Chapter 40 Guiyuan Sect Danfeng 6
"Junior Sister, you're here!" Cheng Jiu dismounted from the crane but didn't see Senior Sister Yingyue. However, the door to the main room was wide open.
As soon as Cheng Jiu entered the room, she was seen by Senior Sister Ying, who was lying on the bed, and she greeted her.
The other person's face was pale and bluish, as if they had been poisoned. Cheng Jiu asked with concern, "Senior Sister, what happened to you?"
"Did I go to see Wen Sishu yesterday?"
"Ok?"
"As it turns out, Wen Sishu's alchemy room was next to Sixth Senior Brother's, and it exploded."
"Senior Brother Wen, are you alright?" Cheng Jiu asked with concern.
"I'm still lying in bed!"
"Then what is it, Senior Sister...?" Cheng Jiu returned to the main topic.
"My eldest brother locked up my sixth brother in solitary confinement. He told me to call my third sister over, but I never expected that she would poison me as soon as she opened the furnace!" Yingyue couldn't help but sigh when she thought of this unfortunate experience.
"When I woke up, I saw my eighteenth senior brother taking care of me. He even took out some pills, saying that Master had asked him to give them to me to heal my injuries."
"I wasn't on guard and ate it right away. I never expected he'd take the wrong pill—the one he made himself—and that's how I ended up like this." Lying in bed, Yingyue thought about her unfortunate experience and couldn't help but shed a tear of bitterness.
"Eighteenth Senior Brother?" Cheng Jiu had heard of this name on his very first day at Danfeng. His pills had caused the spirit beasts at the rental shop a great deal of suffering, and their parents had come knocking on the door.
“Yes.” Yingyue nodded affirmatively: “Junior sister, as someone who has been through it, I advise you to stay far away from your eighteenth senior brother’s pills in the future, no, to be precise, stay far away from him as well.”
"What's wrong with him?" Cheng Jiu asked curiously.
"Eighteenth Senior Brother, he has a single gold spiritual root. Back then, both the Body Cultivation Peak Master and the Weapon Cultivation Peak Master wanted to take him as their disciple."
However, he only wanted to become a disciple of Danfeng. Originally, his master was unwilling to accept him, but he couldn't resist his pleading and finally took him in.
Originally, his master didn't teach him diligently; he just wanted him to know the hardships of alchemy so that he would give up on his own.
It turned out that he had a remarkable talent for alchemy, and after learning the formulas, he was able to refine pills.
However, he did not have fire or wood spiritual roots, so he could neither detect nor remove the impurities from the spiritual medicine.
Furthermore, due to his single metal spiritual root, the metal spiritual energy and spiritual medicine underwent some wondrous changes during the alchemy process.
Therefore, the pills he concocted, while effective, also had side effects. Just like the antidote he fed me; although the poison was neutralized, my face wouldn't recover in at least ten days to two weeks.
Moreover, the eighteenth senior brother did not properly preserve his pills at all; they looked almost identical to ordinary pills.
However, he didn't categorize them, so they were easily mixed with some ordinary pills, and even he himself couldn't recognize them.
The pills he refines are quite cheap, and some of the younger disciples who are greedy for bargains are very welcoming of his pills. "Yingyue complained about her eighteenth senior brother while lying on the bed.
"Junior Sister, we'll have to wait a while before we go to the secret realm. Your Senior Brother Wen and I are in this situation!" The senior sister sighed and wiped away a tear.
Cheng Jiu expressed his understanding; poor Senior Sister Ying, she was quite unlucky.
She stayed with Yingyue for a while before taking her leave, after all, she couldn't show too much favoritism, as there was still her senior brother Wen who was seriously injured and in bed!
Senior Sister Ying is a female disciple, and Wen Sishu is a male disciple, even though they entered the sect at the same time.
However, the houses are still quite far apart. After passing through a large bamboo forest and then going around a big tree, you walk several miles before you see a house surrounded by green bamboo.
The courtyard was large, unlike Yingyue's courtyard, which was planted with pink peach trees. Here, there was a row of spirit bamboo.
There was a sense of leisurely ease, like a hermit in the wilderness. The door was half-closed, and Cheng Jiu certainly couldn't just go in like he did when he entered Senior Sister Ying's room.
Cheng Jiu knocked politely on the door. "Come in!"
Cheng Jiu went in and saw the bald man lying on the bed.
Bald? Before she could get a good look, Wen Sishu quickly pulled the blanket over her head.
"Master, junior sister, what brings you here?" Wen Sishu was usually a boy who cared a lot about his image.
"My senior sister told me it was about you, so I came to visit you." She took out a bottle of Ice Spirit Elixir from her ring, which is a very good elixir for treating burns.
"Don't worry, junior sister, I was only burned twice by the pill fire. I also have a single fire-type spiritual root, so I'll be fine in a few days."
"By the way, how is Senior Sister? I heard she was poisoned by Third Senior Sister's pills," Wen Sishu asked with a hint of concern.
"She said that her eighteenth senior brother took care of her after she woke up."
Hearing Cheng Jiu mention Wen Sishu, I felt an overwhelming sense of sympathy for my senior sister. Suddenly, I felt less unlucky. Senior sister, I will pray for you!
A man dressed in a dark blue, smartly equipped outfit, carried an unusual medicine chest on his waist. He looked like a compassionate healer from the mortal realm, dedicated to relieving suffering.
At first glance, you'll unconsciously feel a sense of goodwill towards him, thinking he's an honest, reliable, and kind-hearted person.
"Junior Brother, you're awake! That's great! Master sent me to bring you some medicine." The senior brother rummaged through his medicine chest, took out a bottle of pills, and handed it to Wen Sishu. "Junior Brother, why are you still covering your head? Be careful your hair won't grow back!"
