I Really Am Not Worthy of Senior Brother Xinghe
Wan Lin was already completely despondent.
I, Wan Lin, have truly fallen... Have I really reached the point where even creating a surprise for Senior Brother Xinghe is so difficult?
Look at the Ouyang Lineage... They constantly create surprises for Senior Brother Xinghe at the drop of a hat, Senior Brother Xinghe is always moved to tears whenever he mentions the Ouyang Lineage.
And then there's the Muyue Kingdom... Just look at how many surprises the Muyue Kingdom has given Senior Brother Xinghe this year.
Last time I talked to Senior Brother Xinghe about the Crystal of Xinghe, he was so happy that tears streamed down his face without him even realizing it.
As for Ma Liang, needless to say...
As Senior Brother Xinghe's most trusted confidant, Ma Liang surprised Senior Brother Xinghe more times than anyone else in the entire sect.
But looking at everyone else, and then at myself... why is it so difficult for me Wan Lin, to give Senior Brother Xinghe a surprise?
Just as Wan Lin was lamenting how difficult things were for him, Ma Liang's words left Wan Lin completely dumbfounded.
Wan Lin was well aware that Senior Brother Xinghe was unfathomable, and now Senior Brother Xinghe had reached a point where he could no longer see through him at all.
But what did Ma Liang mean by that?
Soon, Ma Liang made Wan Lin realize just how unfathomable Senior Brother Xinghe truly was.
Ma Liang said, "Wan Lin... we were all wrong... Senior Brother Xinghe had actually foreseen every step!"
First of all, Senior Brother Xinghe must know about your Charm Art, right...?
Senior Brother Xinghe was naturally aware that the Charm Art could bewitch demonic beasts, and the Mirror Image Talisman Senior Brother Xinghe clearly also within his calculations.
But Wan Lin, have you ever wondered why Senior Brother Xinghe, knowing all this, has never done anything about it?
Even I, Ma Liang, couldn't figure this out before.
But now, with your failure, Wan Lin, I finally understand this problem.
The reason is actually very simple. Senior Brother Xinghe knew from the beginning that if he followed Wan Lin's approach, he would definitely fail.
Senior Brother Xinghe is someone who never fails, so there's nothing he would do that he knows is doomed to fail.
We are helpless when faced with failure, but Senior Brother Xinghe is different. Senior Brother Xinghe can find solutions from anywhere.
The key to Senior Brother Xinghe's problem this time lies with Ji Changfeng!
Regarding the matter between the Heavenly Medicine Palace and Ji Changfeng, the outside world says that Senior Brother Xinghe is benevolent and righteous, willing to help Heavenly Medicine Palace, and even personally confronting Ji Changfeng.
But it's too shallow... everyone's attention has become shallow.
Senior Brother Xinghe chose to fight Ji Changfeng not only because of the Heavenly Medicine Palace, but also because of our Vast Heaven Sect.
Wan Lin was completely bewildered at this point...
Well... Senior Brother Ma Liang, I've really fallen behind. Not only can I not keep up with Senior Brother Xinghe's thinking, I can't even keep up with Senior Brother Ma Liang's thinking.
"Junior Sister Wan Lin... tell me, what was the key to your failure this time?"
"The Charm Art cast by the Mirror Image Talisman didn't achieve the same effect as when I cast it myself because it lacked the enhancement of the Charm Physique. The demon beasts' mental barriers were completely able to resist the Charm Art, so it failed!"
"That's right! That's the reason! So, Junior Sister Wan Lin, if we make the demonic beast's mental barrier less sturdy... tell me, will the Mirror Image Talisman definitely succeed?"
Wan Lin nodded quickly, because that was for sure.
"Then there's no problem. What's the best way to break through a demon beast's mental barrier? Poison, of course... As long as the demon beast is in a semi-conscious state, its mental barrier will become infinitely weak. At that moment, using the Mirror Image Talisman, tell me how reliable it is!"
Wan Lin suddenly realized!
So that's what Senior Brother Ma Liang meant...
No wonder Senior Brother Ma Liang mentioned Elder Ji Changfeng.
As for putting the monster in a semi-conscious state, if you asked Wan Lin to do it, he really wouldn't have a good solution...
Although Everlasting Spring Palace is also skilled in poisons, Everlasting Spring Palace poison techniques are mainly focused on how to poison people to death.
Everlasting Spring Palace really didn't achieve much in other areas of poison techniques.
But Ji Changfeng was different. Ji Changfeng had a unique skill called the Bewilderment Art, which was a secret technique among poison arts.
Ji Changfeng's Bewilderment Arts were renowned throughout the world. It is said that Ji Changfeng was most famous at one point when even Martial Emperor was bewitched by his Bewilderment Arts!
Bewilderment Art that could even confuse Martial Emperor, you can imagine how it would confuse a demon beast!
When a demonic beast is under the influence of Bewilderment Art, does its mental barrier defense drop to its lowest level?
In this situation, using the Mirror Image Talisman... is it perfectly fine?
After hearing what Senior Brother Ma Liang said, Wan Lin was extremely excited!
Senior Brother Ma Liang is absolutely right! Senior Brother Ma Liang truly is Senior Brother Xinghe's most trusted confidant.
Ma Liang could understand every step Senior Brother Xinghe took...
No wonder Senior Brother Xinghe brought Ji Changfeng to our Vast Heaven Sect; it turns out it was all for the Demon Beast Plan!
