Chapter 24 Accident!
Chapter 24 Accident!
Seeing Su Buxing's expression, Senior Uncle Lan's expression immediately turned serious: "You burned down the treasure pavilion, so naturally you have to compensate, but I see you can't produce those spirit stones right now. Why don't you sign and leave a receipt?"
Uncle Qi reacted quickly. Upon hearing his senior brother's words, he immediately stepped forward, looking at Su Buxing with a serious expression: "That's right! What... you don't want to compensate me?!"
Master Lan didn't speak, but with a slight movement of his fingers, the jade slip floated to Su Buxing's face.
Upon seeing this scene, the disciples instinctively glanced at the dilapidated treasure pavilion, which was now not only in ruins but also in many places charred.
For no apparent reason, he thought of how Su Buxing had burned those three magical treasures, and then of the great fire that had occurred on their way here.
If the main hall was in such a state, many of the magical treasures inside must have also been burned.
How much compensation will that require?
Moreover, Danfeng's place was also bombed.
Some people looked at Su Buxing with pity, saying he was only at the seventh level of Qi Refining, and wondered when he would ever reach that level.
Moreover, with Master An present, in addition to signing and signing the compensation agreement, he will surely be severely punished.
Su Buxing blinked.
Well...
That feeling I had just experienced at Danfeng came back to me.
It feels like I've been set up!
But think about it carefully, what kind of scheme would you set up?
The treasure pavilion was indeed burned down by myself, and I had originally planned to pay compensation in installments.
So, looking at the jade slip in front of him, just like when he was at Danfeng, he made a stroke with his finger and used his spiritual power to write his name on it, leaving his spiritual power traces on it as well.
A flash of blue light.
However, as soon as Su Buxing finished signing and sealing the document, Senior Uncle Lan immediately put the jade slip into his sleeve.
Then, looking at Su Buxing, he put his hand on Su Buxing's shoulder and nodded with satisfaction: "You have a good physique, you're good material for blacksmithing."
Su Buxing was busy thinking about how she was taking on debts she shouldn't have at her age.
Upon hearing this, he couldn't help but look at Senior Uncle Lan. What did that mean? Blacksmithing? Why would a farmer like me do blacksmithing?
Senior Uncle Lan spoke up, "No need to worry, I was just praising you. But one thing at a time, what you did today on my Refining Peak has caused such a disaster that you should have been severely punished. However, Junior Brother Qi just pleaded for you, and seeing your sincere attitude in admitting your mistake, I'll let you off for now. But the IOU has already been written, so don't even think about denying it. Otherwise, when your master comes out of seclusion, I'll deal with your master too!"
Uncle Qi, who was standing to the side, was stunned. When did I plead for him?
But after all, he was a Golden Core cultivator who had lived for over two hundred years. He was quick-witted and immediately understood why his senior brother said that. So he looked at Su Buxing and said, "Why don't you thank your Uncle Lan? Your Uncle Lan is just a little better-tempered now. He used to punish me and your master quite a bit."
The disciples exclaimed, "Huh?"
Many disciples looked at Senior Uncle Lan and Senior Uncle Qi with strange expressions.
The implication of that remark...
Is that all?
Some disciples looked at the treasure pavilion, and then at Senior Uncle Lan and Senior Uncle Qi.
At this moment, a tall woman stepped forward, looking indignant: "Master, compensation is enough? Last year, when I accidentally damaged the stone lion outside the hall, you made me clean the entire hall by myself. You even made me pay for it then. And now, Junior Brother Su has burned down the treasure pavilion! You… ah!"
The female cultivator, who was clearly Master Lan's disciple, hadn't finished speaking yet.
With a wave of his hand, Master Lan sent the woman flying towards the ruins of the main hall.
"When did it become your place to make decisions when I was working with your Uncle Qi? You are here to clean the main hall!" Uncle Lan didn't even look at his disciple, but instead glanced at all the disciples.
The disciples immediately lowered their heads and dared not speak.
I just find it strange.
Just as Junior Sister Liu said, if anyone causes trouble on the Refining Peak, Senior Uncle Lan will definitely punish them severely.
But this...
What did Junior Sister Liu do to deserve this punishment?
At this moment, Master Lan looked at Su Buxing with a stern expression.
Immediately, Uncle Qi gave Su Buxing a meaningful look.
Su Buxing looked at the two of them and thought, "Hmm! One is playing the good cop and the other is playing the bad cop."
You can see it at a glance.
But realizing what he could do, he knew he had truly caused trouble. So he immediately clasped his hands in a fist and bowed to Senior Uncle Lan: "Senior Uncle, I will gather enough spirit stones as soon as possible, but I need you to sort them out and tell me a precise number."
Master An did not answer Su Buxing's question, but instead asked, "Let me ask you, which is greater: the losses you need to compensate for at Danfeng or the losses I need to compensate for at Lianqi Peak?"
Su Buxing spoke almost without thinking: "The Refining Peak."
Although Su Buxing hadn't gone over to check yet, there was really no need to. There were probably only one or two good items left, and the rest had definitely been burned.
