The Sovereign’s Ascension

Chapter 218



Chapter 218

Just a moment ago, Hall Master Mo still said that they didn’t require any alchemists to settle in as there were too many pellets. But right now, it was like a resounding slap to Ku Yun’s face when he saw Liu Yue and Fu Guang being invited in respectfully. Not to mention that Hall Master Mo even took out Fu Guang’s signboard to inform the entire city of his presence.

It wouldn’t be so bad if they did not witness it. But Fu Guang was invited in right after they were asked to leave. Ku Yun felt all the resentment pent up in his chest, looking at this scene and nearly fainted. His wrinkled face was pale, with his lips trembling.

“No, this won’t do! I have to ask him about it!” Ku Yun finally couldn’t take it anymore and ran back.

“Master!” Lin Yun and Li Wuyou called out. But Ku Yun showed no signs of stopping. Seeing this scene, Lin Yun and Li Wuyou executed their movement technique and chased up. “Quick, follow up!”

In front of the majestic Glittering Pavilion, Hall Master Mo lowered his head to welcome Liu Yue and Fu Guang.

“Hall Master Mo!” Suddenly, a voice containing anger sounded out. When Hall Master Mo turned around, he saw that Ku Yun’s face was pale, helplessly standing in the lonely night. When Hall Master Mo saw Ku Yun, there was a slight embarrassment on his face.

When Fu Guang turned around to see Ku Yun, he locked his brows together.

“Hall Master Mo, didn’t you say that there are too many pellets in the Glittering Pavilion, and there’s no need for any alchemists to settle in?” Ku Yun questioned. He wanted to make things clear.

He was a Guest Elder in the Glittering Pavilion. Even though his status as a two star alchemist was fake, he was still a top-tiered one star alchemist. Not to mention that he had cooperated with the Glittering Pavilion for years, so why couldn’t Hall Master Mo make things clear and wanted to humiliate him?

Having his lies exposed on the spot, Hall Master Mo felt embarrassed and smiled, “Master Ku Yun, please don’t misunderstand. I invited Master Fu Guang over to reminisce about the past, so please don’t overthink…”

“You’re still trying to lie to me? I just heard what you said!” Ku Yun roared. He finally couldn’t hold it back anymore.

“What did you hear?” Fu Guang interrupted and barked, “Ku Yun, go back and practice if you’re not high leveled enough. Don’t embarrass the Pellet Hall. What do you want? You want Hall Master Mo to tell you that you’re a piece of trash who can’t even inscribe a two star spiritual rune?”

“Behave yourself! I’m your senior! You’re nothing compared to me if it’s not for the three Firecloud Pellets that you refined out of luck. I’m telling you politely to return to the Pellet Hall right now. Or do you want me to tell you to get lost?” Fu Guang was genuinely furious right now. So what if Ku Yun couldn’t take it? In Fu Guang’s point of view, Ku Yun was simply unreasonable to make things difficult for Hall Master Mo.

“Master, there’s no need for you to get angry. Some people are just stubborn, and they have to be scolded, just like his disciple. They like to be humiliated,” Liu Yue replied.

“Bitch, who are you talking about?” Lin Yun scolded back when he rushed over.

Raising her brow, Liu Yue sneered, “I’m naturally talking about you. Don't you and your master have the same conduct? Your master likes to be humiliated, and you actually accepted Ye Liuyun’s challenge. I’ll see how you die a month from now!”

“You’re really a bitch just like what my big brother said,” Li Wuyun smiled.

“Why don’t you say that again if you have the guts. This is the capital, and I have a hundred ways to make you die a terrible death!” Liu Yue’s face turned dark.

Lin Yun stretched his hand out to stop Li Wuyou from continuing. Glancing at Liu Yue, he said, “You don’t have to worry about me. We’ll know the results one month from now. Master, let us get going.”

Ku Yun was feeling down. Looking at Hall Master Mo, he asked, “Hall Master Mo, do you really think that I’m a piece of trash?”

Now that they have already fallen out completely, Hall Master Mo couldn’t be bothered to continue with the pretense. With an indifferent expression, he replied, “You’re not exactly a piece of trash. But you’re nothing compared to Master Ku Yun. I'll tell you honestly. I wasn’t lying when I said that the Glittering Pavilion had accumulated a large amount of pellets, but I need Master Fu Guang’s reputation to sell them out. So let me ask you honestly. Does your reputation worth any money?”

Gnashing his teeth, Ku Yun took out a jade token and threw it out. “Since that’s the case, then I’ll quit as Glittering Pavilion’s Guest Elder!”

Hall Master Mo was briefly taken aback before he smiled, “So be it. We have no lack of two star alchemists with our financial resources. It doesn’t matter much, even if you go. So you can get lost now.”

He took the jade token from Ku Yun’s hand with a cold face. Then, he turned around and smiled, “Master Fu Guang, Lady Liu Yue, let’s not bother with a bunch of trash. Please, come inside!”

Fu Guang and Liu Yue both looked arrogant. They didn’t even bother taking a look at Ku Yun and went into the Glittering Pavilion. When they went in, the two guards at the door took a step forth, “Get lost! Don’t stay outside the Glittering Pavilion to affect our business!”

“What two obedient dogs,” Li Wuyou insulted coldly.

“Are you courting death?” One of the guards stretched his hand out.

When Lin Yun saw this scene, he looked at the two guards coldly and questioned, “Interesting. Are the two of you trying to touch us, disciples of the Sword Firmament Pavilion, by relying on the Glittering Pavilion’s influence?”

