Chapter 275 - 134: A Hundred Years of Great War, Late Foundation Establishment Stage (8k combined chapters asking for subscriptions)_3
Because the immortal-mortal passage was just like what Zhou Mo had described in his previous letter, Liang Sheng didn’t know what to expect. Even with the Black Iron Command, he couldn’t find the right direction.
Wasn’t it said that the beast tide had receded?
Why is the situation with the immortal-mortal passage still the same?
A shadow of unease fell over Liang Sheng’s heart. Could it be that there was some hidden truth behind the beast tide ceasefire?
Nevertheless, whatever the reason, his plan to escape back to the mortal world had become impossible. Thinking about this, he returned to Dan Ding Market without attracting anyone’s attention.
Two more days passed, and the disciples of the Internal Affairs Office finally revealed smiles. Overwhelmed with continuous hard labor, they had almost finished managing the exchange of all the market’s goods.
Only some minor affairs were left. If things would go as anticipated, they would be able to return to the sect by the afternoon.
Seeing this, Liang Sheng decided to take a break and wander around the market. The disciples of the Internal Affairs Office naturally wouldn’t refuse, only insisting he be back by noon.
Without a solid plan, Liang Sheng secretly made his way to where Huang Yifan’s cave mansion was previously. No one noticed him under his concealment.
With just a flick of his Qi outside the cave mansion, he placed down a bottle of elixirs and quietly watched from not far away.
Hearing the movement, Huang Yifan opened the cave gate and saw the jade bottle on the ground. He picked it up and instantly stashed it, his forehead breaking out in cold sweat.
He looked around, and seeing no one paying attention, he returned to his cave. Cautiously he opened the bottle, only to quickly screw it back on.
Although he didn’t see exactly what was inside, just a whiff of the escaping fragrance was numerous times stronger than the Foundation Establishment Pill he had taken before.
It really was a Golden Yuan Pill.
But who would do such a thing? It must be out of goodwill, as who would use a Golden Yuan Pill as bait to trap him?
If this was a trap, then all loose cultivators under heaven would willingly be tricked. After all, this was the Golden Yuan Pill that could help one breakthrough the Golden Core Realm, even the sect disciples found it rare!
Huang Yifan was overwhelmed with joy, yet he couldn’t figure out who his benefactor could be. Then, an idea flashed through his mind as he recalled the days when he was a servant working on the spiritual fields in the Hua Tian Sect market.
Could it be his master?
If that was really the case, how powerful must his master be? Where is his master hiding now? For a moment, Huang Yifan sat motionless, his mind racing with endless thoughts.
Master, where are you?!
I couldn’t possibly repay your kindness even if I died a million times over. It’s just a pity that two of my brothers did not manage to survive.
Huang Yifan then burst into tears.
Time passed quickly. As soon as the affairs at the Dan Ding Market were all resolved, Liang Sheng returned to the sect with the majority of the group.
However, he inexplicably felt as though he had overlooked something, but he simply couldn’t remember what it was.
It was already out of the ordinary for him to have run into Huang Yifan. As for what happens next, it will largely depend on Huang Yifan himself; this was all the help Liang Sheng could provide.
Before long, Liang Sheng returned to the Dan Ding Sect. The sect didn’t seem particularly anxious at that moment.
After all, the issue lay between the Hua Tian Sect and the Upper Green Sect. What did it have to do with the Dan Ding Sect? They were pure alchemists, trying not to offend anyone. Who would be against elixirs? Hadn’t it been like this for thousands of years?
In the Green Cloud Peak, Xiang Chen was pleased to see Liang Sheng returning safe, appearing to be quite steady.
It seemed that letting the junior brother go out was a good idea. It fulfilled his wish and likely contributed to maturing his temperament.
However, Xiang Chen didn’t say too much on the surface. Considering the eventful times, the Dan Ding Sect would naturally focus on healing and preserving their strength.
Over the previous decades, the sect had spent nearly all its resources dealing with the beast tide.
The sect’s plan for the foreseeable future was simple: they had to rebuild their foundation.
Only with food stored at home, you can be carefree.
“Junior brother, the sect has already issued a task. Even though we don’t need to refine pills that frequently, we must personally help with the care of the spiritual fields. The sect hopes that disciples above the Foundation Establishment stage should directly supervise the spiritual fields of each peak, day and night. Because with our cultivation level, casting the Spiritual Rain Technique can quickly mature the spiritual grass. As you know, over these decades of beast tide, our sect has suffered a tremendous loss. We hope you understand and temporarily set aside pill-refining duties.”
Of course, Liang Sheng wouldn’t refuse, feeling somewhat relieved upon hearing this. This would suggest that the conflict between the Hua Tian Sect and the Upper Green Sect did not seem to have alarmed the upper echelons of the sect.
But what about his recent exploration of the immortal-mortal passage………………………………………………………
After some thought, he decided that it was better not to say anything. After all, he didn’t have any evidence. Was he supposed to tell the sect that he was worried just because of Zhou Mo’s earlier reminder?
What a joke!
Hold on…
In that moment, something seemed to click in Liang’s mind. The thing he had been trying to recall from his time at the market – he had forgotten the address Zhou Mo gave him.
Who could have known he got so carried away that he’d forget that address? However, now that he was back at the sect, it wasn’t worth dwelling on..
