Chapter 41
Jitang and the other two were brought back to Weihai Palace.
When they saw the two doctors, Jin Fengning and Jiang Ruiwei, again, they only had time to bow before they were covered by spiritual power.
Doctors have a kind heart, and the other party is still concerned about their injuries and doesn't care about these empty formalities at all.
After not seeing each other for just a short time, the dark circles under Jin Fengning's eyes became more serious.
Ji Tang: "Senior, you haven't rested all this time..."
Jin Fengning: "Shut up and calm down."
Jitang just shut up.
After the two of them finished checking their bodies, they were quite satisfied. "Not bad, remember not to use your spiritual power. As for you, you should move less and rest."
Seeing Jin Fengning's conclusion, the leading cultivator who was waiting nearby hurried forward and said, "I hope you can stay here for a while. Master and the others would like to know more about Senior Sturgeon Shark King Beast."
Ji Tang was embarrassed: "I have told the seniors everything I know, including the inheritance place that Senior Wang Shou left for me."
"Senior King Beast wants to pass on his legacy to his clan, but I know very little about the sturgeon shark beast tribe. The inheritance is a serious matter. The Wei Hai Palace has protected Senior King Beast for thousands of years and is more suitable to find his successor for the sturgeon shark beast tribe. We can't provide much help if we stay in the Wei Hai Palace."
She turned to look at Jin Fengning and Jiang Ruiwei, "If Senior Jin, Senior Jiang, and Wei Hai Palace need us in the future, we will be there for you."
Jin Fengning and Jiang Ruiwei had saved them, and Wei Hai Palace had taken in two seriously injured people. They naturally remembered this favor and would definitely repay it. Once the favor was repaid, how their relationship with each other would develop in the future would depend on their own.
Ji Tang: "My brother and I have urgent matters to attend to and need to rush back to Chenwuzhou. We really can't delay any longer."
The monk hesitated for a moment and said, "Fellow Daoist, could you please tell me what the urgent matter is? Perhaps our Wei Hai Palace can help?"
Just as Ji Tang was about to decline, Su Jinzhou spoke first, "He is my brother, a mortal, and the bell has rung."
The monk understood: "It's to accompany him on his last journey."
Su Jinzhou said: "It is to save him."
After the two of them talked about this, there was nothing Jitang didn't understand.
She said, "We came to Haijinyunjian Island this time because we heard that there is a longevity pill on the island that can extend the lifespan of mortals."
If Wei Hai Palace could help, it would be a pleasant surprise.
The monk said in a deep voice: "My two fellow Daoists must know that the Longevity Pill is a forbidden drug."
Ji Tang nodded: "I know, but since it concerns our own people, I still want to give it a try."
The monk emphasized, "Going against the will of heaven and changing one's fate is very likely to backfire. You are trying to take life from heaven and go against its will. Even if you extend his life, he will be like a shadow in the light, forced to hide. When the end comes, the result may not be good."
Ji Tang stiffly said, "Thank you for the reminder, but it didn't happen to you, so you can't understand how I and my senior brother feel."
Seeing that there was no way to find the medicine, she said no more, "We didn't find the longevity pill, so we have to go back."
Seeing Jitang's expression, the cultivator knew he couldn't persuade him, so he shook his head and said, "The Longevity Pill is listed as a banned drug for a reason. The fact that you haven't found the Longevity Pill is also the fate of that mortal brother."
Jitang tried to maintain his expression, "Yes."
The monk said, "So, you two Daoists are indeed unable to stay at my Wei Hai Palace. I will inform my Master." He bowed and said, "Take care, my two Daoists. This is my palace's spiritual communication stone. Please keep it. If we need you in the future, we will use this to send a message. If you need anything from our Wei Hai Palace, please let us know. We will do our best to cooperate."
Su Jinzhou patted Jitang's arm, and they both stood up and bowed: "Thank you, fellow Taoist."
They left from Weihai Palace.
The Fenglei Sea no longer exists due to the self-explosion of the sturgeon shark king beast. Ji Tang flies on his sword and carries Su Jinzhou to Chenwuzhou at a rapid speed.
Su Jinzhou saw Jitang was in a low mood and asked: "Are you thinking about Senior Sturgeon Shark King Beast or Qian Chen?"
