Chapter 279 Mu Xingzhi
Does Mr. Mu intend to watch him die childless?
Thinking about this, the head of the Hua family grew increasingly dissatisfied with Mr. Mu.
Because Liuyue temporarily blocked the spread of the poison, the head of the Hua family tried to keep Liuyue.
But Liuyue rejected him.
These next seven days will likely be anything but peaceful for the Hua family. Rather than getting involved in the mess, she prefers to remain on the sidelines.
After leaving the Flower Mansion, Liu Yue shook off her tail and headed straight for the Ghost Sect.
"Tsk tsk tsk, it's true what they say, people are afraid of becoming famous, just like pigs are afraid of getting fat." Liu Yue sighed helplessly. Every time she appeared, one or two more tails would appear behind her. She was also troubled by becoming famous.
Back at the Ghost Sect, standing at the mountain gate, I was dumbfounded.
Did she go to the wrong place?
Or is it that we came back the wrong way?
Liu Yue stepped back, turned around, and turned around again, but it was still exactly the same! The mountain gate had undergone a complete transformation.
Don't tell me, really don't tell me...
The golden gate was prominently engraved with the words "Ghost Sect".
What sect has a name made of gold?!
Although crystals are the common currency in Kyushu, gold is also quite valuable!
The words "Ghost Sect" shone brightly under the sun.
It's incredibly dazzling! Compared to the previous wooden sign, it's like going from one extreme to the other.
They're either extremely poor, or they practically want to wear their wealth on their sleeves.
Liu Yue walked in with a twitching mouth, not expecting something even more bewildering.
Above the Ghost Sect's plaza stood a statue, gleaming with golden light, its brilliance almost blinding under the sun.
“Ancestor.” Xiao Song came running over, and when he saw Liu Yue return, he exclaimed, “What do you think?! Isn’t it exactly the same?! This was specially made by craftsmen that the sect leader found! It’s even gilded.”
"What is this thing?" Liu Yue's lips twitched, a bad feeling creeping over her.
"It's you, Ancestor!" Xiao Song grinned, revealing eight big white teeth. "Doesn't it look just like you? Aren't you exactly the same?"
It's so lifelike! No wonder they hired such a skilled craftsman at great expense.
"Good, very good." Liu Yue took a deep breath. "I'm extremely satisfied!"
Very well, that bastard Gu Chuan sculpted her likeness into a statue, which stands in the Ghost Sect's square.
Her disciples and their followers are really something!
Seeing that Ryugetsu was satisfied, Komatsu nodded to himself, thinking how beautiful it was.
At that moment, Gu Chuan, who was sleeping in the pavilion, sneezed twice.
The next second, the chair was pulled out, and with a bang, Gu Chuan fell to the ground.
"Grand Ancestor, you've finally returned!"
Gu Chuan got up from the ground, dusted himself off, and smiled like a chrysanthemum.
"Did you see the statue in the square? Isn't it incredibly lifelike!"
boom!
Ouch!
Gu Chuan covered his head where he had been hit, looking aggrieved: "Grandpa, what happened now?"
"You spendthrift!" Liu Yue gritted her teeth.
"It's worth it, it's worth it!" Gu Chuan said quickly because Liu Yue was worried about spending money. "It's worth it no matter how much it costs! Let the glory of our ancestors remain forever in the hearts of every disciple of the Ghost Sect, ouch!" Before he could finish speaking, he was kicked and fell to the ground.
"You're really something. Is this how your master taught you?" Liu Yue took a deep breath. "Starting today, refine one hundred Xuan-grade pills every day. If you can't refine them, don't eat."
After saying that, Liuyue turned and left.
One hundred...one hundred?
Standing there, Gu Chuanfeng was completely bewildered; this was going to kill him!
The reason why the Ghost Sect is in such a miserable state is mostly due to the fact that its sect leader, Gui, doesn't work hard enough in alchemy.
