But he couldn't show it directly, because he knew Liu Yun well enough that any signs of his narrow-mindedness even if Lin Bai didn't like Liu Yun, would stir Liu Yun's discontent.

However, other people did not have such concerns.

Xu Yan fired directly, "Are you saying that he is the only alchemy genius you've ever met, Yun?"

"Yeah, a youth from the Mortal Realm, no matter how talented, what great feats can he achieve?"

"Mortal Realm ... such a place doesn't even have cultivators, yet he can concoct elixirs? Does the Mortal Realm have elixirs? Has he even seen what a real furnace looks like?"

"He probably can't recognize many medicinal herbs, right?"

"Alchemy requires a first-class flame. He is not even a cultivator, how could he possibly manipulate fire?"

"Is he going to be burnt to death right away?"

Everyone talked all at once, ridiculing the idea of a youth from the Mortal Realm surpassing them in terms of alchemy.

Liu Yun listened to these people, who were her closest friends, mock him, and she felt increasing irritation, suddenly shouting, "Enough!"

All of them closed their mouths instantly, looking at her in surprise.

Xu Yan's eyes immediately turned red as she looked at Liu Yun, "Yun, you are going to fall out with us for a stranger...?"

Guo Wenchang's heart sank to the pit of his stomach in that instant.

Liu Yun took a deep breath, her eyes showing a cold light, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. But even my Ninth Uncle speaks very highly of him."

"Your Ninth Uncle?"

Everyone was exceedingly surprised hearing this.

Someone muttered, "Isn't that Emperor Feng Chun?"

Everyone fell silent at that. Emperor Feng Chun was too high above them to touch, a true big shot.

The ninth master of Lingdan Hall, almost can be counted as the main decision maker these days. Any person praised continuously by him cannot be just an ordinary one.

Xu Yan murmured, "How could a youth from the Mortal Realm... How is it possible?" After saying that, she raised her head and looked at Liu Yun, "What about you and him?"

"I have nothing to do with him!" Liu Yun tried hard to suppress her feelings and spoke dispassionately. But as soon as she finished, she felt a great loss, as if she had lost something important.

Whew!

Guo Wenchang finally let out a sigh of relief, his face showing a faint smile. He said gently, "Let's not quarrel over a stranger. It's not good to break our harmony, right?" He laughed aloud on purpose, "Since Emperor Feng Chun looks highly on him, we must kindly treat him if we have the chance to meet, so that he can wholeheartedly work for Lingdan Hall!"

Everyone fell silent. Many people looked at Guo Wenchang with some sympathy.

Although Guo Wenchang could not be counted as a supreme heavenly genius, he still had a certain reputation. It was a pity to see him stuck in his feelings and behaving rather foolishly.

They could tell something was off about Liu Yun's expression and words that others might miss. As her childhood friends, how could they not be able to tell?

However, no one would tell Guo Wenchang the truth, not even Xu Yan. They did not want to upset him.

Liu Yun swept her gaze around slowly and then said casually, "We've found the Seven Flavors Powder. Let's go."

Then, without waiting for the others, she turned and left.

...

Chu Mo appeared deep inside the Chu palace.

As soon as he entered the Chu Palace, he immediately sensed that the barrier that protected entire palace was much stronger than before.

With this type of barrier, it was impossible to force entry unless the supreme divine came in person.

Chu Mo understood why the Realm Spirit had changed the original mnemonic. He was trying to protect him, not succumbing to the pressure from places like the Dong family or the Qin family.

Otherwise, if those people found out his whereabouts, they would definitely not let him go. At that time, Chu Mo, who knew nothing about it, might be injured.

As soon as Chu Mo arrived at this place, two figures appeared in front of him.

It was Dong Yu and Qin Shi, whom he had not seen for a long time.

"You ... you finally came!" Dong Yu saw Chu Mo and her face lit up with joy.

Qin Shi's eyes were complicated, as she looked at Chu Mo with guilt.

The whole event that sent shockwaves through the Illusionary God Realm was actually triggered by her.

"Young Master Chu, I'm sorry." Qin Shi bowed to Chu Mo.

"Miss Qin, there's no need for this." Chu Mo did a lifting motion with his hand and said, "It was my fault too. I was tied down by some affairs in the Mortal Realm and failed to come to this side in time, making you wait for a long time."

Qin Shi's face showed regret, "In the end, the incident was caused by me. I didn't expect to expose your identity this way... I... I didn't think it would turn out like this." As she spoke, her eyes reddened.

Dong Yu bit her lips as tears welled up in her eyes, "Now, those bastard brothers Luo Ying and Luo Ning, they have shifted all the blame onto you..."

Chu Mo waved his hand: "No worries, I have evidence."

Qin Shi sighed lightly, "Sometimes, when the grownups do things, they only look at the pros and cons. Evidence and the like, don't matter that much to them."

Chu Mo looked at Qin Shi, "Have you recovered your memory?"

Because Chu Mo could clearly feel that Qin Shi was different now, and so was Dong Yu, who seemed to have returned to her usual self.

Qin Shi nodded, "Thanks to your elixir, our memories, though not completely restored, have been mostly recovered."

Chu Mo's face lit up, "I'm really happy for you!"

Seeing that Chu Mo seemed not to care much about the previous incident, Qin Shi and Dong Yu felt much relieved. They said almost at the same time, "Thank you!"

Chu Mo said, "So, what are your plans? I heard that your families are eager to have you back?"

The two women nodded, Dong Yu snorted, "Our families have accepted the huge benefits from the Luo family, we will not go back. There will be no good end for us if we return."

Qin Shi looked at Chu Mo quietly and said, "There is a method in the Heavenly Realm, called 'harvesting'."

"Harvesting?" Chu Mo was surprised.

"Yes, once the fruit is ripe, it can be harvested." Qin Shi spoke calmly, "Now, both Dong Yu and I have the Daoist Realm physique of the Five Elements water property. If we were still cultivators who could step into the Daluo Jinxian Realm at any time, no one would dare to harvest us. But now we are not even cultivators. We have an unparalleled physique but lack cultivation... To our family, this is a serious waste."

Chu Mo couldn't help taking a sharp breath and exclaimed, "But you are their family! How could they do this? Besides ... you can practice again!"

"Practising again would consume a lot of resources. Furthermore... some people in the family can't wait any longer." Qin Shi spoke calmly.

"F****** hell!" Chu Mo couldn't help cursing.

Qin Shi looked into Chu Mo's eyes and asked,"Young Master, Dong Yu and I have caused you so much trouble, are you still willing to shelter us?"