Wen Sishu chuckled as he took the pill and placed it aside: "Eighteenth Senior Brother, isn't this a coincidence? Junior Sister just gave me a bottle of Frost Elixir, and I didn't want to disappoint her, so I drank it. I can't take the pill Master gave me for now."
Let me introduce you, Junior Sister. This is Senior Brother Li Hanze, the Eighteenth Senior Brother. And this is Junior Sister Cheng Jiu, a disciple of Venerable Qingxu.
"Oh, so you're that junior sister who used top-grade spirit stones to draw qi into her body and compressed her spiritual energy during Foundation Establishment! I've heard so much about you." The eighteenth senior brother smiled sheepishly.
Cheng Jiu felt that after being hit by two swords, this thing was just not going to get through, right?
That's it, she thought she was going to be famous for all time in the cultivation world, but as a negative example.
Cheng Jiu twitched the corners of his mouth and flattered with a fake smile: "Not at all, not at all. Senior Brother's reputation is also very high. When I first entered Dan Peak, I heard that Senior Brother had made the spirit beasts at the rental place jump around with medicine. I heard that the other party also invited an elder. As expected of Senior Brother, you can do things that ordinary people cannot."
The eighteenth senior brother said sheepishly, scratching his head, "No, no, junior sister, you're exaggerating too much. It's just that the spirit beasts are too weak. I'm just helping them train. Junior sister, you flatter me too much!"
"..." Cheng Jiu listened in silence for a while, staring at him, wondering if this senior brother was a natural black-hearted person.
Wen Sishu, who had his head covered, couldn't help but sit up: "Senior brother, did you deliberately leave the pill there?"
"Don't they really like this? Every time I feed them pills, those spirit beasts seem very happy. It's rare to find so many that like my pills, so every time I..." The eighteenth senior brother chuckled twice.
Wen Sishu gasped, surprised that he thought that way. If it weren't for his honest face, it would be hard to suspect that he did it on purpose.
Otherwise, he would definitely be blacklisted by the rental agency now.
Wen Sishu stared intently at his eighteenth senior brother. The other man just smiled innocently: "Then remember to take your medicine later, junior brother. I'm going to find my junior sister. Master also asked me to bring her some medicine."
Watching their eighteenth senior brother's departing figure, the two focused their attention on the bottle of pills he had brought.
Wen Sishu poured out a pill from the pill bottle.
"Junior Sister, do you think this pill was made by Senior Brother or Master?" Wen Sishu dared not try the pill lightly.
Cheng Jiu carefully sensed it and confirmed, "It was refined by Elder Yao, and there is no trace of golden spiritual energy in it."
Wen Sishu trusted Cheng Jiu, swallowed it, waited a while, and seeing no side effects, let out a long sigh of relief and complained:
"The Eighteenth Senior Brother is so wicked! No wonder the senior brothers and sisters said that the Eighteenth Senior Brother is a black-hearted steamed bun. He must have been trying to scare me just now!"
My senior sister and I didn't believe him at all; we were deceived by his appearance and always thought he was a kind-hearted person.
No wonder his master accepted him as his only disciple who didn't possess wood or fire spiritual roots.
Senior brothers and sisters are all black-hearted. Cheng Jiu was a little curious whether he had deliberately taken the wrong pills for Senior Sister Ying.
Cheng Jiu shared his thoughts with Wen Sishu, whose eyes lit up: "Great! Then your junior sister, go quickly, and remember to share anything unusual!"
Hearing his words, Cheng Jiu couldn't help but glance at him. Just a moment ago he was concerned about Senior Sister Ying, and now he actually wants to see her make a fool of herself. Ha, fickle man!
Everything seemed normal on Senior Sister Ying's side as well. Having been tricked before, Senior Sister Ying was still a little shaken and looked suspicious: "Could it be that Senior Brother Eighteen has had a change of heart?"
The three of them were guessing what their eighteenth senior brother was up to.
On the other side, Danfeng Hall.
The eighteenth senior brother looked pitifully at the eldest senior brother who was holding him: "Eldest senior brother, I've already given the pills to the two junior brothers and sisters. So this confinement..."
"Ha, I say you've really made something of yourself!" Senior Brother Anqi said with exasperation, "I told you to take good care of your junior sister, and look what you've done to her! A beautiful girl, turned into a sickly ghost."
If Master finds out that you, as the senior brother, are bullying the junior sister, he'll be lucky if he doesn't punish you with three months of confinement!
You didn't do anything strange when you gave the pills to your junior brothers and sisters this time, did you?
(The Sickly Ghost is a low-level ghost in the ghost realm, transformed from mortals who died of illness. It is bluish-white all over and looks like it will soon die.)
"No, no." The eighteenth senior brother would never admit that he had scared his two junior brothers and sisters. Besides, how could this be called scaring? It was all their fault for not believing him.
Looking at his eighteenth senior brother's honest and simple expression, An Qi was a little suspicious. After all, he had cleaned up countless messes for him before, and he always had the same honest and kind-hearted expression.
The group of people he had tricked were still holding his hand, saying that the Eighteenth Senior Brother was a good kid and that An Qi should take good care of him and not let others lead him astray.
Senior Brother Anqi wanted to roll his eyes; they were all the kind of people who were sold out and then still paid the sellers for it.
He knew this guy was ruthless, but he still had to clean up his mess like a mother hen.
He grew angrier the more he thought about it, and waved his hand: "Go back now, you're grounded for three days."
"Senior brother, this won't do! I get itchy all over if I don't refine pills for a day!" the eighteenth senior brother wailed.
"If we don't leave now, it'll be seven more days!"
"I'm leaving right now, I'm leaving right now." The eighteenth senior brother didn't dare to provoke An Qi at all.
