Chapter 3030
In Monica’s eyes, James was but a clown. A very successful one, at that, to have fooled even theYoung Master of the Elixir Pavilion.
At the same exact moment, the Great Elder of the World Pavilion was already on his way to theMaster’s closed-door meditation sanctuary. There were extremely steep stone walls at the back of themountain. When he reached a stone wall, he held up his hand. Then, some mysterious prints andsymbols appeared and enmeshed themselves within the wall in front of him.
A loud roar came from the wall, followed by a crack, into which Grasberg walked. He entered a cavethat extended inwards and arrived at a stone house located within its depths.
Within the stone house, a middle-aged man was sitting cross-legged. A man with long hair who lookedto be in his forties had mysterious symbols floating around his body in a circular motion.
“Master.” Grasberg walked towards him. As this world operated based on the law of the jungle, hereferred to Wollongong as ‘Master’ even though he was his son.
Wollongong raised his head and glanced at Grasberg. One could vaguely see mysterious forcescirculating within the veins that surfaced on his skin. His expression was in slight pain.
“Is something the matter?” Wollongong spoke with a hoarse, shaking voice.
With a respectful tone, Grasberg said, “Master, a youngster came from the outside world to the WorldPavilion. He knows about your injury and has brought with him a healing elixir. He also said that he hasquestions for you.”
“Who is this man?” Wollongong was shocked. He was injured in Mount Baidi. Not many people knewwhat took place there. How did an outsider find out?novelbin
Grasberg shook his head, “I don’t know who he is. What I do know is that even the Young Master of theElixir Pavilion is treating him with courtesy. This youngster has explicitly stated that he is here to meetyou.”
Wollongong fell into deep thought. After a long while, his expression returned to normal as he stood upand said, “Since he’s here, let’s go see him.”
“Okay.”
……
After a rather long wait in the main hall, the Great Elder reappeared, with a middle-aged man behindhim. Seeing this, Monica stood up hurriedly and respectfully called out, “Master.”
Wollongong walked towards James and looked at him. After sensing his rank, he could not help butraise his eyebrow, yet he could not slight James when standing beside him was an Alchemist whosebadge stated, ‘Elixir Pavilion’s Highest Ranking Alchemist’.
With a smile, he asked, “I am the Master of the World Pavilion. May I know how I can be of help?”
Wollongong was reluctant to bow down and speak in such a humble tone. However, he could not dootherwise when Grasberg had already told him that the Elixir Pavilion’s Young Master respected thisyoungster.
James responded without hesitation, “I’ve come to the World Pavilion for one purpose only, which is togo to Mount Baidi.
Wollongong’s expression changed obviously when James mentioned Mount Baidi. However, hereigned in his shock and reacted quickly. Feigning ignorance, he said, “Mount Baidi? Where’s that?”
He asked the Grasberg who was standing beside him, “Have you heard of that place?”
The Great Elder shook his head and said, “No, I haven’t.”
Wollongong turned towards James again and said with an apologetic expression, “James, you must bemistaken. I don’t know where Mount Baidi is.”
Suddenly, Jules erupted with fury. “Wollongong, don’t mess around with us. If James says you know,then you must know. Tell him what you know about Mount Baidi. If you anger James, with one strikefrom him even ten World Pavilions would turn into ashes, let alone this measly one.”
