Chapter 43: Mo Yuan‘s Remnants

The Luminous Dragon spotted the rat in the grass and quickly climbed down from Song Qingshi’s waist and slithered into the deep forest. The rat was very quick and nimble. Seeing that the situation wasn’t good, it quickly fled. An Long knew that his pet didn’t dare to eat any mouse in the Medicine King’s Valley. It had been dying from holding back and now that it has been let out to bask in the sun, he was afraid it wouldn’t return until it caught the mouse. Better that he go with it to help it catch mice. 

Song Qingshi walked into the temple first with Yue Wuhuan. He regretted it as soon as he entered.

The people in the temple were all cultivators from various sects. They all had anxious expressions on their faces and they were all arguing endlessly. They looked as though they were discussing something important. Most of them were disciples of famous sects such as the Five Peak Sect and the Fu Sect; some of them were rogue cultivators and demon cultivators.  There were even a few cultivators wearing attire marking them as disciples from Golden Phoenix Manor.

Song Qingshi was absolutely disgusted with Golden Phoenix Manor but he felt that he shouldn’t try to avoid them. Otherwise, it would appear as though he were afraid of these beasts. But if he didn’t avoid them, he was worried that the Yue Wuhuan would feel uncomfortable. He hesitated for a moment and threw a quiet look at Yue Wuhuan, indicating for him to decide whether to stay or leave.

Yue Wuhuan glanced at the crowd, paused for a moment and said, “Master, something interesting seems to have happened.” 

Song Qingshi understood. The little angel wanted to stay and watch the excitement.

The Medicine King Xianzun rarely went out. Even if Song Qingshi’s reputation was fierce, very few people knew him. Yue Wuhuan was wearing a mask. With only his temperament and the exposed half of his face to go by, although he was beautiful, he wasn’t that eye-catching. Moreover, there were many immortal cultivators who hid their appearance for various reasons. His appearance was not unusual.

The cultivators from Golden Phoenix Manor were not very old. Their cultivation bases were low and they seemed like newly-accepted disciples. Based on Yue Wuhuan’s expression when looking at them, it seemed that he didn’t have any previous hatred with them. The cultivators from the other famous sects weren’t any of the elders who Song Qing had seen so there was no need to worry.

Once Song Qingshi clarified the relationship between the cultivators present, he took advantage of everyone being too intent on their discussion to pay any attention, to pretend that he was a bored rogue cultivator passing by and boldly approached to listen in with Yue Wuhuan. What they were conversing about was a water monster that had appeared nearby and Mo Yuan’s relics.

Few people knew how Sword Master Mo Yuan had died only that he hadn’t left anything behind.

There are many pure water spirit orbs in the water monster’s body. These orbs had many uses. It could be refined into Clear Water Powder to nourish water-type spiritual roots.

The damage to Song Qingshi’s Nascent Soul had yet to heal and his need for water-type elixirs was great. And so, he was a little tempted. However, it was the prospect of finding Sword Master Mo Yuan’s relics that tempted him more. Sword Master Mo Yuan was the role model that Wuhuan yearned for. There may be sword moves, swords or secret manuals included in the relics. If not, then traces of Sword Master Mo Yuan’s life can give them insights into the glorious history of how a mortal cultivated to immortality using swordsmanship.

Yue Wuhuan seemed to think the same way. He was very engrossed listening to their discussion. 

Suddenly, the cultivators screamed and pulled out their magical instruments one after another. Song Qingshi looked down. It was the Luminous Dragon who had come back after eating and drinking its fill. It slithered through the crowd with a grin, crawling towards Song Qingshi. It wrapped itself around his waist and legs once again, burying its head in the crook of his neck, nuzzling against him. Song Qingshi had no choice but to take this snake who loved to act like a spoiled child, hugging and embracing him at any place and at any time. He warned in a low voice, “Xiao Bai, don’t make trouble. There are outsiders here.”

This warning came too late…

All eyes followed the Luminous Dragon and then focused on him.

