Once Scorned for My Mixed Spiritual Roots, Now They Weep at My Power! - Chapter 20 - Senior Sister, Don't Stop Me

“It’s a Foundation Establishment Pill!” A disciple from Qingmu Peak immediately recognized the pill.

Yang Xuhao nodded, “Indeed, it’s a Foundation Establishment Pill.”

“He just took the pill and used its power to sneak attack me with a full-force punch, which is why I got injured.”

“I knew it! How could someone with Mixed Spiritual Roots have the strength of a Foundation Establishment punch?”

“So he cheated!”

The disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect suddenly realized the truth.

No wonder this guy could make Senior Brother Yang cough up blood-it was all because of cheating. How despicable!

He used the potent power of the Foundation Establishment Pill to injure Senior Brother Yang.

This guy’s heart is truly malicious.

If it weren’t for Senior Brother Yang’s high cultivation level, that punch might have crippled him!

Xiao Yun couldn’t help but laugh at Yang Xuhao’s wild imagination.

What kind of twisted logic did he use to come up with such an excuse?

“Hey, what’s your deal? Can’t you accept losing?” Xiao Yun spoke up.

“Hmph, is it me who can’t accept losing, or is it you? Using the power of pills to win, that’s so typical of you from Xiaozhu Peak.”

Yang Xuhao slightly exerted force with his fingers, and the Foundation Establishment Pill was instantly crushed into powder.

“Even if I have to destroy this pill, I won’t let you use it for nefarious purposes!” Yang Xuhao said viciously.

Seeing the pill destroyed, Xiao Yun was furious, “Are you out of your mind?”

This was the Foundation Establishment Pill that Senior Sister bought for him with spirit stones, and he hadn’t even used it!

This guy not only snatched the pill but also destroyed it.

Xiao Yun’s anger surged to his head!

“What do you mean?” Yang Xuhao frowned.

Although he didn’t understand Xiao Yun’s words, he sensed it wasn’t anything good.

Xiao Yun glared at Yang Xuhao and shouted, “Figure it out yourself! Senior Sister, don’t stop me. This guy dared to destroy the precious pill you gave me, I’m going to fight him!”

Wen Qing was puzzled.

I didn’t stop you, Junior Brother, what are you talking about?

Hearing Xiao Yun’s determination to fight Yang Xuhao, Wen Qing stepped in to stop him, “Junior Brother, leave this to me! You stand aside.”

“Senior Brother Yang destroyed our pill for no reason. Even if we fight and it reaches the sect master, the sect master will side with us!”

Yang Xuhao, eager to regain his dignity after two setbacks, saw Wen Qing’s intention to fight and welcomed it.

He sneered, “Do you think I’m afraid of you?”

Xiao Yun breathed a sigh of relief and stood silently behind Wen Qing, cheering her on.

“Go, Senior Sister, teach him a lesson!”

Wen Qing, holding her Bamboo Sword, sternly said, “Senior Brother Yang, compensate for my pill, or don’t blame me for being rude!”

Yang Xuhao wasn’t one to back down. With a flick of his wrist, a dark green vine whip appeared in his hand.

“Rude to me? Junior Sister, such bold words. I want to see how capable you are of being rude to me!”

“Want the pill? Defeat my Ghost Vine Whip first!”

The tension between the two sides was palpable, and a fight seemed imminent.

Suddenly, a deep voice echoed, “Who is causing trouble in the Scripture Pavilion?”

The onlookers shivered at the sound, quickly dispersing to pretend they were searching for martial skills books.

Xiao Yun looked towards the voice and saw an Old Man with White Beard slowly approaching. He appeared to be in his sixties or seventies, dressed in a simple gray training outfit, his face full of authority.

Wen Qing immediately sheathed her Bamboo Sword and bowed respectfully, “Disciple Wen Qing greets Uncle-Master Wu!”

Yang Xuhao hurriedly put away his vine whip and greeted, “Disciple Yang Xuhao greets Uncle-Master Wu.”

