Chapter 787 Chapter 787 Blessing and Curse
Another week passed and our bored gamer did what he usually does.
He continued making pills since that was his profession in this world and it was totally expected for him to gain so much fame in this short amount of time.
"What the hell is happening here?! Brother Ye has successfully created a Tier 9 Pill called Nine Wishes Luck Pill. Does that mean that he's already a Tier 9 Alchemist himself?!"
An avid disciple and fan roared his exclaims to his peers.
"Brother Ye Ming has been touched by the gods of alchemy. There is no doubt about it at all!"
"We could be considered mere peons in front of our Brother Ye Ming's talent."
"No one amongst us is even worthy to stand beside him in this day and age." Many more disciples echoed this sentiment out in honor of their seemingly untouchable co disciple.
In the end, the higher ups could no longer keep quiet about this entire affair.
"Big brother Ye Ming, your presence is requested by the sect master himself!" A tough looking disciple arrived in the courtyard of our very own protagonist.
What was funny to note was that this tough looking disciple was almost ten years older than our good gamer and yet he was still shameless enough to call Clark as his big brother.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis was brought to being because of our bored gamer's extreme popularity and achievements in recent days.
"I got it. Thank you." Clark nodded and wasted no time to answer the summons of his superior. He walked to his destination and he was met by the adulation of the sect.
"Brother Ye Ming! If you have some free time, can you teach me the basics of pill making? I'll be sure to make it worth your effort."
A sexy female disciple winked at our avid gamer and bit her red lips seductively. What she was meaning to suggest was quite clear in front of the audience.
"…" Clark smiled in return. He was not about to close any doors that were willing to let him enter into their depths.

Ma An. This was the name of an old man that awaited our bored gamer's entrance. Ma An was the sect master of the Pill God Sect.
He should have been happy by the recent developments of his sect but a frown was very much apparent on his wrinkled forehead at this time.
This kind of luck that our bored gamer brought him also contained a corresponding calamity in its arrival.
"Sect Master, inner disciple Ye Ming is already outside." A loyal maidservant announced in time.
"Let him come." Ma An instructed. Before long, this old sect master saw a young handsome man pass through the doors of his abode.
There was nobility in his stance and anyone could determine the look of absolute confidence on his face. Most would have noted this as arrogance but not this aged and wise sect master.
"Greetings, Sect Master!" Our bored gamer cupped his fist towards the sect master of the Pill God Sect.
He had foregone bowing and all since he already has the capital to stand toe to toe with this old man.
In fact, Clark could easily defeat Ma An without using his hands and feet in the process.
"You have given me many surprises, Ye Ming. I don't know whether this is a blessing or a curse. Maybe both."
Sect Master Ma An did not minced with words and directly shared his worries to our good gamer.
He did not suck up to our bored gamer so much since this unexpected change has honestly given him much headache in the recent days.
"…" Clark only nodded in response.
He could determine that this sect master was concerned about everything and he was right to do so since there were millions of lives relying on him and his Pill God Sect.
He did not want to invite the envy of the stronger forces around his influence at all.
"Shining too brightly won't give us any advantage at all. Only danger. Thereby, I prohibit you from creating anymore pills, Ye Ming. At least not before the eyes of the general public.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmYou can still contact Mission Hall Master Yin Ling if you still want to accept pill missions or sell your own pills to the market.
I hope to diminish your luster so that we may avoid bigger problems for all of us. Do you understand me, Ye Ming?" Ma An asked to emphasize his words.
"I do, Sect Master. Thank you for your concern." Clark replied. He liked the smart attitude of this old man.
"You are mature way beyond your age, child. Continue to do well and send my regards to your master. I will also arrange an Elder to be with you at all times." Ma An said.
The purpose of this elder did not need to be said. This particular person would serve as the last protection on the well being of our good gamer.
This old sect master was really great in covering all the bases of his interest.
"This disciple shall listen to the sect master's guidance." Clark cupped his fist once more and without ado, turned around for the exit.
Later that day, another old man visited our bored gamer's home. This was his bodyguard granted by the sect master himself.
Clark took this change in stride and followed his schedule as always. He would now meet with Elder Yin Ling in secret and provide them with the benefit of his expertise.
This only took like less than 30 minutes of his time every day. The rest he spent sleeping or working on his relationship with the lovely Qin Yu.
Life was great and our bored gamer would surely not complain about anything at all.

A month later and the first gamblers arrived in the vicinity of the Pill God Sect. They were of course after profit and nothing less.
"Beyond those gates lies our ticket towards infinite wealth!" The leader of the gamblers spoke with apparent excitement.
