Xu Zhongliang sighed. "These... are all people who play politics their whole lives. Stay away from them in the future."
"Grandpa Xu, I understand," Chu Mo said sincerely. He knew that the old man was really looking out for him. Otherwise, he would not have said such words to him.
"However, regarding the matter regarding the Xia Jing Prince, you handled it very well. Xia Jie has done many evil deeds, and now he has received the punishment he deserves. After that, Xia Jing's revenge was resolved by you one by one. Not only did it not intensify the conflict, but it also eased the animosity between the two of you. This method is quite brilliant! "Xu Zhongliang looked at Chu Mo with a gratified expression.
He continued, "Although His Majesty is angry at the Prince, he is still a brother. You can cure Prince Xia Jing's illness. Not only will His Majesty be happy, but you have also done a good deed for the whole of Yan Huang City."
Xu Fufu said from the side, "Mm, at least he won't go out to harm others."
Xu Zhongliang nodded and looked at Chu Mo. "One last thing. After the new year, you may join the army. However, this matter hasn't come to a conclusion yet. After Marshal Fang Mingtong found out about your deeds on the grasslands, he almost went crazy. No matter what, he wanted you to join the army. When I had a different opinion, he wanted to fight me to the death. "
Xu Zhongliang smiled bitterly. "A scholar meets a soldier..."
"With my grandfather?" Chu Mo asked with a smile. He had spent most of his time in the army, and was not averse to military life.
"Not necessarily. Because of your current status, after entering the army, your starting point will be higher." Xu Zhongliang looked at Chu Mo. "If you go to your grandfather's side, you will be criticized. After all, no one knows that you have a Hero's Medal on you. "
Chu Mo nodded and said, "Alright, then we'll talk about it after the new year."
Xu Fufu said from the side, "Grandpa, I want to join the army too."
"You can't!" Chu Mo and Xu Zhongliang said in unison.
The corner of Xu Fufu's mouth twitched, and he looked aggrieved. "Why?"
Chu Mo and Xu Zhongliang looked at each other.
"You go first."
"You first."
Then, the two looked at each other and smiled.
Xu Fufu rolled his eyes and said, "Is there a need to be so tacit?"
Chu Mo said, "If you want to prove yourself, you don't necessarily have to walk the path of others."
Xu Zhongliang looked at Chu Mo approvingly, and then said to Xu Fufu, "You have such a good brother. Even if I'm not here in the future, you can rest assured!"
"Grandpa, what are you talking about?" Xu Fufu's eyes were slightly red.
"Hehe, to be honest, everyone will die one day. This is inevitable." Xu Zhongliang smiled very calmly and then said, "The army is indeed not suitable for you."
Xu Fufu scratched his head and said, "Actually, I also know that the army is not suitable for me, but I really want to do something. I don't want people to call me the Tenth Young Master with awe wherever I go … No matter how much awe they show on their faces, I know in my heart that what they revere is my grandfather, my father, and the entire Xu family!"
There was a hint of disappointment on Xu Fufu's face, and then he said, "But it's not me."
"There are actually many ways to win the respect of others." Xu Zhongliang looked at his grandson with some satisfaction. "A person who is fair, fair, and upright can win the respect of others. A warrior who protects the country and never backs down can win the respect of others. A person who does things seriously can also win the respect of others. A warm-hearted person who does good deeds for the village all day long … can also win the respect of others!"
Xu Fufu sat there thoughtfully and murmured, "I seem to … understand a little. If the things that Chu Mo did on the plains were to be publicized, he would definitely win the respect of all the people of Da Xia! Because he has made a great contribution to the country and the people! "
Xu Zhongliang nodded. "Yes, if this matter were to be publicized, from the imperial court to the countryside, everyone would respect Chu Mo. Because he is the hero of the entire Da Xia! "
Chu Mo smiled a little embarrassedly. "It's not that exaggerated …"
"It's not exaggerated at all!" Xu Zhongliang said with a serious face. "Perhaps you are not fully aware of the impact that what you did on the plains has on the entire Da Xia … and even on the entire Azure Dragon continent!"
Other than Chu Mo, Xu Fufu had never seen his grandfather praise someone like this. There was no jealousy in his heart, only happiness for his brother. At the same time, he secretly swore in his heart: Chu Mo is right. If I want to prove myself, I don't necessarily have to walk the path of others! From today onwards, I will work hard. One day, when people mention the name Xu Fufu, the first thing that comes to their mind is not the huge Xu family behind him, nor the numerous beauties around him! But me … Xu Fufu!
Soon after, Chu Mo bid farewell to the Xu family and returned to the Fan Mansion.
One-armed uncle was still not home. He was probably still busy gathering those veterans. Chu Mo thought in his heart: It seems that One-armed uncle has finally found the confidence that he had lost for many years.
What surprised Chu Mo was that Demon King was actually there.
"Master … you didn't go out?" Chu Mo came over and bowed to Demon King.
Demon King glanced at Chu Mo. "I just came back."
Chu Mo was thinking in his heart about how to tell his master about the elixir. Because Xia Jing had already gathered one-third of the medicinal ingredients, Chu Mo had already refined three elixirs!
