Chapter 34- The Sacred Spirit Medicine Body

In the middle of the night, Su Mu walked through the empty Black Wind Forest towards the High Heaven Pavilion.

'Since Shan Qing Luo exists in this small world, is it possible for Heaven's Order's descendent to be here as well? But if she survived for a few centuries after her battle with Mo Sheng, her descendant should be in the Universe World, rather than this Small World. What was her descendant's name?' Su Mu thought.

"Ah, right. Her descendant's name was Zhang Ruo Xi." Su Mu muttered, remembering the girl who inherited the Heaven's Order bloodline from his old acquaintance.

'The Heaven's Order Bloodline won't be inherited by all of my descendants, only one or two of them would be able to inherit it through the generations. In my family, or what it used to be, I am the only known person to have inherited this bloodline.' Those were the words that she, the original Heaven's Order, had told him.

With those thoughts in mind, Su Mu arrived at the High Heaven Pavilion, sneaking inside without much trouble before walking towards the living quarters.

At first, he was thinking about visiting Hu Mei'er and Hu Jiao'er, but after he realised that the two of them were cultivating the Siblings Divine Art, although they weren't at a serious step in their cultivation, he decided to visit them later.

Standing in front of a nameless living quarter, Su Mu knocked on the door twice.

Knock* Knock*

"Who's there?" Xia Ning Chang's voice came from the inside.

"It's me, Senior Sister Xia." Su Mu replied.

Just as his voice fell, Su Mu heard Xia Ning Chang's hurried footsteps as she rushed towards the front door.

"Brother Su." Xia Ning Chang exclaimed, opening the door before inviting Su Mu in.

Walking inside, Su Mu looked around. Xia Ning Chang's room wasn't empty like Su Yan's, but it wasn't overly furnished either. A bed for a single person, two chairs and a table, along with some other stuff, which was mostly related to alchemy.

"Did I disturb you?" Su Mu asked, making Xia Ning Chang shake her head.

"I couldn't sleep, so I was reading a Martial Technique given to me by my master." Xia Ning Chang said, pointing towards the scroll lying on the table. "Have a seat, Brother Su."

"I see, it's a nice place." Su Mu commented, taking a seat on a chair as Xia Ning Chang sat on the other one. Both of them were sitting close to each other.

"Thank you, Brother Su." Xia Ning Chang replied with a sweet smile, although it was hidden underneath her veil.

"Brother Su, why are you here? My Honoured Master is asleep right now." She remembered that Su Mu had something to discuss with her Master, so she thought that he was here to meet Meng Wuya.

'Asleep? Tell that to the old man sneaking around with his Divine Sense. Meng Wuya was probably pondering about how I came here without him noticing anything.' Su Mu thought, a smile appearing on his face as he decided to mess with the old man.

"Who cares about that old man? Senior Sister Xia, I came to see you." Su Mu replied with a smile, making Xia Ning Chang realise that they were alone in that room, not to mention that it was midnight.

"Have you forgotten our promise?" Su Mu leaned forward, and whispered in Xia Ning Chang's ear, making her eyes widen.

"I remember." Xia Ning Chang replied in the faintest voice possible, moving her hands and removing the veil covering her face. "Whenever I am alone with Brother Su, I must not wear my veil."

"You look beautiful." Su Mu said, getting up.

Leaning forward, he caressed Xia Ning Chang's cheek with his right hand and kissed her on the lips, making the blush on Xia Ning Chang's face deepen, but she didn't resist.

Although she was embarrassed about the current situation, the warmth and comfort she felt made her want to stay like this forever. Slowly, Xia Ning Chang opened her mouth, welcoming Su Mu's tongue as they started kissing more passionately.

Meanwhile, Su Mu could also hear the sound of Meng Wuya's teeth gritting so hard that they might fall off.

After letting go of the kiss, it took several minutes for Xia Ning Chang to calm down.

"Senior Sister Xia, how was your time within the Heaven's Cave Inheritance?" Su Mu asked, making Xia Ning Chang's attention divert from their previous kiss.

"When I first entered the Heaven's Cave Inheritance, I appeared inside..."

And so, two hours passed with Xia Ning Chang and Su Mu talking about their experiences within the Heaven's Cave Inheritance.

While they were talking, Su Mu casually picked up the scroll lying on the table and started reading it.

"Hmm. A Martial Skill that focuses on attacking an enemy's weak spot." Su Mu muttered, placing the scroll back.

"Brother Su, if you need that Martial Skill, I can ask Master." Xia Ning Chang asked, making Su Mu chuckle a bit.

