Chapter 1182: Done Reading
Elder Wen Xi’s heart skipped a beat. He took a closer look at Elder Hua Feng and realized that his expression was normal with clear eyes.
The latter didn’t look like he was drunk at all, yet the thick and intense alcoholic smell spread out from his clothes.
The bottle of wine was empty, yet it seemed like it didn’t enter his stomach and was instead spilled out.
Elder Wen Xi grabbed Elder Hua Feng’s elbow, pulled him into the house, and closed the door behind him.
After ensuring that the surroundings were empty, Elder Wen Xi looked at him calmly. “You came today to talk to me about this?”
Elder Hua Feng found a seat for himself, knitted his brows, and looked like he had a lot of problems. “That day, she clearly already entered Fangzhou City. Even if she loves to play, she logically should’ve been back after so long, right? But why… Why hasn’t she appeared yet?”
For this, he had even specifically waited at Fangzhou for a few days. However, she had yet to show up to this day.
The longer it had been, the more Elder Hua Feng couldn’t let it go. Thus, he decided to come and find Elder Wen Xi to seek his opinion.
“She has always been unpredictable like this. Perhaps she was delayed by something last minute. Besides… Even if she’s back at Fangzhou, nobody said that she has to come back to the academy.” Elder Wen Xi sat down at the side. “Perhaps she has left?”
Elder Hua Feng’s lips moved, and he couldn’t help but scold, “She has no conscience!”
She had already reached Fangzhou. According to her abilities, she definitely knew that it was Wen Xi and me there that day!
“She disappeared without a trace a few years ago, and she didn’t even see us when she came back! She doesn’t even know her rules!”
Elder Wen Xi looked at him with a deep gaze. “Since when was she related to the word ‘rules?'”
“…”
Bang!
Elder Hua Feng slammed his wine bottle onto the table. “It’s fine if he doesn’t come back! Without her, I can still drink a few more bottles of wine!”
Elder Wen Xi was too lazy to expose him.
Seeing Elder Hua Feng’s disinterested face, Elder Wen Xi knew that the latter wouldn’t feel good no matter how much alcohol he drank.
“She has her own thoughts. When she wants to come back, she will. Why are you so anxious?” Elder Wen Xi smiled. “Didn’t you just accept a disciple recently? Teach her well! She’s neither of our disciples, so why should we waste our time on her?”
“Pfft.” Elder Hua Feng glanced at the bookshelf at the side in contempt. “Why did you purposely bring out those books? Other than her, nobody would dare to secretly come over and look at your books!”
“You—” Elder Wen Xi was stumped. It’s most annoying to hurt each other!
“Besides, didn’t you accept a disciple too? That Luo Shishi and Zhuo Sheng aren’t bad, especially Luo Shishi. In time to come, she’ll definitely have a place on the Qing Yun Ranking.”
“Hmph, that girl’s mind is filled with Chu Yue half the time!” Elder Wen Xi couldn’t help but tease. “However, Chu Yue seems to be quite talented in this aspect. Previously, we couldn’t really tell…”
They had found out that Chu Liuyue defeated Liu Zi’an, and they were all very shocked.
Being able to beat someone of a higher grade said a lot.
“Back then, he just said that he was a stage-seven warrior and didn’t reveal the rest. Who would’ve guessed? But seeing what he plans, he probably wants to specialize as a heavenly doctor.”
Elder Wen Xi shrugged his shoulders. “It’s too easy for Wan Zheng. It’s hard to see such natural talents.”
The two of them sat opposite each other and stayed silent for a while. Then, the two of them exchanged a glance.
“Hua Feng, don’t you think that Chu Yue is a little similar to her?”
…
The moon was high in the sky.
Nearing the time she had to leave Million Wine Mountain, Chu Liuyue absorbed the last bit of force and gradually opened her eyes. In no time, I should be able to break through.
She turned around and saw that Tuan Zi had immersed half its body into that fountain.
Bubbles kept floating up, and the fiend looked very comfortable.
Chu Liuyue grabbed her fiend’s wings and picked it up.
Tuan Zi was originally enjoying it properly. Now that it was suddenly interrupted, it couldn’t help but grumble.
Chu Liuyue pretended like she didn’t see it, flinging it away like a used cloth. “Not today.”
I’ve just come out from Fengmin Mountain. Even if I want to go back again, today is not the day. Wouldn’t that be me purposely causing trouble for myself? Besides, when I left the residence, Big Baby purposely reminded me not to wreak havoc. I have a prediction that if I do this secretly, Big Baby will definitely know immediately! By that time… Nothing good would be waiting for me.
“I’ll think of a way another day.”
The wet Tuan Zi could only agree. Even though this bit of force it absorbed wasn’t sufficient, it could forcefully accumulate.
When the time came, it could unleash the bloodline power completely!
…
When Chu Liuyue walked to the foot of the mountain, she turned back to take a look. As she had already left the barrier, she couldn’t see the scene on the mountain peak too clearly.
Perhaps an elder was producing a weapon there, or perhaps the lightning strength within the fountain kept increasing.
She retracted her gaze and left with Tuan Zi.
…
Chu Liuyue spent the next period of time rather peacefully. During daytime, she would study the medicinal formulas Elder Wan Zheng gave her. At night, she would cultivate with Tuan ZI on Million Wine Mountain.
Of course, before she went to Million Wine Mountain, Big Baby would come to ‘duel’ with her punctually.
Perhaps it was because a huge commotion was caused between Liu Yintong and Jiang Zhiyuan on the first day, so not many people went to Million Wine Mountain during this period. This undoubtedly benefited Chu Liuyue greatly.
Ten days later, she successfully broke through to become an intermediate stage-seven warrior.
Everything seemed to be progressing smoothly.
But as time passed, Chu Liuyue became increasingly anxious. This was because she still hadn’t thought of a way to stay on Million Wine Mountain for the whole day.
Just depending on that bit of time at night caused Tuan Zi to accumulate limited strength. The main point was that the lightning strength would only appear in the fountain during the restricted hours, and it was the key to unleashing Tuan Zi’s bloodline power!
…
Bang!
On the mountain, Chu Liuyue slapped her bare hands, and the pill within the cauldron rapidly flew up!
She quickly caught it and stored it within the jade box.
Kacha!
The remaining intense herbal fragrance spread around.
“Mentor.” Chu Liuyue walked over and presented the jade box with both hands.
Elder Wan Zheng stroked his beard in satisfaction and took the jade box. “I didn’t expect you to choose this first.”
He opened the jade box as he spoke, and surprise flashed across his eyes.
Actually, when Chu Liuyue competed with Liu Zi’an previously, he saw clearly from Dong Huang Clock Tower. Thus, he knew that this newly accepted disciple of his was much stronger and more talented than he had thought.
But after he saw the pill, he was still taken aback and pleasantly surprised.
“You managed to succeed in producing a superior eighth-grade pill on your first try. You did every step well… How rare!” He looked at Chu Liuyue emotionally. “In no time, you should be able to try and produce a ninth-grade pill!”
Chu Liuyue laughed lightly and took out the medicinal book, passing it back to him.
Elder Wan Zheng was dazed for a moment. “This is—”
Chu Liuyue paused. “I’ve finished reading this book. I’ll return it to you.”
