35: Chapter 34: Being Weak is a Sin!_1
35 -34: Being Weak is a Sin!_1
The resonant and forceful voice echoed throughout the hall, with the aftertaste of the words circling around like a lingering melody.
The elder was taken aback.
He initially thought Xiao Chen would admit to it but with a secretive manner, yet he didn’t expect Xiao Chen to be this transparent, leading straight to the point without any concealment.
Looking at Xiao Chen standing on the spot, his back straight like a long spear, and with a spirited look in his eyes, even the elder had to admire, what a peerless hero!
Subconsciously, he overlooked the fact that this young man was also the leader of a tribe of tens of thousands, had made a name for the tribe at a tender age in the outer domain, and was a hot-blooded warrior who killed off the entirety of a foreign tribe in a rage.
Seeing Xiao Chen being so straightforward, the elder, too, didn’t prevaricate any longer and began to introduce the identities of the two, “My name is Hu Guyue, and we both come from the high-quality Shepherd Moon Tribe in the Eastern Mainland Cloud Domain.
We have been travelling across the continent for several years and today, while in the Gu Yuan Tribe, we suddenly smelled the fragrance of elixirs and were overjoyed, so we came here to visit.”
“Liu Yun Domain, High-quality Shepherd Moon Tribe.” Hearing the elder’s introduction, Xiao Chen looked down and pondered for a moment.
Their backgrounds surely weren’t small.
Any high-quality tribe, even the weakest one, would consider the Gu Yuan Tribe as merely ants.
The appearance of a Heavy Floor Realm Martial Artist is indeed a watershed phenomenon.
Wanting to be part of a high-quality tribe, there must undoubtedly be a Heavy Floor Realm Martial Artist within the clan, who is capable of flying high and plunging deep, breaking the river with a single blow, and shifting mountains and rivers – a great martial arts expert.
Xiao Chen’s mind was in turmoil, continuously pondering the elder’s intentions.
It’s not that Xiao Chen was being paranoid, after all, a Heavy Floor Realm Great Martial Artist suddenly appearing here, and being so cordial in visiting, made him have to be extra cautious.
With such strength and a high-level position as an alchemist, what could the Gu Yuan Tribe have that would catch the elder’s attention?
Moreover, even if there was something, in the face of absolute power, he, Xiao Chen, would have to offer it obediently.
The vast land is a place where people prey upon each other, the path of righteousness and kindness simply doesn’t work here.
Gu Yuan might be innocent, but ill fortune often falls on those who have too much!
Especially the warriors of the Towering Realm, each one of them has fought their way through mountains of corpses and oceans of blood.
Their minds have long reached perfection, and the bloody slaughter can no longer stir their feelings.
Just as Xiao Chen was anxiously thinking about countermeasures, the elder’s next words put his anxious heart at ease.
“Clan Leader Xiao, I presume that you carry a heavy alchemy inheritance despite your young age.
May I ask who your teacher is?”
Hearing the elder ask such a question, Xiao Chen finally understood why the elder had been so courteous since he came in.
It turned out that he thought he had a elusive master.
The elder’s assumption was not wrong.
The alchemy inheritance on the continent is extremely rare. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Besides having a strong soul perception, one also needs to have an inheritance.
After all, there are many worthy of being cultivated, but there are only a few mentors.
Haven’t you seen how many warriors have spent their entire lives in pursuit of alchemy inheritance but have ended up in despair, living empty lives for a hundred years?
Who could be the supernatural entity behind Xiao Chen that moulded him into an actual Alchemist at such a tender age?
And due to the elder needing something from him, he had to lower his stance.
Hearing the elder’s words, Xiao Chen subconsciously heaved a sigh of relief.
He seemed to be unaware that his body was getting lighter and the oppression he had been feeling seemed to have left him at some point.
Since the elder assumed he had a mysterious master, he naturally wouldn’t explain anything.
He would go along with the mistake; benefiting from it was of utmost importance.
“Hehe, in their eyes, I must be second-generation alchemy elite, right!”
Xiao Chen internally muttered slander towards the elder, but there was no expression on his face.
He then continued along the line of the elder’s words and said, “I apologize, my master is a Daoist immortal who often disappears for periods of time.
Even I haven’t seen him for half a month.”
As Xiao Chen spoke, he watched for changes in the elder’s facial expression.
He had already subconsciously ignored the mood of the sulking youth next to him.
“If the elder has any issues, when my master returns next time, I will inform him.
If my master…hehe, then I’m afraid there’s nothing I can do.”
Since the elder had gifted him with such a huge backer, Xiao Chen naturally made use of it.
Pulling up a big banner to make himself look powerful, he fired off insincere compliments left, right and center.
In short, as a Clan Leader, he would have to consult his master before making a decision and the date of his master’s return was uncertain.
Hearing this, the elder nodded lightly, showing no doubt about Xiao Chen’s words.
Those old oddballs who have lived for hundreds or thousands of years on the mainland, who knows what sort of peculiar habits they might have after such a long time?
