Zhou Zhuo could not accept that the one who returned was Ye Tianze and not Mo Cong and Mo Sheng. Those two were the best among the servants.
Because of that, Zhou Zhuo was still wary of him even though Mo Cong had shown him his loyalty. He was afraid that Ye Tianze would replace him as Lv Aoshan's messenger.
Before he had the strength to challenge the elders, Zhou Zhuo had to stand firm under Lv Aoshan. Therefore, anyone who threatened his position would be suppressed by him.
"Why can't I return?" Ye Tianze asked.
"No, what I mean is, where are Mo Cong and Mo Sheng? Those two clearly followed you out. Why didn't they return?"
Zhou Zhuo asked.
"How would I know? I'm not their nanny. Maybe they were eaten by spirit beasts when they went out."
Ye Tianze said.
"What kind of attitude is that? Is that how you talk to me?" Zhou Zhuo's face was cold. "What do you mean?"
"I mean, they're dead!" Ye Tianze said.
"Dead!"
Zhou Zhuo's expression changed. "You killed them? Impossible. With your strength, how could you kill them? But … "
"Is there anything else?" Ye Tianze interrupted. "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
Zhou Zhuo was about to stop him and ask for an explanation, but he noticed that Ye Tianze's gaze made his hair stand on end. He immediately gave up on the idea.
Zhou Zhuo thought about it and immediately reported the matter to Lv Aoshan. He also added some details to the story.
He hoped that Lv Aoshan would pay attention to this matter. It would be best if she could pay more attention to Ye Tianze. That way, Ye Tianze would suffer.
However, Lv Aoshan's attitude was very ambiguous. She only replied with a "Understood" and asked him to leave.
Zhou Zhuo immediately felt a sense of pressure. If Ye Tianze replaced him and became Lv Aoshan's servant with the highest status, then there was no reason for him to exist.
After all, he was at the peak of the Earth Realm with thirty Tides. Even if he did not challenge the elders, he would still be a threat to them.
If Ye Tianze replaced him, he would only have two paths left. Either he succeeded in challenging the elders or he would die!
He didn't know that Lu Aoshan was also vexed these days. She went to Dan Lao's place, but with Dan Lao's level, he couldn't see any signs of poisoning.
"Could it be that he's trying to trick me?" Lv Aoshan thought to herself. "Or could it be that his alchemy skills are even higher than Dan Lao's?"
Before this matter was confirmed, Lu Aoshan was not ready to fall out with Ye Tianze. She called Zhou Zhuo over and asked him to secretly monitor Ye Tianze and see what he was doing every day.
For the past few days, Ye Tianze had not left the nine-floored pagoda. Instead, he had been wandering around the nine-floored pagoda. Just as Lu Aoshan had said, the treasures and elixirs in the nine-floored pagoda were extremely scarce.
However, the pills and treasures refined in the Nine Story Pagoda were not low grade. It was just that the amount refined was very small.
For example, the pills sold in the Nine Story Pagoda were all Heaven grade pills. They were also the most common pills. However, for Earth Realm experts, it was better than nothing.
The pills that were truly useful to Earth Realm experts were Immortal Pills.
Among them, high grade Immortal Pills were priceless. Even if they appeared, people would fight over them. They would require a large amount of high grade Origin Stones to buy them.
Once they appeared, they would basically be bought by high grade elders. As for slaves? They would not even be able to see them.
Ye Tianze even went to the Nine Story Pagoda's Alchemy Room. However, he discovered that the so-called Immortal Pills were actually trash made from top quality materials.
"With the Pill King's and my level, the pills refined from these top quality materials will definitely surpass theirs."
Ye Tianze thought to himself. "If I can become a Pill Master in the Nine Story Pagoda, wouldn't my status be much higher than an elder's?"
He asked around and found out that in the Nine Story Pagoda, a Pill Master's status far surpassed an elder's.
The scarcity of pills was naturally due to the scarcity of Pill Masters. However, it was not easy to become a Pill Master. First, one must obtain the approval of the Alchemy Room.
And this Alchemy Room was not a place that could be entered just because one wanted to. With his current status as a slave, he did not have the qualifications to participate in the Pill Master's assessment.
If he did not obtain the approval of the Alchemy Room and became a Pill Master in the Nine Story Pagoda, he would be killed by the Pill Masters in the Alchemy Room.
When he returned to the mansion, he found that Zhou Zhuo had been following him. He did not care.
"Lv Aoshan must not have found a way to cure the poison. That's why she asked Zhou Zhuo to keep an eye on me!"
Ye Tianze thought to himself. "Unfortunately, even if you find the best Pill Master in the world, you won't be able to find any clues. After all, how can you cure the suspicious poison in your heart?"
One month later.
Ye Tianze handed in all the tributes for the month, and as his strength increased by leaps and bounds, his lightning spiritual energy finally reached the limit of thirty Tideflows from nineteen Tideflows.
The Thunder Spirit Energy formed the Thunder Domain.
Although the pills he refined could not be sold, he could use them for himself. In this month, he spent almost half of his time in the mountains hunting spirit beasts and collecting spirit beasts to refine pills.
Ye Tianze used these materials to refine a new kind of Immortal Pill, named the Elemental Spirit Pill!
This Elemental Spirit Pill was the best pill to suppress a breakthrough and increase one's Tide. It was divided into three grades: High, Middle, and Low. In this month, the Pill King had figured out the way to refine the Middle Grade Immortal Pill.
In this way, the spirit beasts Ye Tianze hunted and the pills he collected were all refined into this kind of pill.
His Thunder Spirit Energy naturally reached the limit quickly, giving birth to the Thunder Domain.
With the Wind and Thunder Domain in his hands, Ye Tianze was confident that he could challenge a One Star Elder. Without using the Spherical Heaven Combat Body, challenging a One Star Elder was not a problem.
Seeing that Ye Tianze had once again handed in all the offerings, Zhou Zhuo was in disbelief. The last time could be said to be a coincidence, but what about this time?
Lv Aoshan personally walked out and inspected Ye Tianze's offerings, but there was no trace of a smile on her face.
After the inspection, Lv Aoshan collected all the offerings and said, "The challenge day will be in a few days. If you have the strength to challenge an elder, report to me. I, Lv Aoshan, am not a stingy person, I will not hinder your path of advancement."
When everyone heard this, they looked at Zhou Zhuo. Among Lv Aoshan's subordinates, he was the only one who was qualified to challenge an elder.
But they also knew that Zhou Zhuo did not have the confidence to become an elder, so they were just going through the formalities to see if there would be a miracle.
What surprised them was that Zhou Zhuo did not shrink back this time, and said respectfully, "Elder, I am willing to give it a try!"
"Is there anyone else?" Lv Aoshan nodded and glanced at the crowd, her gaze pausing on Ye Tianze for a while.
Ye Tianze naturally did not disappoint, and said, "I also want to give it a try."
