Chapter 418: The Uniqueness of the Vital Energy Pill

Chapter 418: The Uniqueness of the Vital Energy Pill

September 17, 2024

As Su Chen approached the Hongfeng Canyon, he took the opportunity to survey the surrounding area.

Within the entire canyon, it seemed that not many demons were present.

He wondered how the situation was on the other two sides.

By the time he returned, the sky had already grown dark.

Back at his residence, Su Chen didn't disturb anyone.

Any inquiries could wait until tomorrow.

First, he wanted to know about the two jade pills he had sent to Zhuming Palace.

How effective were these jade pills, and would they attract Zhuming Palace's attention?

He would have to wait until the next day to find out.

If Zhuming Palace didn't show interest, he would have to think of another way and consider which power could assist him in restraining Wulan Manor.

Su Chen's request was not excessive; he only needed a power to help him control Wulan Manor's actions in the Great Zhou.

He didn't want Wulan Manor's people to continue acting freely in the Great Zhou.

If Zhuming Palace didn't work out, he would have to consider other options.

After a night's rest, Su Chen woke up early and headed to the First Battle Squadron's camp.

Upon his return, he intended to report his safety to the squadron leader, Qin Wei.

After all, he was still officially under the First Battle Squadron's command.

Having returned from his training, and a bit late at that, he should at least pay a visit to the squadron leader.

When he arrived at the camp, Su Chen noticed that many of the First Battle Squadron's disciples were staring at him.

After a while, they seemed to confirm his identity.

Then, they immediately ran off to report.

Su Chen's guess was correct.

Many in the First Battle Squadron had already received favors from others.

As soon as they saw Su Chen return, they were instructed to notify someone immediately.

At that moment, the emissary sent by Zhuming Palace was still waiting in Tahe Sect.

He was awaiting Su Chen's return to inquire about the situation.

In the camp, upon hearing of Su Chen's return, they wanted to find him.

As the leader of the First Battle Squadron, Qin Wei hurried towards the camp.

After seeing Su Chen, with a serious expression, he led Su Chen into his tent.

"There's just the two of us here, and we're all on the same side."

As soon as they sat down, Qin Wei spoke with a hint of seriousness.

Upon hearing this, Su Chen furrowed his brows, unsure of the meaning behind his words.

He simply nodded, indicating for Squadron Leader Qin to instruct him.

"Before you left for your training, did you send a letter to Zhuming Palace?"

At these words, Su Chen hesitated slightly and nodded.

"Sending a letter to Zhuming Palace shouldn't be considered causing trouble for Tahe Sect, right?"

This response basically confirmed that Su Chen had indeed sent a letter to Zhuming Palace.

"It's not exactly trouble, but it has caused quite a few misunderstandings," Qin Wei said with a hint of helplessness.

Su Chen was completely unaware of the recent events.

Judging from Qin Wei's expression, it didn't seem like good news.

"Leader, what is this misunderstanding about?" Su Chen asked.

Before he could finish, Qin Wei raised his hand to interrupt.

"Don't worry too much. These matters aren't that terrible.

Although your letter caused quite a few misunderstandings and made the situation somewhat serious, Tahe Sect gained a significant advantage from it.

The three alchemy workshops obtained a great deal of benefits from Zhuming Palace.

This misunderstanding should be resolved with a verbal reprimand at most.

If there's any actual punishment, I, as the squadron leader, will speak up for you."

Su Chen nodded, expressing his gratitude to Squadron Leader Qin.

However, he still didn't understand what this misunderstanding was about.

"I'm still a bit unclear about it myself. Why did you send a letter to Zhuming Palace?

Do you know something about pill concocting?"

Su Chen nodded. "Yes, I know a bit. I wanted to see how my pills would be evaluated at Zhuming Palace."

"Then tell me about your understanding of pill concocting.

Forget it, be more direct. Which pills can you refine now?"

Upon hearing this question, Su Chen hesitated for a moment.

"The pills I've refined include the Vital Energy Pill, Blood Supplement Pill, and Spirit Concentration Pill."

Su Chen listed several types of pills he had refined.

In the Jade Essence Alchemy, there were also high-grade pills, but the required ingredients were quite rare.

Previously, he didn't have many channels to obtain these ingredients.

Moreover, he hadn't devoted much effort to pill concocting.

In addition to these basic pills, I haven't delved much into higher-grade elixirs.

By his side, he heard Su Chen list these pill names.

Battalion Commander Qin Wei's face carried a hint of helplessness.

