Chapter 298 Soft Wave Peak
Chapter 298 Soft Wave Peak
"Sit down." The old woman on the podium said casually, without uttering a single unnecessary word.
Xiao Qingchen's eyes flickered slightly: "Hmm? Why does Su Muzhi look like this?"
Su Muzhi!
This is Xiao Qingchen's greatest opportunity!
Over the past six months, he has been making inquiries everywhere and has finally pieced together the whole story.
Su Muzhi is a true prodigy, one of the top talents in the entire Tianyuan Realm.
If Xiao Qingchen had been there on the night of her birth four years ago, she could have joined forces with her older sister, Su Youli, to eliminate all the assassins.
However, Su Muzhi did not appear, and has not shown her face at the Su residence since.
It turns out that she had already discovered this place when Jieyuan Mansion was still hidden deep inside.
In just four years, he defeated the previous furnace master and became one of the thirty-six pillars of Jieyuan Palace.
Xiao Qingchen knew he had such a powerful older sister, so naturally he wanted to take advantage of her.
If Su Muzhi hadn't been in seclusion for the past six months and he hadn't been at a loss, he would have come over long ago.
When Xiao Qingchen arrived at the scene, he was puzzled to see the old woman on the podium.
"Su Muzhi has aged so much?"
An elderly person who looks young indicates great strength.
If a young person looks old, it's most likely due to a decline in physical strength or a depletion of life force; in any case, it's not a good thing.
Swish.
The old woman waved her hand and said coldly, "The altar master is about to open; everyone please remain seated."
Behind her, a woman in a blue dress and veil appeared and disappeared in the shadows.
No matter how hard people looked, they couldn't see clearly; they only felt that her figure was exquisite and truly a rare beauty.
Xiao Qingchen breathed a sigh of relief: "So that was Su Muzhi."
He smiled, but with so many eyes and ears around, it was inconvenient for him to speak.
He then entered the podium with great confidence and landed in an open space.
The number of formal disciples of Jieyuan Palace is not large, totaling no more than 10,000, but they are all elites.
The fact that a thousand people rushed to the scene when the Master of the Thousand Machines Furnace emerged from seclusion this time shows that it was taken quite seriously.
Xiao Qingchen held her head high, puffed out her chest, and sat down with an air of arrogance.
He tilted his head slightly, habitually seeking the flattery of those around him.
For the past six months, Xiao Qingchen has been wandering through the various furnace masters' small worlds, learning and honing his skills.
With the experience of an emperor, he could easily comprehend magic and comprehend the Great Dao, and his cultivation and artistic conception soared.
Those furnace masters are powerful; the Saint Realm is just the beginning, and many have even touched the Emperor Realm.
Even so, they still praised Xiao Qingchen highly, considering him a genius of extraordinary talent.
In addition, his handsome appearance made him even more attractive to female cultivators, who were eager to marry him.
Wherever Xiao Qingchen goes, he is fawned over, and Yu Qianqian is a typical example of this.
He was in high spirits, confident that he would be able to connect with Su Muzhi's trail today.
We're all family, so we're sure to become direct disciples and receive the entire inheritance from the furnace master!
"If I could return to the Great Emperor's realm, I would surely be able to break the effect of the Immortal Summoning Talisman."
Xiao Qingchen was in high spirits. If he could just endure for a while longer, he would be able to regain the initiative!
Sure enough, he heard hushed discussions around him.
Xiao Qingchen channeled his spiritual energy into his ears and listened intently.
"Wow, he's so handsome."
"Indeed, he is a very handsome man."
"I really want to get to know you."
"Go ahead, it's just about making a good connection, how can I refuse?"
Xiao Qingchen glanced sideways and saw the female cultivators whispering among themselves, their eyes constantly glancing in his direction.
Even cultivators have their own emotions and desires.
Seeing such a prodigy as himself, he probably wouldn't be able to walk away!
Several bold female cultivators had already stood up and moved closer to this side.
Xiao Qingchen relaxed his shoulders comfortably and smiled.
