C47 By Me
"Wu Di, I need one of your pills. I guess you don’t have any problem with that, right? You know that if you are injured right now, your cultivation will definitely be delayed a lot. It's a huge loss that cannot be made up for with just one or two pills." Wu Hua walked over to Wu Di who was sitting on the ground and looked down at him from above, his voice not concealing his threat at all.
Wu Di's face was flushed red, the anger welled up in his eyes when he looked at Wu Hua. With his mouth slightly opening, he blurted out coldly: “The pills are mine, no one can snatch them from me.”
Hearing these words, Wu Hua's originally smiling face instantly turned ashen. He never would have thought that Wu Di would actually be so resolute, just like the trash who behaved the same the other day.
Behind Wu Zejun, Wu Qing, who was depressed at the loss of a pill, suddenly raised his head when he heard Wu Di's words. His originally lost and helpless eyes flashed with a glint of light, and he suddenly envied Wu Di who was at the same age as him, but at a lower cultivation level.
"Wu Di, you must think this through. Wu Qing gave out a pill even if he is sheltered by Wu Zejun. No one would protect you here. If you do not understand what's good for you, you’d better ready for troubles." Wu Kai who was by his side felt somewhat less angered seeing that Wu Hua was also confronted with toughness. However, he knew that Wu Hua had already got his pill and would not do everything he could to help him. If he did not take advantage of the situation now, he would probably not be able to get the pill from Wu Di at all.
"From now on, I will shelter Wu Di. Let me see if there is anyone who dares to snatch pills from him?" At this moment, a clear voice suddenly came from the back of the crowd. The crowd parted and a cyan-robed figure walked in.
Wu Kai's expression froze, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes. “Wu Hui, are you meddling with our business again? " Facing Wu Hui, Wu Kai's tone of voice became weaker, and his gaze looked towards Wu Hua who had the same change in expression by the side.
"Yes, I will and must meddle with your business. I am the one who added their names to the list. So whoever wants to snatch pills from them will have to ask me first if I permit or not." Wu Hui's expression turned cold as he looked at Wu Kai. There was anger surging in his eyes.
“How come you are the one who have the right to add their names? The list of the outstanding disciples was drawn up by the Patriarch, and only those who have met the requirements to be outstanding disciples are qualified to be on the list. Now you add these names so haphazardly, did Elder Hai permit this?” Facing Wu Hui's overbearing attitude, Wu Hua still walked out. He knew from the clan's higher-ups that there was something different with Wu Hui. He was very puzzled - why did a common disciple to have the right to decide on pill distribution? In Wu Hua's opinion, the pills given out were all concocted by Elder Hai.
"I don't have to go through Elder Hai to make the decision, because I have the right to distribute the pills this time. Not only can I remove names, I can also add names. If you can’t agree with the arrangement, you can make complaints to the elders." Wu Hui walked to Wu Di's side as he spoke. In the blink of an eye, a round and pure white pill appeared in his palm.
"You… Ahhh!" Wu Hua was furious. He did have gone to the Third Elder to complain, however, the Third Elder did not find fault with Wu Hui but scolded Wu Hua instead. How could he dare to make complaints to the elders again? Just at the moment when Wu Hua could not vent his anger, his eyes suddenly opened wide. He looked at the pill in Wu Hui's hand in shock, and was unable to say a word.
"This is a Healing pill, a high-quality one!" As an outstanding disciple in the clan, Wu Hua had used pills many times so he could recognize quite many of them. He could tell with one glance that it was a first-grade Healing pill in Wu Hui's hand, and it was of high quality. Even more shocking to Wu Hua was how Wu Hui brought the pill out of thin air. His gaze searched about, and finally found the red ring on Wu Hui's ring finger.
"Is it a Storage Ring? Ah, it is one sold at the auction. How did it end up in Wu Hui's hands?" Wu Hua thought to himself. He was so shocked that his entire body was even trembling. It was said that the ring at the auction was a medium-level Storage Ring. How could the clan allow a common disciple to use it? What on earth really happened to Wu Hui?
It was not only Wu Hua. The moment the surrounding people saw Wu Hui take out the pure white pill, they all went silent for a moment with dull expressions. Some people rubbed their eyes in disbelief, as if they couldn't believe what they had just seen.
"Wu Di, your meridian channels are slightly damaged. Take this advanced-level first-grade Healing pill. You take it now, and then wield the energy in your body to circulate and regulate your breathing, try your best to quickly recover. Do not let the injury affect your cultivation." Wu Hui looked at Wu Di, his gaze filled with satisfaction. Wu Hui seemed to see himself in Wu Di - the same indomitable spirit, the same unswerving determination.
"An advanced-level first-grade pill!" When Wu Di saw Wu Hui taking out the pill, his face had already filled with excitement. When he heard that it was an advanced pill, he became even more thrilled. He had never taken a pill before because his aptitude was not good enough and his progress was too slow. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't keep up with the pace of others. However, he had never given up. Wu Di believed that if as long as he worked hard enough, there would be a reward someday. Even though Wu Di was excited, he knew the value of an advanced-level grade-one pill. So he said: “Brother Wu Hui, I don't want this advanced-level first-grade pill. "
"Oh, but why? Although your injuries are not serious, you still will be delayed at least half a month in your cultivation so you can fully recover from the injuries. If you can recover quickly, it will greatly benefit your cultivation." Wu Hui didn't expect that Wu Di would reject his pill. An advanced-level grade-one pill could help Wu Di completely recover from the injuries within just one day at most.
