Chapter 205: Chapter 101: The Weather Today is Good [Two-in-One, Thanks to "Home Dish’s" Second Silver Alliance!] _2

"Huh?" Chu Liang was puzzled.

He thought about it, his Master practiced Body Cultivation Dao—a rare path, and perhaps no one on Shu Mountain could teach her that. But even without teaching, there should still be a formality of the master-disciple relationship...

The background of Empress Feng seemed somewhat mysterious. Chu Liang had been curious and asked some questions before, but her answers were always elusive.

Thinking of Master being able to use the Samadhi Divine Fire, it might have something to do with the Imperial Family, and it made sense to keep it somewhat confidential.

"In any case, I grew up under her guidance." Empress Feng said, "The reason why I took over Silver Sword Peak was to separate from her and establish my independence."

So, that was the reason.

These things from decades ago were naturally unknown to Chu Liang. Listening to them now, the Law Enforcement Elder was at least the guardian figure for Empress Feng.

No wonder she was able to grow so domineering and unrestrained on Shu Mountain, it turned out she and the Law Enforcement Elder were in the same boat!

Even if the Law Enforcement Elder was stern and impartial, dealing with Empress Feng fairly when she broke the rules, those who had a quarrel with her had to be careful, considering the law enforcer and the law breaker were in the same family.

No wonder she had worried that the young cub could take away her status as the bane of Shu Mountain.

Perhaps in the eyes of the seventy-year-old Empress Feng looking at Chen Lingtong, she saw her own seven-year-old shadow...

Since Master did not wish to say much, Chu Liang did not ask more, instead turning his attention to feeding the Golden Fur Beast elixir.

From this visit to the Pill Furnace Hall, they had managed to get an Advancement Spirit Pill. This elixir was taken by spirit beasts, and could potentially help mature spirit beasts to break through to a new realm rapidly.

It was extremely precious.

Creations like the immature Baize Cubs naturally reached the Seventh Realm, and possibly even as high as the Eighth Realm as they matured. They don’t need to be fed the Advancement Spirit Pill.

For mature beasts like the Golden Fur Beast, which do not have much hope of promotion, and even if they could naturally promote it may take hundreds to thousands of years, the Advancement Spirit Pill is of great necessity.

Feeding the Golden Fur Beast was of no difficulty. Just put anything edible near its mouth, and even if it was asleep, it would close its eyes, stick out its long tongue, and swallow the food.

Especially now when it was full of spirits.

However, soon after eating the Advancement Spirit Pill, the Golden Fur Beast began to seem somewhat confused. This elixir was not effective immediately upon being eaten but had to go through a fairly long digestion process.

In the days to come, it might be in a drowsy, hibernation-like state.

However, once it fully digests the Advancement Spirit Pill, Silver Sword Peak will have a Sixth Realm Spirit Beast!

Chu Liang was thrilled with the thought, the Sixth Realm!

Normally speaking, at least a powerful being in the Seventh Realm could subdue such a beast as a mount. So in the future, he would have such a majestic scene!

He stroked the Golden Fur Beast’s big head.

Getting beat up this time was worth it.

...

The next afternoon, Chu Liang summoned the Mountain God Sacrifice Team. The three small members from Yunyao Peak arrived first, followed by Lin Bei.

"Big brother! You called us over, do you have any clues?" Shang Ziliang asked excitedly.

"Actually, I had it for a while, but I was worried that you might unintentionally leak it, so I didn’t tell you." Chu Liang said with a smile, "Now that the time is approaching, let’s go and check it out."

"Ah? So you knew all along, big brother." Shang Ziliang’s face changed slightly, and he appeared to be upset that Chu Liang did not fully trust him. Then he turned to Lin Bei and asked, "Did he tell you?"

Lin Bei shook his head, "No."

Only then did Shang Ziliang’s smile return to his face.

It wasn’t long before Chu Liang led them to Red Cotton Peak.

Behind the deserted streets of Red Cotton Market, lay an abandoned altar.

In ancient times, it was the place to worship the god of Shu Mountain, which had gradually been abandoned over the long years. Later, it was chosen as the sect entrance by the Shu Mountain Sect.

A ruined outdoor stone altar covered a broad area, circled by various standing pillars, most of which had fallen and were damaged, with only a small part remaining intact.

Chu Liang led them to a relatively secluded spot and asked them to sit in a circle.

"Why are we here?" Shang Ziliang asked.

"The clue from before was actually just a simple word puzzle." Chu Liang finally explained to them.

"A Word Puzzle?"

"’Twelfth-and-a-half month’ simply refers to June."

"’Peak of the Grain Mountain’, the character for grain, if looked from above, is an eight."

"’Right of the Jinlin River’, if you take the right half of the characters for Jin and Lin, you get the character for cotton."

"’The Mountain God appears...’." Chu Liang broke it down step by step, and finally said, "Naturally, I thought of the Mountain God Altar on the top of Red Cotton Peak."

"So, ’June 8’ means that something unusual will happen on this Mountain God Altar tonight?" Lin Bei understood suddenly, "No wonder the time and location from before were so obscure; it turns out they all have a deeper meaning. You are too amazing!"

The "Twelfth-and-a-half month" from the already concluded Shu Mountain Peak Conference and the unknown "Jinlin River" had indeed stumped many of the disciples of Shu Mountain. Now that they heard Chu Liang’s explanation, their minds became clear.

Compared to the direct clues from previous rounds, this was simply a detour and not too difficult," Chu Liang laughed, "I believe you all could get there by pondering."

True enough, these clues were not difficult to decipher as long as one could make the connection. The difficulty was probably getting the disciples out of their fixed mindset, given that the times and locations of previous stages were given directly.
