Chapter 50: He is so regretful his guts are turning green!

At the foot of the Qingyun Sect mountain, the aged figure gradually walked away.

On one of the floating peaks, Ji Han watched that receding figure, his expression shifting several times before finally settling back into his usual calm and composure.

Behind him, Qingchengzi appeared out of nowhere, holding a wine flask in his hand; he looked at the departing figure of Qingyizi with a complex expression, then looked at Ji Han, who stood with one hand behind his back, overlooking the scenery of the Qingyun Sect alone.

He could not help but sigh.

With the relationship between father and son having become like this, would Ji Han truly not regret it in the future?

Yet he did not have time to offer counsel, as he suddenly heard Ji Han call his name.

"Elder Qingchengzi, the matter of the pills must not go wrong. My Qingyun Sect wants both; I want the Pill Formula, and I want the pills as well. Trouble yourself to make a trip to Wanren City in person."

Ji Han's voice was ethereal yet brooked no argument, and he finished arranging everything in one breath.

"Take Cunxi with you; it will be good for him to see the world while you are at it."

Although Qingchengzi knew that Ji Han had always been a suspicious person, he still did not expect that he would even guard against him, and would even have his son, Ji Cunxi, go to monitor him...

Qingchengzi gripped the wine flask in his hand, but felt only a desolate chill in his heart, with no desire to lash out.

Ji Han suspected even his own biological father, let alone him, a junior uncle?

Forget it, forget it! He turned his head, looking like an old man in the twilight of his years, gave a slow response, and walked down the mountain without looking back.

Only Ji Han remained standing where he was, staring silently in the direction of the figure that had long since disappeared at the foot of the mountain.

Wanren City.

Having trekked for some days and traveled by griffin, Qingchengzi, who had finally returned to Wanren City, wished he never had to come here again in his life.

Unfortunately, heaven does not always grant one's wishes.

After helplessly paying the entry fee, he led Ji Cunxi beside him and walked into Wanren City.

Inside and outside the city were simply two different worlds.

In the outer city of Wanren City, outside the edge of the city walls, those mortals who could not enter the city or dared not enter it had spontaneously built villages there, though they dared not block the main gate.

No fighting was allowed within a hundred miles of Wanren City.

This also provided them with a great sense of personal safety.

Each and every one of them wished they could erect a longevity tablet for Lu Ren.

Ji Cunxi was full of curiosity, "This Lu Family Head really has ability, to actually be able to obtain a Pill Formula from the Upper Realm!"

"Indeed..." Qingchengzi responded helplessly.

Had he known Lu Ren was so well-connected, he would never have let things reach such a stalemate with Lu Ren last time.

But there is no regret medicine in this world, nor is there "had I known."

The current popularity of Wanren City was at an unprecedented high.

Countless rogue cultivators and sect powerhouses had come by reputation alone, just to seek pills, and almost everyone had brought enough of their family wealth, which led to vendors being seen almost everywhere on the commercial street.

There were even black markets and ghost markets.

The only difference between a black market and a ghost market was that the ghost market was hidden deeper, and it even sold resources of the Demon Race.

But for a powerhouse like Qingchengzi, who was well-informed and even had his own people in the beggar dens, finding the traces of a ghost market was not a problem.

But he was not here to find the ghost market this time.

While leading Ji Cunxi to find an inn, Qingchengzi walked slowly, watching the people coming and going around him.

The more he saw, the heavier his heart sank.

The Sect Leader of the Haotian Alliance.

The Sect Master of the Lingyin Sect.

The Sect Master of the Beast Taming Sect...

These old things who usually never left their nests had all come.

Moreover, they were actually strictly following the rules of Wanren City, walking on the road like ordinary mortals; even that stingy Sect Master of the Beast Taming Sect was not riding a beast, but walking on foot.

Because of the peculiar appearance of the Beast Taming Sect Master, Qingchengzi subconsciously looked over.

The Beast Taming Sect Master, Weisheng Yucheng, had a handsome face and had been in the top twenty of the Heroic Ranking without ever falling off, giving off a rather elegant and gentlemanly air.

