Chapter 6: Can Master Give Me Anything I Want? (1/2)

After throwing his little disciple up high another seven to eight times, Mu Chen felt helpless that his little disciple had such little courage. He was holding onto Mu Chen’s neck tightly, so Mu Chen placed him back down on the ground, planning to slowly build his courage up in the future.

In that moment, some things from his storage ring fell out and crashed onto the ground. Mu Chen had planned to place a couple of spirit spells in his disciple’s room. It didn’t matter how much Mu Chen pampered him, his disciple could not be lazy. He still needed to practice his cultivation.

Gu Yunjue watched as his Master dumped an abundant amount of high quality spirit stones onto the ground as if they were trash. Mu Chen dug through the spirit stones on the ground and picked out a dozen of the biggest ones. He then placed them to the side as he placed the remaining stones back into his storage ring. Gu Yunjue was amused by his Master’s actions. They way his Master worked was so cute. His actions were so simple and frank. No one had to worry about his Master scheming against them.

“Master, where did you get these spirit stones?”

Mu Chen thought about Gu Yunjue’s question for a bit. However, he was unable to think of a response that he could finish in a sentence. .

Jing Ming hurriedly helped him to explain, “It’s obviously from exchanging pills. In the east storeroom, the entire first floor is filled with them. Since it takes up too much space, we didn’t put any of them in the treasury. My Elder Brother has the key, so you can ask him for however much you want. If it’s still not enough, then you can ask Palace Master.” .”

Mu Chen nodded, “There are also a few spirit mines in your master’s hands.”

Gu Yunjue: “……”

His Master was so capable. How could he support him? Gu Yunjue didn’t know the reason why, but the pressure that he felt suddenly grew larger.

After a magical spell was arranged, the spiritual qi of the room became much richer. Yanyang Palace was established over a spirit vein, Mu Chen’s room was located in the area where the spirit veins crossed each other more than the other areas. With the spell laid down, the layer of the spiritual qi steadily condensed into a white fog beneath their feet.

“If you can’t build your foundation before you turn twelve, then I will throw you into the mountains in the back,” Mu Chen raised his eyes and looked at Gu Yunjue in an attempt to scare him, “To feed the magical beasts.” It was almost a millennium ago when the most talented cultivator had built his foundation at the age of twelve. Mu Chen’s request could be seen as harsh. However, he believed that his disciple’s talent was inevitable. As long as his disciple had a goal, then he would be sure to reach it. There was no other reason behind Mu Chen’s request.

Jing Ting and Jing Ming were both standing at the entrance, waiting for any orders. They both held complicated expressions on their faces when they heard Mu Chen mention the mountains in the back. Jing Ming gave Gu Yunjue a meaningful look.

“There’s a tabby monster that resides in the mountains behind this place. You can’t provoke it (Rebude)!”

Since Mu Chen was an alchemist, he liked to run around looking for spiritual medicine. At the same time, he would pick up many strange spirit beasts, demon beasts, and magical beasts. As long as it was furry, he would take it and throw it into the mountains in the back to raise it.

The one that was now number one and had become the boss of the spiritual beasts was a large black-colored demonic bird. At a young age, it resembled a furry ball. However, once it grew up, it turned into a fat duck that could fly. Its name was Rebude, which otherwise meant ‘Do not provoke.’ Its favorite thing to do was to talk and bluff about itself. Whenever Jing Ting and Jing Ming made a mistake, they were not taken out and exchanged by Mu Chen like the other sect disciples were. Since Mu Chen was too lazy to educate them, he would instead throw them into the mountains with the fat duck. They would then be forced to listen to its husky voice that would constantly talk without rest. It could talk bull about itself for ten days to half a month. After this happened a few times, Mu Chen felt that this method of punishment was very effective and was worth promoting. Whenever anyone mentioned conversing with a bird, the expression on the faces of everyone in Yanyang Palace would change.

Gu Yunjue already knew about that bird who was picked up by his little Master. He also knew that the meat of that bird tasted awful. Of course, he hadn’t killed that duck. Instead, the mixed fluffy bird kept talking about how it was an ancient mythological bird that landed into the God Realm by accident. Gu Yunjue made a bet with it, and Rebude ended up losing that bet. As punishment, it tearfully chopped off its wing and held it out to Gu Yunjue. Unexpectedly, a new wing grew out and replaced the old one.

In the past, Gu Yunjue had taken the mixed fluffy bird’s wing and cooked it in front of the bird. He even kindly offered half of it to the other. Once Mu Chen had found out about this matter, Gu Yunjue was forced into seclusion for a year. This had been the first time that his Master had punished him. When compared with all of the punishments he had suffered through before, this small punishment was gentle enough to charm others.

However, that bird really was some kind of an ancient mythological creature. His Master always seemed to pick up things that had strange bloodlines. It wasn’t only Jing Ting and Jing Ming, who were two demon beasts who could turn into human form, even an Abyss Demon Three Legged Golden Crow could be picked up by him. Gu Yunjue couldn’t help but be curious about the reason why Mu Chen’s body attracted so many mythological creatures. In the previous life, Mu Chen was locked up in the Spirit Suppression Pagoda. Did Mu Chen get locked up because he was involved with him? Or perhaps there was another reason? He did not know the answer to this question, and Mu Chen was not likely to tell him the reason. The only thing he could do was slowly investigate this matter himself.

After being immersed in his memories, Gu Yunjue held a deep expression on his face as he said, “Five years…. I will build my foundation in five years.”

“Pfft!” Jing Ming could not bear it anymore and let out a laugh. Mu Chen’s eyes also held a smile in them. A little disciple that resembled a bun with his hands clasped behind his back who was pretending to be profound was really too adorable.

“Did you just smile, Master?” After noticing the minute change in Mu Chen’s expression, Gu Yunjue held onto Mu Chen’s thighs and carefully looked at him. He then sincerely praised him, “Master must look beautiful when he smiles.”

Mu Chen frowned. This was the first time that he heard someone praise him as beautiful. However, his little disciple’s expression was clear. It looked so clear that it looked as if it was free of any impurities. Mu Chen felt helpless as he rubbed Gu Yunjue’s head. “How could you use that word to describe a man? Once you’ve finished practicing your martial arts and writing, then you will also memorize fifty proverbs everyday. If you can’t finish memorizing them, then you will kneel down as punishment.”

Gu Yunjue smiled and nodded his head. Whatever his Master says goes.

Mu Chen rubbed his head for a while longer. He really felt that such an obedient disciple made others happy. After rubbing his head, Mu Chen took out his storage ring from where hundreds of other storage rings fell out of it. He had also received the storage rings from exchanging pills. They all crashed onto the ground in a pile.

“Which one do you want?” Mu Chen asked Gu Yunjue.

“Can your disciple take anything that I like? Or is it that whatever I like, Master will give it all to me?” Gu Yunjue climbed on top Mu Chen’s thighs after noticing that his Master sat down without being pressured to. While sitting in Mu Chen’s embrace, he pressed his small back closely against his Master’s chest and felt that warmth of it. His pale lips curved up into a satisfied smile. He tilted his head to look up at Mu Chen’s remarkably good-looking face. Gu Yunjue’s eyes unexpectedly carried a trace of seriousness in them.

storage rings were not easy to forge. After all, you needed to create a large space within a tiny ring. The value of these rings were especially high. Ordinary cultivators used space bags and storage bracelets. However, his little Master had taken out many storage rings and allowed a five year old to choose one from them. Master really was completely devoted to his disciple.
