Chapter 1527: Chapter 1387: Lu Kongtongâs Provocation Chapter 1527: Chapter 1387: Lu Kongtongâs Provocation Refining Hall is the place where members of the Xuan Sect refine Xuan Objects, and there are several essential items needed during the refining process. First and foremost, a perfect Soul Pet for refining is necessary, ideally of the Grass-type.
Ye Qingziâs Fiery Sun Pupil is such a Soul Pet for refining. Whether itâs possible to refine an Immortal-grade Immortal Object, the Soul Pet for refining is extremely crucial.
Next is a Refining Furnace, which can better control the temperature. If possible, Spirit Masters and Xuan Masters should refine Xuan Objects in the furnace to greatly improve the success rate and quality.
The quality of the Ghost Immortal Stone refined by Ye Qingzi for Chu Mu was not very high, and directly strengthening the Ghost Dome King might highly likely fail, so Chu Mu handed the Ghost Immortal Stone to Ning Manâer for nurturing.
When the quality is perfect, then proceed with strengthening, Chu Mu can then very reliably have a Rock-series Immortal. Ye Qingzi has always praised Ning Manâer as the most suitable Refining Furnace.
If the people of Xuan Sect knew of Ning Manâerâs abilities, they would probably immediately dismantle the millennia-old Refining Hall and, at all costs, try to snatch Ning Manâer away.
The Refining Hall is tower-shaped and divided into many halls; most of the halls are gray, while other colors are located deeper within this mountain.
âRefining Halls are ranked. Gray represents the most ordinary disciples, and only those who reach a certain level can use the subsequent White Refining Hall, Blood-red Refining Hall, and Silver Refining Hall,â Lan Yin explained carefully to Chu Mu.
Chu Mu looked in the direction where the Monument Weepers sensed, and the Sign Weeper seemed to be in the Blood-red Refining Hall. Unfortunately, Lan Yin told Chu Mu that these disciples cannot freely enter the area of the Blood-red Refining Hall.
Chu Mu felt somewhat regretful but also unwilling to give up. He at least wanted to obtain more information and confirm who that person was.
âAh, so unlucky, I actually refined an inferior quality!â An older man coughed and walked out of a white Refining Hall, cursing with a gloomy face.
Chu Mu glanced at this man who appeared to be over a hundred years old and had many wrinkles on his face.
âHe is our Xuan Sectâs intermediate disciple. Itâs said that he hasnât successfully refined a Xuan Object for more than fifty years. Despite his age, heâs still obsessed with refining, but keeps failing, wasting materialsâŠâ Lan Yin whispered to Chu Mu, not hiding her disdain and ridicule for this older member.
âLittle maid, itâs not nice to speak ill of people behind their backs.â The older man glanced at Lan Yin, having heard her mockery.
Lan Yin was a bit embarrassed but did not want to admit her mistake, saying, âWhat I said was not wrong.â
âNevermind, I wonât argue with you, old man.â After the energy in the Refining Hall dissipated, the older man entered the Refining Hall again.
The older manâs failure attracted the attention of many onlookers. The Xuan Sect disciples wearing different garments were whispering around, some laughing and some doubting whether he had truly refined a Xuan Object.
âLan Yin, what are you doing here? Didnât the master say you arenât to refine medicine yet?â A man donning a feathered hat quickly approached.
âThis month Iâm overseeing the Mountain Gate. Senior Brother asked me to show this Young Master around our Xuan Sect,â Lan Yin explained.
The feathered hat manâs eyes had already been fixed on Chu Mu, noting Chu Muâs tall and robust figure as well as his handsome and cold facial features. Seeing Lan Yin so close to him ignited various emotions in his eyes, and he said unhappily, âWho is he? Why did you bring him?â
âHe is⊠he isâŠâ Lan Yin hesitated, not knowing how to introduce him properly at the moment because she had just asked Ye Qingzi, who had actually not told her who this Young Master was, not even his surname.
Lan Yin was about to say he was someone accompanying Miss Ye when the feathered hat manâs face became very sullen!
Lan Yin not being able to state his identity only further implied their unusual relationship!
The feathered hat man stared at Chu Mu again, his hostility unhidden.
âI am a high-level disciple of Xuan Sect, Lu Kongtong. Who are you?â The feathered hat-bedecked Lu Kongtong asked aggressively.
âLu Kongtong, who is Lu Fengnan to you?â Chu Mu countered.
Since he shared the surname Lu, he naturally had some relation to Lu Fengnan.
âChief Senior Brother is my big brother,â Lu Kongtong declared proudly.
Lu Kongtong was merely a cousin of Lu Fengnan, yet this identity alone allowed him to look down on most of his peers in the Xuan Sect. While others struggle to find Medicinal Herbs and resources, he could directly take them from the pharmacy, using the White Refining Hall at his leisure while others were still using the gray ones.
Due to this privilege, many female disciples seeking breakthroughs liked to linger around him.
Recently, Lan Yin had frequently appeared before him. Lan Yinâs enticing charm and seductive figure soon attracted Lu Kongtong, but Lan Yinâs status wasnât low either. Furthermore, due to her always being tantalizingly out of reach, it made Lu Kongtongâs desire to have her grow stronger.
Today, he intended to complete the task his master assigned and then look for Lan Yin, determined to make her his woman.
However, just as he walked out of the Refining Hall, he saw another man beside her.
