My Master Disconnected Yet Again

“Supremacy Yi Qing, I really need these few stems of spirit herbs, could you… ah? Ah!” Tian Yi who was begging like he was making his last desperate struggles widened his eyes abruptly, a look of disbelief. “You… you’ve agreed?!”

“Settle the details with Fa… with him!” He pointed to Lonemoon, then picked up the already empty pastry plate on the table and turned to return to the kitchen to wash dishes.

“Sure sure sure!” Tian Yi looked like he had won a big prize and nodded continuously, his mind filled with joy that he was able to receive rare high level spirit herbs, even his gaze when he looked at Lonemoon was shining.

“Supremacy Tian Yi, why don’t we head directly to the fields at the foot of the mountain, we can talk as we go?” He took two steps forward and pointed forward.

“That would be great!” Tian Yi naturally wanted to return to the foot of the mountain more than anyone else, he even became more courteous to Lonemoon. “Thank you, Brother!” He did not forget that it was thanks to his interceding that the sword cultivator named Yi Qing agreed to the sale. This showed that he was rather important to that person, though he was only a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it was still important to be on good terms.

“You’re too polite Supremacy!” Lonemoon returned the bow immediately, then stepped to the side to show the way. “Supremacy, this way, please!”

Hence the two headed down the mountain. In moments, the entire place only had Shen Ying who was sprawled out on the table like mud eating her fruit and half dead Two-Bucks Zuo who had yet to catch his breath.

Zuo Shuming silently peeped in the direction where Lonemoon disappeared in, his mind that was blank for a long time finally came back to its senses. Did Brother Lonemoon have something to attend to that brought him out?

That’s wonderful!

He could finally rest for a while, finally no more endless beatings for the entire day, he instantly had the urge to cry, it was great to be alive! His body relaxed at once as he exhaled deeply, but before he finished, a figure appeared before him and an even larger sword appeared.

Supremacy Yi Qing suddenly appeared by his side, glanced at him, then pulled out the spirit sword beside him. “Fa… Lonemoon instructed that I will practice with you this afternoon! Get up, strike!”

Zuo Shuming: “…” Are all of you devils?

Once his words fell, an astonishing aura blasted and threw him into the air. In moments, his entire body was like a fallen leaf blown by the wind, rolling and rolling and rolling on the ground…

——————

“Little Brother, may I know what the Supremacy likes?” Taking the chance of going down the mountain, Tian Yi could not help but ask for information about Yi Qing from Lonemoon. Who knows, if he manages to build a good relationship, he might be able to continue buying spirit herbs here in the future.

Lonemoon’s eyes circled as he thought for awhile before replying, “Replying to Supremacy, actually… for someone whose cultivation is already at such a level like my Supremacy and is even a sword cultivator, rarely anything in the world can make him interested now.”

“Oh.” Tian Yi frowned, that makes things a little troublesome then.

“But… he does have an interest!” Lonemoon’s tuned changed, seeing the delight on the other party’s face, he then said, “My Supremacy is more special, he doesn’t like anything else, only have a sole fondness for spirit stones.”

“…” What a unique interest! Who doesn’t like spirit stones!

But it was good that he liked spirit stones too, as a level nine alchemist, the one thing he wasn’t lacking in was spirit stones. This probably also meant that, as long as he could afford the price, he could continue to purchase spirit herbs.

He instantly felt assured, even his gaze as he looked towards Lonemoon became friendlier, at the thought of something, he directly pulled out a level three top grade artifact and handed it over. “Many thanks for your direction, this spirit sword here is just right for you, please accept it.”

Lonemoon took a glance at that level three artifact but did not take it, instead, he asked directly, “Can this be exchanged into spirit stones?”

Tian Yi: “…” Was everyone taught by the sword cultivator all like this? His mouth twitched and he could only bring out a small bag of spirit stones.

“Thank you Supremacy!” Lonemoon took it very straightforwardly, then seeming to be reminded of something a moment later, he lowered his voice and said mysteriously, “Supremacy, to be honest, my Supremacy actually does not know any pill refining techniques, these fields of spirit herbs are also a waste just left like this. You were just unlucky and happened to meet my Supremacy when he was in a bad mood, that was why he kept refusing to sell it to you. If you are sincere in buying, when he’s in a better mood a few days later, I can put in a word for you. In time, if you need spirit herbs from this mountain, as long as you have spirit stones, anything can be negotiated.