Ji Tang: "Both. Senior Brother, Senior Wang Shou trusted me, so he entrusted me with the inheritance site and the important task of finding the inheritor. Although we did have an urgent matter and refused the Wei Hai Palace, I still feel uncomfortable. I always feel that I have not completed the task entrusted by Senior, and I feel very guilty."
Su Jinzhou: "In that case, let's wait until Qian Chen's matter is resolved before returning. Then we can go to Senior Wang Shou's inheritance site to pay homage and see if we can help Wei Hai Palace and do our best for Senior."
Jitang's frown relaxed, "Okay!"
She said, "There's also the matter of Qian Chen. When I agreed to Qing Yue's request, I thought that although it would be difficult, there would always be a solution. But after hearing what that fellow Taoist said just now, I'm a little uneasy. I wonder if Master would agree to refine the longevity elixir? And as for defying the will of heaven and changing fate, will Qian Chen really suffer a backlash in the future?"
Su Jinzhou couldn't answer.
He could only console him, "Let's take it one step at a time. If the longevity pill can't be refined, that's Qian Chen's fate. I should go back and ask Qian Chen what he thinks."
Jitang nodded: "It should be so."
It was already the hour of Yin when they arrived in Chenwuzhou, so they first went back to Xuanzong to look for their master, Master Wushu.
People who practice Taoism do not have the common habit of working from sunrise to sunset. When they found their master, Master Wu Shu was drinking tea and playing chess at the top of Ganri Peak.
Ganri Peak is the sacred peak where Master Wushu lives. Jitang and Su Jinzhou had both practiced in seclusion here before.
Seeing his personal disciple, Master Wu Shu's brows lit up with joy: "Who among you wants to play a game with me?"
The two men greeted each other, and Ji Tang came up and wanted to ask his master to refine a longevity elixir, but was stopped by Su Jinzhou.
Su Jinzhou walked closer to the stone table, carefully observed the movement of the chess pieces on the board, and gradually frowned.
Master Wu Shu smiled but said nothing.
Su Jinzhou sat opposite Master Wu Shu, holding the black piece, and after thinking for a moment, he made a move.
Master Wu Shu's eyes lit up, and a look of surprise appeared on his face: "Not bad!"
Jitang stood there anxiously, not understanding why his senior brother would put aside the urgent matter and still have the mind to sit here and discuss the chess game with the master.
Master Wu Shu waved towards Ji Tang, "Master, your tea is cold."
Jitang: "Oh, disciple will go and change tea for Master."
The water used by Master Wu Shu to make tea was morning dew. He didn't use fire magic to heat the morning dew, but rather burned dandelion wood. During their retreat, the children on the peak did all this, but now that their direct disciple was here, Ji Tang would definitely be there to serve.
The small stove for making tea was not far from the stone table, and the little boy Gu Yan brought some fragrant wood and placed it next to the stove.
Ji Tang put the firewood inside and asked Gu Yan quietly, "How is Master feeling lately?"
Before Gu Yan could reply, he heard Master Wu Shu say, "No need to speak."
Jitang stuck out his tongue.
Gu Yan didn't dare to speak, but just nodded to Ji Tang, which meant that he was in a good mood.
Jitang was relieved and made tea carefully.
The osmanthus wood was burning vigorously. Although there was a smoky smell of burning wood, it was not choking. There were also wisps of fragrance that quickly lingered in Jitang's nose.
The tea was ready, and Jitang came to the stone table carrying the teapot.
She replaced the master's old tea with new, "Master, have some tea."
Master Wu Shu responded indifferently.
Gu Yan placed a new cup next to Su Jinzhou, and Ji Tang poured it for him, "Brother, have some tea."
Su Jinzhou smiled and said, "Be good."
Master Wu Shu raised his eyes to look at him, "I think she is not well behaved."
Master Wu Shu started the conversation, and Ji Tang finally spoke freely: "Master, what's wrong with me?"
After Master Wu Shu made his move, he slowly said, "You asked Gu Yan how I feel. He must have something to ask of me."
When Jitang was hit by the words, his mouth stretched into a straight line and he suddenly became a quail with his neck tucked in.
Su Jinzhou laughed.
Master Wu Shu: "And you, you are much more observant than your junior sister. You know to please me first and then ask me for help."
Su Jinzhou stood up and saluted: "Master, you have a keen eye."
Master Wu Shu glared at him and said, "Stop flattering me and start playing chess."
