complete trust in the system's creations.
Ding Yi's small courtyard is located independently on the west side of the outpost. The courtyard is surrounded by evergreen jasmine trees, and even at the end of winter, it is still lush and green.
Under a tree, Ding Yi saw Wang Lin waiting there.
Since the old man moved into his own courtyard, Ding Yi has made this the place where they talk.
As Wang Lin saw Ding Yi approaching, he immediately bowed and greeted him with a smile.
"Boss, there's a bit of a problem with what you requested."
When Ding Yi approached, Wang Lin spoke somewhat nervously.
"Ok?"
Ding Yi frowned.
"Boss, there's only one Celestial Blood Pill left in the warehouse. The manager said it's already been reserved by Elder Wu."
Wang Lin, seeing Ding Yi's face had turned gloomy, quickly explained.
"Wu Hongchun?"
Ding Yi asked slowly.
"Yes, Elder Wu said his son needs this pill to break through the visceral barrier and enter the blood exchange stage, so he specifically contacted the steward and reserved this pill."
Wang Lin continued.
"What a joke! You can reserve this kind of thing? If I wanted to reserve a share for the next hundred years, would the alchemy manager still be there?!"
Ding Yi sneered, then asked.
"It should still be there."
Wang Lin stopped there.
"Okay, you can go now."
Ding Yi waved his hand, and Wang Lin hurriedly left. At this moment, he felt that staying in front of Ding Yi for even a second longer would be disrespectful to his own life.
Wu Hongchun didn't see the scene of Ding Yi's massacre at the Blood and Flesh Temple, but Wang Lin saw it from beginning to end!
After Wang Lin left, Ding Yi immediately snorted coldly.
This Celestial Phenomenon Blood Elixir is the best pill that can be obtained in the Myriad Phenomenon Sect, far superior to the Qi and Blood Elixir.
Right now, I'm about to use pills to strengthen my Evergreen Technique. If I don't have the Celestial Blood Pill and have to use the Qi and Blood Pill instead, I'll waste several or even more than ten years of my lifespan!
This is all my fate!
Okay, you want to kill me, huh!
Thinking of this, Ding Yi immediately turned around and walked towards the Pill Pavilion.
The Dan Pavilion of Wanxiang Gate is a three-story pavilion built at the northernmost part of the garrison. It occupies a small area, but no one dares to act recklessly here.
After all, the manager of the Pill Pavilion is in charge of the distribution and reward of pills for the entire sect, and he is a person with real power.
In this era of declining martial arts practitioners, even elixirs like Qi and Blood Pills are under control. The wandering martial arts practitioners outside the gate are even willing to risk their lives for a single Qi and Blood Pill.
But at that very moment, someone kicked open the door to the alchemy room and shouted inside:
"Where's the person in charge? Get out here, you bastard!!"
...
On the other side, Wu Hongchun was still drinking with his concubine in the courtyard. The two leaned against each other on the recliners and smiled at each other. The concubine looked at Wu Hongchun with a flirtatious expression, as if blaming him for the mischievous hand that had reached under her skirt.
Just then, the sound of hurried footsteps from his men suddenly rang out outside the courtyard gate, along with a voice:
"Elder! Elder!"
"What's the matter that you're in such a panic!?"
Wu Hongchun put down his wine cup, pushed his concubine away, frowned at his subordinate who rushed in, and asked in a cold voice.
"Elder Li is causing a scene in the Pill Pavilion, claiming that the pills are his."
The subordinate quickly replied.
"That idiot Li Baozheng?! Damn, I'm going there in a bit!"
Upon hearing Li Baozheng's name, Wu Hongchun knew what was going on, but he didn't panic at all. Instead, he waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
"Sir, I've heard that Li Baozheng is a brainless brute. You must be careful."
The concubine beside him spoke with some concern.
"He's just a simpleton. If the sect hadn't needed a scapegoat back then, would he have become an elder?!"
Wu Hongchun got up cursing and then strode out of the courtyard.
He wanted to see what kind of audacity Li Baozheng had to offend both him and the manager of Dan Pavilion at the same time.
However, when Wu Hongchun arrived at Dan Pavilion, she found that the scene there was completely different from what she had imagined.
A burly man with a thick beard stood with his arms crossed in the courtyard in front of the Pill Pavilion, a sneer on his face, while the manager of the Pill Pavilion stood beside him apologetically, saying something.
"Old Wu, come here, quickly apologize to Elder Li."
As soon as Wu Hongchun approached, Ma Wenbin, the manager of Dan Pavilion, greeted him.
Upon hearing this, Wu Hongchun was taken aback, but he snorted coldly and swaggered up to Li Baozheng.
"Elder Li, I heard you were looking for me?"
Wu Hongchun looked at Ding Yi and said with disdain.
"Signed."
Ding Yi took out a piece of paper from his pocket and threw it directly in front of Wu Hongchun.
"What the hell? A death contract?!"
Wu Hongchun didn't pay attention at first, but he was startled when he saw the heading on the paper.
What Ding Yi threw at him wasn't just any piece of paper; it was a death warrant signed by Li Baozheng!
There has always been an unwritten rule within the Wanxiangmen Gate.
If conflicts arise among the members of the sect, the most direct solution is to have a life-or-death duel.
In fact, this is a rule that has been passed down from the heyday of the warrior class.
In the martial world, matters are settled in the arena, determining not only superiority but also life and death!
"Elder Li! It's just a pill, there's no need to go to such extremes!"
Wu Hongchun's expression turned completely cold as he looked at the life-or-death agreement in his hand.
"If you want my life, then I'll take yours. It's fair."
A cold smile appeared on Ding Yi's lips, and then he spoke.
"Are you insane! It's just a pill, how could it possibly kill you!?"
Wu Hongchun was old, and although he still possessed the cultivation level of the Great Perfection of Blood Transformation, he suddenly felt a little scared when he looked at the young and strong Li Baozheng.
Therefore, he wanted the elixir but didn't want to fight in the arena.
"What? Oh, I see, you feel there's no reason."
"Don't worry, I've already had someone break your precious son's limbs, so you'll have a reason to do so."
Ding Yi looked at Wu Hongchun in front of him and immediately smiled and said.
"Fuck you..."
Wu Hongchun roared, but then he felt a flash before his eyes, and then an indescribable force came from above his head.
"Boom!"
With a muffled thud, Wu Hongchun was pinned to the ground.