Being stared at like this, Song Qingshi’s social anxiety reared its head. His body began to tense. His expression became colder and colder. The cold and eccentric Medicine King Xianzun appeared in front of them once again. His entire body exuded an arrogant and unapproachable air. 

Western Forest’s Gu King went around killing and fighting. His fame was widespread and the furious beast who accompanied him, the Luminous Dragon, was equally as well-known. Seeing the Luminous Dragon taking the initiative to twine around Song Qingshi and act like a spoiled child, the cultivators were shocked and quickly began to analyze and judge…

He was the top existence among the Nascent Soul cultivators. It was said that he had managed to escape unscathed from a fight with a Fen Shen cultivator. 

No cultivator dared to provoke An Long’s violent temper after seeing a horrible scene where the worms devoured people.

An Long walked slowly into the temple, following after the Luminous Dragon. With an ominous glint in his eyes, he cast a look at the messy group of cultivators; as though he were disgusting that they were getting in his way, dirtying his view. Everyone was so frightened that they didn’t even dare to breathe too hard. They quickly retreated to both sides, leaving Song Qingshi, who had not reacted, standing where he was, blankly holding the Luminous Dragon, his whole body stiff.

Yue Wuhuan frowned slightly and stepped forward, quietly blocking part of their view of Song Qingshi.

An Long was accustomed to having the attention of the crowd. He strode to Song Qingshi’s side. His fierce face instantly turned into a shameless, nagging expression. While teasing the Luminous Dragon on his shoulders, he asked fawningly, “Qingshi, what are you listening to?” 

Song Qingshi’s face was cold and he whispered, “You’re making trouble.”

An Long was delighted at being scolded. All smiles, he said, ingratiatingly, “I didn’t do it intentionally.”

At this moment, who couldn’t guess Song Qingshi’s identity?

It was said that the Medicine King Xianzun had a perverse personality. He was highly-poisonous from head to feet. He could drag a person he found displeasing and turn them into medicinal ingredients without warning. And the beauty in the golden mask who was attending to him must be that cruel lunatic Wuhuan, whose looks had been ruined and whose mood could swing from delight to anger. Add in the fierce and brutal Gu King of the Western Forest…and the three most unreasonable villains in the immortal realm have gathered together. 

Among the cultivators present, the highest cultivation level was at Great Perfection of the Golden Core. Who here would dare touch the inverse scales of these villains? The people who had been saying all sorts of irrelevant things just now all shrunk like quail. Those who were reserved and held a bit of beauty, were especially frightened of Song Qingshi — he was willing to disfigure and turn mad someone like Wuhuan Gongzhi who was beautiful enough to cause the fall of a city. This Nascent Soul ancestor with his ruthless methods simply wasn’t human.

Song Qingshi was made even more nervous by these gazes and his expression turned even more unnatural…

In the eyes of others, he looked like he could kill at any time.

An Long knew his nature and couldn’t help but snicker for a good long time. Then, he said quietly in his ear, “Qingshi, you’re so fierce.” 

Song Qingshi was so angry that he sent the alchemical fire to scorch his forehead.

An Long jumped away wailing, begging for mercy. He didn’t care about losing face like this. He was even a little happy. Because in the Western Forest, it was natural for a man to fear his wife, to fear his Daoist companion. Beatings were kisses, curses were love. He especially liked being beaten and scolded by Song Qingshi. Not only was it a way to declare his territory to everyone but it also helped Qingshi relieve his nervousness.

Yue Wuhuan had seen through his stupid thoughts a long time ago. He just thought it was childish and ridiculous and didn’t take it seriously.

As soon as he has passed through the door, part of his attention had been attracted by an acquaintance standing in the corner. It was a foreign rogue cultivator named Wu Jing. He had an imposing and impressive appearance, quite out of the ordinary. Yue Wuhuan remembered some interesting past events and wave after wave of malice rolled in his heart. He found himself wanting to do something fun that he hadn’t done for a long time. He took advantage of when Song Qingshi’s attention was not on him to gently let his voluptuous lips tick up. He smiled at the rogue cultivator. His phoenix eyes beneath the mask were shining, bringing out a bit of restrained beauty. 

