"So, you are saying that because of this reason they are trying to discredit my discovery"
"Yes"
"But why, from what I know every clan has been given a certain quota in the Shackle breaking pill amount. According to what I have learned there are a total of eight clans which had combined with the Academy.
Every clan is given the right over one pill, to decide who to give among their members, so those two elders should have the right over the pills as they were able to enter the council." Knave asked
"That is where the crux of this matter lies, these two old fogies have a large family behind them. As for the selection of the pill, it is given to the most excellent young cultivator who wins in their family competition.
That will happen at the end of the year, but it will most likely not be from their side of the family. Knave you have to know that some clans are also divided into various factions, from what I have heard that those two old fogies that are against you are old friends.
Their factions situation is not so good in their families, because of which this year as well the one to win the pill is likely someone from the opposite faction. That means that if they are not able to get the pill this time they will have to wait for another 5 years.
By that time who knows that if they would be able to win, so they were going to try to buy their way through this time. As I told you that there are 20 pills made each year, and from this 8 are given to the clans.
Of the remaining 12 pills, 10 are given to the top ten outer section disciples at the end of the year tournament next year, as for the last two pills. They are mostly used as a kind of reward given by the academy to their disciple if they can do any good merits in the coming years till the next time of pill refining arrives.
By chance this year you had been able to win yourself those two pills in advance, if you had asked for more than two pills then it would have been hard for me to get you the deal which the council was previously given but by luck, you only asked for two" elder Fryer sighed with relief.
"As you now understand, why they need the pills but you don't understand the urgency of this matter"
"Urgency, what happened!!"
"You don't have the right to know as you have not even entered the second realm, all you need to know is that in the next two years those two elders would be absent from the academy for quite a long time.
And from the information I know there are hardly any strong members of their faction in the Academy. So, if they are gone there is a high chance that their granddaughters would be bullied, you know that fight between disciples is not prohibited as long as you do not kill each other or cripple each other.
Which means that once those two are gone their granddaughters would only have a miserable life ahead of them. It would have been fine if they were not talented and thus knew how to keep a low profile, but these two girls have too much pride in themselves.
As they had always doted on since young and as their talent was also good they had slowly started to become prideful and as such, they had too many enemies in the academy as well as their home.
They might have been able to bide by the problems at home as they were still from one clan so those higher-ups in the clan won't make their life too miserable, but in the academy that was not possible.
Because of their pride, they had made many enemies also these two girls are beautiful so there had many admirers, but once one of their such admirer was caught peeking while they were bathing and as such beaten almost to death.
It was later found out that he was also the grandson of a council elder"
