Chapter 342: Chapter 341: Entering Immortal King Valley

"I just investigated, and indeed there is a powerful Yin Power within the Cangyan Pill. If consumed, it will indeed be fatal..."

The girl named Tong Shishi spoke timidly.

Her voice was not loud, but it still caused a change in the expressions of everyone present.

If these words had come from anyone else, they would definitely not have believed them.

But since it was Tong Shishi who spoke them, they had no choice but to believe.

This was because Tong Shishi was a famously talented alchemist, who had become a Five Tripod Alchemist at a young age with a promising future!

Moreover, Tong Shishi was from the Liuhuo Dan Sect.

This Liuhuo Dan Sect was also a premier power within the entire Southern Domain; in this region, it was considered an Overlord-level existence.

The Liuhuo Dan Sect was also a sect that primarily consisted of alchemists, with many among them.

Many powerful alchemists were renowned masters in the Southern Domain.

It was precisely because of this that Tong Shishi’s words carried a great deal of weight.

After hearing her words, some of those seeking elixirs even wanted to throw away the Cangyan Pills in their hands. But then thinking that they were concocted by Master Cang Song, and also with Master Cang Song watching them, they dared not throw them away. With pale faces, holding the Cangyan Pills in their hands, they felt as if they were holding hot potatoes.

"Little Shishi, don’t talk nonsense!"

Master Cang Song, seated up high in the air, had a somewhat ugly expression, as he chided softly.

This remark was naturally a reminder to Tong Shishi.

This was about his reputation, and also about the face of the Immortal King Valley. If this matter wasn’t handled well today, it would be troublesome.

But Tong Shishi apparently didn’t think too much about it and weakly said, "Master Cang Song, there really is a problem with this..."

For a moment, some of the alchemists in the crowd, especially those who had received the Cangyan Pills, began to check them in turn.

They hadn’t thought there’d be a problem, but upon inspection, they discovered the same issue as Tong Shishi.

This Cangyan Pill truly did contain a very strong Yin Power!

If consumed, it would certainly be fatal!

Unavoidably, their faces turned pale.

Could it be that what that person said was true?!

Their glances towards Ye Xuan suddenly changed.

So it wasn’t Ye Xuan babbling nonsensically, but rather that they had misjudged!

Ridiculously, they had just been mocking Ye Xuan together a moment ago.

For a time, they all felt their faces growing hot.

They were utterly ashamed!

The other people seeking elixirs, the cultivators who had obtained the Cangyan Pills, although they were not alchemists, seeing the changing expressions of each alchemist, they all understood that there really was a problem with the Cangyan Pill.

Suddenly, everyone fell silent, looking towards Ye Xuan with strange expressions.

"Don’t listen to this kid’s nonsense; he’s just a fool!" Yao Jie, seeing that the situation was unfavorable, hurriedly covered for Master Cang Song.

The crowd heard this, and their expressions grew even stranger.

A fool? Could a fool discern the issue with the Cangyan Pill? It seems you’re the fool!

Seeing the crowd’s gaze turning unfavorable, Yao Jie turned pale, and with a dark face, he looked at Ye Xuan and coldly shouted, "Say it, which sect sent you here to cause trouble? If you don’t tell me, I’m going to chop you up today!"

In the midst of speaking, Yao Jie’s Grotto Heaven Peak aura burst forth.

This Yao Jie turned out to be a seasoned Sealing King Level cultivator.

Ye Xuan, however, didn’t even glance at Yao Jie; he just looked toward the girl named Tong Shishi with a faint smile.

At least it could be said that not everyone followed the crowd blindly.

Feeling Ye Xuan’s gaze, Tong Shishi’s pretty face blushed slightly, then she quickly said, "Master Cang Song, this gentleman was able to identify the problem with the Cangyan Pill at a glance. He surely possesses ability. I hope that for Shishi’s sake, you will not give him a hard time."

At this moment, Master Cang Song’s expression became extremely unsightly.

You’ve tarnished my reputation and still expect me to not settle accounts because of your presence?

What a joke!

However, now Master Cang Song could not voice these thoughts, making him feel extremely frustrated. In the hand hidden in his sleeve, a Cangyan Pill suddenly appeared.

After carefully inspecting it, Master Cang Song’s expression changed.

Could this Cangyan Pill really have a problem?!

Why hadn’t he noticed it yesterday?!

Master Cang Song’s expression went through several changes, and after a moment, he came to a realization.

