CHAPTER 422: I REALLY DON'T DESERVE SENIOR BROTHER XINGHE

Wan Lin was utterly disheartened.

I, Wan Lin, have truly fallen... Have I reached the point where even creating a surprise for Senior Brother Xinghe is so difficult?

Look at the Ouyang Family... They create surprises for Senior Brother Xinghe at the drop of a hat, and every time Senior Brother Xinghe mentions the Ouyang Family, he's moved to tears.

And then there's the Muyue Nation... Just look at how many surprises they've given Senior Brother Xinghe this year alone.

The last time I mentioned the Crystal of Xinghe to Senior Brother Xinghe, he was so happy that tears flowed uncontrollably.

As for Ma Liang, there's no need to even mention...

As Senior Brother Xinghe's closest confidant, Ma Liang has given him more surprises than anyone else in the entire sect.

But when I look at everyone else, and then at myself... Why is it so difficult for me, Wan Lin, to give Senior Brother Xinghe a surprise?

While Wan Lin was lamenting her difficulties, Ma Liang's words left her stunned.

Wan Lin knew well that Senior Brother Xinghe was unfathomable, and now he had reached a level where she couldn't see through him at all.

But what did Ma Liang mean?

Soon, Ma Liang made Wan Lin understand just how unfathomable Senior Brother Xinghe truly was.

Ma Liang said, "Junior Sister Wan Lin... we were all wrong... Senior Brother Xinghe had foreseen every step from the start!

First of all, Senior Brother Xinghe surely knows about your Enchantment Technique, right...

Senior Brother Xinghe naturally knows that the Enchantment Technique can enchant Demonic Beasts, and the Mirror Talisman is obviously part of his calculations too.

But Junior Sister Wan Lin, have you ever wondered why, knowing all this, Senior Brother Xinghe hasn't done anything about it?

I, Ma Liang, couldn't figure this out before either.

But now, with your failure, Junior Sister Wan Lin, I finally understand.

The reason is simple: Senior Brother Xinghe knew from the beginning that if we followed your method, Junior Sister Wan Lin, it would definitely fail.

Senior Brother Xinghe is someone who never fails, so he would never do something that is destined to fail.

But while we are helpless in the face of failure, Senior Brother Xinghe is different. He can find a solution from anywhere.

And the key to solving the problem this time lies with Ji Changfeng!

Everyone outside says that Senior Brother Xinghe is unparalleled in virtue, willing to help the Heavenly Medicine Palace, even at the cost of confronting Ji Changfeng. Ｒ𝐀𐌽𝔬BË𝙎

But that's too shallow... everyone's perspective is too shallow.

The reason Senior Brother Xinghe chose to confront Ji Changfeng is not just because of the Heavenly Medicine Palace, but also because of our Grand Sky Sect.

Wan Lin was already a bit dazed...

"Brother Ma Liang, I really have fallen. I can't keep up with Senior Brother Xinghe's thinking, and now I can't even keep up with yours."

"Junior Sister Wan Lin... tell me, what was the key to your failure this time?"

"The Enchantment Technique cast by the Mirror Talisman lacked the enhancement of the Enchantment Body, so its effect couldn't reach the level of my personal casting. The Demonic Beasts' mental barriers could completely resist the Enchantment Technique, so it failed!"

"Exactly! That's the reason! So, Junior Sister Wan Lin, if we could make the Demonic Beasts' mental barriers less strong... tell me, wouldn't the Mirror Talisman definitely succeed?"

Wan Lin nodded quickly, because that was certain.

"Then there's no problem. What's the best way to break the mental barriers of Demonic Beasts? Of course, it's poison techniques... As long as we can put the Demonic Beasts in a semi-dazed state, their mental barriers will become infinitely weak. At that point, using the Mirror Talisman, wouldn't it be stable?"

Wan Lin suddenly realized!

So that's what Brother Ma Liang meant...

No wonder Brother Ma Liang mentioned Elder Ji Changfeng.

Making Demonic Beasts semi-dazed is something Wan Lin really has no good method for...

Although the Eternal Spring Palace is also skilled in poison techniques, their poison techniques are mainly focused on how to poison people to death.

In other aspects of poison techniques, the Eternal Spring Palace really hasn't made much progress.

But Ji Changfeng is different; Ji Changfeng has a unique skill called the Enchantment Technique, a secret method within poison techniques.

Ji Changfeng's Enchantment Technique is renowned throughout the world. It's said that Ji Changfeng's most famous feat was using it to even confuse the Martial Emperor!

If it can confuse the Martial Emperor, just imagine how easily it can confuse a Demonic Beast!

When a Demonic Beast is under the Enchantment Technique, doesn't its mental barrier defense drop to the lowest?

In this situation, using the Mirror Talisman... isn't there no problem at all?

After listening to Brother Ma Liang, Wan Lin was completely excited!

Brother Ma Liang is spot on! Brother Ma Liang truly is Senior Brother Xinghe's closest confidant.

Brother Ma Liang understood every step Senior Brother Xinghe took...

No wonder Senior Brother Xinghe wanted to bring Ji Changfeng to our Grand Sky Sect; it was all for the Demonic Beast plan!