Wu Jing was almost knocked silly.

Yue Wuhuan immediately held back a smile. He retracted his gaze and stood by Song Qingshi’s side to attend to him, all well-behaved, discreet in word and deed. He carried himself with dignity so high he could not be profaned.

He was obviously a man of great beauty but pretended to be a noble and holy child. This kind of disparity created an unbearable temptation.

… 

After Song Qingshi burned An Long, some of the tension left his body. He coldly said to everyone, “Speak from the beginning.”

An Long knew that when he was nervous, his thoughts were prone to jumping about and he often said completely baffling things. He stepped in to complete the questioning for him. He directly called out a couple of cultivators. “The idiot wearing yellow in the corner and the ox-nose with the cockscomb on his head. Yes, I’m talking to you two. Weren’t you so good at flapping your mouth just now? Come over and tell us the whole thing! If you don’t speak well and Qingshi isn’t satisfied, Laozi will have to replace you.”

He’ll have to replace you because you’d be dead.

How could the two singled out cultivators dare to disobey? They hurried forward and explained the matter in detail. 

It turned out that a water monster had suddenly appeared in the nearby Yue Yan River. It swallowed a lot of fishermen and the whole Yue Yan River could no longer be traversed. The fishermen had no choice but to ask the nearby cultivation sect for help. However, although this sect named Red Dragon Sect, had a domineering name, it was in truth a sect that studied talismans. Their sect master, the one with the highest cultivation, was just a Core Formation cultivator. He was of good moral conduct and normally held himself aloof from the world. They made talisman for the bigger sects and have accumulated quite a bit of goodwill among them.

Water monsters were not particularly strong monsters so the Red Dragon Sect’s sect master had taken a few of his disciples to exterminate the monster for the fishermen. However, he did not return. When the various sects sent people to pick up their talisman orders, they learned about the matter from the panicked little disciples of the Red Dragon Sect. At this time, it had been three days since the Red Dragon Sect’s sect master had disappeared.

As a result, several sects had thought it over and each sent a master to examine the situation at the river.

Seeing that the situation was turning bad, the water monster had hidden in the underwater cave. The masters chased in after it, only to find that there was a different world inside the water cave. There were several sword marks outside on the rock wall and an inexhaustible murderous aura was found the entire way. It seemed like a place where Sword Master Mo Yuan once stayed. It was pitch black in the depths of the underwater cave and there were unknown dangers hidden there. The masters were afraid it was a trap and didn’t dare charge in. They decided to just search around the entrance of the cave and they managed to rescue a lucky Red Dragon Sect disciple. However, this disciple was unconscious and wouldn’t wake up. His black hair had turned white as though he had received a terrible fright. 

The cultivators had been discussing for a long time. Some said that they would go back to invite their Nascent Soul elders. Some said that they wanted everyone to join the battle. Some said that they had to go in batches to try it out several times… Finally, a few bold cultivators were unbearably tempted by Mo Yuan’s relics and they took the lead to investigate the cave. However, they too disappeared…

“Save the people first!” A Five Peaks Sect disciple cried, “My shixiong fell inside. If he gets dragged in, I’m afraid it will be dangerous for him.”

A Miao Yin Sect cultivator said angrily, “Bah! Your shixiong’s life is important, does that mean the lives of others aren’t important?”

The cultivators couldn’t help arguing once again. 

Song Qingshi said softly, “Let me see the unconscious disciple first.”

His voice was drowned out by their quarreling and no one heard it. An Long couldn’t stand it any longer. He waved his hand and paved the way with thousands of Gu’s. Everyone was frightened into evading. He then seized a young disciple of the Red Dragon Sect and had him lead the way to see the patient.

The young disciple had just entered the path of cultivation and the ignorant had no fear. He wasn’t scared of these villains. Hearing that his shixiong was to be saved, he immediately led them to a back room. “Shixiong has just been rescued and his condition is not good. It is inconvenient to move him, so Master Zhi Hui placed him here, to be sent back once his condition improves.”

