Chapter 431: An Elder's Apology to a Junior

Chapter 431: An Elder's Apology to a Junior

After leaving Tiangang City, Su Chen once again disguised himself, reverting to his original appearance as "Su Xing."

Logically, his current appearance should not be easily recognizable.

However, with the protection of two Transcendent Realm experts, his safety was greatly enhanced.

Without hesitation, Su Chen, accompanied by the two elders, set off towards Hanjiang City.

Hanjiang City was not far from Zhuming Palace, and they could reach it in less than two hours.

Along the way, Elder Jing and Elder Huang engaged in various conversations with Su Chen.

They indeed gained much insight from Su Chen.

Although Su Chen was young and only at the Fifth Stage Snow Intention Realm, he had obtained the position of Elder with the help of his brother.

- Heaven's Blade Technique -

Thinking of this, Su Chen voiced his request.

Elder Wang Shanlin was directly assigned as the Seventh Elder by Chai Yongshan.

"Is it common for ordinary people to have the qualifications to be protected by Transcendent Realm experts?" Elder Huang asked, "I heard that you, Su Chen, have already gained the title of Elder in Zhuming Palace. From now on, you should be addressed as Elder Su."

Currently, wherever Su Chen went, there were Transcendent Realm experts by his side, protecting him.

This was the same elder who had previously judged that Su Chen would amount to nothing.

Back in Tahe Sect, the two elders had treated Su Chen well.

They hadn't even been willing to give Su Chen a chance to prove himself.

The first task they received from Tahe Sect required fulfilling two conditions.

Secondly, Su Chen was to obtain the Priority Right in Drug Demand from Zhuming Palace.

It was Elder Wang Shanlin's suggestion that brought Su Chen to Zhuming Palace.

He had heard from many people that Fan Chengyan was domineering and arrogant.

Initially, they had confidently judged and concluded about Su Chen.

In reality, he had not yet stepped into the Transcendent Realm.

Tahe Sect, being close to Zhuming Palace, had learned of this earlier.

Currently, it was still manageable, but as more time passed, the number of people would likely increase."

During the meal, Carpenter had a few drinks and was in high spirits.

Seeing the two Transcendent Realm experts leave the private room, Elder Wang Shanlin and the others felt much more relaxed.

They wondered if Han Fei Che, whom Elder Wang Shanlin had arranged, had gained any benefits, or if he would go crazy.

From Tahe Sect's perspective, the two elders had indeed made significant contributions.

As fellow Transcendent Realm experts, Elders Jing and Huang exuded a more pronounced air of arrogance.

"Based on my experience and strength, the position of Elder is a bit excessive."

Su Chen knew that Carpenter could handle the situation within a quarter of an hour.

"Su Xiaoyou, about those previous matters, it's us who..."

After a little over an hour, the three of them arrived at Hanjiang City.

Most people were there to wait for medicine.

But the way he spoke, it was as if he were addressing a junior.

Su Chen smiled and made some playful jokes.

Due to Su Chen's actions, the positions of Elders Jing and Huang in Tahe Sect had been elevated.

If one wanted to consume it, they could only do so at Zhuming Palace.

Not to mention the alchemists, even the menial disciples within Zhuming Palace might start acting arrogantly.

Those elders, including Chai Yongshan, might feel that the benefits they had given the two elders were not enough.

- Heaven's Blade Technique -

Various people thought that Su Chen was incompetent and would not achieve anything in the Alchemy Dao.

"Knowing that Zhuming Palace can refine higher-quality Jade Medicine Pills, more people will come seeking medicine.

Su Chen and the two elders went to a spacious private room to wait.

Numerous warriors came and went, including some top-tier Transcendent Realm experts.

Why bother with all this?"

But Elder Wang Shanlin and the others had been waiting in Hanjiang City all this time.

After exchanging greetings, Su Chen also introduced Elders Jing and Huang to Elder Wang Shanlin and Qin Wei.

For Elder Wang Shanlin and Qin Wei, if they could easily resolve these issues.

Behind the two elders were Jiang Zhu and Yan You.

"There are six inns and taverns in Hanjiang City. Go and ask around, and you should be able to find the person you're looking for, Su Xiaoyou."

Elder Wang Shanlin and Qin Wei's demeanor was noticeably more humble.

Su Chen seemed to have a question mark hanging above his head.

But Elder Wang Shanlin shook his head solemnly.

Many times, locals brought items in need of repair.

This Priority Right in Drug Demand was not easily obtained.

There were no connecting canyons in the surrounding wilderness.

However, others could sense that they no longer treated Su Chen as a junior or a younger generation.

They began asking around in the various inns and taverns.

But the two elders had to follow their instructions.

