Reincarnated With A System In A Cultivation World

"Move! Move!" they shouted. There was still chaos everywhere. I looked at them with interest. How were they going to look for someone with only a name?

Now that I was cast out of suspicion, I was relieved. I was confident that they could not find me. Now, all I could do was enjoy the show. They clearly had no intention of letting us go. All we could do was see what was going on.

We found seats nearby. The chaos lasted another hour before Hulong Kin returned back to us.

"I hope that you have not been inconvenienced by all of this." he asked.

"What do you think happened? But I guess that we cannot change that. Now, the sun has set. The bandits must be attacking. Do you want us to go there now? Your people will lose their lives today." I asked.

"The load that is coming today is not valuable enough for us to have such urgency. You can just return and rest after this is all over." he smiled.

"What do you mean, after this is all over? This is still not over? Why the hell is this taking so much time?"

"This is a serious security concern. Every single alchemist is a treasure of the kingdom, I am sure that you agree. Without alchemists, the cultivation of most cultivators in the kingdom would stagnate. We cannot let such a threat in the tower be let go so easily." Hulong Kin said.

"You only know a name. You don't even have a face. How the hell are you going to find someone like that? Forget that even. How did you even know that you have a threat here?" Cai Lien asked. She was silent all this time, but I was sure that she was fuming at our current situation as well.

"How do you know that? I have not told you the specifics about this." he looked at us with apprehension.

"You haven't been very secretive about your issue. Everyone here knows what is going on. Now then, answer the lady's concern. There are many guests here that you are holding hostage, practically. There should be a reason that you think there is an enemy here, don't you? You must have some source." I asked. This was good. I could find out who ratted me out. That person would be Yurian Gale. I still had that slight hope that he was not the Pill Tower branch leader.

"That is confidential. We cannot just tell you how the Pill Tower operates within. I ask you to sit down and wait a little while." Hulong Kin said as he stepped back.

But the fire was lit. Around us, people heard what we said. They also started asking the attendants around them. They were innocent here, unlike me. They had no reason to be detained.

"Now you have done it. Fine. I am not responsible for this. The youngest Pill Elder of the Pill Tower says that someone who is an enemy of the Pill Tower entered here. He is the personal disciple of the Pill Tower branch leader, and he is also the brightest genius of the Pill Tower, the best alchemist the tower has seen in a century!" Hulong Kin said.

The moment he said this, everyone became quiet. When they were dealing with someone like that, they could not resist. An alchemist would have the biggest backing of everyone. They would have experts trying to curry their favor, and when it is a Pill Elder who was a once a century genius, they would have masters all over the kingdom behind them.

"Then, can I go work now? I need to find that person. We are in trouble if we cannot find him." he muttered as he left us again.

I looked at the others who were looking at us with ashen faces.

"What is wrong, brother? Is there something that we have done? By any chance, do you know who this person is that he just told us about?" I asked.

"How do you not know him? The alchemy genius who comes only once a century. The whole kingdom knows about this prodigy from the Yunir City. You Feng." Cai Lien spoke up.

"You Feng? I feel like this name is very similar to Yurian Gale. Why is that? Well, I wonder. But now that I know who I need to go against, I should do something about it. If he is a Pill Elder, that must mean that he is in the Nascent Soul stage, or even the Xiantian Stage. It will be hard to go against him." I told myself.

"Forgive us all, esteemed guests. It seems that a dire mistake has been made. We hope that you can forgive us. The Pill tower shall have to remain closed for the next five days to choke out this rat. We shall compensate you splendidly once the enemy is found." an attendant announced.

"What? They are willing to close the Pill Tower and hold us hostage for five days to find out who the enemy is? This is truly unfair." I shook my head.

"What is going on? We have to stay here now?" the crowd was getting uncomfortable.

"You can use this time to your advantage. It is not every day that you are in the Pill Tower. You can use this time to become an alchemist." Liu Man suggested.

"You are right. I should become an alchemist. I have to do it sometime anyway." I nodded as I looked around. There were attendants running around everywhere. I stopped one of them.

"What do you want, esteemed guest?" he asked.

"Esteemed guest? Well, they have to treat us with utmost respect after the stuff they are pulling off." I shrugged and continued.

"I wish to take the test to become an alchemist. I can make Foundation Establishment Level pills." I asked.

He looked at me pensively, but he sighed.

"The entry fee is a million spirit coins." he said.
