Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 1522: Chapter 1522: The Enemy of My Enemy Is My Friend

He thought his little plan was known only to heaven and earth, but he didn’t realize that the moment he stepped out of the door, a barely noticeable cold smile appeared at the corner of Bo Xuanji’s mouth.

He never considered that although people like Mu Hanyan have unusual backgrounds, their cultivation in the Holy Court is actually not much. Even with the Holy Master’s favor, it shouldn’t trigger envy and rejection among the young disciples of the Holy Court. Han Yutang’s hostility and Jin Qisheng’s resentment likely hint at hidden motives.

Coming to the back mountain, Wei Xiaotian did not cultivate and heal as he claimed but instead sped along a small path towards Jin Qisheng’s residence.

Not long after walking, he encountered Han Yutang, who had a confident smile on his face.

”Brother Wei, what a coincidence! You’re usually busy in seclusion training, it’s rare to see you. I didn’t expect to meet you here.” Han Yutang was in a good mood and took the initiative to greet Wei Xiaotian.

”Just taking a walk, clearing my mind,” Wei Xiaotian said perfunctorily, pretending to be in a bad mood.

”What’s wrong, is it because of that dead girl Mu Hanyan? I heard you were defeated by her two days ago and haven’t woken up since.” Han Yutang said boldly.

Wei Xiaotian cursed idiotically, who would pour salt on wounds like this? Luckily, I’m intentionally here for this, or it would be strange not to turn hostile.

Thinking this, Wei Xiaotian still put on a displeased expression.

”Brother Wei, don’t be embarrassed. That nasty girl is indeed formidable; even my Thousand Illusion Demon Suppressing Formation couldn’t trouble her, and she even humiliated me. But she won’t be proud for long, I’ve already devised a way to deal with her,” Han Yutang said proudly.

”What way?” Wei Xiaotian raised his head, showing some interest.

”In a few days, isn’t it the day to distribute the Holy Pills? I’ve arranged with Elder Jin that the distribution will be handled by Divine Elder Peak this time. I’ll give them disgraceful pills, see if I won’t make Mu Hanyan die of anger.” Han Yutang laughed heartily.

After being reminded by that follower, he dared not openly confront Mu Hanyan, but witnessing Mu Hanyan suffer would allow him to vent some grievances.

”That’s all?” Wei Xiaotian cursed idiotically, playing these insignificant tricks without cause severe impact, just like children’s play. It’s a wonder Han Yutang came up with this.

”Isn’t this enough? Mu Hanyan dared to mess with my pills; see if I won’t pit them to death.” Han Yutang stared idiotically at Wei Xiaotian.

Wei Xiaotian then remembered Han Yutang was spoiled since childhood and still retained a childish nature. He collects pills like toys; to him, troubling Mu Hanyan over pills must be the greatest punishment.

”Nothing, I’ve some matters to attend to, need to find Elder Jin.” Wei Xiaotian said.

”Why are you looking for him?” Han Yutang asked curiously.

”I heard Sacred Pill Peak has a Cloud Dragon Nine Heavens Furnace, which refines exceptionally high-quality pills. I want to refine some pills myself to enhance my strength before heading to the North Abyss Misty Plain.” Wei Xiaotian said.

”Cloud Dragon Nine Heavens Furnace!” Han Yutang gasped and said, ”I heard that Cloud Dragon Nine Heavens Furnace has been poorly maintained and is incomplete. Although it can refine top-grade pills, a slight mishap may trigger the Nine Heavens Thunder. Even Elder Jin dares not use it lightly. Is your Alchemy Technique stronger than Elder Jin’s?”

”Is this true?” Wei Xiaotian asked in surprise.

”You didn’t know?” Han Yutang was even more surprised.

”You know most of the time I’m in seclusion. How would I know about this?” Wei Xiaotian smiled bitterly.

”Brother Wei, I advise you to honestly cultivate. Don’t harbor thoughts on the Cloud Dragon Nine Heavens Furnace, or you’ll harm yourself through clever tricks.” Han Yutang advised.

The enemy’s enemy is a friend; moreover, they both suffered greatly under Mu Hanyan. Considered comrades in adversity, Han Yutang felt particularly close to Wei Xiaotian.

”Alright then, thanks for the warning, Yutang Junior Brother. I’ll consider more carefully.” Wei Xiaotian turned and left.

Han Yutang didn’t move, his eyes rolled a few times, then suddenly turned and walked towards Sacred Pill Peak.

Behind him, Wei Xiaotian showed a cold smile. He didn’t know much about Alchemy; these words were originally meant for Han Yutang.

The Holy Court distributes pills once a month, on this day, the sons of the Guardian of the Gods from various countries on Holy Sword Peak were exceptionally jubilant, everyone got up early, and those in seclusion also came out.

Last time, the pills Mu Hanyan obtained from Han Yutang and others were shared among everyone. They experienced the extraordinary quality of the Holy Court pills. Even the same pills, those refined by Holy Court alchemists surpass those made by the best Alchemists from Continent Countries by several times.

It’s important to know the quality of pills, the grade of medicinal materials, the skill of the alchemist, the pill furnace, and the Heaven and Earth Rules of the refining location are directly related. It’s clear that Continent Countries cannot compare to the Holy Court.

Recently, cultivators from various countries made successive breakthroughs and advancements, attributed to the abundant pure Heaven and Earth Power on Holy Sword Peak and the Spirit Gathering Array set up by Mu Hanyan, but also attributed to the pills. Heaven and Earth Power, no matter how abundant, requires time to refine, but pills can be directly consumed to boost strength.

Mu Hanyan was somewhat expectant too. These days, she and Huayue tried using the Five Great Magical Instruments and sword moves to absorb others’ powers, significantly enhancing their strength. However, despite repeated attempts, they couldn’t succeed. Mu Hanyan only then realized that the method requires a certain opportunity, last time it was likely that everyone’s mental state focused on her, accidentally finding the opportunity, not something that can be casually used.

Mu Hanyan wasn’t too disappointed. Using external forces to temporarily boost combat power is ultimately a minor skill; increasing one’s strength is the true path, and the Holy Court’s pills are evidently another shortcut to enhance strength.

As dawn broke, everyone headed towards Sacred Pill Peak. Though they hadn’t left Holy Sword Peak these days, with Jian Wuchen’s guidance, Mu Hanyan remembered Holy Court’s terrain clearly, memorizing the positions of peaks and valleys.

Mu Hanyan walked while taking in the scenery along the way, others following behind her. Although excited, they didn’t make loud noises, occasionally talking but keeping their voices low. Unknowingly, they got accustomed to following Mu Hanyan, looking to her first. Although not yet trusting each other with lives, they were united, which greatly satisfied Nan Aotian.
