TFHS: Chapter 105

The departure of Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo didn’t give the academy’s disciples much time to discuss it. It was because at this time, Sihong Academy finally welcomed the joining of Senior Jiang Qian.

This meant that Sihong Academy had added another strong person, and its strength would be further improved. This would be of great benefit to every disciple.

In addition, there were rumors that Jiang Qian would select disciples within the academy and teach them carefully.

This immediately made all the disciples excited. Once they became Jiang Qian’s disciples, their status would immediately rise and their strength would increase by leaps and bounds.

Just look at Feng Ming, and one would know how beneficial it would be to have a strong person as their teacher. Feng Ming himself might have outstanding talent, but he couldn’t do without Yu Xiao’s careful teaching.

Not only did his status in the academy rise rapidly, but his alchemy skills also improved rapidly.

Otherwise, no matter how talented Feng Ming was, he would have to start as an ordinary disciple. How could he enjoy the treatment of a ‘junior uncle’ and could no longer be looked down on by other disciples?

Even an unscrupulous young man from an aristocratic family like Wu Yingyan didn’t dare to take action against Feng Ming while Feng Ming was staying in the academy. Even Bai Qiaomo was protected by Feng Ming.

A group of disciples talked enthusiastically about the deeds of Senior Jiang Qian. Many people asked Song Wantong for information. Of course, this needed yuan crystals to purchase it. Song Wantong was a businessman who bought and sold information.

Song Wantong lived up to their expectations. The news he found was indeed not well-known to the public. For example, how many people in this world didn’t know about Jiang Qian’s pursuit of Geng Jiulang to avenge his granddaughter. There was no need to spend yuan crystals for such news.

Song Wantong provided other information.

“Senior Jiang’s situation is really tragic.”

“I’m not talking about Senior Jiang himself, but what happened to Senior Jiang’s children and grandchildren. It is really tragic. One granddaughter died tragically at the hands of the evil thief, Geng Jiulang. It turns out that there is also another grandson who has been seriously injured since childhood and can’t cultivate. Senior Jiang only has these two grandchildren. Before, his granddaughter was his only hope. Who would’ve thought it would end up like this?”

“Senior Jiang fell out with the Jiang family. Could there be another reason behind this?”

“Who knows? There are so many things in the noble families that aren’t exposed to the light. The Wan family in Gaoyang County actually harbored and condoned people like Geng Jiulang. Fortunately, the Wan family didn’t send their children to our Sihong Academy, or it would be disgusting to see the children of the Wan family.”

“So, the condition of Senior Jiang’s grandson is similar to Bai Qiaomo’s. It is a pity. However, there is Senior Jiang to protect him. This grandson will be worry-free for the rest of his life.”

“Yes, this is better than Bai Qiaomo. Not only was Bai Qiaomo abandoned by his master and Kunyuan Sect, but I heard that even his family abandoned him. At least this Young Master Jiang is protected by his grandfather.”

As they were talking about Jiang Qian’s past, Jiang Qian was bringing a young man to see Dean Pei. Both the grandfather and grandson were very grateful to Dean Pei.

Jiang Qian said, “Thank you very much for the prescription that you gave me, so that my grandson can see hope again. From now on, I, Jiang Qian, will be a member of Sihong Academy. As long as Dean Pei is here, I will never leave Sihong Academy. My grandson should also stay in the academy and practice with other disciples.”

“Yes, Grandfather, I, Jiang Jing, would like to thank Dean Pei for saving me. I will never forget Dean Pei’s kindness in giving me a new life.’

Jiang Jian was about to bow but Dean Pei quickly helped him up and said to Jiang Qian, “Since I have obtained the prescription, I can’t sit back and watch your grandson suffer. Moreover, it is an honor for Sihong Academy and myself to have Fellow Daoist Jiang join me.”

“Yes.”

Jiang Qian let go of the old things. His only grandson could start cultivating again and had no worries. He could finally show a relaxed smile, unlike the past few years when he was always gloomy.

His grandson had cheered up now. From now on, Jiang Qian just needed to take care of his grandson and watch him grow up. Now he could talk about some light topics with Dean Pei.

“I heard that Bai Qiaomo, the former genius of the Kunyuan Sect, has also become a disciple of the academy. Dean Pei has this good recipe. Why…”

He actually didn’t pay much attention to the situation of Bai Qiaomo, a junior, but his grandson used to like to hear about Bai Qiaomo’s deeds. Later, he learned from his grandson that Bai Qiaomo was abolished. As a result, Jiang Qian paid more attention to him because he suffered the same fate as his grandson. This allowed Jiang Qian to know that Bai Qiaomo had entered Sihong Academy.

Dean Pei showed a meaningful smile. “Fellow Daoist Jiang, why do you think I sent out the prescription for treatment at this time instead of earlier?”

Jiang Qian said, “Of course, you got the prescription recently.” He finished speaking and suddenly realized. “Is this prescription related to Bai Qiaomo?”

Pei Yuanhe smiled proudly. “It is a good thing that my disciple gave to his master. I now have three disciples under my name. The youngest disciple is exactly Bai Qiaomo. Fellow Daoist Jiang, do you understand now?”

He understood, he understood better than anyone. It turned out that his grandson’s benefactor was this little friend Bai Qiaomo.

Jiang Jing was overjoyed. It turned out that Bai Qiaomo had recovered before him and was accepted as the third disciple by Dean Pei, but there was no news about it from the outsider world.

