Chapter 1446: Chapter 1447: Nine-Turning Soul Departure Soup

The old man nodded at Su Chengyu appreciatively upon hearing his words, then stepped aside, signaling that Su Chengyu could come forward to offer his condolences.

The mourning ritual of the Bei Tang Clan was not complicated; it was even somewhat simple. However, Su Chengyu, who never cared much for such formalities, saw no issue with it.

Following the procedure just mentioned by the elder, he properly walked through it and then inserted a stick of incense that had already burned down by a third into the incense burner.

After bowing three times, Su Chengyu finally left the center of the memorial hall, planning to wait here for Bei Tang Qian Xiao’s return.

The old man, noticing that Su Chengyu had finished his condolences, turned to make conversation: "Did the young master come back with Miss Qianxiao?"

Su Chengyu nodded: "Qianxiao and I are old acquaintances; I knew her even earlier than the Dream Entering Elder."

Not to mention their prior connection because of the Earth Core Lotus, the two who fought side by side in the Kunwu Realm were truly comrades in arms against common foes.

"Although Miss Qianxiao is straightforward, she has high standards. A person recognized by Miss must certainly be outstanding."

"You flatter me, I am just a countryman who had some luck in walking the path of cultivation."

"Heh, not everyone in this world can have good luck. For instance, an old man like me, can only stay in the Bei Tang family as a mere guard."

"Old uncle..."

Seeing that Su Chengyu seemed about to offer some comforting words, the old man quickly spoke: "Let’s not talk about that; venting such grievances to the younger generation like you isn’t really appropriate, it’s just involuntary."

"No worries, advice from elders is always enlightening."

Su Chengyu’s response seemed to please the old man, who after taking a few more glances at Su Chengyu, teasingly asked: "You have known Miss Qianxiao for a long time, have you not developed any other feelings towards her?"

These words made Su Chengyu serious again, and he hurriedly responded: "Old uncle, please don’t misunderstand, there’s absolutely no romantic involvement between Qianxiao and me! We are comrades-in-arms."

"Don’t rush, don’t rush. There’s always room to develop feelings. Not to boast about our Bei Tang Clan, but in the North Five Provinces, the suitors for Miss Qianxiao could fill the entire Qinling."

Su Chengyu laughed awkwardly: "Qianxiao indeed is a charming woman, but old uncle, my heart already belongs to another."

"That’s truly a pity then," the old man replied with a somewhat disappointed look.

He then casually cast his gaze over Su Chengyu, making Su Chengyu feel uneasy.

"Little Shi, this old uncle isn’t ordinary, right? Has he concealed his aura?"

"Oh? Remembering me now? When you were in Bei Luo, why didn’t you think to pick a few more Magic Artifacts for me?"

Su Chengyu helplessly said: "Two King-grade Divine Artifacts weren’t few; I took three Blood Ruyis and a whole set of Illusory Poison Needles from them, taking more really wouldn’t have been appropriate."

"Hmph! That was just you lining your own pockets; I put in so much effort."

"Alright, I promise you, when I return to the capital, I’ll definitely find another Extreme Artifact or higher grade Magic Artifact for you to devour."

"That’s more like it."

Su Chengyu finally breathed a sigh of relief. After officially becoming a Saint Envoy, one could choose an Extreme Artifact-level Magic Artifact for personal protection.

As for himself, he was not in need of Magic Artifacts, so he had long planned to use the selected item for the recovery of the Heaven-Mending Stone, though he hadn’t told the Heaven-Mending Stone directly.

"You guessed it right, this guy indeed has hidden his aura, and he has hidden it exceedingly well. Had I not stealthily tested your strength just now and infiltrated your Sea of Consciousness with a thread of Divine Sense, I wouldn’t have noticed any clue."

"What realm?"

Su Chengyu continued to inquire.

"Nonsense, with your current Eye Power, to be able to disguise so perfectly in front of you, what realm do you think he is?"

Land Immortal.

Su Chengyu inwardly took a cold breath as he found the answer.

The Four-sided family was able to stand firm in Xia Country because among them, there existed Land Immortals.

The Bei Tang Clan suffered the most during the war a hundred years ago among the Four-sided family, yet the name Bei Tang Xiong Tian was absolutely the most well-known one.

Without him, during the war a hundred years ago, when the Northeastern Four Provinces were nearly lost, it was Bei Tang Xiong Tian who led the prime forces of the Bei Tang Clan to fight a fierce battle with the Demon Clan for more than three months.

In that war, Bei Tang Xiong Tian did not die and guarded at the Desert River while water ran dry and rocks crumbled, Bei Tang Xiong Tian never retreated a single step.

Repelling three Demon Gods and directly slaying one on the Desert River, Bei Tang Xiong Tian became a nationally known hero of Xia Country after that battle.

After that war, the Bei Tang Clan was severely weakened, and the Demonic Path took the opportunity to intervene, making the Bei Tang Clan the one that suffered the most among the Four-sided family.

Although Bei Tang Xiong Tian did not die, he had never publicly appeared before the world since then, nor had he any recorded confrontations with enemies of Land Immortal Realm.

It was a well-known fact throughout Xia Country that he had an internal injury.

"Boy, you’ve guessed my identity, haven’t you?"

Bei Tang Xiong Tian looked at Su Chengyu who suddenly fell silent, lips curling as he directly unveiled the secret.

Su Chengyu hurriedly stood up upon hearing this, cupped his hands and said: "Junior Su Chengyu pays respect to Elder Bei Tang, having just realized Elder Bei Tang’s identity, there were earlier disrespect, please forgive my ignorance."

"Disrespect? Oh, indeed quite disrespectful. I kindly introduced my own granddaughter to you, yet you actually refused me, not taking my Bei Tang family seriously, is that it?"

This sudden accusation left Su Chengyu at a loss for words, not knowing whether to speak or remain silent.

At this moment, the voice of Bei Tang Qianxiao came from outside the ancestral hall: "Grandfather! What are you saying!"

Hearing the conversation between the two clearly, Bei Tang Qianxiao rushed over with her face slightly blushing and a frown.

Seeing this, Bei Tang Xiong Tian hurriedly turned around wanting to leave, but Bei Tang Qianxiao blocked him instantly.

"Don’t leave! Have you taken your medicine this month? It’s not easy to catch you, you can’t just run away now."

Bei Tang Xiong Tian, hearing this, appeared even more aged as if he aged a decade all at once, and painfully said: "Qianxiao, didn’t I just take it a while ago? Maybe we could..."

"No way! That was nearly a month ago, catching you this time, you need to take your medicine! Where is it!"

Bei Tang Qianxiao spoke vehemently as Bei Tang Xiong Tian reluctantly produced a bowl of medicine soup that had been prepared long ago.

The fragrance of the medicine flowed into Su Chengyu’s nostrils along with the air, and the familiar scent made him subconsciously ask: "Bone Washing Grass?"

Upon hearing this, Bei Tang Qianxiao immediately turned: "Yes, it is the Bone Washing Grass that you sold to our Bei Tang family last time. After refining the Pill of Tribulation, there was still a lot left, so it was used to medicate my grandfather."

Su Chengyu looked at Bei Tang Xiong Tian’s soup, noting the sediment at the bottom and the pervasive scent in the air, and softly asked: "May I ask Elder Bei Tang, this medicinal soup, is it the renowned Nine-Turning Soul Departure Soup that is said to revive the dead and mend bones?"
