Chapter 2 – Smack b.u.t.t if not obedient
Zhu Si Jia who had a hot figure, when handling matters was also swift, decisive and energetic. Very quickly, she had also already done an experiment.
The experiment had proofed what Xie Chuan said. Xie Chuan was indeed correct.
To refine a genuine dragon serpent pill, a snake berry that got crawled before by a female snake was needed. Cloud Mist Sect which was deemed as the most ancient pill concocting sect in Da Qin Empire had actually neglected a crucial detail to concoct dragon serpent pill and resulted in their secret method to concoct dragon serpent pill to be wrong all this time.
News quickly got spread out and a few elders once again gathered together in Cloud Mist Hall to see Xie Chuan.
How did the usually extremely mediocre Xie Chuan who knew neither how to cultivate nor concoct pills actually knew the secret to concoct a genuine dragon serpent pill? Everyone was puzzled about this. Even the big elder who had the biggest authority was puzzled too.
Confronting against everyone’s questioning, Xie Chuan only said two word which made everyone relieved, ‘reading books’.
Over the past years, the Sect Master had been wandering about outside and no one was there to point out anything for Xie Chuan. At Purple Cloud Peak, although there was not any cultivating techniques there at all, there was actually many books which was left there by the Sect Master. Among the books, there was quite a number of pill concocting books about predecessor’s aspect on how to concoct pills. There was indeed the possibility of Xie Chuan by chance finding out the real method to concoct dragon serpent pill on some ancient book among the books at Purple Cloud Peak.
“Please bring forth Heaven’s Will Wheel!” Big elder sized up and down on Xie Chuan. Having a bit of expectation within his heart, he ordered with a deep voice.
When some people escaped from a great calamity, they may bring out their hidden potential within their body and reveal their unique innate talent. If Xie Chuan’s situation was like this, Cloud Mist Sect could start to focus nurturing his talent too. Then at least Xie Chuan having the t.i.tle of big senior brother would have not been in vain.
Very quickly, someone brought forth Cloud Mist Sect’s Heaven’s Will Wheel which had been pa.s.sed down from generation to generation. A round green light shone down on Xie Chuan’s body.
Mediocre apt.i.tude, mediocre life, ordinary fetus, ordinary body, weak bones and vessels…
His body was weaker than an ordinary person…
Maybe it had been due to Xie Chuan’s body being weak today, his apt.i.tude had actually became worse from before. With his apt.i.tude, to even become an outstanding cultivator was difficult. Don’t need to say, to even cultivate a profound martial technique was even more out of the question.
“To solve the problem of the method of concocting dragon serpent pill is no easy matter. This can be cla.s.sed as a great service you had did for the sect. Jia Jia, there is still a marrow washing pill on you right? Give it to Xie Chuan and send him back to Purple Cloud Peak.” Big elder sighed, hating iron for not becoming steel and shook his head before leaving. Sect Master only had Xie Chuan as his only direct disciple and the direct disciple was this younger generation’s oldest disciple too. A pity that big elder had the heart to nurture him but his apt.i.tude was just too poor.
“Mediocre life, ordinary fetus, ordinary body, no matter how much marrow washing pill you take in is but only wasting resources. Humph…”
Third elder snorted and left with fifth elder and the others.
“Humph! Brat, give you! Such good luck you have. Let’s go!” Zhu Si Jia turned her body and left while unwilling taking out a crystal bottle and threw it to Xie Chuan.
Within the bottle was a dark green color pill. The pill was actually a gift from her grandfather. Originally, she had only wanted to put Xie Chuan in a difficult spot and let him make a fool of himself in front of the disciples. But who would have thought, what she wanted didn’t happen and instead she even had to give Xie Chuan the pill she got.
“Young lady, next time call me big senior brother. If not, I will smack your b.u.t.t.”
Xie Chuan took a look at the marrow washing pill within the crystal bottle and swept a look at Zhu Si jia’s raising b.u.t.t too before laughing faintly and catching up with Zhu Si Jia.
Zhu Si Jia’s cultivation was higher than Xie Chuan a lot of ranks. But towards Xie Chuan who in the past was Heaven Concealing Great Sage, no matter how high Zhu Si Jia’s cultivation was, she was but a young lady.
“Humph! You dare? Who smack whose b.u.t.t we still don’t know yet!”
Zhu Si Jia snorted a few times and walk further and further away angrily. Her mind was somewhat confused. In the past, Xie Chuan was coward and afraid of getting into trouble. No matter who he saw, he would always try to avoid the person by making a detour. Right now he seems to be the opposite instead? Could it be after surviving from a crisis, Xie Chuan had start to get enlightened. Or was is that he hate the sect for not sending help in time and now his temperament took a huge change?
Zhu Si Jia was in a bad mood. Just after walking out of the hall, she started to speed up her footsteps. Her b.u.t.t bouncing, sweeping up an alluring arc. Her speed got faster and faster, purposely wanting to make Xie Chuan not able to follow up with her and get humiliate.
