Chapter 5152: Two drops of crocodile tears to show sympathy

Translator: 549690339

“Don’t say anymore! I know it’s none of your business. ” Zhan Tianhong said in a deep voice. Just as he finished speaking, he spat out another mouthful of blood.

He wasn’t angry with Zhan Xucheng, but thinking about what had happened today, he felt sulky. If Zhan Xucheng hadn’t brought it up, it would have been fine. He would have just endured it and it would have passed. But now that Zhan Xucheng had brought it up, he couldn’t hold it in anymore.

“Martial uncle.” Zhan Xucheng was shocked and quickly held onto Zhan Tianhong.

“Let’s go. Don’t mention today’s matter again,” Zhan Tianhong waved his hand and did not want to say anything more. He took the lead and walked towards the inn.

Looking at Zhan Tianhong’s desolate and slightly staggering back, two drops of crocodile tears fell from Ling Chuxi’s heart. She was full of sympathy. He kept spitting out blood from his nose, and he didn’t know if his body could take it.

“Young noble Ling, thank you very much. In order to cultivate the great pure Dao heart furnace, this old man has sought the help of countless blacksmiths, but none of them succeeded. I did not expect young noble Ling’s blacksmithing skills to be so exquisite. This old man has truly misjudged you previously. If I have been impolite in any way, I hope that young noble Ling can forgive me.” Xu Ziqing said gratefully to Ling Chuxi after Zhan Xucheng and the others had left.

Xu Ziqing said as he handed the Black Tortoise stone to Ling Chuxi.

“I was just lucky, senior Xu doesn’t need to be so polite.” Ling Chuxi took the Black Tortoise stone and said humbly.

“Young noble Ling, I can’t be called a senior. We have our own specialties, so let’s address each other as equals. If you think highly of me, you can just call me Alchemist Xu.” Xu Ziqing had always been modest. Now that he knew of Ling Chuxi’s refining skills, he would not consider himself an elder. His words clearly showed his intention to make friends.

Compared to the heaven domain, the venerable realm respected the strong, and the cultivators had longer lifespans. They didn’t care much about seniority, so elder Qiu and the others didn’t feel strange.

“Alright then, Alchemist Xu. If there’s nothing else, we’ll take our leave.” With the Black Tortoise stone in hand, Ling Chuxi still had many things to do and did not want to waste any more time here.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Wait a minute, I promised you that I would make a spiritual pill for you. I can’t go back on my word. Please take a seat, young master Ling.” Xu Ziqing said.

“You’re too kind, Alchemist Xu. I’m already satisfied with the Black Tortoise stone. How could I trouble you?” Ling Chuxi declined.

If she remembered correctly, Wu Zhiyi had said earlier that if she withdrew from the competition for the Black Tortoise stone, Xu Ziqing would specially refine a spirit pill for her. Could it be that Xu Ziqing had remembered wrongly?

She could see that Xu Ziqing had good intentions, but now that she had obtained the deviant spiritual fire, Ling Chuxi did not care for his spiritual pills anymore. Besides, if she wanted to refine it according to her body’s size, she would have to check her meridians and sea of Qi, and her disguise as a man would be exposed.

“No, no. I, Xu Ziqing, don’t make promises easily. But once I make a promise, I will never go back on it.” Xu Ziqing insisted.

“How about this? I still have something urgent to attend to. How about I visit master Xu another day?” Ling Chuxi saw that Xu Ziqing was insistent and did not want to reject his good intentions, so she decided to compromise.

Seeing Ling Chuxi’s refusal, elder Qiu and Qi Tian did not find it strange. They thought that with Ling Chuxi’s alchemy skills, she could just refine whatever spiritual pills she wanted. After all, the venerable realm lacked other things, but the luck Dao pill was not lacking. There was no need for her to owe anyone a favor.

Elder PU and Lu Weidong became anxious and quietly pulled on Ling Chuxi’s clothes from behind. Most of the time, the spiritual pills personally refined by Xu Ziqing could not be bought with money. Even if Ling Chuxi was not interested, she could give them to them.

Moreover, with Xu Ziqing’s status, he had taken the initiative to help someone refine pills but was rejected again and again. He had put his warm face on the cold shoulder. He must be very unhappy in his heart. If she angered him and they parted on bad terms, it would not be good for Ling Chuxi at all.
