Gao Quan was filled with grief and indignation as he listened to Wang Baole's words. He felt that the one who was obstructing justice was Wang Baole. He was so frustrated that he was about to explode and was about to open his mouth to speak.
However, Wang Baole glared at him, and the viciousness in his eyes made Gao Quan tremble. He felt even more grief in his heart.
"Who's the bad guy? This Wang Baole is the bad guy! "
The surrounding students from the Lower Academy Island were all dumbfounded when they saw this scene. They looked at Wang Baole as if they were looking at a god. Some of them even had looks of worship in their eyes. They felt relieved when they saw Gao Quan get beaten up. Gao Quan was really unpopular in the Dao College.
This was especially so for the newbies in the crowd. Their understanding of Wang Baole was based on hearsay. Now that they saw it with their own eyes, they were all deeply shaken. Even though Wang Baole had already been promoted to Upper Academy Island, his past was still widely known in the Lower Academy Island. Now that they were shocked by this incident, they could only imagine that in the days to come, his story would become more deeply rooted and would be treated as a legend by the various faculties.
Even the newbies who came to the Dao College in the future would probably grow up hearing about Wang Baole's legend after entering the Lower Academy Island. After entering the Upper Academy Island step by step, they would probably ask around about Wang Baole at the first opportunity.
In the hearts of the Lower Academy Island students, Wang Baole … had already become the ultimate legend that no one could surpass …
The Chancellor was having a headache. Although Wang Baole was outstanding, his ability to stir up trouble was not to be underestimated. That was especially so with the deep conflict between him and Gao Quan. However, even after leaving, Wang Baole still returned to beat him up. The Chancellor did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Just as he was thinking about how to deal with this, Zhou Xiaoya's gentle voice sounded in the central square.
"Brother Baole … there's no need to take the test anymore. The result will be the same anyway," Zhou Xiaoya said as she walked to Wang Baole's side. She held his hand and shook her head gently.
"How can that be!" Wang Baole was about to continue speaking when the Alchemy Pavilion elder sitting beside the Chancellor suddenly laughed.
"Young man, are you sure you want to take the test again?"
Wang Baole had long noticed this old man. When he heard this, he felt that there was something wrong with his words. He looked at Zhou Xiaoya and then at the old man. In fact, when the old man had just watched him attack without stopping him, Wang Baole had already guessed what was going on.
Looking at Wang Baole's expression, the elder from the Alchemy Pavilion smiled. He shifted his gaze and looked at Zhou Xiaoya. His expression was slightly serious as he asked.
"Zhou Xiaoya, tell me, why did you put in the Afterglow Grass at the end?"
Hearing the old man's words, Zhou Xiaoya took a deep breath. She didn't let go of Wang Baole's hand.
She said softly, "Because according to the formula of the Cloud Breath Pill, the higher the purity, the stronger the medicinal poison. The Afterglow Grass can neutralize the medicinal poison, so … I put in the Afterglow Grass."
When Zhou Xiaoya said that, the surroundings immediately quietened down. Chen Fei was also stunned for a moment. She looked at Zhou Xiaoya abruptly. As for Wang Baole, he blinked and lowered his head to look at the Vice Chancellor, Gao Quan, who looked like he had nothing to live for. He didn't say anything.
"Do you know that the Afterglow Grass can neutralize the medicinal poison but will affect the purity of the pill?" The Alchemy Pavilion elder's gaze sharpened, as if he wanted to see through Zhou Xiaoya's heart.
"I know," Zhou Xiaoya was a little scared. She tightened her grip on Wang Baole's hand and said softly.
"You know? I'm sure you also know that the assessment criteria this time is based on the purity of the pill. Then why do you still want to do this? Don't tell me you don't want to receive the reward of being specially recruited! " The Alchemy Pavilion elder spoke slowly, but the sharpness in his eyes intensified. Even his body emitted a suppressive force. This suppressive force made even Wang Baole's heart palpitate.
Zhou Xiaoya's breathing quickened and her body trembled. However, when she felt Wang Baole's grip on her hand slightly tightened, she raised her head resolutely and looked at the Alchemy Pavilion elder. Her eyes were clear and there was a sense of determination in them as she spoke softly.
"Because the path of the Pill Dao is based on the person. If I only care about the purity of the pill and ignore the medicinal poison, I will not be refining a kind pill that can heal people or aid in cultivation. It will be an evil pill that harms people …"
"Even if I can be flexible and win based on the purity of the pill and obtain the reward, I can hide it from others, but I can't hide it from myself. There are some things that will happen a second time after the first time. I don't want to harm people. I just want to be worthy of the pill I refined, worthy of my conscience, and worthy of anyone who consumes my pill!"
"My pill's purity is not high enough, but it … is not poisonous." Zhou Xiaoya's voice was soft at the beginning, but it gradually became louder.