If you burn it, it will definitely break or turn to ash.
Between the two, which one is bigger? Is there even a need to say?
There were three rooms on one side, filled with all sorts of odds and ends.
Over here, there's such a huge hall and so many magical treasures.
Senior Master Lan nodded: "Good to know. Remember this well. Our Refining Peak has been extremely lenient with you and has not severely punished you. However, this treasure does not belong to our peak alone, nor does it belong to me alone. It belongs to the sect, so we still have to compensate you. It was just one or two small alchemy rooms on Pill Peak that were blown up, yet they still made the disciples sign and seal the documents. That old man An is so petty!"
Uncle Qi stepped forward and looked at Su Buxing: "They can easily restore that alchemy room on Danfeng. It's really that Junior Sister Lu and Senior Brother An are too stingy! But our Refining Peak will not do that. Moreover, Li Suo's actions should be severely punished. After all, you set such a big treasure pavilion on fire. We didn't say anything to you."
Su Buxing blinked as he looked at Senior Uncle Lan and Senior Uncle Qi, sensing that there was something more to their words.
But Su Buxing can't taste it yet.
He nodded anyway. As far as creditors were concerned, the Refining Peak was the biggest creditor, so whatever the two of you said went. "Disciple knows his mistake and thanks senior uncles and masters for their forgiveness."
Uncle Qi smiled, then waved his hand, and two magical treasures appeared: a suit of armor and a slender blue longsword.
Uncle Qi handed the armor to Su Buxing: "You two should still receive what you deserve. Although you are body cultivators, your cultivation level is still low, so you need to have protective magic treasures. This thick earth armor is only a seventh-grade item, but protective magic treasures are rare. Please accept it carefully."
Su Buxing blinked, looked at the armor, and then looked at Uncle Qi. Why did you give me the armor?
Uncle Qi laughed and scolded, "Aren't you going to accept it! You two originally came to choose magic treasures, but you ended up causing this mess. But one thing at a time, you still have to give us the magic treasures."
As he spoke, he handed the armor to Su Buxing.
The expressions on the faces of the crowd who saw the thick earth armor in Su Buxing's hands became quite interesting.
They looked at each other, then at each other, and finally looked at Uncle Qi.
He caused trouble, didn't he...?
Why give someone a magic weapon?
Moreover, it's a seventh-grade protective armor!
Uncle Qi handed the blue longsword to Zhi Luyao: "Girl, I don't need to introduce this sword much, right? I introduced it to you on the way here. It's also a seventh-grade sword, named [Cold Qi]. It's very suitable for your physique. After you return to your Xiaonong Peak, figure out how to use it yourself."
Zhi Luyao quickly accepted it. On the way from the capital to the Fengling Sect, this Uncle Qi had used this sword to try to get her to the Weapon Refining Peak.
But Lu Yao looked at Uncle Qi with a strange expression. Didn't his senior brother and he get into trouble? Why is he giving him a magic weapon?
Another seventh-rank official!?
All the disciples looked at their Uncle Qi.
Some disciples even looked at Senior Uncle Lan, wondering what he would do.
But what I saw was Master Lan just watching expressionlessly.
"Master!" A young man stepped forward from the crowd. "Wasn't that armor supposed to be for me... Ah!"
Before he could finish speaking, Uncle Qi casually tossed the disciple into the ruins.
Uncle Qi glanced at it, thinking it was in the way!
And everyone knew that disciple; he was one of Master Qi's two disciples.
Ruoyun, standing to the side, blinked and looked at Master Qi with a completely bewildered expression.
Actually, Ruoyun was thinking that since things had escalated to this point, it was likely that Junior Brother Su and Junior Sister Zhi would not be able to obtain the magic weapon, so she was wondering whether she should speak to Senior Uncle Lan.
As a result, Uncle Qi just took it out directly.
And they're both rank seven!
Therefore, Ruoyun was a little confused.
What do these two senior uncles mean by this? Not only do they not punish me, but they also give me such a good magic weapon.
At this time...
Uncle Lan spoke up: "He won't wake up."
Everyone immediately looked at Senior Uncle Lan.
Senior Uncle Lan said, "As for alchemy, I'm afraid Junior Brother An, with his petty nature, won't welcome you. But you can come back to my Weapon Refining Peak anytime. Weapon refining is more advanced than alchemy and can go further. Your master was a disciple who came from my Weapon Refining Peak."
To Su Buxing, these were incomprehensible words.
But he nodded nonetheless.
welcome!?
They've all been given to our treasure pavilion, Uncle-Master, you're really welcoming this!
Upon hearing this, all the disciples stared intently at Senior Uncle Lan.
Many people looked at Su Buxing more closely.
This doesn't seem like it at all. It's not your son. Your heart is completely biased towards the emperor!
Uncle Qi chuckled and patted Su Buxing on the shoulder: "Alright, if you have nothing else to do, take the magic weapon back and study it."
After saying that, he looked at Ruoyun and said, "Ruoyun, take her back. That's all for now."
Ruoyun hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Yes."