Men have their aura; both Chu Muâs appearance and demeanor made Lu Kongtong feel a sense of crisis!!
âWhere is he? I just want to meet him.â Chu Mu would not bother competing with Lu Kongtong for Lan Yin.
While Lan Yin didnât look as good as Ye Qingzi and though her figure was enticing, that was merely because she liked revealing clothes.â)])
If Ye Qingzi were not so conservative in her dress, just showing those straight and smooth beautiful legs would be enough for Lan Yin to feel inferior.
âWhat do you think you are? The Chief Senior Brother of the Xuan Sect is someone of high status, do you think you can just meet him whenever you want?â Lu Kongtong said angrily.
Lu Kongtong himself found it very difficult to meet Lu Fengnan, and here was this guy who had popped out of nowhere acting so presumptuous. Does he think the Chief Senior Brother of Xuan Sect is someone you can summon and dismiss at will?
âLu Kongtong, calm down. This person is a friend of Miss Ye,â Lan Yin quickly explained, fearing that Lu Kongtong would do something irrational.
âWhat Miss Ye? Do we have a Ye in our Xuan Sect? This guy actually insulted our Chief Senior Brother, thatâs too much, I must teach him a lesson!â Lu Kongtong exclaimed angrily.
âYou⊠Why are you being so unreasonable? When did he insult the Chief Senior Brother? Lu Kongtong, I have nothing to do with you. Do you find this meaningful?â Lan Yin also got angry.
What on earth does Lu Kongtong think he is? What business is it of his who she hangs out with? She had never seen someone so childish and low-level in finding faults.
Lu Kongtongâs face turned red with anger at Lan Yinâs words, and his gaze at Chu Mu was even more venomous.
Chu Mu didnât take Lu Kongtong seriously at all.
Chu Mu cared very deeply about Ye Qingzi and wouldnât tolerate anyone trying to manipulate or bully her.
Chu Mu had gotten all the details about Lu Fengnan from Yu Suo. This guy, with his inadequate medical skills, had actually framed Ye Qingzi, causing her to be confined in the Divine Sect for over three months. If she hadnât cured the Old Sect Master, she might have been imprisoned directly!
This was a score Chu Mu definitely intended to settle with Lu Fengnan. Since he had come to the Xuan Sect today, Chu Mu had no intention of keeping quiet. He must stamp down where necessary, otherwise, this guy would keep troubling Qingzi repeatedly.
âHey, looks like thereâs a spectacle to watch.â Some passing disciples heard the noise and immediately gathered around.
âIsnât that Lu Kongtong and Lan Yin? What are they arguing about?â
âAre you dumb? Didnât you see thereâs a guy between them? It must be that Lan Yin and that guy were caught in a moment of intimacy by Lu Kongtong, haha. Lu Kongtong is a hot-tempered person; this is going to be a good show.â
These disciples in groups of three or five had nothing but boring alchemy and cultivation to deal with daily. Encountering such jealous and violent incidents brought some fun to their dull lives.
âKid, dare to come to Li Mountain valley?â Lu Kongtong pointed at Chu Muâs nose, appearing ready to duel with Chu Mu.
âWhatâs Li Mountain valley?â Chu Mu asked puzzledly.
âYou donât know Li Mountain valley? Itâs a place where we disciples often duel in private; even if things get loud, it wonât alert the patrolling elders,â a sharp-nosed teenager explained, eager for them to start fighting immediately.
âYou afraid? If you are, then keep your distance from now on. In the future, whenever I, Lu Kongtong, am around, you better take a detour!â Lu Kongtong said.
âYouâre not my match, call Lu Fengnan here instead,â Chu Mu glanced at Lu Kongtong.
âYou really think youâre something, wanting to take on the Chief Senior Brother? The Chief Senior Brother could pinch you to death with just two fingers,â Lu Kongtong said.
âOh?â Chu Mu raised an eyebrow.
Two fingers pinching him to death? He had just recently become the champion of the Outstanding Competition; does Lu Fengnan really have such ability?
Chu Mu didnât want to waste too much time on this guy. First, heâd deal with Lu Kongtong, and naturally, Lu Fengnan would show up. Then he said to Lu Kongtong, âSummon your strongest soul pet.â
âFight here?â Lu Kongtong was taken aback.
âScared?â
âWhoâs scared? Letâs fight!â With so many people watching, there was no way Lu Kongtong would back down.
Chu Mu didnât chant any spells; he just quietly watched Lu Kongtong summoning.
âYoung Master, please donât be rash. Private fighting is prohibited here. Moreover, Lu Kongtong is very strong. His Hundred Poisons Demon Insect is a high-level master, and there are only a few among us disciples who can match him,â Lan Yin said a bit anxiously.
Lan Yin knew that Ye Qingzi was very strong and probably wouldnât take Lu Kongtong seriously, but she couldnât figure out Chu Muâs strength.
Among the young disciples, those internal disciples from major powers generally have an average strength at the Quasi-Dominator level.
Having a low-grade master-level soul pet made a disciple relatively strong, those at the intermediate master level belonged to the more excellent ones, and a high-level master was even more outstanding, being the focus of the eldersâ training.
That phrase from Ye Qingzi, âpeople of no importanceâ, really made Lan Yin believe that Chu Mu was just an optional follower by Ye Qingziâs side.
Strength isnât directly proportional to being handsome, so Lan Yin was quite worried for Chu Mu.