He seemed even more certain that this was a misunderstanding.

"Commander, my pills are quite unique, completely different from those made by others."

Before Su Chen could finish, Qin Wei waved his hand again.

"No matter how unique the Vital Energy Pill is, it's still the Vital Energy Pill.

Let's not talk about these for now. It won't be long before the sect sends someone to talk to you.

Let's see what they have to say.

Personally, I guess they won't punish you.

The root of all these misunderstandings lies with the Zhu Ming Palace.

It's their fault for not clarifying things."

Inside the tent, Su Chen and Qin Wei conversed, and only then did he learn the specifics.

The whole matter was that Zhu Ming Palace had received a pill formula, but it got mixed up, and they didn't know who sent it.

Su Chen's letter happened to be in that batch.

The major sects often had disciples open and read ordinary letters.

As a result, they didn't know whose letter it was.

Hearing that it was because of a pill formula, Su Chen frowned, feeling that this was indeed a misunderstanding.

In reality, Qin Wei didn't know the actual situation.

He wasn't a core member of the Tahe Sect.

Even Elder Wang Shanchun only knew part of the situation, let alone him.

Qin Wei didn't even know that Zhu Ming Palace had received two pills.

The two had just finished talking not long ago.

Outside the camp, an elder had already arrived with people to take Su Chen to the Tahe Sect.

Following Qin Wei out of the tent, there were already people waiting outside.

The person waiting was Elder Jiang Zhu, with whom Su Chen had a bit of unpleasantness before.

Behind him were several disciples from the Law Enforcement Hall.

It seemed they were going to take Su Chen away directly.

"Disciple Su Xing, come with me to the sect."

Jiang Zhu spoke with a hint of mockery in his tone.

Su Chen, upon hearing this, didn't feel anything amiss.

After talking with Commander Qin Wei, he had already guessed this outcome.

He just didn't expect that the person taking him to the Tahe Sect would be Elder Jiang Zhu.

Su Chen didn't resist; he walked over very calmly.

Let's go to the Tahe Sect and talk.

As Qin Wei said, it's just a misunderstanding; there's nothing they can do.

Around the camp, a large crowd gathered.

Seeing Su Chen being taken away, many people whispered among themselves.

Before this, many had already heard that Su Chen had gotten into trouble.

But as disciples of this level, the information they could get was limited.

No matter how much they guessed, they didn't know the real story.

Not long after leaving the First Battalion camp, Elder Wang Shanchun, who should have received the news, caught up.

"Elder Jiang, this is..."

Elder Wang Shanchun frowned, worried that something unpleasant was about to happen to Su Chen.

Seeing Elder Wang Shanchun approach, Elder Jiang Zhu also stopped, a smug expression on his face.

"Elder Jiang, whatever the matter, we can still talk it out.

Su Xing has helped the First Battalion a lot.

This year in the canyon, he also helped mediate."

Seeing Elder Wang Shanchun's plea, Elder Jiang Zhu's face showed more of a smile.

"Rest assured, Elder Wang Shanchun, I'm just taking him for a talk. At most, he'll be confined for a while.

It's just a misunderstanding with Zhu Ming Palace; he won't be harmed."

Hearing this, Elder Wang Shanchun felt slightly relieved.

Turning back to look at Su Chen, he nodded slightly to indicate that Su Chen should be at ease.

After speaking with Elder Wang Shanchun, Elder Jiang Zhu naturally continued forward with Su Chen.

Before departing, Elder Jiang Zhu's smug expression intensified as he looked at Elder Wang Shanchun.

"Elder Wang Shanchun, as I said, I rarely misjudge people.

I can tell who has potential and a future.

This Su Xing, he's just a disciple without much potential.

By reallocating his resources to others, you should agree with me now, right?"

As he spoke, Elder Jiang Zhu turned back to glance at Su Chen once more.

"But this time, he's also contributed to the sect.

Through this misunderstanding, we gained a lot from Zhu Ming Palace.

This is also a sign of his good fortune.

Later, I'll request some resources as a reward for this young man."

Saying this, Elder Jiang Zhu didn't wait for Elder Wang Shanchun's reply.

He took Su Chen and headed towards the Tahe Sect.

At this moment, in the side hall of the Tahe Sect, the high-ranking members had already gathered.

Sect Master Chai Yongshan, the Great Elder, the Second Elder, and the Third Elder.

There were also five Core Hall Masters present.

"How did Su Xing make these arrangements?"