Tian Yi was instantly overjoyed and grabbed his hand. “Are your words for real!”

“Of course it is!”

“That’s great!” He was so agitated that his entire being was shaking, he’d initially thought that getting three stems was good enough, he didn’t expect to have the chance to buy more. His gaze shone brightly when he looked at Lonemoon, looking as if he wanted to become sworn brothers with him immediately. “If you really succeed, for anything that you need help with in the future, I will not hesitate to lend a hand!”

“No worries no worries.” Lonemoon’s smile became even friendlier, his eyes were almost turning into a slit. “Come, let us first talk about the price.”

“I’d have to trouble you for everything then.”

Two hours later.

Tian Yi carefully held three stems of high-level spirit herbs, an empty storage bag hanging from his pouch as he returned to Dan Xia Mountain with a grin so wide as if he had won the top prize. Once he stepped in, he ordered his personal disciple, “Quick, prepare the alchemy room, I want to begin refining neonate formation pills immediately!”

“Neonate formation pill!” That disciple was shocked too. “Master, you found the Splendor Lingzhi!”

“Not only the Splendor Lingzhi!” Tian Yi grinned so widely. “Get moving, this Lingzhi has just been dug out, don’t delay the hour!”

“Yes!” The disciple nodded hurriedly and was about to go prepare.

Tian Yi was then reminded of another matter. “Hold on, also go notify Tian Yan Sect to come collect the three Neonate formation pills they asked me three years ago in two weeks time with spirit stones?” One pot could make at least ten pills, he could still afford to give three away.

The disciple nodded.

“Also!” Tian Yi thought for a moment then instructed solemnly, “The deposit that Tian Yan Sect gave the previous time, take it all and send it to the floating peak above, hand to it a young friend named Lonemoon. Bear in mind that the amount cannot be wrong, got it?”

“Yes, Master.” The disciple then walked out.

He had come to an agreement with Lonemoon, he would help him to mediate with that Supremacy Yi Qing to get him to sell his spirit herbs. He was so kind to help him, as a Soul Formation cultivator, he naturally couldn’t take his favor for nothing. He was initially still thinking for ways to repay him but Lonemoon unexpectedly suggested for him to give him 3% of his earnings made from selling the pills refined using the spirit herbs.

At this point, Tian Yi could not help but sigh, a mere Foundation Establishment disciple, did not ask for technique books or artifacts, only asked for a bit of spirit stones. It must be because he did not want to put him in a difficult spot. Such a great person, his judgment was right indeed.

Supremacy Tian Yi who sees spirit stones as muck and only had his heart on refining pills expresses that, even if the other party’s cultivation level is low, he is set on being friends with him. Whoever bullies him in the future would be going against Tian Yi himself!

****

On top of the tallest floating peak.

Ah choo!

Lonemoon who easily made another big sum rubbed his nose, vaguely feeling a chill on his back, hmm, who was talking about him?

“Father Niu, funds for supper!” Shen Ying boldly stretched out her neet ¹ claw!

“I got it! When have I not given you your share!” Lonemoon then pulled out a bag of spirit stones and handed it over. Looking around, he asked, “Where’s Chef?”

“Went grocery shopping.” Shen Ying stuffed the spirit stones into her bag.

“Oh.” Lonemoon nodded, he was about to enter the room when he suddenly that something was missing. Giving the courtyard another glance, it then came to his mind. “How about Two-Bucks Zuo?”

“Hanging there!” Shen Ying pointed.

Hanging?

Lonemoon subconsciously looked over, following the direction of her finger and saw that on the huge tree opposite, a piece of human shape cured meat hung from the branches high above, swaying lightly in the wind. Only the whites of his eyes could be seen as he completely passed out. And from the roots of the tree, lots and lots of spirit swords were stuck into it, the one right at the top was snug beside Two-Bucks Zuo’s buttocks, as if it was an inch askew, he wouldn’t be hanging on the tree but nailed to it.

Lonemoon: “…”

What happened to the training with him? How was this accompanied training, this was obviously a one-sided beating up?
