Wuchenzi had just smelled the two pills Lu Heng handed him, and his mind was completely absorbed by them.
The glass bottle Lu Heng placed on the table could no longer attract his gaze.
"This… your friend is truly an unparalleled alchemy prodigy. May I ask if I could pay him a visit?"
Wuchenzi had been utterly defeated by Lu Heng in terms of enlightenment level, and now he was once again shocked by the alchemy skills of Lu Heng's friend. 138 Reading Network
He felt as if he had lived in vain.
"Such an alchemy prodigy, allowing him to be buried in the world is a great loss to the Divine Origin Continent. I wish to meet this genius."
Lu Heng had previously fabricated an identity for Lin Yu as a youth from a reclusive family, who never went out due to poor health.
However, Wuchenzi, looking at the pills in his hand, only thought of meeting the alchemist.
If possible, he wanted to become sworn brothers with this alchemy prodigy.
No! He wanted to apprentice himself to this alchemy prodigy…
"Ahem, he said he does not meet any worldly people."
"Alas, what a pity… Then, could these two pills be gifted to me? I wish to study them intently and see if I can comprehend anything."
"Alright, since that's the case, I'll give you this whole bottle I have."
As expected, the Divine Origin Continent did not have such pills.
Even an alchemy master like Wuchenzi was astonished by this medicine, which showed its effects were truly heaven-defying.
"This…" Wuchenzi looked at the entire bottle of pills Lu Heng handed over, and desperately wanted to snatch it.
But after years of being a respected elder, he felt a bit too embarrassed to do so.
How could he have the nerve to accept such pills entirely?
"Take it. It's not too difficult to refine. If you have any new recipes in the future, I can help exchange information with you then."
"Good, good, good." Wuchenzi then happily put away the glass bottle Lu Heng handed him.
"Hahaha, meeting young friend Lu this time has been incredibly rewarding, hahaha."
After quickly storing the pills in his storage accessory, Wuchenzi finally turned his gaze to the glass bottles on the table.
"If there's nothing else, I'll take Da Niu and leave first."
"Good, good. Have the young attendant at the door help Da Niu. Never mind, you can leave first. Da Niu can take his belongings, and let others handle the procedures."
Lu Heng nodded, smiling at Wuchenzi, who kept glancing at the table, showing great interest in the glass bottles.
"You don't need to see us off. I know the way, we can leave by ourselves."
"Alright, alright, then I won't see you off. Next time you come, just come straight in…"
After leaving Wuchenzi's small courtyard, Lu Heng asked Lu Da Niu beside him.
"Da Niu, do you have any personal belongings to pack?"
"Master, no. Besides the bedding for sleeping, I usually keep everything else in the storage ring you gave me."
"Ah, then there's nothing to go back and pack."
"Master, where are we going?"
"Jinyang City. I have a shop and a private residence there. You'll live there from now on."
"Okay."
"Do you want to go back and see your family first?"
"No need. The last time I saw my father, I gave them a lot of spirit stones, enough for them to spend their lives in our hometown. Besides, I'm not the only child in my family; we have many children, so it doesn't matter if one is missing."
"It's alright, filial piety should not be neglected. You can't just give dead things like spirit stones.
If you are training outside and cannot return home for a while, that's fine. But when you have the opportunity to be near your parents, you should visit them more often."
"I understand, Master. I've noted it."
Lu Da Niu didn't actually not want to go back, but out of deference to Lu Heng, he thought he would have to stay by Lu Heng's side from now on.
Since he had apprenticed himself to Lu Heng, in the mindset of ancient people, a master was like a father, and filial piety was also required.
"Mm."
Lu Da Niu followed Lu Heng out of the Danyang Sect. When they reached the entrance, they attracted the attention of many disciples.
This was mainly because the Fire Phoenix Lu Heng had someone lead over was too eye-catching.
"Master, is this a Fire Phoenix?"
Having been in the Danyang Sect for so long, Lu Da Niu had not seen a Fire Phoenix, but he had heard that Wuchenzi's mount was a Fire Phoenix.
That Fire Phoenix, with its uniquely vibrant color, was very conspicuous, and even if one hadn't seen it, it was easily recognizable.
"Yes, come on."
Lu Heng leaped onto the seat on the Fire Phoenix's back.
Lu Da Niu did not dare to leap up as Lu Heng did.
This was a legendary Fire Phoenix, rarely obtained by ordinary people. He dared not just jump on it.
Fortunately, Lu Heng lowered the vines from the seat, and Lu Da Niu then climbed up along the vines.
"This Fire Phoenix feels quite warm to sit on."
"Mm, you'll get used to it." Fortunately, Lu Da Niu also had fire abilities.
Controlling the Fire Phoenix, Lu Heng and the two were lifted into the air by the Fire Phoenix and instantly flew away from Qingcheng Mountain.
The receding Fire Phoenix left a pink afterimage in the sky, making the female disciples of the Danyang Sect envious.
This was Lu Da Niu's first time riding such a fast flying mount. He gripped the armrests of the seat with both hands, his palms sweating profusely.
Fortunately, Lu Heng controlled the air and wind around the Fire Phoenix, so Lu Da Niu did not feel uncomfortable sitting on it.
"Master, do we have to return this Fire Phoenix?"
"No, this is my mount, not Wuchenzi's."
"Yours?"
"Mm, I'll get you a Griffin later. It will be more convenient for you to travel then."
"Will it get lost if we park it outside the city?"
Lu Da Niu also knew that except for the capital city where royal flying mounts could enter directly, all cities in the Divine Origin Continent prohibited flying mounts from entering.
"Our Jinyang City has a new city lord. I'll talk to him about it later, and our mounts can enter the city directly."
Lu Da Niu's eyes were filled with admiration for Lu Heng. He hadn't expected his master to be so familiar with the city lord.
Soon, Lu Heng and his party returned to Jinyang City.
Previously, Lu Heng had mentioned his request for flying mounts to enter the city to the former city lord of Jinyang City.
However, before he could receive a reply, the city lord had already changed.
And after Zhu Di reformed Jinyang City and investigated all its information, Lu Heng's previous application was also specially approved by Zhu Di.
Therefore, at this moment, Lu Heng and his party, riding the conspicuous Fire Phoenix, returned directly to the small courtyard within the city and landed.
"This is my small courtyard."
Upon landing in the courtyard, Lu Heng, for the first time in front of Lu Da Niu, put the Fire Phoenix into his spatial artifact.
Since Lu Heng had recognized Lu Da Niu as his disciple, there were indeed some things he could appropriately tell him.
After all, this small courtyard was also filled with many items that did not belong to this world.