The Old Man with White Beard scanned the area with piercing eyes, noticing the cracked green bricks on the ground, and asked sternly, “What happened here?”

Yang Xuhao quickly stepped forward to explain, “Uncle-Master Wu, it was a new disciple from Xiaozhu Peak with Mixed Spiritual Roots who used the power of a Foundation Establishment Pill to ambush me, causing the damage to the bricks.”

“Mixed Spiritual Roots?” The Old Man looked at Xiao Yun and asked, “Is he referring to you?”

Xiao Yun, unsure of the old man’s background but seeing his Senior Sister’s respect, quickly explained, “Reporting to Uncle-Master, the Mixed Spiritual Roots he mentioned are indeed mine, but the brick situation isn’t entirely my fault.”

“Oh? Then tell me what happened,” the Old Man asked.

“Disciple had a minor disagreement with Senior Brother Yang, and we made a bet. If he could withstand one punch from me, our issues would be resolved.”

“However, Senior Brother Yang couldn’t withstand it, and I accidentally exerted too much force, which led to the bricks being damaged.”

The Old Man glared at Yang Xuhao, “Useless! You couldn’t even take a punch from a disciple with Mixed Spiritual Roots! What has your father been teaching you?”

Yang Xuhao hurriedly explained, “It was because he used the power of the Foundation Establishment Pill to ambush me, and I didn’t use any techniques, only relying on my body to defend…”

Before Yang Xuhao could finish, the Old Man interrupted with a cold snort!

“Hmph, a loss is a loss. Why make so many excuses? As the chief senior disciple of Qingmu Peak, losing to a disciple with Mixed Spiritual Roots and then making excuses is disgraceful. I feel embarrassed for your father.”

Yang Xuhao, despite his dissatisfaction, could only nod and say, “Uncle-Master Wu’s lesson is right; it was my carelessness!”

The Old Man continued, “For such a trivial matter, you were about to fight in the Scripture Pavilion?”

Wen Qing explained, “Uncle-Master Wu, it’s like this. Senior Brother Yang lost to Junior Brother Xiao and was unwilling to accept it, falsely accusing him of using a Pill to win, forcibly taking the Pill I gave to my Junior Brother and destroying it.”

“I asked Senior Brother Yang for compensation, but he refused, leaving me no choice but to act.”

The Old Man glared at Yang Xuhao again, “Why destroy someone else’s Pill?”

Yang Xuhao’s face changed upon hearing Wen Qing’s words; he realized he had lost his justification and hurriedly explained, “Uncle-Master Wu, don’t listen to her. That’s not how it happened.”

Yang Xuhao repeated his earlier distorted version of events, concluding, “I saw Junior Sister Wen Qing indulging her Junior Brother in wasting Pills, not stopping him but letting him act recklessly, so I intervened.”

“That’s not true, Uncle-Master Wu. Here’s what really happened,” Wen Qing explained again from her perspective.

The Old Man listened quietly, and after hearing both sides, he looked at Xiao Yun with a stern expression.

“Come here.”

Seeing his Senior Sister standing obediently, Xiao Yun knew he couldn’t defy the old man’s request and walked over.

The Old Man took Xiao Yun’s wrist, and a thick earth spiritual power flowed into Xiao Yun’s body. After a moment of examination, the old man showed a puzzled expression.

He released Xiao Yun and pointed to the Spirit Testing Stone nearby, “Punch the Spirit Testing Stone with all your might. If it reaches the Seventh Layer of Qi Refining or higher, I’ll settle this matter for you!”

Xiao Yun nodded in agreement, “Yes.”

Wen Qing’s face changed. Junior Brother Xiao had only cultivated for a day; how could he possibly reach the Seventh Layer of Qi Refining? Uncle-Master Wu was usually fair; why would he favor Senior Brother Yang today?

Yang Xuhao’s lips curled into a slight smile, his heart sneering. The Seventh Layer of Qi Refining? Without the Pill’s power, reaching the second layer would be a miracle! It seemed Uncle-Master Wu was deliberately helping him out of respect for his father.
