2022-11-14 01:16:46"Hold it right there." the elder stopped Chen Tu from leaving. But instead of action, he merely used words to bring out that persuasive effect.
"Was there something else this junior can help with?" Chen Tu asked. He still maintained a respectful attitude toward the elder. Others could put this courtesy as non-importance, but not Chen Tu. After all, the latter was still a senior of Blood Refining Grotto and had all the rights over junior like himself.
His status right now is still too mediocre, after all.
"When did I say that I am not intending to help?" the elder made a harumph and tossed something over to Chen Tu. It was a piece of black jade with comfortable engravings. Unfortunately, Chen Tu couldn't read and had no idea what it meant.
"This is a Language Jade. Use it every night to learn how to read and write quickly. The content inside is mediocre but should be enough for a dumb child like you to master. If you still can't learn anything after using this, just kill yourself with a block of tofu." said the elder before turning around.
"Now you can leave. Get out of my sight before I changed my mind and took the jade back." the elder added.
"How can this junior use the Language Jade?" Chen Tu asked and hoped that the elder would teach him. But he's too green. The elder was obviously unwilling to be nice to him. With a flick of his finger, Chen Tu was thrown out from the Book Pavilion and landed inside a pool of water.
When Chen Tu finally swam back to the side, he noticed that he was thrown into a nearby pool from which the Spiritual Garden gets its water.
"Hmm? Junior brother Chen? Why are you here? I thought you've left." Qin Lei asked. He coincidentally came here to look for Elder Wei Xuan.
"It was a long story, senior brother Qin. But I think... I've succeeded." Chen Tu said and opened his palm. The piece of jade was pitch black, with a hint of mysteriousness noticeable on the surface.
From the look of it, this piece of jade is quite precious and worth quite some money.
"Hmm... What is that thing?" Qin Lei asked. Even he had no idea what kind of treasure it was. But for starters, he knew it was something precious because, in this realm, everything related to the jade mineral was a greatly sought treasure.
For example, the Spatial Storage Jade in Grand Elder Jian Wuxian's hand. That piece of jade alone is worth close to an entire city, and even in this Blood Refining Grotto, perhaps only the Grotto Master and ten elders possessed one.
"Language Jade. That thing should be one of the treasures of Old Mang. Did he give it to you, child?" someone asked without making their appearance. It was a surprise to Chen Tu, but not Qin Lei.
Because the owner of this voice was someone familiar to Qin Lei. He could also be counted as Qin Lei's benefactor.
"Elder Wei Xuan." Qin Lei immediately cupped his fists and politely bowed to the elder. Seeing this, Chen Tu quickly followed his senior brother and did the same to the elder.
"Did Old Mang give you that, child?" the elder repeated his question.
"Answering the elder, junior had no idea who Old Mang was. An elder guarding the Book Pavilion gave me this piece of jade." Chen Tu quickly answered the elder's question.
"Oh... That's indeed Old Mang, then. You don't even know that old fool's name, yet he gives you something so precious? What did you bribe him with?" Elder Wei Xuan asked. Even he was curious.
Among the ten elders, Old Mang, or Elder Mang Shu, was the most eccentric. He was responsible for the Training Hall, yet always goofing around the tree outside the Book Pavilion.
He was also a peak-level Golden Core Layer cultivator but too lazy to be bothered and stayed as a regular elder. Furthermore, his taste in wine is completely distorted. He would be the one who enjoyed the cheapest wine and dissed the most expensive liquor in the store.
Unsure whether it was good or bad luck, Chen Tu was only required to buy him a bottle of the cheapest alcohol, not the most expensive one. If he were asked for the most expensive bottle of wine, that would cost Chen Tu his whole month of Contribution Tokens.
"So... That elder is actually very powerful?" Chen Tu couldn't believe Elder Wei Xuan's words. And honestly, he doesn't appear to be that powerful at all.
But as always, appearance is deceiving.
"Did Old Mang not teach you how to use it?" Elder Wei Xuan asked.
"Yes, elder. Elder Mang simply gave the jade to me before he flicked me out of the Book Pavilion." Chen Tu replied. But again, as he was too green, he had no idea what the power behind the flick indicated.
Not even Elder Wei Xuan can flick someone out of the Book Pavilion and still land on the ground safe and sound.
"All you need is to tap that piece of jade onto your forehead and direct some Spiritual Energy inside. That would activate the jade's array and allow you to decipher the information within." Elder Wei Xuan amicably taught Chen Tu how to use it. His appearance might look like a fierce and ruthless elder, but he was one of the nicest elders.
"Let's get back to the topic. I heard from Xiao Qin that you're quite a hardworking lad, correct?" the elder continued. Listening to the elder's question, Chen Tu could only nod in agreement before he thought about something.
"Disciple Chen Tu was just in a hurry to earn a few more Contribution Tokens. If this junior's working attitude is not up to par, I'll listen to the elder's arrangement and behave properly from now on." Chen Tu said,
"At ease, little one. Coincidently, I am looking for an errand boy to help me with the herbs. Since you're so hardworking and seem honest, what about you come and help me?" Elder Wei Xuan said.
Hearing that offer, even Qin Lei was slightly jealous.

