Reborn as a Mountain: I Defy the Heavens with a Smile-Chapter 53: Zhi Qiang’s Arrival

On the second floor of the Blue Moon Pavilion, a group of twenty people entered with high profiles and arrogant looks.

The one leading them was an old man around fifty years old. His face looked a little sinister as if his blood was sucked out.

He was none other than Zhi Qiang, a tier 6 alchemist, as well as the master of Jun Wang.

Seeing his arrival, Jun Wang was ecstatic; however, he didn’t show it and approached him with an angered look.

"Master, you have to get justice for me! I was injured here, and the Blue Moon Pavilion didn’t do anything. Moreover, they even supported someone who questioned your grandmaster title and as well as spread the fake tier-4 cleansing pill formula!"

"Later the pavilion even threatened that the Flame Dragon Sect is nothing in front of them and they can destroy as long as they want," Jun Wang explained with hatred.

Hearing him Zhi Qiang was shocked, then his face turned ugly. He was really furious after hearing everything, but he knew that Blue Moon Pavilion was not something he could afford to offend.

As for the Flame Dragon Sect, they have some ability, but they probably won’t become enemies just because of his disciple and a tier-4 formula.

Thinking of this, his face darkened with fury and his eyes turned red with rage.

"Who? Who dared to hit my disciple and spread the fake formula of my pill?" he roared with anger.

"Humph! Fake formula? Zhi Qiang, don’t talk nonsense!"

"Yes, I have seen this formula, and it’s real! Moreover, it only required a few herbs. I wonder if you and your sect deliberately tried to scam us!"

At this moment the two elders who had gotten the formula spoke with a cold look.

Hearing them Zhi Qiang’s face turned darker, and before he could speak, a mocking voice rang out.

"So this is the self-proclaimed grandmaster? You are so old, yet you are this shameless? I wonder how shameless your younger generation will be. Maybe they might even claim that the world is made by their ancestors or even by themselves," Ye Chen said with a sneer.

"Who are you? How dare you speak against me? If you don’t kneel and apologize, then you can forget about living anymore!"

"Also you two! You claim that the fake formula is real! Then have you ever tried concocting it? Just wait for the results, and the truth will come out. However, don’t expect me to sell the pills to your sect unless you and your sect master kneel and apologize to me!" Zhi Qiang stated with a vicious look.

He didn’t believe the formula was real because Jun Wang knew the formula, and if he said that it was fake, then it must be true.

As for the claims of requiring few herbs, many complained about this before, so he didn’t care.

"Who spread the fake formula?!" He asked again, as he didn’t think Ye Chen, a mere brat at Qi gathering, would be the one to do it.

"M—master, that guy is the one who injured me and also spread the fake formula." At this mention, Jun Wang unnaturally pointed at Ye Chen.

He had already guessed the formula was true because the number of herbs required for refining was the same as the two elders said before his master came.

However, he didn’t dare to say this; if not, he would definitely not escape; after all, it was because of him everything happened.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

Zhi Qiang was stunned after hearing Jun Wang. He really didn’t expect the one who had done all of this would be Ye Chen.

"Looks like young people today don’t know the immensity between heaven and earth. They even dared to spread the fake formula of the tier-4 pill. It is fine if it doesn’t have any effect, but it would be disastrous if people started to die because of it!"

"I wonder if the blue moon pavilion would allow me to get rid of such a scourge. It would also be a good example for other youngsters who wanted to use such an evil path to get famous!" Zhi Qiang stated with a righteous look.

But even after a while he didn’t receive any answer, and the people who were present from the start gave him strange looks.

Even the two elders looked at him like they were watching a joke. The blue moon pavilion was going to give the formula for free. They would not do it unless it’s real.

Moreover, they could also see if there is something wrong or not with the formula. However, they didn’t bother to say anything and just decided to watch his jokes silently.

The Blue Moon Pavilion was, after all, helping Ye Chen to spread the formula; they didn’t think anyone would be able to harm him here.

After receiving no response, Zhi Qiang’s face turned red with anger.

"It seems Blue Moon Pavilion is trying to protect the evil! Good, let me see if you can protect him outside. Also prepare for an explanation when all first-grade sects hear about this!" He snorted angrily.

In his eyes he had already cleared his image while making Ye Chen and Blue Moon Pavilion into a public enemy who do evil and protect evil.

He wasn’t strong enough to fight them; hence, it was better to leave it here. Of course it didn’t mean he would let Ye Chen off. Once he left the city, he would capture and skin him alive in the name of righteousness.

"You are young, yet you dare to do such a thing. Let me see if there is anyone who will come to protect you later," he stated with a cold look and walked away.

Watching him believing he was right, everyone was silent and didn’t bother to explain anything.

They were dissatisfied at how he and the Flame Dragon Sect embezzled money and herbs from them. Moreover, looking at Ye Chen’s expression, it seems he didn’t want Zhi Qiang to know the truth.

So they all decided to keep silent. After all, who knows if he has another pill formula? It wouldn’t be good to offend him.

As for Jun Wang, he was now afraid to tell the truth, and he hoped no one would explain anything to his master for a few days.

In this way, when his master captures Ye Chen, he can aim for Lan Ming and escape with her.

As long as he obtained a mutated fire spiritual root, his troubles would be solved, as the Flame Dragon Sect would value him highly.

Even if his master wanted to kill him, they would still protect him; after all, he could already see the sect placing all the blame on his master once the formula of the pill is spread.

’I have to make him believe that there is someone pulling the tricks from behind and might hire people to act about the cleansing pill,’ Jun Wang thought in his heart about making plans silently.

Zhi Qiang remained unaware of his disciple’s thoughts and betrayal. If he knew, he would spit out a mouthful of blood in anger.

He had treated Jun Wang as his own grandson, yet he still didn’t hesitate when it came to betrayal. But if he knew that his disciple had learned everything from him, he would understand he was the one who had been wrong.

However, there were no ifs, and Zhi Qiang remained oblivious about what others were thinking. Although he had seen their strange looks on their faces, he didn’t think deeper.

Even if he was beaten to death, he won’t believe that the formula of the cleansing pill was found by a Qi-gathering cultivator.

If that really happened, then he might as well kill himself with a piece of tofu. After all, he had paid a heavy cost to acquire this formula. Even his blood essence and vitality were sucked at that time.

"This is a tier-7 cauldron!" he exclaimed suddenly with a hint of excitement.

He had been stuck at tier 6 alchemist for a long time, and it was because he didn’t have a tier-7 cauldron.

Don’t look at how one was placed here. They were extremely expensive and hard to refine that even a first-grade sect can’t provide one to everyone.

Moreover, refining a tier-7 pill was no different than overcoming a bottleneck. The chances of failures were too high for any new tier-7 alchemist.

Unless they have a proficient alchemist to guide them, no one would let them try this. After all, the herbs didn’t grow on trees.

But of course it didn’t mean everyone would get this chance, especially an old man like him who doesn’t have high talent in alchemy.

However, it was a different matter if he had a cauldron. Once he had this, he could at least try it by himself. If he succeeded, then his status would definitely increase.

Thinking of this, he decided to buy the cauldron at any cost.

"Don’t even think about it; that cauldron is mine," Ye Chen spoke as he saw through his thoughts.

Not only him but everyone saw it; after all, the old man was so excited that his face was flushed red.

However, it didn’t take too long, and his face darkened with anger.
