Chapter 143: Chapter 143: Li Chunfeng’s Misgivings

Mists swirled atop Purple Cloud Peak.

By the babbling stream, Li Shangxian stood with his hands behind his back.

Behind him stood a young man of similar age, dressed in splendid robes and gold-threaded boots, carrying two flying swords on his back. The man wore a cynical expression on his face, even though he had just spoken of a grave matter!

Li Shangxian turned around, his expression incredibly complex.

"So, you’re saying the other five disciples of Purple Cloud Peak were accidentally killed by Mo Junqing?" Upon hearing this answer, he realized the suspicious nature of the incident. In almost an instant, he understood why his master had chosen to suppress the matter!

"I have to say, your Mo Junqing really is a genius." For someone to earn the praise of Xiang Wanxia, he was truly extraordinary.

Li Shangxian clenched his fists, momentarily at a loss for what to do. On one hand, there was his master’s hope; on the other, the murderer who killed Si Yu. How could he avenge this blood feud?!

Xiang Wanxia and Li Shangxian had not seen each other for over ten years. Back then, they had joined the Cyan Yang Sect together. Only, one went to Purple Cloud Peak, while the other remained on the main peak. However, despite years of separation, Xiang Wanxia still understood him very well! At this moment, he could already see some clues.

"Was there a close relative of yours among those five?"

Li Shangxian nodded in grief and indignation.

"A life for a life, a debt paid in coin. Since you are the victim’s family, it is only right to seek justice!" Xiang Wanxia’s expression also turned serious.

"But Mo Junqing..." Li Shangxian explained the relationship between the other party and their master.

"No, no!" Xiang Wanxia shook his head repeatedly.

From what Li Shangxian said, although Mo Junqing possessed exceptional Talent, he had only become Li Chunfeng’s disciple a few years ago. In terms of affection, it was impossible for his bond with the master to compare to that of Li Shangxian and Si Yu. Yet, from the words of his brother whom he hadn’t seen in over ten years, it was obvious that Li Chunfeng heavily favored the newcomer!

This was highly unreasonable!

Li Shangxian did not continue speaking. If he said any more, he would have to bring up the Secret Realm and the Immortal Cave Mansion. These were the secrets of Purple Cloud Peak, and absolutely no one was allowed to leak them. Otherwise, if the other peaks found out, it would no longer be Purple Cloud Peak’s turn to explore! It might even alarm the Golden Core Ancestors!

"Brother Mei, forgive me, but this is all I can tell you!"

Xiang Wanxia did not press further, but instead suggested, "How about I kill him for you? I believe Li Chunfeng wouldn’t dare do anything to me."

Hearing this, Li Shangxian wavered. With the other party’s strength at the Foundation Establishment Third Layer, killing a Cultivator at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer would be as easy as flipping a hand. This way, even if his master Li Chunfeng knew it was related to him, he wouldn’t be able to bring it up openly. After all, Mo Junqing was the one at fault first! But if he didn’t kill the culprit with his own hands, it wouldn’t really feel like avenging Si Yu.

For a moment, Li Shangxian found himself in a dilemma!

"Let me think about it some more!"

White Snake Marketplace.

Having finished playing a song, Chen Mo gently pushed the Ancient Zither away and stood up.

Right now, the one-year-old Six-headed Spirit Pig was putting on an explicit scene that was completely unsuitable for children. This was what Reproduction entailed. If one wanted to increase the probability of Reproduction, one had to increase the frequency.

Therefore, Chen Mo had just been playing the Calm Heart Zither Technique, which was meant to comfort the hearts of living creatures, calm them down, and even accelerate their recovery. However, after integrating the Reproduction Talent, a decadent undertone crept into the ethereal, flowing notes of the Zither. This instilled an intense desire to mate in the creatures listening to it.

Because of this, a bizarre scene unfolded. Whether it was the Spirit Pigs, the Spirit Chickens, or even Kang, they were toiling away vigorously. Yet, no passion could be seen on their faces. Instead, they were merely performing a supposedly feverish act with complete calmness!

At this moment, Chen Mo finally understood. Perhaps the best Zither Technique to integrate with Reproduction was not the Calm Heart Zither Technique, but those capable of creating illusions and stimulating desire! Unfortunately, those were the closely guarded secrets of Banyin Valley. The Wandering Bookstore within the Cyan Yang Sect did not sell them!

As the Zither music faded, the Spirit Pigs gradually climbed off each other. Weighing nearly three hundred catties each, it was a wonder how they could even move. Chen Mo stepped forward and brushed their fur one by one before heading to the nearby chicken coop.

Exhausted half to death, Kang did not run around wildly for the first time. Instead, he leaned against the wall and sat on the ground as if incubating eggs. The feathers of the other nine hens were ruffled and scattered, clear evidence of the fierce battle that had just taken place. The eight recently hatched Spirit Chickens huddled together in ignorant confusion, completely unable to bear the sight.

But Chen Mo knew it would be soon! These Spirit Chickens were about to lay eggs again!

"CLUCK! CLUCK CLUCK!"

"Rest if you’re tired, cut the nonsense."

"CLUCK CLUCK! CLUCK!"

Just then, Song Yunxi descended from the sky and landed directly in the courtyard.

Surprised, Chen Mo turned around and asked, "Brother Song, what brings you here?"

The other party said with a slightly serious expression, "I managed to get the Snake Orchid for you. Now can you tell me what you need it for?"

"I’ve been Cultivating a Magic spell, and I need it."

"The Poison Relief Technique?" Song Yunxi asked in return.

Chen Mo didn’t hide it, nodding in confirmation. He had bought the Magic from the Wandering Bookstore, and it originated from the Cyan Yang Sect. As a disciple of Purple Cloud Peak and the nephew of the Transmission Hall Master, how could the other party not know?

"Are you planning to go after Yan Ronglin?" Song Yunxi furrowed his brows, faintly sensing that something was wrong.

"How could I!" Chen Mo said with a bitter smile. "He’s at the Qi Refining Sixth Layer, and I’m only at the Qi Refining Fourth Layer. If I truly intended to look for trouble with him, I wouldn’t have asked you to help out that day! I’m not stupid; why would I court death?"

His explanation was very reasonable. After hearing it, Song Yunxi pondered for a moment and then nodded in deep agreement.

"It’s good that you understand. Don’t rush to seek revenge just yet. Yan Ronglin has considerable backing. I will figure something out!"

"Thank you for your concern, Brother Song!"

Chen Mo took the Snake Orchid handed to him, then retrieved some Giant Bone Spirit Rice from his Storage Ring and passed it over.

When Song Yunxi saw the bag of Spirit Rice, his eyes lit up. He had just finished the batch he was given last time, and yet there was more here! Just how much had this guy planted?!

Song Yunxi felt somewhat puzzled, but he still accepted it decisively. He didn’t even ask.

However, this saved Chen Mo from having to fabricate a reason, ensuring that his five acres of special Spirit Fields wouldn’t be exposed.

A moment later, watching Song Yunxi’s retreating back, Chen Mo chuckled and murmured, "He really sees things so clearly!"

He turned and went back inside the house, arriving at the Breeding Room. He laid out the Snake Orchid and the herbs he had collected over the years one by one on the table. He already knew the contents of the Poison Relief Technique by heart. Soon, following the recorded instructions, he concocted a bottle of poison that, when combined with the Magic, could completely dissolve a corpse!

Chen Mo didn’t know whether others would take revenge themselves when wronged. But when someone trampled on his head and even wanted to kill him, how could he possibly sit and wait for death!
