39: Missed a great opportunity

Medicine King Peak.

Lu Yun was collecting Spirit Medicine in the herb garden.

After his Storage Pouch was snatched away, he lacked resources and could only come out again to take missions to gain contribution points, so he accepted the task of becoming an herb boy in the herb garden.

He had already been at Medicine King Peak for several days.

Every day, besides weeding, he also had to learn to recognize various Spirit Medicine, and collect and deliver herbs for the Pill Refining Room.

After collecting the Spirit Medicine, Lu Yun left the herb garden.

He arrived at the Pill Refining Room.

"Senior Brother Ouyang, the Spirit Medicine has been collected."

A middle-aged man walked out of the Pill Refining Room. He stepped forward, took the bamboo basket from Lu Yun's hand, and then pulled out a black, unremarkable Cauldron.

"Lu Yun, take this Pill Furnace and throw it away."

"Senior Brother, this Pill Furnace isn't broken! It would be a pity to throw it away."

"If you like it, I'll give it to you."

"Thank you, Senior Brother."

Lu Yun accepted the Pill Furnace. He planned to learn Alchemy later; if he became an Alchemist, he wouldn't lack Spirit Stone.

Several days later.

Jiang Yunfan and his sister rode the Purple Lightning Vulture back to Lingxiao Sect.

This attracted the attention of many people.

"Look quickly, it's a Purple Lightning Vulture."

"This is a Spirit Beast, and there are people on the Purple Lightning Vulture's back."

"It's Jiang Yunfan, that matrilocal son-in-law. How could it be him!"

"This fellow actually subdued a Purple Lightning Vulture to use as a mount. Who is that woman beside him? He couldn't possibly have fallen for another woman, right! This is going to be interesting."

Some recognized Jiang Yunfan, but no one recognized Jiang Yurou.

The two arrived at Purple Bamboo Peak.

Li Qingluan came forward, and her expression immediately turned cold upon seeing Jiang Yunfan.

"It's you again."

"Is something wrong with you, woman? I already explained back then that it was a misunderstanding, yet every time you see me, you wear a cold Face, as if I owe you eight million Spirit Stone and haven't repaid it."

Jiang Yunfan, with his venomous tongue, fiercely rebuked Li Qingluan.

"You..."

Just as Li Qingluan was about to explode, Liu Xiaoxiao arrived.

"Senior Sister."

Upon seeing Liu Xiaoxiao, Jiang Yurou was delighted. Jiang Yunfan, who was beside her, glared at her, and only then did she restrain herself.

When Liu Xiaoxiao saw Jiang Yurou, a flicker of surprise crossed her eyes, and she asked doubtfully, "Yu Rou, didn't you go to the Savage Land for practical training? Why are you back!"

Jiang Yunfan said sarcastically, "Could it be that you didn't want her to return?"

Liu Xiaoxiao glanced at Jiang Yunfan. Why was his tone of voice so strange? Could something have happened!

"Yu Rou is my Junior Sister; how could I not want her to return safely?"

"Yu Rou, did something happen to you in the Savage Land? Why did only you return, and why are you with your brother? Where are Zhao Linger and the others?"

Jiang Yurou said, "My brother went to the Savage Land to look for me and brought me back. Ling'er and the others are still undergoing practical training in the Savage Land."

Jiang Yunfan said venomously, "The Savage Land is full of dangers. With their meager Cultivation Level, it won't be easy for them to return alive. Perhaps some of them will die in the Savage Land."

Liu Xiaoxiao showed displeasure, and Li Qingluan even directly shouted a reprimand, "Shut up."

Jiang Yunfan said coldly, "How dare you! An Inner Sect Disciple actually dares to reprimand me, a True Disciple. Since when have the Disciple of Purple Bamboo Peak been so undisciplined?"

Liu Xiaoxiao said to Li Qingluan, "Qingluan, hurry up and apologize to Senior Brother Jiang."

Li Qingluan had a stubborn nature. "I did nothing wrong, why should I apologize to him?"

She flew away directly.

Liu Xiaoxiao said, "Junior Brother Jiang, Qingluan's mistake was unintentional. I apologize to you on her behalf."

