Master is tempting, come to my disciple's arms

The bustling market was filled with people, and both sides were filled with rare treasures, elixirs and miraculous medicines. In addition to the wealthy businessmen from the mortal world, there were also some monks wandering among them.

Chu Yunze opened his big curious eyes and looked around. Although these spiritual herbs and plants were not precious and rare in their world of cultivation, they were rare to see in a place like the mortal world.

Their purpose this time was not the herbs being sold on the ground, but the Baicao Pavilion, which specialized in supplying raw materials for making pills to the cultivation world.

Leaving the noisy market behind them, the two of them walked into a quiet alley. The alley was like a maze and one might even get lost if walking there for the first time. Wen Guangbai walked slowly in front of them with ease. This was Chu Yunze's first time to such a place. Although he had heard of Baicao Pavilion, seeing is believing. All alchemists and pill practitioners were familiar with Baicao Pavilion.

There is a unique scenery at the end of the alley, which is invisible to ordinary people with naked eyes. In order to prevent people with bad intentions from finding this place, an invisible barrier is set up outside Baicao Pavilion. Monks who want to come here must bring the jade pendant of Baicao Pavilion, on which the iconic building of Baicao Pavilion is engraved.

"arrive!"

A gentle voice came from his ear. Because the alley was narrow, the two people were very close to each other, and the voice seemed to be spoken next to his ear.

Chu Yunze just felt his ears were a little itchy.

The turquoise building hidden in the depths suddenly appeared in front of the two people. The building looked like the mansion where the city lord of the mortal world lived, with a vermilion gate and turquoise walls. Looking closely, the walls were actually covered with ivy. No wonder it was that color.

Wen Guangbai took out the Baicao Pavilion jade pendant from his storage bag and gently placed it in the groove in front of the door, and the door automatically opened to both sides.

I really didn't expect that the spiritual energy in this Baicao Pavilion is not inferior to the world of cultivation. Everywhere you look are spiritual plants, both rare and common ones are available.

Su Mu, the head of Baicao Pavilion, is a good friend of Wen Guangbai. The two knew each other when they were young, but now their identities are completely different, one has become an alchemist and the other has become a businessman.

The two men bowed to each other and exchanged a few polite words. Su Mu led them to a pavilion and asked a maid to pour three cups of hot tea. Only then did Wen Guangbai ask Su Mu questions.

Chu Yunze stood obediently beside Wen Guangbai. For some reason, he always felt that Pavilion Master Su had some interest in his Uncle Wen, just like the eldest senior brother had towards his master, except that the eldest senior brother had courage that not everyone could match.

"Is this Brother Wen's disciple? He is so handsome."

Su Mu looked Chu Yunze up and down. Being stared at by a strange man like this, Chu Yunze felt his scalp tingling and his heartbeat quickened. He felt that this Pavilion Master might not be interested in his uncle. He probably had the wrong person...

Wen Guangbai noticed that Chu Yunze was a little reserved, so he helped him ease the awkward atmosphere, "Haha, brother Su, you are joking. This is my nephew Chu Yunze. Yunze, come and say hello to the Pavilion Master."

Chu Yunze had a problem. When he was extremely nervous, he would stutter. Since he was a child, he had been ridiculed and mocked by countless people because of this. As a result, he did not dare to talk to others for a long time. Except for Mo Qianyu, no one knew about his defect.

His lips moved but no sound came out and his face turned red. Wen Guangbai became even more confused when he saw Chu Yunze like this.

Isn’t this kid too timid?

Wen Guangbai had no choice but to help him out: "My nephew is a little timid. He might be too nervous to speak. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Brother Su."

Hearing that Wen Guangbai actually came to his rescue, Chu Yunze's big eyes were suddenly filled with tears. He looked at Wen Guangbai who was sitting on the stone bench with his tearful eyes.

I was so excited and touched. My uncle really treated him well!

Su Mu chuckled: "It's okay, Brother Wen, you don't have to apologize. The little disciple is quite cute. Why are you still standing? Let's sit down together."

