Chương 167: The Celestial Great Benefactor — Chen Xia
With Chen Xia taking over the matter of Yutai Mountain, the other several Law Elders couldn't be bothered to care anymore and dispersed.
It was now just Chen Xia and the headmaster of Yutai Mountain, Dao Yangzi, facing each other and chatting.
"You can call me Dao Yang." Dao Yangzi said deferentially to Chen Xia.
"Mm, okay." Chen Xia nodded slightly, switched the hand propping up his head, and chuckled softly.
"The incident at Yutai Mountain is truly heart-wrenching. I'm also deeply saddened. So, I will surely give your Yutai Mountain my full support."
Dao Yangzi's complexion was one of excitement. He felt that perhaps his luck was turning. Although Yutai Mountain had endured a catastrophe, if they could get acquainted with a Law Elder of the Azure Sky Sword Sea because of it, it would be a great blessing in disguise!
I wonder if he'd still be this happy if he knew that both the misfortune and the fortune were brought by the same person?
Probably he'd be doubting his life.
Fortunately, Dao Yangzi didn't know for now. He hurriedly replied to Chen Xia, "With your kind intention, it's truly a great fortune for Yutai Mountain. Yutai Mountain is willing to serve you loyally."
Chen Xia smiled and nodded. "Alright then. You first lead the cultivators of Yutai Mountain to search for the trace of that person. I'll go make some preparations."
"Okay, okay, okay." Dao Yangzi nodded hurriedly, not daring to show any negligence. Before leaving, he didn't forget to clasp his fists and bow deeply to Chen Xia, extremely solemn.
Chen Xia shook his head and muttered to himself.
"I'm going to catch myself?
It's really rather comical."
Since it had been confirmed that the Azure Sky Sword Sea wouldn't intervene, his external incarnation was safe. Ordinary cultivators generally wouldn't go to the Dead Star Region.
Even if they did, it would be extremely difficult to find his external incarnation hidden among the dead stars.
Without the Heavenly Mending Realm powerhouses taking action, these Sea Moving Realm cultivators really couldn't do anything to Chen Xia.
Chen Xia smiled faintly, clasped his hands behind his back, and strolled back to his cave abode. Sitting in front of the half-played chessboard, he began his so-called preparations.
Preparing for his next move.
The discussion about the Yutai Mountain incident within the Azure Sky Sword Sea gradually died down. After all, for the Azure Sky Sword Sea, it really wasn't a big deal.
However, there was a bit more talk about Yutai Mountain in the outside world. Mainly, people were questioning Yutai Mountain's combat strength, pushing Yutai Mountain to the bottom of the seven major sects, even lower than the neighboring Everlasting Life Sect.
Naturally, Yutai Mountain couldn't bear this. So, they gradually released some veiled messages.
Saying that Yutai Mountain had already formed a connection with a certain important figure in the Azure Sky Sword Sea.
They didn't disclose exactly who this important figure was, nor dared they to. They just spread this kind of message.
In addition, Yutai Mountain was also working very hard to latch onto Chen Xia's coattails. Dao Yangzi even specially sent ten thousand spirit stones to Chen Xia as a thank-you gift.
Chen Xia had always been one to accept gifts willingly. He accepted the ten thousand spirit stones, and at the same time, a new idea popped into his head.
If one sect could give him ten thousand spirit stones.
Weren't there other sects out there?
He could go and step on them one by one. When the sect heads came to complain to the Azure Sky Sword Sea, he could use the same trick again.
Wouldn't he easily get seventy thousand spirit stones?
Thinking of this, Chen Xia couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.
"Making money is so easy."
Just wait for others to send it over.
In addition, Zhang Daoming's Alchemy Association had also gotten on the right track. With the fame of Chen Xia refining top-grade dao pills, many alchemists and cultivators interested in alchemy had joined Zhang Daoming's Alchemy Association.
