Yu Hong frowned, not because Mi Xiaojing didn’t want Chen Shouyi as his assistant, but because Mi Xiaojing’s reaction was too strange. He even went as far as refusing to refine pills as a condition. There must be a problem in between!

Not only did Yu Hong notice, but Mu Hengyuan and Mo Chentian also sensed that something was wrong. This reaction was not happiness, but extreme unease.

Chen Shouyi’s face turned pale instantly. He had just had a sudden inspiration, but he didn’t expect Mi Xiaojing’s reaction to be so intense. He also knew that he had caught the attention of several Elemental Infants. This was not a good thing. Before the old guys could speak, he immediately said, “Haha, just kidding… don’t take it seriously!”

The three Elemental Infant cultivators stared at him, and Chen Shouyi broke out in a cold sweat. He was really scared, and he could clearly see the doubt in Yu Hong’s eyes. He immediately woke up and realized that he shouldn’t play tricks in front of the old guys, or the consequences would be severe.

Mi Xiaojing felt quite angry. How dare this guy! He decided to give Chen Shouyi a taste of his own medicine.

“Master Uncle has always been overbearing… I dare not offend him…”

Chen Shouyi’s face turned green.

Yu Hong, the elder, stared at Chen Shouyi and said, “Overbearing? How do you treat your juniors?”

Chen Shouyi cursed in his heart, but he was really scared. Sweat beads appeared on his face, and he forced a smile, “Haha, the kid just likes to joke. I always take good care of my juniors!”

Turning his head to look at Mi Xiaojing, Chen Shouyi’s eyes emitted a fierce light.

Mi Xiaojing’s gaze was cold, and he stared back at him without showing any weakness. However, Chen Shouyi only glanced at him before immediately lowering his head. He also knew that he had to endure at this moment. The elders were all watching, and if they found out that he was unfriendly towards Mi Xiaojing, many things would become difficult to handle.

Mu Hengyuan said, “Since that’s the case, Mi Xiaojing will refine pills independently, and we don’t need Shouyi anymore.”

Mo Chentian said, “Shouyi, have you understood? If not, you don’t need to refine the Yang Shen Pill. We have limited materials, and we can’t take risks.”

Chen Shouyi was almost infuriated, but he couldn’t oppose anything. He couldn’t even show any dissatisfaction. He lowered his head and said, “Yes, disciple didn’t understand…”

Yu Hong reached out and tapped the Ancient Tribulation Pill Scripture. The seven pages, made of an unknown material, instantly merged together and slowly fell into the jade box. The lid of the jade box also closed automatically. Four ancient characters emitted a faint light and then dimmed. This viewing session was officially over.

Wang Weijun couldn’t help but sigh, “Such a treasure is actually hidden by a few juniors. Ah, what a pity…”

“This way of recording is really amazing. Old man, compared to the cultivation manuals I’ve read before, it’s a completely different feeling!”

“You’ve only entered the cultivation world for a few days. There are many amazing ways of recording. This is considered relatively good, but there are even more and better ones. You just haven’t seen them yet. Maybe when your cultivation level is higher, you’ll be able to see them.”

“Really?”

Just by seeing the Ancient Tribulation Pill Scripture, Mi Xiaojing was greatly shocked. He didn’t know if Evolutionary Immortality had something as amazing as this, but the treasures in the cultivation world could truly blind people. They were so incredible.

This was the first time Mi Xiaojing had come into contact with real treasures from the cultivation world. It might not be the top-tier treasure, but it had a certain level and history. In other words, the person who made this thing was definitely a super expert in the cultivation world, and might even be a Loose Immortal.

In fact, Mi Xiaojing didn’t know that he had a real Evolutionary Sect treasure inside him, the top treasure of the Evolutionary Immortality world. If it wasn’t for the help of this treasure, he probably wouldn’t exist. It was thanks to this treasure that he was able to be born.

But Mi Xiaojing had never seen the Mantra Banner before, so he didn’t know about the wonders of Evolutionary Immortality. Not only was Mi Xiaojing full of admiration for the Ancient Tribulation Pill Scripture, even Wang Weijun couldn’t stop sighing. He regretted why he hadn’t heard of the Heart Sect before and missed such a precious treasure.

Yu Hong said, “Mi Xiaojing, go back and adjust yourself. Come to the sect hall in a few days. I will send someone to notify you. Don’t go out during this time.”

Mi Xiaojing agreed and bid farewell.

Yu Hong slowly sat down and said, “Shouyi, you also sit down.”

Chen Shouyi was shocked. He instinctively felt that something was not right.

Chen Shouyi had a deep fear of the Elemental Infant seniors in the sect. These elders usually didn’t interfere with trivial matters and wouldn’t appear unless it was something particularly important. But in recent years, they had directly intervened and made decisions on many things, which was very different from before.

Sitting down slowly, Chen Shouyi didn’t dare to raise his head. He kept his head down, his ears perked up. There was no way around it. Who made him kill Hong Qing? He was really scared that the elders would find out.

After all, Hong Qing was not an ordinary cultivator. He was a capable pill master from the Grass-Benevolence Hall, and the sect attached great importance to those who could refine pills.

“Shouyi, you’ve been working hard recently.”

Chen Shouyi suddenly raised his head. They weren’t questioning him about anything. He immediately became spirited. He was really afraid that the elders would find out that he had killed Hong Qing.

You should know that Hong Qing was not an ordinary cultivator. He was a capable pill master from the Grass-Benevolence Hall, and the sect attached great importance to those who could refine pills.

“Yes, it’s my duty.”

Chen Shouyi didn’t dare to say much.

“Recently, you need to refine more low-grade spirit pills. The sect is really lacking them, so you need to perform well.”

Chen Shouyi suddenly felt a surge of anger, but he concealed it well. Refining low-grade spirit pills was not helpful to him. It only consumed his time and energy. Only by refining higher-grade spirit pills could his alchemy level improve.No matter how much he tried to suppress his anger, a hint of it still seeped through. Yu Hong, of course, saw it clearly.

“The sect will not treat you unfairly. Although refining low-level pills doesn’t help you much, this is the time when the sect needs you the most…”

Chen Shouyi couldn’t help but want to argue, but when he looked up at Yu Hong, his courage suddenly vanished. The words on the tip of his tongue turned into, “Yes, I will try my best to refine.”

He had no choice but to bow his head. The resentment in his heart was like a tide, but Chen Shouyi still didn’t dare to object. He just hated Mi Xiaojing even more because the higher-level Spirit Pills were originally refined by him. Just practicing was worth it, not to mention the Spirit Pills that could be left behind.

He had been in the Grass-Benevolence Hall for a long time and knew there were many dirty and corrupt things inside. There were really many opportunities, but now they were all given to Mi Xiaojing. How could he not hate him?

Yu Hong stood up and patted Chen Shouyi’s shoulder, “Shouyi, work hard… Some things, when it’s time to let go, just let go.”

Chen Shouyi was startled by Yu Hong’s last sentence. He didn’t know if Yu Hong was warning him or had discovered something, but he didn’t dare to say anything or ask anything. He left with a feeling of suffocation. (To be continued.)