It was embarrassing for elders to apologize to juniors.

Such people would be more likely to apologize if Su Chen didn't acknowledge it.

Seeing Su Chen, the two elders hurriedly greeted him.

In the vicinity of Hanjiang City, there were no dense forests.

Qin Wei, who was beside him, interjected at an opportune moment.

Seeing their solemn expressions, one would think they had a difficult request, but it turned out to be this? "If these are truly the only two conditions, Elder Wang Shanlin and Elder Qin can make the decision directly."

He did have some matters that required assistance.

But the current Su Chen was no ordinary disciple.

The preciousness of Jade Pill medicine meant it was never allowed to be taken away for research.

So, why would they come to Hanjiang City?

Therefore, those seeking the pill would naturally have to wait for its refinement.

After the negotiation, the matter was settled.

But one couldn't be sure.

After visiting the Alchemy Chamber of Tahe Sect, he had once felt somewhat disheartened.

Seeing Su Chen's straightforward and honest speech, Elder Wang Shanlin and Qin Wei also spoke less formally.

Otherwise, within Tahe Sect, many might not be convinced."

So, after sending the letter, he didn't hold out much hope.

The Jade Pill medicine refined by Zhuming Palace was not allowed to be taken away.

He then explained the reason to Su Chen.

Others must have been harboring grievances in their hearts.

So, they put on a show for others, making it seem like they had spent a lot of effort and time.

"Go and explain to them, reason with them, and say that this is just a matter of skill."

The Hanjiang City before them did not have overly towering walls.

First, to ease the relationship with Zhuming Palace.

That way, they'd feel better about the money.

Arrange it for us, and it'll be easier to report internally.

Hearing Su Chen's words, Elder Wang Shanlin and Qin Wei furrowed their brows and exchanged a glance.

When cultivating something, if it's done too quickly, others will feel they didn't get their money's worth.

They can make the situation sound as challenging as they want.

If something comes up, it's fine to leave temporarily.

Upon hearing this, Su Chen nodded.

"No problem, I can promise you now."

It was evident that both of them were feeling very uncomfortable.

As Transcendent Realm experts of Zhuming Palace, their status was different.

"You can really assign us some tasks, and with the benefits you give us, we'll feel more at ease."

He didn't even reach the level of a steward of Zhuming Palace.

But for Elder Wang Shanlin and Qin Wei, if Wulang Manor didn't send people to disturb them, it would be as if they had been cultivating peacefully in Tiangang City for two years.

Wanting to make the atmosphere as relaxed as possible, not as solemn as it was now.

He directly chose to go out for training."

Seeing the exterior, Su Chen felt that these walls were just for show.

"Elder Wang, Team Leader Qin."

In the private room, only Su Chen, Elder Wang Shanlin, and Qin Wei remained.

P

In front of Elder Wang Shanlin, Su Chen remained humble.

"Yan You was scolded in public, and then the Sect Master pulled him aside and scolded him again.

There must be something important he wants to say.

Not only does Tahe Sect owe them a favor, but they also feel at ease.

During their casual chat, they also brought up Jiang Zhu.

If I hadn't pleaded for him, he might have had to endure more hardships.

Team Leader Qin Wei was incorporated into the core system of Tahe Sect.

But on the way back to Zhuming Palace, those conversations were truly unpleasant.

When the time came for Zhuming Palace to send someone, the inn servant would hear the news and then go and inform them.

It wasn't just the pressure from Tahe Sect, but also from themselves and their close associates.

These two, unconsciously lowered their heads, not speaking with Su Chen.

Hearing these words, Su Chen hesitated for a moment, then realized.

Jiang Zhu was still saying some flattering words, but Su Chen waved his hand.

Making his efforts seem as grand as possible.

The surrounding restaurants and inns were visibly bustling with business.

But everyone could sense it.

Young, but already an Elder in Zhuming Palace, highly regarded within the palace.

Everyone was familiar with this rule and didn't find it strange.

After returning, Elder Wang Shanlin and Qin Wei could add some spice to these stories and tell the higher-ups of Tahe Sect about it.

Without others around, Su Chen spoke more directly.

During this time waiting for the pill, they all stayed in Hanjiang City.

Initially, in Jiang'an City, he had also heard of such a situation.

Hearing this, Su Chen thought seriously.

He would have others come later to collect it, saying he needed to cultivate for one or two hours.

In the private room, Su Chen was left to chat with Elder Wang Shanlin and the others from Tahe Sect.

Additionally, the help that Elder Qin and I provided wasn't that significant.

Arranging for two Transcendent Realm warriors to accompany them.

Especially for an alchemist like Yan You, in Zhuming Palace, he would be considered middle-tier at most.

