Chapter 14 Ye Chen Collapses! Might as Well Not Have This Damned Ring! (3rd Update)_1

In the end, Daoist Yuan Yi, the chairman of Tiandang Peak, saved Ye Chen and had a conversation with him. He seemed very interested in him.

Lin Xiao watched on, flooded with mixed feelings.

He never would have expected these two to intersect in any way,

One being a boss from the early stages, and the other being the main protagonist!

The plot had deviated, but not entirely!

After all, as long as Ye Chen stayed, the story could continue!

After a lengthy and tedious Immortal Sect's initiation ceremony,

The ceremony to accept disciples officially began.

In his free time, Lin Xiao looked around but surprisingly did not find Third Junior Sister Chu Youwei and Fourth Junior Sister Lu Yingying!

That seemed really strange.

In the original plot, Master Xiao Hongling indeed made her appearance last, but these three junior sisters should've been there in the scene!

As witnesses to his disgraceful failure that was about to happen!

"No matter, let's stick to the original plot," Lin Xiao gazed into the distance.

Ye Chen was seen seated cross-legged motionless, much like a monk in deep meditation.

Completely ignoring the people's murmuring and gaze around him.

"Eldest Senior Brother, I'm here!"

At this moment, a simple-looking young man stepped forward.

"Oh, Huaizhen, I've been waiting for you," said Lin Xiao as he waved his hand.

"Eldest Senior Brother, what can I do for you?" The young man cheerfully stepped forward.

This junior brother, though a little dim-witted, was Lin Xiao's most devout follower and errand boy in the original plot.

He helped Lin Xiao take the blame for many things.

Even in the middle of the story, after Lin Xiao ended himself at Fairy Cliff, this junior brother tried to attack Ye Chen to avenge him. As one could guess, he was crushed in a single palms strike by the protagonist and died.

"Huaizhen, see the teenager dressed in black at the back of the crowd?"

Lin Xiao pointed to the meditating Ye Chen in the distance: "He's a distant cousin of mine. He's about to undergo a talent test, and I plan to help him out, as any family member would."

As he spoke, he took out a purple-black pill.

That's right, it was none other than the Seven Absolute Pill, the staple of the Cultivation World for travels, murder, and capturing prey!

"Well, it's called the 'Nine Refinement Golden Elixir', a major supplement! It can temporarily enhance your constitution!"

"Give this pill to my cousin. But don't tell him I gave it to you, say it's given by the Elders, a benefit for all. I'm afraid my cousin might get too emotional and perform poorly if he knew."

"Do you understand?"

Having heard these words, Huaizhen was moved to tears: "Eldest Senior Brother, you really are the kindest senior in the world!"

"All right, go on then, get him to take it while it's still warm," Lin Xiao waved him off.

"Yes!"

After Huaizhen had left, Lin Xiao let out a long sigh of relief.

Luckily the character setting of Junior Brother Huaizhen hasn't been violated.

Scapegoat hero,

that's so commendable.

However, according to the novel plot, Ye Chen, being a sixth-grade Elixir Master, will easily notice something off about the pill. As a result, he would expose the plot before True Master Ziyun.

Then, the resentful Second Junior Sister would step forward, pointing fingers at him leaving the crowd in an uproar!

The second round of embarrassment will be then completed!

"Yurong, I hope you won't let your Senior Brother down again," Lin Xiao looked at the pensive Second Junior Sister in the distance, he could not help but sigh in his heart...

So big~

....

Meanwhile, Huaizhen, who held the Seven Absolute Pill, arrived at the black-clothed boy in high spirits.

"Young Master, oh no... Whoa, this is a supplement pill prepared by our Elixir Refinery's Elders for the young talents attending today, to help everybody perform at their best."

"It's called the 'Nine Refinement Golden Elixir'. It has the effect of enhancing constitution. Please accept it graciously and take it while it's still warm!"

After Huaizhen finished his sentence, he forcibly stuffed the Seven Absolute Pill into the teenager's hand.

"Hm?"

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow as if he had discovered something.

"Alright, thank you for your sect elders' kindness, I accept it," he said calmly.