Chu Yunze glanced at Wen Guangbai. When Wen Guangbai heard Su Mu's words, he nodded and motioned for him to sit down.

Brother Wen, you are not here to reminisce about the past with Su Mu, right? Just tell me, if there is anything you need, Su Mu will do his best to help you.

Wen Guangbai took a sip of hot tea and said lazily, "I wonder if you have heard of the poison in the demon world - Hualing Powder? I came here to find the antidote for Hualing Powder. I wonder if you have any spiritual plants that can make the antidote for Hualing Powder?"

Su Mu looked at Wen Guangbai with a heavy face, and asked Wen Guangbai nervously: "Could it be that Brother Wen has been contaminated with this thing?"

Chu Yunze looked at Wen Guangbai with curiosity, obviously not knowing about the Spirit Transformation Powder.

"It's not me, it's my senior brother. His symptoms are very similar to those of being poisoned by the Hualing Powder. Of course, it's possible that it's not the case, but I'm worried, so I came to Brother Su to see if there is an antidote!"

After saying this, Wen Guangbai stared at the teacup in front of him with a worried look, and his calm eyebrows were now furrowed. It was conceivable how important this person was in his heart. Sometimes even Wen Guangbai couldn't tell what kind of feeling this was, whether it was the friendship between brothers or the love that moved him physically and mentally. He didn't know...

Su Mu, who was always talkative, fell silent at this moment. Seeing the handsome and elegant man in front of him also worrying about others, his heart suddenly ached.

He held the teacup that was gradually losing its heat in his hand, lowered his eyes and said, "I have also heard of the Soul-Transforming Powder. The only place with an antidote is the Demon Realm. Brother Wen, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you."

This result was the same as what Wen Guangbai had expected. He did not force it and could only sigh: "Thank you, Brother Su, for treating us with hot tea. I will think of another way."

After taking some spiritual plants such as blood-clotting grass, bone-growing flower, dragon bone grass, Taixuan fruit, etc. from the Herb Pavilion, Wen Guangbai took out six high-quality spirit stones from the storage bag and gave them to Su Mu.

These spiritual plants are the raw materials for making the Heart Nourishing Pill and the Marrow Cleansing Pill. In the world of cultivation, they are the basic medicines for cultivators and are also the most common. Logically speaking, as an alchemist from Jiyue Mountain, Wen Guangbai should have a lot of these spiritual plants on his Yunwei Peak, right?

Su Mu couldn't hold back his doubts and asked, "Brother Wen, don't Yunweifeng have these spiritual plants?"

Chu Yunze instantly thought of the demonized girl and didn’t dare to look at the expression on Wen Guangbai’s face again. His face was full of guilt.

Wen Guangbai himself didn't care and just gave a brief explanation. Su Mu didn't ask any more questions.

"Brother Su, we'll take our leave now. We'll have a good chat next time. Take care!"

Su Mu stood at the door, watching the two men leave. He inexplicably felt that they were a good match. He secretly sighed in his heart. Brother Wen was a good match for everyone except him...

Forget it. There are many people in this world who cannot get the love they want, or who do not cherish the love they get. As long as he is doing well in his life, he will be very satisfied.

He had to endure this shameful feeling alone during the long night.

After going through many twists and turns and getting out of the alley, the two had planned to go back after finishing their business, but Chu Yunze's eyes were fixed on one direction. Wen Guangbai looked over curiously and found that it was a restaurant with gorgeous decorations. It was obvious that it was not something that ordinary people could afford. The restaurant was crowded with people, and the aroma of wine mixed with the aroma of food made people drool.

"Want to eat? I'll take you to try it. I heard that the signature dishes of this restaurant are delicious."

Chu Yunze was surprised to hear Wen Guangbai's voice. Did he hear it right? It shouldn't be hallucination at such a close distance.

He nodded subconsciously, with an unconcealable joy on his face. His clear and clean eyes seemed to be filled with brilliant stars, which made people sink into them at a glance. Even Wen Guangbai was dazed for a moment. These eyes seemed... like that person.
