Chapter 6: The Road Turns and Returns in Spring and Autumn

  This sentence was a shock to Meng Chaoran, no less than a 9-magnitude earthquake. A simple sentence, yet it completely ruined his plan. Once the bottleneck is loosened, if he can't push through with one breath, then next time he tries to rush through, even doubling his strength may not be enough!

  Under the turmoil of his mind, Meng Chaoran can't leave even if he wants to.

  "For the time being, I won't be able to go out. I need to stay in seclusion for a while." Meng Chaoran's gaze condensed, sizing up Chu Yang for a moment, seeing that his expression was as usual, and it seemed like the previous sentence was just an unintentional remark, before he helplessly smiled.

  He had just said he was going out, but then he said he couldn't go out after all. This kind of thing, which is easily despised by others as being indecisive, Meng Haoran seemed to have no qualms about, and simply said it in a matter-of-fact way. It seems that this kind of thing is quite ordinary.

  "Ah, right. This Spring and Autumn Pill, Chuyang has taken it, hasn't he?" Meng Chaoran smiled and tossed over a small jade bottle, saying: "Just now Qian Shan also said that Chuyang's injury needs to be supplemented. Let's use this to supplement it." His smile seemed to carry a hint of mockery, with some profound meaning...

  Shi Qianshan's face suddenly changed greatly!

  Spring Autumn Pill is used to enhance one's power, how can it be used to nourish the blood and body? With so many healing medicines in our sect, why must we use Spring Autumn Pill?

  Those words were just meant to make the master have a bad impression of these two disciples, but how did they end up causing the Spring and Autumn Elixir to disappear?

  What... what did you just say?

  Chu Yang sensitively saw the fleeting sneer on Meng Chaoran's mouth and couldn't help but bitterly smile: It seems that Shi Qianshan's sinister plots are all in his master's eyes... But, why did he never stop him?

  And this time, giving myself the Spring and Autumn Elixir is absolutely for my own sake, that one sentence "The heavens and earth do not shift, the rivers flow but the rocks do not turn". But this master of mine actually has a lot of patience, and didn't ask anything...

  After some thought, Chu Yang decided to probe: "Uh, Master, my skills are mediocre, and taking the Spring Autumn Pill won't do me much good. Why not give it to Big Brother instead? It'll be better for him to get a good ranking in the Great Peaks Competition."

  This sentence is a test of whether Meng Chao Ran really knows the true identity of Shi Qian Shan.

  At this, Tan's two eyebrows suddenly became anxious and twitched wildly, as if he wanted to shut Chu Yang's mouth. He almost burst out scolding: "Fool! Fool! Master has finally given it to you, why don't you just make a fortune in silence? Why are you so stupidly revealing it?"

  Shi Qianshan's face also showed a hint of expectation.

  Three people's eyes turned to Meng Chaoran at the same time, Tan Tang was anxious, Shi Qianshan was nervous with a hint of expectation and greed; while Chu Yang's gaze was very calm.

  "No need to. Your senior brother wasn't injured... He doesn't need this." Meng Chaoran said calmly, meeting Chu Yang's gaze with a slight smile: "Besides, your current state is not much different from your senior brother's... Alright, let's just leave it at that. No need to say more."

  Chu Yang's face turned bitter, Meng Chaoran's words were clearly meant to be sarcastic. He was currently a third-level martial artist, while his senior brother Shi Qianshan was a fourth-level warrior, the difference between them couldn't be measured in miles, so how could he say "you two are not far apart in terms of cultivation"?

  Meng Chao Ran's sentence should actually mean: You two are almost done with your sinister and cunning ways...... Wronged, Master! I am pure...... Chu Yang shouted loudly in his heart......

  Meng Chaoran took a deep look at the disciple again, stood up with a flick of his sleeve and said: "You all cultivate well, three months later, I will personally take you to ascend the Cloud Gathering Peak!"

  He just went out like this and disappeared immediately.

  The three of them looked at each other in dismay, Shi Qianshan's eyes fixed on the small jade bottle in Chu Yang's hand which was emitting a soft glow, his facial muscles twitching involuntarily.

  All one's efforts were for this thing, yet it vanished right before one's eyes...

  "Thank you, Senior Brother." Chu Yang said with a seemingly sincere tone as he thanked Shi Qian Shan: "If it weren't for Senior Brother suggesting that I nourish my body, how would Master have given me this priceless divine elixir... Come to think of it, all of this is thanks to Senior Brother's help."

