C7 – Athyst Chalcedony
The Spirit Fla Master is a coveted profession that many aspire to, yet it remains exceedingly scarce. In all of Martial Sun City, not a single Spirit Fla Master can be found. Only in the capital of the Great Yan Empire do so Spirit Fla Masters reside, leading reclusive lives. It is rare to encounter them under normal circumstances.
Zhang Tianbei furrowed his brow as he examined the formula for the Jade Spirit Pill.
Qiao Mao, perceiving Zhang Tianbei’s concerns, offered a reassuring smile. “Don’t worry about the pill refinent. I’ll find soone to take care of it for you.”
Although Martial Sun City lacked a Spirit Fla Master, Qiao Mao had been a Spirit Fla Great Master in his forr life. He was well-versed in nurous alchemical techniques, which had been essential for his rapid cultivation progress in the past.
“Do you know a Spirit Fla Master?” Zhang Tianbei asked, his expression betraying a hint of awe. Knowing a Spirit Fla Master suggested a person of considerable standing.
“You could say that,” Qiao Mao replied, his answer deliberately vague.
Zhang Tianbei was taken aback by the response. Even a Grade Nine Spirit Fla Master had access to resources far surpassing those of the entire Zhang family.
“There’s sothing I don’t understand,” Zhang Tianbei inquired.
“What might that be?”
“If you’re acquainted with a Spirit Fla Master, surely there’s nothing beyond your reach in Martial Sun City. Why then do you seek my assistance?” Zhang Tianbei voiced his puzzlent.
Qiao Mao chuckled softly. “Because there are certain matters I must attend to personally.”
“What are you implying?” Zhang Tianbei’s brow creased, sensing an elusive but potent aura of malice emanating from Qiao Mao, which weighed heavily on his heart.
“Patriarch Zhang, just watch. In the coming days, Martial Sun City will witness so intriguing events,” Qiao Mao declared.
“What is it that you require of ?” Zhang Tianbei queried.
“The Zhang family possesses a piece of Athyst Chalcedony, if I’m not mistaken. Hand it over to . As for what I might want later on, you’ll co to understand in due course,” Qiao Mao stated calmly.
Zhang Tianbei’s expression grew stern, a touch of anger in his eyes. The Athyst Chalcedony had been acquired at a great cost, following the loss of two Mortality Transcending Level Five Heaven Family Martial Artists just last month. It was a matter they had kept secret from all.
“How did you co to know about the Athyst Chalcedony?” Zhang Tianbei inquired, his face etched with a dark scowl.
Qiao Mao suddenly realized that the news of the Zhang family acquiring the Athyst Chalcedony hadn’t surfaced until two months later. Yet, with his current lack of strength, securing the Athyst Chalcedony was crucial.
“Patriarch Zhang, the source of my information is not important. What you should consider is whether you’re willing to trade the Athyst Chalcedony for your son’s future prospects,” Qiao Mao stated with unflappable composure.
At this mont, Qiao Mao’s deanor was the epito of tranquility.
“I’ll hand it over, but you’d better ensure my son’s recovery. If you fail, I assure you, there will be consequences,” Zhang Tianbei declared, his voice laden with severity, as he produced a piece of Athyst Chalcedony the size of a thumb from his clothing.
Despite its diminutive size, the value of this Athyst Chalcedony was imnse. Such a tiny fragnt could easily incite a maelstrom of violence in Martial Sun City.
The fact that Zhang Tianbei was willing to part with it to Qiao Mao spoke volus of his profound paternal love for Zhang Yu.
Aware of this deep affection, Qiao Mao had the leverage to demand a steep price. Having secured the Athyst Chalcedony, he promptly departed with Shuang.
As they traveled, Qiao Mao was weighed down by the gravity of the situation. Though he had struck a temporary deal with the Zhang family, the stakes were higher than ever. Should he fail to produce the Jade Spirit Pill, Zhang Tianbei would undoubtedly retaliate against the Qiao family.
In such a scenario, the Qiao family’s downfall was inevitable, leaving Qiao Guang and the Qin family to reap the rewards.
“I must acquire a Spirit Fla as swiftly as possible; without it, becoming a Spirit Fla Master is out of the question,” Qiao Mao whispered to himself.
