So He Was a Fang Clan Servant!
"Junior Brother Mu, are you sure this is a medicinal pill?"
Fang Linglong caught a glimpse of Elder Chen, who looked speechless, and spoke first, breaking the awkward silence.
Fang Mu looked at the large, dark pill in his hand, feigning a sudden realization, and explained, "I'm sorry, this really doesn't look like a pill. Please wait for me for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, Elder Chen and Senior Sister."
Elder Chen subconsciously asked, "Should I and Linglong excuse ourselves?"
"No need, it's just some minor procedures, the kind anyone can do with their hands."
As Fang Mu spoke, he placed the large pill in his hand on the ground, then removed the charred parts and began to rub the Body Tempering Pill in front of the two of them.
Soon, he had nine Body Tempering Pill in his hand.
He handed over the Body Tempering Pill, saying, "Please take a look, Elder Chen."
Elder Chen was an expert in alchemy, and after just one glance at these Body Tempering Pill, he quickly came to a conclusion.
A flicker of surprise crossed his eyes before he chuckled and said, "Three mid-grade pills and six low-grade pills. You're quite the talent, kid! You actually used such a unique method to divide the pills."
The most surprised was Fang Linglong, who never expected that one of her servants in the royal palace would have such alchemy skills.
However, being a smart person, she naturally didn't press Fang Mu about where he learned his alchemy skills.
Instead, we should allocate some resources to cultivate Fang Mu, enabling him to reach a higher level in Dao of Alchemy and become a great help to us in the future.
Fang Mu: "Elder Chen, you flatter me. My alchemy skills are still very basic, and I have much to learn."
"Excellent, humble and polite, neither arrogant Linglong, you've truly given this old man a pleasant surprise this time."
Elder Chen grew increasingly fond of the young man and was eager to take him on as his true disciple.
Fang Linglong smiled slightly, "This is what a disciple should do."
Elder Chen said, "Linglong, you take Little Mu to complete the entry procedures. You two are from the same place, so you must have a lot to talk about."
"Promise."
Fang Linglong responded and then gave Fang Mu a look.
After bowing to Elder Chen, Fang Mu followed Fang Linglong away.
Neither of them spoke first to break the silence along the way. After a while, Fang Linglong led Fang Mu to the registration office.
She stopped and turned to look at Fang Mu, saying, "Junior Brother, this is the Internal Affairs Hall of my Cloud Mist Sect. From today onwards, you are a member of the Cloud Mist Sect. Everything in the past will be gone like smoke. Focus on your cultivation from now on."
Having lived under someone else's roof for years, Fang Mu naturally understood Fang Linglong's unspoken meaning. "Princess, rest assured, Fang Mu, will always follow your lead."
In front of outsiders, please call me Senior Sister.
Fang Linglong was satisfied with Fang Mu's answer, but she still had to do what needed to be done.
"Promise."
Fang Mu responded and followed Fang Linglong into the Internal Affairs Hall.
With Fang Linglong present, Fang Mu's identity token procedures were completed quickly.
A moment later, the two emerged from the Internal Affairs Hall.
Fang Linglong said, "Junior brother, it's still early. Would you like me to show you around the Cloud Mist Sect?"
"Thank you for your trouble, senior sister."
Fang Mu is a person who lacks a sense of security. He feels very uncomfortable when he arrives in an unfamiliar place. Now that Fang Linglong is his guide, he is naturally happy to do so.
"Wait a minute."
Fang Linglong spoke, she took out a whistle from her storage ring and blew it.
A moment later, a Xian He descended from the sky and landed in front of the two.
"Junior brother, come up here."
"Good."
After the two steadied themselves, the Xian He flew into the sky.
This scene was witnessed by many disciples.
"Just who is that kid? How could he ride a crane with Fairy Qinghe?"
"I just saw Fairy Qinghe helping him complete the outer disciple procedures. Could he be Fairy Qinghe's younger brother?"
"Possibly."
"..."
An hour later, Fang Linglong delivered Fang Mu to Pill Fire Peak.
Elder Chen was originally one of the elders of Pill Fire Peak, Fang Mu was his disciple, so naturally he had to live on Pill Fire Peak.
Fang Linglong said, "Junior Brother Mu, I live on Spirit Sword Peak. If you encounter any trouble, feel free to come to Spirit Sword Peak to find me."
"Thank you, Senior Sister."
After bowing to Fang Linglong, Fang Mu headed towards Pill Fire Peak.
Fang Linglong watched his departing figure, thinking to herself: I wonder where you'll end up in the future?
Fang Mu had just arrived at Pill Fire Peak when he encountered an acquaintance. He immediately stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Senior Brother Liu and all the other senior brothers."
Upon hearing this, everyone turned around and saw that the person who had come was Fang Mu, so they all surrounded him.
"Junior Brother Fang, you and Senior Sister Qinghe seem to have a good relationship?"
A tall, burly cultivator put his arm around Fang Mu's shoulder.
Fang Linglong is the Princess Qinghe in Great Abyss. In addition, she has a prominent reputation among the inner disciples of the Cloud Mist Sect, so she has earned the nickname "Fairy Qinghe". Everyone calls her Fairy Qinghe in private.
Fang Mu replied politely, "Senior Brother, I was brought from Great Abyss by the Princess, so we can only be considered acquaintances."
Upon hearing the voice, the cultivator instinctively asked, "You wouldn't happen to be from Senior Sister Qinghe's residence, would you?"
"Exactly."
Fang Mu did not conceal his identity, and he did not come alone. At least a simple investigation would reveal his background clearly, so there was no need for him to hide it.
Upon hearing this, the cultivator instantly removed his arm from Fang Mu's, Fang Mu keeping his distance, his eyes filled with intense disgust.
"I see. Then Junior Brother must cultivate diligently."
Fang Mu could easily sense the other party's disgust, but he didn't take it to heart. He simply clasped his hands in a slight gesture of respect and said, "Thank you for your encouragement, Senior Brother. I'll take my leave now."
"Um."
The cultivator responded indifferently, as if saying another word to Fang Mu would be a waste of breath.
After everyone watched Fang Mu walk away, the cultivator said disdainfully, "I thought this kid had an extraordinary background, but it turns out he's just a Fang Clan. What bad luck!"
Senior Brother Liu said with a smile, "Junior Brother Jin, if you don't like him, just teach him a lesson. There's no need to stay here and sulk."
Junior Brother Jin said, "Teaching a servant a lesson would only dirty my hands, but this kid won't have an easy time on Pill Fire Peak."
The people standing nearby remained silent, only displaying amused smiles.
Bullying newcomers is the norm; everyone goes through this. What's more, that kid named Fang Mu actually dared to ride a crane with Fairy Qinghe. Doesn't he know his own status? Does he really think that by joining the Cloud Mist Sect, he has escaped his slave status and can stand on the same level as his master?
Fang Mu was unaware that he was being watched. He took his identity token, found the steward on duty, and obtained the doorplate of his residence and the introductory cultivation method of Pill Fire Peak from him.
After thanking the deacon, he turned and headed to his residence.
Meanwhile, Fang Mu's true identity also began to spread among the outer disciples of Pill Fire Peak...
