Chapter 11: Supply

Hui began to show away, then froze. Ive received a bowl from Skybound Peaks cafeteria up the height. Isnt {that a} smoking gun? I must do away with the proof, stat! Truly might you come up the mountain? Theres one thing I might use your assist with.Up to date from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

I cant cross the barrier, Lao mentioned.

Barrier? Hui requested.

Lao stepped previous Hui and reached his hand out. The air simmered round his hand, refusing to let him push any additional. The barrier. All of the peaks have one. Interior sect disciples are given passes to their very own peaks, however ah, I assume you wouldnt know. Inheriting disciples are excepted from the obstacles, the identical as peak lords and anybody above them.

Oh, Hui mentioned blankly. I actually had no thought. Wait right here, Ailing be proper again.

Supply for disciple Hui, a flat voice introduced.

Hui and Lao whipped round. A woman with grass-green hair and multicolored eyes, one blue, one pink, carried an enormous picket field on her again. With their consideration on her, she hefted the field off her shoulder and thumped it onto the bottom. She drew a sheet of paper out of her robes and held it out to him. For those who might signal?

Supply? Its nearly like being house once more and ordering issues on-line, however higher, as a result of magic! Elated, Hui bounced over and signed.

Happy, the lady nodded and walked off. Hui and Lao turned to the field.

Order one thing from Cauldron Peak? Lao requested.

Howd it was from Cauldron Peak? Hui requested, wanting on the field. There have been no markings on it, nor was the wooden something excellent.

Lao pointed at his face. Her eyes and hair. Cauldron Peak is our alchemy division. Just like the identify suggests, the height itself is an enormous capsule furnace. The disciples on Cauldron Peak are uncovered to tablet fumes all day, and it turns their eyes and hair attention-grabbing colours. Generally their nails, too. Pores and skin, garments something. I bear in mind a 12 months the place all of them had blue pores and skin, due to some odd capsule the Cauldron Grasp made.

Cauldron Grasp? Hui requested.

Cauldron Peaks equal of Peak Lord. Wen Xiaobao is let’s say, overly literal? She doesnt like being referred to as Peak Lord when her actual function is to handle the huge capsule furnace of Cauldron Peak. He shrugged. Takes every kind to domesticate, huh?

Letting out a fierce shout, Hui whirled, jumped into the air, and kicked the field over. It struck a rock and cracked open. A capsule furnace tumbled out, together with a dozen totally different material pouches.

He grinned. “Ha, take that, dumb field! Nobody makes this Xiao Hui endure all day and will get away with it!”

Happy, he wandered over to the mess he’d made and picked by means of it, accumulating the pouches, tidying the picket fragments of the field. Eventually, he made his means over to the capsule furnace. Plain, the rusty purple of outdated wrought iron, its solely excellent function was its dimension. The furnace simply stood massive sufficient to achieve his knee, and huge sufficient he might simply sit inside with the lid off.

Hui grabbed the capsule furnace and instantly dropped it once more. Heavy! Circulating his qi, he tried once more. This time, he managed to shove the furnace upright. He checked out it, regarded on the hut 100 yards away, then shrugged. I assume Ailing have an out of doors furnace. No means Im getting all of it the way in which over to the hut with out damaging it… Or, extra possible, me.

Curious, Hui opened one of many pouches. Inexperienced leaves, shiny on one facet, uninteresting on the opposite, awaited him. He pulled one out and flipped it over, then shrugged and put it again away. One other pouch held glowing blue flower buds. One more held a free reddish powder that burst in his face as he opened the pouch.

Coughing, Hui waved a hand in entrance of his face and backed away, yanking the pouch shut as he did. Let me guess. These are capsule supplies?

So wheres the guide? Hui fished round within the field. His forehead furrowed. He piled up the pouches beside the furnace, then tore the wooden aside.

Theres no guide?

A scene flashed by means of his thoughts. A flick of a white sleeve. An imperious voice. A disciple of mine ought to require no hints.

Despairing, Hui fell to his knees. Grasp! Im not a genius such as you!

On his knees, he froze. Wait. Wait, maintain up. Lao cant enter the height. Sis Mei cant, both. The one individuals who can enter the peaks barrier with impunity are inheriting disciples, peak lords, or higher. Who nursed me again to well being?

I dont even know who the opposite inheriting disciples are. The one peak lord apart from Weiheng Wu who cares about me, hates me. I havent laid eyes on anybody loftier than a peak lord, in all my years on the sect. Then doesnt that imply

He stiffened. A dry chuckle escaped his throat. I hope Grasp didnt thoughts being referred to as sis.

Abruptly, he bowed towards the route hed final seen Weiheng Wu, all these years in the past. Sorry, Grasp! Thanks, Grasp!
