Chapter 108: Farewell, Fu Ming

  "Master, a disciple of Luo Yunzong wants to see you, his name is Fu Ming!"

  Zhou Yan told Wang Chen everything about the Divine Sword Peak after meeting him, and only then did he mention this small matter.

  This is indeed a small matter, since the news of Wang Chen's death came out, not to mention the Qi Refining stage disciples, even the Foundation Building stage executives want to get along with Wang Chen, and they can't wait to join the Divine Sword Peak, it's just that Wang Chen's cultivation is not in the Golden Dan stage!

  So, for a Qi-training period disciple to meet Wang Chen is indeed a small matter!

  Wang Chen nodded in satisfaction, which was a praise for Zhou Yan's management of Shenjian Peak. He then rewarded some spiritual stones and elixirs. However, upon hearing Zhou Yan's report, Wang Chen shook his head.

  "I don't recall knowing a disciple named Fu Ming!"

  "He said he is with his master in Fuyue City!"

  Zhou Yan suddenly remembered something and said a sentence. Wang Chen heard it and was slightly stunned, then seemed to remember something!

  "Oh! It's him, let him in!"

  Shen Jian Peak, as a Golden Elixir cultivator's mountain, also has many subtleties. Just talking about palaces, there are dozens of them, such as the Miscellaneous Hall, the Spiritual Beast Shop, and so on! Wang Chen only occupied two palaces, which is already very few in comparison!

  Jian Ge, sounds like the name of a pavilion, is actually the main hall of Shen Jian Peak, because Wang Chen was very annoying and gave it this name, and no one dared to oppose!

  Half a time of work, Wang Chen had been waiting for some impatience, finally saw someone walking in from outside!

  Blue shirt, clear eyebrows and eyes, looks a bit handsome, and the expression gives people a kind of gentle feeling!

  "Disciples pay their respects to the elder!"

  The blue-shirted cultivator entered the hall and respectfully made a bow, his expression somewhat constrained. Especially after seeing Wang Chen, his expression changed several times, finally switching from his original tone of fellow disciples to that of junior and senior!

  "Junior brother, no need to be polite, there's no outsider here! Just treat me as you did when we were in Fuyue City!"

  Wang Chen smiled and said, although slightly disappointed, he still looked calm!

  Fu Ming Shixiong heard this and hesitated slightly, thought for a moment, and his expression became much calmer, but the respect between his eyebrows did not decrease in the slightest!

  "At first in Fuyue City, it wasn't that Master Shi didn't save the elder! It's just that at the time he was worried about my injuries, so..."

  Fu Ming explained the reason at the beginning, his tone was intermittent, and Wang Chen interrupted him:

  "Fu Ze's concern for his son's well-being is understandable, and it's great to see that Shifu can recognize Fu Ze as well! Earlier when my disciple told me about this, I was still wondering how I could have a disciple with the surname Fu, but it turns out that my disciple has changed his surname and followed Fu Ze!"

  Wang Chen smiled and said with a tone as if he was talking to an old friend.

  Actually, geniuses like Wang Chen and Feng Wuji are the ones who lack friends more, especially when most people have ulterior motives towards them. A good friend is even harder to come by!

  Ordinary masters, when encountering those with greater strength than themselves, or geniuses like Wang Chen and Feng Wuji, tend to be somewhat reserved, not daring to open their hearts and chat freely.

  Fu Ming was indeed a more straightforward person. Since Wang Chen was being so polite, he gradually relaxed and even started chatting with him, addressing him as "Shixiong" (older brother).

  Jianxuan Small Pavilion, this is the small pavilion named by Wang Chen, it was built not long ago, and Wang Chen has been busy all along. This is the first time he brought someone here!

  "Senior brother, actually what I envy the most is someone like you who's a genius. Your abilities are outstanding. If only I could be like you, maybe I'd be able to help my father!"

  Wang Chen listened to Fu Ming's account of his own cultivation journey, and had a different taste in his heart. After taking a sip of wine, he spoke up:

  "Senior brother, after recognizing the one who owes him a debt of gratitude, shouldn't he be content and fulfilled? Why do I see a hint of worry between junior brother's eyebrows?"

