Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 108: Gift of Pills on the Cliff
Qi Jing's resolute and inspiring voice echoed in the slightly empty Dharma Hall.

Chen Mu nodded. He believed in Han Jing's judgment. Since he dared to push Qi Jing here, he must not make a big mistake under normal circumstances.

"That's good. Later, Senior Brother Qi will need to accompany me to the top of Tianhu Peak to discuss the task with the Peak Master."

Qi Jing smiled continuously and nodded in response, "I understand. Thank you, Junior Brother Chen."

Chen Mu pursed his lips slightly, turned around, smiled at Han Jing, and walked out of the hall.

Qi Jing didn't know when Chen Mu meant "wait a moment", so he hurried to follow when he saw this.

Chen Mu left the hall and found Zou Yongyi and two outer disciples still standing around waiting. So he waved to him and said loudly, "Junior Brother Zou, it's been a few years since we last met. Is your training going well?"

When he saw Zou Yongyi for the first time just now, he saw that his current realm was barely at the third level of Qi Condensation, which was far inferior to Ye Ning who had already entered the inner sect.

But judging from his aptitude, his current realm is already pretty good. After all, the two immortal seedlings beside him, who entered the Qinghe Prefecture with him, are still at the second level of Qi Condensation.

Zou Yongyi took two quick steps, chuckled upon hearing this, scratched his head and replied, "Not bad, I just broke through to the third level a few months ago."

Seeing this, Chen Mu nodded slightly and sighed in his heart. Zou Yongyi's behavior was still the same as before, like a child who had never grown up.

"Just do your best, and don't force it."

He said it out loud without warning.

"Hmm." Zou Yongyi hummed softly, then said with a serious expression, "Senior Sister Ye is much better than me. I have to work harder to catch up with her."

After hearing this, Chen Mu pursed his lips and said nothing. However, Han Jing, who was standing beside him, became interested and leaned close to Chen Mu's ear and whispered, "Why do I feel like this kid has some feelings for me... He's only about twelve or thirteen, so why is he so young?"

Zou Yongyi started learning at the age of nine, so he was actually twelve or thirteen years old at this time.

Chen Mu nodded and replied, "It's not really a romantic relationship. I guess it's just a little affection we've developed over time..."

"Oh." Han Jing opened her red lips slightly, a thoughtful look appeared on her face, and she stopped talking.

After Chen Mu talked to Zou Yongyi and the other two for a while, he waved his hand and let them go.

"Senior Sister, the Peak Master summoned me today to ask about something, so I haven't been practicing. Why don't we take advantage of this opportunity and go together to complete the task?"

The reason why he asked Han Jing to join him was that if he could complete the task, he could also share some of the credit with her.

Han Jing nodded in agreement, then called Qi Jing, and the three of them strode towards Tianhu Peak, talking and laughing.

We walked up the mountain steps without stopping and soon arrived at the main hall of Tianhu.

Chen Mu called the female cultivator named Wang who was on duty, told her that he wanted to see the peak master, and then walked aside to wait.

A quarter of an hour later, Lin Shuyun sat down at the top with a look of surprise on his face, and asked softly, "Didn't I just tell you earlier that it only took a short while for you to find the right person? Don't be so cavalier. If anything goes wrong, I'll be the first to find you!"

After saying that, he turned his eyes slightly and looked at Qi Jing who was standing below with his hands clasped in a salute posture, and looked him up.

Chen Mu's brows relaxed as he replied, "Disciple wouldn't dare... This Senior Brother Qi has been a deacon for many years and is well-versed in worldly affairs. He is indeed the right person."

Before he finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Han Jing, who was now serving beside Lin Shuyun, and continued, "In fact, it was also with Senior Sister Han's advice that I was able to choose the candidate so quickly." "Oh?" Lin Shuyun turned to look at Han Jing, smiled, nodded, and said, "In that case, let's decide on this person."

Until now, Lin Shuyun had not said a word to Qi Jing in the audience, and directly assigned him the task. He only said a few words of encouragement to him when he finally issued the order.

But this did not affect Qi Jing's excitement. After receiving the order, he immediately made a promise and almost knelt down to thank Lin Shuyun...

After a while, Chen Mu and the other two left the main hall and walked together on the corridor.

Qi Jing tightly grasped the edict in his hand and continued to thank Chen Mu and the others as he followed behind. At first, Chen Mu and the others politely said that this was not necessary, but it turned out to be useless. Qi Jing continued to do so, as if he couldn't even control himself, so they could only let him do so...

Fortunately, not long after, the three of them returned to the Duhai Cliff. After Qi Jing took the information about Wu Jinhai, a casual cultivator from Tianhe Market, which Chen Mu had prepared for him, he said goodbye and left.

But Chen Mu thought about letting Qi Jing get in touch with Wu Jinhai. If Qi Jing had any changes in the future, he would also be able to learn from Wu Jinhai...

Looking at Qi Jing's back as he walked down the mountain, Chen Mu and the others breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"Why didn't I realize that Senior Brother Qi has this kind of personality before..."

Han Jing shook her head and smiled, muttering.

Chen Mu nodded slightly when he heard this, pursed his lips and said nothing.

After a moment, he said softly, "Thank you so much, Senior Sister Han. Without your help, I don't know how much more effort I would have spent."

Han Jing snorted lightly and pretended to be angry, "If you continue to be so polite, I will never help you again!"

Chen Mu immediately shut up and stopped talking. He was fed up with Qi Jing's words of thanks, so he knew that if he just kept thanking him, it would make people feel disgusted.

Seeing that he really stopped talking, Han Jing raised her chin proudly, walked to the sea-viewing platform with lotus steps, looked around with lowered eyebrows, found a place, bent her legs and sat down slowly.

Chen Mu also took two steps forward and sat down not far from her. He had an idea and patted the storage bag on his waist.

"Senior Sister, this is a Barrier Breaking Pill I stumbled upon. Judging from the spiritual patterns on it, I suspect it might be quite effective... Aren't you at a bottleneck? Take this pill when you return."

A pill suddenly appeared in his palm and he handed it to Han Jing.

Han Jing was startled when he saw this, but then his expression straightened up and his tone became much more serious. He spoke word by word, "Junior brother, I'm not helping you for this."

"I know, but this is indeed my way of expressing my gratitude. I hope Senior Sister will accept it."

Han Jing's expression eased slightly as he continued, "I've hit a bottleneck, and my junior brother will be no exception. I'll leave it to you for your own use."

Chen Mu smiled slightly and said, "The fact that you can give it to Senior Sister means that I still have some left... Take it quickly. When Senior Sister reaches the Foundation Establishment Stage in the future, you can fulfill your promise to protect me."

Chen Mu was lying. He had found this Barrier Breaking Pill from the remains of a cultivator from Chixia Island. There was only one of it, and it was probably what he had left over from when he broke through the eleventh level.

"Ah..." Han Jing exclaimed softly and then laughed out loud, her nose wrinkled slightly. She accepted the pill from Chen Mu's hand and said softly, "Junior Brother Chen, the road of cultivation is long. It's great to have your help..."
