"Reporting to the Sect Master, Elder Ge Cheng of the Earth Pill Hall requests an audience!"

Yun Aotian sneered, "You've come at just the right time!"

"Please invite Elder Ge Cheng of the Di Dan Hall into the hall!"

Soon, Ge Cheng entered the main hall, followed by his six true disciples!

The first wronged person is Ling Changfeng, the second wronged person is Sun Yiming, the third wronged person is Lu Liuyun, the fourth wronged person is Ding Wei, the fifth wronged person is Cheng Ming, and Luo Zhicha.

Seeing Ge Cheng's grand gesture, Yun Aotian couldn't help but find it amusing.

"Elder Ge Cheng, it's been many days. Your cultivation has truly improved. Now, even I, the sect master, can hardly see through your soul power!"

Ge Cheng snorted, which was taken as an admission of Yun Aotian's praise.

"Sect Master is too kind. As someone in this position, I dare not slacken my cultivation day and night!"

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Ge Cheng finally revealed his purpose with a cold face.

"Sect Master! I have come here today for the sake of my traitorous disciple, Su Li!"

Su Li's lips curled slightly, revealing a faint smile!

"Master Ge, aren't your rebellious disciples all behind you?"

Now you want to be my mentor, Su Li? Sorry, I refuse!

Ge Cheng: "You... Hmph, what a quick tongue!!!"

Yun Aotian's eyes were full of surprise, and he looked very interested.

"Oh? I heard that Su Li was originally a disciple of the Earth Pill Hall? Elder Ge Cheng, what brings you here today...?"

Ge Cheng turned to look at Su Li, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, his gaze sharp as if he wanted to see right through Su Li.

Before he could even speak, the powerful soul pressure arrived, and Su Li, caught completely off guard, was forced to retreat three or four steps before finally stopping.

Chen Fengzi, who was outside the main hall, sensed something was amiss and rushed in without a second thought, flashing to Su Li's side.

"Bang!!"

The next second, the powerful soul pressure was completely blocked by Chen Fengzi, and he was sent flying backward, his body sliding more than ten meters away along the ground.

He clutched his chest and it took him a long time to get up.

Su Li clenched her fist; she would remember this debt!

Actually, she was quite disappointed; she wanted to test whether she could withstand an attack from a Golden Core cultivator.

"What is Elder Ge Cheng doing? Does he intend to injure someone in public?"

Ge Cheng snorted coldly.

"Su Li! Don't blame me for meddling. I just wanted to test your abilities!"

Su Li gritted his teeth. This Ge Cheng, even now, still acts like a hypocrite, which is truly disgusting.

"I am but a lowly disciple of Huangdan Hall, yet I am worthy of being tested by Hall Master Ge Cheng... How honored I am..."

When Ling Changfeng and the others saw Su Li speaking to Ge Cheng in such a sarcastic tone, they couldn't help but frown.

"Ge Cheng, what are you doing? I, the sect master, am still here. If you have something to say, then speak properly!"

There was a hint of anger in Yun Aotian's words; this Ge Cheng really didn't take him seriously.

Ge Cheng seemed to only then realize that he was in the sect's main hall.

"Sect Master, please don't be offended. I just have many doubts in my heart! Su Li was my disciple for several years."

I know her alchemy skills better than anyone! Today I'd like to ask why she seems like a completely different person as soon as she arrives at Huangdan Hall!

Even the foundation-building elixir formula passed down from our ancestors for decades has been modified in such a fluid and seamless way.

Now, he has even created the Three Yin Returning Soul Pill, a pill that no one has ever heard of before, and it even saved the life of Sect Leader Gao!

Isn't all of this just too much of a coincidence...?

Yun Aotian remained silent, and even the Third Elder Qiu Ye couldn't help but nod. There were indeed many suspicious points about Su Li...

"Ah!"

Su Li couldn't help but chuckle softly.

The girl's face was radiant, and although her smile might not be considered breathtakingly beautiful, it was still refreshing and delightful.

But to Ge Cheng, that smile was nothing short of provocation and mockery.