Brat, didn’t you act almighty? I will make you be able to not follow up with me, see if you still dare to be so arrogant!
Zhu Si Jia finally found a balance in her heart. She who was just a pill concocting disciple already had cultivated till rank 3 Xiu Shi. But Xie Chuan who was the big senior brother had only cultivated till roughly rank 1 Wu Zhe. If it was other people who was big senior brother, they would have long be ashamed and unable to show their face. Where would they even have the guts to act almighty like this Xie Chuan?
Zhu Si Jia walked very quickly, not paying attention to the numerous guards secretly gazing at her chest and b.u.t.t along the way and instead was pleased with herself for actually thinking of that method to shame Xie Chuan. But after walking for a while, she suddenly felt something was wrong. Her back was too quiet. She turned back and looked, ending up to instead see that Xie Chuan was currently still standing outside of Cloud Mist Hall’s doorway. Xie Chuan had from the start never followed her, her effort just now had all been wasted.
“Brat, do you still even want to go to Purple Cloud Peak?” Zhu Si Jia was really angered. Seeing that Xie Chuan was standing there and not moving at all, she had no choice but to walk back to where Xie Chuan was at. She stamped her feet all the way back, stamping till the floor actually made sounds similar to drums being hit, Her pretty face was covered with a layer of cold frost that even her gaze could kill someone.
The guards at the side saw the situation was bad and all quickly lowered their heads, fearing that they may anger Zhu Si Jia if they were to continue facing forward.
Zhu Si Jia’s t.i.tle of being the few best disciples in Cloud Mist Sect or the ident.i.ty of her being big elder’s treasured granddaughter, not anyone was able to afford offending her.
Xie Chuan laughed, not getting angry at all too.
What kind of person was he? Of course he who would not lower his level to argue with a young lady, “Jia Jia, I apologize. I suddenly remembered that I do not have a weapon currently. Bring me to Weaponry Pavilion to pick one.”
“Humph…” Zhu Si jia snorted, not moving at all.
“What’s the matter? There’s a need for big elder’s warrant?” Xie Chuan asked.
Zhu Si Jia with both hands holding on her chest said: “There’s no need for warrant. With me here, entering into Weaponry Pavilion is just a trivial matter. Just that…I am tired right now. I can’t walk anymore.”
“I understand already.” Xie Chuan nodded his head and adopted a posture with his hands, “To even dare to be negligent towards your big senior brother…Seems like young lady here is a little naughty. I guess there is a need for smacking someone’s b.u.t.t already.”
“You dare?”
Zhu Si Jia clenched her teeth, purposely making her b.u.t.t raise higher and incite: “Come! Hit! I dare you to hit!”
“Pa!”
A crisp sound rang out which shocked till everyone’s heart, including Zhu Si Jia’s heart too was not able to resist trembling for a bit.
“He actually really smack?”
He’s actually willing to smack that delicate and alluring b.u.t.t? Was this still the same big senior brother who was a coward and afraid of getting into troubles?
The surrounding guards all raised their heads, opening up their eyes wide with a look of disbelief.
“It’s already reaching winter soon, why is still there a housefly here?”
Xie Chuan shook his head and spread out his hand, shaking off the housefly on his palm.
Everyone then let out a huge breath. But the unruly and shrewish Zhu Si Jia’s ears was deep red. That ‘pa’ sound just now actually made her thought that Xie Chuan really used the palm of his hand to smack on her b.u.t.t, making her plump b.u.t.t subconsciously trembled. Temperament changing hugely after escaping from a crisis for sure. With Xie Chuan’s ident.i.ty as big senior brother, even if her b.u.t.t was really smacked, she may not have any chance to redress an injustice.
“Jia Jia, the sky is getting dark. Let’s go already. If you don’t listen again, this time I may really have to smack your b.u.t.t. What are you guys looking at? Public morals are degenerating with each pa.s.sing days, to not even able to do a proper job at being a guard and eyes are always looking around everywhere messily. No wonder the sect declined.” Xie Chuan shook his head, walking towards road on the left side.
Back in those days when Ghost Hand Medicinal King was still here building Cloud Mist Sect, the guards were all as if tigers and wolfs and even if the sky was to collapse, they would not show the slightest change of expression at all too. Compared to the guards now, the difference was really too far. The guards right now could not even resist the temptation of looking at a b.u.t.t.
Although young lady’s temper was indeed fiery, her figure was actually indeed really not bad.
Xie Chuan with a smile yet not a smile took a look at Zhu Si Jia and gradually hastened his steps.
Zhu Si Jia bit on her tooth and chased after Xie Chuan: “Hey, how did you know that the direction to Weaponry Pavilion is this way?”
Within the younger generation, Xie Chuan indeed was the person who entered the sect the longest. But his apt.i.tude was mediocre and he had no one to point out anything for him, therefor he usually stayed on Purple Cloud Peak and rarely walk around within the sect. He had not visit many places in the sect before even though he entered into sect the longest, completely not even comparable to some disciples who just entered the sect a few days or weeks. Seeing that Xie Chuan start walking towards the direction of the Weaponry Pavilion, Zhu Si Jia could not help feeling strange.
