Chapter 1361 - 1294: Who Says Having a Reason Means You Have to Go?

With the help of Wealthy Elixir King, Wang XiaoJie has now embarked on the path of cultivation.

And in a short period of time, he has broken through to a Six Star Martial Artist, showing extraordinary talent.

Of course.

The greatest credit goes to the elixir.

The Body-refining Elixirs crafted by Wealthy Elixir King mostly have four or five elixir patterns, naturally incomparable to ordinary body-refining elixirs.

At this moment.

Wang XiaoJie is sitting on the ground, intently reading a manual.

This manual contains all of Wealthy Elixir King's insights and experiences in alchemy.

It's important to know.

Wealthy Elixir King is Qinghai's top alchemist; even in the entire Forgotten Continent and Great Qin Empire, he is a prominent figure.

Not to exaggerate, but in terms of alchemy attainment, Qin Feiyang may not be much better than him.

For Wealthy Elixir King is an alchemy fanatic.

He can do without extraordinary strength or immense power, but he cannot do without elixirs.

Therefore.

These insights and experiences of Wealthy Elixir King are simply a treasure trove for Wang XiaoJie, beneficial for a lifetime.

It can be said.

Wang XiaoJie's current cultivation conditions are countless times better than when Qin Feiyang started.

His starting point is higher than his peers.

"Feiyang."

Suddenly.

Yan Nanshan, Lo Qianxue, and Liu Zhi awaken from cultivation and stand up to look at Qin Feiyang.

"Uncle Yan, Aunt Xue, Mother Liu."

Qin Feiyang bows in respect to each.

These three are the elders he respects the most.

Especially Lo Qianxue and Liu Zhi; besides respect, he also feels guilt and self-blame.

Liu Zhi steps forward, grabs Qin Feiyang's hand, and says with a smile, "Feiyang, there's something I'd like to discuss with you."

"Please, Mother Liu."

Qin Feiyang replies with a smile.

"You see, at our age, we feel cultivation isn't very meaningful. It's better to enjoy life."

"So we've decided to go to your ancient tower and spend our remaining years peacefully with Master Ren and those villagers."

Liu Zhi smiles.

"Indeed!"

"Now it's the world of you young people; we old folks are out of place."

"Rather than worrying and holding you back, it's better to peacefully move to the ancient tower and enjoy our later years."

Yan Nanshan and Lo Qianxue nod with smiles.

"Thank you, Uncle Yan, Aunt Xue, Mother Liu!"

Qin Feiyang looks at the trio gratefully and bows deeply.

Their decision is all for his sake.

Because this way, he has no worries and can roam freely outside.

"Silly child, we should be the ones thanking you."

"If it weren't for you caring for us over the years, we might already be dead, rather than enjoying this peaceful life now."

The trio shakes their heads and smiles.

Qin Feiyang says, "You may not be my parents, but I consider you as such, so it's what I should do."

The trio shares a look and smiles.

Yan Nanshan laughs, "As long as you have such a heart, we're fulfilled. Alright, take us to the ancient tower; honestly, we're quite curious about it."

"Okay."

Qin Feiyang nods, personally taking the three to the ancient tower.

"This big?"

Looking at the vast mountains and lands, the trio is instantly amazed.

A space artifact with such a large space?

Qin Feiyang laughs, "I was also amazed when I first saw it."

"You've come!"

At this time.

Lu Hong flies over, greets Qin Feiyang with a smile, then looks at the trio, bowing, "Greetings Uncle Yan, Aunt Xue, Aunt Liu."

Yan Nanshan laughs, "Little girl, you've grown prettier."

Lu Hong blushes.

Yan Nanshan chuckles and says, "Building the herb garden must be tough. We'll stay and help later."

"This..."

Lu Hong is taken aback, looks at Qin Feiyang.

Qin Feiyang laughs, "The three elders want to stay here to enjoy their later years."

"What elders, be mindful of your words!"

"Do we look old?"

Lo Qianxue feigns anger.

"Uh!"

Qin Feiyang is startled, hastily waves his hand, "Not old at all. Your looks and energy surpass even those seventeen or eighteen-year-olds."

"Chatterbox."

The trio rolls their eyes but their faces are full of smiles.

Yan Nanshan waves his hand, "Alright, you go be busy, we'll help manage the herb garden."

"Thank you then."

Qin Feiyang chuckles, turns to Lu Hong asking, "Where do you plan to build the herb garden?"

"Just outside the village."

"I've mainly considered the villagers' convenience for obtaining herbs."

Lu Hong replies.

"Okay."

Qin Feiyang nods, takes out the Fortune Tree and Divine Infant Tree, saying, "Originally I planned to plant the Fortune Tree in the village, but since you're building the herb garden outside, let's plant it in the herb garden!"

As long as the Fortune Tree isn't sealed, the energy it emits can radiate thousands of miles away.

Moreover.

As the Fortune Tree grows, the radiation area will increasingly expand.

Therefore.

Even if not planted in the village, villagers can still enjoy the benefits brought by the Fortune Tree.

He is also curious, how many talented individuals will emerge from here in the future?

"Alright."

Lu Hong takes the Fortune Tree and Divine Infant Tree.

"By the way, there's this one too."

