The screens of various peaks in the sect suddenly displayed scenes, and the elder in the mission hall didn’t say much, just let the scenes play from the beginning.
The commissioner seems to have a certain skill in recording landscapes, unknowingly attracting many disciples with the beauty shown above.
It wasn’t until the figures of Jin Congmo and others appeared that everyone realized the owner of the Memory Stone was Ah Chen, which attracted even more people to come over and watch.
Pei Feixue received reports from disciples and learned of this matter, and sent a voice transmission to the elder in the mission hall to inquire about what was going on.
The elder said: "Ah Chen came to me just now, saying many disciples in the sect don’t believe Jin Congmo’s injury has nothing to do with her. It so happens she coincidentally recorded the image of the Flood Dragon with her Memory Stone and asked me to broadcast it to each peak."
Pei Feixue’s heart eased, so that was it.
It’s indeed hard to control the private gossip among disciples. If she, as the Sect Master, were to intervene, it would only backfire.
Now that Chenchen has evidence to prove her innocence, it’s for the best.
Pei Feixue transmitted: "Broadcast it for three days and nights, and soon I’ll arrange for someone to send you two bottles of Solid Essence Pill."
The elder in the mission hall gleefully agreed, of course, there wasn’t any problem.
Ah Chen is the God of Wealth, and some disciples in the sect aren’t too clever.
Did Ah Chen really do anything outright unforgivable? Not at all. If she truly did, with the Sect Master’s personality, she definitely wouldn’t let it slide.
For such a God of Wealth, why not flatter her a bit from time to time? Reputation is empty, while tangible benefits are practical.
Those disciples truly don’t know how to cherish, knowing flattering Ah Chen would make obtaining resources the easiest for them—they clearly haven’t encountered the harsh realities of the Cultivation World.
Still, there are some clever ones.
Thinking about it, Ah Chen is unlikely to bear grudges, and in future matters, she will likely involve those clever disciples. Those who chirped behind her back probably won’t get the opportunity again.
During this experience, Ah Chen truly matured a great deal; it seems one must go through some things to grow.
Soon, the Memory Stone’s images played at the waterfall where the Flood Dragon was encountered.
This moment, disciples from various peaks were captivated and were watching.
Such a huge commotion, of course, the Jin Family Siblings knew about it, and their expressions weren’t good.
Originally, they wanted to incite public opinion a bit, but they didn’t expect Ah Chen had used the Memory Stone to record the incident at the waterfall.
Of course, they knew Ah Chen initially intended to record the scenery, but they didn’t anticipate she’d still have the Memory Stone out at that time.
They didn’t think much of it, just regarded it as a coincidence, since that waterfall’s location was indeed beautiful, and wanting to record the Flood Dragon’s form was understandable.
In the screen, the Flood Dragon appeared, swallowing the Spiritual Medicine whole, and then played tricks on others, eventually taking Jin Congshuang away, with Jin Congmo hastily pursuing.
The disciples who initially didn’t believe were now silent, realizing this was truly a misunderstanding regarding Ah Chen.
However, they still looked down on and disliked Ah Chen.
Ah Chen isn’t bothered whether they like her or not—this blame certainly cannot be borne, her objective is simply that.
Seeing this, Pei Feixue genuinely breathed a sigh of relief, this was good, no one would say Chenchen implicated Jin Congmo anymore. If anyone did, it would be their fault, and she, as the Sect Master, could take action against them without criticism.
The Memory Stone’s images played for three days and nights, and everyone who should know the truth by now knew.
The Jin Family Siblings were so furious they spat blood, yet could only pretend nonchalantly.
Today, Ah Chen went to the main peak.
Pei Feixue was somewhat surprised, but maintained a smiling, incredibly gentle expression: "Chenchen, what brings you here?"
"Mom, is Dad busy recently?" Ah Chen asked.
Pei Feixue said: "Your dad is pondering a special elixir, already secluded for many days. If there’s something urgent, your mom will send him a message, if it’s not crucial, he’ll definitely come out to see you."
This special elixir is of course related to their daughter.
Actually, the senior brother hasn’t given up on this matter all along, but over the years there’s been little progress.
It’s said there’s a Bone Regeneration Pill that can restore body’s deficiencies, whether it affects Spirit Roots, they don’t know, but as long as there’s a slight possibility, senior brother will try.
However, the elixir recipe for the Bone Regeneration Pill existed in ancient times, long lost to the river of time, not even a fragmented recipe remains, attempting to restore it is undoubtedly a fool’s dream.
Pei Feixue sent a message to Shen Song, shortly after, a handsome man appeared in the grand hall, brimming with smiles, exactly the commissioner’s father, Shen Song.
"Chenchen, what do you need from Dad?" Shen Song quickly approached Ah Chen, casually bringing out a Storage Bag filled with elixirs, "These recent elixirs, take them and play around."
Ah Chen accepted, "Thank you, Dad. Dad, I want to try Alchemy, is that okay?"
Since Alchemy is the aim, naturally a source is required.
Shen Song being a top-tier Alchemist is indeed handy.
Wouldn’t it be reasonable for her to inherit an exceptional talent in Alchemy?
Shen Song and Pei Feixue exchanged glances, somewhat surprised, yet pleased, a daughter finding something she enjoys is certainly good.
Thus, Ah Chen was taken by Shen Song to his Alchemy Room.
He didn’t know if his daughter’s interest in alchemy was temporary or if she truly wished to learn more skills, so he taught especially attentively.
Due to various reasons, the relationship with their daughter was somewhat estranged, her heart knot being talent, they dared not speak sternly. As long as she doesn’t commit vile deeds, with character issues, they will pamper her as much as possible. After all, her life might only span a fleeting few hundred years.
To mortals, that’s multiple lifetimes, but to cultivators is overbearingly brief, possibly in one secluded cultivation they might never see her again. Since her birth, they haven’t entered isolated cultivation solemnly ever again.
"Remembered everything?" Shen Song explained some basics of alchemy, then asked Ah Chen.
Ah Chen nodded, repeating what he had just said.
Shen Song found nothing peculiar, his daughter simply had Spirit Root deficiencies, her mind was sound, and cultivators’ Divine Sense enhances memory retention.
Afterwards, Shen Song taught Ah Chen to identify Spiritual Medicine, followed by certain precautions about Spiritual Medicine, also roughly explaining some common elixir recipes.
Seeing Ah Chen keeping pace, he attempted to teach her alchemy.
Alchemy naturally needs fire.
Some cultivators directly use their own Elixir Fire, though those unable to condense Elixir Fire must resort to external forces to ignite flames.
The commissioner’s body possesses a Thunder Spirit Root, even if deficient, yet without reaching the Golden Core, gathering fire is possible. Of course, the commissioner might fall short, however, Ah Chen’s traversal incorporated refining this body.
Actually, the commissioner’s cultivation isn’t as superficial as imagined, just talent being deficient, foundationally quite solid.
Ah Chen’s action was eliminating impurities, consolidating cultivation well, refining intensity, making it viable to gather fire relying solely on this body’s essence.
