Kapitel 225: It Was a Bright and Sunny Morning
Zhen Hu left with more than ten flying shuttles of the Starry Sky Elixir Gate.
As he was leaving, he looked at Chen Xia reluctantly. He touched the half Great Pill in his bosom repeatedly, feeling like crying. He even wanted to directly invite Chen Xia to live in the Starry Sky Elixir Gate.
Not even his own father had treated him this well. Half a Great Pill was given away so generously. If this was the kindness from a stranger, then Chen Xia's kindness had completely filled him.
However, Zhen Hu didn't take it for nothing. He was quite sensible. He couldn't just accept it for free when Chen Xia said it was a gift.
So Zhen Hu specially took out 50,000 spirit stones as a token of gratitude for Chen Xia.
Just saying the words "token of gratitude"already made him seem very good.
Chen Xia didn't refuse. He accepted it all and told Zhen Hu to come to him whenever he wanted to refine any pills in the future, and they would follow the agreed 8 - 2 split.
Zhen Hu beamed with joy and quickly agreed.
Bai Jie stood aside, also smiling along.
Chen Xia glanced at him and suddenly waved his hand. "Come here."
"Sure, father,"Bai Jie didn't dare to be slow. He rushed over immediately.
"Won't your real father be angry if he knows?"Chen Xia asked curiously.
"My real father died long ago. I grew up eating the food of various families. Now you are my real father,"Bai Jie replied quickly, fearing that he might lose Chen Xia as his backer.
Chen Xia didn't comment. He continued, "Anyway, you've shown me the way. Even if you haven't made great contributions, you've put in a lot of effort. I don't have any good pills on me right now. I'll give you some top - grade spirit pills."
Bai Jie nodded quickly. "Thank you, father."
Although top - grade spirit pills were far inferior to half a Great Pill, they were still quite good. They were definitely worth several thousand spirit stones.
Only the Sect Master at the third level of the Heaven - Mending Realm could get half a Great Pill. It was quite fitting for him, a Protector of the Sect at the seventh level of the Sea - Overturning Realm, to receive a top - grade spirit pill.
"Here you are,"Chen Xia said, taking out a bright green pill and handing it to Bai Jie.
Bai Jie quickly took it. After a quick glance, his eyes sparkled.
It was a top - grade and extremely rare Vitality Pill. It could be sold for a high price of 8,000 spirit stones. It was really quite good.
His face beamed with joy, and he was about to bow and express his gratitude.
Suddenly, Chen Xia reached out his hand again.
There was more?!
Bai Jie's expression was filled with delight. He quickly took it and examined it.
It was a Scarlet Flame White Fire Pill worth 7,000 spirit stones.
That added up to 15,000 spirit stones. This was quite a generous gift.
Chen Xia rummaged around again, then reached out once more. Five golden pills were placed all in Bai Jie's hand. They were from the batch he had refined earlier.
Zhen Hu, watching from the side, furrowed his brows deeply.
Were top - grade spirit pills so worthless?
Was Chen Xia just too powerful, or was he falling behind the times?
"Here are some more. Take them all. These were refined before. I don't really like them. These aren't worth much either. You can take them for fun,"Chen Xia said as he rummaged through his clothes and took out more than a dozen top - grade spirit pills, all giving them to Bai Jie.
Bai Jie held the top - grade spirit pills in both hands. The look in his eyes when he looked at Chen Xia changed from enthusiasm to piety.
"That's all. They're not really precious things. Just consider them small gifts,"Chen Xia said casually, waving his hand.
His main approach was to win people over with kindness.
Bai Jie moved his lips but didn't say anything. A look of joy and piety appeared on his face as he clearly called out,
"Master!"
Chen Xia seemed to sneeze. He knew that there was now a sad, thick wall between him and Bai Jie.
Fortunately, he was on the upper side of the wall.
After that, Zhen Hu and Bai Jie left. Both of them were extremely respectful towards Chen Xia.
