Purple Glow Ultimate Jade
“Since when did you own a store, Gramps?”
Ku Mu gave the two a nod. “You two have changed quite a bit.”
“Greetings, Sir Ku Mu.” The couple gratefully bowed on their knees.
“Get up. I’m no longer the proprietor. I’m a mere Golden Core Realm cultivator now.” Ku Mu sounded different to his usual tone.
Ji Zitang respectfully replied, “Cultivation has no effect on what you did for us. You took us in and passed your herb knowledge on to us, taught us to cultivate and entrusted this clinic to us.”
“We heard about your misfortune. Sadly, our cultivation is too poor to help you. Sorry,” expressed Gu Xiaomin, apologetic.
“Don’t worry about it. I have luck on my side.”
The couple rose and asked, “You must be the famous Mu Yu?”
“I am. It’s good to meet you.”The couple exchanged thoughts via eye contact. Gu Xiaomin then apologised, “We did not recognise you before. It was mainly because of your different appearance… Please forgive us, Sir Ku Mu.”
“Don’t sweat it. It’s been thirty years, after all. I didn’t know you two were still here.”
“We did not want to let the clinic you and Madam Yuyan started go to waste,” asserted Ji Zitang, wondering how Ku Mu’s changed so much.
“Madam Yuyan? Gramps, you didn’t open this clinic with my shiniang, did you?”
“You have a problem with it?”
“No, not at all, haha.”
Ku Mu set up a medical clinic to help injured cultivators at Twenty-Five Kilometres South Garden after departing from Pill Cauldron Sect and before going to the valley. Twenty-Five Kilometres South Garden was where he first met Miao Yuyan, where he brought her back to the clinic when he chanced upon her in her injured state. She decided to help out at the clinic to repay him and named the place Qing Yu, which was a combination of their names.
Back in the day, Ji Zitang and Gu Xiaomin were clerks at the clinic. As they said, Ku Mu passed on his knowledge to them. After Miao Yuyan fell for Feng Haochen, he left the clinic to the two.
“Sir, are you back to take over the clinic again?” Ji Zitang inquired with an eager expression.
“No. I just came back to pick something up.”
Ji Zitang figuratively shrivelled. He soon sprung back to life and asked, “Are you here for purple glow ultimate jade?”
Ku Mu nodded. “I need it to cast a formation. I’ll return it once I’m done.”
An assortment of herbs were left out to dry in the backyard. There was also an herb garden that took up half of the courtyard. A formation was set up to protect the herbs’ spiritual qi. Besides protecting them, it also promoted growth. At the centre was an amethyst stone packed full of potent spiritual qi. The stone was the formation’s foundation and spiritual qi supply.
“What do you need the purple glow ultimate jade for?” remarked Mu Yu.
“You think I could cast the formation in my current state? I need the gem to supply me with spiritual energy. Not only is Nine Heavens Demon Sealing Formation a hassle to set up but also demanding spiritual energy wise. I can only say I’m sorry to them for ruining the spiritual herbs they put so much effort into.”
Ku Mu entered the herb garden and performed hand seals to remove the formation. As he mentioned, the spiritual qi spilled out immediately.
Mu Yu dragged Xiaoshuai out by his tail. “Lend a hand.”
Xiaoshuai reluctantly wagged his tail to recollect the scattered spiritual qi.
“Pass me all of your spirit stones. Recast a spirit collection formation and growth promotion formation. We can’t ruin their sweat and tears,” demanded Ku Mu.
Mu Yu had no choice but to take out all of his spirit stones, which numbered between five to six thousand spirit stones. He was still a greenhorn and could barely cast a spirit collection formation and growth promotion formation.
“You better study the formations I taught you after this. Formation knowledge isn’t just for casting them but also for combat! You’re embarrassing me!” Ku Mu berated.
“My shifu never taught me formations. You only taught me about herbs back at the valley. I’m not the problem.”
“Don’t go telling people you’re my disciple when a formation master trounces you.”
Ku Mu explained the situation to the couple. When Ku Mu left the clinic, Wanwan approached them again. “You finished? Come to my room, then! I like winning over men who don’t like me.”
To Wanwan’s credit, she wasn’t someone who used unscrupulous means or forced herself on someone. She was stronger than both of them and could’ve forced herself on Ku Mu at the clinic. While she managed to infuriate Ku Mu to no end, Mu Yu found her teasing amusing.
Around the corner, they bumped into two familiar faces, the white ape fiend king and Qiao Xue. Pleasant surprise flitted across Qiao Xue’s face before she averted her gaze. The fiend king, on the other hand, sauntered over and stared Mu Yu down. “We meet again. Qiao Xue, I suggest you drop him. I caught him at Hell on Earth. Not even I would want to go there. You can’t judge a book by its cover.”
“You were the one who went, yet you’re accusing me?”
“How would you know I was there if you didn’t go?” The white ape fiend king asked with a smirk.
“That’s my question!”
Wanwan looped her arm around Ku Mu’s. “Just admit it if you went, Mu Yu. What’s the issue? I saw you, but you didn’t bring Uncle with you. Otherwise, we could’ve had some fine, right, Uncle?”
Ku Mu ripped his arm out of Wanwan’s hold and stomped off.
Mu Yu pointed to the fiend king and said, “Wanwan, this man is tough, too. How about you find somewhere to have some fun with him? I need to have a word with Qiao Xue.”
“I wouldn’t stoop so low as to do it with beasts.” Wanwan ambled off.
“You think everyone is you, thinking of erotic things all day?” The fiend king puffed his chest and started.
“Who was staring at her peach the entire time?”
“What’s with that language? I was admiring her aura.”
Qiao Xue intervened, stating, “Uncle, please let me have a word with him in private.”
“You should be careful of frauds, Qiao Xue. Look at the real him. He’s scum. I’m going to go to Hell on Earth every day from now to watch him. I’ll smash him every time I catch him.” The white ape fiend king pushed open the door and headed in.
Mu Yu awkwardly smiled and explained, “I really didn’t go there t-“
“So you admit you went?” Qiao Xue looked as though she was resisting a laugh.
“I… I did, but not for the reason you’re thinking. I j-“
“I know you’re not that sort of person. You don’t need to explain.”
Mu Yu heaved a breath of relief, thinking, finally somebody normal.
