Chapter 131 Snatching a Disciple
“It works,” Chang Hao said, his face a mixture of emotions, not knowing what kind of miraculous medicine it was. “You must have spent countless efforts to refine this batch of pills.”
It feels like I haven't felt this kind of pure and flawless love for billions of years.
"These are all things that are within easy reach, nothing special, as long as they are useful to you." Yuanshi casually put the purple-gold gourd back into his sleeve. Seeing that Chang Hao didn't seem to want to eat it, he decided to go through the trouble of feeding him the medicine tomorrow. How could he avoid seeking medical treatment because of his illness?
"Really?" Chang Hao didn't believe it. He wasn't a three-year-old child. Regardless of his original background, he was now at the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm, just one step away from becoming a Saint. How could it be easy to repair the primordial spirit of a Quasi-Saint like him? "I don't believe it."
Yuan Shi sighed. He knew Chang Hao was hard to fool, but he didn't know he couldn't be fooled even for a short while.
"What's in the pill?" Chang Hao pressed. "If you don't tell me clearly, I won't take it."
“Alright, I knew I couldn’t hide it from you,” Yuan Shi’s eyes flickered, “but don’t get angry when I tell you.”
"Tell me first, and I'll see if I want to get angry." Chang Hao wasn't someone who could be easily fooled; he wouldn't let Yuan Shi make a promise so easily.
Yuanshi hesitated for a moment, then downplayed the issue and said, "I went to all the major stars to extract their primal power, using the primal power of the Sun Star and the Moon Star as the base, and the other stars as supplements, and added spiritual plants picked from the top of Buzhou Mountain to refine this batch."
"That's it? Why would I be angry? I'm more than grateful to you." Chang Hao said with a smile. Yuan Shi was willing to go to the trouble of refining a batch of pills for him, and this kindness deserved recognition.
"You don't blame me for extracting the essence of the Sun Star?" Yuanshi's eyes lit up. Did this mean that he was more important than Taiyi?
“What’s so strange about that?” Chang Hao thought for a moment, “Oh, are you worried that Taiyi will make things difficult for me if he finds out?”
“You care so much about Taiyi, I can’t help but worry.” Yuanshi’s lips curled up.
"You did this for me too. If Taiyi wants to blame someone, let him blame me." Chang Hao's eyes darted around. If anyone was going to extract the most ruthless essence from the Sun Star, it was him. Every night, he and Xiao Shi would secretly cultivate their external avatars.
"Enough with the small talk. The most important thing is for you to sit down and absorb all the medicinal power." Yuan Shi urged him repeatedly. Although it was not a Yuan-replenishing pill, it was still no easy task to make a Star Pill.
Di Jun is very difficult to deal with. He can back down once, but if it happens again, the demon race is powerful. Although Yuan Shi is not afraid, he does not want to get into trouble.
"Okay." Chang Hao sat down cross-legged to digest the effects of the medicine.
……………………
Holding the purple-gold gourd, Yuanshi walked lightly and spiritedly, tirelessly traveling back and forth between Lishan and Kunlun every day, treating the endless stream of people who came to seek his master as nothing.
Tongtian was completely baffled. "Big brother, look at second brother, he carries the gourd to Lishan every day. Why doesn't he just give the gourd to Chang Hao?"
Laozi, calm and collected, said earnestly to the simple-minded Tongtian, "Tongtian, don't concern yourself with your second brother's affairs with Chang Hao. Let him do whatever he wants." What other reason could there be? Isn't it just to find an excuse to run to Lishan a few more times?
Tongtian raised an eyebrow. He should also find an excuse to visit Lishan more often; his favorite disciple was still there.
Moreover, he had calculated that the master-disciple relationship was preordained, and they were destined to be together. He only needed to work on both fronts, and he was sure he could achieve his goal.
No, Tongtian almost jumped up. Could it be that his second brother was trying to steal his disciple?
Come to think of it, is it him who is more patient in handling miscellaneous matters or his second brother who is more patient in handling affairs? With the acceptance of disciples imminent, his second brother also has good plans. Yaochi is the master's pageboy, so naturally he cannot become a disciple, but Duobao is not.
Tongtian couldn't sit still any longer and rushed to Lishan.
At this moment, Yuanshi was pouring out today's dose of pills, having become addicted to feeding medicine. "Chang Hao, come on, it's time to take your medicine."