Senior Uncle Lan added, "I will speak to the Sect Master."
Ruoyun nodded again.
Then I glanced at Su Buxing and Zhi Luyao.
After bowing to Uncle Qi and Uncle Lan, the three of them left in full view of everyone.
Watching Su Buxing's retreating figure, Uncle Qi immediately communicated with Uncle Lan through divine sense, "Senior Brother, aren't we being too obvious?"
Senior Uncle Lan shook his head. "The arrow is on the string and must be released. If the Pill Peak knew that this kid's spiritual fire had reached this level, they would definitely try every means to bring him to the Pill Peak. To refine a second-level pill on his first attempt is quite an achievement."
Uncle Qi frowned. "Then should I find some other reason to give this kid something in private? But I just realized, what if Zhao Wuliang comes out of seclusion and doesn't release him..."
Master Lan glanced back at his disciple, whose eyes were filled with tears and a pitiful expression. "He won't release him? Zhao Wuliang already has one Zhi Luyao, and he still wants Su Buxing?! If he won't release him, we have plenty of ways to make him release him!"
Uncle Qi immediately replied, "I'll go find Senior Brother Zhongli right away and tell him what happened here. It's more appropriate for him to go to the Sect Master than for the two of us to go!"
Uncle Lan remained silent, simply picking up the flying sword whose hilt Su Buxing had just burned. Looking at the area scorched by the spiritual fire, a villainous smile appeared on his face, and he gripped the hilt tightly with one hand.
You can't escape!
……
"Let's get going!"
As soon as they stepped out of the main hall, Su Buxing urged Ruoyun to hurry up and leave.
Ruoyun's expression remained strange, but she didn't hesitate. After the celestial raft appeared, she leaped onto it.
Su Buxing and Zhi Luyao followed closely behind.
Controlling the immortal raft, Ruoyun could no longer hold back and looked at Su Buxing: "Junior Brother Su."
Su Buxing held the thick earth armor with a serious expression.
Upon hearing this, he looked up at Ruoyun.
Ruoyun asked, "You shouldn't have any relationship with Senior Uncle Lan or Senior Uncle Qi, right?"
Su Buxing paused for a moment, then shook his head: "No."
Ruoyun nodded and then looked at Zhiluyao.
But he was just about to speak.
Zhi Luyao said, "Senior Sister, it's nothing to worry about. It's just that Senior Uncle Lan and Senior Uncle Qi picked me up and brought me to the Fengling Sect."
Ruoyun's expression became even stranger as she stared at Su Buxing. "It's okay, why am I being so nice to you?"
When I was a child, I would get into trouble and be chased and beaten by my Uncle-Master Lan all over the place.
This doesn't make sense!
After thinking about it, Ruoyun shook her head, deciding not to dwell on it, and instead looked at Su Buxing: "Junior brother, although I know you have a spiritual fire, how could your spiritual fire have reached such a pure level?"
Su Buxing looked at Ruoyun, his expression turning serious: "Would you believe me, Senior Sister, if I said it suddenly improved?"
Ruoyun shook her head.
Su Buxing nodded: "Okay, actually it was just an accident."
A sudden promotion and an accident...
Su Buxing was telling the truth.
Ruoyun looked at Su Buxing, her expression becoming even more complicated.
Again!
Another accident!
You always seem to be careless.
In matters of spiritual practice, there are hardly any careless mistakes.
However, after glancing at the armor on his hands, Su Buxing looked up at Ruoyun and asked, "Senior Sister, do you know the price range for seventh-grade armor magic weapons on the market?"
Ruoyun glanced at the Earth Armor instinctively, "Probably..."
But before she could speak, she immediately looked at Su Buxing: "Junior brother, you wouldn't be thinking of...?"
But as she said this, Ruoyun couldn't help but look towards the clouds.
A pure white celestial raft appeared from the clouds, and on it stood Sima Ji.
Moreover, Sima Ji's celestial raft was heading towards Su Buxing and the others.
Ruoyun noticed a hint of confusion on Sima Ji's face, but then looked at Su Buxing and said, "Junior Brother, the person who has come is Senior Brother Sima Ji from Qianzhu Peak."
Su Buxing and Zhi Luyao naturally recognized Sima Ji, and when they saw him, they were already looking in that direction.
Sima Ji, still exuding elegance, stood atop the celestial raft and bowed to the three: "Junior Sister Ruoyun, Junior Brother Su, Junior Sister Zhi, what a coincidence."
Su Buxing and the other two returned the greeting to Sima Ji.
Sima Ji smiled and looked at Su Buxing: "I just heard about what you did at Danfeng, Junior Brother, which I really admire. I didn't expect you to be here at Lianqi Peak."
As he spoke, he stepped onto Ruoyun's immortal raft, walked up to Su Buxing, and laughed, "However... Junior brother, the rumors outside are all too fantastical. You and your senior brother, how exactly did you blow up the alchemy chamber on Danfeng? The stories on Qianzhu Peak are far too mystical."
Upon hearing this, Su Buxing thought for a moment and then said, "It was blown up by accident."
