Chapter 34: It’s Time to Leave the Mountain, Senior Sister!
Ye Family!
Ye Yu brought the medicinal materials he needed all the way back to the Ye family. After placing the medicinal materials in the corner of the room, he immediately sat cross-legged at the head of the bed and closed his eyes slightly.
His originally delicate face looked somewhat gloomy.
This was understandable. The bronze piece that should have belonged to him today was taken away by Mu Zhi’an.
Not only that, even the chief auctioneer of the Morning Glory Chamber of Commerce had such an intimate attitude towards Mu Zhi’an…
Thinking back to Miss Feiying’s compliment to him today, and the scene of that prodigal son holding her in his arms afterwards, Ye Yu felt a fire of jealousy burning in his heart that was hard to extinguish.
Although he had always adhered to the belief that “cultivation is the top priority”, when he really saw Mu Zhi’an and Feiying being intimate and the scene of the two chatting and laughing, Ye Yu still couldn’t help but lose control of his emotions.
Bewitching his fiancée, snatching away the limelight that should have belonged to him, and even deliberately competing against him, taking away the bronze piece that should have been his own.
Thinking back to everything that happened at the auction house today, Ye Yu’s fists subconsciously clenched tightly, and the blue veins on his forehead throbbed.
He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly before he managed to stabilize his state of mind.
Stay steady… can’t be rash.
Whether it was Bai Ruoxi or Feiying… after the day after tomorrow, everyone would know who was really worthy of associating with.
And now, what he needed to do was cultivate… cultivate hard.
Then, in the competition that day, he would defeat Mu Zhi’an in a fair and square manner, stepping on his head to rise to the top!
……
At the same time, Mu Manor.
Mu Zhi’an brought Bai Ruoxi along a corridor and came to an open plaza in front of the Mu family.
Several cauldrons of different colors were placed in front of the plaza. Mu Zhi’an wasn’t clear about the effects of these cauldrons, but he roughly knew that each alchemist had several such cauldrons on them.
It could be said that cauldrons were an alchemist’s second life.
Knowing that Elder Ren didn’t like to be disturbed during alchemy, Mu Zhi’an didn’t go up to greet him, but found an empty space not far from the plaza and sat down, waiting for the old man.
Bai Ruoxi walked to Mu Zhi’an’s side. The hem of her white dress fluttered slightly in the wind. She bent her knees and sat down beside him. Under the thin white dress, her snow-white skin had a semi-transparent beauty under the sunlight.
However, at this time, Mu Zhi’an didn’t pay attention to the girl beside him. His attention was completely attracted by the old man who was refining pills in front.
Even from a distance, Mu Zhi’an could still clearly feel the scorching temperature from the cauldron in front of the old man.
Just standing here, one could feel a bit of the temperature brought by the cauldron, let alone the old man who was refining pills.
After nearly half an hour, the temperature in the cauldron gradually subsided.
The old man slowly opened his turbid eyes, raised his hand to form a seal, and pointed at the cauldron in front of him.
From the cauldron, six pills with a smooth color quietly flew out. Vaguely, it seemed that there was a phantom of a fierce beast roaring on the pills.
A strong medicinal fragrance spread throughout the plaza. The old man took out two jade bottles, put one pill into one jade bottle, and then put the remaining five pills into the other jade bottle.
After doing all this, he turned around and came in front of Mu Zhi’an, handing the two jade bottles to Mu Zhi’an, and smiled, “One furnace of pills, six in total, not bad.”
Mu Zhi’an nodded and said sincerely, “You’ve worked hard, Elder Ren.”
The old man shook his head, a rare smile appearing on his face, “Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, alchemy is a very tiring thing, but for me, alchemy is not a tiring thing at all.”
Seeing that Mu Zhi’an didn’t understand, the old man chuckled and gave an example, “It’s like when Young Master used to go to the brothel. For an old man like me, it’s very difficult to persist in going to the brothel, but for Young Master, it’s as simple as eating and drinking because for Young Master, going to the brothel is a happy thing.”
Bai Ruoxi glanced at Mu Zhi’an unintentionally.
Mu Zhi’an’s recent performance had almost made her forget that this young master of the Mu family used to be a frequent visitor to the brothel… He had only restrained himself recently.
Don’t ruin my image while we’re having a good chat… Mu Zhi’an’s smile on his face was a bit hard to maintain. He handed one of the jade bottles to Bai Ruoxi and said, “Ruoxi, give this medicine to Uncle to take tonight.”
After saying that, he took out two pills from the other jade bottle and handed them to the old man.
“Elder Ren, keep these. Maybe they will come in handy sometime.”
The old man smiled kindly and nodded lightly, “Alright.”
This pill was called the Life Renewal Pill, an excellent pill for seriously injured patients. Taking and refining the pill could quickly recover from injuries.
This pill might be quite useful in this “bandit suppression”.
“Young Master is really cautious enough.” The old man sighed again.
Although the black-robed man was in the Spirit Transformation realm, his strength was not as good as his. Plus, there was also Wei Mengrou, the patriarch of the Bai family, and the Spirit Transformation realm experts of the Gongsun family and the Morning Glory Chamber of Commerce.
Even if the black-robed man grew a pair of wings, he couldn’t possibly fly away.
However, Mu Zhi’an sighed and said,
“Actually, I still feel it’s not stable.”
The old man frowned slightly and said, “Does Young Master feel that we are not enough to take down the black-robed man?”
“If it’s just one black-robed man, with Elder Ren and the others present, of course it’s enough.”
Mu Zhi’an turned his head to look at the old man and smiled, “But after the main dish is served, there are still side dishes to be served.”
The black-robed man was a common enemy, so they could cooperate.
What about after the black-robed man dies?
Without a common enemy, could the cooperating forces still unite against a common foe?
Also… Bai Ruoxi’s mother was only in the Qi Condensation realm.
How could a Qi Condensation realm cultivator be capable of swallowing three major families?
There were probably other experts behind Bai Yuanfeng.
The old man obviously understood Mu Zhi’an’s meaning. He frowned slightly and said, “Then what does Young Master plan to do? Ask those old undying ones to take action?”
Mu Zhi’an shook his head, “Only do that as a last resort.”
The several elders of the Mu family were all experts in the Spirit Transformation realm, but most of them had eccentric temperaments.
The several elders of the Mu family were all watching this action. If Mu Zhi’an directly asked them for help, on one hand, he might be refused, and on the other hand, their opinion of Mu Zhi’an would also drop a level in their hearts.
“I have a more suitable candidate.” Mu Zhi’an continued.
The old man asked with some curiosity, “Who?”
Mu Zhi’an looked at him and said, “A person who has always wanted to run away from home but has always stayed at home.”
“This time, I’ll give her a reason to run away from home… but whether she’s willing to come out or not depends on herself.”
“If she’s willing to come out, I can also take the opportunity to thank her for the Beast King Vine she gave.”