Among them, Zhang Daoming, Pi Hu, and a few others were responsible for teaching these cultivators. They were all top-notch spirit alchemists, and teaching these alchemists wasn't difficult.
The Alchemy Dao Association had begun to take shape, with a large number of cultivators joining. The membership fee for each person was one hundred spirit stones.
Chen Xia would take a cut, about thirty spirit stones per person.
In just a few years, he had five thousand spirit stones in his account, and it was a steady stream of income. What's more, he didn't even have to do the work himself. He could just lie back and make money.
Besides, there were also some spirit alchemists who came to the Alchemy Dao Association because of Chen Xia's reputation. Zhang Daoming obviously couldn't teach them.
These spirit alchemists were also willing to pay a large sum of money to ask Chen Xia to guide them for one class.
Zhang Daoming brought this message to Chen Xia, asking him to consider it, and all the income from the lectures would go to Chen Xia.
These spirit alchemists were generous. The combined spirit stones were already close to ten thousand, just to ask Chen Xia for guidance.
This made Chen Xia frown. He also wanted to teach, but the problem was that he really didn't know how.
Fortunately, Chen Xia was really quick-witted. He discussed with Zhang Daoming.
"I definitely don't know how to teach. Even if I did, they probably wouldn't understand. So, let's think differently. I'll refine dao pills in front of them and let them watch. What do you think?"
Zhang Daoming was silent for a while and then asked, "Are you sure that if you refine them in front of them, they'll be able to learn?"
"No." Chen Xia shook his head and began to explain.
"But if I teach, they won't understand either and will probably think I'm talking nonsense."
"But if I refine dao pills in front of them, they'll only think I'm amazing and that they're just not good enough."
Zhang Daoming was silent for another half a day and then couldn't help but nod. "Indeed."
For example, he was like this. If someone had told him before watching Chen Xia refine pills that he could refine dao pills with an iron pot and a spatula, he would surely have slapped them.
But after truly watching Chen Xia refine pills, he would only doubt himself.
Zhang Daoming thought it made sense and told those spirit alchemists.
The spirit alchemists were delighted. If they could watch a top-notch dao alchemist refine pills, it would be an extremely rare opportunity. They immediately agreed.
Zhang Daoming stood by, looking at these overjoyed alchemists.
All he could see was his former self.
If others knew about this, they would probably say indignantly.
Chen Xia, you're really doing all kinds of bad things!
———
Five years after the Yutai Mountain incident.
Chen Xia resumed his habit of writing a diary, recording his daily trivial matters when he had nothing to do.
"Today, the headmaster of Yutai Mountain came to me again, asking if I'd found any clues. He seemed a bit impatient."
"Anyway, I have only one attitude towards this matter."
"Ask and I'll say I'm looking. Press and I'll say don't rush."
"Since the headmaster of Yutai Mountain couldn't do anything about me, he gave me some more spirit stones and then left in a hurry."
"A real idiot."
At the end of the diary, Chen Xia didn't forget to give his sharp comment.
July 9th, Light Rain.
"Today is an important day. I warmed a pot of wine, wove two wreaths, and brought along spiritual beads. I went to Qiong Qi's grave."
"Yep, today is Qiong Qi's death anniversary."
"Even though we had some grudges when he was alive, I don't want to carry them over after his death."
"I hung the wreaths on his grave, suspended the spiritual beads, and poured the warmed wine. With the colorful and spinning spiritual beads, the atmosphere was really nice."
"If someone saw it at night, they might even think Qiong Qi's spirit had returned and was dancing on the grave."
"Alas, there are really not many people as kind-hearted as me in the world."
"..."
"I was going to leave just like that, but then I found there were offerings on Qiong Qi's grave. I opened them and saw it was dragon tendon stewed with turtle shell. It smelled really good."
"How could a dead person eat this kind of thing? It's really absurd."
"Out of kindness, I ate up Qiong Qi's offerings."
"If he knew in the underworld, he should be very touched."