It was quite normal for them to have inscrutable minds and unpredictable movements.
After pondering for a moment, the elder spoke again, “In that case, I can only inconvenience your tribe for a while.
Although my knowledge of medicine is not as profound, I’ve gained some insights over the decades.
When there’s time, we can sit down and discuss the Dao, and explore the secrets of elixirs together.”
His tone carried a hint of arrogance.
Those who excel in a field will have their expertise.
As for his own understanding of alchemy, the elder was quite confident.
A hint of a light smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
At this moment, Xiao Chen was ecstatic.
Presently, although he carried a supreme inheritance in the way of alchemy, he was still like a blind man feeling an elephant, knowing only the half of it.
Now that a master-level figure was volunteering himself, how could Xiao Chen not be excited?
It is best to make a fortune in silence!
Since the old man has hinted, Xiao Chen would certainly reciprocate and feigned seriousness, saying, “I wonder what you mean, senior?
Xiao Chen will certainly do his best.”
Upon hearing this, the old man turned his head to look at the boy beside him, sighed softly, and after a moment of contemplation, said, “Sigh…..
Sixteen years ago, Yun Tian was born during a rare celestial event of a heavenly dog eating the sun, subjected to the cruelty of the shadow energy between heaven and earth, with the cold seeping into his marrow.
Over the years, the coldness in his body has solidified into ice, making him physically weak and unable to cultivate.”
Only then did Xiao Chen turn his gaze towards the boy whom he had inadvertently forgotten.
Upon looking, he finally noticed the difference between the boy and a normal person.
The boy’s face was pale and weak, his lips had a faint purple hue, his frail body shivered from time to time, and his eyes held a steadfast determination.
Despite enduring the bone-chilling pain of the cold, his teeth remained clenched and he stayed silent, reflecting his tenacity.
“In order to find a solution, no one knows how many resources and energy we have spent.
Even if there is a little hope, we must carry on.
Xiao clan leader, Xiao clan leader….”.
The old man noticed that the initially attentive Xiao Chen had drifted off into a daze at this moment.
“Rongyang!”
After carefully observing the boy’s condition and listening to the old man’s description, a prescription emerged in Xiao Chen’s mind.
This Rongyang elixir uses the millennium medicinal material, sunflower, as the main ingredient.
It can eliminate the shadow weakness bone cold, demonic wind in the body, meridian freezing, and transform the frost in the depths of the bone marrow.
The awakened Xiao Chen immediately apologized and suppressed what he had been thinking, saying, “Even the master is helpless.
This coldness is so malicious.
Once I have seen my Master, I will definitely report the situation truthfully to see if there is a way to remove the cold poison from your younger brother.”
“Who is your little brother?
Don’t make unfounded relationships!” Seeing Xiao Chen casually calling him ‘little brother’, the silent Mu Yun Tian immediately protested.
To the boy’s retort, the old man and Xiao Chen merely shared a smile, making no further comment, which greatly upset him.
The old man lightly wiped his wrist, and a rolled-up beast skin appeared in his hand.
He handed it to Xiao Chen and said, “Thank you for your trouble, clan leader Xiao.
This is a high-ranking human-level martial arts technique ‘Pure Elemental Technique,’ consider it a token of my appreciation.”
“Storage Bracelet” Looking at the beast skin scroll that suddenly appeared in the old man’s hand, Xiao Chen’s eyes tightened.
This was the first time he had seen a storage magical treasure other than his own Cave Heaven Space.
But thinking of the old man’s strength and the fact that he came from a high-level tribe, it all made sense.
“Sure, sure” With a smile on his face, Xiao Chen accepted the beast skin scroll and quickly agreed.
It was just like he was offered a pillow when he was sleepy.
His original technique was already overloaded, this high-ranking human class technique perfectly addressed his urgent need.
He hadn’t done the job yet but the deposit was already in his hands.
However, he also understood that what he considered a treasure might be just grass in the old man’s eyes.
Essentially, his own power was too weak.
Thinking of this, his originally excited mood became somewhat downcast.
Xiao Chen escorted the two men out of the mansion, attracting many sidelong glances.
Given Xiao Chen’s current prestige, there were few in the Gu Yuan Tribe who could make him bend so low in seeing off, whilst these two men were clearly not from the Gu Yuan native tribe.
This sparked speculations among the crowd, guessing the identities of the two men.
Just as Xiao Chen was about to turn back to the mansion, a voice came from behind him, “Clan Leader Xiao, do those prisoners of war you ordered to be executed deserve their punishment?”
The noisy street suddenly fell silent.
Everyone was sweating for the speaker.
The boy had dared to challenge Xiao Chen, the clan leader, so blatantly.
Even the guards at the gate all looked at Xiao Chen, waiting for him to give the order to seize this disrespectful boy.
Standing still, after a pause, Xiao Chen laughed loudly and said, “They were too weak.
That is their sin!”
In the vast world, the law of the jungle applies, and danger lurks everywhere.
Being weak is a crime!
