The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 234: Chapter 234 Divine Netherworld Pill Chapter 234: Chapter 234 Divine Netherworld Pill Mu Yunfei was somewhat distracted as she looked at Jing Yan.

She was good friends with Jing Ziqi, and Jing Yan was a member of the same family as Jing Ziqi.

Her meeting with Jing Ziqi and Jing Yan this time was entirely coincidental.

That meant that Jing Yan was unlikely to have any premeditation.

So why not let Jing Yan look at her mother?

If he really had a way to help, even if it ultimately didn’t work out, there would be no loss.

“Mr.

Jing Yan, if you can cure my mother, my Mu Family will be forever grateful for your kindness,” Mu Yunfei sincerely said to Jing Yan.

No matter whether Jing Yan could offer help, she was grateful for his intention.

“Miss Yunfei, I’m not entirely sure I can help, I need to see your mother first,” Jing Yan said as he gently shook his head.

Now, he absolutely couldn’t afford to speak too confidently, otherwise, how would he explain himself if he couldn’t handle it?

Manager’s Mansion, which is not far from Lanqu Square Market, is located next to Prince Manor.

“Miss!” The guards at Manager’s Mansion immediately saluted respectfully upon seeing Mu Yunfei.

“These two are my friends,” Mu Yunfei casually told the guards and then led Jing Yan and the others into Manager’s Mansion.

Of course, the guards didn’t dare to stop Mu Yunfei’s friends.

“Mr.

Jing Yan, we’ll go straight to see my father,” Mu Yunfei said to Jing Yan.

She walked ahead, with Jing Yan and Jing Ziqi following behind.

“Jing Yan, do you really have a way?” Jing Ziqi, somewhat nervous.

The manager of Prince Manor, what kind of status was that?

If Jing Yan made a mistake, it could cause a huge mess.

It wasn’t that she didn’t trust Jing Yan, but Mu Yunfei’s mother, the housekeeper’s wife had been affected by the Mist Vortex.

What could Jing Yan possibly do to help?

“Don’t you trust me?” Jing Yan smiled.

Jing Ziqi rolled her eyes, “If you mess up, I will say I don’t know you.”

Their voices were very low, and Mu Yunfei, preoccupied with her thoughts, did not notice at all.

“Miss, the master is discussing matters with the alchemist inside.”

Outside the chief’s residence, a guard stopped Mu Yunfei, implying that the chief was discussing her mother’s condition with the alchemist and that Mu Yunfei should not disturb them for the time being, especially with two people following her.

“Uncle Li, these two are my friends, and Mr.

Jing Yan here may have a way to save my mother,” Mu Yunfei said to the guard.

It was apparent that Mu Yunfei greatly respected this guard.

The guard was older and had probably been with the Manager’s Mansion for quite some time.

“Hmm?” The guard’s gaze sharpened suddenly as he swept it towards Jing Yan.

Initially, he hadn’t paid much attention when he saw Mu Yunfei bringing two people over.

Now, hearing Mu Yunfei say that the person behind her might have a way to cure the lady’s illness, he immediately became cautious.

He sized up Jing Yan, and then a hint of coldness crossed his face, his look also turned grim.

“Boy, who are you?” His tone was no longer polite.

Jing Yan looked too young, appearing to be not even twenty years old.

How could someone so young claim to have a way to cure the lady’s illness?

That was utterly preposterous.

Facing the guard, Jing Yan smiled, a slight turn of his Primordial Energy, he could feel that the guard had already harbored the intent to kill him.

Maybe in his eyes, Jing Yan had ulterior motives?

“Guard Uncle, my name is Jing Yan.

Miss Yunfei is my friend.

I have just found out that there’s an issue with Miss Yunfei’s mother, the Mist Vortex, so I came to help check.

I assure you I have no ill intentions,” Jing Yan explained.

He could understand why the guard harbored murderous intentions; the guard was incredibly loyal to the chief.

And now, having doubts about Jing Yan’s motives, it was normal to feel like killing.

“Kid, I don’t care who you are; if you are thinking of targeting the Manager’s Mansion or the young lady, then you’ve chosen the wrong target,” the guard said sternly.

However, he was slightly surprised.

In the previous moment, he indeed had the intent to kill and had deliberately released it, targeting Jing Yan specifically.

In his view, Jing Yan could not possibly withstand his murderous intent.

But contrary to his expectations, Jing Yan faced the targeted murderous intent with a serene attitude, even seeming unfazed.

This kid was somewhat extraordinary!

If he were an ordinary Martial Artist, he would surely have turned pale and even be shivering by now.

But this young kid was able to casually withstand his murderous intent.

He was a genuine Dao Spirit practitioner, and even martial artists in the Innate Peak Realm couldn’t face it so composedly.

He released the murderous intent not to actually make a move against Jing Yan, but instead, to intimidate him and make him back down.

“Uncle Li, you are mistaken, Mr.

Jing Yan means no harm to us,” although Mu Yunfei hadn’t sensed the guard targeting Jing Yan with murderous intent, she caught on to the hostility the guard had towards Jing Yan, she quickly explained.

“Miss, you’re still young and don’t know how treacherous human hearts can be,” the guard shook his head.

