BXBX NOVEL Chapter 60 Returning A Hero
I left the city lord\'s mansion. There was no one outside. Well, what did I expect? It had been three whole days since I last entered this place. Everyone probably left to their own manors. I did not know why Du Xiangling and Cai Lien were meditating for that long. I never had cultivation sittings like that. My method of cultivation, the Heaven Devouring Art, was hands on, and I had to move to cultivate.
"I guess I just have to go to the Liu Family Manor. What else is there to do?" I said to myself as I walked towards home. This was probably going to be the last time that I was going to go there in a long time. After this, I was going to another sect and who knew when I would return?
I quickened my pace and arrived at the Liu Manor. The guards at front looked at me and their eyes opened wide.
"Yo-Young master Liu Feng! It is an honor! I shall inform the elders of your arrival. I shall do that immediately." the guard stammered as he ran into the path. I looked at this with a smile. Finally, I was no longer the idiot young master. Everyone who looked at me had to look at me with some degree of respect. This felt good.
I strolled in and went back home. My father was outside, practising some tai chi.
"You are back, Feng\'er. It looks like you had a few gains from the Spirit Jade Pool. Of course, I hope that the gains that you had were more than just a simple increase in cultivation, but I can\'t say anything until you go to Sky Heaven\'s sect. They shall see if you have any future at all." he said.
I nodded.
"Where is mother. I drowned myself in practice for the last few days and I do not want to leave without spending a little time with her." I asked.
"Good, you at least have some common sense and are not leaving the parents who raised you. She is inside. But hold that thought for a moment. Why are you here so early? I thought that you were going to stay in the Spirit Jade pool for three days and then get another six hours for the skill selection? Why are you a whole six hours early?" he asked.
"Well.... I might have made a little mistake in the Spirit Jade pool, in that I tried to find out what was beneath the pool. Something happened, and I was expelled out of the pool." I said.
"You did what?! You wasted a heaven given opportunity. Now, he is never going to let you enter the pool again because you offended him, you idiot." my father snarled.
"He? This confirms that there is indeed someone powerful inside the pool. I wonder who he is." I thought to myself.
"I will go inside and talk to mother, then." I said as I quickly escaped the meeting with my father. The rest of the day was to be expected. All I did was get praises from everyone in the clan, except for Liu Xin\'s side. I did not even get to see them at all. Something must have happened to him, because no one even mentioned them.
After a huge banquet, I sat down in my room, heaving a sigh of relief. With this, the beginning of my journey was coming to an end. Now, I had a little resting period before I had to start running again.
"Wait a minute! There is still that pill that Cai Lien wanted me to refine. God, I need to check what it is. If I can get on the good books of the Cai family, then it will help me when I get to a bigger stage in the future. It should help me in the royal family as well, considering that the Cai family is from there." I realized.
I took out the spatial ring that Cai Lien gave me and took a quick look at what was inside. There were a few jade boxes with medicinal herbs within them. There was also a piece of parchment within it with a recipe. On top of the pill recipe were the words \'Cloud Suppressing Pill\'.
"The Cloud Suppressing Pill? Isn\'t that a pill that acts as an anti toxin? Is someone poisoned in the Cai family? Must be pretty high up, for Cai Lien to say that whoever makes this pill would have the Cai family\'s gratitude. Thank god that the Alchemy Basic skill book also has this recipe and I know how to make the pill." I thought to myself.
But, this was not the right time to make the pill. It was already late in the day. I could not make any huge sound, or everyone would wake up and would find out that I was an alchemist. Too many people already knew and I could not increase that number.
I decided that I would go to the inn that I always went to and do this there. I put everything aside and fell on the bed.
Looking at the ceiling, I fell into deep thought.
"The Sky Heavens Sect... This is going to be the next chapter of my life. I have to get to the Xiantian realm within the next few years. This is going to be a very difficult ride. Not a single person in the Kaishi city is Xiantian realm. If I have to get there in so little time, then I need to have very fruitious encounters. Looks like I have to use my luck stat to the max."
Ping!
