Chapter 914: After the Moon Goddess Left
Meanwhile, as the remaining disciples were down to four from six and two among them had decided to quit the Pill Tower, the situation at the office remained awkward and tense even after the Moon Goddess and her group had left. Pill Tower Master, Han Siyu and his friends, Li Houye and Su Kan sat together at the same couch while the other elders had taken their own seats nearby. They also wanted to know what was truly happening. The Pill Tower used to have one Pill Tower Master, and three Grand Elders. The grand elders are Su Kan, Li Houye and the man with the surname Lin who was killed during the purge.
Grand Elder Su Kan asked, "Lao Han, what the hell is truly happening?! Who the hell are those people?"
"Are they truly the owner of this tower? You’ve always told us that this Pill Tower was not originally ours. Did your former master say something about this Pill Tower you haven’t informed us yet?" Grand Elder Li Houye asked.
The Pill Tower Master, Han Siyu, didn’t answer right away as if thinking how he should answer this question. His silence made the already impatient Grand Elder Su Kan angrier after all, they had lost one of their brothers to this unknown people. On the other hand, Grand Elder Li was also unexpectedly silent while observing the reaction of the Pill Tower Master.
Grand Elder Li Houye narrowed his eyes dangerously and said, "Are the identities of those people something you cannot tell us?"
"If it’s before, I indeed cannot tell you. Now, it’s a different story since you guys choose to stay," Pill Tower Master Han Siyu said.
He calmly took a sip of his tea and enjoyed the spiritual effect of the tea. Everyone waited and no one forced him to speak right away. Only when Pill Tower Master, Han Siyu, had placed down his cup that he had spoken once again.
Pill Tower Master Han Siyu said, "As you already know, this Pill Tower’s former owner was my master. The old master who had passed away a few decades ago. It was at that time that I learned of the Pill Tower. According to my master the real owner of the Pill Tower would appear one day and the real owner of the Pill Tower is someone who held the token that shows that they are the current era’s Divine Doctor."
"Divine Doctor!?" Every elders in the room exclaimed.
No one expected that the real owner of the Pill Tower would be someone like this. The existence of the Divine Doctor even in the Core Region of the Immortal World is considered legendary as this is an existence that can cure all kinds of illness and remorse says that as long as you have one breath left in you, they can bring you back to life.
Grand Elder Su Kan recalled the scene of what happened just now in this room. That young lady whose face was veiled had declared that this Pill Tower was owned by her and thus the following things had happened. Purging to clean out all the spies, she was so merciless that all of those who had connection to the outside of the tower were all killed. Moreover, she seems so unsatisfied that the strongest alchemist in their Pill Tower was only in the seventh grade.
The rest of the elders were all speechless. This is the Divine Doctor they are talking about. The miracle of the Immortal World. Now the Pill Tower Master is saying that the real owner of this tower was someone that legendary. Doesn’t that mean that the young lady from before is this current era’s Divine Doctor!? She is so young, but she is truly the Divine Doctor.
Grand Elder Li Houye frowned and asked, "Did she show the proof of her identity to you? The token of the Divine Doctor. Was it truly on her?!"
Pill Tower Master Han Siyu nods his head and waves his hand taking some of the old letters and things from his old master. Within these things a scroll that shows the personalized jade token of the Divine Doctor was showered before them.
He said, "The token that was shown to me by the young lady was something like this. The real token which is only passed down to the divine doctor’s lineage. I am not lying. Do you remember that shadow-like person? You might not have recognized him but he is definitely someone famous. The Evernight Manor’s Lord, the Assassin King who was said to have Quasi-Emperor realm cultivation. There is also the Hanging Herb Garden Evergreen’s lord, Shi Chuan. For these two influential people following after the young lady in veil shows that her background was truly not ordinary."
"She is truly the Divine Doctor?" Grand Elder Su Kan asked in disbelief.
Pill Tower Master Han Siyu nods his head. Seeing the serious expression on their friend’s face, he is clearly not lying to them. That means that young lady is most likely this era’s divine doctor and she came back to the Inner Haven not only took back the ownership of the Pill Tower and most likely the new owners of the Evernight Manor and the Evergreen Hanging Garden. Just thinking all of these properties were enough to walk sideways in the Inner Real.
Grand Elder Li Houye asked, "Then Lao Han, do you know the identity of the man beside her? That dangerous looking handsome swordsmaster?"
"You are talking about the swordsmaster by her side. He might be her protector. A guardian from her family or something," answered Pill Tower Master Han Siyu.
Grand Elder Li Houye’s thoughts don’t seem to register with the words of his friend. That the young man who unhesitatingly killed the last living spy within their group without hesitation or care for their presence. Just an overbearing presence, yet choose to stand by the side of the Divine Doctor would definitely not be an ordinary man. He seems to possess an identity that is far more noble than being just a swordsmaster.
Pill Tower Master, Han Siyu said, "Either way, we will meet them all again tomorrow. Since the Divine Doctor herself was going to teach us alchemy, it would mean that we will know what real alchemy is all about."
"There is something you must remember the fact that the young lady from before being the Divine Doctor must not be spread. You know what kind of existence the Divine Doctor is. If the old monsters in the Core Region learn about her existence then she might fall in danger. No one is allowed to put the Master of our Pill Tower in danger. Do you understand?"
"Yes, we do!"
"Alright, the meeting is adjourned. You can go back and have a rest now," said Pill Tower Master Han Siyu as he sent all the elders out of his office except for his two friends.
After only three of them are left inside the office.
Grand Elder Su Kan still couldn’t accept that their sword brother, Lao Lin, had been killed in their own territory. He is their close friend after all.
He said, "Then Lao Lin... Did he truly deserve his death?" Su Kan asked.
Pill Tower Master Han Siyu said, "Did you truly believe that the ones killed during the purging are innocent? If you cannot believe it then have someone investigate the history of all of the people who were killed yourself. I am not stopping you!"
"Alright! I will investigate it then!" Grand Elder Su Kan said before leaving.
Seeing that Grand Elder Su Kan had left, Han Siyu sighed deeply, seeing that his other friend couldn’t accept the reality before his eyes.
"Don’t worry about Lao Su. He will stop once he hears what kind of person Lao Lin thoroughly is." Grand Elder Li Houye said.
Pill Tower Master Han Siyu looked at Grand Elder Li Houye, the brain among their small group of brotherhood.
He asked, "What about you Lao Li? Do you think I am lying or not?"
"You would never lie to us. Which meant she is truly the Divine Doctor and since she had returned, the authority she had over the Pill Tower was also returned to her. After all, if she is not the master of the tower, the mysterious elder at the warehouse would most likely not just watch as the purging began. That elder was the last backing your master had given to you didn’t he?" Grand Elder Li Houye said.
Sigh~
"Yes, the fact that Elder Ku didn’t make a move shows that he recognized her as the divine doctor of this era and didn’t stop the purging she desired," said Pill Tower Master Han Siyu. "I need to inform my brother about these changes as well. After all, I have written his name in that contract the Yun Clan had brought over."
"The Alchemist Battle is it? The last name on that list. Is that her name?" Grand Elder Li Houye asked.
The Pill Tower Master, Han Siyu nods his head. "While signing the contract, I heard her voice commanding me in my mind to write the name she had mentioned. I had already written her name and the contract had already been finalized before I realized what I had just written. She might have an ability to force people to comply with her commands, or maybe she is so powerful that I was deemed helpless against her. Either way, the stronger she is, the safer our Pill Tower would be."