Yet he was now laden with bags, carrying bundles in front and behind him, making him particularly eye-catching beside the other cultivators who were traveling light.

Especially the thin cow walking beside him, which was so skinny its ribs were almost showing; it looked listless, as if it would not live much longer. Weisheng Yucheng had the happy look of a country bumpkin entering the city, looking left and right, and did not forget to take a moment to break off a piece of the flatbread in his mouth to give to the cow, sighing with joy.

"It was truly worth coming this time; this Wanren City is just too prosperous, much better than our Beast Taming Sect, old pal."

"When the auction starts, I'll use my status as Sect Master to take you in to have some fruit platters... come to think of it, that Lu Family Head shouldn't be as stingy as our Beast Taming Sect, using fake fruit platters, right?"

"Hmm... he shouldn't be..."

Qingchengzi:...

He had truly seen something new.

The Beast Taming Sect's stinginess was well-deserved.

Just then, a figure suddenly darted over from the side, pink light dancing, and stopped abruptly in front of Weisheng Yucheng; she looked at the rib-thin cow with glowing eyes, then suddenly turned her head to look at Weisheng Yucheng, asking with great interest.

"Fellow Daoist, is this cow of yours for sale?!"

The simple, happy look in Weisheng Yucheng's eyes vanished instantly, and he subconsciously narrowed his eyes; even his rustic air could not hide that sudden coldness.

But before he could speak, an exclamation came from behind him.

"Venerable Luoyun?!"

Qingchengzi was extremely uncomposed, in disbelief, his widened eyes comparable to those of an ox.

His heart was also in a state of chaos.

How could it be Venerable Luoyun?!

Lu Ren had once seen the portrait of that Venerable One from the Luoyun Secret Realm, had also seen an Image Recording Stone, and had even personally explored that inheritance!

He confirmed that this was indeed Venerable Luoyun! The people around them all looked over as well.

They might not be familiar with this Old Beggar, Qingchengzi.

But most of them knew the name of the Luoyun Secret Realm of the Qingyun Sect, and they also knew of Venerable Luoyun.

They even knew that there was an Alchemy Inheritance there! Venerable Luoyun suddenly appearing in Wanren City, along with the suddenly appearing medicinal pills...

Many people's thoughts were thrown into chaos, and their competitive spirits stirred.

Luoyu, who had intended to buy the spare-rib beef, was stunned when she heard this call.

She tilted her head, looked at Qingchengzi, first waved her hand in distaste, and then reluctantly greeted him.

"So it is you, old man. There is no need to call me Venerable Luoyun; I am merely her split soul, just call me Luoyu."

Yet by saying this, she only further confirmed her identity as the spirit of the inheritance.

Qingchengzi's face turned from green to white.

An unbelievable conjecture formed in his heart, and he spoke with extreme difficulty: "Lu, Venerable Luoyu, how could you appear here?"

Everyone else also pricked up their ears.

Luoyu looked at him strangely, "Is there a problem with me appearing here? Wherever the inheritance is, that is where I am."

Thump! The heavy stone in everyone's heart fell to the ground.

But this result was even harder for them to accept.

They followed this line of reasoning to sort things out.

The vanished Venerable, the inheritance that had found its master, the suddenly appearing medicinal pills.

It was only after Lu Ren had obtained the inheritance and left the Luoyun Secret Realm that he had brought out the Pill Formula!

This, this, does this not mean that there is an Upper Realm Pill Formula in the Luoyun Secret Realm?! Qingchengzi thought the same.

This matter only made sense if thought of this way; no one would imagine that Lu Ren actually possessed a system.

Qingchengzi felt his heart tighten into a knot, regretting his actions back then.

The others felt the same.

Had they known earlier that there was an Upper Realm Pill Formula inheritance in the Luoyun Secret Realm, why would they have gone to such great lengths to struggle in Wanren City?

They certainly would have found a way to go to the Luoyun Secret Realm to obtain the inheritance long ago!

Qingchengzi felt even more pain in his heart.

Because Lu Ren's entry quota was something he had personally handed over! How was this any different from personally handing over the Pill Formula! Regret! Regret!

Regret for the past! His guts were practically turning green with regret! (End of chapter)