The reason for this must be Dean Pei covering it up so that no one noticed it. Jiang Jing, who had suffered all these years, knew how important the prescription for repairing the dantian was. Naturally, it couldn’t be let out easily.

Even if he entered Sihong Academy with his grandfather, he would appear as an ordinary disciple instead of under the banner of his grandfather’s grandson.

There were many disciples surnamed Jiang. Outsiders only knew that his grandfather had a grandson. However, there was almost no news about this grandson’s name and what he looked like.

Dean Pei saved him. Naturally, he and his grandfather wouldn’t leak such an important recipe.

Jiang Qian, who understood, also laughed loudly. It was a pity that Bai Qiaomo and Feng Ming had already left the academy or he would definitely meet these two friends.

It was because Geng Jiulang’s death was also related to Feng Ming’s father, Feng Jinlin. It was related to Geng Jiulang, so he naturally checked the specific details and knew how Geng Jiulang was killed.

As Gong Yuming was complaining behind their backs, Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo had already left Lanshui City with a new image. Feng Ming had a black crystal turtle sitting on his shoulder as he and Bai Qiaomo stepped into a town called Nandou.

The black crystal turtle, whose entire body was as clear as glass, stretched his neck to look curiously at the town they entered.

The black crystal turtle was hatched from the gift beast egg sent by the Sheng family during Feng Ming’s time at Sihong Academy.

Before coming out of the shell, Feng Ming had hoped it would be a bird so that he and Bai Qiaomo could have a flying mount. Unexpectedly, what emerged was a small turtle that looked like a glass work of art. Still, Feng Ming liked it at first sight.

The newborn turtle wasn’t very big. Feng Ming often took it to and from Qiansui Peak. Only Yu Xiao and his six senior brothers and sisters knew about the existence of the black crystal turtle.

During this period, the little turtle didn’t gain any benefits from Feng Ming, but he ate a lot of natural treasures that were beneficial to him from the six senior brothers and sisters and Yu Xiao.

As a result, today’s little turtle was becoming more and more translucent and full of spirituality. There wasn’t the slightest bit of the aggression of wild beasts.

Feng Ming specifically checked the information of the black crystal turtle. The biggest feature of the black crystal turtle when it grew up was its excellent defense.

This was why Yu Xiao thought that his young disciple would gain benefits from raising a black crystal turtle. The attack power might not be strong, but what did an alchemist need? Naturally, it was the best means of defense.

In Yu Xiao’s opinion, this black crystal turtle was better than other pet beasts.

Due to this, Yu Xiao’s contribution to the rapid growth of the black crystal turtle during this period was huge. He also specially collected some natural materials and heavenly treasures from outside that were suitable for the black crystal turtle’s growth, feeding them into the little turtle’s mouth.

Now there were two people, one named Qiao Ze and the other named Qiao Hai. This once again proved Feng Ming’s carelessness in choosing names.

By the way, the little turtle was now called Xiao Jing. Feng Ming thought that this name was very vivid and suitable for the little turtle. Bai Qiaomo had no objections to this.

The two of them still walked around as brothers.

Feng Ming was like the little turtle. As he walked in the town, he looked around curiously and said with great interest, “The aura of the cultivators in Nandou Town is much stronger than that of the cultivators in Luoxia Town.”

Bai Qiaomo nodded. “It is much stronger because Nandou Town is close to the Nandou Mountains. The Nandou Mountains are full of vital energy and rich in resources. It is a place where cultivators love to go and practice. Therefore, the cultivators who go in and out of Nandou Town aren’t weak in strength. Luoxia Town can’t be compared to it.”

Feng Ming also read some relevant information. The reason why Nandou Town and the Nandou Mountains were named this was because the mountains looked very much like a funnel when viewed from the sky.

Correspondingly, there were the Beidou Mountains and Beidou Town.

The reason why the two of them chose to settle in Nandou Town was because there was a very special place called Netherworld Valley between the Nandou Mountains and Beidou Mountains.

Needless to say, Feng Ming came here for the Netherworld Valley. On the one hand, he wanted to see the abandoned mansion that would appear in the world soon. On the other hand, he came to target Wu Yingyan.

One of them was Yu Xiao’s disciple, and the other was Dean Pei’s disciple, so it was actually very easy for them to secretly embarrass Wu Yingyan inside the academy with such a status.

However, the two of them didn’t want to break the rules of the academy and get into trouble. What they were waiting for was the opportunity for Wu Yingyan to leave the academy.

They also knew that Wu Yingyan was also waiting for such an opportunity. It was difficult for him to attack them within the academy. After all, Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo were now protected by the Qiansui lineage. They were no longer targets who could be attacked without restraint.

Yu Xiao and Sihong Academy wouldn’t act like they hadn’t seen his actions like the Kunyuan Sect, who even covered up for him.

Before Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo left Sihong Academy, Wu Yingyan had left first. Of course, before leaving, he had left spies in the academy to pay attention to Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo’s movements, especially Feng Ming. If they heard any news, he would immediately be informed.

He wanted to see what those two people could rely on after leaving the protection of Yu Xiao and Sihong Academy.

Bai Qiaomo was already a useless person, and Wu Yingyan didn’t take him seriously at all. As for Feng Ming, he was only an alchemist in the middle stage of the qi gathering realm. Once he left the academy, wouldn’t he be at Wu Yingyan’s mercy?

In the academy, others had to respect Feng Ming’s status as a third-grade alchemist. However, outside, alchemists were the most vulnerable.

Of course, Wu Yingyan never thought that Feng Ming would leave the action right after him. It was because in his opinion, such a move would be seeking death.
