Chapter 50 - Drink More, Talk More
The people sat down around the stone table. The atmosphere after a few cups of wine suddenly changed, the four people felt relaxed. They talked to each other in a good manner. After some talking, Yue Qianchou also knew a little about the character of the three people. It was revealed that Ling Feng and Bei Zi were hearty and straightforward, they were people with a good temperament. This was rare in this self-sufficient world. While Xuan Ping spoke words like gold, his words often made people disheartened.
The characters of the three didn't need to be said, Yue Qianchou also felt that the three people also worth a pay. Not to mention that knowing a few friends in this unfamiliar place was not bad. Yue Qianchou asked some questions.
There wasn't any other reason beside he could sense the three people's cultivation were lower than him. Yue Qianchou found out that the three people annoyed the seniors and they were tasked to do heavy work that no one wanted to do. The bad luck was that the three people root bones were not very good, they had failed their first Foundation Establishment attempts and they would be expelled if they were to fail two more.
Yue Qianchou was a bit dumbfounded. What does it mean to be assigned here? Why should I put myself together with three people who have no future? Is Guan Weiwu the kind of person who destroys the bridge after he crossed? Will you disregard me after getting the command token?
Ling Feng seemed to see his frustration. After he lifted his hand and drank a cup of wine, he smiled and said, "You should have met with Yan Shu, I'm afraid there are some things you don't know yet. Yan Shu's Father manages some parts of the Immortal-Enchanting Island, he is Elder Yan Tuo. When Yan Shu joined Alchemy Pavilion some years ago, he originally wanted to take Elder Guan as a Master using his Father's influence. However, Elder Guan didn't give him a face. He refused him on the spot and assigned him to another master. Yan Shu is a narrow-minded man, a full-fledged villain. At that time, his anger was at the peak, but Elder Guan couldn't help it. After Elder Guan had risen name and position, he had received several disciples, but all without exception was killed by Yan Shu."
"Uh..." Yue Qianchou just drank the wine into his mouth and he almost spurted it out. He swallowed it and heard Bei Zi words, "Are you not afraid Senior Brother Yue? You're the disciple of Elder Guan... I hope you are an exception."
Yue Qianchou put down his wine cup, he stared at the three people and said, "Isn't that an exaggeration? Yan Shu killed Elder Guan's disciples just because he was rejected by him?"
"Shouldn't be wrong." Concluded Xuan Ping after he finished his cup. He didn't talk much, but his words were actually more effective than Ling Feng and Bei Zi to explain 10 sentences. Yue Qianchou completely broke his skeptical thoughts and unwillingly asked, "Did Elder Guan even take action after all his disciples were killed?"
Bei Zi laughed and said, "Haven't you heard of Elder Guan's nickname 'Mad Pill'? It is estimated that there is nothing that can occupy his mind beside alchemy. Even if a disciple were accepted today, the next day he might have forgotten about it. Do you think such a Master would care?"
Xuan Ping shook his head and said after another cup, "Unreliable."
Yue Qianchou was speechless, there was actually such a muddle-headed Master, how could the fate fell on him? He hated himself for being blinded that time, it was him who chose his own master. Mother! Father's life is bitter than a cabbage.
Ling Feng grabbed the jug beside Xuan Pin and filled Yue Qianchou's cup, "You should know that we have a lot of Nascent Soul cultivators here. If Yan Shu didn't use his father's name, he would be tasked to do odd jobs as a Core Formation cultivator instead of managing the new disciples, it looks like it does damage to your mind. Though I said that, but you don't have to worry too much. Immortal-Enchanting Island rules are not just furnishings, he doesn't dare to blatantly harm you, as long as you are vigilant, it won't be easy to kill you."
Yue Qianchou nodded his head and said nothing. His eyes flashed a cold gleam. The people around him didn't realize he made a determination to kill Yan Shu first. Adding that Yan Shu's mouth was really unbearable, he wanted to preserve his life without the fear of being hunted. There was no more consideration, not to mention there were already some disciples killed by him before.
However, in order to successfully reach the Foundation Establishment, he could only endure it for now, it was rare to join such a powerful sect after all. After thinking about what the three people had said, there were still some good things to expect. Yue Qianchou smiled and said, "Thank you fellow Brothers for reminding me, it is our first meeting, but I can say I'm not disappointed with it. I have heard that the Immortal-Enchanting Island is a world of paradise, but I haven't really experienced the beautiful scene here, could the three Brothers lead me to experience?"
Xuan Ping shook his head, "No."
Yue Qianchou asked, "Why?"
"Did Yan Shu tell you that any disciples who haven't reached Foundation Establishment stage yet are not allowed to walk outside the assigned area without permission?" Asked Ling Feng asked strangely, the other two people also gave a stare.
Yue Qianchou remembered that Yan Shu had told the rule to him. At that time, he thought that the man was just scaring the new guy so he didn't really think much about it, but now it seemed to be true. He couldn't help but ask, "Is there really such a rule? Why is that?"
"It's very simple," Ling Feng said, "Only Foundation Establishment cultivators can be regarded as true beginner disciples of Immortal-Enchanting Island. They can freely enter and exit any places that have no restriction set according to the rules. Including the 'Scripture Pavilion' that includes a variety of cultivation manuals. Secondly, any sects possess secrets that don't want outsiders to know, Immortal-Enchanting Island is not an exception. The most important point is the unsuccessful attempts after three Foundation Establishment pills are given and the disciple will be expelled from the sect. Senior Brother Yue, you should now understand that anyone under the Foundation Establishment stage is not allowed to go around freely."
"I understand, so it is for a precaution that those disciples who have been expelled might reveal the secret of Immortal-Enchanting Island." Yue Qianchou frowned, then continued, "In other words, the disciples who have not yet reached the Foundation Establishment stage are not considered a true disciple of Immortal-Enchanting Island."
Ling Feng got up and patted him on the shoulder while smiling, "You shouldn't think too much about it Senior Brother Yue. Looking at the whole cultivation realm, which sect disciples that have the opportunity to get three Foundation Establishment pills like our Immortal-Enchanting Island? I'm afraid there is no second to us. This alone is enough for other sect disciples to envy us. As far as I know, some of those disciples won't even get a single Foundation Establishment pill in their lifetime.
"Yeah," Bei Zi nodded. "I have figured it out for a long time. If I were to fail Foundation Establishment attempts for three times, I would have nothing to complain to be expelled from the Island. Everyone here has the same chance."
"Me too." Said Xuan Ping.
They misunderstood, but Yue Qianchou didn't think much about it. the blame was on Guan Yu's dishonesty, he didn't tell him the information in details. Guan Yu should have awareness about the problem he would face in this new environment. As for being the true disciples of Immortal-Enchanting Island, it wasn't important to Yue Qianchou, his only first goal was to succeed breakthrough to Foundation Establishment stage.
What's more, he held the key to solve all the current problems in his hands. Thinking here, Yue Qianchou smiled slightly, isn't Guan Weiwu the most authoritative person in Alchemy Pavilion? Isn't Guan Weiwu the Mad Pill? I don't believe that the Pills' Formulas of the Pill Sect won't interest you...
