The Invincible Supreme Medical God-Chapter 1067 - 571: Immortal Life
...
However, there was nothing to be done now, so the group gathered to capture Yan Xiaobao reluctantly dispersed. Yet, one of them, a young man with a pimpled face, looked at the Medicine Making Hall with a cold grin.
"Do you think hiding there makes you safe from me? I don't care that you beat up my cousin Chen Fei. However, you bullied my beloved young Sister Zhou, and also the Miss Du whom I cherish most. Moreover, my favorite, Young Miss Hou, also won't stop talking about you. Yan Xiaobao, you may have a talent for plants and vegetation, but killing you will not be any trouble for me at all!" The young man sneered coldly. He was none other than Qian Qianjin's inner sect disciple!
Yan Xiaobao spent carefree days in the Medicine Refining Hall, whether mixing medicines or cultivating his Immortal Life Technology. As the years went by, he truly made a leap in the Immortal Eternal Life Skill.
His skin became tougher and more durable, and he could move faster than before.
"In two more days, my Immortal Iron Skin will be complete!" Yan Xiaobao took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
However, on the evening of that very night, suddenly, a green beam shot from the mission office towards the medicine hall. It completely bypassed the shields around the pavilion and appeared inside Yan Xiaobao's workshop.
Yan Xiaobao was shocked as he stared at the command badge now hovering before him! The command medal was black, with the character "justice" at its center, exuding a desolate and melancholic aura.
As Yan Xiaobao stared at it in shock, a cold voice echoed in the workshop.
"Outer Sect Disciple Yan Xiaobao. After an investigation in the Judicial Hall, it has been confirmed that, after several years in the sect, you have completed only one task, which was the cultivation of spiritual plants. Due to violating sect rules, you are required to take on a mandatory sect mission, starting three days from now!"
Judging from the cold and sinister nature of the voice, if Yan Xiaobao refused to comply, he would receive the harshest punishment!
"Hall of Justice!" Yan Xiaobao's eyes widened, and his heart began to thud loudly. Meanwhile, the command badge turned into a black light and then disappeared.
Everything went silent. When he took out his identity medal, various emotions flickered across Yan Xiaobao's face. As expected, he found an additional mandatory mission added.
He had completely forgotten about the rule regarding the minimum number of missions required of disciples each year. However, the sudden arrival of the command medal from the Judicial Hall was something Yan Xiaobao found very strange.
After some thought, he left his workshop, walked out of the Medicine Refining Hall, and headed up the mountain.
"Something isn't right. Why do I feel a cold wind running down my back...? Alright, I have been in the sect for many years now and have never proactively visited the Peak Lord. I might as well pay my respects and see if I can figure out what's going on." Yan Xiaobao wrapped himself in his cloak as he traversed the mountain. Finally, he found Li Qinghou's Daoist assistant, only to discover that Li Qinghou had left the sect months ago.
Yan Xiaobao felt very uneasy and tense. He did not return to the Medicine Making Hall but went to look for Xu Baocai. After all, Xu Baocai knew everything happening within the sect, so perhaps he would have some insight into the situation.
Xu Baocai was still an Outer Sect Disciple, living in a different area of Baishan Village. It was nighttime by then, and not many people were out. Soon, Yan Xiaobao reached the vicinity of Xu Baocai's dwelling.
This residence was not as isolated as Yan Xiaobao's, gathering with seven or eight people. Now it was dark, and firelight could be seen flickering from a few courtyards.
Yan Xiaobao lowered his head to appear inconspicuous. He did not knock on the door but flew over the partition wall, then saw Xu Baocai bent over a small notebook, writing.
"Xu Baocai," he murmured.
Xu Baocai was startled, but upon seeing who had come, he said, "Oh, hey, Brother Bai."
A bit puzzled, he stood up and invited Yan Xiaobao into his room.
"Brother Bai, weren't you secluded in meditation at the Medicine Making Hall?" he asked curiously, "What are you doing here?"
"Xu Baocai, how much do you know about the Judicial Hall?" Yan Xiaobao immediately asked.
Seeing the stern expression on Yan Xiaobao's face, Xu Baocai could tell something was amiss, and he quickly replied, "The Hall of Justice? Well, there's a southern hall and a northern hall, and they're responsible for managing two different parts of the sect. They oversee Outer Sect disciples and servants, but they usually don't do much unless there's a serious violation of sect rules.
"If violations occur, they hold significant authority. They can impose various punishments. In fact, they even have the power to execute traitors. Essentially, the Hall of Justice is like a sword suspended over the necks of Outer Sect Disciples, ensuring that none of us dare to break sect rules.
"If anyone does so and is noticed by the Judicial Hall, they will face swift and severe punishment...
"Of course, despite the Judicial Hall having considerable power, it is limited. As long as you don't break sect rules, you won't have to worry about them at all." As usual, Xu Baocai continued to provide Yan Xiaobao with a very detailed description of the Hall of Justice, based on everything he knew.
