Elder Xue thought for a moment, then looked at Tang Wan'er and Mu Xuan, "You two entertain our guest well. The Palace Master will host a banquet for Qin Chu a little later."
After giving these instructions, Elder Xue left the courtyard.
"Qin Chu, the one killed by the Holy Blood Family was very important to you, wasn't he?" Mu Xuan asked Qin Chu.
"Very important, so I must investigate." Qin Chu nodded. Being killed half to death back then was a great vendetta. Most importantly, he had to find his aunt and his parents. His aunt's hair turned white instantly back then, which was a deep affection.
In the evening, the Silver Moon Palace Master sent someone to invite Qin Chu, Tang Wan'er, and Mu Xuan to her courtyard, where she had arranged a banquet.
Upon seeing the Silver Moon Palace Master again, Qin Chu cupped his hands in greeting and called her Senior. Elder Xue had said that Silver Moon Palace meant no harm and only wanted to retain him, so there was no need for him to be resistant.
"All of you, sit! Elder Xue told me about your situation, which reopened some old wounds in my heart." The Silver Moon Palace Master waved her hand at the three of them.
"Master, are you alright?" Mu Xuan sat down next to the Silver Moon Palace Master.
"I'm fine. Qin Lingxi, the princess of the Vermilion Bird Holy Clan, was a close friend of mine. But I couldn't help her much, not only was she severely injured, but she also suffered the pain of a broken heart." The Silver Moon Palace Master shook her head.
"Master, what do you mean?" Mu Xuan asked the Silver Moon Palace Master. She was younger and curious about everything.
As the Silver Moon Palace Master recounted, Qin Chu learned more details. The Silver Moon Palace Master had met Qin Lingxi while training in the Holy Land of Central State, and the two became acquainted.
After problems arose within the Vermilion Bird Holy Clan, Qin Lingxi was entrusted by her elder brother and sister-in-law to care for her nephew, who was the only direct heir of the Vermilion Bird Holy Clan, but he was killed.
"Killed?" Tang Wan'er and Mu Xuan's eyes were filled with shock.
"Yes, he was killed in Nanyan State. Her nephew, whom she had brought all the way, was killed, which made her extremely sad, turning her black hair white. Aside from personal feelings, the direct lineage of the Vermilion Bird Holy Clan was severed, which she could not accept." The Silver Moon Palace Master's voice was very low, feeling sorrow for her friend.
During the banquet, the Silver Moon Palace Master asked Qin Chu about some things. Aside from his own background and the Holy Blood within him, Qin Chu told her everything he could.
"Previously, it was the Grand Elder's faction that made things difficult for you and caused you some grievances. But today, it was my intention not to let you leave, mainly out of a desire to cherish talent. Any Cultivation Sect needs good prospects. Now I know that your desire to leave is urgent, and it's very difficult to keep you." The Silver Moon Palace Master spoke.
Qin Chu stood up and bowed to the Silver Moon Palace Master, "I apologize. It's not that Qin Chu is being sentimental, nor is he ungrateful; it's just that he truly has important matters to attend to."
The Silver Moon Palace Master waved her hand, telling Qin Chu to sit down, "No need to apologize, this is not your fault."
After the banquet, the Silver Moon Palace Master looked at Tang Wan'er, "When Qin Chu leaves, you escort him! Qin Chu, Silver Moon Palace welcomes you at any time."
Cupping his fists to the Silver Moon Palace Master once more, Qin Chu, Tang Wan'er, and Mu Xuan left the Silver Moon Palace Master's residence.
Watching Qin Chu and the others leave, the Silver Moon Palace Master shook her head helplessly. Was she willing to let Qin Chu leave? She was not, but Elder Xue had told her it was impossible. Elder Xue understood Mo Daozi. If there was a way to stop Qin Chu from venturing out, then Mo Daozi would definitely stop him. The current situation was that he couldn't be stopped. If Mo Daozi couldn't stop Qin Chu, then Silver Moon Palace naturally couldn't keep him either.
When Qin Chu returned to Mu Xuan's courtyard with Tang Wan'er and Mu Xuan, he saw Mu Yuanling waiting.
