C16 Master

Towers of different heights were arranged in a series of circles, occupying a part of the mountain forest. Looking at the flowing stream, thousands of mountains were dyed in it. On the bluestone path, there were often mountain disciples walking past.

This was one of the Mountain Sea Pavilion s.

At this moment, on a limestone path within the Mountain Sea Pavilion, two figures, one tall and the other short, were leisurely chatting. The tall one was naturally Maki Chen, and the short one was Maki Chen's cheap senior sister, Xi Mengyao.

Honestly speaking, Maki Chen was more or less resisting in his heart, but this little girl continued to grit his teeth and refused to let go, insisting on Maki Chen calling her Senior Sister.

Under such pressure, he could only acquiesce to this form of address and reluctantly called out "Senior Sister."

Actually, calling Xi Mengyao senior sister was not at a disadvantage in terms of her current situation.

Firstly, Xi Mengyao's identity definitely surpassed Maki Chen's. Secondly, Xi Mengyao's age may be twelve or thirteen, but in reality, she was older than Maki Chen by a few months.

Cultivating spirit energy had a certain effect on retaining one's looks, and the girls paid special attention to this area. As such, it made sense why Xi Mengyao's appearance was so young and tender.

Why don't I join Mountain Sea Pavilion and use my resources to refine some pills that can keep my appearance a secret? If I continue to make new ones, wouldn't I be able to earn a lot of money …

From what Maki Chen knew, Heavenly Enlightenment Empire did not have any pills that were particularly effective in maintaining one's looks, not to mention that the pill refiners would not place any particular emphasis on this path.

However, Maki Chen was different. In his previous life, during his cultivation, he had visited countless of places, and among them, there was even a country that retained their looks as a style.

Back then, he had casually recorded down some pill medicines to preserve one's appearance. He reckoned that they might be useful in the future. Thinking about it now, his decision at that time was indeed a wise one.

Just as Maki Chen was thinking of a plan to earn money, Xi Mengyao's little head peeked over again, looking at Maki Chen warily.

There was no other reason but the expression on Maki Chen's face just now was a little crafty. She directly told her that Maki Chen was definitely plotting some kind of unspeakable secret.

Junior brother, what are you thinking about?

Maki Chen withdrew his consciousness from the contemplation, and laughed awkwardly: I … I was thinking about my training.

Xi Mengyao blinked her eyes, using a puzzled look to look at Maki Chen, obviously not believing his.

Really?

Really!

Seeing that she could not get any answers, Xi Mengyao could only turn her head in frustration. She extended her hand out to scratch the Blacky's chin and felt that it was really cute.

...

Mountain Sea Pavilion, in front of a secluded pavilion in the southern corner of the pavilion.

Maki Chen took out the jade keepsake that was always hung on his waist, with a sad look on his face.

After leaving the Mu Manor for a while, Maki Chen had a guess as to the condition of Second Uncle's body.

Thinking of this, Maki Chen's hand unavoidably tightened around the keepsake.

Junior brother, come with me to the second floor to see master.

Maki Chen nodded and followed suit.

The decorations and designs of the pavilion were extremely simple, and there were no signs of deliberate decorations. Everything was neatly arranged, and although it looked boring and simple, there was a hint of elegance hidden in it.

On the second floor, Maki Chen was acutely aware of a powerful aura, which was something the current him was completely unable to match.

Yao'er, bring him in.

As Maki Chen was searching for the source of the aura, a gentle woman's voice sounded beside his ears, giving off a feeling of a warm spring breeze.

Alright master!

Hearing her master's call, Xi Mengyao immediately pulled Maki Chen inside the house, and just as she stepped into the room, a sweet fragrance wafted into her nose.

When his entire body entered the room, Maki Chen instantly felt as if he was enveloped by countless pure and special elemental energies, and the negative emotions in his heart seemed to have been dispersed.

Master, I've brought you junior brother

Xi Mengyao pulled Maki Chen closer to his master.

Maki Chen raised his head to look, and saw a woman calmly flipping through the books in front of her desk.

Her long hair naturally fell over her shoulders, and a few strands covered her pretty face. Under her slender eyebrows were a pair of clear and cold eyes, and her skin was white and tender like cream without any makeup.

A plain Luo Chang wrapped around her mature figure, and with every move she made, she was completely elegant and calm.

Maki Chen watched in a daze. He never thought that a girl could give her such a deep visual impact. That kind of temperament, that came from the bones, was definitely not something that could be developed overnight.

Retracting his thoughts, Maki Chen handed over the jade artifacts with both hands and bowed. Then, he opened his mouth and said: "Junior Maki Chen greets senior! This time, he was here to help Second Uncle fulfill his last wish and return the keepsake.

The woman stood up, slowly walked to Maki Chen's side and received the jade artifact.

If he hands the keepsake to you, it means that you are the person he values the most. According to the agreement between us, from now on, you will be my disciple.

Maki Chen didn't directly answer as he respectfully said: "Senior, I don't like being restricted by the numerous rules of the Sect.

For Maki Chen, freedom was the most important thing. If the Mountain Sea Pavilion had strict rules and regulations governing the travel of disciples, it would inevitably affect his plans for future cultivation. This was one of the main reasons why he wasn't willing to join the Sect.

Especially in terms of resources, it was much easier than obtaining it by himself. This was why Maki Chen had the thought of entering the Mountain Sea Pavilion, but the premise was that the Mountain Sea Pavilion could not restrict his freedom.

The woman pondered for a moment, then said: "I only accepted you as my disciple to return the favor. In the future, as long as you don't do anything harmful to your Sect, I won't interfere too much in the sect.

After receiving a satisfactory answer, Maki Chen naturally did not have any more worries. He bowed and said, "Then disciple Maki Chen will thank Master here!

The lady smiled, obviously she was extremely pleased with Maki Chen's performance.

Although I don't know how great your talent is, but just based on your composed attitude alone, you're a rare good seedling. Since you have already become my disciple, I will not be stingy.

The Origin Nurturing Pills were not particularly expensive, but they were one of the pills Maki Chen needed the most right now, and could directly increase his spirit energy.

If placed in front of the Blood Crystal, although Maki Chen could help raise his cultivation, it would take up to nine months to purify it. If he wanted to absorb all one hundred Blood Crystal, it would be hard to achieve in two to three months.

The Origin Nurturing Pills were relatively more convenient, as the spirit energy contained within could be directly absorbed, shortening the time it would take for Maki Chen to cultivate.

Receiving the porcelain bottle which contained the Origin Nurturing Pills, Maki Chen used the Spirit Soul to sense the contents of the bottle and discovered that there were exactly twenty little Origin Nurturing Pills inside the bottle. With these pills, he was one hundred percent sure that he would be able to enter the Primordial Soul Stage within three days.

Xi Mengyao stood beside the lady and played with the small version of Blacky. When she saw that her master actually took out an entire bottle of Energy Rejuvenation Pills and gave it to Maki Chen, she revealed a jealous expression.

Master, you're biased. Back then, when I broke through my Primordial Soul Stage, you didn't even give me that much! If he knew it would turn out like this, he shouldn't have brought his junior brother back!

The lady reached out her hands and rubbed Xi Mengyao's head, looking to be in love with him.

How old are you? Why are you still acting like a little kid? If you really want one, I'll go to your martial uncle and get two bottles.

Xi Mengyao laughed, and charmingly replied, "I don't want it, the Origin Nurturing Pills are useless to my current cultivation, I'll just leave it for junior brother!"
