System Journey to Godhood - Chapter 129

“You wanted to say that she was the one who made all those pills? The Golden Core Congealing Pill is an Earth-rank pill that only a Grandmaster Alchemy could produce, and you suppose I’ll believe it?”

No matter how excellent his ability to conceal his emotions, this time Elder Xian couldn’t stop his expression from changing.

“You can ask Grand Alchemist Chen Xi later if you don’t believe me. After all, he was there when Snowy refined them. I suppose you know that he won’t lie when it comes to alchemy, don’t you?” replied Elder Yang indifferently.

“….”

Who had never heard of Grand Alchemist Chen Xi? Although he wasn’t the only one dubbed as the Alchemy Grandmaster, he surely was the most famous for his obsession with alchemy.

If Snowy was acknowledged by him, then what the First Elder said was most likely the truth.

How shocking!

“What she is an alchemist grandmaster?!”

“She is already a sword grandmaster, and now she is also an alchemist grandmaster?!”

“What the hell is she? A novel’s protagonist? How can such an unreasonable person exist?”

The crowd turned into an uproar. Due to the mind-blowing bombshell dropped by First Elder, they didn’t hide their voices anymore.

In their eyes, Snowy’s image had changed once again. They now treat her as their unparallel goddess in their hearts. How many other youngsters in the Eastern Region reached Grandmaster level in more than two specialties?

None, null, zero.

Even the core disciple might not dare to complain if she was directly appointed as an elder.

‘Damn it! Damn it! How could it be!’ Xian Qingruo looked at Snowy like she was a monster. And she had been provoking such a monster! She was now falling into hysteria. Her world was slowly but surely crumbling down.

Why doesn’t she admit defeat and stop being a thorn in Snowy’s side? Not possible! Her already feeble pride and ugly jealousy didn’t allow her to do so!

“What nonsense! You must be lying! There’s no way my cousin will use something that dangerous when it’s just a sparring match between disciples!”

“How could you be so vicious… you can’t prove your innocence, so you shift the blame to the death, as the death can’t speak for himself!”

Xian Qingruo spoke hysterically, so loudly she was practically yelling at Snowy.

“Who said the dead can’t speak?”

Snowy stared at Qingruo coldly, then she walked towards Xian Bu Yu’s corpse and Xian Qingruo, who was kneeling beside him.

No one knew what she wanted to do and her actions alerted the members of the Law and Punishment Hall who followed Elder Xian, including Luo Ruan. They were about to block her, but suddenly heavy pressure came down on their bodies, keeping them rooted in place.

It was the action of the First Elder, who was basically saying, “If you want to mess around, you should ask for my permission first.”

The Second Elder wanted to take action but hesitated because the sudden revealing of Snowy’s status as Alchemy Grandmaster was practically forcing him to change the way he dealt with her.

After all, offending an Alchemist Grand Master was akin to offending a mighty force as powerful as the Heaven Sect Sword itself.

If he still ignorantly threatened her in the open, it means there was something wrong with his head!

After all, a wise man knows when to advance and when to retreat. It wasn’t shameful to back off for a while when facing a formidable enemy.

In his eyes right now, Snowy was bigger trouble than anyone in Sect Master’s camp, and he should move forward carefully.

He looked at Xian Qingruo as if she was a moron. He felt slightly disappointed that she couldn’t even keep her emotions in check despite all the time she spent beside him; didn’t she learn one or two things from the way he handled things?

“You… what are you trying to do?!”

Xian Qingruo was scared out of her mind when she saw Snowy slowly walking over to her. She could feel her underwear turning slightly damp and a pungent and sour smell coming from below.

But contrary to her assumption, Snowy didn’t even put her in her eyes and just walked past her, and after she reached Xian Bu Yu’s corpse, she crouched down, drew some blood from his body, and put it on a jade bottle.

“Since the Blood Fury pill has an extremely strong medicinal property, there must’ve been some residual in his blood that has yet to be ingested by his metabolism. You can feed it to a weak spirit beast to test whether it shows the same symptom or not.”

“The residue might dissipate in less than an hour, so you must act fast.”

She handed the bottle to Elder Yang and then strutted to Feng Xue’s side.

“Are you okay, Snowy?” asked Feng Xue with a tone full of worries.

“Don’t worry, Xue. I’m okay. Nothing can hurt me.”

“Hmm. I might sound like a broken record, but don’t be reckless in the future, okay?”

“Thank you, Xue.”

“Hmph. You can’t keep your words, I must always be on your side so I can keep an eye on you.”

“That’s good too,” Snowy said, slightly happy.

Meanwhile, Elder Yang quickly gave a command to one of the elders there.

“Fetch one of the Qi Refining Spirit Beasts from the training ground here. We will immediately know whether Snowy was telling the truth or not.”

“Yes, First Elder!”

Not long after, the elder returned with a Qi Gathering stage beast and fed the extracted blood to the beast, according to First Elder’s instruction.

And soon, the spirit beast’s aura became violent and its power increased until it reached the Golden Core stage. The elder was suddenly yanked by the spirit beast, and because he didn’t expect that it was actually working, he was nearly dragged down by the spirit beast.

Luckily, First Elder had already predicted this to happen and quickly took the least on the elder’s hand and restrained the beast. In less than a minute, the spirit beast wore down and fell lifelessly to the ground. Its body slightly shrank, just like what happened to Xian Bu Yu.

All the people present were shocked beyond words.

“This….”

“As Snowy had predicted, Xian Bu Yu’s blood contained a trace of Blood Fury pill…”

“So it’s all true.”

“Xian Bu Yu used such a horrifying means. What a ruthless guy…”

At this point, the table had turned to Snowy’s advantage without a chance to turn it back without flipping the chessboard. But did the Second Elder do it?

“Are you satisfied, Second Elder?” asked the First Elder calmly.

Second Elder hesitated for a moment and eventually sighed deeply. He cupped his hand and bowed slightly to First Elder. In this way, he didn’t need to lose face by apologizing to a junior.

“It was due to my negligence that Bu Yu had been bewitched by an evil person. I think this matter is more serious than we think, so let’s put the case down for now and we’ll discuss it with the Sect Master and other elders later.” He quickly put Xian Bu Yu’s body in his spatial ring, grabbed Xian Qingruo’s hand, and hurriedly turned back to leave the stage, “I’ll excuse myself first to settle Bu Yu’s funeral ceremony.”

But before he could escape, Snowy said with a cold tone.

“Wait a minute.”
