Although the Great Elder was angry, he was not irrational. Since the other party dared to steal his business, there must be someone behind this.
After a pause, the Great Elder asked, "Who is this person? Who is supporting him?"
The disciple did not ask around. He only knew that someone was stealing business. If someone dared to steal business from the Alchemy Hall in the outer sect, wouldn't he be dealt with?
"Reporting to the Great Elder, as far as I know, this person is just a servant from the Gathering Hall. He has only been in the Confucian Sect for less than a month. He is not even an official disciple," the disciple said.
"What? A servant from the Gathering Hall dares to steal business from the Alchemy Hall?" The Great Elder's eyes widened. "If a tiger doesn't show its might, it really thinks that we are sick cats. It seems that since the Alchemy Hall has not done anything for many years, the outer sect people think that we are pushovers?"
"This disciple is willing to bring people and capture that servant." The disciple took the lead and was unusually confident.
"Alright, bring a few people over. Be sure to smash his stall and capture him. He has to spit out all the points he earned," the Great Elder ordered.
"This disciple understands." The disciple immediately brought people over.

The group of people did not leave. In their opinion, this disciple would return soon. After all, who would dare to stop the Alchemy Hall from doing things?
"The days of the Inner Patrol Hall and the Law Enforcement Hall have been too comfortable recently. Pass down the order. From today until next month, all disciples are prohibited from refining pills for the Inner Patrol Hall and the Law Enforcement Hall's disciples," the Great Elder ordered.
The three elders nodded. The leading elder said, "The Inner Patrol Hall and the Law Enforcement Hall actually did not ask about this matter. It is time to punish them. However, isn't one month too long? After all, the Inner Patrol Hall and the Law Enforcement Hall have the support of the inner sect forces behind them. "
"Hmph, the Inner Patrol Hall and the Law Enforcement Hall only give so much every month. I'm afraid that the two halls combined are not even half of what we receive every month. If we don't punish them, do we have to do it ourselves when such things happen in the future?" The Great Elder said coldly. "We are alchemists. Our spiritual power is used to refine pills. We can't tolerate such waste."
The few elders had no more objections. But at this moment, a young man rushed in from outside and said, "Something big … something bad has happened. Something big has happened …"
"Impudent! How dare a part-time disciple barge into the main hall? Don't you have eyes?" An elder berated.
The handyman was so scared that he was trembling all over. Paralyzed on the ground, he said in fear, "I was really helpless. Just now, I went to catch that handyman disciple who stole our business with my senior brother. Who would have thought that we would be beaten up and my senior brother was also detained. That handyman from the Collection Hall even said that he would only release him if the elders came in person!"
"What?!" There was an uproar in the Alchemy Hall.
The Great Elder's expression was extremely gloomy, but he was sensitive enough to feel that something was amiss. He asked, "Did you say that you're disciples of the Alchemy Hall?"
"He did, but … but that odd-job worker from the Gathering Hall actually said, Alchemy Hall? The Alchemy Hall is nothing, "the odd-job worker said with a bitter expression.
"How dare you!" The three elders slapped the table and stood up.
The disciples were filled with righteous indignation. As the overlords of the outer sect, even the Law Enforcement Hall and the Internal Patrol Hall had to obey them. When had they ever suffered such humiliation?
"I request permission to go and arrest that person," an elder said.
Although the Great Elder felt that something was amiss, this matter concerned the reputation of the Alchemy Hall. If they compromised, how could the Alchemy Hall maintain a foothold in the outer sect in the future? Today, a handyman stole their business and beat up their people. Tomorrow, everyone would come to find fault with them.
"Go. You must do it cleanly. You must let everyone know how powerful the Alchemy Hall is," the Great Elder ordered.
After the elder left, he looked at the leading elder and said, "Go and investigate. See who exactly is behind this person. Also, find out everything that has happened in the outer sect recently. Don't fall into someone else's trap."
The elder immediately went to investigate.
Before the elder returned, a disciple returned with a bruised nose and a swollen face. Everyone could tell that this was the disciple who had followed the elder to arrest the handyman.
"It's not good. Great Elder, the elder has been detained by that handyman. Our people have been beaten up by him," the disciple said with a bitter face.
The Great Elder clenched his fists so tightly that cracking sounds could be heard. The disciples were shocked. He even dared to detain the elder?
"How dare he? He's really overturning the heavens. We must kill him. Otherwise, where will the dignity of the Alchemy Hall exist?"
"It's too easy for him to kill him. How dare he bully the Alchemy Hall like this? We must capture him and torture him well. We'll make him suffer a fate worse than death!"
Hearing the disciples' indignant voices, the Great Elder did not say a word. At this moment, he had already deeply realized that he had missed something. Otherwise, how could a handyman from the Collection Hall dare to beat up a disciple of the Alchemy Hall? Now, even the elder had been detained.
Most importantly, what right did he have to snatch business from the Alchemy Hall? If he did not have the ability, who would go there to refine pills?
At this moment, the elder who had gone to investigate returned. His face was extremely gloomy. It was obvious that the news he had received was very unfavorable.
"Reporting to Great Elder, we … I'm afraid we've kicked an iron plate," the elder said with a bitter face.
"What's going on?" the Great Elder asked.
The elder immediately recounted what he had found out. Everyone present was dumbfounded when they heard this.
Normally, they were the "Alchemy Masters" of the outer sect. It was not that they did not want to meddle in the affairs of the outer sect, but because of their status, they did not care at all.
Even if there was something, the Internal Patrol Hall and the Law Enforcement Hall would have already settled it for them. There was no need for them to do anything.
This also caused the Alchemy Hall to be isolated from news in the outer sect. The disciples were wholeheartedly focused on refining pills, while the elders were cultivating. Only the handymen would inquire about news from the outside world. However, they would not tell the disciples because the disciples were prideful and did not care to listen at all.
If it were not for this investigation, the Great Elder might not have known that Qin Weiyang, who had a Five Elements Spiritual Body, had appeared in the sect.
"Great Elder, what should we do?" an elder asked.
"No wonder the Law Enforcement Hall and Internal Patrol Hall did not care about this matter. This person did not hinder their interests. Since they suffered a loss, they naturally would not make a big fuss."
The Great Elder said, "But we're different. This person has touched our interests, which is the same as touching the interests of the inner sect. If we allow him to continue like this, I'm afraid our Alchemy Hall will have no place to stand!"
At this point, the Great Elder's face revealed a hint of viciousness. "Back then, our Alchemy Hall was a hall of the inner sect. It's fine if we were bullied by the Pill Hall, but a little bastard also dared to be fierce in front of us. If we don't kill him as an example, he will really treat us as pushovers!"
"But, he has the sect master's personal disciple behind him after all," the elder said worriedly.
"He has a personal disciple behind him. Don't tell me we don't have a personal disciple behind us? The many years of offerings were given to the inner sect Five Elements Hall and the Law Enforcement Hall. He is not only touching our interests, but also the interests of the six great halls of the inner sect! "
The Great Elder said, "A personal disciple who just entered the sect wants to shake the power of the entire sect? Dream on! "
