AWB Chapter 234 This is exactly what they meant.
Chapter 234 This is exactly what they meant.
Finally, Zhong Lingxin arrived, and they were all determined to get rid of this mess. They couldn't let her slip away with some excuse.
Under the joint command of the three presidents and vice presidents, and amidst the collective indignation of the alchemists, Yu Daokui was quickly captured alive.
What should be done after capturing them alive?
The three presidents and vice presidents exchanged glances, and suddenly found themselves at a loss again.
Killing them is illegal. The Immortal Spirit Continent, especially Qingling City, is right under the nose of the Law Enforcement Association. The Alchemist Association cannot do anything illegal, otherwise it would be betraying its noble image of upholding justice and the law.
Punish her, however you see fit. If it's too lenient, it won't make an example of her, and Zhong Lingxin still won't be satisfied. If she's not satisfied, she'll try to escape. Don't think they don't know her little scheme of running away and hiding whenever she can. If it's too severe, they're not heartless.
This is difficult, very difficult!
The three presidents and vice presidents exchanged glances.
Yes, they've been researching Zhong Lingxin all this time.
Zhong Lingxin is not the kind of person who would tolerate being taken advantage of.
This is a good opportunity for her to establish her authority, making it easier for her to take over the Alchemist Association as soon as possible.
This matter happens to be related to her.
What a coincidence that this happened!
The three presidents and vice presidents turned to look at Zhong Lingxin at the same time.
Dan Qingzi cleared his throat: "Ahem, Elder Zhong, what do you think of this matter?"
Zhong Lingxin understood the three old foxes' thoughts at a glance.
He just wants to get rid of her.
It's no big deal!
In order to reduce the number of pill refining and missions I need in the future.
She took on the job of managing the shop!
Zhong Lingxin also cleared her throat and said indignantly, "The three presidents, this matter must be dealt with severely! Otherwise, anyone will come and cause trouble for no reason. Where will the dignity of our Alchemist Association be? How can we protect the millions of alchemists on the Immortal Spirit Continent? How can the millions of alchemists work with peace of mind to benefit all the cultivators on the Immortal Spirit Continent!"
The three presidents nodded in unison.
That makes sense, Elder Zhong makes sense.
But how can we deal with this seriously?
Zhong Lingxin suppressed the urge to roll her eyes. She said loudly, "According to Article 9, Sub-Article 20 of the Alchemist Regulations, anyone who intentionally coerces an alchemist into refining pills with ineffective medicinal herbs shall be barred from obtaining any pills from an alchemist for one hundred years, and all alchemists may refuse to refine pills for them. According to Article 3 of the Alchemist Guild Regulations, anyone who disrupts the Alchemist Association's operations may, depending on the severity of the circumstances, have the Alchemist Association refrain from selling any pills to their family for one hundred years and revoked all their family's rights within the Alchemist Association. Three guild leaders, this matter occurred at this time and place, making its nature particularly egregious. I, this elder, have a suggestion: punish both offenses together. Add another clause: for one thousand years, the Alchemist Association shall not grant any rights to this senior brother who intentionally caused trouble and his family, as a warning to others."
The three vice presidents nodded repeatedly.
Elder Zhong handled it very well, very well!
With someone who doesn't want to suffer losses arriving, it's time for the Alchemist Association to change its ways.
They all wholeheartedly support her as long as she is willing to handle it.
Dan Qingzi said with a heavy expression, "Since I took over as president, I haven't had a proper period of seclusion. I..."
Bai Yiyi and Mu Changqing said in unison, "The president is right. Since I took over as vice president, I haven't been able to properly go into seclusion. In order to refine pills better and innovate, I have decided to go into seclusion. The affairs of the association will be decided by you, president. There is no need to ask me."
Danqingzi nodded: "In that case, let the three of us presidents go into seclusion, and let the ten elders handle the affairs of the association."
The other nine elders were well aware of the intentions of the three presidents and vice presidents.
Moreover, this is exactly what they mean.
The nine elders all said that they all had their own alchemical principles to comprehend, and since Zhong Lingxin had just quoted the regulations of the Alchemist Association and handled the matter quickly and well, they should let Zhong Lingxin do more work because she is capable.
In the blink of an eye, the affairs of the Alchemist Association fell into Zhong Lingxin's hands.
Seeing that Zhong Lingxin was unwilling to take over so quickly, Dan Qingzi hurriedly said that he was going into seclusion, threw the Alchemist Association token to Zhong Lingxin, and quickly disappeared.
Upon seeing Dan Qingzi leave, Bai Yiyi and Mu Changqing also said they were going into seclusion and left as well.
The remaining nine elders disappeared faster than the last, too lazy to say a word, all vanishing in an instant.
Just kidding, Zhong Lingxin has never been one to suffer a loss. Now that she's been given such a heavy burden, she can't afford to be slow.
It's not that they don't want to have power, it's just that it's not easy to have it.
Those powerful families and sects have deeply entrenched influence; they're not to be trifled with. It's better to focus on cultivation and ascend to immortality sooner.
Zhong Lingxin held the Alchemist Association token in her hand and tapped it absentmindedly in her palm for a long time until the chaotic murmurs of discussion fell silent.
Zhong Lingxin looked up and gave everyone present a cold look.
That gaze was like ice shards, chilling everyone's hearts.
Zhong Lingxin's cold voice rang in everyone's ears: "From this moment on, no one who comes to the Alchemist Association for business will have special privileges or exceptions. Anyone who violates this rule or creates special privileges or exceptions will bear the consequences. The Alchemist Association will not be responsible for any consequences."
Also, stop bringing half-dead people to the Alchemist Association's entrance for help every now and then; follow all the proper procedures.
We monks often say that Heaven and Earth are ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs.
If even Heaven and Earth are heartless, then this elder is even more heartless; I have no love to spare for displaying greatness.
Anyone who dares to throw a tantrum, cry, or wail at the entrance of the Alchemist Association will be reported to the Law Enforcement Association for handling.
Those who chimed in from the sidelines were all noted down and listed as people the Alchemist Association refused to associate with.
Those alchemists who use inferior products or bully cultivators should have their licenses revoked and their rights cancelled.
This elder is very busy and doesn't have time to adjudicate your wrongful cases. The regulations are all hanging on the wall; refer to them yourself.
Alright, this elder's inauguration ceremony has now come to a perfect end.
Everyone, go about your business. Goodbye!
Everyone attending the celebration was somewhat stunned.
As is customary, those who attend the celebration should at least receive a gift or a meal at the memorial service.
Look at the corner; there's a huge pile of souvenirs there, all ready and prepared.
It is said that the spirit banquet has been prepared, and most of them came specifically for it. Everyone knows that the Alchemist Association has no shortage of spiritual plants, and the spirit banquet's ingredients are renowned throughout the Immortal Spirit Continent.
Now, everything is gone, all gone!
This Zhong Lingxin is indeed hot-tempered. When she's in a bad mood, she fires indiscriminately, completely disregarding offending everyone who comes to the celebration!
Zhong Lingxin, of course, didn't care.
She knew it very well.
When she can help these people, they will kneel down and beg her.
When she couldn't help them, even kneeling down and begging them was useless.
