Chapter 1017: Back to Yueguang Peak

Cough!

This single sound was enough for the Immortal Sun Emperor and the Moon Goddess to stop the kisses they had shared mutually for the first time. Even though Shen Jueyang was reluctant to let go of his beloved, before the elders he didn’t have the face to cause any more embarrassment. Yue Xuexia remains expressionless behind her veil while Shen Jueyang feels like he had lost a chance to get more from his beloved.

Principal Wu Yao seeing the annoyed expression on his second disciple’s face, he felt smug. He wouldn’t allow this bastard to bully his beloved disciple.

He said, "What are you still doing here? Jueyang, bring out the tables and chairs for the guests."

"I know~. You old man truly likes to tease me. Hmp!" The Immortal Sun Emperor said as he prepared all tables and chairs for the group of guests from the Pill Tower and some people from the Alchemy Peak.

As for Yue Xuexia, she was pulled over by her master to sit beside him after commanding the puppets to serve some tea and dessert to the guests. She had also ordered them to prepare a feast for the group as well. After the guests were all settled, Shen Jueyang took a seat on the empty seat of Yue Xuexia who is only on the opposite side of the old man, Wu Yao.

Seeing everyone had been settled, Yue Xuexia was the first one to make a move. She pulled out the two heavenly flames she got from trading that perfect quality Longevity Pill. The moment the two heavenly flames one yellow with dark green shade and the other is dark blue with purple shade. The heavenly flame with yellow and dark green shade is called Nether Lion’s flame, ranked at least 20th in the overall ranking of the heavenly flames. The second heavenly flame with dark blue color and purple shade is called the Deep Sea Coral Flames ranked 19th in the overall ranking of the heavenly flames.

Both flames are exquisite on their own and more powerful than ordinary special flames that the Immortal Sun Emperor had given to the alchemist of the Pill tower. The Nether Lion Flame had floated to the Alchemy Peak Master, Han Li while the Deep Sea Coral Flames floated in front of Grand Elder Li Houye. The Han Brothers were already given heavenly flames by Yue Xuexia before. Something she had asked from Shen Jueyang created by his power. Seeing two heavenly flames floated into two groups everyone was surprised by such fairness. They’ve never expected that the Holy Saintess would be willing to give away such treasure to the academy without hesitation.

Peak Master Han Li asked, "Saintess, this..."

"Oh... I almost forgot..." The Moon Goddess waved her hand and countless cauldrons of different grades fell around them. Most were at silver, gold and spirit grade. There are two semi-divine grade cauldrons which floated to Alchemy Peak Master Han Li. As for the King-grade cauldron, there are twenty and it was split into two groups which had ten cauldrons each. Ten for the Pill Tower and ten for the Alchemy Peak of the Black Cloud Academy.

Yue Xuexia said, "I had already given two semi-divine grade cauldrons to the Pill Tower, these two are for Martial Uncle Han Li to handle. The king-grade ones can be split equally for the two groups. As for the spirit, gold and silver. You guys can talk about how to split it among yourselves."

"Mistress, what should be done about the creation scroll?" Alchemist Han Siri asked. He is worried that he would waste such a treasure with his limited capabilities when it comes to pill recipes.

The Moon Goddess asked, "Don’t listen to what that birdman says. The words he said were something just to confuse that one from the Yun Clan. This creation scroll cannot gauge the capabilities of the alchemist. It only tests if the written pill recipe exists or is plausible."

"Is it possible to write your own pill recipe?" Alchemist Han Siri asked.

Yue Xuexia said, "Yes. If you have some pill recipes made and unsure if it’s complete or not, this scroll will complete it for you or make some suggestions to make a complete new pill recipe. However, since the use of it was limited, I suggest you just write a high grade pill recipe and save the materials, especially the immortal herbs. Those things can be replanted."

"But Mistress, I don’t know much about planting," Han Siri said while scratching his head.

The Moon Goddess thought for a while and recalled about the Book of Divine Pill Prescriptions he had received from the system and took it out from her system storage. She placed the book before everyone and said, "Then use this to find the recipe you wanted. Both the Pill Tower and the Alchemy Tower can make your own copy, just don’t spread it around. Return it to me once you are done copying."

"Divine Pills Prescriptions!?" Someone exclaimed from the crowd.

The Goddess of the Moon didn’t care much about the book as it was something she had memorized before. It’s just that it was something the system had given to her and she didn’t want to lose the original book. After leaving the book to the elders to handle, she looked at her master.

She said, "Shizun, I’m a bit tired today. I would like to rest early."

Wu Yao knew that refining an immortal pill is not simple. That one pill was enough to get all of Yue Xuexia’s concentration to its fullest just for it to get refined. That’s why now that she is relaxed, she is feeling a lot sleepy compared to normal. The problem with her soul isn’t completely resolved yet. The Immortal Sun Emperor noticed this as well and carefully carried her in his arms.

Shen Jueyang said, "Old man, I’m taking Xue’er back to rest."

"Alright. Go ahead. I will handle these old men and make sure to tell them to keep quiet," Principal Wu Yao said.

The Moon Goddess was already leaning on the Immortal Sun Emperor’s shoulders where she had longed to close her eyes. Everyone had turned silent when they saw her state. After Shen Jueyang bowed towards the elders, he carried Yue Xuexia back to the house so she could rest properly. It was only after the Moon Goddess and the Immortal Sun Emperor had entered the house that the others outside had decided to change the location and continue their conversation. They moved to the main peak.

Meanwhile, inside the house, Grandpa Tan, Grandma Tang, Tan Shengyu and Xue Shuyu were waiting for their return. Upon seeing that their mistress was asleep, almost all of them had shut their mouths.

The Immortal Sun Emperor said, "Wait in the living room. There is something I need to talk about."

The Tan family nodded their heads and slightly bowed their heads as the Immortal Sun Emperor passed by with the Moon Goddess in his arms. He immediately heads to Yue Xuexia’s room where he can allow her to properly rest. After tucking her on her bed properly, he leans down to kiss her forehead before leaving the room. After the door of the room was closed, Yue Xuexia’s closed eyes opened for a moment and a certain unknown emotion glinted within those eyes that now had turned to silver at this moment.

On the other hand, in the living room, when the Immortal Sun Emperor had descended from the upper floor, he saw the four people waiting for him. Shen Jueyang sat down together with the other four and sat at the single couch in the middle position that looked like the head of the seating arrangement within the room.

Tan Shengyu asked, "Master, why have you gathered us? Is there something wrong?"

"The ability of Xue’er to refine pills had been exposed. She had always had the ability to refine Immortal-grade pills which now everyone knows. She is safe in the academy but not outside. Moreover there is that problem with her soul. Right now you guys are far too weak to protect her." The Immortal Sun Emperor said.

The Tan Family felt like they had been stabbed at their hearts with this truth. It can be said that instead of protecting the Moon Goddess, the Mistress was the one protecting them.

The Immortal Sun Emperor said, "Godking realm isn’t enough if you want to protect her. You should at least reach the false emperor realm or better reach the early Emperor realm to stand by her side and protect her. The potential of Tan Bingyu and Xue Renxue is enough to reach that realm. Aside from Tan Shengyu, you three lack enough physique and cultivation realm."

"Xue Shuyi can fully awaken her Ice phoenix bloodline and when she does, her cultivation speed would increase a lot." Shen Jueyang said as he looked at the wife of his disciple. "Shuyi, you need to meet your ancestors. The origin of your Xue Bloodline and have him awaken your inheritance like Tan Bingyu."

"But Lord Shen... I don’t know where the ancestor is right now," Xue Shuyi said nervously.
