My path to immortality was smooth sailing.
Chapter 52 The Hall of Enforcement, Chu Feibai
Wei Jing stood up, brushed the dust off his clothes, and then obediently withdrew.
Tenth place in the inner sect is a pretty good result.
Wei Jing was overjoyed. It seemed that the inner disciples of the sect weren't very strong after all!
Wei Jing was initially a little apprehensive, still holding onto a biased view of the inner disciples of the Qingfu Sect. However, he never expected that he would be able to rank among the top ten in just two months since joining the inner sect.
"This name is good. It's right at the very end, so we can get a magical artifact." Wei Jing was very happy. Suddenly, his eyes met Lin Zhaobei's.
The man's eyes were filled with intense resentment.
"I want to report this!"
Lin Zhaobei shouted, and the scene immediately fell silent as everyone's eyes turned to him.
not good!
Wei Jing's heart sank. With Lin Zhaobei's shout, his heart sank to the bottom.
Sure enough, the next moment Lin Zhaobei stepped forward, pointed at Wei Jing, and shouted:
"I am reporting Wei Jing for consuming the Seven-Scarred Spirit-Exploding Pill, a top-grade first-tier pill that is a popular and expensive pill in the Nine Yang Pill Cauldron Sect, and is extremely rare."
"Wei Jing has only been a disciple for two months, how could he possibly be among the top ten of the inner sect?"
As soon as Lin Zhaobei finished speaking, Wei Jing instantly became the target of everyone's criticism.
Wei Jing's face was gloomy. He spoke up to defend himself, "Three days ago, this person recommended the Seven Griefs Bursting Spirit Pill to me, but I flatly refused."
"I did not cheat."
"No?" Lin Zhaobei sneered, stepped out of the crowd, and stood in front of Wei Jing.
"Since you dare to do it but not admit it, could you allow the elders of the Enforcement Hall to examine your spiritual power and see if there is any residual medicinal power of the Seven-Scarred Spirit-Exploding Pill in your body?"
Wei Jing looked at him and suddenly felt a great weight lifted from his heart.
So that's how they check things? This attempt to frame someone is so poor.
He knows in his heart whether he cheated or not.
"Lord Peng, if I did not cheat, and this person has framed me and ruined my reputation, what punishment should be given?" Wei Jing bowed and asked Peng Jinhu, who was seated above him.
Wei Jing's voice wasn't loud, but it was resounding, like a stone thrown into a calm lake.
The crowd was in an uproar, never expecting Wei Jing to be so courageous.
Peng Jinhu, the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall, is a Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator and one of the most powerful figures among the five halls and seven departments of the Qingfu Sect.
"He falsely accused an inner disciple. According to the sect rules, his inner disciple status shall be revoked." Peng Jinhu's voice was hoarse and deep. As soon as he said this, the crowd erupted in uproar and discussion.
"Hehe! I didn't expect this year's inner sect assessment to be such a show."
"I'm just sitting in the front row watching this! But Wei Jing has only been a disciple for two months, and he's already in the top ten of the inner sect? That's too unbelievable. He must be cheating."
"Gentlemen, while you're enjoying the show, let me ask you a question: even if you took the Seven-Scarring Spirit-Exploding Pill, could you even reach the sixth level?"
"That was such a vulgar insult!"
There was a lot of discussion around them, with the outer disciples pointing and whispering about Wei Jing and Lin Zhaobei.
At this moment, Yang Qingxuan raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.
"I'm here to ask you, is it true that you promoted the Seven Griefs Bursting Spirit Pill to Wei Jing?"
Lin Zhaobei lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and said in a choked voice, "That's right, I'm the one who sold him the Seven-Sorrow Explosion Spirit Pill."
"Whoa!"
Lin Zhaobei's self-disclosure immediately ignited public opinion.
Peng Jinhu gave a wink to an elder from the Enforcement Hall, who nodded slightly and stepped out from the crowd. Instantly, everyone's attention was drawn to this elder.
"Wei Jing, the innocent are innocent. Let Junior Sister Ziyan examine your spiritual power."