Seeing that Su Chen had brought up Yan You, Elder Wang Shanlin immediately called for both him and Jiang Zhu.

Hearing these words, Yan You, who was standing nearby, felt even more embarrassed.

Not to mention, it was Su Chen, who could frequently interact with the Palace Master of Zhuming Palace, a renowned alchemist.

It seemed that things had settled down in Tiangang City.

The person he looked down upon was now valued by the prestigious Zhuming Palace.

They had to swallow their pride and plead with Su Chen, nearly begging for their lives.

There was a carpenter in the eastern part of the city whom Su Chen had helped before he left for the Yunyang Sect.

Senior Jing observed the crowded scene and explained the situation to Su Chen.

However, today, Wang Shanlin and Qin Wei themselves might not have realized this.

Only then did Su Chen learn that after he left the Tahe Sect, the Sect Master Chai Yongshan was so furious that he pounded the table.

Turning his head, he looked at Jiang Zhu and Yan You, asking them to wait outside.

After saying this, the two seniors left the private room and sat in the adjacent room.

No longer accepting challengers, he was promoted to the position of Sect Elder.

But speaking of which, with your abilities, you shouldn't have stayed in the Tahe Sect in the first place."

Since it's a rare opportunity to meet, let's have a chat."

"Su Xing, considering our past friendship, you didn't make any demands and directly agreed to these conditions.

"We'll be waiting nearby, and if you need anything, just call out to us."

During their conversation, Elder Wang Shanlin couldn't help but bring up this matter.

Hearing this, Wang Shanlin and Qin Wei didn't think too much and readily agreed.

The monsters were highly sensitive to powerful warriors, and they couldn't compete with them.

Among ordinary Transcendent Realm warriors, the two of them were indeed a cut above the rest.

Their gentle tone and manner of speech seemed not much different from when they were in the Tahe Sect.

Moreover, their proximity to the top-tier alchemy power, Zhuming Palace, was a significant factor.

Qin Wei, standing nearby, couldn't help but feel moved as well.

Both of them had received help from Su Chen.

We need to show the Sect that we've made sacrifices for this matter.

Apologize to Su Chen and admit their mistake.

After all, they were his elders.

The few of them exchanged glances.

After a while, when more people knew about this, they could seek out the alchemist from Zhuming Palace.

Leaving the Tahe Sect, he became a high-ranking official in Tiangang City.

The duration was two years.

They had no intention of apologizing, and Su Chen didn't accept their apology either.

Soon, Elder Wang Shanlin and Qin Wei, along with their group, came knocking on the door.

Zhuming Palace's breakthrough in refining Jade Pills would lead to even higher positions in the future.

It was a topic that could easily lead to arguments and disputes.

I, along with Elder Qin, naturally feel grateful.

Those who came to stay at the inn would write down their identity information with the innkeeper.

As Su Chen walked into Hanjiang City, he felt that it was much warmer than many other cities.

Zhuming Palace now had an even better grasp of refining Jade Pills, and continuing this tradition would ensure that no one would find it inappropriate.

"With such capabilities, why did you ever think of going to the canyon frontline to deal with monsters?"

"I merely reaped some benefits, and it just so happened that Palace Master Yao held me in higher regard.

Even if there were many doubts and questions in his heart, the skeptical Yan You seemed to be more convinced.

I hope Elder Wang Shanlin and Elder Qin Wei can help protect Tiangang City.

Yan You and Jiang Zhu, standing nearby, both stepped forward to speak softly to Su Chen.

Perhaps it was just a casual remark, but it seemed that Su Chen didn't truly understand those cultivation techniques.

Facing the two of them, Su Chen didn't bring up any other demands.

Finding the third inn, there were indeed people from the Tahe Sect.

"That's it?"

They needed to show the higher-ups of the Tahe Sect their contributions, so that they would feel it was right to promote the two of them to the position of elders.

But still, it's better to make some demands.

After settling the main matters, the few of them began to chat about unimportant topics, engaging in small talk.

But these casual remarks brought them many insights.

If it was just a casual meetup, there would be many opportunities.

These two inns had established these rules years ago.

"Not hiding it from Elder Shanlin, to be honest, I didn't expect my alchemy techniques to be valued by Zhuming Palace either.

Hearing this, Su Chen looked at them with confusion.

"Su Xing, see if there's anything we can help you with.

In the private room, Elder Wang Shanlin joked.

For warriors of their age, two years passed by quickly.

Being able to justify taking two years off for cultivation was indeed a good thing.

There was still a long way to go before reaching the Transcendent Realm.

This was also one of the reasons why Jiang Zhu targeted him.

He just didn't expect Jiang Zhu's judgment to be so off."
