Chapter 63 One Shot Breaks Through the Tent
Chapter 63 One Shot Breaks Through the Tent
Qin Si's Dan realm level is decent, but his cultivation path is a bit rusty.
Luo Sifan used the fox clan's spiritual energy to trick him with illusion magic.
"Qin Si, get out of here right now!"
Mu Yuansheng's expression turned even uglier.
Qin Si muttered under his breath, took several steps back, and continued cursing Luo Sifan.
Everyone pretended not to see it.
Deng Liutong was in a good mood, his eyes fixed intently on Luo Sifan, a smile playing on his lips.
"Brother Lin's skills are unfathomable, and I admire them greatly. But I wonder where you obtained the miraculous pill that restored flesh and bone and healed injuries the other day? Could it be that you refined it yourself?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Yuansheng's eyes, which had been slightly confused by Qin Si, brightened. Together with Deng Liutong, he stared intently at Luo Sifan's every move, every smile.
Luo Sifan stopped pretending and laid his cards on the table.
He nodded, his expression sincere yet slightly embarrassed.
"Indeed! This pill was originally called the Immortal Lotus Pill, with a hundred-year-old water hibiscus as its main ingredient. Its effects can indeed heal wounds, regenerate muscles, and nourish the spirit. That day, I was eager for Lin Qianxiu's pill-making reward, so I shamelessly used the Immortal Lotus Pill I had previously refined to secretly substitute for it. I didn't expect that you all would misunderstand me."
Just as Luo Sifan had expected, Deng Liutong nodded slowly.
The legend of the Water Jade Hibiscus has been around for tens of thousands of years and has been circulating in the Hundred Kingdoms of Yunzhou for a long time. It is said that once, an immortal's immortal body collapsed, so he used the jade lotus root of the Water Jade Hibiscus as his body, the lotus seedpod as his head, and the lotus leaves as his hands and feet to recreate an immortal body with even greater power.
With such miraculous effects, how could Deng Liutong not believe it?
Upon hearing that the elixir was promising and Deng Liutong also indicated that it was feasible, Mu Yuansheng was overjoyed and exclaimed:
"In that case, as long as we get the ingredients, Brother Lin can refine this divine pill and save my brother!"
Luo Sifan hesitated, then shook his head.
“Brother Mu is too anxious. Besides the main ingredient, Water Jade Lotus, being hard to find, there is still one missing link in order to refine this pill to achieve its original effect.”
"What's still missing?"
Deng Liutong and Mu Yuansheng asked in unison, their minds stirred by Luo Sifan's actions.
"That is the Nine Heavens Thunder Sea, or the place where thunder falls like rain between heaven and earth, the extreme of thunder!"
Luo Sifan sighed softly:
"The tribulation lightning removes impurities, enhancing the quality of the pill. Only then can this pill be made into a superior grade, possessing miraculous effects that can heal flesh and bones and restore the soul!"
Mu Yuansheng and Deng Liutong looked at each other, their faces filled with doubt.
Leaving aside the Nine Heavens Thunder Sea, the extreme thunderous lands in the world seem to exist only in legends. Where are they going to find them?
"Brother Lin, can you control lightning?"
Those who cultivate immortality and refine elixirs avoid lightning like the plague. Mu Yuansheng felt that Luo Sifan was exaggerating and his confidence in Luo Sifan was greatly shaken.
"I have some knowledge of alchemy, but I only need a tiny bit of lightning to enter the pill."
Luo Sifan pinched his fingers, revealing a small gap to show how small the lightning was:
"Actually, I do know one place in this Thunderous Extreme Land, namely Limeng Mountain and Danlu Peak! I refined the Super Grade Immortal Lotus Pill near this peak last time. The Water Jade Lotus I obtained was a gift from the local people!"
With the location so clearly identified, Mu Yuansheng could easily find it with a simple investigation. Luo Sifan rekindled his previously wavering confidence.
"I originally didn't want to reveal this opportunity. But Brother Mu is in dire need, and it's only right to save lives, especially since Brother Mu's brothers are loyal to the country and their lives hang by a thread."
"I, Lin Xiaozhi, am determined to help! Brother Mu, as long as we get the Water Jade Lotus, leave the alchemy to me, Lin Xiaozhi!"
Luo Sifan spoke with great conviction, her tone growing increasingly agitated. Mu Yuansheng felt a tightness in his chest, regretting that he had schemed against Luo Sifan too much.
