Chapter 223: Fairfrost Sage Joins The Black Heaven Sect, Unconditional Support

Seeing Graygrill Sage’s silhouette leaving in embarrassment, everyone thought it was absurd.

The Overlord Sage Tribe was said to be the strongest sage orthodoxy in the Black Warrior Domain. The people of that orthodoxy were extremely domineering and almost no one dared to provoke them at all.

However, they had taken a huge blow from Chu Kuangren that day.

“It’s not that the Overlord Sage Tribe isn’t overbearing enough, they simply encountered a madman, that’s all.”

One of the Alchemists suddenly mattered, and everyone chimed in agreement.

“The name Chu Kuangren is derived from the word lunatic or madman in some way I suppose.”

“D*mn, this guy is terrifyingly strong. He’s clearly just an Honorable but he can already crush and injure a Sage to the brink of death. Is he even human?”

“What a monster.”

…

Chu Kuangren then approached Gujiang. As a surge of mysterious Daoist Rhyme emanated, he raised his hand and used the Spring Breeze Healing Technique on Gujiang.

Gujiang could feel a spring breeze blow on his face and the injuries on his body recovered at a rapid rate.

It was much better compared to most of the healing medicinal pills.

“What a splendid technique.” Gujiang could not help but exclaim. The surprises that Chu Kuangren had for him were getting more and more.

Fairfrost Sage walked to Chu Kuangren and said, “Brother Chu, I’m very grateful for your help. I’m afraid I wouldn’t have gotten out of it if not for your assistance.”

“I’m glad to help, Sage.”

“Oh right, I saw a surge of pill qi rise into the sky just now, has Brother Chu managed to refine the Sage-grade pill?” Fairfrost Sage asked curiously.

“That’s right.”

Chu Kuangren chuckled as he took out a jade bottle.

In it were three golden medicinal pills. Even with the jade bottle as a barrier between the medicinal pills and the outside world, everyone could still feel the surges of Daoist Rhyme that emanated from it.

That was a Ninth-Level Sage Grade Supreme Pill after all!

It was originally still quite a challenge for him to refine a Supreme Elixir of that level. However, with the help of Tiny Tian, the Vitality Pill Tome’s item sprite beside him, he got twice the result with half the effort.

The Alchemists present saw the medicinal pills and gulped hard as if a long-starved glutton saw a large table of delicious food before them.

Gujiang was no exception too.

He could not help but tried to reach for it, and he even wanted to touch them. However, his hand was slapped away by Chu Kuangren.

A sad look suddenly appeared on Gujiang’s face. “Sect Leader, can’t you just let me touch it?”

“Both of us are thousands of years apart in terms of alchemy knowledge and cultivation. How can the medicinal pills I refine possibly impress a great master like you?” Chu Kuangren replied casually.

Gujiang was initially taken aback as he did not understand what Chu Kuangren meant, but he thought about it and eventually recalled what had happened earlier.

Before Chu Kuangren filled up the pill recipes, he had mocked him, saying that it would take him thousands of years to complete all of them.

‘F*ck me!’

Gujiang was stunned.

Did he mocked and laughed at his Sect Leader just now?

‘By the heavens!’

“No, Sect Leader… Please let me explain. I didn’t know it was you at that time. Besides, I merely teased you with a few words, that’s all. Why do you still remember them? That makes you seem a little petty…”

“Petty?”

Chu Kuangren shot a glare at Gujiang and proceeded to keep the pill away.

Gujiang wanted to cry but no tears came out.

He had accidentally said something wrong again.

…

“Do you have any plans in the future, Fairfrost Sage?”

Chu Kuangren asked the Fairfrost Sage before he left.

“What does Brother Chu mean?”

“With the Grandmaster’s Inheritance in your possession, I bet that Master Lee and the Overlord Sage Tribe will be after you soon. I’m afraid that they might even return. When that time comes, how do you plan to deal with them?”

Fairfrost Sage smiled bitterly when she heard Chu Kuangren’s words. “You have a point, Brother Chu. I suppose I can’t stay in Fairfrost Valley any longer and must find another place to live in seclusion.”

“If you don’t mind me, I have a suggestion to make.”

Chu Kuangren smiled.

“Feel free to tell me, Brother Chu.”

“Noble Fairfrost Sage, why don’t you join my Black Heaven Sect instead? Since you specialize in growing Supreme Elixirs and medicinal pills, it’ll be quite a waste if you don’t make good use of your splendid abilities. If you agree to join my Black Heaven Sect, I shall order my men to open up a new area for you to live in seclusion. You can still live life the way you prefer, growing plants and herbs, or even researching some new methods of alchemy in your free time.”

