Sovereign of the Three Realms - Chapter 1119

Pill King Ji Lang had spent so long setting the scene for himself for this one moment. Everyone, including Pill King Blue Phoenix, was staring at him. These veteran pill kings wanted to see how Pill King Ji Lang would treat the Moon God Precious Tree too. Truthfully, they were all on the same skill level as the pill king, but unlike them, Pill King Ji Lang was young and Emperor Pillzenith's chosen successor. That was why he put on airs and acted arrogantly.

If he could treat the Moon God Precious Tree, they'd swallow their complaints and let his shortcomings slide by. But if he couldn't treat the Moon God Precious Tree, then they would have words about his attitude.

As time ticked on, Pill King Ji Lang's expression grew more and more serious. He'd been full of confidence and certainty at first, but soon discovered that he was unable to diagnose the condition that plagued the Moon God Precious Tree despite scouring through a lifetime of knowledge. He slowly panicked.

He'd wasted a great amount of effort to promote himself as he'd thought this was his opportunity to enhance his reputation and win the heart of the pretty girl who'd caught his eye. If he really failed to treat the Moon God Precious Tree, then everything he did earlier would be nothing but a joke. He might turn into a laughingstock.

Sweat began to pour down Pill King Ji Lang's back. He forced himself to inspect the Moon God Precious Tree again from the beginning, but the result was the same as before.

Two hours passed. Three hours passed. The three sectmasters of Moon God Sect had put great expectations on Pill King Ji Lang. As time went on, however, their expressions grew more and more severe as disappointment flashed through their faces.

Although they didn't go so far as to label Pill King Ji Lang as a show-off with no true skill, their opinion of him had dipped severely. Everyone said that Pill King Ji Lang is an amazing pill king, but truthfully? This is all he can manage. He's not so different from others.

The worst part of it all was the ridiculous self promotion he'd done earlier to prepare the 'climax' of the show. The start had been impressive, but the end was like constipation. Nothing had come out. The feeling of being raised into the air before being dropped to the ground was very, very depressing to say the least.

When four hours passed, everyone's patience had dried up completely. If Pill King Ji Lang wasn't a representative of Pillfire City, the Moon God Sect members present would have already declared an end to this farce. After all, no one wanted to see Pill King Ji Lang humiliate himself any further.

Finally, the pill king let out a cough but maintained a self-important look on his face. He declared leisurely, "Dear sectmasters, I wasn't able to discover the root cause of the Moon God Precious Tree's sickness despite using everything I've learned. However, I did discover some suspicious clues. The problem though is that I cannot deduce anything from these clues in such a short time, so I'll have to return to Pillfire City to look up a few references and confirm my thoughts. I am sure that I will come up with an answer to your problems one day."

His words sounded mighty impressive, but anyone who mulled over his words carefully would discover that they were empty words that might as well have been left unsaid.

For starters, there was nothing concrete in his statements such as the use of words like "clues" and "suspicious". His so-called deduction and looking up references could only be performed after he returned to Pillfire City. Even his promised "answer" had an indefinite deadline. "One day"? The day he found an answer might not come even after Moon God Precious Tree had lost all of its leaves.

Still, the sectmasters of Moon God Sect maintained a polite tone out of consideration for Pillfire City's face. "In that case, we wish for you to bring us good news as soon as possible, Pill King Ji Lang."

"Of course, of course. Ji Lang will do his absolute best to find out the root cause of the Moon God Precious Tree's sickness." Pill King Ji Lang expressed.
