Chapter 1399 That figure
She looked up and saw a man in his twenties standing in front of a cave dwelling, staring at her.
Feng Jiu stepped forward. After catching a glimpse of an identity badge at his waist as well as an alchemist badge pinned to his chest, she saluted. “I have seen Elder Brother. I am here to deliver spirit herbs, but it is my first time to come up and I have no idea where Martial Uncle Shangguan’s cave is located.”
In this Pill Sun Sect, disciples addressed others with Senior Brother or Junior Brother regardless of their Alchemist rank. The only difference was that each peak leader must be called Patriarch and his disciples must be called Martial Uncles.
“You’re sending spirit herbs?” The man stared at Feng Jiu and sized her up for a while.”Isn’t this Junior Brother Guo’s task originally? Why’s the sudden change? ”
“It’s like this, Senior Brother Guo has to go down the mountain temporarily for business, so I’m sending the herbs to Martial Uncle Shangguan.”
The man nodded. “Mm, it’s your first time here. Don’t walk around, go straight on this path. The last cave is Shangguan’s cave dwelling.”
“Thanks so much, Senior Brother.” She thanked him with a smile.
The man took a look at Feng Jiu. “However, I just seem to see that Martial Uncle Shangguan was called by the patriarch’s attendant. Maybe she is not in her cave now. The cave has a boundary. Martial Uncle Shangguan didn’t accept an attendant at her side, so I guess you can’t get in.”
“Ah? Well!” She was startled for a moment, then showed a simple and honest smile. “It doesn’t matter. I will wait outside Martial Uncle Shangguan’s cave. Anyway, I have sent medicine to other places and have nothing urgent presently.”
The man coughed gently and his eyes flashed. “in fact, you can also leave the medicinal pill materials. I’ll take them to her for you when the Martial Uncle comes.”
When she heard his reply, Feng Jiu’s eyes moved slightly and she felt strange. However, only a simple and honest smile was shown on her face, pretending that she didn’t understand. “It’s all right. I’m free anyway. It’s my fault to let Senior Brother do my job and delay Senior Brother’s matter. Or, if Senior Brother Guo knows that I ask Senior Brother’s help, he will scold me.”
“This…” The man still tried to tell her again, but Feng Jiu interrupted him just when he started speaking.
“By the way, Senior Brother, which Martial Uncle’s cave is this?” She looked at the cave behind the man curiously. “It looks so big!”
“My master’s surname is Duan. He is the first disciple of the Third Sun Patriarch.” When saying this, some arrogance emerged in his glabella.
“It turns out to be Martial Uncle Duan’s cave. No wonder it’s so extraordinary.”
She immediately said with an admiring look, “I heard that among those below Third Sun Patriarch, Martial Uncle Duan’s alchemist rank is the highest. It’s really awesome! Since Senior Brother can worship Uncle Duan as his master, your alchemy talent must also be at the heaven’s proud son’s level. By the way, my name is Feng Jiu. I still don’t know, how should I address Senior Brother?”
When he heard Feng Jiu’s words, he was even more arrogant and even the corners of his mouth curved up. He glanced at Feng Jiu and coughed gently, then he said modestly. “Our Pill Sun Sect is the largest alchemist sect in the Eight Supreme Empires. There are many heaven’s proud sons in the sect. I can’t afford this title.”
With that, he paused a bit and continued, “If you see me later, just call me Senior Brother Hu.”
“Yes, Senior Brother Hu.”
She responded to him with a smile. Suddenly, the man in front of her had a surprised look in his eyes. He gazed obsessively at a certain place…