Jiang Yunfan snorted coldly and didn't pursue the matter. He said to Jiang Yurou, "Cultivate properly. Don't run around unnecessarily; you might encounter danger. You must be more cautious and not be foolish enough to count money for someone who sold you."

After speaking, he rode the Purple Lightning Vulture and left Purple Bamboo Peak.

Watching Jiang Yunfan leave, Liu Xiaoxiao felt suspicious. Could he have found out something!

"System, give me information on the person who bullied Lu Yun and stole his Storage Pouch."

[Today's Information (White): The person who bullied Lu Yun and stole his Storage Pouch is named Tiger, an Inner Sect Disciple, residing on Tianxuan Peak (Map transmitted).]

Jiang Yunfan rode the Purple Lightning Vulture toward Tianxuan Peak.

He soon arrived outside the great hall where Tiger lived on Tianxuan Peak.

Bang!

The hall door was shattered by a single palm strike from Jiang Yunfan.

"Tiger, get out here."

Tiger, who was in secluded Cultivation, rushed out with a furious expression. Seeing Jiang Yunfan, whom he didn't recognize, he roared angrily, "Damn it, how dare you destroy my hall door and disturb my Cultivation!"

Tiger was beside himself with rage. Without a word, he attacked Jiang Yunfan with a palm strike.

Jiang Yunfan raised his hand and waved; a stream of True Essence instantly sent Tiger flying backward.

Pfft!

Tiger was injured and spat blood.

"You have immense gall! You actually dared to attack a True Disciple."

"You are a True Disciple?"

Tiger was greatly shocked. He never expected the person before him to be a True Disciple.

Jiang Yunfan said coldly, "I am Jiang Yunfan, the True Disciple of Lingyun Peak."

"Jiang Yunfan, you are that matrilocal son-in-law? You dare to impersonate a True Disciple!"

"Open your dog eyes and see what this is."

Jiang Yunfan took out the True Disciple identification token.

Upon seeing the purple gold token, Tiger's eyes were filled with shock. This matrilocal son-in-law was truly a True Disciple. The Outer Sect Disciple whom he had beaten up and robbed of his Storage Pouch half a month ago hadn't lied to him.

"Tiger greets Senior Brother Jiang."

"Do you know why I came looking for you?"

Tiger's heart panicked. He knew Jiang Yunfan's intention was to stand up for that Outer Sect Disciple, so he could only force himself to say, "I do not know."

Jiang Yunfan waved his hand, sending Tiger flying, then stepped on his Face.

"Doesn't that feel familiar! That's exactly how you stepped on an Outer Sect Disciple back then. He is my brother, and stepping on him means disrespecting my Face."

Tiger quickly said, "Senior Brother Jiang, I was wrong. I was greedy and snatched your brother's storage ring. This is the Storage Pouch I stole. I beg Senior Brother for forgiveness."

He took out the Storage Pouch.

Jiang Yunfan took the Storage Pouch. "I'll spare you this time. If there is a next time, I will cripple you."

He rode the Purple Lightning Vulture and left.

He soon arrived at the Outer Sect.

But he didn't see Lu Yun.

"It seems this kid went off to do a mission again."

"System, give me information on Lu Yun."

[Today's Information (Blue): Lu Yun is working as an herb boy at Medicine King Peak. He obtained a Cauldron at Medicine King Peak, which is the Sacred Artifact eight trigrams furnace. The eight trigrams furnace can refine Medicinal Pill on its own.]

My god!

A Sacred Artifact.

This kid actually obtained the eight trigrams furnace.

How could this be!

There was actually one that slipped through the net.

"System, what is the situation here? Why didn't I receive information about this Sacred Artifact before? Did you miss it?"

"It is impossible for this System to miss any Opportunity information. This Sacred Artifact was brought back from outside by a Disciple of Medicine King Peak several days ago, and he gave it to Lu Yun."

Jiang Yunfan regretted not returning sooner, having missed out on a hundred million for nothing.

Wait.

He missed a Sacred Artifact.

That's even more serious than missing a hundred million.

He must find a way to trick that Cauldron away from Lu Yun.

Jiang Yunfan immediately rushed toward Medicine King Peak.
