Yin Disciple rose to his feet, showing no anger at the rejection.
"We may not have a formal alliance, but we are fellow Daoists nonetheless!"
"You are a newly-promoted Pill Master, after all. If you ever need anything, feel free to visit us. I've already informed my men."
The other two men also rose to their feet.
Li Zheng called for Ah Cheng, then said to Bai Mo,
"Immortal Arrival City doesn't have a Pill Assembly. It's just the few of us holding down the fort."
"Young friend, when you have time, remember to come out for a visit. You were certified in Celestial Mountain City, but you're an Immortal Arrival City man now."
"As for the Miaofa Sect, you don't need to worry. Bringing up the Xuandao Sect would just make it seem as if we old-timers aren't doing our part..."
Bai Mo rose to see them out.
'He didn't know exactly who these men were, but at least they bore him no ill will.'
After the three Pill Masters left, the old stall owner finally came out.
