The Birth of Sword God-Chapter 225 - 196: You Are Mu Bing 9, I Am Not Huo Ding 1_2

"Alright." Nangong Yue nodded.

...

...

On the other side, Li Chunsong had already escorted Chu Huaixu back to the bamboo house.

He looked at the young man before him, growing more and more satisfied.

However, after some thought, he said, "As for the issue of the Profound Celestial Fetal Breath Pill, it's not that the Junior Martial Uncle is unwilling to give it, it's just that in matters involving the Origin Spirit Realm, he always behaves this way."

"You are not familiar with him, so it's understandable that you don't like him."

"If you interact with him more..."

"Ah, forget it!" He felt that the dislike was likely to increase.

Chu Huaixu couldn't help but smile upon hearing this.

It was quite evident that this was the reputation of the Daoist Junior Martial Uncle.

Yet Li Chunsong concluded, "But it's not that the Junior Martial Uncle has any ill intentions towards you; on the contrary, from now on, he will certainly give you more attention than anyone else."

Chu Huaixu heard this, but it didn't matter much to him. Not having malicious intent doesn't automatically mean that people will get along well.

He simply said, "Disciple understands."

After a few more exchanges, Li Chunsong flew away.

The next day, the Second Elder of the Daoist Sect, Tai Tingbai, personally delivered a Profound Celestial Fetal Breath Pill.

"Take it privately, and make sure not to spread it around." Tai Tingbai instructed.

"Yes, disciple understands."

The Second Elder of the Daoist Sect sized up Chu Huaixu, and after a while, spoke, "I heard you're learning the art of alchemy?"

"Yes, I didn't expect the Second Elder to know this," Chu Huaixu tried probing for more information. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"We are aware of the techniques you exchanged for at the Library Pavilion." Tai Tingbai could see he wanted more information, so he simply provided the answer.

Hearing that it was only about the techniques he exchanged, Chu Huaixu felt relieved.

The Second Elder, with a name suggesting a poetic touch but looking and presenting like a farmer, pulled out a Jade Scroll from his Storage Token.

"I've returned late, having been following the Junior Martial Uncle under the mountain for demon exorcism and finding sword attendants."

"I heard from the Junior Martial Sister that you will be apprenticed to her and the Seventh Junior Sister in the future."

"Moreover, the Fifth Junior Brother and others have already given you a meeting gift."

"So, as your future Second Uncle, I cannot be stingy."

"These are my early insights on alchemy. Since you're interested in learning this art, it might be useful to you," he said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, knowing it was brought upon the urging of Chu Yinyin, Chu Huaixu felt a surge of joy.

He immediately said respectfully, "Thank you, Second Elder."

Tai Tingbai nodded with a smile, but didn't forget to add, "However, in the near term, focus on preparing for the Origin Spirit Realm. Alchemy is time-consuming and requires meticulous study, so don't get too engrossed in it right now."

"Understood, disciple agrees." Chu Huaixu acknowledged.

Engrossed in it?

The medicine cauldron [Dao Generating One] serves as my anti-addiction system.

Let it have an immersive experience~

As for himself, he would directly use experience points to enhance his alchemy skills.

After Tai Tingbai left, Chu Huaixu began to "digest" the Jade Scroll.

Soon, he heard the system notification in his ear.

"[Ding! You have obtained the Jade Scroll—Tai Tingbai's early alchemy insights.]"

"[It can reduce the learning experience points and upgrade experience points of any Intermediate Alchemy Technique.]"

Seeing that it could reduce it by as much as forty percent, Chu Huaixu was very pleased.

In the future, when his realm advances, Chu Huaixu is bound to learn Intermediate Alchemy Techniques.

[Dao Generating One] being so extraordinary, certainly cannot be used solely to craft lower-grade spirit pills, which would indeed be wasteful.

After carefully storing away the Profound Celestial Fetal Breath Pill, Chu Huaixu prepared to head to the Liu Family later.

Surprisingly, two acquaintances came by outside the bamboo house.

Leading was a good-looking Daoist Steward, Mo Qingmei, with a hint of demureness.

Following her was someone Chu Huaixu was even more familiar with.

However, due to recent incidents, he wasn't particularly keen on seeing this person. Additionally, he knew that the other party might not know how to approach him.

Chu Huaixu appeared calm outwardly as he greeted, "Disciple greets Steward Mo, greets Steward Niu."

The visitor was, indeed, Old Niu.

For some reason, Chu Huaixu felt that the other looked weary.

As if he suddenly aged several years.

Mo Qingmei smiled as she took a few steps forward and said, "Huaixu, when no one else is around, no need for such decorum, you've saved my life."

On the altar, if not for Chu Huaixu's assistance and solving all the troubles in the end, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

She felt somewhat ashamed, that although she was the leading steward responsible for protecting the outer sect disciples, she was the first to be knocked unconscious on the altar.

Mo Qingmei walked over to the table outside the bamboo house, placing some thank-you gifts she brought on the table.

Seeing Chu Huaixu about to speak, she quickly added, "Eh! They're not anything precious, just things you and Shuangjiang can use in daily cultivation."

Niu Yuanshan awkwardly placed a basket of Spirit Oranges he brought on the table as well.

Spirit fruits of this kind are not particularly precious, just a token gesture.

Seeing his awkward demeanor, Mo Qingmei frowned slightly.

"I asked you to come over because you are most familiar with Huaixu. What's with the unfamiliar look you're giving him?" she rebuked.

Chu Huaixu and Niu Yuanshan were slightly surprised and exchanged a glance.

For [Mu Bingjiu], completely discarding [Huo Dingyi]'s identity made Chu Huaixu seem somewhat unfamiliar indeed.