  Shi Qianshan forced a smile that was even uglier than crying and said, "Junior brother, what are you talking about? This is specially given to you by Master, it's truly a deep kindness."

  The divine elixir that was supposed to be in his own hands had flown away, and the person who got it even sincerely thanked him... He felt a bellyful of resentment, but didn't dare show it. At this time, Shi Qianshan was already regretting it to the extreme in his heart, and he couldn't help but want to slap his own mouth: You cheap mouth! Why did you say that?!

  Chu Yang chuckled and turned the bottle upside down, pouring out a bright red pellet. As soon as it came out of the bottle, the room was filled with a strange fragrance. Chu Yang smiled and said, "I've heard that this thing is really good stuff, eating one can actually increase one's cultivation by a year! Although the growth is a bit small...it can't be wasted, I'll take it now, and trouble my senior brothers to help me protect the law..."

  Shi Qianshan's face suddenly changed. Is the increase a bit small? You actually still think it's not enough? Do you believe that thunder will strike from the sky?

  It was supposed to be mine, but now it's in someone else's hands. And this person is actually asking me to protect him...

  Shi Qianshan didn't even mention the taste, just as he was about to speak, Chu Yang opened his mouth wide and threw the Chunqiu Dan into the air, catching it with his mouth, just like eating a broad bean. He chewed loudly and smacked his lips, saying: "Not bad..."

  Shi Qianshan's face suddenly turned red, and his whole body's blood rushed to the top of his head, almost bursting...

  The next moment, a red flush suddenly rose on Chu Yang's face... The medicine had already started to take effect.

  Tan Tang gazed at him with envy, smacking his lips and saying: "Chu Yang's luck is really good, he broke his head but obtained the spiritual elixir, a year's worth of pure cultivation. It's truly a blessing in disguise. Alas, why didn't I, this elegant and refined person, break my head..."

  Shi Qian's heart was bleeding, but he could only force a smile and say: "Not bad, not bad, good luck..."

  Chu Yang took the Spring and Autumn Pill, only to feel a mighty medicinal power rising up with it. In an instant, it coursed through his four limbs and hundred bones, causing all the meridians in his body to expand at once. A surging torrent of energy rushed towards his Dan Tian...

  Couldn't help but let out a wry smile in his heart: the effect of this spiritual medicine was indeed not bad. Although it could only increase one year's worth of cultivation, for someone with his current level of attainment, this one year's worth of cultivation was already a considerable amount of power. If he were to take an even higher-grade spiritual medicine, he feared that his meridians really wouldn't be able to withstand it...

  In the dantian, the sword soul of Jiuxiao Sword suddenly emitted a burst of excitement, and then seemed to extend out an inexplicable tentacle. Chu Yang felt that the medicinal power was like a hundred rivers converging into the sea, pouring into the Jiuxiao Sword without leaving a single drop behind.

  Can't help but feel a wave of astonishment, thinking to himself, "Could it be that the Nine Calamity Sword still likes this tune?" In his past life, not to mention such anomalies, even the sword soul had never appeared. This life is quite good, suddenly coming out without warning, and actually wanting to come and rob?

  Could it be that all the medicinal effects were absorbed by the Jiuxing Sword? Didn't I get any benefits myself?

  Just then, the Nine Tribulations Sword in Dantian absorbed the medicinal power of the Spirit Dan, and its illusory body shook, emitting a faint glow. Immediately after, a concentrated stream of energy was spat out from the hilt, only a tiny thread, as fine as a hair, but Chu Yang felt that this stream of energy contained enormous power...

  Although the medicinal power is not as great as that of Chunqiu Dan, its purity has exceeded it by thousands of times! Just this little bit was enough to raise Chuyang's cultivation from the peak of Wudang Sanpin to Wudang Sipin!

  Although it was a low rank or upgrading didn't require too much energy, directly advancing one rank still shocked Chu Yang! If it were just the medicinal properties of the Spring Autumn Pill, no matter what, it couldn't possibly directly advance one grade!

  Could it be that this sword soul also has the effect of purifying medicine? Or is it something else? Strange...

  The Nine Calamity Sword lazily spun around in the dantian and then subsided. The emotions being transmitted were somewhat dissatisfied, with a hint of disdain, making it clear that this "meager" medicinal power was not taken seriously...

  Chu Yang could clearly feel that the Nine Tribulations Sword was expressing its disdain with a human-like rolling of its eyes... This guy, is quite difficult to get rid of...
