Ch174 - Arrive at the Pill Peak

Edited by Zaki

Although the Third Elder accepted four disciples in the end, many people could see that the disciple the Third Elder was most satisfied with was Liu Mufeng. The other three disciples did not attract too much attention from him.

After the Eighteen Peak Masters had selected their disciples, it was the second-tier Elders’ turn to select. This time, there were only two hundred and five disciples who entered the inner door. After the Eighteen Peak Masters had selected their disciples, there were only few left. The second-level Elders could only accept all the remaining crooked melons and jujubes.

“Liu Mufeng.” Seeing Liu Mufeng who was about to leave with the Third Elder, Elder Qian called out a little reluctantly.

Hearing someone call him, Liu Mufeng looked over and saw a fat middle-aged man staring at him. Walking forward, Liu Mufeng bowed his head and saluted. “Disciple pays respects to Elder Qian.”

At that, Elder Qian was stunned. “You, do you know me?” Generally, new disciples only know the Eighteen Peak Masters, and some didn’t even have any idea who the Eighteen Peak Masters were, let alone second-level Elders.

“Naturally. Elder Qian is the Elder in charge of the trading area, and he is the person who can earn the most spirit stones in our Lingwu Sect. This disciple admires him greatly.” Liu Mufeng said with a smile.

Hearing this, Elder Qian was very happy. “Aiyaa, this kid is quite a flatterer. However, what you said is not wrong, I am the person who can earn the most spirit stones in our sect.”

“Yes, the disciple thinks so too.”

“Boy, actually, rather than learning alchemy, I think it’s better for you to learn how to earn spirit stones with me. After all, I have seen the amount of spirit stones you earned last night was quite good. You have a brain and talent for doing business. I was the same when I was young. How about you become my apprentice?” Looking at Liu Mufeng, Elder Qian was very unwilling to let go of Liu Mufeng.

Hearing this, Liu Mufeng smiled helplessly, “Many thanks to Elder Qian for his love for this disciple, but this disciple wants to learn alchemy, but if this disciple encounters difficulties in earning spirit stones in the future, this disciple will definitely seek the help of Elder Qian. I hope the Elder will not be stingy in your advice then. ”

“En, good, then if you encounter difficulties in the future, come to me, you know where to find me, right?” Looking at Liu Mufeng, Elder Qian asked again.

“Of course, this disciple knows.” Liu Mufeng said with a smile.

“Okay, no need to be more polite. Xin’er, you are the Eldest Martial Sister. You should introduce the Junior Brothers and Sisters, and then tell everyone about my Pill Peak’s rules.” Looking at his Eldest disciple, the Third Elder gave the command.

“Yes, Master.” In response, the Eldest disciple Shen Xin walked in front of everyone. “Junior Brothers and Sisters, let me introduce myself first. My name is Shen Xin. I’m the Eldest disciple under Master, a sixth-level alchemist in the Spiritual Profound Realm. This is the Second Junior Brother, Qiao Yu. He is also a sixth-level alchemist in the Spiritual Profound Realm. This is the Third Junior Brother, Gong Rui, who is a fifth-level alchemist in the Spiritual Emperor Realm. This is the Fourth Junior Sister, Lin Yu, who is a fifth-level alchemist in the Spiritual Emperor Realm. This is the Fifth Junior Brother, Zhang Hao, who is also a fifth-level alchemist in the Spiritual Emperor Realm.

“Greetings to the five Senior Brothers and Sister.” Bowing their heads, Liu Mufeng and the other three immediately saluted.

“Liu Mufeng, come and introduce the four of you.” Looking at Liu Mufeng, the Third Elder said expressionlessly.

“Yes, Master.” In response, Liu Mufeng walked out. “This Junior Brother is called Liu Mufeng, the Sixth disciple newly received by Master today, and a fourth-level alchemist in the Spiritual King Realm. This is the Seventh disciple, Ye Qian, and a fourth-level alchemist in the Spiritual King Realm. This is the Eighth Junior Brother, Ye Fan, who is also a Spiritual King Realm cultivator and a fourth-level alchemist. The last one is the Ninth Junior Sister, Helian Xiaoxiao, who is also the fourth-level alchemist in the Spiritual King Realm. I hope that the five Senior Brothers and Sisters will take care of the four of us in the future.”

“Sixth Junior Brother is too polite.” Smiling, the other five nodded towards Liu Mufeng and the others.

“Junior Brothers and Sisters, from now on, the third day of every month will be the day when the Master will teach us personally. I hope all the new members of Pill Peak will come to the hall on time to listen to Master’s teachings. In addition, our Pill Peak rules are: The first is to respect our Master, and the second is no killing or fighting among us Martial Brothers and Sisters. Third, there is no best, only better. Those who fail the alchemy assessment every five years will be directly expelled from Pill Peak. And fourth, no one can be late for the Master’s lecture. Remember, it’s the third day of every month, thethird period of the day. If there are special circumstances that prevent you from coming to the lecture, you must report to the Master in advance.” Looking at the crowd, Shen Xin repeated the rules.

“Yes, we will follow the teachings of the Senior Sister.” Nodding their heads, the newly chosen disciples expressed their understanding.

“En, all right, Xin’er,take the new disciples to their respective caves to rest. Liu Mufeng stay, and the others can go.” Looking at the crowd, the Third Elder ordered.

