Chapter 738: Chapter 738: The Ancestor of Qiu Yu
Sitting next to the man was a child dressed in white, about seven or eight years old, with delicate and beautiful features. His smooth black hair was tied into a high ponytail, and he had a cinnabar mole between his eyebrows.
The child, munching on wontons, heard the man's whispers, pouted, and said in a low voice, "Master, if we hide in the human realm, the great demon shouldn't be able to find us, right?"
The man rested his chin on his hand and sighed deeply, "I can hide for a while, but can I hide forever?"
The child was very dissatisfied, his clear eyes filled with barely concealed anger: "Grandmaster! Then let's not help him! Let's just let him die from the fire poison!"
The man glanced at the angry child, raised his hand and poked his forehead: "I owe him a favor. As long as I live in this world, I have to repay this favor."
The child covered his forehead, looking extremely aggrieved: "But...but that great demon came with great force. If you don't cooperate at all, Master, he'll lay a hand on you. I'm just standing up for you!"
It would have been better if he hadn't mentioned it, because the moment it was brought up, the man gritted his teeth: "That damned bastard even went to Fufeng Spring to tear down my herb garden! Humph, what wouldn't he do?!"
The child chimed in indignation, "That's right! The herb garden you built at Fufeng Spring, Master, preserves several rare and extinct spiritual plants. How could you just demolish it like that! You're such a wasteful devil!"
Just then, a few passersby casually sat down at the next table. They were drinking and talking about something—
"Hey, have you heard? A few days ago, a demon escaped from Lingfeng Academy, the advanced spiritual master academy in Lingyun Kingdom!"
"Really? Isn't that our human race's Spirit Master Academy? Why are there demons there?"
"It's said that those two demons deliberately concealed their identities, and their methods were so sophisticated that even the elders at the academy didn't notice!"
"This is terrifying! The demons have broken their promise from back then; they truly are a treacherous race! All demons deserve to die!"
...
The man listened quietly to the conversation of the passersby, his fingertips tracing the rim of the bowl.
The child asked in a low voice, "How dare the demons appear in the human realm? What is that great demon plotting this time?"
The man was silent for a moment, then said, "Although Li Yuan is not a kind person, he is not so untrustworthy as to break his word. I'm afraid this matter did not originate from him."
The boy cautiously looked at his ancestor. Since the ancestor had said so, then... he might as well have a slightly better impression of the great demon!
But there's only this little bit!
The man scooped up some wontons from the bowl, then, as if remembering something, asked, "I wonder how that alchemist who could condense spiritual energy into form is doing now?"
The child asked in surprise, "Spiritual energy taking form? What's that?"
"That's a magical technique that uses one's own spiritual energy to condense into the shape of an alchemy furnace for alchemy." The man said, slowly eating a wonton. "This technique has been lost for many years, and I'm afraid she's the only one in the world who knows how to use it."
After finishing the last bite of wonton, the man took out a high-grade spirit stone from his sleeve and handed it to the stall owner: "Keep the change."
The stall owner was stunned for a moment, then excitedly accepted the high-grade spirit stone. Two bowls of wontons only cost three gold coins, but one high-grade spirit stone was enough to buy his entire stall!
Where did this rich young master come from? He's spending way too much!
The stall owner wanted to express his gratitude properly, but when he looked up, he saw the little boy walking away behind the man.