"Great! Good luck!"

Huaizhen gave him a kindly smile, then ran back to report.

"Little rascal, you've noticed too, haven't you? There's something unusual about this pill~"

The young man was staring at the pill in his hand, and a voice came from his ring again.

"Yes, if this prince is not wrong, this pill is known as the Seven Absolute Pill. It specifically targets martial artists entering the realm, manipulating the qi in their bodies, and destroying their meridians." Ye Chen said calmly.

"Tsk, tsk, such promising young talent. The old man indeed didn't misjudge you. So, what are you going to do next?" Old Shi in the ring asked, extremely interested.

"You should be asking who gave this poison and what their purpose is," Ye Chen said coldly.

"Ah...Could it be you already know who is behind this?" Old Shi asked, surprised.

"Isn't it obvious?"

Ye Chen gave a cold laugh, saying no more but lifting his eyes. Sure enough, there was the Eldest Senior Brother of Divine Phoenix Peak staring at him.

A malicious smile hung at the corner of his mouth that didn't match his handsome face.

"Heh, what a joke. This prince wonders if you'd like to simply hang a sentence on your face clearly stating 'I am the villain behind the scenes'!"

Ye Chen's heart filled with disdain. Suddenly, a spark of an idea flashed in his mind.

An idea was born!

"Yes! Old Shi! Why don't we turn the tables on them!"

Ye Chen suddenly exclaimed excitedly.

"Young friend, what do you mean?"

"Old Shi, didn't you tell me before that the 'Purple Rosy-Clouds Elixir Art' you taught me could detoxify all poisons in the world below Fifth Grade, right?"

"Um, of course!"

"So, what grade is this Seven Absolute Pill?"

"Barely Fifth Grade."

Old Shi said, but then seemingly realizing something, "Could you be planning to..."

"Of course! No pain, no gain! Qinglan Sect has always been strict with its rules, so I plan to play the part of the victim to get the attention of the chairmanship, and then make this disgusting Immortal Stick pay the price!"

A winner's smile spread over Ye Chen's face.

"Wait a moment, young friend! This isn't a normal Seven Absolute pill!

Old Shi suddenly exclaimed in alarm, seeming to have sensed something.

But it was one step too late.

Without hesitation, Ye Chen swallowed the Seven Absolute Pill.

"Lin Xiao, prepare to die! Hahaha...."

Following a burst of laughter.

Gulp~~~

The pill had made its way to his stomach.

Ye Chen felt turmoil in his stomach, and his limbs began to convulse uncontrollably!

To control the poisoning, Ye Chen hurriedly started internal work according to the "Purple Rosy-Clouds Elixir Art", planning to complain to the chairmanship on the high platform and kill with a borrowed knife!

Whoosh!

A purple aura emerged from around his body!

However, after only one second, the purple aura around him faded away!

Unable to bear the inverse burn of the qi in his body anymore, his face twisted horribly!

The next moment, blood simultaneously seeped from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose!

"There is a problem with this poisonous pill!"

Ye Chen forcibly mustered a low roar from his hoarse throat.

"Of course it has a problem. This... this Seven Absolute pill was refined by a Third Grade pill master, the grade is probably Third Grade as well, sigh~~"

Old Shi's sigh emanated from the ring.

Ye Chen was utterly furious!

"You... why didn't you say so earlier?! I didn't even want this stupid ring!"

With that, he ripped off the ring and smashed it on the ground.

"Eldest Senior Brother, we've succeeded! You don't have to worry about being harmed by this guy anymore!"

Under a distant Chinese parasol tree, a beautiful girl in a red dress revealed a satisfied smile.

...

...

Meanwhile.

On the other side, at the seats for the high-ranking disciples, a young man's heart was completely shattered!

"Oh my God!"

"What on earth is he doing?"

"Did something go wrong with his brain? According to the original plot, shouldn't he have discovered that this pill is the Seven Absolute Pill?"

"He just swallowed it?"

Lin Xiao watched with blank eyes, a wave of chills going down his spine!

Even being a villain these days…

Really sucks!