"Father, why are you here!" Mu Xuan said, holding Mu Yuanling's arm.
"Why can't I be here? Qin Chu, how about you stay and Cultivate Alchemy with me? Even if you're a blockhead, I will train you into an Alchemy Great Master. This is my repayment for you saving Mu Xuan." Mu Yuanling looked at Qin Chu and said.
"There's no need for that. If you have any Pill Formulas and Pill Books that are not related to the Legacy, you can let me see them!" Qin Chu said with a smile.
"You're not an Alchemist, what good would looking at Pill Formulas do you!" Mu Yuanling gave Qin Chu a disdainful look, showing his dissatisfaction with Qin Chu's refusal.
"Why would Valley Master Mu think it's useless? I never said I wasn't an Alchemist!" Qin Chu said. With Silver Moon Palace no longer obstructing him, he had no more worries.
Mu Yuanling circled Qin Chu twice, "How can I not believe it? Try refining a furnace of Medicinal Pills. If you are an Alchemist, I can let you see the Pill Books of Spirit Medicine Valley, except for the most core ones, the general ones are fine."
Seeing Mu Yuanling say this, Qin Chu took out his Pill Furnace, and after organizing the Materials, he refined a furnace of Spirit Essence Pills.
Holding the Spirit Essence Pills and sniffing them, Mu Yuanling reached out and poked Qin Chu, "You're a ruthless kid."
After saying that, Mu Yuanling flicked his sleeve and left, "I'll send you the Pill Books tomorrow."
"Qin Chu, you're an Alchemist too?" Mu Xuan's eyes were filled with adoration as she looked at Qin Chu. Qin Chu, with his cultivation of the Fourth-level Spirit Yuan Realm, fought evenly with Zhou Mei, who was at the Fifth-level Heavenly Yuan Realm, and now he could even refine Medicinal Pills. He was simply omnipotent.
"Just a slight dabbling, can't compare to your Mu Family." Qin Chu said with a smile.
Because he was waiting for Mu Yuanling's Pill Books, Qin Chu did not leave. At noon the next day, Mu Yuanling arrived and threw three Pill Books at Qin Chu: one on basic Alchemy, one on Pill Formulas, and the last one was Mu Yuanling's Alchemy experience.
These were very important to Qin Chu. He began to study them tirelessly, researching for four days and memorizing all three Pill Books.
When Mu Yuanling came again, Qin Chu returned the Pill Books to Mu Yuanling, "Thank you, Valley Master Mu."
"No need to be polite. I didn't expect you, young man, to have not only Cultivation talent but also excellent Alchemy talent." Mu Yuanling looked at Qin Chu with eyes full of appreciation.
"After returning the Pill Books to Senior, this Junior also needs to leave. The main reason is that there are still many things to do." Qin Chu cupped his hands to Mu Yuanling.
"My Mu Family's Spirit Medicine Valley welcomes you at any time." Mu Yuanling said to Qin Chu.
After tidying up, Qin Chu went to the Silver Moon Palace Master's pavilion again. After the guard announced him, Qin Chu was led into the Silver Moon Palace Master's pavilion.
"You're leaving now, aren't you?" The Silver Moon Palace Master asked Qin Chu.
"Yes, if there's an opportunity in the future, Qin Chu will visit again." Qin Chu cupped his fists to the Silver Moon Palace Master.
"Jianghu is dangerous, be careful." The Silver Moon Palace Master said to Qin Chu.
Turning to leave, after a few steps, Qin Chu turned back, "Qin Chu will take the liberty to ask one more question: Is there any way to find Princess Qin Lingxi of the Vermilion Bird Holy Clan?"
"There is no way. She cannot expose herself to others now, after all, aside from the sealed Black Tortoise Holy Clan, the other three great Holy Blood Families have not stopped their suppression of the Vermilion Bird Clan."
"Then, do you know the names of the Vermilion Bird Clan's Young Clan Chief and Young Madam?" Qin Chu thought for a moment and asked.
"The Vermilion Bird Clan's Young Clan Chief's name... I remember now, Qin Zhanye! As for the Young Madam, I don't know." The Silver Moon Palace Master said.
