"It really is you guys. I didn't expect you to come looking for me." Su Mu suddenly appeared in front of Fang Ruotang and her group.
Fang Ruotang said with a smile, "I promised to have you help me refine pills, but I was busy at the time and forgot to give you the Seven-Colored Lotus. It's the same now."
Su Mu glanced back at the direction of the valley gate, looking troubled.
"I'm afraid that won't work now."
Why?
Su Mu hesitated for a moment, thinking that the matter would soon spread and was not a secret, so she spoke directly.
"Our chief disciple of Medicine King Valley has fallen. The Valley Master is furious and vows to avenge his master."
Fang Ruotang: ...
"No, you haven't found the murderer yet?" Fang Ruotang asked, somewhat surprised.
No wonder the Cloud Depth Continent has been so calm lately. It turns out that those sects haven't found the culprit yet, which is very detrimental to her expansion of power!
Su Mu looked over in surprise.
"From what you're saying, you know?"
"I don't know!"
【Of course I know! But I can't say it. I can't exactly say that before I killed Master Wei Ren, I knew he had killed Canaan of the Qingyun Sect and Xunzhu of the Medicine King Valley, could I? Oh, not only that, but also disciples from several other sects. He was quite a talent; he killed the top disciples of the younger generation.】
Ye Wuxia looked at Fang Ruotang, her eyes gentle as she lowered her head and chuckled softly.
The other five were in the same boat; although they wanted to watch Fang Ruotang's performance quietly, they were afraid that one of them would burst out laughing.
After all, the little girl has become quite shrewd!
How could they not laugh?
Su Mu's pupils dilated suddenly as she looked at Fang Ruotang, and she said uncertainly, "You said..."
He was unable to say what was next due to restrictions.
Fang Ruotang knew, but deliberately asked, "What did you say?"
Su Mu opened his mouth to try, but couldn't say anything. His expression changed, and he asked, "Sect Master Fang just said that you wanted me to help refine pills, right?"
"yes!"
"No, is your memory really that bad at such a young age? Or are you hard of hearing?" Fang Ruotang deliberately spoke her thoughts again, making Su Mu even more certain that he hadn't been hallucinating.
Su Mu looked at Fang Ruotang with mixed feelings, but when she thought of the information Fang Ruotang had just revealed, she immediately extended a warm invitation.
"The Seven-Colored Lotus is a rare and precious medicinal herb. Since we've come to our Medicine King Valley, why don't you come with me to meet our Valley Master? He's more skilled at alchemy than I am. I'll ask him for help."
"……good."
Fang Ruotang pretended to have amnesia, forgetting Su Mu from earlier, and didn't want them to enter the valley, so she talked about the busy things in the valley.
Su Mu called over his junior brother who was standing at the door.
"You accompany these distinguished guests to the main hall, and I will go to invite the Valley Master to greet them."
"OK."
The gatekeeper was only an outer disciple, and he always treated the inner disciples with utmost respect, never asking why.
He did exactly what Su Mu instructed him to do.
Am I smart?
Watching Su Mu rush off to deliver the news, Fang Ruotang was practically smug, unable to resist showing off to the six men in her heart.
[So clever.]
Our sixth grader has grown up.
Yes! You're even smarter than me now. From now on, you'll be our chief strategist.
...
The six people chimed in, each offering a compliment.
Fang Ruotang, who was already quite arrogant, felt light and airy, as if she wanted to fly up to the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun.
[Didn't Qin Bao'er and the others say that each disciple lit their own life lamp, and that the scene before their death could be traced back? This Medicine King Valley isn't very reliable; how come they didn't find anything?]
"They probably used some secret technique or treasure to block it," Ye Wuxia guessed.
Fang Ruotang nodded in agreement.
It must have been Su Mu who gave the signal to the gatekeepers, and that's how they arrived. When they reached the main hall, they could see at least a dozen people inside, all of them on high alert.
[What's going on? I just want some medicine, why is there such a big fuss?]
Fang Ruotang cooperated perfectly, letting everyone know from her inner thoughts that Su Mu was not lying.
There was an eerie silence for a moment before Fang Ruotang broke the silence again, speaking very politely.
"I am Fang Ruotang, the sect master of Tianyi Sect. This is my first visit to Medicine King Valley. I assume that Su Mu has already told the valley master my purpose. I wonder if the valley master could help me refine some pills?"
"Seven-Colored Lotus?"
"Yes, but it's not just the Seven-Colored Lotus, there's also the Chaos Spiritual Root Fruit."
The Valley Master was taken aback. He had just heard Su Mu say that the Tianyi Sect was a sect in the New World.
"The Chaos Spirit Root Fruit can't be refined into anything good; it doesn't live up to its name at all."
"That's because you don't know the recipe. I have it here. I can make pills that will definitely give you spiritual roots if you eat them. Do you think you can make them?"
Fang Ruotang directly took out the pill formula and handed it to the Valley Master.
After all, Medicine King Valley is the most skilled alchemist she can currently contact.
Although Gu Yanjin and the other six had been studying in private, even the most talented people need a learning process, and Fang Ruotang didn't want to wait any longer.
Moreover, she possesses countless such rare elixir formulas, and she intends to cultivate a good relationship with Medicine King Valley, hoping to eventually send her disciples there to study.
Just like in their Dayong, close relatives and friends can send their children to the clan school in each other's homes, which is the same principle.
If you don't give them a little something in return, why would they do them such a big favor for no reason?
The Valley Master was stunned, and dumbfounded as he accepted the pill formula.
Upon closer inspection, he looked at Fang Ruotang with surprise.
"you?"
"Won't?"
The Valley Master swallowed his surprise. It wasn't that he didn't know how, but he had never even seen this pill formula before, and the fact that it could turn waste into treasure showed its importance.
And this newly emerged sect leader just openly showed it to him, which was simply unbelievable.
But then he remembered what Su Mu had just said about Wei Ren Zhenren killing Xun Zhu.
"No, actually, the person most skilled in this art was my eldest disciple, Xunzhu. If he were here, he could easily help you refine it. He went out to train before, but I don't know what happened to him, and he died."
[What did you encounter? You encountered Master Wei Ren! He drained your cultivation and killed you. Not only your sect's disciples, but also outstanding disciples from the Qingyun Sect and several other major sects, did not escape his clutches.]
The Valley Master's breathing became unstable for a moment.
Fang Ruotang raised her hand to support herself.
They deliberately pretended not to understand the reason.
"If the Valley Master doesn't know how to refine it, there's no need to react so strongly. It's alright, I can find someone else to help."
Fang Ruotang reached out to take back the pill formula.
The Valley Master dodged the hand immediately, his face grim, and said, "I will."
Fang Ruotang raised an eyebrow. She knew the reason, otherwise, judging from the Valley Master's expression, she wouldn't have wanted him to help refine the pill.
"My lord, among the spoils of war we seized from Master Wei Ren, there's a storage ring that's suddenly making noise. It sounds like someone is talking inside?" Little Mirror suddenly spoke up.
【What!?】 Fang Ruotang's eyes widened in shock.
