A New Opportunity For The Spring And Autumn Elixir After Twists And Turns
The shock that Meng Chao Ran had received from that sentence was significantly greater than a mere earthquake with a magnitude of nine. Instead, that simple sentence had completely smashed his plans apart. Once the bottleneck had been shaken, if it was not immediately broken through in a single attempt, then even if he were to use double the amount of strength in his attempt to break through it at another time, he might not necessarily succeed!
Since his mental state had been shaken, even if Meng Chao Ran was bent on leaving at that moment, he could no longer do so.
“I am not leaving for now. I will need to go into seclusion for a while.” Meng Chao Ran’s gaze momentarily hardened, and he briefly observed Chu Yang. Chu Yang’s expression remained normal, and it was as if the sentence which he had spoken were words said without any other intention. Meng Chao Ran helplessly began to smile.
He had earlier just said that he was leaving, but following that, he instead said that he was no longer leaving. Those kind of unpredictable decisions would originally, most easily, result in the person being held in contempt, but Meng Chao Ran did not seem reluctant, and had just said that out in such an indifferent manner. It was as if that sort of thing was a very common affair.
“Mmm, right. This Spring and Autumn Elixir, Chu Yang shall take it.” Meng Chao Ran gave a slight smile as he swung a hand. A small jade bottle was hurled over to Chu Yang. Meng Chao Ran then said, “Earlier, Shi Qian Shan had also said that Chu Yang’s injuries will require some nourishment. Just use that as nourishment then.” Within that faint smile of his, there seemed to be a slight hint of a mocking intent that was very much quite meaningful……
Immediately, Shi Qian Shan’s facial expression changed drastically!
The Spring and Autumn Elixir was used to raise a person’s martial powers, so how could it be used as a tonic to nourish a person’s blood and body? The sect had that many medicine which could be used to treat injuries, so why should the Spring and Autumn Elixir be used?
That sentence of his was only meant to let his Teacher have a bad impression of his other two Disciples, and nothing more. Instead, why did it backfire to the point that the Spring and Autumn Elixir was lost in a single moment?
How…… how did that came about?
Chu Yang perceptively noticed the trace of ridiculing intent disappearing as it flashed past the edges of Meng Chao Ran’s lips, and he unintentionally gave a secret, bitter smile. Ah, it looks like that Shi Qian Shan’s deceptive scheme had already been seen through by Teacher…… It is only, why had Teacher not stopped him all along?
Moreover, his Teacher had bestowed the Spring and Autumn Elixir unto him, and that was absolutely due to his “The Heavens and Earth do not shift, neither does the stone turn amidst the flowing river”. However, that Teacher of his was truly rather tolerant. For him to not even ask……
After some thinking, Chu Yang still decided to momentarily test the waters. “Eh, Teacher, this Disciple’s martial powers are insignificant, so taking this Spring and Autumn Elixir will also not be much of a use. You should give it to Eldest Martial Brother instead, right? He will then also be able to achieve a good rank during the Contest of the Peaks.”
Those sentences were meant to test if Meng Chao Ran had indeed known Shi Qian Shan’s true character.
Having said that, both of Tan Tan’s eyebrows immediately began to twitch up and down frantically in a chaotic manner. He could not wait to cover up Chu Yang’s mouth, and almost opened his own mouth to begin scolding him: Stupid cunt! Stupid cunt! It is not easy for Teacher to give it to you, so you should have just kept quiet after striking it rich. Why are you still so stupid to give it away?
Shi Qian Shan’s face also revealed a slight hint of expectation.
The gazes of three people simultaneously looked towards Meng Chao Ran. Tan Tan was anxious, whereas Shi Qian Shan’s nervousness and apprehensiveness contained expectations with a slight hint of greed; meanwhile, Chu Yang’s gaze was instead very calm.
“It is not necessary. Your Eldest Martial Brother is also not injured…… so he won’t be needing that,” Meng Chao Ran said indifferently. He met Chu Yang’s gaze, and gave a momentary slight smile. “Besides, your current domain level is also not much different from your Eldest Martial Brother…… Mmm, it will be like this then. There is no need to say any further.”
Chu Yang’s facial expression momentarily became bitter. What Meng Chao Ran had just said obviously contained other meanings. At that moment, he was a Martial Pupil of the Third Grade, while Eldest Martial Brother Shi Qian Shan was instead a Martial Warrior of the Fourth Grade. The difference was not justified by comparing their domain levels, so why did he say ‘both of your domain levels are not that much different’?