“All you need to do is cultivate some medicinal herbs and Supreme Elixirs for the Black Heaven Sect. Most importantly, with the Black Heaven Sect, the people from the Overlord Sage Tribe will have to reconsider their choices then and will never dare to trouble you,” Chu Kuangren explained.

Fairfrost Sage pondered for a while before she said, “Alright, I’ll agree to your offer.”

At her reply, Chu Kuangren froze for a while.

He did not expect Fairfrost Sage to agree to his idea without any hesitation. He even had a few other reasons prepared as well.

After all, Fairfrost Sage was used to living alone in seclusion and had never joined any orthodoxies or organizations as well. It did not seem like a simple matter to persuade her to join and live under the wings of an orthodoxy or group.

Chu Kuangren touched his face.

‘Is it because I look too handsome?’

After packing up for a while, Chu Kuangren, Lan Yu, Gujiang, Fairfrost Sage, and her female disciple departed from Fairfrost Valley.

Before coming to Fairfrost Valley, Chu Kuangren had the Illusive Mirage stopped somewhere in the air nearby for Second Forefather to guard it.

It did not take long for the few of them to return to the Illusive Mirage.

“Huh, a Sage?”

The Black Heaven’s Second Forefather was shocked to see Fairfrost Sage and Gujiang.

Chu Kuangren then briefly told him what had happened. After learning that the Fairfrost Sage was going to join the Black Heaven Sect, the Black Heaven’s Second Forefather was naturally delighted.

The presence of a Sage was just too important for an orthodoxy as each one who joined could serve as a great help towards its success.

Never did the Black Heaven’s Second Forefather expect Chu Kuangren to return with another Sage when he set out on a journey.

The fact that it happened almost stunned the Black Heaven’s Second Forefather.

However, the mouth of Black Heaven’s Second Forefather could not help but twitch upon learning that Chu Kuangren had offended the Overlord Sage Tribe.

‘This young lad is such a skilled troublemaker.’

Having traveled to the Black Warrior Domain this time, Chu Kuangren had killed two of the Murong clan’s Sages, turned the whole Ghost Street upside down, and incurred the resentment of every demonic cultivator from that domain.

Now the Overlord Sage Tribe was added to the list as well.

Since the Illusive Mirage was extremely huge, both Fairfrost Sage and Gujiang were astonished the first time they boarded it. Chu Kuangren then had Lan Yu show them around the Fairy boat.

“Forefather, don’t you have anything to say to me?”

Chu Kuangren asked Black Heaven’s Second Forefather after everyone had left.

“Huh? What are you talking about?”

“Seeing that I’ve made so many enemies in this trip to the Black Warrior Domain, aren’t you going to reprimand me or something?” Chu Kuangren blinked as he spoke.

“Haha, young lad. Since we’ve already handed the leadership of the Black Heaven Sect to you, the affairs of the sect are naturally up to you. Just do what you feel is necessary. As long as you’re the one doing it, we shall support your decisions unconditionally.”

Black Heaven’s Second Forefather laughed.

That display of trust warmed Chu Kuangren’s heart.

“Forefather, that’s quite the amount of pressure you’re giving me here.”

“It’s fine. If you can’t take it, you’ll still have us as support.”

“It is true that we’ve made quite a few enemies on our trip to the Black Warrior Domain this time. However, since the Murong clan already lost their Sages, there’s nothing to be afraid of about them anymore. The demonic orthodoxies on the other hand, besides the ones from the Underworld Palace, the rest of them are not worth the concern. As for the Overlord Sage Tribe… I’ve only severed a limb from one of their Sages as a punishment. Although they’ll no doubt be enraged by this, that doesn’t mean that they’ll clash head-on with us just because of that matter.”

Chu Kuangren explained slowly.

Frankly speaking, despite having made a lot of enemies in the Black Warrior Domain during his current trip, he did not have to worry about most of them except for the Overlord Sage Tribe.

He may have severed Graygrill Sage’s arm but he still left his opponent alive as well. Compared to the life of a Sage, a single severed limb was different.

If he were to kill Graygrill Sage back then, the Overlord Sage Tribe would no doubt retaliate. They would even join forces with the other forces to go against the Black Heaven Sect as well.

Although a lunatic who acted too unscrupulously would make all the forces succumb to him due to fear, he would be a target for everyone as well!

As of now, Chu Kuangren and the Black Heaven Sect still did not possess the strength to face off against everyone, and that was the main reason he decided to let Graygrill Sage escape alive as well.

The current situation he was in was just nice. He was a huge deterrent to everyone, but not to the point where everyone would be so frightened that they would band together to target the Black Heaven Sect.