The guard’s face changed with a trace of fear flickering through his eyes when he heard that. The Sword Firmament Pavilion’s reputation was resounding. In the end, the Glittering Pavilion was just a chamber of commerce, and there was no way they could compete with the four great sects in the Great Qin Empire.

“The Sword Firmament Pavilion is indeed powerful, but please don’t affect our business. Don’t get in our way.” The two guards became more polite after hearing what Lin Yun said.

“Who the hell wants to stay in this broken place?” Li Wuyou was uncomfortable with how the two guards behaved. He turned around and left directly, with Lin Yun and Ku Yun following behind.

No one talked throughout the journey. Ku Yun looked depressed, and he was like a walking corpse. What happened tonight had struck him greatly. The series of humiliation was too much for him, and he couldn’t let it go.

“Big Brother, I can’t let this go! But there’s nothing we can do about it. And that bitch is too much!” Li Wuyou cursed.

“There’s naturally away, but just take a look at Master Ku Yun. With how he looks right now, there’s nothing I can do even if I have a plan,” Lin Yun replied.

“I’m just a piece of trash. So why will I be important in your plan…” Ku Yun laughed at himself.

“That’s right. Why don’t you go and die instead?” Lin Yun snorted with sarcasm.

Ku Yun was stunned when he heard those words. He didn’t expect that Lin Yun would say those words to him. He immediately threw his temper and replied, “Even you’re looking down on me. Since that’s the case, then I’ll be leaving…”

“Don’t give me that!” Lin Yun’s eyes flashed with a trace of anger. He continued coldly, “You can’t even bear the slightest grievance. Since you’re feeling so uncomfortable, wouldn’t it be better for you to die? Did your father wish for you to be a piece of trash? Where did all the courage you showed previously back in the Alchemy Chamber go to?”

Lin Yun’s words left Ku Yun’s face red with all the emotions pent up. But there was nothing he could say to refute those words.

At this moment, Li Wuyou sighed, “Master, don’t bother arguing. Your grievance is nothing compared to Big Brother. You have no idea what we went through back in the forest. Big Brother climbed out from the abyss to kill Wang Ning.”

Ku Yun was briefly stunned when he heard that. A brief moment later, he reacted, “You really have a way to deal with Fu Guang? He’s a senior two star alchemist. His reputation even reached from the Pellet Hall to the capital…”

“Why would I bother lying? Why don’t you raise your head and look where we are right now?” Lin Yun replied.

When Ku Yun raised his head, he exclaimed out, “The Myriad Treasure Pavilion!”

The Glittering Pavilion and Myriad Treasure Pavilion were both located at two ends of this prosperous street. Ku Yun suddenly thought of something and asked, “You’re not asking me to be a Guest Elder in the Myriad Treasure Pavilion to deal with the Glittering Pavilion, right?”

“What’s the matter? You really consider yourself to be a piece of trash? No matter what, you’re still a genuine one star alchemist. If you lower yourself to join as a Guest Elder, do you think that they will chase you away?” Lin Yun replied and walked towards the Myriad Treasure Pavilion.

Looking at the door, Lin Yun said straightforwardly, “My master is Ku Yun, an alchemist of the Sword Firmament Pavilion. He’s here to ask for a position as a Guest Elder in the Myriad Treasure Pavilion.”

“Master Ku Yun? Who’s that?” The guard was a little suspicious when he looked at Lin Yun. Which alchemist would come knocking on the door to become a Guest Elder these days, especially one from the Sword Firmament Pavilion.

“It doesn’t matter if you’ve not heard of him. But you recognize the Sword Firmament Token, right?” Lin Yun smiled and turned around.

Ku Yun knew that he could not retreat now. Taking a step forth, he handed the Sword Firmament Token over. There was no way to fake a token created by the Pellet Hall, nor would anyone dare to forge it.

The Sword Firmament Pavilion was famous, and when the guard saw the token, his face was instantly plastered with smiles, “So it’s Master Ku Yun. Please, come in!”

Everything was going as Lin Yun had expected. Things went smoothly as long as Ku Yun was willing to lower his status to ask. They entered the Myriad Treasure Pavilion and waited.

Feeling a little confused, Ku Yun asked, “Lin Yun, what are you planning?”

“Master, do you know what pellets did the Glittering Pavilion accumulate?” Lin Yun asked instead of answering.

“It’s easy to guess. The pellets accumulated won’t be any precious pellets. They must have accumulated those commonly used ones,” Ku Yun replied.

“What are they?” Li Wuyou did not know about it since he had never used pellets.

“Xiantian Pellets for the Xiantian Realm and Greater Profound Pellets for the Profound Martial Realm… With the Glittering Pavilion’s status, they must be accumulating the Greater Profound Pellets,” Ku Yun explained.

“Do you know how much they have accumulated?” Lin Yun nodded.

Ku Yun did not speak and only raised a finger.

Li Wuyou immediately snatched to reply, “One thousand!”

Ku Yun shook his head. Li Wuyou then smiled and gave another answer confidently, “Ten thousand then!”

“Wrong. A hundred thousand! The Great Qin empire’s influence reached throughout the Great Qin County, and many elites gathered here. With the Glittering Pavilion’s size, it will naturally be at least a hundred thousand if they’re going to stock up.” Ku Yun’s answer made Li Wuyou speechless.

“Then we’ll make it so that they won’t be able to sell any one of them! Until beg us for mercy!” Li Yun said, causing Ku Yun and Li Wuyou to turn around to look at him. When they looked at Lin Yun, Lin Yun looked domineering when he made that declaration.
