"No! My dantian!" In the palace, Steward Wang's body flew dozens of zhang away before crashing into a white jade pillar, letting out a cry of utter despair from his mouth.
His dantian had been so casually destroyed by Venerable Qingfeng.
This meant that from now on, he was nothing more than a cripple who could not cultivate, no different from an ordinary mortal.
This was a thousand times more agonizing than being killed outright.
"Why? Pavilion Master, why did you destroy my dantian? What did I do wrong?" Steward Wang lay on the ground like a dead dog, painfully unwilling in his expression.
Ye Chen, this useless person, had forged that Purple Gold Member Card, an unforgivable act, yet what was wrong with him taking action to suppress Ye Chen?
Why did Venerable Qingfeng treat him this way!
Why on earth?
"Fool, don't you understand yet? That Purple Gold Member Card was personally given to Young Grandmaster Ye Chen by the Pavilion Master, and you dared to slander Ye Chen for forgery. Who exactly gave you the guts?" Lin Bei couldn't help but roar in anger, his eyes turning blood red!
"What? The Purple Gold Member Card was personally given to this useless person by the Pavilion Master? How is that possible? What could this waste possibly offer to deserve a Purple Gold Member Card?" Steward Wang's pupils suddenly contracted, as if struck by the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, completely unable to accept the reality before him.
"No! How could this be? Ye Chen was clearly just a waste who couldn't even awaken his bloodline. Why would the Pavilion Master give him a Purple Gold Member Card? This goes against the rules of the Celestial Pill Pavilion; the Pavilion Master is abusing his power." Chen Min's face turned deathly pale as he roared internally with anger.
In her view, Ye Chen, this waste, was absolutely unqualified to receive a Purple Gold Member Card.
It must have been Venerable Qingfeng abusing his authority by privately giving it to him.
"Wang Lang, let me tell you why. Young Grandmaster Ye Chen's alchemy mastery has reached the Grandmaster Level. Do you think he deserves the Purple Gold Member Card or not?" At this moment, Venerable Yuanming suddenly sneered, looking at Steward Wang as if he were a clueless buffoon.
"Grandmaster, Ye Chen is actually an Alchemy Grandmaster. Good heavens! Am I dreaming?"
"He's so young, yet his alchemical mastery is so heaven-defying. How can such a freak exist in this world?" The surrounding staff gasped in shock, unable to believe their ears.
Especially Steward Wang and Chen Min, whose expressions turned extremely ugly, as if they had swallowed a pile of dead flies.
"Impossible! Ye Chen, this waste, is so young. How could he be an Alchemy Grandmaster? There must be a mistake." It took Steward Wang quite a while to recover from the shock, hysterically shouting.
He simply couldn't accept this reality!
"Young Grandmaster Ye Chen, I've already crippled this blind fool. If your anger still can't be appeased, I can kill him outright." Venerable Qingfeng's expression was solemn, his eyes emitting a chilling light.
In truth, he had really wanted to kill Steward Wang just now. How dare he offend Young Grandmaster Ye Chen!
However, Wang Lang was, after all, dispatched by the headquarters of the Celestial Pill Pavilion over there.
Any of his wrongdoings were ordinarily dealt with by the people over at headquarters.
Therefore, Venerable Qingfeng deliberately spared his life.
Yet if Ye Chen remained unsatisfied, he wouldn't hesitate to kill Steward Wang.
"No, don't kill me, Chief Steward, for the sake of our fellow disciple brotherhood, please plead with Ye Chen for me. I was really wrong." Hearing that Venerable Qingfeng intended to kill him, Steward Wang's body suddenly shuddered violently, his expression utterly terrified.
Though he had become a cripple, he still longed to live.
At this moment, he was genuinely afraid.
"Silence! Offending Young Grandmaster Ye Chen, no one can help you. Unless Young Grandmaster Ye Chen is willing to spare your life, no one can save you." Lin Bei said coldly, unaffected.
Indeed!
He and Steward Wang were indeed fellow disciple brothers who had joined the Celestial Pill Pavilion headquarters in the same year.
If it were another matter, Lin Bei might have interceded for Steward Wang.
But now, the person Steward Wang offended was a young Alchemy Grandmaster with unlimited prospects!
Even if it were Lin Bei, he simply couldn't offend Ye Chen for the sake of Steward Wang.
Blame could only be attributed to Steward Wang's foolishness for daring to blacklist Ye Chen.
This was essentially seeking his own death.
"Ye Chen, no, Master Grandmaster, please forgive me this once, it was all that bitch Chen Min's instigation. If not for her, I wouldn't have offended you, Master Grandmaster." Steward Wang knelt on the ground, repeatedly begging Ye Chen for forgiveness.
At this moment, his heart was filled with intense hatred for Chen Min.
If not for protecting that bitch Chen Min, he wouldn't have provoked Ye Chen.
This was truly the bane of a woman!
Yet sadly, even if he regretted it now, it was already too late.
"Wang Steward, how can you do this to me?" Chen Min's delicate body trembled violently, her face losing all color, her expression utterly terrified.
She never expected that Steward Wang, who had always treated her with affection, would act so heartlessly at this moment, placing all the blame on her.
This made her feel unbearably cold-hearted.
"Chief Steward, just deal with the two of them as you see fit. I have another elixir to refine and don't have time to waste on them," Ye Chen said calmly, then strode towards the direction of the Heaven-class Alchemy Room.
Since Venerable Qingfeng had already crippled Steward Wang's dantian, he had received his due punishment.
As for the subsequent matters, they were entrusted to Lin Bei.
This also served as a gesture of respect towards Lin Bei.
"Thank you, Young Grandmaster Ye Chen." Lin Bei's eyes revealed a deep sense of gratitude.
He never imagined that someone of Ye Chen's alchemical mastery would show him respect.
For him, this was an immense honor.
"Someone, take Wang Lang and Chen Min to the dungeon to await further punishment. From now on, they will no longer be employees of our Celestial Pill Pavilion." Watching Ye Chen's departing figure, Lin Bei said coldly.
"No!" Chen Min slumped to the floor, her expression filled with despair and regret.
If she had known earlier that Ye Chen was a young grandmaster, no matter how many guts she had, she would never have dared to disrespect him.
Sadly, even if she regretted it now, it was useless.