If he could refine a hundred pills a day, wouldn't the Ghost Sect become a force to be reckoned with, overpowering the three major clans?
But what could he do when the ancestor had spoken? He could only obey.
Gu Chuan rubbed his head, which had been hit, wondering what he had done to displease his ancestor.
I really can't figure it out.
-
The golden statue was removed on Liu Yue's orders. She simply couldn't bear to see a sculpture that looked exactly like her lying in the middle of the square; it was too much of an eyesore!
When Gu Chuan learned that the stone sculpture had been taken away, he immediately understood what had happened.
Da Congming slapped his forehead, brimming with wisdom: "It must be that our ancestors didn't like gold, thinking it was too vulgar!"
That's why the ancestor made him refine a hundred pills to earn money for reshaping! Reshaping with spirit crystals! Ideally, purple spirit crystals, because only purple spirit crystals are worthy of the ancestor's extraordinary status.
Thinking of this, Gu Chuan instantly became full of energy.
If Liu Yue knew what Gu Chuan was thinking, she would probably be so angry she'd vomit blood, and might even take his head apart to see if it was filled with mush.
In the following days, Liu Yue did not leave the Ghost Sect. However, after the Ghost Sect was rebuilt, it appeared much more magnificent and imposing.
In the past few days, whenever Liu Yue had free time, she would go to guide Gu Chuan. Gu Chuan had the talent of an alchemist, but his shortcomings were also very obvious.
For example, being too careless! When refining pills, even with the same medicinal materials and tools, a slight difference in the heat can lead to vastly different results, greatly diminishing the effectiveness of the pill!
This is also why Gu Chuan's skill level remains unstable despite years of dedicated study.
The best solution is to practice more. Practice makes perfect, and with hundreds or thousands of repetitions, you'll eventually figure out some tricks.
Elixirs are divided into three types: Spirit Elixir, Profound Elixir, and Divine Elixir! And each type of elixir is further divided into seven minor grades.
Under Liu Yue's guidance, Gu Chuan's skill level became increasingly stable, and he was even able to refine sixth-grade Xuan Dan.
For several days in a row, Gu Chuan complained incessantly.
These past few days have been anything but peaceful for the Hua family. After the birthday banquet that day, the Hua family head invited countless doctors to treat Hua Zixing. But let alone preparing an antidote, these doctors didn't even know what kind of poison Hua Zixing had been afflicted with.
Although Hanako's condition did not continue to worsen, the pain was tormenting him every moment, and he would occasionally let out a painful scream.
Hua Zixing desperately wanted to tell the Hua family head that the person in the secret room that day was Jun Qing! But—he couldn't make a sound, his whole body was paralyzed, he could only stare blankly, and he would faint from the pain several times a day.
Hua Zixing's pained expression caused the head of the Hua family a great deal of trouble.
As the days went by, the head of the Hua family was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
But Mr. Mu avoided meeting him, claiming that he was in seclusion. For four or five days in a row, the head of the Hua family did not even see a shadow of Mr. Mu.
It wasn't until the sixth day that the head of the Hua family saw Mr. Mu.
"Mr. Mu, please, please save my son!"
The head of the Hua family placed all his hopes on Mr. Mu.
“I said that day that there is no cure for arrow poison,” Mr. Mu said with a frown. “It’s not that I don’t want to save the Fourth Young Master! It’s just that I’m powerless to do so.”
Upon hearing this, the head of the Hua family was utterly disappointed; Mu Xingzhi truly intended to stand by and watch someone die.
Mu Xingzhi was Mr. Mu's real name. At this moment, he walked over to Hua Zixing's side and glanced at him.
The next second, he frowned deeply: "Who sealed his heart meridian?"
This familiar technique...
He's been gone for five years!
Mu Xingzhi broke out in a cold sweat. Could it be that person had returned? No, that person was already dead; there was no way he could still be alive! He had witnessed that person's death and dissipation with his own eyes!
There is absolutely no way they will ever come back.
