Chapter 37: A New Medicine Valley, 5 Years Later
"Well, young hero?" asked Core Elder Ye Xuan, still beaming. "What is it that you want? Cultivation resources? A promotion? Anything is fine—"
"A Medicine Valley," said Zar, bringing the room to silence.
Valley Master Yu frowned.
But before she got any grumpier, Zar continued, "Don’t get me wrong. I don’t want to leave Azure Medicine Valley, I just want one close by that I can care for in the name of my Master. Perhaps a Teleportation Array could be set up that connects the two Medicine Valleys? Sorry, I just really enjoy farming, you see..."
Valley Master Yu’s frown transformed into a relieved smile. Getting her all worried for nothing; was her Disciple trying to give her a heart attack??
But then a comforting sensation surged from within her heart.
’Is he thinking that, by doing this, he’ll improve my standing within the Sect? How needlessly nice...’
Her fondness for Zar skyrocketed, and she thought about giving him a Martial Technique when they returned to Azure Medicine Valley.
"A Medicine Valley, huh?" Core Elder Ye Xuan instantly looked at Valley Master Yu, but after receiving a slight head nod, he went back to smiling at Zar. "If that’s really all you want, then I’ll naturally fulfill your request! But considering how lackluster a reward that is, why don’t I send high-rank seeds and a Growth-Accelerant Array your way?? Then you can farm the good stuff for as long as you want, haha!"
Normally, Core Elder Ye Xuan was not so enthusiastic or outspoken, but today was a truly good day.
A Holy Mark Wielder — what sort of crazy good luck was it to find someone like that in an Outer Sect Branch!?
