CBGC – ch91.2

“What Fire is this?” asks Liu Feizhou.

“Ah?” Su Tingyun herself doesn’t know what this fire is, or what rank it’s in, so she shakes her head.  “I don’t know what it’s called, but it must be very powerful. If I have to choose a name, I plan to call it Little Hong.” little Red

Liu Feizhou: “…”

As a breeze blows by, the flame in Su Tingyun’s palm trembles.

Liu Feizhou waves his hand with a dark face, “Take your Pill Fire away, take it away!”

He takes a deep breath to calm down, and it’s only after a while that he could speak: “What kind of Pill Cauldron do you use, I have a good one here…”

While talking, he takes out a turquoise Pill cauldron with a plain and simple style, carved with dragons and phoenixes. But before he finishes speaking, he watches Su Tingyun also take out a small cauldron.

Liu Feizhou immediately straightens up, takes the cauldron in Su Tingyun’s hand, and carefully inspects it. After a while, he croaks, “Could it be, this is the Heaven Mending Cauldron used by the Farmer God in the past?”

Su Tingyun has only used this a few times to make her Pills, because she never had many herbs, and she’s recently been busy with some troublesome matters. At this moment, Liu Feizhou is looking at the Pill Cauldron like he’s looking at his wife, with starlight shining in his eyes. She smiles and says, “If you like it, I’ll trade it with you.”

With that, Su Tingyun snatches the Pill cauldron in Liu Feizhou’s other hand, and says: “I bought it with a middle-grade spirit stone. Great value.”

“A middle-grade spirit stone?” Liu Feizhou stares at Su Tingyun unblinkingly, his eyes almost popping out. Did the person who sold this alchemy cauldron think it was an iron cooking pot?

Is this a fool’s luck?

“Well, it’s because of this Pill cauldron that I have some enmity with that Ming Yan.”

“Oh.” Liu Feizhou nods, thinking that Ming Yan is also an ignorant person. Otherwise, she would have done everything to get this Heaven Mending Cauldron, even if she risked her life for it. Fortunately, he got rid of her earlier, so as not to leave troubles behind.

Thinking of this, Liu Feizhou looks up at Su Tingyun, and asks solemnly, “Are you sure you want to trade it with mine?”

Su Tingyun beams, and is about to put away the Pill cauldron he gave her, when Liu Feizhou reaches out to stop her, “Wait.”

He takes out from his Storage Treasure an emerald green Pill Cauldron, engraved with green bamboo, “This is the Pill cauldron that I often use, it’s better than that one.”

After trading their cauldrons with each other, Su Tingyun feels more at ease.

On the other hand, Bai Chengyu, who’s secretly listening in the corner, has a troubled expression on his face, “M’Lord, Granny gave away the cauldron you gave her to someone else…”

At that time, it was inconvenient to give it directly, so it had to be sold to avoid making a debt of gratitude. Now it’s good. Bai Chengyu mutters silently, “M’Lord, the Pill cauldron you collected, your Pill cauldron…”

The old friends chat for a while, and Liu Feizhou decides to take a look around on the Obliteration Sword Island as he has nothing to do. Su Tingyun also accompanies him to see the scenery, and introduce the Sect where she’s now staying.

Liu Feizhou is also very happy to get the Heaven Mending Cauldron, so he walks all the way like a boy scattering his money. Whenever he encounters someone, he gives a bottle of Pills, so all the cultivators of the Obliterations Sword Tower are so happy they’re smiling from ear to ear.

One should remember that they have lived a poor life before. No one was willing to consume Pills, and they suffered by themselves whenever they got injured.

As a result, after walking for a short distance and seeing Master Zhan Yu approaching again, she shakes her head and clears her mind. A corner of Liu Feizhou’s mouth twitches, but he still gives another bottle.

In less than a quarter of an hour, they come across Master and Xiao Budian again.

It’s no wonder Xiao Budian is so shameless, he has learned it all from his master!

“Is everyone short of Pills?” Liu Feizhou inquires.

“I don’t have anything to do recently, so I’ll refine Pills in the Obliterations Sword Tower for a month before leaving.” The benefits of the Heaven Mending Cauldron are immeasurable, and he’d be happy to refine Pills for a hundred years for nothing.

“Ah, that’s really great.” Zhan Yu’s smile spreads across his face. Although Bai Chengyu also has some pills, their grades are too high, and are in fact not suitable for their use. If they really eat those, they’ll feel that it’s such a waste, it would hurt their heart.

Xiao Budian pipes up, “But we don’t have money to buy medicinal herbs.”

Liu Feizhou raises his eyebrows, “Tomorrow I’ll go buy herbs, and you can make a list of the Pills you need.”

Su Tingyun looks at Liu Feizhou beside her, and feels a lot of emotions. He’s actually so easy to talk to, he’s really changed his personality.

To think that back then, he was a vicious guy who kicked her for the smallest matters!

The next day, Master Zhan Yu hands over a list of all the Pills that everyone needs.

Su Tingyun takes a look, and finds that they are all low-level pills. In fact, everyone has some decency, and they don’t open their mouths too wide because they know to have some consideration.

She looks at it and discovers that Little Uncle hasn’t written down a request, so she takes the initiative to say, “My Little Uncle usually cultivates his swordsmanship at the bottom of the Lake, and he has suffered a lot of injuries. He is at the Golden Core Stage and needs a higher-level Recovery Pill. Moreover, at the bottom of the Lake, the obsession of the souls within the flying swords are too great. It would be best to have some high-level concentration Pills that would help stabilize the mind.”

As soon as her voice falls, she sees Liu Feizhou send her a sidelong glance with a humorless smile.

“Little Uncle is that the Yan Yuqing who came out to pick you up?”

Su Tingyun nods, becoming a little cautious. The way that Liu Feizhou is staring at her right now, it’s as if he could see through her, and could see a lustful woman. Su Tingyun’s face turns red.

Liu Feizhou doesn’t know what to say for a while.

His first impression of Su Tingyun was that of an ugly old lady, with a wrinkled, sallow face, a tough and stocky build, and tiny slitted eyes.

Then, her physical age has regressed, but she’s still ugly.  Although she’s really not that old, the impression of that elderly woman is deeply ingrained in him, and it would be difficult to change that for a while. And that woman in the flame, though she gave him a brief moment of astonishment, but maybe she was just a hallucination. In reality, he couldn’t tell if that woman was beautiful, he can’t even remember what she looked like. It was just the image of the woman walking out of the flames when his life was in danger, that he felt the desire to be reborn from the ashes, which left a deep impression on him.

He didn’t want to die, he wanted to live, just like a phoenix reborn from the ashes after bathing in fire.

As for Su Tingyun…

Now that he regards her as family, he doesn’t disdain her ugly appearance anymore. But looking at her budding crush still leaves Liu Feizhou speechless.

He could only pat Su Tingyun on the shoulder, “Work hard.”

He really doesn’t want to tell lies, and he can’t open his mouth to just be sarcastic. So, with some difficulty, he tries to be supportive.

There’s a flicker in Liu Feizhou’s eyes, and he blinks quickly.

  1. Poor granny

    Gotta say it’s quite refreshing to read a novel whose female protagonist isn’t beautiful