“Yes, Master.” In response, the other eight people all left the hall. Only Liu Mufeng stayed back alone in the hall.

“Master.” Looking at the Third Elder sitting on the top seat, Liu Mufeng called out respectfully.

“Tell me, what kind of spiritual plants did you add to your medicinal pill?” Looking at Liu Mufeng, the Third Elder asked directly.

“I added two poisonous plants, not spiritual plants.” Liu Mufeng didn’t hide and told the truth.

“Why use poisonous plants, are you not afraid that people would die if they ate it?” Staring at Liu Mufeng, the Third Elder asked again.

“Master, the disciple first refined all the spiritual plants into spiritual liquid, and then refined the pill. During the refining process, the disciple had already calculated the correct dose of poisonous plants that needed to be added. The two poisonous plants I chose are Red Cloud Fruit leaves that can soften the coldqiandyineffects of theTianyinplant. The other is Leaf Orchid plant which can improve the Pill formation rate and also improve coldqiandyinofTianyinplant. This is a method of fighting poison with poison when the right dosage is calculated. The medicine will not have any side effects.” Looking at his Master, Liu Mufeng explained.

At these words, the Third Elder nodded his head. “You know a lot about poisonous plants.”

“Master is overpraising, this disciple had just read some idle books.” Smiling, Liu Mufeng said modestly.

Looking at Liu Mufeng, the Third Elder smiled and responded, “In one night, you earned more than 500,000 middle-grade spirit stones. It’s not just reading recreational books.”

Liu Mufeng smiled awkwardly. “This disciple understands that the Master thinks that the disciple is not doing a proper job being an alchemist. However, this disciple has come from a poor family situation and had no choice but to earn spirit stones.”

The Third Elder snorted softly at that, “If one day, you become an eighth-level alchemist, the spirit stones will naturally be inexhaustible. There will be innumerable women and duals willing to surrender to you then.”

“Yes, Master’s teachings, this disciple will keep in mind.” Lowering his head, Liu Mu Feng repeatedly agreed.

“En, you can leave.” With a wave of his hand, the Third Elder motioned for Liu Mufeng to leave.

“Yes, Master.” In response, Liu Mufeng bowed and retreated.

After Liu Mufeng left the main hall, he went to look for the Senior Sister and the rest of the group, and received his waist pendant for sect door entrance and identifying him as inner door disciple from the Senior Sister. After rejecting the cave house arranged for him by Senior Sister, he left Pill Peak alone.

“What does Sixth Junior Brother mean by this? Is he not going to live in Pill Peak?” Seeing that Liu Mufeng had left, Zhang Hao’s words were full of reproach.

“Sixth Junior Brother is a person with a Dao Companion. It is normal for him not to live in Pill Peak. There is nothing to make a fuss about.” Shen Xin didn’t care about this. Although Pill Peak’s cave housing was free, it was simple and cramped after all. The Sixth Junior Brother had a partner and two people couldn’t live in those caves. Therefore, it was normal for the Sixth Junior Brother to leave.

“Hmph, all he thinks about is his partner, not thinking about progress.” Speaking of this, Zhang Hao snorted coldly. Zhang Hao was a native cultivator of the Zunhuang Continent, so he has always looked down on the low-level and medium-level continents’ cultivators. Especially Liu Mufeng who was favored by their Master, making Zhang Hao even more disdainful of this person.

Lin Yu also despised Liu Mufeng and the three new disciples. Lin Yu was also a native cultivator from the Zunhuang Continent, so she also despised those hillbillies and country-bumpkins from the low-level and middle-level continents. She felt her class was lowered if she was with them. She felt that the sect was superfluous to select talents from other continents. What talents would be there in those resource-poor continents? All of them were poor cultivators, and they didn’t even have a piece of high grade spirit stones. Each of them looked very disgusting.

Second Senior Brother Qiao Yu, glanced at Zhang Hao and Lin Yu who had disgusted expressions on their faces and then turned to look at Senior Sister Shen Xin. “Senior Sister, I’m going into seclusion for a while, please help me to report to the Master.”

“Okay Second Junior Brother, I understand.” Nodding, Shen Xin expressed her understanding.

“Why is the Second Senior Brother going to retreat suddenly? Are you going to break through a small realm?” Looking at Qiao Yu, the Third Junior Brother Gong Rui asked.

“No, it’s just that I have encountered some problems in alchemy recently, and I want to go into seclusion and research a bit more about it.” With a smile, Qiao Yu responded.

“Oh.” Nodding, Gong Rui didn’t ask any further.

“Second Senior Brother, if you encounter any problems with the alchemy techniques, you can ask our Master. The Master would definitely help the Second Senior Brother with the answer.” Looking at the Second Senior Brother, the Fourth Junior Sister, Lin Yu said with a flattering expression.

“No, you can’t always ask the Master about everything. It’s better to solve some things yourself.” Qiao Yu responded with a smile. Seeing Liu Mufeng refining pills today gave Qiao Yu some different ideas. So, Qiao Yu wanted to go into seclusion and try a few things that he had always wanted to do.

“Oh, that’s true.” Hearing Qiao Yu’s words, the Fourth Junior Sister, Lin Yu nodded and did not say anything more.
