Before the shrine at the summit of Chi Xiao Mountain.
Under the large willow tree, a square table was set up, where the Venerable of Chi Xiao, Black and White Impermanence, and Lin Jiuxiao sat encircled.
"Venerable Chi Xiao, why are you being so stingy? If you don't need it now, let us use it first. When Mr. Jiang makes another one, we'll return it to you!" Black Impermanence looked at the Venerable of Chi Xiao helplessly.
"It won't do. Our Chixiao Sect has only this one Polyporus Barrier Breaking Elixir left, we can't give it to you. Tian Ze is about to breakthrough, and we haven't even given it to him," the Venerable of Chi Xiao waved his hand, appearing totally inflexible.
"Lin Jiuxiao, where the hell have you died off to?!"
Suddenly, a roar reached the summit, startling the four, who quickly looked towards the mountainside.
"Jiuxiao, how did you offend Tian Ze?" Venerable Chi Xiao asked, looking at Lin Jiuxiao in surprise.
Lin Jiuxiao answered in confusion, "Aside from not giving him the Polyporus Breaking Mirror Elixir, I haven't provoked him! Surely, he wouldn't be this enraged just because of the elixir? Could it be that Mr. Jiang also refused him?"
"Lin Jiuxiao, get the fuck out here! If my disciple dies because of your delay, I'll beat you to death, you damned bastard!" As the two exchanged words, an even louder roar of fury came their way.
"What?! Has something happened to Mr. Jiang?" Lin Jiuxiao's expression changed drastically as he channeled his Inner Qi and yelled, "Elder Mo, come up to the summit!"
"Mr. Jiang? Who's that? And since when do you, Lin Jiuxiao, need to politely address someone as 'Mr.'?" Black Impermanence asked Lin Jiuxiao with a face of surprise.
"Lin Jiuxiao, quick, give me the Polyporus Barrier Breaking Elixir!" A hurried voice rang out as Mo Tianze rushed up from the mountainside.
"Polyporus Barrier Breaking Elixir?!" Lin Jiuxiao was taken aback.
Black and White Impermanence stood up immediately to block Mo Tianze, "Elder Mo, Elder Zhao from Unchanging Valley is about to breakthrough. You wait a moment; when it's time for your breakthrough, go find Jiang... wait, who did you say was in trouble just now?"
Only then did Black and White Impermanence realize—the Mr. Jiang mentioned by Lin Jiuxiao, could it be...
"My disciple is in trouble!" Mo Tianze shouted impatiently, swiftly bypassing Black and White Impermanence and leaping to Lin Jiuxiao's side, reaching into his pocket: "Hurry up, Young Jiang is waiting on the elixir to save his life!"
"No, wait, the Polyporus Barrier Breaking Elixir is for breakthroughs, save what life? You're trying to deceive an elixir from me, aren't you?" Lin Jiuxiao dodged Mo Tianze's hand, eying him warily.
"Damn your ancestors! Hurry up with the elixir. Do you think I would deceive you with my disciple's life?" Mo Tianze exploded in rage.
Buzzing!
Mo Tianze's entire aura burst forth, his face desperate as he barked at Lin Jiuxiao, "Hurry up!"
Lin Jiuxiao's heart trembled, instantly believing Mo Tianze. Despite their usual bickering, he knew Mo Tianze would never joke about something so serious.
Swoosh! Swoosh swoosh!
Several figures appeared, Fan Shuqian and several other elders all arrived at the summit.
"Is it Mr. Jiang who's in trouble? The Mr. Jiang from the Jiang Family of Jincheng?" Black Impermanence suddenly darted beside Mo Tianze, blurting out what he possibly couldn't have said in days.
"Who else if not him? He's the only disciple I have!" Mo Tianze replied irately, staring intently at Lin Jiuxiao.
"The elixir!" Black Impermanence turned, his face ominous as he looked at Lin Jiuxiao, his Evil Qi emanating.
White Impermanence too glanced over urgently.
"I'll go get it!" Lin Jiuxiao promptly responded and dashed into the shrine.