“Just a guess only. Not being careful and I guessed correctly again. It seems my luck is indeed really good.” Xie Chuan raised an evil smile on the corner of his mouth, making Zhu Si Jia feeling more infuriate.
“Jia Jia, why did our sect suddenly start urgently recruiting? Is there not enough manpower already? Xie Chuan asked.
“The newly appointed Da Qin King ascended the throne one month ago. He claimed that he wanted to train out a hundred male warriors and want our sect to tribute twenty three thousand first-rate pills. Included among these pills are, three heaven rank pure yang pill, three hundred ground rank purple cloud pill, five thousand xuan rank pills and seventeen thousand yellow rank pills. Wanting all heaven, ground, xuan and yellow rank pills and also we must deliver the goods within half a year. After accomplishing the a.s.signment, range of eight thousand miles around Cloud Mist Mountain will be in our control. If we do not accomplish the a.s.signment, our sect will be annexed.”
Zhu Si jia pouted with her mouth, appearing unhappy but still told Xie Chuan the situation. Bringing up about this difficult a.s.signment made Zhu Si Jia felt deeply worried and wrinkled her brows.
“I understand already.” Xie Chuan nodded his head. He had been missing for 3 months already, no wonder he did not know about this matter, “The time is too tight, if we don’t want to get annexed and lodge under another person’s proof, we can only start recruiting and get more manpower.”
“Humph. If only you are more reliable as the big senior brother, the situation may also not be as difficult as it is now.”
Zhu Si Jia pouted and took the initiative to walk forward and reveal the plate on her waist to the guards so that they can pa.s.s.
The two of them walked shoulder to shoulder and came to an ancient pavilion which had an interesting look and smell to it. Inside of the pavilions were stored with all of the sect’s weapons and treasures. Outside the gate, a stone sculpture of a person riding on a vigorous unicorn could be seen. This was Cloud Mist Sect’s founding master, Ghost Hand Medicinal King.
In front of the sculptures, incense sticks were arranged there and the air was filled with a sandalwood smell. At the corner, a black colored broom was placed there. Normally, the broom was used to sweep away the ashes from the incense sticks. No one could say how long this broom had been in this world.
“An eternity in a snap of a finger…Didn’t expect that even old rabbit is not here anymore…”
Xie Chuan faintly sighed, walking towards the corner and picking up the broom while gently caressing it. In this world, there were only a few who would dared to address Ghost Hand Medicinal King as old rabbit. Right now, perhaps there was already n.o.body who knew of Ghost Hand Medicinal King’s real appearance, n.o.body who knew that he was actually a rabbit demon. Originally, this rabbit demon was always wreaking havoc around the mountain and stealing many sect’s pills and medicinal herb to eat. Only after being subdued by Xie Chuan did the demon rabbit turn over a new leaf and became a generation of Sect Master.
This broom was different from other brooms. This broom was the same as a tree and a tree was the same as this broom.
This tree was also actually dug out from a demon G.o.d palace after he had beheaded 72 demons back in his former glorious days. The tree was used to encourage Ghost Hand Medicinal King and his group of trusted demon guards to work hard on cultivating. If anyone was not obedient, the tree would be used to smack the person’s b.u.t.t. Thus, the tree was also name G.o.d Beating Whip.
In the blink of an eye, million years had pa.s.sed. Ghost Hand Medicinal King and his trusted demon guards had all disappeared. Only this broom was left here in the corner to resist against the wind and rain. Right now, even within the elders of Cloud Mist Sect, no one could recognize the true ident.i.ty of this broom anymore.
“Brat, what did you say?” Zhu Si Jia turned her body when she thought she heard Xie Chuan said something. Seeing the sad look on Xie Chuan’s face, she suddenly felt somewhat absent minded.
Not sure why, she suddenly felt somewhat sad for Xie Chuan. Carefully looking, Xie Chuan was somewhat slim but his body was tall and straight as if a sharp sword. This many years, who knows how much Xie Chuan had suffered in the sect. The more she looked, it felt like Xie Chuan was not that dislikable anymore.
“Nothing.”
Xie Chuan answered and rubbed his nose: “Jia Jia, what are you looking at? Is it that big senior brother am very handsome? You can consider moving to Purple Cloud Peak to stay together with me and be my a.s.sistant if you want.”
“You can continue dreaming!” Zhu Si Jia snorted, the favorable impression she had of Xie Chuan all instantly vanished.
Let me be your helper? Truly a toad wishing to eat swan meat. Letting me be your a.s.sistant is fake but to want to take cheap advantages of me should be real. You think taking advantages of me is that easy?
Looking at Xie Chuan who had a smile yet not smile on his face, no matter how Zhu Si Jia look at him, she still felt irritated no matter what. Panting with rage, she turned her body, twisting her slender waist and angrily walked into the Weaponry Pavilion.