In his past life, Qiao Mao had been a renowned Spirit Fla Great Master, but that was no longer his reality. To craft pills, he needed a Spirit Fla, as ordinary fire simply wouldn’t suffice. The most straightforward path to becoming a Spirit Fla Master was to seek out these rare flas.
Yet, Demonic Beasts possessing Spirit Flas were exceedingly scarce. Even in his forr life, Qiao Mao had encountered only a handful. Thus, at present, he was at an impasse with no ans to practice his alchemy.
Qiao Mao racked his brain, trying to figure out where he might find a Spirit Fla in the vicinity. Eventually, he rembered Qin Jin.
He thought to himself, “To my knowledge, aside from myself, Qin Jin is the only one in Martial Sun City who has beco a Spirit Fla Master. And he achieved that status one day later than I did.”
In Qiao Mao’s previous life, he was a Spirit Fla Master who had stumbled upon a Spirit Fla by chance, not in Martial Sun City. So, finding a Spirit Fla now seed out of the question.
Back then, after Qiao Shuang’s incident, Qin Jin had taken a secret trip. Rumors swirled that he had ventured to Space Shattering Mountain, and shortly thereafter, he erged as a Spirit Fla Master.
Qin Jin’s cultivation level was quite advanced, at Mortality Transcending Level Four Heaven. Moreover, like Qin Dian, he had trained in martial skills.
“I need to make a breakthrough in my cultivation within a day. If I don’t, I won’t stand a chance against Qin Jin, nor will I be able to secure the Spirit Fla.”
Without delay, Qiao Mao took Qiao Shuang back to their ho. Noticing that the Qin family hadn’t co for vengeance, he breathed a sigh of relief. He then hurriedly approached Zhen Gui and said, “Mother, please pack our belongings. It’s not safe to stay here. I have so matters to attend to.”
“Mao, what’s going on?” Zhen Gui asked, her concern evident upon seeing her son’s urgency.
“I’ve killed Qin Dian,” Qiao Mao confessed as he began packing their belongings.
Zhen Gui was taken aback. She had never imagined that Qiao Mao could have killed Qin Dian, especially in front of a crowd.
They had managed to deal with Qiao Hee’s body discreetly after his death, but killing Qin Dian was bound to bring complications. Being astute, Zhen Gui quickly assisted Qiao Mao with the packing and reassured him, “Mao, don’t worry. I’m here for you.”
Qiao Mao was moved by her support, but knew this wasn’t the ti for sentintality. Handing over the packed bags to Zhen Gui, he instructed, “Take Shuang and rendezvous with my uncle. I need to take care of so business for a few days.”
“What are you planning to do?” Zhen Gui inquired, her worry palpable.
“Since the Qin family and Qiao Guang are out to get us, I’ll send them a warning right now.” A glint of murderous intent flashed in Qiao Mao’s eyes.
Zhen Gui initially wanted to dissuade Qiao Mao, but upon seeing his resolute look, she held her tongue. Instead, she cautioned him, “Be careful. If you run into any trouble, hurry back. With your uncle and here, no one can harm you.”
“Mother, I got it,” Qiao Mao replied with a slight smile. He then instructed Zhen Gui and Qiao Shuang to exit through the back door, while he himself departed from the front. He didn’t spot anyone from the Qin family, so he quickly made his getaway.
No sooner had Qiao Mao and Qiao Shuang left than a throng from the Qin family descended upon the place. Finding Zhen Gui and the others absent, they set fire to Qiao Mao’s ho.
The incident sent shockwaves through Martial Sun City. When Zhang Tianbei got wind of it, he nearly leaped from his chair in astonishnt.
“Dad, what’s Qiao Mao up to? He’s gone and killed Qin Dian. He’s stirring up conflict between the Qiao and Qin families. There’s no advantage in it for him,” Zhang Yu, who was sitting next to his father, Zhang Tianbei, remarked.
Zhang Tianbei, perched on his stool, was suddenly struck by the words Qiao Mao had uttered before his departure. He murmured to himself, “Perhaps this ti, Martial Sun City is really in for a major upheaval. Qiao Dou, what exactly is your son planning? He’s truly beyond my comprehension.”