Ta-ta-ta-ta.
The female cultivator in the pink gauze dress smiled alluringly: "This one..."
As the person approached, Xiao Qingchen cupped his hands in greeting: "Greetings, fellow Daoist..."
The female cultivator in the pink gauze dress frowned: "Who are you?"
Xiao Qingchen: "?"
The female cultivator in the pink gauze dress turned her head again, her expression becoming alluring: "Little brother, what's your name? How old are you? Would you like to cultivate the Dao with your older sister?"
"This road is amazing!"
Xiao Qingchen's mouth dropped open. The other person didn't even look at him and went straight to tease Su Yun!
Another female cultivator in a light blue dress pushed aside the pink gauze dress with disdain: "Get away, how can you talk like that?"
"Little brother, do you know Soft Wave Peak? That's my cave, with lots of little toys. Why don't you go play there later?"
A female cultivator in black, expressionless, approached and gently pushed the two women aside with a single palm strike, declaring domineeringly, "Get out of my way, the young master is mine."
In the blink of an eye, four or five female cultivators started arguing about things like first come, first served, and that everyone is born with a share of treasures.
If it weren't for the lecture hall, they probably would have started fighting.
Xiao Qingchen's eyes widened: "You, you guys, you weren't looking for me?"
The woman in the pink gauze dress frowned: "What do you want? Who are you?"
The woman in the light blue dress glanced at them and said disdainfully, "Using up your life force prematurely, resulting in insufficient yang energy, is pointless."
The man in black succinctly said, "Get lost!"
Xiao Qingchen touched his face, bewildered and astonished.
In the past six months, this face has received a great deal of attention.
Why are the beautiful female cultivators suddenly denying it?
Just then, he also heard a rustling sound: "I don't know how old that child is, but he is full of life and will definitely grow up in the future."
"What an adorable little brother! I really want to take a bite."
"Maybe he's a senior figure. Hmm, it would be great to get to know someone like that."
"Hehe, so fair and tender, I really want to take it home."
"Sister, I want to have this one!"
Xiao Qingchen opened his mouth wide, only to find that no one was looking at him at all.
All eyes were on Su Yun.
Xiao Qingchen turned his head and forced a smile: "Fellow Daoist Yu, what do you think of my appearance?"
Humans are strange; they don't cherish what they have, but they'll chase after it like crazy if someone tries to take it from them.
Yu Qianqian had always thought Su Yun was good-looking, but she felt that he was not as capable as Xiao Qingchen in other aspects, so she just regarded him as a pretty face and a plaything.
Now the group of women were all talking big, and their expectations were raised many times higher.
The more she looked at Su Yun, the more she felt a certain attraction to him.
Even though she was just a little kid, she's grown up in my heart.
Even just imagining his future handsome and brilliant appearance makes me excited.
Su Yun's current cultivation level is far from reaching the Dao Harmony realm, so he won't be locked onto this appearance.
Upon hearing Xiao Qingchen's question, Yu Qianqian couldn't help but turn around and glance at him again.
She originally wanted to say "handsome and dashing," but Su Yun's image was stuck in her mind, and she couldn't bring herself to say it.
After a long pause, Yu Qianqian finally managed to say, "Uh, it's alright."
Seeing her strained appearance, Xiao Qingchen's heart broke.
Where is that female cultivator who just praised her own good looks?
Where have you been!
Xiao Qingchen was furious, but she couldn't say anything in front of Su Yun.
He could only say grimly, "Please go back and don't disturb our cultivation."
The woman in the pink gauze dress rolled her eyes at him: "Mind your own business!"
However, given the presence of the furnace master, she couldn't really cause trouble.
She smiled sweetly at Su Yun and said, "Little brother, my name is You Shan, and I'm a disciple of the Thunder Anvil Furnace Master. This is my token; you can come anytime!"
The woman in light blue retorted defiantly, "My father is the Iron-Bone Elder. If you have any questions about cultivation, I will do my best to help you."
