Asura Emperor Venerable
Chapter 372: Taking Sides

Chapter 372: Chapter 372: Taking Sides

The path of the Pill Master differs from any other power.

It could be considered a rather loose force, or even just an alliance, but because of the Pill Masters’ uniqueness, the Alchemy Dao stood high above and held a transcendent status, rarely provoked by other forces.

——For those who cultivate, who can do without Elixirs?

Thus, once Zhao Zhang heard that these seven people were from the Alchemy Dao, he dared not even fart, hastily nodding with humility, "Yes, yes, yes, we’ve disturbed you all, we’ll change spots right away."

He made a gesture to pull Shi Hao, but the Dark Patterned Leopard snarled with bared teeth, scaring him into retracting his hand.

This was a creature that could scare away a pack of Silver Armored Wolves; he couldn’t provoke this one either.

"What, you still don’t want to scram?" the Qing Yi-clad man looked at Shi Hao, his face full of disdain.

Pill Masters could be considered superior to Martial Artists; for example, a two-star Pill Master could fully disregard a Soul Nurturing realm and act as if they were from the Other Shore realm.

This face, the Martial Artists had to give.

Shi Hao appeared to be no more than twenty years old, what realm could he be at?

He was afraid, my ass!

Moreover, his companion had already shown such cowardice, clearly, this guy surely had no backing.

Shi Hao replied with a faint smile, "Is this place owned by your family?"

"Hmph, not to say that we were here first, but now that we have arrived, you only have the option to beat it immediately!" the Qing Yi-clad man arrogantly stated.

"Just because you are Pill Masters?" Shi Hao shook his head.

"Exactly, being a Pill Master means being awesome, it means you can do what you want!" the Qing Yi-clad man retorted, "What, you have a problem with that?"

"Brother Shi! Brother Shi!" Zhao Zhang quickly advised, "Don’t act impulsively; they are Pill Masters, upsetting them could mean no one on the Eastern Fire Continent would sell you Elixirs."

Could cultivation exist without Elixirs?

How would you increase your cultivation? What would you do if you were injured? What if you were poisoned?

Therefore, Elixirs had long since permeated the lives of Martial Artists.

Shi Hao smiled faintly, "It’s just refining a few Elixirs, what’s so great about that?"

This statement greatly offended them; although the other six had not been paying attention to them, upon hearing Shi Hao’s words, they all looked over, casting angry glances.

"Such arrogance!" a white-clad young man stepped forward; he was tall and handsome, and his appearance immediately made the two women in the group reveal infatuated looks, their eyes practically sparkling with little stars.

"Senior Brother Gui, he dares to insult our entire group of Pill Masters!" the previous Qing Yi-clad man turned back to say, his face full of rage.

The white-clad young man, Gui Zhinan, nodded, his gaze fixed on Shi Hao, "Dare you reveal your name? I can assure you, from this moment on, you won’t be able to get a single Elixir from any Pill Master or medicine shop."

"Brother Shi! Brother Shi!" Zhao Zhang hurriedly advised Shi Hao again, "Please don’t be rash!"

Cultivating without Elixirs, what kind of cultivation is that?

Shi Hao smiled slightly, "I am Shi Hao."

Pfft!

Zhao Zhang suddenly burst out, thinking you are way too straightforward.

It’s over, for life, he would be blacklisted by the Alchemy Dao.

"Good, I’ve noted down this name," nodded the white-clad Qing Yi, "Remember what I said, from now on, forget ever getting a single Elixir."

"You think I’d believe you just because you say so?" Shi Hao laughed.

"Haha, do you know who Senior Brother Gui is?" the Qing Yi-clad man immediately jumped up to brown-nose, "Gui Zhitian, a genius in the Alchemy Dao, who became a two-star Pill Master at the age of nineteen! And recently, Senior Brother Gui has been able to refine three-star Elixirs, though he hasn’t passed the assessment yet."

Gui Zhinan stood proudly; indeed, he had reached the threshold of a three-star Pill Master, but not to the exaggerated extent the Qing Yi-clad man claimed, that he had refined three-star Elixirs, but rather semifinished products.

However, this also proved that he was only one step away from becoming a three-star Pill Master.

"That name sounds weird. I don’t like it," Shi Hao turned to Zhao Zhang and said.

Zhao Zhang could only force a smile. How was he supposed to respond to that?

Gui Zhitian couldn’t help but get annoyed and looked at Zhao Zhang, "Do you also think my name is strange?"

Damn, what did I do wrong? Why make things difficult for me?

Zhao Zhang gave a bitter smile and said, "I agree with Brother Shi’s words."

—Whether the name is weird or not isn’t important, what matters is his attitude, his allegiance.

Zhao Zhang didn’t want to offend the Alchemy Dao, but Shi Hao had saved his life, so there was no way he could abandon Shi Hao at this moment.

Otherwise, would he even be human?

Gui Zhitian’s expression immediately turned extremely ugly. Knowing his identity, Zhao Zhang still dared to side with Shi Hao. What kind of contempt was this toward him?

"Fine! Fine! Fine!" he said menacingly, "You two will never get an Elixir from the hands of the Alchemy Dao in your lifetimes!"

He was a genius of the Alchemy Dao, and it was said that apart from that legendary monster, there was no one younger, or could surpass him in rank as a Pill Master.

In the future, he would at least become a four-star Pill Master, so of course, his influence was extraordinary. It was just a matter of excluding two people, everyone would give him face.

Things had come to this point, and Zhao Zhang was committed, he just gave a faint smile and couldn’t be bothered to pay more attention.

"Don’t worry, not only will you have Elixirs in this lifetime, but you will also have plenty," Shi Hao said with a laugh, patting Zhao Zhang on the shoulder.

Naturally, Zhao Zhang could only force a smile.

You make it sound so easy.

Shi Hao was in high spirits and laughed, "Don’t you believe me?"

"Heh," Zhao Zhang felt too embarrassed to contradict him, so he just laughed.

With a thought from Shi Hao, a Pill Furnace suddenly appeared on the ground.

Huh?

Gui Zhitian and his group suddenly showed astonished expressions. Could it be that Shi Hao was also a Pill Master?

Zhao Zhang was also surprised. In his memory, Shi Hao was supposed to be a Beast Taming Master. How had he suddenly turned into a Pill Master?

No, no, no, having a Pill Furnace doesn’t necessarily make one a Pill Master.

Shi Hao laughed loudly, "Here, let me refine a few Elixirs for you."

He immediately started the furnace, but he refined the very lowest tier of one-star Elixirs and quickly finished.

He took out the Elixirs and threw them all to Zhao Zhang and then looked at Gui Zhitian, "Didn’t you say that no Pill Master would give us Elixirs?"

How could this have been expected?

Gui Zhitian felt a bit depressed. Shi Hao could actually perform Alchemy!

He was also a Pill Master!

Damn, this just crushed his grand statements because even if all the Pill Masters in the world refused to refine Elixirs for Shi Hao, couldn’t Shi Hao refine them himself?

So annoying! How frustrating!

But then, he changed his thoughts, and a smile appeared on his face.

If you are a part of the Alchemy Dao, then that’s easy to handle!

"Shi Hao, since you are a one-star Pill Master, shouldn’t you kneel and show your respects when you see me?" Gui Zhitian said proudly, a sneer on his face.
