Chapter 13 – Cutting bones and digging flesh, publicly humiliate!
"Of course, the Enforcement Hall has detailed regulations regarding evaluations. As your senior sister, I won't give random scores, and I certainly won't deliberately fail you."
"Moreover, I'm not heartless. If any of you achieve an A-grade evaluation, I can reward you with a Void Pill. Additionally, the Cultivation Hall will also reward you with a substantial number of sacrificial furnaces."
Patricia Qing's words caused a stir among the white-robed disciples, their faces lighting up with excitement and greed.
This novel is available on ".
Patricia looked at the white-robed disciple standing at the front.
"Chu Jun, you go first."
"Yes, Senior Sister."
The female disciple named Chu Jun stepped forward. Her delicate features and somewhat wooden expression made her look like a porcelain doll, but when she spoke about alchemy, her eyes sparkled with confidence.
"The Void Pill significantly enhances a cultivator's comprehension in a short time, helping them break through bottlenecks. The lower the cultivation level, the better the effect."
"Even for Foundation Establishment cultivators, the Void Pill has some effect. However, it doesn't work for Golden Elixir Masters."
"The main ingredients for refining the Void Pill are the Ten Thousand Soul Flower, the Bright Pearl, and the Clear Spirit Brain... The auxiliary ingredients include Calming Grass, two mortals, and ten-year-old ginseng..."
Chu Jun began by explaining the effects of the Void Pill, then delved into the required ingredients and alchemy techniques. The surrounding white-robed disciples nodded frequently, feeling enlightened.
Listening to Chu Jun's explanation was far more beneficial than just watching Patricia Qing refine pills.
After a full quarter of an hour, Chu Jun finally stopped and bowed to Patricia.
"Senior Sister, I've finished."
The other white-robed disciples whispered among themselves.
"An A-grade for sure! Chu Jun's answer was perfect!"@@novelbin@@
"Chu Jun's explanation was excellent. I feel like I can start refining pills right away."
"Yeah, I wasn't confident about this assessment, but after hearing Chu Jun, I'm sure I can at least get a C-grade."
Brandon Jiang also nodded secretly, having learned a lot from Chu Jun. If Patricia Qing's requirements weren't too high, passing the assessment shouldn't be a problem.
Everyone eagerly awaited Chu Jun's final evaluation.
Patricia looked at the composed girl before her and suddenly smiled.
"Junior Sister Chu Jun, you've always performed exceptionally well in my classes. Your deep understanding of the Void Pill this time has exceeded my expectations."
"By the way, I remember two months ago, your cultivation had reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining, right?"
Chu Jun's eyes showed some confusion, but she answered honestly.
"Senior Sister, you remember correctly, but I don't see how my cultivation is related to this assessment."
At this moment, the white-robed disciples and Brandon Jiang sensed something was off.
Patricia Qing's attitude was very strange!
Suddenly, Patricia's gaze turned cold, and her tone was filled with deep disdain.
"Of course, it's related! Chu Jun, you've become too arrogant."
"All your alchemy techniques were taught by me. I admit you have great talent, but you repeatedly reveal the essence of my alchemy in class. Now, whenever my junior sisters have questions, they come to you for answers!"
"Every class, I have to give everyone at least a C-grade evaluation. Even if I force a D-grade, the Enforcement Hall would investigate and correct it."
"I want to ask you! Who is the senior sister here, you or me?"
"You're just in the Qi Refining stage and already so unruly. When you reach Foundation Establishment, will you try to overshadow me?"
Hearing this, Chu Jun finally understood, her delicate face filled with confusion and helplessness.
"Senior Sister Patricia, I... I never intended any of this. I only followed your instructions and shared what I knew. I've always respected you and never thought of replacing you. Please believe me."
Patricia snorted coldly.
"I can't see through people's true intentions, nor do I have the patience to guess."
"Chu Jun, you've performed too well in my classes. I can't find a reason to kill you, and the sect has rules against causing irreparable harm to Qi Refining disciples without reason. However..."
Patricia's gaze turned icy, and she sneered.
"If I drain some of your power and fortune, no one will say anything. After all, you can always cultivate it back!"
With that, a sword appeared in Patricia's hand out of thin air.
She walked up to Chu Jun and stabbed her thigh, instantly staining Chu Jun's white robe with blood.
Creak—Creak—
The sword twisted in Chu Jun's body.
Chu Jun bit her lip tightly, her face pale, cold sweat pouring down like rain.
But she didn't dare to resist or run away.
Because doing so would be seen as rebelling against a Foundation Establishment senior sister, giving Patricia a legitimate reason to kill her.
"It's been a long time since I tasted the power and fortune extracted from a peak Qi Refining cultivator. I almost forgot what it feels like."
Patricia sneered, opening her mouth wide to swallow the two glowing orbs she extracted.
Brandon Jiang watched this scene with a complex expression.
This Senior Sister Chu Jun, a peak Qi Refining cultivator, was far stronger than the three immortals responsible for the entry assessment, and even Jessica Yu was no match for her.
Yet, because Patricia Qing, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, found her displeasing, she was brutally injured and publicly humiliated.
The strict hierarchy of the Heavenly Lotus Sect was too cruel.
Around Brandon, the white-robed disciples who had just been praising and thanking Chu Jun now began to kick her while she was down.
"Chu Jun deserves this. How dare she outshine Senior Sister Patricia in her own class? She has no brains at all."
"Haha, what a fool. She tried to replace a Foundation Establishment senior sister in our hearts while still in the Qi Refining stage. What would she do if she reached Foundation Establishment?"
"Senior Sister Patricia is right. People like her need to be taught a lesson!"
"Peak Qi Refining power and fortune... If I could taste even a bit, would my cultivation soar?"
"Don't even think about it. We can only absorb the power and fortune of cultivators weaker than ourselves, or we might explode and die."
The white-robed disciples whispered among themselves as more and more of Chu Jun's power and fortune were drained.
Chu Jun was covered in blood, her aura weak to the extreme.
In contrast, Patricia's aura was incredibly strong, even stronger than when Brandon first saw her.
Finally, Patricia stopped, looking coldly at Chu Jun and announcing.
"Chu Jun, C-grade, no reward."
What do you think?