He couldn't help but question in a calm voice.

"I don't know what I said that you find so laughable???"

Su Li glanced at everyone in the hall; Chen Fengzi was already standing protectively beside her, holding his knife.

Qiu Ye and Yun Aotian looked on with expressions of anticipation, as if they were watching a good show!

Her former senior brothers looked on with an air of accusation, indicating that she couldn't escape this trap today!

If you can't avoid it, then there's no need to avoid it!

Even though Su Li's cultivation level was low, she didn't believe that, based on her actions these days, that dog sect leader who had been watching the show would be willing to give up her life.

Knowing I won't die today, what is there to fear?!

"Elder Ge Cheng, I must say I cannot agree with your words!"

I, Su Li, have been with the Di Dan Hall for four years and seven months! Elder Ge Cheng, do you know what I do every day?

Have they ever shown any concern for my spiritual practice? Have they ever offered me guidance in alchemy?

Ge Cheng snorted coldly!

"Sects have their own rules, and our Earth Pill Hall has its own rules!"

"Do I really need to check what each disciple does every day?"

Upon hearing Ge Cheng's words, Su Li couldn't help but feel his hands trembling slightly under his sleeves.

"Since you don't know, then I'll tell you today!"

I need to tend to seven medicinal herb fields every day!

The spirit stones needed for the No. 1 medicinal field were obtained by selling the pills I refined to independent cultivators in nearby towns!

Before Su Li could continue, Ge Cheng suddenly spoke up!

"Impossible! Our Earth Pill Hall receives the most pill refining tasks from sects. Although the spirit stones of the Earth Pill Hall cannot compare with those of the Heaven Pill Hall."

But they're so poor that they need a third-grade alchemist like you to sell medicine for spirit stones!

Su Li looked at Ling Changfeng, whose expression had become somewhat unnatural, behind Ge Cheng.

"Senior Brother Changfeng, do you want to talk to Hall Master Ge about how many spirit stones the Earth Pill Hall has right now?"

Ge Cheng turned to look at Ling Changfeng, his eyes showing no doubt whatsoever! He knew the spirit stones of the Earth Pill Hall best.

It's no exaggeration to say that even half a sect couldn't compare.

"Master...the spirit stones in the hall...are indeed running low..."

After saying this, Ling Changfeng wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground. He really didn't know why his junior sister insisted on urging their master to come here to confront Su Li.

Isn't this a slap in the face for the Earth Pill Hall in front of the sect leader?

Luo Zhirou looked at Ling Changfeng in disbelief; she had never cared about spirit stones before!

Luo Zhirou spoke without hesitation.

"How...how is this possible???"

Ge Cheng also didn't believe it would be like this.

"That's impossible! Changfeng, what did you mean by that? What do you mean there aren't many spirit stones left in the hall???"

Ling Changfeng didn't want to talk about it, but Ge Cheng wouldn't let him off the hook and insisted on getting him to explain.

He had no choice but to produce an account book in full view of everyone!

The ledger contained the records of his five good disciples who had borrowed spirit stones from the hall over the years and had not yet repaid them...

Ge Cheng's face turned from green to purple, then from purple to green again; he truly wished he could tear these beasts apart alive.

They've borrowed a staggering seven million spirit stones over the years!

Ding Wei and Cheng Ming exchanged a glance and couldn't help but lower their heads.

You can't blame them for that; alchemy is the most expensive profession!

Did they acquire their alchemy skills out of thin air? Did they achieve their current results only after countless failures?

The sect didn't provide many spirit stones to begin with, and in order not to waste time, they rarely went out to take on missions.

If we don't use the spirit stones in the account, can they just magically appear out of thin air?

Seeing Ge Cheng's sour face, Su Li felt a secret sense of satisfaction.

"Elder Ge! I didn't want to bring up the past! But since Elder Ge Cheng is determined to settle things with me today..."

Then please, Elder Ge Cheng, return the spirit stones I advanced for the No. 1 medicinal field of the Earth Elixir Hall!