Song Qingshi followed him into the inner room and saw that sure enough, the patient on the bed really had white hair and beard. He stretched out his mental probe and had it do a circuit through his body. He ascertained that except for a few bruises, there were no major injuries that could cause a coma. He then took out some golden needles and stuck a few needles on his head. His spiritual power guided his mental probe and slowly stimulated the acupuncture points. When he turned his head and saw that Yue Wuhuan wasn’t there, he instead asked An Long to dissolve the Meditation Pill in water and use a crane-mouthed pot to pour it in for him… 

An Long complied with his instructions.

Under the stimulation of the golden needles, the patient woke up. He suddenly opened his eyes and let out a cry of extreme horror, “Snakes! So many snakes!”

When the Luminous Dragon heard him calling for it, it poked his head out curiously.

The patient glanced at the incomparably huge snake head beside his bed and his eyes rolled back into his head. Foaming at the mouth, he fainted. 

The disciples of the Red Dragon Sect went from joy to sorrow, crying out to Heaven and shouting down to Earth.

“It’s okay,” Song Qingshi was a little embarrassed. He took the Luminous Dragon back and redid his mental outline several times. He then began to recite the patient’s medical case. “The patient turned unconscious from excessive fear which created confusion in his sea of ​​consciousness. This is the reason he remains unconscious. I’ve already sorted out his spiritual consciousness. He should wake up again soon…I will leave some Meditation Pills and Spirit Calming incense for you. He should be fine after a few days of rest. In addition, the patient may suffer from a psychological shadow towards snakes. He will, throughout his life, need to try and avoid contact with the stimulus.”

The diagnosis of the number one doctor of the immortal realm was very convincing.

The disciples of Red Dragon Sect went from sadness to joy once again. But remembering their missing master, they once again began to cry. 

“The underwater cave is filled with snakes?” An Long’s heart was in full bloom. The Myriad Gu Sect was the ancestor of snake charmers. There must be something magical about the snakes that can live in underwater caves. He wanted to catch some, take them back and tame them. He pulled Song Qingshi aside and consulted with him, “Will you accompany me? The water monster will be yours and the snakes will be mine. If there’s anything good left by Mo Yuan, we’ll divided those equally.”

Song Qingshi thought for a while and agreed, “It’s getting dark now, so it’s not suitable for going underwater. We’ll prepare first and go tomorrow.”

Water monsters were not powerful monsters. But their bodies were nearly transparent and it will be difficult to spot it at night, seriously increasing its danger.

The disciple of the Red Dragon Sect expressed a thousand thanks. Their tears overflowed and they kowtowed asking them to save their master. 

An Long was completely uninterested with their master and happily ran away to prepare the vessel for the snakes. After Song Qingshi determined that the patient’s condition was stable, he was in high spirits as he went to find Yue Wuhuan to talk about this matter. He’ll also ask him if he wanted to go underwater with them. Having a big adventure similar to that in “The Three Tiger-Fighting Brothers” will deepen their relationship.

He was a little puzzled why Yue Wuhuan hadn’t followed him. He let out his mental probe and found him in a secluded corner talking with someone unfamiliar to him.

Song Qingshi ran over and was stunned…

He saw Yue Wuhuan with a smile at the corner of his lips. He was leaning against the tree with his arms folded, playing with a fallen leaf in his hand. He seemed to be in a great mood. There was a tall and handsome male cultivator, blushing and stumbling over his words as he confessed to him, “I would be overjoyed if you would be willing…I, I don’t mind about your disfigurement. I will treat you well…” 

The author has something to say:

Small theater

Crowd A: “I heard that the Wuhuan the Great Beauty was not only disfigured but also toyed with to the point of madness! That person who did this is truly cruel and inhumane!”

Crowd B: “I heard that person grew tired of playing with the Great Beauty and deliberately wrecked his good looks!” 

Crowd C: “I heard that person is a beast!”

Song Qingshi: “Who is that person???”