Su Jinzhou sat down and placed the black piece on the chessboard, "Master, you lose."
Master Wu Shu: “…”
Yes, their master seems to be very confident and sure of himself when sitting in front of the chessboard, but he is actually a terrible chess player.
Master Wu Shu glanced at Ji Tang.
Jitang hurriedly tilted his head to study the bark.
Master Wushu: "How is the bark?"
Ji Tang: "The texture is clear, but some places look like they're about to peel off. Master, is it lacking water?"
Master Wu Shu threw down the white piece and said, "Ignorance! The ancient tree has been there for thousands of years, and it has experienced many changes. How can it be short of water?"
Jitang understood: "Old."
Before his master could scowl at him, Su Jinzhou said, "Master, I have a favor to ask of you."
Master Wu Shu knew that he was trying to excuse Ji Tang, so he didn't want to keep nagging him. He took a sip of tea and asked, "What's the matter?"
Su Jinzhou told the story of Su Qianchen.
Master Wu Shu was slightly annoyed, "Nonsense! Since you've entered the Daoist cultivation world, you should abide by the rules of the cultivation world. If you're even thinking about forbidden drugs like the Longevity Pill, then won't you be thinking about it in the future..." He saw Ji Tang staring at him curiously, and changed the subject, "My sect's rule 37: Memorize it!"
Ji Tang folded his hands in front of him, "As a disciple of the Suxuan Sect, you must strictly abide by Article 37 of the sect's rules... strictly abide by..."
Master Wu Shu glared at Su Jinzhou.
It was not a big deal for him to take a look, but he found that Su Jinzhou also had a frown on his face and looked quite troubled.
Su Jinzhou: "Strictly abide by the ten great principles of cultivation... Always bear them in mind..."
Jitang seemed to have some impression, "Remember, cultivation is not... remember... um..." but not much.
True Man Wu Shu sighed to the heavens and asked, "Does the Ten Great Principles of Cultivation mention the prohibition of drugs?"
Su Jinzhou: “Yes.”
Master Wu Shu: "Which one?"
Jitang was powerless and could only rely on his senior brother.
Su Jinzhou pondered deeply and said uncertainly, "The third one?"
Master Wu Shu slammed his palm heavily on the stone table.
Gu Yan shuddered with fear: "Boo!"
Master Wu Shu was even more angry: "What's going on?"
Gu Yan had a bitter face.
Master Wu Shu stood up and pointed at them one by one, "Look at you! Look at you! Real men, you're scared by a slap from me? And you two!"
Su Jinzhou couldn't sit still anymore, so he stood with Jitang and listened to the lecture.
They still couldn't escape Master Wu Shu's glaring and puffing of his beard.
Master Wu Shu: "You two direct disciples, how can you be so ashamed? You can't even remember the sect rules, and you only care about cultivating? Without rules, there can be no order! The two of you can't even say a word, huh?!"
"And you!" He dragged Jitang out to lecture him alone, "Still want to answer first? Just answer if you can! I'm so pissed off!"
Ji Tang was a brave woman. Even though Gu Yan was so scared that he was as quiet as a chicken, she still dared to face her master's anger and stepped forward to hold his arm.
Gu Yan saw her looking up with that gorgeous and innocent little face and acting coquettishly, "Master, I know I was wrong." After saying that, she shook her head gently.
Gu Yan was full of admiration.
Master Wu Shu had never been acted so coquettishly by a little girl before, and he felt a little soft-hearted for a moment, but he was still angry, and his face was twisted and distorted.
Ji Tang continued his attack: "Master, where are the banned drugs listed?"
Master Wu Shu: "The seventh principle, Chapter 9, Article 132, Section 56."
Jitang: “…”
"Master, you are awesome!"
There was no flattery or sycophancy in her words; she truly admired and worshipped him.
She couldn't even remember the number of chapters and articles, let alone the major and minor sections.
Master Wu Shu had seen countless people, so how could he not tell whether Ji Tang's behavior was genuine or not? He calmed down a little, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Stand back."
Jitang obediently ran back to Su Jinzhou.
"We'll talk about the sect rules later. Let's talk about the longevity pill first."
Ji Tang smiled and asked, "Master, did you agree to make the medicine?"
Master Wu Shu chuckled twice and said, "Refine the medicine, Master will refine it for you!"