Chang Hao's hand holding the sword trembled slightly. He had a psychological trauma; Yuan Shi's tone reminded him of the eunuch carrying poison who said, "Your Majesty, please administer the medicine..."
"Yuanshi, why don't you just put the pills down? I'll remember to take them." Chang Hao sheathed his sword and stopped his cultivation for the day, speechless. Yuanshi, this is going to give me psychological trauma.
"No, I'm not at ease. I need to supervise you as you eat it all." Yuanshi wasn't just talking nonsense. The Qi of the Three Pure Ones is rare, and it's impossible for his eldest and third brothers to give it up next time. The effects of his Jade Pure Qi alone are definitely not as good as the Qi of the Three Pure Ones.
In order to obtain that rare Replenishing Pill, the necessary preparatory pills in the early stages absolutely cannot be skimped on.
Looking at the pill brought to his lips, Chang Hao reluctantly picked it up and swallowed it. Yuan Shi withdrew his hand in disappointment. In that instant, his heart fluctuated like the sound of a zither, experiencing extraordinary ups and downs.
“I said, can’t you eat a few more pills a day? Do you have to eat one a day for forty-nine days?” Chang Hao felt that the time could be shortened. It was not good for Yuanshi Tongtian to keep running around like this. “Leave the pills to me. You don’t need to run around and go through all the trouble just to feed me one pill.”
If Chang Hao hadn't trusted Yuan Shi completely and known that Yuan Shi had no ill intentions, he wouldn't have needed to resort to such roundabout methods to kill him; otherwise, he would have suspected that the elixir was tainted.
That's really suspicious.
“No,” Yuanshi refused decisively. “The daily digestion of medicinal power is limited. It’s not easy for my elder brother to start the furnace; it shouldn’t be wasted.” It was possible, but then Yuanshi couldn’t use public office for private gain.
"Second Brother, Chang Hao, so you're here! I've been looking for you everywhere." Tongtian suddenly appeared, and Yuanshi's heart skipped a beat. He glared at Tongtian with hostility, but Tongtian didn't notice.
"Do you need something?" Since Tongtian had come all the way to Lishan, Chang Hao naturally didn't think that Tongtian had come to see Yuanshi.
“Of course,” Tongtian said without avoiding Yuanshi, his usual casual demeanor replaced by a serious expression. “I have a very important matter to discuss with you. It is of utmost importance and cannot be done without your approval.”
Tongtian stroked his waist-length hair. Considering that he had cut his hair for Chang Hao, Chang Hao had to put in a good word for him.
"If it's a difficult matter, don't speak up, lest you put Chang Hao in a dilemma." Yuan Shi watched from the side, fiercely protecting his own, but unfortunately, his side was on the outside.
"Second Brother, you should rest for now and not eavesdrop on my discussion of important matters with Chang Hao." Tongtian already suspected that Yuanshi was here to take people away from him, so he naturally wanted to invite Yuanshi aside first.
"What is it that you say that I can't hear?" Yuanshi refused to leave, and what could Tongtian do to him?
Tongtian glared at Yuanshi, then his eyes darted around. He grabbed Chang Hao's sleeve and shook it. He knew Chang Hao was susceptible to this trick; every time Yaochi used it, Chang Hao would agree to anything Yaochi asked.
"Chang Hao, please let your second brother leave for a while. I'm embarrassed to talk to you if he's here."
Tongtian was thankful that he looked like a teenager, otherwise Chang Hao would definitely have gotten goosebumps.
“Alright, Yuanshi, I’ll listen to what Tongtian has to say. Why don’t you… step aside for a bit?” Chang Hao winked at Yuanshi. He wanted to hear what it was about first. If Yuanshi was there, Tongtian probably wouldn’t say anything.
Chang Hao understands what a rebellious kid is like; he loves to go against his family and won't listen to anything they say.
"Alright, I'll head back to Kunlun today." Yuanshi was also curious about what Tongtian had to say that he had to keep from him, so he let Chang Hao sound him out.
Although Yuanshi had said he would no longer control Tongtian, given Tongtian's bad past, it was best to keep some things in mind.
In addition, the trials and tribulations that Yuanshi set up for the many people who came to Kunlun to seek a master have not yet been completed. Today, Chang Hao is obviously entangled with Tongtian, so he might as well go back to Kunlun first.