"Alright!" Wei Jing replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
He did not cheat, so he was not afraid of being checked.
Luo Ziyan stepped forward and placed his hand on Wei Jing's wrist.
Instantly, a cold and domineering spiritual power surged into Wei Jing's body like water bursting its banks.
Wei Jing gritted his teeth, his face slightly pale, but he did not resist, struggle, or even use his internal energy to resist.
He knew that his resistance was futile against a Foundation Establishment cultivator. All he could do was relax and let the domineering spiritual energy flow through his body.
Time passed little by little.
The Meteorite Valley was very quiet; everyone was waiting for a result.
Lin Zhaobei's gaze barely touched a middle-aged, gaunt man. The man, dressed in the black robe of an elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, stood in a corner, coldly watching the farce unfold.
"Reporting to the Palace Master, there are no traces of pills remaining in Wei Jing's body. His spiritual energy is pure, his foundation is solid, his meridians show no obvious signs of expansion, and there are no signs of external interference in his dantian. There has been no cheating whatsoever."
Elder Luo's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone present, like a cold iron hammer that shattered Lin Zhaobei's last hope.
He didn't eat it; he really didn't eat it.
Although Lin Zhaobei was forcibly driven away by Wei Jing back then, he secretly dropped two Seven-Sorrow Explosion Spirit Pills when he passed by Wei Jing's cave courtyard.
When he saw that Wei Jing was ranked tenth, he was overjoyed and thought that Wei Jing had secretly taken the Seven-Sorrow Explosion Pill.
Therefore, he stood up with righteous indignation to expose and report the crime.
"He didn't take any special pills, so he got into the top ten of the inner sect through his own strength?" After figuring out the key point, Lin Zhaobei felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
What kind of person did he offend?!
Lin Zhaobei was filled with regret, realizing he had suffered a huge loss.
"Lin Zhaobei, what else do you have to say?" Yang Qingxuan gave him a deep look, and Lin Zhaobei trembled with fear at just one glance.
"I...I..."
Just as Lin Zhaobei was at a loss, a man in black robes stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said to Peng Jinhu:
"Palace Master Peng, I heard that if a perfect-grade Seven-Sorrow Bursting Spirit Pill is taken, there will be no side effects, and naturally no abnormal spiritual power will be detected."
"Oh! Junior Brother Chu, what are your thoughts on this matter?" Peng Jinhu asked, quite surprised.
Chu Feibai flicked the sleeves of his black robe and said calmly, "Wei Jing said he resolutely rejected Lin Zhaobei and even forcibly kicked him out."
"In that case, there must be no Seven-Scarred Spirit-Breaking Pill in Wei Jing's cave. But if we find the Seven-Scarred Spirit-Breaking Pill in his cave, then it means that Wei Jing is lying."
"He was clearly in cahoots with Lin Zhaobei."
Yang Qingxuan and Peng Jinhu exchanged a glance, and both nodded, saying:
"Junior Brother Chu is right."
Wei Jing suddenly felt like cursing. His heart sank to the bottom, and his mind raced as he tried to think of a way to break the deadlock.
The Chu family, it's the Chu family again.
Wei Jing was extremely troubled. Outside the sect, the two families had been at odds for a century, and their relationship had deteriorated to the extreme.
Within the sect, we must also guard against them suddenly launching sneak attacks.
"Elder Chu, what will you do if I can't find the Seven-Scarring Spirit-Exploding Pill in my cave?"
"Isn't this also considered framing me?" Wei Jing asked solemnly. He was stiff and neither humble nor arrogant. Even though the person opposite him was an elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, he still did not yield in the slightest.
But in reality, Wei Jing wasn't sure either; this kind of framing must have been meticulously planned and orchestrated.
Who knows, the other party may have secretly placed the Seven-Scarred Spirit-Exploding Pill above his cave.
Chu Feibai glanced at Lin Zhaobei, and seeing the other man give a subtle nod, Chu Feibai chuckled.
"I did not falsely accuse Junior Nephew Wei; I was merely offering my own opinions and suggestions."
"He's still not taking the bait? He's really a cunning old fox," Wei Jing frowned.