Next morning. Following Tang Yun Long's suggestion, Chen Tu made his way to the Registration Office after breakfast. And as usual, he waited with the others in the queue until it was his turn. "What can I do for you today, junior?" the worker asked with impatience in his tone. In his opinion, Chen Tu is likely another disciple coming to claim his monthly salary provided by the Blood Refining Grotto. But all his following words were stuck in his throat before he could continue after Chen Tu had his disciple token taken out. "Chen - Chen Tu? You're Chen Tu?" the worker's tone changed into a more polite and easy to the ear. His attitude also had 180 degrees of turnover. Chen Tu didn't reply to him but simply nodded with a smile. And to these workers who looked down on the weak disciples, such treatment was the best venom to reeducate them. The worker immediately changed how he addressed Chen Tu from "Junior" to "Fellow Disciple Chen." And needless to say, this instantaneous change
Chapter 81: Small World
"Teacher, really? We're going to attend the examination for the Titled Alchemist this year?" Tang Yun Long couldn't help but feel excited. Naturally, he was very happy with what Elder Wei Xuan had said. After all, Tang Yun Long is turning eighteen this year. And even amongst all the disciples from both elders, his talent in Alchemy was the highest. But regardless of how he requested, Elder Wei Xuan would always reject him when it came to permission to attend the Titled-Alchemist Examination. No matter how much he begged, the elder would deem he was not ready for the test yet. Counting from the year he had been asking until now, it was almost four years past. But today, the sun seems to be rising from the west. Of course, Tang Yun Long realized that the change in Elder Wei Xuan's mind did not come from him but from Chen Tu. Without bathing in this junior brother's brilliance, he might have to wait another year or two before his chances arrive. Obviously, there was a reason for the
Chapter 80: Crimson Emblazing Pill
"Good. Very good. Then, you'll be the second official disciple of this old man from this moment onward. I am looking forward on how far you can grow." Elder Wei Xuan appeared very satisfied with Chen Tu's instant reply. This could also show how much Chen Tu had longed for this chance. "Disciple understood!" Chen Tu kneeled and raised a teacup in both hands to the elder. Regardless of the custom, serving a cup of tea to your master is essential. This customary practice not only creates a proper master and disciple but also the connections in between. "En... Those unimportant things will be told to you by Xiao Long later. For now, take this as your gift to study under my tutelage. It was the Pill Formula I promised you last time." the elder said after placing the teacup aside and taking something from nothingness. Apparently, the elder had a piece of Spatial Jade too. And from the look of it, the quality is slightly better than what Tang Yun Long had. "Why don't you take a look at i
Chapter 79: Second Official Disciple
"junior brother Chen, this Three-Star Pill... Did you refine them by yourself?" Tang Yun Long asked. Even he hadn't had success in refining a pill of this quality. At most, he is only confident in refining Two-Star Pill. Furthermore, this result was before Chen Tu was officially accepted by the elder as his second official disciple. If he was, would he be capable of Four-Star, or even a Five-Star? Of course, that kind of level is nowhere to be heard of... After all, no alchemist would dedicate all their time to researching and refining a four or Five-Star Grain Pellet. Even if that alchemist is the most foolish one, he would likely have zero to little interest in an entry-level pill like this. Looking at the Three-Star Grain Pellet sitting on the table, the elder couldn't calm his heart down. And without further ado, he put his hand out toward Chen Tu and asked for something. "Xiao Tu... Bring the Alchemist Token out." Elder Wei Xuan asked. It appears that what he will be doing
Chapter 78: About To Faint
(Hmm... I wonder what kind of medicinal pill is this Spring and Autumn Profound Pill and Lesser Vitality Pill. Could their effect be something extraordinary, like the Spiritual Replenishing or Spirit Desertification Pill?) Chen Tu spoke to his own while flipping through the pages. The contents were fairly easy for him to understand, and there was nothing to be suspicious about. But when Chen Tu came to the ingredient part, he had the urge to scratch and pull his hair. (Aargh... Now, this is where my first obstacle comes in...) Chen Tu took a few deep breaths after he set the book aside. He had mixed feelings due to what was going on inside his mind. The reason for these confusing thoughts was naturally understandable. After all, this was a lost recipe Qin Lei's father, Qin Tianbao, found from excavating the tomb of a certain expert. Interestingly, this relic site was also where Qin Tianbao had a mishap and lost one of his legs. And no wonder he would be allowed to keep these two
Chapter 77: Uncle Qin Tianbao
(What an amazing feeling... Could this be something only those in the fourth level would realize?) Chen Tu remained seated, but for every breath he took, the Spiritual Energy of his surroundings was attracted over. His body was like a leaf sponging up all the dew as it absorbed all these blimps of Spiritual Energy to nourish his flesh. This mist-like Spiritual Energy is incomparable to what a Spiritual Replenishing Pill offers. Still, it was something nobody would complain about. After all, no matter how diluted and faint this Spiritual Energy was, they're still the Spiritual Energy everyone pursued. Nobody would cover their water well when it rains because they're afraid it would be overfilled by the rainwater. Apparently, Chen Tu's guess was correct. A feat like this was indeed someone above the Flesh Tempering Stage could enjoy. And thanks to his fully-tempered flesh, Chen Tu is now more than capable of applicating Spiritual Energy to strengthen his physique. Although the diff