The woman in black, dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, said crisply, "A sacred spirit stone, for you."
Xiao Qingchen became increasingly irritated as he listened. These were supposed to be his good karma, which could have been put to good use next time he encountered these people and their backers.
Who would have thought that Su Yun would snatch them all away as soon as he arrived!
Xiao Qingchen angrily shouted, "Let's go! Let's go!"
The women rolled their eyes at him again and left.
Su Yun gave a thumbs up: "Brother Qingchen, that worked!"
Having Xiao Qingchen is quite good; he can help me drive away all the other women.
Otherwise, wherever that face appears, it will be surrounded by people, so how can I do anything important?
Looking at his refined and gentle appearance, Xiao Qingchen felt as uncomfortable as if she had swallowed a fly.
They couldn't bring themselves to curse, nor could they hit each other.
I can only sulk myself.
Yu Qianqian also felt that she hadn't done well, and comforted her, "Fellow Daoist Qingchen, women will only affect your speed in drawing your sword."
Xiao Qingchen said sarcastically, "You were affected too."
Yu Qianqian was taken aback, but smiled apologetically: "It's alright, even if the female cultivator doesn't like you, there are still male cultivators..."
Xiao Qingchen glanced around and saw that all the male cultivators had gloomy eyes and were staring at him intently.
Goodness, no normal person would think that a child would compete with them for a woman's affections.
They only harbor hatred and resentment towards adults.
Xiao Qingchen gritted her teeth: "I don't want men to like me!"
Boom!
The bells and chimes rang again, and the old woman's voice came: "Begin the sermon."
A scholar in white robes suddenly stood up and said in a loud voice, "Congratulations to Master Qianji on emerging from seclusion. I have found a Heart Pearl and would like to offer it to you. Please accept it with a smile."
As he spoke, a dazzling bead flew up and swayed as it drifted toward the veiled woman.
The old woman casually waved her hand and accepted the gift: "On behalf of the furnace master, I thank Fellow Daoist Qiao Yishan."
The cultivator was overjoyed; the other party had calculated his name and even possessed extraordinary abilities.
As long as I can retain some impression, this invaluable tuition fee will be well worth it.
Swish swish!
People stood up, and gifts poured in.
"Congratulations on your completion of seclusion, Master Furnace. Here is a small token of my respect: a piece of Phoenix Wing Iron."
"I have long admired the name of the furnace master and am willing to offer you mystical spirit soil..."
"A teacher for a day is a mother for life. Please accept this golden silk wood, Mother..."
"This jade and amber stone is a creation of nature..."
The cultivators from all walks of life were very generous and presented gifts one after another.
The Master of the Thousand Machines Furnace had just emerged from seclusion and was giving his first sermon, which made a good impression on her and was an opportunity for everyone.
These cultivators came from various realms, and many of them had even studied under the Great Emperor. Logically, they should look down on these people.
The Jieyuan Palace is special because its master is a person with great fortune and an unfathomable background, whom even the Great Emperor has to be wary of.
This floating island is also a fairyland, and the masters on it all have great abilities.
Perhaps I am not as advanced as the Great Emperor in terms of spiritual realm, but in some minor details of enlightenment, the Great Emperor may still need to consult me.
As the saying goes, everyone has their own expertise, and these furnace masters are among the most skilled in these realms.
Yu Qianqian sighed, "They all came prepared..."
The furnace master may not become an emperor, but he might be able to train an emperor!
Its immense importance attracts everyone to flock to it.
Not to be outdone, Yu Qianqian took out a sacred Heaven and Earth Branch and handed it to the old woman.
Xiao Qingchen, however, remained unmoved.
Yu Qianqian asked in confusion, "Your tuition is very good, why don't you hand it over?"
Xiao Qingchen sneered: "An old woman like you isn't even worthy of receiving my tuition."
"The gift should naturally be given to the recipient!"
He suddenly stood up, and a beam of light shot from his hand directly onto the podium.
It points directly at Su Muzhi!