Yes, the medicinal ingredients that could pile up into a huge mountain of medicinal ingredients were only refined into three elixirs.
The space within the jade had also expanded a little. Many fresh green sprouts had also grown on the small grey tree. A large number of medicinal ingredients were absorbed and refined into elixirs. At the same time, it also provided a large amount of energy to the space within the jade.
Chu Mo's feelings were the most direct and intuitive.
Demon King asked lightly, "I heard that you instructed that prince to gather a large number of medicinal ingredients from all over the place?"
"That's true." Chu Mo nodded his head and looked at Demon King with some apprehension.
"On the grassland, the opportunity you obtained … is related to refining elixirs, right?" Demon King looked at Chu Mo. A touch of emotion seemed to flash in those pair of cold eyes, but it disappeared in a flash.
Chu Mo was worried about how to tell his master about this. He nodded his head vigorously and said with some difficulty, "This matter … I didn't mean to hide it from Master, but … I don't know how to say it."
"You don't have to say it. That was your opportunity! Do you think Master will covet your opportunity? Or do you think I'm an idiot who doesn't know the rules and randomly asked about it? "Demon King glared at Chu Mo." In the Celestial World, if you obtain an opportunity, almost no one will say it! Even between father and son, they rarely ask about it. Because some opportunities … can't be said! "
"It's quite hard to say …" The corners of Chu Mo's mouth twitched as he said with deep sympathy. At the same time, he finally heaved a sigh of relief. His master … looked fierce and didn't seem like a good person, but in fact, he was very open-minded!
"It's not that it's hard to say, but many opportunities can't be said at all!" Demon King sighed softly and glanced at Chu Mo. He said lightly, "Back then, I suffered a huge loss because of this! Heaven's will and my will … is that biggest immortal opportunity. It made me, but at the same time, it … destroyed me! "
"So Master's inheritance actually came from an immortal opportunity?" This was the first time Chu Mo heard his master mention the past. He was very curious. "Why did you say it destroyed you?"
Demon King glanced at Chu Mo. "Originally, this matter couldn't be said to anyone. But now that you're my disciple and have begun to learn Heaven's will and my will, there's naturally no harm in telling you."
Chu Mo didn't expect that the matter that he had been worried about for so long was actually so simple in the eyes of the Demon King. He couldn't help but think to himself, "My knowledge is still too little. One day, I will definitely be like Master, knowledgeable and powerful!"
Since he had found the most reasonable explanation for the matter of refining medicine, Chu Mo could also take out the three pills without worry.
The Demon King looked at the three pills in his hand and couldn't hide the surprise on his face. "You can actually refine millions of kilograms of medicinal ingredients … into three pills? This opportunity of yours … is really great! "
Chu Mo wasn't too surprised that the Demon King knew about these things. Xia Jing buying medicinal ingredients wantonly was no secret in the entire Yan Huang City. It was also easy for the Demon King to know about this matter.
"Yes, there are only three pills. I estimate that after gathering all the medicinal ingredients, I can still refine more than 10 pills …" Chu Mo said.
The Demon King took the three pills and placed them in his palm. That pair of cold eyes revealed a complicated light. He said, "Who would have thought that I would accept a disciple out of despair and not let this legacy end … In the end, I actually saved myself."
"This is something that a disciple should do," Chu Mo said.
The Demon King glanced at Chu Mo and then said extremely sternly, "Remember, in the future, your ability to refine medicine must never be revealed in front of outsiders! Not only can you refine medicine, but you also know what poison I have and how to cure it … You should know that with such means, even in the immortal realm, countless big shots will be jealous! Once this gets out, it will definitely bring you a fatal disaster! "
"Uh, this means is in my own hands. If they want me to refine medicine, would they dare to force me?" Chu Mo said, somewhat unconvinced. "At most, we can just break up. If I die, they won't be able to live well either."
"What do you know!" The Demon King glared at Chu Mo. "The means of almighty people is something that you can't even imagine! Do you think you have a backbone? Aren't you afraid of being tortured? Do you think that they can only beg you? Naive! "
The Demon King looked at Chu Mo with a serious face. "Do you know that a true expert doesn't need to torture you at all! One soul-searching technique … and you will know everything! If they are more vicious … they can directly refine you into a mindless puppet … At that time, you won't even have your own soul. What can you use to break up? "
Chu Mo trembled in fear. "So scary?"
The Demon King glanced at Chu Mo. "There are even scarier things! In the future, you will slowly come into contact with them. But from now on, you must learn how to protect yourself! In a while … I will teach you a few disguise techniques. Next time, if you want to use this ability for something, at least … change your identity. "
Chu Mo sat there and pondered for a while. Then, a fearful expression appeared on his face as he murmured, "You're right. There are countless ways to make people submit. I was too simple-minded before. But now some people in Yan Huang City … should already know that I can refine immortal medicines, including Xia Jing. He already knows. "
The Demon King glanced at Chu Mo and said, "Don't you still have a master?"
Chu Mo slapped his forehead and said, "I'm really stupid … I forgot about this."
His master was the powerful Demon King! Would he be afraid of others finding trouble with him? It would be good enough if he didn't find trouble with others!