The Sect Master, Chai Yongshan, who was seated at the center, asked.

"I've already sent people to bring him back, but it might take a while for him to arrive."

"For now, we'll have him stay in the West Wing."

The Second Elder of the Tahe Sect replied.

He was also the elder brother of Jiang Zhu. Many of the sect's miscellaneous affairs were handled by the Second Elder.

"Additionally, regarding Su Xing's message, I've also sent someone to suppress it."

"We should try to prevent this news from spreading as much as possible."

Upon hearing the Second Elder's additional remarks, Chai Yongshan furrowed his brows slightly, indicating his disagreement without nodding in approval.

"What did the three Alchemy Workshop Masters say?"

"I just asked them, and all three Workshop Masters suggested that we detain Su Xing for a couple of days.

For now, we won't bring it up with the Overseer of Zhuming Palace.

They also have some things they want to learn from us."

One of the Hall Masters responded.

These core members of the Tahe Sect were quite efficient in handling matters.

Before gathering, they had inquired about everything and made thorough preparations.

Chai Yongshan guessed that these Workshop Masters would all have the same opinion.

It wasn't easy to invite someone from Zhuming Palace to come here.

Even a single Overseer from the palace brought them considerable benefits.

With such an opportunity, it was natural for them to want to extend their stay a little longer.

"What are your thoughts on this?"

As the Sect Master, Chai Yongshan didn't offer his own opinion but instead sought the views of those present.

Everyone who had come today was astute.

Why would the Sect Master ask for their opinions?

It was clear that he didn't quite agree with the Workshop Masters' suggestion.

"Zhuming Palace has shown a lot of sincerity this time.

On their first visit, they even sent their Palace Master.

Then they left an Elder behind, and now they've sent another Overseer.

Zhuming Palace isn't foolish; they know we'll try to gain benefits from this.

To put it bluntly, they're offering us these benefits."

The Great Elder of the Tahe Sect spoke up.

As he finished speaking, another Hall Master chimed in.

"I also think we should know when to stop.

Zhuming Palace has shown so much sincerity, and it's not appropriate for us to scheme against them.

Besides, there's no such thing as a secret in this world.

If Zhuming Palace finds out, our relationship with them will definitely be greatly affected.

Most importantly, we all know that this is a misunderstanding.

Zhuming Palace didn't gain much from us, yet we schemed against them.

In the end, it might lead to a small loss becoming a big one."

These words were very reasonable, and the various reasons were clearly explained.

However, in reality, if Sect Master Chai Yongshan supported keeping the news under wraps for a few more days, they could still find various suitable reasons.

These old foxes were indeed skilled in their words.

Chai Yongshan, seated at the center, nodded at the right moment.

"Indeed, we and Zhuming Palace will continue to interact in the future.

We should take this opportunity to strengthen our relationship.

According to the three Workshop Masters, we'd directly offend Zhuming Palace.

Let's immediately send someone to inform the Overseer of Zhuming Palace.

As for the rest, let them decide for themselves.

We shouldn't mention it being a misunderstanding; let's act as if we know nothing."

"Regarding the medicine pills, our Tahe Sect doesn't understand them as well as they do."

"In the end, if there's blame to be placed, it should be on them."

After discussing the important matters, they began to chat about less significant topics.

The Sect Master, Chai Yongshan, had already sent people to inquire about Su Chen's experiences in the Tahe Sect.

"This time, our Tahe Sect was able to seize these opportunities, thanks to a disciple named Su Xing.

Previously, Elder Wang Shanchun even applied for a portion of resources for him.

We should provide him with some support and cultivation."

As he spoke, the Sect Master of the Tahe Sect glanced at the Second Elder beside him.

"It seems that Elder Jiang Zhu has transferred these resources to someone else?"

Upon hearing this, the Second Elder's expression changed slightly in surprise.

He hadn't expected the Sect Master to be aware of these matters.

Just as he was about to explain, the Sect Master waved his hand.

"It's fine, I don't intend to blame anyone.

If it's inappropriate, we can replace the person; it's up to you to arrange these matters.

This time, thanks to the misunderstanding caused by Su Xing, our sect has gained numerous benefits.

Remember to reward him accordingly."

Upon hearing this, the Second Elder felt a little more at ease.

However, he understood that the Sect Master wouldn't say anything pointless.

By mentioning these matters, he was also reminding everyone present.

There was nothing that could be hidden from him.

Whatever they did, they needed to consider the Sect Master's intentions.

Everything required caution and discretion.
