148: Chapter 148 Rescue

Mo River Lower Section.

Chen Changqing was refining the meta-magnetic stones he had previously extracted into a Flying Sword.

Over the past few days, many things had happened in the outside world, but for him, who was deep beneath Mo River, most of them had nothing to do with him, and he currently had no major matters either; his grandfather should be helping bring news within the clan, so there shouldn't be any major problems.

After a day's time, he successfully refined two Flying Swords.

The remaining Materials could still be used to refine four more Flying Swords. Of course, it was not to say that these Materials were only enough to refine six Flying Swords, but rather that he had also factored in the consumed Materials.

His success rate in refining Second Grade High Grade Magical Artifacts was only sixty percent. That is to say, two hundred catties of meta-magnetic stone were actually enough to refine ten Flying Swords, but he could only refine six.

However, having these six Flying Swords form a complete set of Magical Artifacts was already enough for him. A complete set of Magical Artifacts was inherently much more powerful than a single Magical Artifact, and it was a Magical Artifact refined using meta-magnetic ore as Materials. Regardless of its might or its suppression effect on Cultivators, even if it couldn't compare to a Third Grade Magical Artifact, it was definitely not something an ordinary Second Grade Magical Artifact could match.

Furthermore, he still had eighty thousand catties of meta-magnetic ore in his hands. If all these Ores were refined into Flying Swords, there would be a full thirty Flying Swords. Coupled with his own strength, dealing with a Purple Mansion Master would give him even more certainty.

With these thoughts in mind, Chen Changqing continued refining.

Above Mo River, a Purple Mansion Master was wandering around. He was a newly dispatched Purple Mansion Master from the Yuxu Sect. All the Cultivators previously in charge of the Zifu Secret Realm were currently under investigation without exception, including Junior Brother Yang Zhan and others.

His purpose for coming here this time was to find a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. Originally, he didn't really want to come; after all, making such a big fuss over an unrelated Foundation Establishment Cultivator made him lose some Face.

However, when the Sect demanded that he must rescue all Foundation Establishment Cultivators still in the Zifu Secret Realm, he felt somewhat dissatisfied, but there was no help for it—matters arranged by the Sect had to be accomplished.

Originally, he planned to take it one step at a time, but yesterday Senior Sister Baiye personally sought him out and demanded that he must rescue Chen Changqing.

"What the hell?"

How would he know who Chen Changqing was? The crucial point was that Senior Sister Baiye attached so much importance to it. Could it be...?

The more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed. He hadn't expected that his own Senior Sister, having been single for so many years, was actually keeping a kept man behind her back.

Thinking this, he unconsciously arrived above Mo River.

"This is the place where that kept man is trapped," Mu He said, frowning.

He had just sensed the aura of a Third Grade Yao Beast below, and it was very strong.

Yet just as he sensed it, another thought popped into his mind: how could a Foundation Establishment Cultivator evade the pursuit of a Third Grade Yao Beast?

The crucial point was that it was a powerful Yao Beast like the Abyss Demon Fish.

He had also come up from being a Foundation Establishment Cultivator in the past, and now he was a Cultivator who had reached the Purple Mansion Realm. How could he not know the gap between the two Realms? That kind of gap was simply not something a mere Foundation Establishment Cultivator could cross.

Therefore, he became somewhat interested in that Chen Changqing. Could a Foundation Establishment Cultivator escaping the pursuit of a Third Grade Yao Beast be due to using some sort of treasure?

Ceasing his wandering thoughts, he turned his mind to thinking about how to rescue the Foundation Establishment Cultivator below. For a Yao Beast like the Abyss Demon Fish, in the water, it was completely beyond his ability to contend with, so he had to lure it out of the water surface.

As for what method to use, he had already figured it out.

Mu He took out a communication talisman and notified his Senior/Junior Brothers closest to him within the Secret Realm.

The next day.

Another Purple Mansion Master arrived at this place.

"Senior Brother Mu, you said the Foundation Establishment junior that Senior Sister Baiye specifically named for rescue is right below," Zhang Xing said.

"Junior Brother, you also know that Senior Sister has always been extremely protective of her own people. If the two of us fail to bring back the junior below, when we go back you know..." Mu He stopped halfway through his words, revealing an expression of 'those who understand, understand.'

Zhang Xing glanced at him and said helplessly, "Then Senior Brother, what is your business looking for me?"

Mu He simply reached out and pointed below, then said somewhat lazily, "Junior Brother, you also know that down below, that Abyss Demon Fish is inhabiting this place, and that junior is currently trapped down below."

"Mn, and then? Senior Brother, you wouldn't want me to go down and lure that Abyss Demon Fish up, would you?" Zhang Xing showed an uncertain expression.

"Otherwise, why else would Senior Brother look for you?" Mu He said with a smile.

"Senior Brother, how can you pit your Junior Brother like this? You aren't unaware of how strong that Abyss Demon Fish is."

"I know! Precisely because I know, I am only asking you to go attract it, not asking you to assist me in dealing with it," Mu He said very seriously.

"Wait, Senior Brother, why do I feel like I've been led in circles by you? Wouldn't it be even better if you went to attract its attention while I went to rescue that junior?" Zhang Xing's gaze was filled with scrutiny; he suspected that his Senior Brother hadn't thought of this matter at all.

The two of them had studied under the same Master for many years, so who didn't know who? His Senior Brother usually disliked thinking about things the most, and never managed the affairs within the Sect either. Every day consisted of nothing but playing and having fun, making him the most bizarre existence among their generation.

"Uh..., isn't Senior Brother testing whether your brain has improved a bit over these years apart from Cultivating, lest you go out to travel in the future and get deceived by others without even knowing it."

"Putting it that way, I should still thank Senior Brother, huh."

"Haha, that won't be necessary. Senior Brother is simply deeply gratified to see Junior Brother make progress, and Master's spirit in heaven must also be very gratified."

"Senior Brother, if Master heard these words of yours, he'd probably be so angry he'd crawl straight out of his grave."

"Alright, alright, Junior Brother, I'll go down to attract it, and you'll be responsible for rescuing that junior." Mu He gave a haha laugh, and then with a splash, went down.

Zhang Xing followed closely behind.

After a while, the two of them saw the Abyss Demon Fish resting on a reef.

Mu He and Zhang Xing exchanged a glance, and Zhang Xing silently retreated to the side.

Mu He raised his hand and executed a Lightning spell.

Boom!

Purple lightning instantly struck the resting Abyss Demon Fish, directly roasting a region of its Physical Body until it was tender.

Roar!

The Abyss Demon Fish let out a cry of pain, turned its head to look in the direction of the attack, let out an angry roar, and charged towards Mu He.

Seeing this, Mu He gave a wink to Zhang Xing who was hiding to the side, turned around and ran immediately, with the Abyss Demon Fish closely pursuing him.

As for Zhang Xing hiding to the side, after receiving the hint, he took this opportunity to swiftly dash toward that cave. As for why he knew Chen Changqing was here—needless to think—that Abyss Demon Fish had been staying here all along for only one reason: that Foundation Establishment junior was hiding here.

Inside the cave, Chen Changqing had just successfully refined another Flying Sword and was planning to rest for a while when suddenly a loud roar of thunder and lightning echoed from outside, along with the screaming sound of the Abyss Demon Fish.

Joy immediately appeared on his Face; presumably, the Purple Mansion Master of the Yuxu Sect had arrived.