"Brother Wu Hui, would you please give an advanced-level QI Gathering pill in exchange of this advanced-level Healing pill?” Wu Di's face reddened, his eyes filled with hope.
"Wu Di, are you crazy? How could Wu Hui still have Qi Gathering Pills? If he had one, he would have used himself. Why would he give to you?” Wu Hua recovered from the shock just now, his eyes staring at the advanced-level Healing pill in Wu Hui's hand, his face burning hot. An advanced-level Healing pill could quickly heal injuries. Every year, the clan would arrange disciples at or above Profound Grade to hunt barren beasts in the Barren Beast Forest. It was extremely dangerous. Having an advanced Healing pill meant having an extra life, which would of course make Wu Hua excited. “Wu Di, how about you give me this pill, and I will not demand the other two from you? What do you say?”
Hearing that Wu Hua still wanted pills even when he was actually on the spot, Wu Hui’s expression had already become ice-cold. With a wave of a hand, the pure-white pill in his hand turned into a crystal-like pill.
"This is … really an advanced Healing pill. Ah, wait a minute. I have seen the advanced Healing pill concocted by Elder Hai and that was even less pure than this one. Its fragrance far surpasses the ones that I have seen before. Is it... a superior-level first-grade Qi Gathering pill?” Wu Hua stared at the pill in shock. Taking a deep breath, a light fragrance entered his body, and the Martial qi in his body even started to become more active.
"A superior first-grade Qi Gathering Pill! How could this be possible?" Wu Hua's cry of surprise had reached the ears of everyone present, causing an uproar. Everyone looked at the pill in Wu Hui's hands passionately, as the sound of their breathing in and out even echoed in the training field.
"Is this really a superior first-grade Qi Gathering Pill? Didn't they say that the best pill Elder Hai could concoct was just an advanced pill?"
"It should be, right? Didn't you see Wu Hua's expression? I just don't know why Wu Hui had pills of such quality. "
"You only saw the pill, didn't you see the Storage Ring on Wu Hui's finger? I heard that it was something from the auction, which cost a whole 10 million!"
...
"Seriously?"
...
The discussion in the surroundings became louder and louder, and the gazes at Wu Hui also became more and more amazed. Apparently, the clan now was giving all its effort to nurture Wu Hui.
When Wu Hui took out the superior first-grade Qi Gathering Pill, Wu Di’s eyes shone and his expression became excited and shocked. He never thought that Wu Hui could really give out a Qi Gathering Pill simply after he asked for the favor - and it was an advanced first-grade Qi Gathering Pill which had never appeared in the Wu Family before. Other than shock, there was also a trace of reverence in Wu Di's eyes as he looked at Wu Hui.
"Thank you, brother Wu Hui." After receiving the pill, Wu Di bowed and thanked Wu Hui, then he stood beside him.
"Wu Hui, I never thought you would have so many pills. I'm afraid that these are the pills to be given out to the outstanding disciples in three days. Now you’ve just given out the pills haphazardly, let’s hope that you’ve still got enough for others three days later." Wu Hua looked at the Storage Ring on Wu Hui's finger with all his cravings. He knew that all the pills that would be given out in three days were in Wu Hui's hands, and the quality of the pills this time was way higher than he had expected. To think that there would actually a superior pill.
"Wu Hua, don't worry. The pills are sufficient enough for everyone on the outstanding disciples list, and they will all be of advanced-level quality or above." As Wu Hui was talking about advanced-level pills or above, all of the disciples who had reached the requirements were filled with excitement. They never thought that not only were there two pills, but they were also pills of such high quality.
Hearing the words “advanced-level quality or above”, Wu Hui’s facial expression became somewhat ugly. His qualification had already been canceled by Wu Hui. If the others had the pills, their cultivation would definitely catch up with or even surpass his. And then, his status in the clan would drop even further. Fortunately, he had obtained one from Wu Qing. Wu Hua turned to look at Wu Qing who was hiding behind Wu Zejun, and wondered if he could even get his hands on the other pill.
At this moment, Wu Qing who was behind Wu Zejun appeared somewhat regretful, and was looking enviously at Wu Di who was behind Wu Hui. When his pill was snatched, Wu Zejun, whom he had always admired, disregarded him. Yet Wu Hui was actually so protective of Wu Di.
Sensing the implicit ridicule in Wu Hui’s words, Wu Hua wore on an unpleasant expression. No matter if he admitted it or not, Wu Hui was different from his past. In the past, everyone could call him trash and humiliate him as they wished. But now, after he had broken through to the Profound Grade, the clan attached such great importance to him - the Storage Ring, a large number of pills, and the right to give out the pills. More importantly, his strength had suddenly become extremely strong, and he had defeated Wu Kai who was at One-star of Profound. Wu Hui even dared to fight head to head with him. All of these things finally made Wu Hua to reveal some fear in his eyes.
