I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?

After leaving the spiritual medicine haven, the three of them chose to traverse through the forest, concealing their movements due to the fear of being attacked by powerful forces associated with the man in the black robe.

Upon reaching the outskirts of a city, Xu Yan and Meng Chong wait outside while Meng Shushu, disguised, went into the city’s Tianbao Pavilion to purchase sealing medicine paper.

When Meng Shushu returned with the sealing medicine paper, they began sealing up the spiritual medicine. Once done, they set out back to the Great Yue Kingdom.

Along the way, a messenger bird landed.

The bird was from the Sword Master Cliff, arriving due to Xu Yan’s messenger bird token. In the messenger cylinder of the bird, was a letter from Xie Lingfeng, asking if help was needed.

Xu Yan replied with a letter, sending it back through the bird.

“Is this bird from Sword Master Cliff?”

Meng Shushu exclaimed in surprise.

“Oh, you recognize it?”

Xu Yan said in surprise.

“Senior Brother Xu may not know, spiritual medicine scouts like me are naturally familiar with the major forces and understand them well. If there is a need to cooperate, I may need to use their messenger birds, so naturally, I can recognize them.”

Meng Shushu explained.

“I see!”

Xu Yan finally understood.

“By the way, can you train messenger birds to build a messenger network?”

Xu Yan pondered for a moment before asking.

If they were to enter the inner domain, messenger birds, being a convenient method of communication, are absolutely essential. Relying on other people’s messenger birds is ultimately not a reliable method.

“I am a spiritual medicine scout, how could I know about such things?”

Meng Shushu frantically shook his head.

“Tianbao Pavilion provides a messenger bird rental service. Some forces, unable to establish their own network, rely on renting from Tianbao Pavilion, although it comes at a high price.

“Of course, you can also rent for single-use, temporary use. Up until now, there hasn’t been any leak of information regarding messenger birds from the Tianbao Pavilion.

“For general forces, it is quite guaranteed.”

Meng Shushu thought for a while and then added.

“This Tianbao Pavilion, really is not simple, involved in all kinds of business.”

Meng Chong said with a sigh.

Xu Yan took out the jade plate given by the lady in plain clothes and asked, “The Tianbao Pavilion you mentioned that rents messenger services, is it this?”

“Yes, your jade plate can only be used for receiving messages at the Tianbao Pavilion, it cannot receive messages from messenger birds. This type is relatively cheaper. Most forces use these, mainly for obtaining information from the martial arts world. Even so, the annual cost is over a hundred thousand spirit crystals.”

Meng Shushu nodded.

Xu Yan was secretly surprised. This Tianbao Pavilion is really impressive, a simple reception of information costs at least a hundred thousand spirit crystals annually. How many forces are there in the inner domain?

Just within the Great Yue Kingdom, there are already numerous forces, how many more would there be in areas not governed by the three major nations. Furthermore, those areas are also vast with numerous forces. As such, one can tell, Tianbao Pavilion didn’t need to invest their own money to establish the messenger network, all of it was funded by the major forces!

Upon entering the Great Yue Kingdom, Xu Yan heaved a sigh of relief as there were no grandmasters chasing after them.

It wasn’t because he was afraid of the grandmasters, but rather the fear that the fights would damage the Heavenly Droplet Marrow and the six pieces of rank six spiritual medicine. If that were to happen, killing any number of grandmasters wouldn’t compensate for the loss.

Rank five spiritual medicine is not something that can be bought!

“Junior Brother, for safety, I will escort you to Lanping County.”

Xu Yan told Meng Chong after some thought.

“Alright!”

Meng Chong nodded.

He was not afraid of grandmaster martial artists and they pose no threat to him, he could kill them with one slash and not worry about any damage being done to the spiritual medicine.

If a half-step grandmaster or even a grandmaster was to attack, it would be difficult.

The three headed straight for Lanping County.

Lanping County is located at the borderland, a great distance away from their location. To reach Lanping County and Iron Mountain County, it would take some time.

Besides, to avoid any accidents, Xu Yan tried to keep as low a profile as possible.

Killing a grandmaster is not urgent, protecting the spiritual medicine is the top priority.

“Brother Meng, Senior Brother Xu, I will hide out in Lanping County for now, until things die down before I continue my search for spiritual medicine. How should I contact you in the future?”

Just as they were about to enter Lanping County, Meng Shushu asked.

Xu Yan thought for a moment and said, “In the future, you can go to Iron Mountain County to contact me, or contact Xie Lingfeng and have him relay the message to me.”

Iron Mountain County is a place bordering the wastelands. Now that they’ve brought back the spiritual medicine to the wasteland, the number of martial artists in the wasteland would surely increase, and it’s only natural for them to enter the inner domain.

The first place those from the wasteland would settle down was naturally Iron Mountain County.

“I understand!”

Meng Shushu nodded.

“You’re doing great, strive to earn two storage pouches soon!”

Meng Chong patted his shoulder as encouragement.

“I’ll try my best.”

Meng Shushu wanted to cry, a storage pouch! How many spiritual medicines would he need to find to afford one?

Just as they stepped into the boundaries of Lanping County, Xu Yan suddenly halted, extending his arm to block Meng Chong and Meng Shushu. He stared ahead, his expression solemn.

A figure approached from the distance, step by step. Wherever he passed, the ground seemed as though it had been burned by fire, leaving behind only blackened dirt.

He was dressed in a red robe, wearing a headdress that hid his face. His complexion was pale, and he gripped a staff topped with a skull.

The black staff, topped with a skull, had red flames flickering in its eye sockets and mouth, emitting an immensely powerful aura.

A grandmaster!

Xu Yan took out the spiritual medicine he was carrying and handed it to Meng Chong, warning him, “Junior Brother, be careful.”

“Senior Brother, don’t worry..”