  Feng Ming shook his head and took a sip of wine, but he didn't have the slightest interest in savoring it. Instead, he seemed to be drowning his sorrows!

  "After my father acknowledged me, he treated me better and wanted to make up for what he owed my mother. However, Father was too stubborn and only had his heart set on forming the elixir, even going so far as to condense an embryo!"

  As he spoke, Pei Ming's face showed a rare look of melancholy.

  "I also know that Father is good to me, but he still puts cultivation first, and Mother and I are at most relegated to after cultivation!"

  Wang Chen was speechless, and didn't know how to comfort him. Instead, he somewhat agreed with the way Fu Zhi had handled things, because Wang Chen did the same thing. After a while, Wang Chen finally spoke up and asked:

  "Do you hate your father?"

  "Resentment?" Fu Ming flashed a look of astonishment, shook his head, "How could I? I've always hoped to have a father since I was young, and now that I've finally found one, how could I resent him? I'm just a bit worried...I don't know if he'll be able to successfully form his dan. If he fails, he'll definitely be very upset!"

  At this point, Fu Ming seemed to have thought of something and his face turned red as he said: "I almost forgot the purpose of my visit. I heard that Shifu got a lot of spiritual herbs in the Dragon's Descent Valley. I want to borrow one or two pearls from you for my father. Once my father succeeds in forming his elixir, I will definitely return them to you!"

  Fu Ming, who was speaking fluently just now, stuttered when he got to this point, and judging from his expression, he seemed worried that Wang Chen would refuse.

  Gently putting down his wine cup, Wang Chen smiled slightly and said:

  "Don't worry, younger brother. Since you've already spoken up, I'll definitely help out. Although the spiritual grass specifically used for forming dan is indeed not available here, there are some that can serve as auxiliary aids!"

  Wang Chen handed over a pearl of earth attribute thousand year spirit grass and a thousand year red fruit to Fu Ming, who was excited for a moment before putting away the jade box and hurrying away.

  The cultivation method of Fuzi should be an earth-attribute technique, and a thousand-year-old earth-attribute spiritual grass should have some auxiliary effect, probably increasing the elixir formation rate by about 10%, and with the effect of Zhu Guo on cultivators, Fuzi's elixir formation success rate can be increased by more than 20%.

  Adding the reserve of Dan medicine stored by the executioner himself should be about it!

  Wang Chen tried to consider it from the perspective of an ordinary cultivator advancing in rank and found that the probability of paying off the debt was already not small!

  However, Wang Chen still shook his head. The Cong Dan was not that simple. If he took the pill, the potential after the Cong Dan would not be very high, because the Golden Pill also had a ranking!

  After finishing the tasks assigned by Ming, Wang Chen also had some leisure time. Every day, he would accompany Qian Lao to chat and drink tea. After all, Qian Lao was old and his time of departure was not far away. Even if Wang Chen wanted to help him achieve immortality, it was beyond his power!

  On the contrary, Qian Lao felt relieved and thought that being a friend of Wang Chen, such a talented disciple, made his life worthwhile.

  But Wang Chen was not just going through the motions either, he had his own plans in secret!

  Four days after Wang Chen left the pass, a message was passed down from the masters on the platform that they had already contacted Gao Xuan and Ye San, and the three would come to pay their respects to Wang Chen five days later.

  On the fifth day after leaving the customs, Zhou Yan also passed on a message that Shi Tian's siblings had gone out and returned, and Wang Chen's transmission symbol had been given to them. Shi Tong also said that he would definitely come to meet in half a month!

  Thinking of Shi Tong's initial appearance, a gentle smile flashed across Wang Chen's face.

  "Feng Ming is so loyal, Shi Tong shouldn't have any problems!"

  Although it's been a long time since they last met, Wang Chen still has confidence in the lovely and kind girl Tong Shi used to be, despite not knowing what setbacks she might have experienced.

  But somehow, Wang Chen always had a hint of worry in his heart, because Shi Tong was a clever girl, and many times being too clever could be misleading, like Fu Ming's slightly muddled brain, but he valued relationships even more!

  "I hope I'm just overthinking!"
