"Damn it…"
Long after Mu Jinyu and the others had entered the auction house.
The young prodigies of Dan Pavilion finally recovered their composure, scrambled up from the ground, and cursed incoherently in rage.
Their fury was so explosive that the guard at the door didn't doubt for a second that if Mu Jinyu had still been there, they probably would have devoured him alive!
"Old Wei, where did that guy go?!"
A toothless young girl asked Old Man Wei, her speech unclear.
It took Old Man Wei a long time to understand what she was saying.
He couldn't help but chuckle inwardly; Mu Jinyu was truly merciless, not sparing the beauty of this pretty young girl, striking as soon as he moved, and knocking out all her teeth.
Thinking thus, he sighed and said, "They went inside."
"What?" The toothless girl instantly became furious and spoke to Old Man Wei with less courtesy, "Old Wei, why didn't you stop them? It infuriates me!"
Old Man Wei didn't take it personally, knowing that her drastically altered appearance and shattered mentality inevitably affected how she spoke, and sighed, "I'm even weaker than you guys, how could I stop them?"
Upon hearing this, the girl's anger faltered, realizing that it truly was the case.
Unlike them, Old Man Wei was a pharmacist who specialized in medicine refining and alchemy; his strength was only at the Great Achievement in Dark Energy.
If even they couldn't stop Mu Jinyu, how could they expect anything from this frail old man?
"Damn it, that rotten son of a bitch, daring to ambush us. If I don't flay his skin, I won't bear the surname Chu anymore!"
The young man, who had received two heavy slaps, rose from the ground and cursed furiously.
Then, Chu Xuan let out a shout and prepared to lead people inside to settle accounts with Mu Jinyu.
From beginning to end, he believed that their continuous setbacks and their miserable state were solely because Mu Jinyu had ambushed them unnoticed, and thus they fell into his trap.
Seeing this, Old Man Wei quickly advised, "I advise you not to go after him."
"Old Man Wei, what do you mean by that?"
Upon hearing Wei's words, Chu Xuan paused, turning back to look at Old Man Wei with a fierce gaze.
He suspected, they all got ambushed and beaten by Mu Jinyu, so why was this old man unharmed?
Could it be that this old man secretly collaborated with people from the Medicine Alliance?
Old Man Wei sighed, "Don't underestimate him. With your abilities at the Early Energy Transformation Stage up to your Complete Energy Transformation Stage, Chu Xuan, even for someone at the Peak Energy Transformation Stage, it would not be easy to beat you into such a state…"
The furiously shaking Chu Xuan, hearing Old Man Wei, suddenly changed his expression and finally managed to analyze the situation rationally, "Are you saying that little bastard... has already reached the Divine Realm in cultivation?!"
"If I'm not mistaken, that should be the case. Even if not, he's definitely at the Half-Step Divine Realm!"
Old Man Wei sighed, "Moreover, being in Jiangnan Province, they are the local tycoons here. Although our Dan Pavilion is like a dragon crossing the river, without those few seniors here, I'm afraid the new master found by their Medicine Alliance might not even take us seriously!"
"I understand."
After his expression changed several times, Chu Xuan darkened his face, took out his mobile phone, and called the in-charge at Dan Pavilion!
Originally, they at Dan Pavilion didn't think this matter was significant; with their involvement in alchemy and the Alchemy Furnace, it should have been easily handled.
Even if the Dragon King Hall knew about this, knowing that their Dan Pavilion had always struggled in pill production, they wouldn't say much and might even help them, joining hands to deal with the Luo Family.
After all, if they succeeded in producing elixirs, even the Dragon King Hall would seek their blessings with elixirs in the future!
But they didn't expect that, halfway through, the Medicine Alliance, whom they had never regarded highly, would appear!
…
As Mu Jinyu walked into the auction house, he had no idea that the people from Dan Pavilion had already gone to contact the new Divine Realm experts of their pavilion, to come and deal with him!
Even if he had known, Mu Jinyu wouldn't have cared.
"Just a bunch of clowns."
Although he did not know how exactly the Divine Realm was divided in terms of strength, he knew he was about to reach the middle stage of the Divine Realm, which was far beyond what those at the early stage of the Divine Realm or those newly achieved could challenge!
"Master, you were a bit impulsive just now. After all, they are from the Dan Pavilion, and there is a Divine Ranking powerhouse backing them..."
Yao Liangbi, while leading Mu Jinyu to the auction, spoke with a hint of worry.
"So what? You are my subordinate. Anyone who dares to insult you insults me. I was already being very polite by not killing them," Mu Jinyu said nonchalantly.
He was already aware of the strongest behind the Dan Pavilion, that Divine Ranking powerhouse who was actually ranked at the very bottom.
As for Ye Wushuang and those above him, Mu Jinyu would still feel some pressure, but for these stragglers, he did not think that the opponent would be stronger than himself!
Hearing Mu Jinyu's words, Yao Liangbi, who had always been somewhat resentful about becoming his servant, suddenly felt a surge of emotion.
In their Medicine Alliance, even though he was the Vice Alliance Hierarch, the Alliance Hierarch never treated him like Mu Jinyu did.
Whenever something went wrong, the Alliance Hierarch would shift the blame onto him, letting him, the Vice Alliance Hierarch, take the fall!
Because of this, he had bowed and apologized several times, offering treasures as compensation!
He had almost lost his life several times!
Had it not been for some heirlooms in their Yao Family, he guessed he wouldn't have survived till now.
Yao Liangbi also wanted to leave the Medicine Alliance, but due to being under others' control, he had never been able to leave.
Now, by Mu Jinyu's side, he felt a warmth he had not felt in a long time.
Even though he was nominally Mu Jinyu's servant, Mu Jinyu did not actually treat him as one.
"Thank you, Master!"
Yao Liangbi choked up, tears flowing from his cloudy old eyes.
"Thank you, Master, for standing up for us!"
Yao Bilian also followed suit.
She had been beaten by Mu Jinyu until all her teeth were knocked out, but half a month had passed, and her teeth had naturally been fixed by now.
At this moment, most of her resentment towards Mu Jinyu had dissipated!
"Hmm."
Mu Jinyu looked at them, feeling they were a bit strange, and not knowing what to say, he simply nodded slightly and said no more.
Yao Liangbi wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes and led Mu Jinyu to the banquet hall where the auction was being held!
They had just found a place to sit down.
A middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties or fifties came over, looking at Mu Jinyu and Yao Liangbi with puzzled eyes. "Old Yao, you're here too?"
"Alliance Hierarch, I... I brought a friend to have a look..."
Upon hearing the voice, Yao Liangbi looked up and saw that it was Fu Qiuyu, the Alliance Hierarch of their Medicine Alliance. He explained nervously.
While explaining, he cautiously looked at Mu Jinyu, fearing that by calling Mu Jinyu a friend and not admitting he was his servant, he would anger Mu Jinyu and suffer on the spot!
However, Mu Jinyu had no reaction, which relieved him.
Still, in front of an acquaintance, Yao Liangbi could not openly state he had become someone else's servant.
Fu Qiuyu, hearing this, glanced at Mu Jinyu and muttered, "Brought a friend over?"
If he hadn't seen wrong, Yao Liangbi's reverential attitude towards Mu Jinyu was not the way one treated a friend!
That's not how one makes friends irrespective of age!
Still, Fu Qiuyu was too lazy to think about these things and frowned at Yao Liangbi, "You better leave quickly. The auction is about to start, don't mess up later and involve our Medicine Alliance!"