Qin Feiyang waved his hand, and an ice sculpture appeared, depicting Zhuge Shenfeng.

"Why did you bring him here?"

Even though Zhuge Shenfeng was in a self-sealed state, Lu Hong couldn't help but feel nervous.

Qin Feiyang said, "The castle's space is too small, he's taking up room."

"Where are we going to put him now?"

"In the village?"

"Definitely not, there are so many children in the village. What if one of them accidentally wakes him up?"

Lu Hong worried.

"Putting him in the village is definitely not an option."

Qin Feiyang shook his head, pondered for a moment, and said, "Later, take him to the cemetery forbidden ground, there's a Black Panther guarding it. The village kids can't get close."

"Okay."

Lu Hong nodded.

"Alright then, you two carry on!"

Qin Feiyang smiled, then left the tower and appeared above the temple.

"He's appeared again."

"Even though he used to be a disciple of the temple, he's not anymore, yet he behaves so recklessly here. His boldness is truly unmatched."

"Don't worry, his arrogance won't last long."

"Because Zhuge Mingyang won't let it go."

"Though Zhuge Mingyang is not a match for him, don't forget, many people inside the Hall of Martial Gods are quite close to Zhuge Mingyang."

Disciples below whispered, eyes full of cold smiles.

"Where's Lu Xingchen?"

Meanwhile.

Qin Feiyang scanned the void with suspicion, wondering where Lu Xingchen had gone.

Couldn't it be that he heard the news of Shen Mei's abduction so quickly?

Just as he was about to open a teleportation portal to leave, Lu Xingchen appeared out of thin air, frowned, and said, "What are you busy with? I've been waiting for you for so long, and you didn't come out?"

Qin Feiyang calmly said, "I should be asking you, where did you run off to just now?"

Lu Xingchen's eyes flickered slightly, smiling faintly, "I had something to do in the Alchemy room."

"I see!"

Qin Feiyang smiled and said, "Let's go. It's been a while since we've had a drink together. Let's go to Fragrant Moon Tower for a few cups."

Lu Xingchen was taken aback and asked, "Aren't we going to the Hall of Martial Gods?"

"What are we going to the Hall of Martial Gods for?"

Qin Feiyang was confused.

Lu Xingchen frowned, "Aren't you interested in all the strong people in the Hall of Martial Gods?"

"Their strength is their own concern. As long as they don't bother me, why should I care?"

"Wait."

"Why do I feel something's off?"

"From the beginning, you've been urging me to go to the Hall of Martial Gods. Be honest, are you plotting something again?"

Qin Feiyang coldly stared at Lu Xingchen.

"Am I?"

Lu Xingchen asked without batting an eye.

"Stop pretending."

"How many years have we known each other now?"

"Do you think I wouldn't know what's on your mind?"

Qin Feiyang sneered.

"Then tell me, what am I thinking right now?"

Lu Xingchen teased.

"The Hall of Martial Gods is full of strong people, essentially the cornerstone of the Great Qin Empire."

"If I'm not mistaken, you're urging me to the Hall of Martial Gods to test the waters, to see how deep it really is."

"As the saying goes, 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will be ever-victorious.'

"Knowing the true foundation of the Hall of Martial Gods will allow you to prepare well in advance for the eventual overthrow of the Great Qin Empire."

Qin Feiyang stated.

"Brother Qin, you are indeed incredibly astute!"

Lu Xingchen shook his head with a smile, "Yes, that's exactly what I had in mind. It would be even better if you could take out a few prodigies along the way."

Qin Feiyang said, "So, tell me, why should I do something that harms others without benefiting myself?"

"How could this not benefit you?"

"You'll eventually have a confrontation with the Emperor, and then these people will be your biggest obstacles."

"So eliminating a few now would certainly benefit your future."

Lu Xingchen replied.

"That does make some sense."

Qin Feiyang nodded.

"Shall we go now then?"

Lu Xingchen, feeling delighted, asked with a smile.

"No."

Qin Feiyang shook his head.

"If it makes sense, why not go?"

Lu Xingchen's smile froze in confusion.

Qin Feiyang chuckled playfully and asked, "Who says you have to go just because it makes sense?"

Lu Xingchen's face twitched fiercely; this irritating fellow, why doesn't he play by the rules?

"There's plenty of time to discuss the Hall of Martial Gods later. Since I'm in a rare good mood today, come on, let's go for a few drinks."

Qin Feiyang opened a teleportation portal, pulling Lu Xingchen toward it.

"Alright, alright, I can walk by myself. Honestly, I don't know what's on your mind?"

Lu Xingchen looked at him helplessly and stepped into the teleportation portal.

"Qin Feiyang..."

"I await your swift arrival at the Hall of Martial Gods for a battle!"

But just then.

A booming voice, like thunder, rumbled from the depths of the temple.

"Hmm?"

Qin Feiyang raised an eyebrow and turned towards the depths of the temple.

Lu Xingchen grinned, quickly exited the teleportation portal, stood beside Qin Feiyang, and gazed at the temple's depths, saying with a smile, "Looks like someone doesn't want you to leave!"

"Is that so?"

Qin Feiyang glanced at Lu Xingchen, a barely detectable gleam flashing in his eyes.
