Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 105 Tianhu Questioning
"The sect's weapon refining inheritance is not comparable to the alchemy inheritance, let alone the formation inheritance. After all, they have a second-level formation master and many more disciples..."

Chen Mu curled his lips, but then shook his head and smiled.

"Let's leave it like this for now. We'll ask for repairs when we have the chance later..."

After thinking it over, he put away the Green Vine Lion Head Shield and took out a pill.

"With the supplies from the storage bags of the monks on Chixia Island, we are not in great need of elixirs for the time being. In the near future, we don't need to support Senior Brother Wei's business anymore."

He stared intently at the pill in his hand, but his mind was wandering.

After a moment, he was shocked, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and then he immediately swallowed the pill and began to practice.

If you want to become a true disciple, there are two ways. One is to get the first place in the two-peak competition, and the other is to reach the twelfth level of Qi Condensation before the age of thirty-six.

It has been nearly fourteen years since he started practicing Buddhism, and he is twenty-five years old. Although it seems that he still has ten years to go, if he can step into the ranks of true disciples as early as possible, he should do so as there are many benefits.

Chen Mu had already made plans to continue practicing hard for several more years, but who knew that before even a few days had passed, he would have to go down the cliff...

……

At noon, Chen Mu sat cross-legged in the Tinghai Pavilion, holding a jade slip containing the Xuanyuan Wulong Technique in his hand, concentrating on comprehending the key points of it.

"Whoosh!..."

A light sound cut through the sky and stopped steadily in front of his pavilion door, then shook and made a buzzing sound from time to time to remind him to investigate quickly.

"Sound transmission jade slip?"

Chen Mu frowned slightly, put away the jade slip that recorded the Xuanyuan Mist Dragon Technique, stood up, walked straight out of the pavilion, and shot a stream of magic power into the air.

"Chen Mu, come to the top of Tianhu Peak as soon as possible."

The calm voice of Lin Shuyun, the master of Tianhu Peak, slowly came out from inside.

Chen Mu's brows did not relax, but tightened instead, and he looked very surprised.

"What can I do for you?"

He had never seen Lin Shuyun call him on weekdays, so when he encountered this situation for the first time, he was really confused.

Although he was confused, Chen Mu did not delay after receiving the order. He immediately controlled the Wind Pattern Cloud Banner and flew straight to the top of Tianhu Peak.

After a moment, he waved his hand to disperse the Wind Walking Technique and landed at a place on the top of the mountain.

He looked around and found that there were very few disciples coming and going here, most of them were on duty.

"Senior Brother Chen."

A pretty female cultivator came forward to greet them.

"Is Junior Sister Wang on duty here again today?"

Chen Mu looked in the direction of the voice and asked with a smile.

The female cultivator surnamed Wang smiled and said, "It is true that we are destined to be together. Senior Brother, every time you came, I was the one to greet you... Come with me."

Chen Mu nodded and strode to follow the pace of the female cultivator named Wang who turned around and led the way.

Green carp swim in the water and water corridors extend.

Not long after, Chen Mu and the others arrived at the gate of Tianhu main hall.

The female cultivator surnamed Wang turned around and said with a smile, "Senior Brother Chen, please go in and wait. The Peak Master will be here soon."

Chen Mu nodded slightly and walked in, then walked to the side of the hall to wait, still wondering what had brought him here. After about a quarter of an hour, he looked up at the side door of the hall.

Lin Shuyun, still wearing a light blue dress, walked lightly towards the main seat in the hall.

Chen Mu immediately bowed and saluted: "Peak Master."

After Lin Shuyun sat down, he looked at Chen Mu, nodded, and chuckled, "I haven't seen you for a while... From the fluctuations of your magical power, I can tell that you haven't wasted your time. I'm very relieved."

Chen Mu replied, "Thank you for the compliment, Peak Master. I am humbled."

