Mesmerizing Ghost Doctor

Chapter 3182 Contest

She took them to Pill King Valley. Pill King walked alongside them while talking to Feng Jiu. "Disciple, your subordinates are too weak. Do you want to hand them over to me so I can help you train them?"

"It's not necessary." Feng Jiu flatly refused him.

"Heh, you don't give your master any face!" Pill King didn't seem angry, but he did narrow his eyes and smile at her. "But it seems you've all been severely injured. Did you manage to provoke some formidable enemies? Your appearance suggests that they almost annihilated you."

"Pill King Valley has been cut off from the rest of the world for many years. I suppose even if I tell you, you won't have any idea." Feng Jiu replied. They were flying on the airship that would transport them to Pill King Valley. After Pill King opened the boundary barrier, he arranged for Du Fan and the others to rest in the cave-dwelling.

After arranging them, Pill King looked at Feng Jiu with his hands clasped behind his back. "Well, you've brought your subordinates in. Later on, I'll tell my people to organise a solemn ceremony to acknowledge me as your Master. After tomorrow, I will be officially your Master."

"It's possible to acknowledge you as my Master, but I won't kneel." Feng Jiu answered him.

Pill King stopped stroking his beard and looked at her for a moment before nodding. "Very well. Rest up, and tomorrow someone will take you to the front." He didn't linger, leaving shortly after.

Once he was gone, Feng Jiu went to check on Du Fan and the others, who were still resting in the cave. They peppered her with questions. "Master, who is Pill King? Is it alright for us to stay here? Are you really going to acknowledge him as your Master?"

Feng Jiu raised her hand after a series of questions. "This Pill King Valley is isolated from the rest of the world and surrounded by perilous terrain. It will be difficult for us to leave for a while. Because you've been severely injured, your only option is to recover and heal here first."

"What's more, the cultivation strength of the locals here is not to be underestimated. The three people I've met so far are all more powerful than I am. Although they have most likely taken some kind of advancement pill, we must stay here whether we like it or not."

When a few people heard this, they turned silent. Since their Master said so, they wouldn't be able to leave even if they wanted to. In this situation, they could only do one thing at a time. At least for now, it didn't look like Pill King would hurt them.

"Why don't you first take care of your wounds? My cave-dwelling is less than a hundred metres away from yours. You can come to me if you need anything." Feng Jiu instructed them to take a rest first.

"Yes." Several of them replied. They knew that they needed to get better from their injuries before doing anything else.

Feng Jiu went back to her cave-dwelling to rest. She thought today's situation was a little muddled. From her interactions with Pill King, she was sceptical that he wouldn't be able to deduce her intentions, yet he still agreed to accept her as a disciple.

While he may have truly promised to accept her as a disciple, she had a feeling that telling her she could leave after learning everything from him was a lie. She guessed that even if she had learned his skills, he would not be willing to let her leave Pill King Valley and return to the mundane world.

But, for the time being, she would have to take it one step at a time because it was too early in the game to tell.

What she didn't know was that, on that very night, the two middle-aged men who had passed out from drinking the Immortal Wine had awoken and stumbled into Pill King's cave dwelling, where they were reprimanded...

The entire Pill King Valley gathered early the next morning at the valley's largest field to hear the news that Pill King was going to accept a disciple...