It must have been someone tampering with it from behind.

He guessed right away that it must have been Xu Zhengfei’s doing!

This means...

Master Cang Song looked at Ye Xuan, his eyes unkind.

This person, was sent by Xu Zhengfei!

Otherwise, this young man couldn’t have possibly discerned the issue at first glance.

With this thought, Master Cang Song revealed a hint of a smile, saying, "Everyone, my apologies, it was indeed my oversight this time that led to a problem with the Cangyan Pill. Fortunately, little Shishi discovered it, otherwise, I would have harmed others."

"Here, I offer my apologies to you all."

As he spoke, Master Cang Song bowed to the crowd.

"You’re actually telling the truth..." Now it was Yao Jie’s turn to be in disbelief.

The obese young man prostrate on the ground was even more baffled.

What’s going on?

Could it be that everything Ye Xuan said was true?!

Was there really a problem with the Cangyan Pill?!

This truly made people struggle to believe it.

Seeing Master Cang Song admitting his fault, the cultivators who had come to Immortal King Valley seeking medicine all said, "Master Cang Song, no one is infallible. We often make mistakes too, and it’s understandable that even Master Cang Song could err once in a while; we still have great faith in Master Cang Song’s abilities!"

Many people expressed continued confidence in Master Cang Song.

As for whether they would actually maintain their confidence, that’s another matter.

"Then I thank you all for your generous affection. Tomorrow at this time, I will redistribute the elixirs as a way to apologize to everyone," Master Cang Song said with a smile, yet deep within his eyes, there was a trace of shade.

Especially when his gaze turned to Ye Xuan, he wished he could flay him alive.

Ye Xuan sensed Master Cang Song’s murderous intent, but he didn’t heed it.

All he did was speak out because he saw there was indeed something wrong with the Cangyan Pill.

After all, had he ignored it, it was likely that tens of thousands of people would have lost their lives.

No matter how it’s put, Immortal King Valley was a representative of the Immortal King Hall; if a scandal like this truly occurred in the Valley, it would tarnish the reputation of the Immortal King Hall.

He had come to seek assistance from the Immortal King Hall, so lending a hand along the way was also for the best.

Compared to personal reputation, the renown of the Immortal King Hall was far more critical.

Pointing out an issue with an elixir was trivial.

If someone actually consumed it, that would have caused a disaster.

As for Master Cang Song’s murderous intent, Ye Xuan couldn’t care less.

He was indifferent to any internal strife in the Immortal King Valley; he was merely here to seek the Valley Master and then enter the Immortal King Hall.

"This young brother must have also come to Immortal King Valley seeking medicine, right?" Master Cang Song said, smiling down at Ye Xuan.

"I’m looking for your Valley Master," Ye Xuan replied calmly, hands in pockets.

"Eh?"

The crowd was taken aback upon hearing this.

This guy, he’s actually looking for the Valley Master of Immortal King Valley?!

Isn’t it said that the Valley Master generally doesn’t meet with people, and only alchemists of the Eight Tripods level and above could warrant a personal appearance from the Valley Master, yet this guy wants to see the Valley Master?

Tong Shishi was also curiously gazing at Ye Xuan, noticing something extraordinary about him.

Just the fact that he had recognized the issue with the Cangyan Pill at a glance had already earned her great admiration.

She had always respected skilled alchemists.

Therefore, she had acquired a moniker known as ’Little Elixir Devotee’.

’Pretend, continue to pretend for this master!’ Seeing Ye Xuan earnestly say he wanted to meet the Valley Master, Master Cang Song sneered inwardly, but outwardly he kept his composure and said, "The Valley Master is currently in seclusion, so how about I attend to the young brother instead?"

Ye Xuan gave Master Cang Song a slightly skeptical look but still nodded.

He had the feeling that Master Cang Song was misunderstanding his intentions.

What he meant by asking if he could ’decide’ was whether he had the authority to go to the Immortal King Hall, not just enter the Immortal King Valley.

Regardless, he would enter the Immortal King Valley first and deal with the rest later.

So, under the incredulous gazes of Yao Jie and the obese young man, Ye Xuan stepped into Immortal King Valley.

Joining him were also some alchemists.

And Tong Shishi was among them.

"I still don’t know the young master’s name," Tong Shishi mustered the courage to walk up to Ye Xuan and asked.

"Ye Xuan." He had no intention of concealing his identity.

"Ye Xuan?!" The others around were astonished.