Deng Liutong gave Mu Yuansheng a subtle wink:
"Lord Mu! Perhaps we should..."
Mu Yuansheng shook his head slightly, signaling Deng Liutong not to act rashly.
His face turned solemn, and he bowed deeply to Luo Sifan:
"Brother Lin, your noble character and integrity are truly admirable. I am ashamed to say that I have troubled you so much!"
With a swift movement, the four of them were sent out of the jade palace by Mu Yuansheng and landed inside the carved screen.
"Brother Lin! Come on! Let's keep drinking!"
Mu Yuansheng, bursting with heroic spirit, grabbed Luo Sifan and headed into the banquet.
"Let's not talk about business today, let's just talk about our brotherhood! Let's drink to our hearts' content! Let's eat to our hearts' content!"
"Bring the wine and the food! And make sure they're hot!"
Luo Sifan had no choice but to act alongside Mu Yuansheng, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
Deng Liutong and his companion slipped behind the carved screen, but no one knows what they were secretly doing.
The host and guest returned to their seats, their interests in harmony. Mu Yuansheng's subordinates, who were also present, shared the sentiment and began to exchange cups and plates, creating a lively atmosphere.
After three more rounds of wine and meat, Mu Yuansheng, ever talkative, didn't back down and went even further, almost pulling Luo Sifan into his arms for a private chat.
Luo Sifan was having a bit of a headache dealing with it.
Several muffled groans and crisp sounds came from outside the tent, as if something unexpected had happened.
Mu Yuansheng's subordinates, who were near the tent entrance, got up to go out and take a look, but were stopped by Mu Yuansheng, who reeked of alcohol.
"Sit down! It's alright! Brothers, let's continue!"
A deafening roar.
The tent flap flew up and struck those who were near it, causing chaos and leaving a mess of food and drink.
A large hole was torn in Mu Yuansheng's tent.
Lin Qianxiu, dressed in crimson armor and carrying a long black spear, strode in with a murderous aura.
Behind me, shadowy figures loomed, and the sound of their footsteps suggested they were about to surround the tent.
Mu Yuansheng's subordinate, who had been cursing incessantly, even stopped wiping away the spilled wine and swallowed the profanities he was about to utter.
"My lord!" "Vice Commander!"...
The crowd's faces went from cold to warm, and cheers rose and fell.
Lin Qianxiu was filled with murderous intent and high morale, but the unexpected sight of Luo Sifan and Mu Yuansheng almost cuddling together on the throne caused her morale to plummet.
He was holding the long spear rather unsteadily.
"Lin Xiaozhi!"
Lin Qianxiu's feelings were complex, like a barrel of aged wine being poured into her mouth. With a furious shout, she swept through the tent.
Luo Sifan almost jumped up.
The alcohol on Mu Yuansheng's face vanished instantly. Holding his wine glass, he stood up with a smile:
"My dear junior sister! You've dismantled my grand tent, are you feeling any better now?"
The sound reached the main tent, and everyone fell silent.
Lin Qianxiu gave a light snort, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
Mu Yuansheng raised his glass, his smile unchanged:
"Senior brother has made a mistake today and offended junior sister. He should apologize with this cup!"
The cup was emptied, the wine gone.
Mu Yuansheng slowly circled the empty cup, and everyone fell silent. The commander admitted defeat and apologized, and his subordinates couldn't help but feel ashamed.
"In the future, if I ever need to consult Brother Lin, I will first ask my junior sister for help! If I break this oath, may I die outside Zhuolu Mountain and never return!"
Mu Yuansheng's smile vanished, and the imposing aura of the commander-in-chief of the Western Expeditionary Army surged forth.
The subordinates' eyes flickered, their emotions complex.
Luo Sifan stood up awkwardly:
"Brother Mu, you're too kind! Let's talk this out! Let's talk this out! We're all fellow disciples, family, no need for formalities!"
Lin Qianxiu glared at him fiercely, threw her gun aside, turned around, and strode back.
Mu Yuansheng's subordinates glared at Luo Sifan with eyes like knives.
"Brother Mu! Contact me again if you need anything!"
Luo Sifan left with those words and quickly chased after Lin Qianxiu's retreating figure.
Mu Yuansheng gazed at their backs as he slowly sat down, a bitter smile playing on his lips, the wine glass in his hand cracking under his fingers.
"Withdraw the troops! Return to your camp!"
Lin Qianxiu's indifferent and ruthless voice echoed throughout Mu Yuansheng's main tent.