Miss Yunfei was just too kind-hearted and too trusting of others.

“Uncle Li, but if Mr.

Jing Yan really has a way to treat my mother, by doing this, aren’t you delaying a critical matter?” Mu Yunfei grew anxious.

“This…”

The guard was stunned.

Miss Yunfei, do you trust this young man so much?

“Let’s see what he is capable of!” After a slight hesitation, the guard finally stepped aside from the front of the courtyard.

If this young man named Jing Yan really had a way to treat the lady and he were to obstruct that, then he would truly be a sinner.

Looking at the young man again, who was under twenty, he probably didn’t have much strength, so he shouldn’t cause any major problems in the Manager’s Mansion.

“Mr.

Jing Yan, Ziqi, let’s go in and see my father,” Mu Yunfei said with an apologetic smile to Jing Yan and then spoke.

Jing Yan also smiled, showing his understanding.

“Yunfei is back.”

After entering the room, a scholarly-looking middle-aged man saw Mu Yunfei and smiled, though the smile was somewhat bitter.

“Hmm?” However, when he saw that Mu Yunfei was not alone and had brought two people into the room, his expression changed, and his smile disappeared instantly.

“Dad!” Mu Yunfei called out to the middle-aged man.

Jing Yan also took a quick look at this scholarly middle-aged man, who was Mu Yunfei’s father and the Chief Manager of Prince Manor, Mu Liantian.

“Nice to meet you, Lord Chief!” Jing Yan and Jing Ziqi both hurriedly paid their respects.

Jing Yan also noticed that besides Mu Liantian, there were two other people in the room.

These two people were quite old, and without much thought, they must be the pill masters Mu Liantian had invited.

Just before outside, the guard had mentioned that Lord Chief was discussing matters with the pill masters.

“Yunfei, take the two guests to rest,” Mu Liantian, although somewhat displeased with Mu Yunfei bringing two strangers in, clearly had good manners and didn’t get angry on the spot.

“Dad, these two are my friends.

Mr.

Jing Yan here says he might be able to help with mother’s illness,” Mu Yunfei quickly said anxiously.

“Hmm?” Mu Liantian’s gaze sharpened suddenly, staring at Jing Yan.

This time, his demeanor wasn’t nearly as calm as before, and even Jing Yan felt a slight tremor under that gaze.

That kind of authority of a superior was truly terrifying, far surpassing that of Donglin City Lord, Huo Chunyang.

“Young man, do you know what’s wrong with Yunfei’s mother?” Mu Liantian’s gaze hardened, and he asked indifferently.

“It’s a problem with the Fog Vortex.

According to Yunfei, it became unstable due to a failed attempt to breakthrough her realm,” Jing Yan responded calmly.

“You know it’s a Fog Vortex issue and still say you might help?” Mu Liantian frowned.

“Whether I can assist or not remains uncertain.

I would need to see the lady to know,” Jing Yan kept his tone serene and remained calm in the face of alarm.

Mu Liantian fell into contemplation again.

This young man’s indifferent demeanor could not have been feigned.

Just who exactly was this young man?

It was doubtful even the sons from the strongest great families in Lanqu County City had such an aura.

How did Yunfei meet him?

Perhaps he’s also a student at Red Lotus Academy?

“Chief Mu, the lady’s condition is growing increasingly worse; I think we should not unnecessarily delay any further.”

At this moment, one of the two pill masters frowned and said somewhat impatiently to Mu Liantian.

When he spoke, his gaze also shifted towards Jing Yan, his disdain quite evident.

It was as if to say, where did this brash young kid pop up from, daring to deceive his way into the Manager’s Mansion?

Seeing this look, Jing Yan smirked coldly and met the other’s gaze without faltering.

“High Alchemist, you just mentioned trying the Divine Netherworld Pill, how confident are you?” Mu Liantian asked the pill master.

“Divine Netherworld Pill?” Jing Yan’s heart stirred slightly.

He certainly knew of the Divine Netherworld Pill.

It was a fourth-level elixir that he was far from being able to refine personally, but in the Qiankun Pill Path, the process to refine Divine Netherworld Pills was detailed extensively.

Indeed, Divine Netherworld Pill was directly related to the Fog Vortex.

However, hearing that the High Alchemist intended to use it, Jing Yan couldn’t help but chuckle coldly.

Although he had yet to meet Mu Yunfei’s mother and did not know the exact situation, he was sure that if the Divine Netherworld Pill were used, Mu Yunfei’s mother would almost certainly face a life-and-death situation, possibly even dying on the spot.

The Divine Netherworld Pill was not a healing elixir.

Although it related to the Fog Vortex, its primary purpose was indeed to expand the Mist Vortex Space.

With the Divine Netherworld Pill, a martial artist’s Fog Vortex could be expanded to some extent.

However, such expansion carried significant risks.

If there was no other hope on the path of martial arts, a martial artist would never willingly use such an elixir.

Hold on, High Alchemist?

Jing Yan’s mind stirred slightly.

High Alchemist?

There might be more than one pill master named Gao in the Lanqu County City Alchemist Association, but the number of pill masters was not high, and those surnamed Gao would be even fewer.

Could this High Alchemist be Cang Yu’s master, Gao Zhao Hai?