The surrounding cultivators were disappointed that they didn't get to see any excitement, but they were even more curious about the more than ten flying shuttles. They inquired everywhere but couldn't get any news.
In the following few days, nothing happened. The big yellow dog started spacing out even more often. Sometimes, it could sit there with its eyes open, spacing out for several hours without saying a word.
Once, Chen Xia sat beside the big yellow dog and vaguely heard it murmur in a low voice,
"Cang Mang."
He didn't know what "Cang Mang"meant, but he could ask.
However, no one knew. Even Zhen Hu, the Sect Master of the Starry Sky Elixir Gate, didn't know what "Cang Mang"meant. There were just too many things related to "Cang Mang"in the realm, and it was impossible to determine.
Chen Xia asked for all the information about "Cang Mang". He read through them one by one.
He did receive some news. Even a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator named Cang Mang at the lower tier was recorded.
Chen Xia went to check. All he could say was that this Nascent Soul Realm cultivator had nothing to do with the "Cang Mang"the big yellow dog mentioned.
After that, there were also medicinal materials, Dao fruits, and magical techniques starting with "Cang Mang".
Chen Xia didn't find any clues.
Zhang Daoming accompanied Chen Xia in the search. He said, "The big yellow dog should be the reincarnation of some great expert."
"Hmm,"Chen Xia already knew this. Qiong Qi, the Third Elder, and the Fishing Old Man had all mentioned this matter.
Was the incarnation of this great expert related to "Cang Mang"?
Chen Xia wasn't sure. He had read all the information about cultivators named "Cang Mang", but the highest - level one was only at the Sea - Overturning Realm. Far from being a great expert.
However, these were only the news within the realm. It was possible that the big yellow dog was from outside the realm, so they couldn't find any information.
So Chen Xia asked Zhen Hu to send people to search across the Star Gate. As long as they got any news, he would refine a Dao pill.
Zhen Hu naturally agreed with joy. People from the Starry Sky Elixir Gate went out one after another. When they came back, they had some news, more or less, but none of it was what Chen Xia wanted.
Until the 50th year.
A piece of news reached Chen Xia's ears.
Cang Mang, the Quasi - Emperor!
Cultivated from the Cang Mang Divine Body, an unparalleled powerhouse in the Great Heavens. Once hailed as the number one under the Great Emperor, he was invincible and had severed two star rivers.
Later, due to the failure of his attempt to prove the Great Emperor's Dao, unwilling to die, he disappeared into the long river of time, and his whereabouts were unknown.
This was the news about Cang Mang, the Quasi - Emperor. It was simple and not very clear.
However, Chen Xia's gaze towards the big yellow dog became clearer. Because the described experience was just a perfect fit and very similar to that of the big yellow dog.
After that, he started looking for other news about Cang Mang, the Quasi - Emperor. He even offered half a Great Pill as a reward.
But he didn't get any useful information.
Zhen Hu was also at a loss. He shook his head and said, "Brother, Cang Mang, the Quasi - Emperor, was from several great eras ago. There's very little information that can be collected. Maybe only those old monsters who have lived through two great eras would know some news."
"Hmm,"Chen Xia nodded.
He didn't have any better ideas either.
Now the big yellow dog spaced out more and more often. Sometimes, it would space out for half a day, and it was hard to stop.
Zhang Daoming stayed at home to take care of things. He didn't go out to drink anymore. Maybe he had quit drinking, or perhaps he never had an alcohol addiction.
Until a sunny morning.
Chen Xia called the awake big yellow dog to play chess. He even set up the chessboard first and said with a light smile, "Let's have a battle?"
"Coming,"the big yellow dog grinned and trotted over to sit in front of the chessboard.
Chen Xia also sat down. Following the routine he had used for thousands of years, he picked up the Cannon, moved it over the Soldier, and captured the Horse. Then he smiled and said,
"Your Horse is gone."
But this time, there was no response.
He looked up.
The big yellow dog had closed its eyes and fallen into a deep sleep.
