Chapter 14: Chapter 14: Fengdan, Reflection

“Yes, yes, yes…”

He Pingsheng quickly cupped his hands.

He Pingsheng had never seen this old man before, but he recognized him.

Because throughout Xiuzhu Peak, there were portraits of this old man everywhere. He was the Disciple of the current Tai Xu Sect’s Grand Elder and also one of the Tai Xu Sect’s Elders. He was the Ancestral Master of Xiuzhu Peak.

A Golden Core Stage powerhouse, Immortal Master Chongyang.

This Immortal Master Chongyang was also the Master of Yu Xuan, Yu De, and others.

In other words, he was also Linglong’s Grandmaster.

This person’s status was certainly high enough, wasn’t it?

“You look unfamiliar!” Immortal Master Chongyang looked at He Pingsheng and asked, “Did you just arrive?”

He Pingsheng nodded: “This junior is from the odd-job class, just an odd-job worker in the Pill Refining Room!”

“Nonsense!” Immortal Master Chongyang immediately fumed, saying, “When this Old Ancestor comes here to refine pills, why doesn’t the pill boy come to greet me, but instead sends an odd-job worker like you? What sense does that make?”

“Where is Hao Yun?”

“This brat was personally promoted by this Old Ancestor from the Outer Sect. Where has he gone?”

“Why isn’t he here to see me?”

He Pingsheng took a deep breath and bowed again to the Grandmaster before him: “Reporting to Grandmaster, Senior Brother Hao Yun had several ribs broken by someone and is currently lying in bed, unable to come and pay his respects!”

“Injured?”

The Golden Core Stage Old Ancestor took a step, covering dozens of zhang in an instant, and appeared at Hao Yun’s doorway. He looked inside and indeed saw Hao Yun lying on the bed with a pale face. He immediately became furious and said, “What happened to you, brat? Who was so vicious as to injure you to such an extent?”

Hao Yun’s face fell: “Grandmaster, this Disciple cannot kowtow to you!”

“Enough, enough… No need to kowtow. Tell me, what exactly happened?”

Hao Yun said, “Yesterday, Senior Sister Linglong, a Disciple under Jade Virtue Martial Uncle, came to refine pills. Because the Alchemy failed, she beat this Disciple!”

“Nonsense… Nonsense…” Immortal Master Chongyang trembled with anger, saying, “If that’s the case, then it’s truly incredibly rude. Is this bringing Karma to our Xiuzhu Peak?”

“This Old Daoist’s decades of arduous cultivation cannot be ruined in an instant!”

“Hmph…”

After speaking, Immortal Master Chongyang moved his feet, and with a whoosh, he flew into the sky, transforming into a tiny, bean-sized figure. In a few breaths, he was gone.

Hiss, hiss, hiss…

He Pingsheng looked up at the direction where the Grandmaster disappeared, unable to help but feel a surge of envy: Immortals are truly wonderful. Flying and escaping in an instant, free to roam a world.

How great would it be if I could cultivate to be an Immortal?

“It’s bad, it’s bad, it’s bad…” The person lying in bed in the room, at this moment, had a look of utter despair, saying, “It’s over!”

He Pingsheng walked over and asked, “Senior Brother, what do you mean?”

Hao Yun said, “You don’t know… This Grandmaster on our Xiuzhu Peak is most righteous and straightforward, hating evil like fire. When he goes back this time, he’s bound to punish Senior Sister Linglong and Jade Virtue Martial Uncle together!”

He Pingsheng was just a young man and couldn’t grasp the intricacies of it. He scratched his head and asked, “Isn’t that a good thing?”

Hao Yun said, “Of course not! Jade Virtue Martial Uncle and Senior Sister Linglong are both narrow-minded people. If I get punished because of me, won’t I be dead later?”

“If the punishment is light, it’s fine; at most, I’ll get beaten again!”

“If the punishment is heavy, I’m afraid my life will be gone!”

“Sigh…” He Pingsheng thought for a moment and said, “Senior Brother… The Grandmaster has already punished them, aren’t they afraid? Do they still dare to retaliate?”

“You, you!” Hao Yun extended his right hand and forcefully tapped He Pingsheng’s head twice with his finger, saying, “Not everyone thinks like you… Some people are narrow-minded and can do anything!”

“Also, they don’t necessarily need to act personally!”

“They can casually find someone, just need to sneak into our Pill Refining Room in the middle of the night, beat me up, and who would know who did it?”

He Pingsheng finally understood and couldn’t help but admire Senior Brother Hao Yun, giving him a thumbs up and saying, “Senior Brother sees things so clearly!”

Hao Yun said, “Clearly what? I was just like you back then. But after seeing more, one can see through things. The human heart in this world is treacherous; you haven’t experienced it yet. Once you get beaten and suffer losses, you’ll naturally understand!”

He Pingsheng nodded in admiration.

After a few breaths, he secretly took out the Gold Bone Pill from his Arms and presented it to Hao Yun, saying, “Senior Brother Hao, this… you should eat it!”

“Gold Bone Pill?”

Hao Yun’s eyebrows twitched. He took the Gold Bone Pill in his hand and upon closer inspection, saw that it had four pill patterns. He couldn’t help but raise his voice, saying, “This… it’s actually…”

At this point, Hao Yun quickly lowered his voice, “It’s actually a High Grade Medicinal Pill?”

“You brat, where did you get it?”

He Pingsheng lowered his head and said, “Don’t ask, just eat it first. It can heal your injuries very quickly!”

Hao Yun immediately straightened his face and said, “You tell me first. If you don’t tell me, I won’t eat it!”

He Pingsheng brought out the lie he had already prepared, saying, “This… this thing was left to me by my parents before they died. They said not to let anyone see it, and they didn’t even give me a porcelain bottle. I’ve always carried it with me!”

“Your parents?” Hao Yun was puzzled: “Aren’t they all Outer Sect Disciples? How could they get such a good thing?”

“This is a High Grade. Don’t look at it as just a First Grade Medicinal Pill; no one on the entire Xiuzhu Peak can refine it!”

“No… I should say, no one in the entire Tai Xu Sect can refine it!”

He Pingsheng remained silent.

Hao Yun asked again, “Are you sure your parents left it for you? You’re not lying?”

He Pingsheng nodded with a sincere expression.

Hao Yun was not polite, saying, “I saved your life, and I’ll eat one of your Medicinal Pills. We’re even!”

Slap…

He slapped his hand to his mouth, and the Medicinal Pill went down his throat.

“Heh… This is really good stuff…” Not long after Hao Yun swallowed the Medicinal Pill, his face became flushed, and he said, “How do I feel like this injury can heal today?”

“No wonder the book once said that High Grade Medicinal Pills and High Grade Medicinal Pills are completely different things!”

“Hiss, hiss, hiss… Holy crap… It hurts so much…”

…

Xiuzhu Peak, Transfer Plaza!

There are two transfer arrays on the Transfer Plaza, one is the transfer end and the other is the receiving end.

Disciples who cannot fly must pass through this transfer array to enter or exit.

Therefore, this place is destined to be the most lively and high-traffic area on Xiuzhu Peak.

And at this moment, three Disciples were kneeling on the Transfer Plaza.

One was Linglong, and the other two were Disciples who had gone with her to the Pill Refining Room and participated in beating Hao Yun.

The three of them were punished to reflect for three days.

The so-called reflection was to kneel on this Transfer Plaza and reflect on oneself.