Ji Changfeng is an extremely important part of our monster plan... Without Ji Changfeng's Bewilderment Art, no matter how hard we try, we will not be able to truly control the monsters. But now that we have Ji Changfeng, everything is solved.
Wan Lin is teary-eyed and adorable. Senior Brother Xinghe, please rest assured, even if there are countless difficulties ahead, I, Wan Lin Senior Brother Xinghe, will definitely give you a huge surprise.
Therefore, Wan Lin planned to go to Ji Changfeng's place as soon as possible to inquire about the Bewilderment Art.
However, Ma Liang stopped him.
"Junior Sister Wan Lin, why can't you be patient? Senior Brother Xinghe should still be learning poison techniques from Elder Ji at this time. If you go there now, wouldn't you be disturbing Senior Brother Xinghe?"
"Let's wait until Senior Brother Xinghe his studies and leaves before we go. Although I know you really want to surprise Senior Brother Xinghe, we can't disturb his studies!"
Wan Lin nodded in agreement with Ma Liang's statement... "As expected of the Future Grand Elder, Senior Brother Ma Liang's consideration of things is indeed comprehensive."
On the other side... Chu Xinghe dragged his weary body out of Ji Changfeng's room...
Today, Ji Changfeng taught him his secret Bewilderment Art... Just how bewitching these Bewilderment Art were Chu Xinghe didn't know... Chu Xinghe only knew that he was completely bewitched...
I'm completely dazed...
Although he really wanted to run back to his room to rest as soon as possible, Chu Xinghe knew that now was not the time to rest.
Wu Qun been at the Spirit Crane Palace for some time now, and his injuries have been fully healed thanks to the combined efforts of Ji Changfeng and the Grand Elder.
It was time for Wu Qun to leave Vast Heaven Sect and return to the Heavenly Medicine Palace, so I had to rush to the Spirit Crane Palace to see Wu Qun and Little Squirrel off.
Spirit Crane Palace...
Wu Qun was no longer as sickly as before. The poison he had been given was not deadly, and with Ji Changfeng's help, Wu Qun had naturally recovered.
However, what Wu Qun saw and heard at the Spirit Crane Palace in just a few days completely overturned his understanding of things that he had accumulated over countless years...
In the past, the Medicine King Palace within the Spirit Crane Palace was known as the best medicine concoction place in the world.
Heavenly Medicine Palace ranked second.
Over the years, Wu Qun has brought many people from the Heavenly Medicine Palace to the Medicine King Palace to seek their advice... While it's called seeking advice, it's also a form of challenge.
Despite failing every time, Wu Qun knew very well that although Heavenly Medicine Palace was not as good as Heavenly Medicine Palace Medicine King Palace, the gap between the Medicine King Palace was not large.
If we work hard, we still have a chance.
If past failures made Wu Qun feel that an opportunity was right in front of him, then his last trip with Luo Ying'er to challenge Vast Heaven Sect Martial Emperor City made Wu Qun somewhat desperate.
There was no other way... Chu Xinghe completely crushed Luo Ying'er with unbelievable methods... That battle was quite a blow to Wu Qun.
Wu Qun had always believed that Luo Ying'er was a super alchemy genius who could surpass him.
Given time, Luo Ying'er will surely become a super genius who leads the entire alchemy world...
She will lead the Heavenly Medicine Palace to become the best in the world, and the Heavenly Medicine Palace will surely become incomparably glorious in Luo Ying'er's hands.
But in that battle... Luo Ying'er suffered a crushing defeat.
That's not the scariest part... The scariest part is that even if Luo Ying'er had lost, it would have been over, we could have just gone back and tried harder. But after Luo Ying'er went back, all she could talk about was Senior Brother Xinghe.
Even when her master occasionally said something bad about Chu Xinghe, Luo Ying'er would immediately jump out and confront her head-on!
You wicked disciple!
Do you even know that I am your master, and that Chu Xinghe is the one who defeated you...? You were defeated by Chu Xinghe, shouldn't you feel ashamed and strive to improve?
What's with you planning to give everyone to Chu Xinghe after losing just because you disagreed with him?
I, Wu Qun, trained you so that you could lead the Heavenly Medicine Palace to its peak, not so that you could rise to power and become Chu Xinghe's little fangirl...
When you keep referring to Senior Brother Xinghe, can you ever consider what your master, Wu Qun, thinks?
Besides, Luo Ying'er, you're not good enough for Chu Xinghe...
Although you are exceptionally talented in alchemy, look at Chu Xinghe... Is there anything in this world that Chu Xinghe isn't good at?
Do you know how many extraordinary women in the world have cried and shouted that they will marry no one but Chu Xinghe?
Of course, Wu Qun couldn't say this to Luo Ying'er, otherwise he'd be met with a sharp rebuke from her.
Therefore, Wu Qun kept encouraging Luo Ying'er... saying, "Ying'er... your Senior Brother Xinghe is such an outstanding person, and I can understand why you want to follow him. However, you are not good enough yet, and you are not worthy of your Senior Brother Xinghe. You must continue to work hard to reach a higher position before you will have a chance."
Wu Qun thought Luo Ying'er would be very angry when he said on the spot that she was not good enough for Chu Xinghe, but Wu Qun was stunned after he finished speaking.
Because Luo Ying'er was not angry after hearing this, but instead immediately said that what Master said made sense... I am indeed not good enough for Senior Brother Xinghe... so I need to work harder!
Wu Qun: "..."