Ji Changfeng is an incredibly important part of our Demonic Beast plan... Without Ji Changfeng's Enchantment Technique, no matter how hard we try, we can't truly control the Demonic Beasts. But now, with Ji Changfeng, everything is solved.

Wan Lin was tearfully determined; Senior Brother Xinghe, rest assured, no matter how difficult the road ahead, I, Wan Lin, will give you a tremendous surprise.

So Wan Lin planned to head to Ji Changfeng immediately to inquire about the Enchantment Technique.

However, she was stopped by Ma Liang.

"Junior Sister Wan Lin, why can't you be patient? At this time, Senior Brother Xinghe should still be learning poison techniques from Elder Ji. If you go now, wouldn't you be disturbing Senior Brother Xinghe?"

"We should wait until Senior Brother Xinghe finishes his learning and leaves, then we can go. Although I know you really want to give Senior Brother Xinghe a surprise, you can't disturb his studies for that!"

Wan Lin nodded in agreement with Ma Liang's reasoning... As expected of a future Great Elder, Brother Ma Liang's considerations are indeed comprehensive.

On the other side... Chu Xinghe dragged his weary body out of Ji Changfeng's room...

Today, Ji Changfeng taught him the secret Enchantment Technique... Chu Xinghe didn't know how enchanting the technique was... he only knew that he himself was completely dazed...

I'm utterly confused...

Although he really wanted to run back to his room to rest immediately, Chu Xinghe knew it wasn't time to rest yet.

Because over at the Spirit Crane Palace, Wu Qun had been there for a while, and his injuries, under the combined efforts of Ji Changfeng and the Great Elder, had fully healed.

Wu Qun was also at the point where he needed to leave the Grand Sky Sect and return to the Heavenly Medicine Palace, so he still had to head to the Spirit Crane Palace to see off Wu Qun and the Little Squirrel.

At the Spirit Crane Palace...

Wu Qun no longer had the sickly appearance he had before. The poison he had been afflicted with wasn't life-threatening, and with Ji Changfeng's intervention, Wu Qun naturally recovered.

But in just a few days, the experiences at the Spirit Crane Palace completely overturned Wu Qun's understanding of countless years...

In the past, the Medicine King Palace within the Spirit Crane Palace was known as the best in alchemy.

And the Heavenly Medicine Palace was second.

Over the years, Wu Qun had often brought the Heavenly Medicine Palace to the Medicine King Palace for guidance... though it was more of a challenge.

Even though they failed every time, Wu Qun knew that while the Heavenly Medicine Palace wasn't as good as the Medicine King Palace, the gap wasn't that large.

If we work hard, we still have a chance.

If past failures made Wu Qun feel that the opportunity was within reach, then the last time he brought Luo Ying'er to the Grand Sky Sect with the Martial Emperor City for a challenge left Wu Qun somewhat despairing.

There was no way around it... Chu Xinghe had utterly crushed Luo Ying'er with unimaginable means... That battle was a significant blow to Wu Qun.

Because Wu Qun had always believed that Luo Ying'er was destined to surpass him as a super alchemy genius.

Given time, Luo Ying'er would surely become a super genius leading the entire alchemy world...

She would lead the Heavenly Medicine Palace to become the best in the world, and the Heavenly Medicine Palace would undoubtedly become incredibly glorious in Luo Ying'er's hands.

But that battle... Luo Ying'er lost miserably.

And that wasn't even the most terrifying part... The most terrifying part was that even after losing, Luo Ying'er kept talking about Senior Brother Xinghe.

Even when Wu Qun, her master, occasionally said something bad about Chu Xinghe, Luo Ying'er would jump out and confront him directly!

Ungrateful disciple!

Don't you know that I'm your master, and Chu Xinghe is the one who defeated you... shouldn't you be motivated to improve after being defeated by Chu Xinghe?

Why are you so quick to say you'll give everything to Chu Xinghe after losing?

I, Wu Qun, trained you to lead the Heavenly Medicine Palace to the top, not to become a fangirl of Chu Xinghe after you rise...

When you keep talking about Senior Brother Xinghe, can't you consider your master Wu Qun's feelings?

Besides, Luo Ying'er, you're not even a match for Chu Xinghe...

While you have extraordinary talent in alchemy, just look at Chu Xinghe... Is there anything in this world that Chu Xinghe isn't good at?

Do you know how many exceptional women in the world are crying out that they won't marry anyone but Chu Xinghe?

Of course, Wu Qun couldn't say this to Luo Ying'er, or she'd surely retort fiercely.

So Wu Qun kept encouraging Luo Ying'er... saying, "Ying'er, your Senior Brother Xinghe is an outstanding person. I understand your desire to follow him, but you're not good enough yet. You don't match your Senior Brother Xinghe; you must keep striving to reach a higher position to have a chance."

Originally, Wu Qun thought that saying "you don't match Chu Xinghe" would anger Luo Ying'er, but after saying it, Wu Qun was stunned.

Because instead of getting angry, Luo Ying'er agreed immediately, saying, "Master is right... I really don't match Senior Brother Xinghe... so I need to work harder!"

Wu Qun: "..."