He subconsciously responded by speaking, then asked softly, "I wonder why the Peak Master summoned me here?"

Lin Shuyun didn't respond directly, but instead asked Chen Mu: "It's not a big deal... I remember hearing you say before that when you were at a lower level, you often drew talismans and went to Tianhe Market to exchange them for resources?"

When the two peaks were compared, Chen Mu stood out and attracted everyone's attention, so Taoist Zhang mentioned it once. In addition, when she was investigating Chen Mu's opportunities, she had heard him mention it, so she wrote it down.

Chen Mu's heart moved when he heard this, and he nodded subtly and replied: "Yes, all the resources for the disciples' initial cultivation were earned in this way."

Lin Shuyun nodded slightly and said calmly, "Then do you know the disciple who is in charge of the Treasure Pavilion in Tianhe Market? What's his name... Hu..."

"Hu Yuanliang." Chen Mu said softly.

I used to call him Senior Brother Hu, and I almost forgot Manager Hu’s real name.

He couldn't pretend to deny knowing her. Since Lin Shuyun had asked him, it meant that they knew each other. If he pretended not to know her, it would only make her suspicious...

"That's right, Hu Yuanliang..." Lin Shuyun said softly, then looked at Chen Mu below and said slowly: "This head disciple has not appeared in Tianhe Market for several months, and has delayed many of the sect's affairs in Tianhe Market..."

"Yesterday, the headmaster handed this matter over to me. After I summoned the servants from the Treasure Pavilion to question them, I heard that Hu Yuanliang had met with you before his last appearance... I wonder if this is true?"

After finishing speaking, Lin Shuyun stared at Chen Mu calmly. Although he did not deliberately show the fluctuations of his spiritual consciousness in the foundation-building period, Chen Mu still felt a little oppressive.

He and Manager Hu have always been in open contact, so it's normal for the servants in the pavilion to know him...

He couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart. After forcibly suppressing the mixed thoughts in his mind, he said calmly, "I don't know, but I did go to Tianhe Market about three months ago. I wanted to buy some thunder crystals for practicing magic..."

In fact, even if he confessed that he went to the East China Sea to search for treasure with Manager Hu, and then said that Manager Hu died unfortunately due to danger, there should not be any big problem. At most, he would be investigated by Lin Shuyun.

But if he said that, he would have to cover up too many lies. After all, there were many things about his trip to the East China Sea that did not stand up to scrutiny. It would be better to just pretend that he didn't know.

"More than three months ago..." Lin Shuyun nodded slightly. It seemed to agree with what the servant said. After thinking for a moment, she continued, "It's best if it has nothing to do with you. I'll send someone else to look for him..."

Chen Mu looked calm and nodded in agreement.

"The Treasure Pavilion in Tianhe Market cannot be without a leader any longer. As for who should be sent to take the position of head, do you have any recommendations?"

Chen Mu was stunned for a moment, and asked softly in surprise, "Me?"

Lin Shuyun chuckled and said, "If not you, then who else could it be? These mundane affairs were previously handled by Xu Yang... Now, among all the immortal seedlings in the peak, you have the highest reputation, so you have to share more of the responsibilities."

Chen Muqiang laughed and replied, "I'm afraid Peak Master has found the wrong person. I only know a few fellow disciples, so I don't know who would be suitable."

He didn't want to be entangled in mundane affairs, which would delay his cultivation and be counterproductive.

Lin Shuyun was not one to force things, but she also couldn't recognize too many low-level disciples, so this matter really gave her a headache. She looked at Chen Mu and said with a smile: "Just this once, just this once, do this, and I will never ask you for worldly affairs in the future."

As the master of the peak, his words sounded like he was trying to coax people.

Chen Mu laughed inwardly, knowing he couldn't refuse any longer, or else it would only cause him endless trouble. So he nodded and said, "Disciple obeys."

People in this world are so strange. Some are greedy for power, while others are afraid to avoid worldly affairs...