She had always been timid. She had been like this since she was young. However, today, in front of everyone's eyes and with Wang Baole by her side, she spoke of her philosophy towards the Pill Dao. She spoke of her goals and principles towards the Pill Dao!
In her heart, she said to herself,
"I will always refine pills for Big Brother Baole …"
These words spread out from her mouth and landed in the ears of the people around her. Everyone's hearts trembled intensely, especially the students of the Pill Dao Department. They fell silent.
Chen Fei's body trembled. When she saw the solemn face of the Pill Dao Pavilion elder, she slowly regained some hope. She was extremely nervous and worried about her gains and losses.
Wang Baole's heart also trembled. He turned to look at Zhou Xiaoya, as if he was meeting her for the first time.
The surroundings were silent. Even the Vice Chancellor, Gao Quan, seemed to have forgotten about his pain. When he looked at Zhou Xiaoya, he had a complicated expression and an indescribable feeling. The Chancellor also fell silent. However, there was a slight smile at the corner of his mouth. His eyes were filled with strong admiration.
The Pill Dao Pavilion elder was silent for a long time. There was a look of reminiscence in his eyes. It was as if Zhou Xiaoya's words had reminded him of someone in the past. After a while, he sighed softly. The solemn expression on his face gradually turned into benevolence. He looked at Zhou Xiaoya and suddenly said.
"The concept of a kind pill is rare and commendable … Zhou Xiaoya, you don't have to call yourself a student. If you are willing, you can call yourself a disciple in front of me!"
When these words were spoken, the surrounding people were all shocked. Wang Baole was also surprised. Chen Fei felt her vision darken. She staggered as if she could not stand properly. Her face was extremely pale.
"Ah?" Only Zhou Xiaoya was stunned. She was at a loss and subconsciously looked at Wang Baole.
It was also at this moment that the Pill Dao Pavilion elder stood up with a smile and said to the Chancellor beside him.
"Old Lu, I'll take this girl away and accept her as my last disciple. Will you let her go?"
The Chancellor laughed heartily and stood up as well. He was happy for Zhou Xiaoya and even more excited. He knew the identity of the elder in front of him. He was one of the four elders of the Pill Dao Pavilion. On the path of alchemy, he was famous in the entire Federation.
"Xiaoya, what are you waiting for?" At this thought, the Chancellor looked at Zhou Xiaoya encouragingly.
Wang Baole was also overjoyed. He hurriedly tugged at Zhou Xiaoya. Zhou Xiaoya finally reacted. Although she was still a little confused, she was not stupid. Her face was flushed red as she stepped forward and bowed.
"Disciple greets Master!"
The Pill Dao Pavilion elder laughed loudly. With a wave of his sleeve, he actually brought Zhou Xiaoya along and stepped into the air, heading straight for Upper Academy Island. From the beginning to the end, he did not even look at Chen Fei, much less mention the reward.
"What cultivation level is this old man at? He can step into the air?!" This scene made Wang Baole's eyes shrink.
The surrounding people were all shocked as well. They looked at Zhou Xiaoya's figure in the air, especially the students of the Pill Dao faculty, who were even more envious. As for Chen Fei, her face was now pale as she sat paralyzed on the ground.
At this moment, the laughter of the elder and Zhou Xiaoya could be heard from afar.
"Wang Baole, don't disturb Xiaoya during this period of time. She needs to go into seclusion. I will get her an eight-inch Spirit Root. If you don't work hard in your cultivation, you might be surpassed by her."
"Brother Baole, wait for me to come out of seclusion. I will go and find you …"
Looking at the back view of the two people, Wang Baole grinned. He was happy for Zhou Xiaoya. Just as he was about to leave, he noticed the Chancellor's gaze on him. He scratched his head and released his grip on Gao Quan's hair.
"You have already entered Upper Academy Island. Why are you still so rash!" The Chancellor glared at Wang Baole.
Wang Baole was a little embarrassed. He lowered his head and looked at the aggrieved Gao Quan. He coughed dryly and patted the trembling Gao Quan's shoulder.
"Old Gao, don't do bad things in the future. Do more good things. Do you understand?"
"Chancellor, I just remembered that I still have a Dharma artifact that I am halfway through refining. I will leave first …" With that, Wang Baole hurriedly rushed to the cruiser and flew into the air. He quickly left the Pill Dao faculty and headed straight for Upper Academy Island.
Watching Wang Baole's figure disappear into the distance, the surrounding people looked at each other. The Chancellor was also very helpless. In the end, he looked at the aggrieved Gao Quan and knew that this was a misunderstanding. He sighed.
"Gao Quan, you …" He wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know where to start. In the end, he simply gave Gao Quan a bottle of elixirs. He thought that it was time to change the vice-chancellor. He turned and left.
Only Gao Quan stood there in grief and indignation. He wanted to cry but had no tears. The feeling of being wronged spread throughout his heart.