"Elder Mo, what has happened to Mr. Jiang?" White Impermanence turned, his complexion ashen, and looked at Mo Tianze.
Mo Tianze shook his head, "I don't know, Young Jiang's guard said it, he needs the Polyporus Barrier Breaking Elixir to save his life!"
"Where are they?" Black Impermanence asked in a deep voice.
"At..." Just as Mo Tianze was about to speak up, the ancestor of Chi Xiao cut him off, "Wait!"
Looking at Black Impermanence, the ancestor of Chi Xiao said with a grave expression, "Have you forgotten what Mr. Jiang mentioned? He provided us with so many elixirs, even giving us most of the ones he made for warriors in the Venerable Realm. For what purpose? If you go now, wouldn't that expose us?"
"But..." White Impermanence furrowed his brows tightly, staring intently at the ancestor of Chi Xiao.
The ancestor of Chi Xiao understood White Impermanence's thoughts; if something happened to Jiang Chen, Unchanging Valley's existence would be rendered meaningless.
After a moment of thought, the ancestor of Chi Xiao took out his old cell phone and dialed a number.
"Hello, old friend, what brings you to call me?" An elderly voice came through the receiver.
"Old friend, your relationship with Mr. Jiang seems not bad, right?" The ancestor of Chi Xiao spoke softly.
"Mr. Jiang? Jiang Chen? Indeed, we're on good terms, what's the matter?" A puzzled voice came through the receiver.
The ancestor of Chi Xiao sighed with relief and said solemnly, "Mr. Jiang is now in life-threatening danger, can you send someone to check on him?"
"What? That can't be, right? Isn't Hu Sha that old fellow with him?" A surprised voice came through the receiver.
The ancestor of Chi Xiao was taken aback and glanced at Mo Tianze, frowning tightly, "Hu Sha is with Mr. Jiang? But..."
"Didn't that old fellow screw up again? I'll call him!" The voice through the receiver sounded exasperated, then the call was abruptly ended!
The ancestor of Chi Xiao put away his phone, his brow lightly furrowed as he dialed another number.
"Hello, Senior Chi Xiao." The call was quickly connected, and Yan Hu's urgent voice came through, "Elixirs! Do you still have any elixirs? They haven't been used up, have they?"
"They haven't been used up, rest assured," the ancestor of Chi Xiao spoke softly.
Whoosh!
"The Elixir is here!" A shouting voice rose, and Lin Jiuxiao jumped in front of Mo Tianze holding a small porcelain bottle.
Mo Tianze took the elixir and turned to leave.
"Tian Ze, wait a moment," the ancestor of Chi Xiao called out solemnly and said to the phone, "Mr. Yan Hu, how did Mr. Jiang get hurt? Isn't Hu Sha there? Do I need to come over?"
A jolt of alarm struck the hearts of Mo Tianze and the others, their faces full of shock as they looked at the ancestor of Chi Xiao.
The... The ancestor himself wanted to make a trip? This, this...
The ancestor of Chi Xiao had not descended from Chi Xiao Mountain for a hundred years, and yet, now he was willing to actively make his way down for Jiang Chen, which... which showed the esteem in which he held Jiang Chen and simultaneously, the worry for Jiang Chen's current situation!
The ancestor of Chi Xiao was a venerable elder, and although Black and White Impermanence called the ancestor of Chi Xiao 'old brother,' the elders of Black and White Impermanence also called him 'old brother.' If one were really to observe the hierarchy, Black and White Impermanence should be calling the ancestor of Chi Xiao 'grandfather,' it's just that now they were the ancestors of Unchanging Valley, so calling him 'grandfather' was not appropriate!
Dingyun Lake Villa.
"Oh, so that's what happened!" Knowing the elixir was secured, Yan Hu's tense heart also relaxed, and he briefly explained the situation.
"So it was like that. I thought you were attacked by apex warriors!" replied the ancestor of Chi Xiao over the phone with a relieved sigh, "Tian Ze will bring the elixir over, and if necessary, you can have him contact me!"
"Alright, thank you, Senior Chi Xiao!" Yan Hu replied respectfully.