"I don't, Senior Sister Xia. But I actually came to give you something. Can you get me an empty scroll, along with a brush and ink?" Su Mu asked, making Xia Ning Chang nod before she gave him what he asked for.

Placing the empty scroll on the table, Su Mu started writing down something. Xia Ning Chang rested her face on her hand, watching Su Mu with a smile on her face.

---

'She looks so happy.' Meng Wuya thought, looking at Xia Ning Chang and Su Mu with his Divine Sense. Ever since he adopted Xia Ning Chang and accepted her as a disciple, it was the first time Meng Wuya had seen her so happy. At first, he wanted to stop what the two of them were doing, but after seeing the smile on Xia Ning Chang's face, he couldn't help but grit his teeth in annoyance, he couldn't bring himself to rob that smile from her face.

'But, this can't go on for much longer. The longer it goes on, the more it'll hurt Chang'er.' Meng Wuya thought, internally sighing.

---

"Senior Sister Xia."

Hearing Su Mu's voice, Xia Ning Chang snapped out of her trance. Realising that she was caught watching Su Mu, her face reddened a bit as she avoided eye contact.

"What is the highest grade of pill you've refined?" Su Mu asked.

"Heaven Grade Top Rank." Xia Ning Chang answered immediately with a serious expression.

"You didn't have a good teacher." Su Mu muttered, shaking his head with a sorrowful expression while Meng Wuya wanted to cough a mouthful of blood after hearing that.

Su Mu's words had left a deeper impact on Meng Wuya than all of Zhang Yuan's attacks, a third-order Saint from the Demon Race who, along with the Demon Generals, forced him to escape to this lower realm.

"Hmm. I take it that you've never failed in the refinement of a Heaven Grade Pill?" Su Mu asked, making Xia Ning Chang nod. "Then, what about the appearance of Pill Veins?"

"About forty to fifty percent." Xia Ning Chang replied.

"And Pill Cloud?"

"It never appeared." Xia Ning Chang shook her head, making Su Mu sigh. That sigh was the same as a dagger in Meng Wuya's heart.

Handing the scroll over to Xia Ning Chang, Su Mu continued. "This is a Secret Art made for those who have the Sacred Spirit Medicine Body, I'm sure it'll be useful to you. But you can only cultivate this Secret Art after reaching the Immortal Ascension Realm. And since that's the case, I've written some insights on alchemy that will help you improve faster."

"Brother Su, where did you get this?" Xia Ning Chang asked, confused. She never doubted Su Mu's words, but she was still confused as to how Su Mu came into possession of such knowledge.

"I know a thing or two about alchemy. As for the Secret Art, that's a secret." Su Mu replied with a smile, making Xia Ning Chang's heart skip a beat.

"Thank you, Brother Su." Xia Ning Chang replied with moist eyes.

"It's just a Secret Art, and I can't even use it right now." Su Mu replied with a smile.

'Who knew this Secret Art would come in handy in a situation like this? It's a good thing that I took it from him. The Secret Art I gave her is missing a part cause I doubt Xia Ning Chang can cultivate such an evil Secret Art, but I can cultivate that part after getting the Sacred Spirit Medicine Body.' Su Mu thought, a smile appearing on his face.

---

'This Secret Art!' Meng Wuya internally exclaimed.

After reading what was inside the scroll, Meng Wuya realised that it was indeed a Secret Art made for those who possess the Sacred Spirit Medicine Body, and it was so profound that he was barely able to understand it. But what he couldn't understand was how Su Mu came across such a Secret Art, it was simply impossible for him to have discovered it in this lower realm.

'The Heaven's Cave Inheritance?' That was the only conclusion Meng Wuya could come to.

And considering how Su Mu was willing to give such a precious Secret Art to Xia Ning Chang, Meng Wuya couldn't help but show a faint smile.

'Maybe that brat isn't as hateful as I previously thought.' Meng Wuya thought, nodding to himself.

---

"And when you're able to refine higher grade of pills, throw them all at that old man's face." Su Mu said with a light laugh.

Xia Ning Chang giggled a bit after hearing that.

'Hateful brat.' Meng Wuya cursed internally, completely forgetting about the nice impression he had of Su Mu mere moments ago.

And so, a few more hours passed. Noticing that the sun was almost out, Su Mu decided to take his leave since he was sure Meng Wuya would ask for a 'talk' with him.

"I'll see you later, Senior Sister Xia." Standing outside her living quarters, Su Mu looked at the unveiled Xia Ning Chang.

She didn't reply, just looking at him for a few seconds before Xia Ning Chang jumped forward, pressing her lips against Su Mu's with a face as red as a tomato. She couldn't believe she was the one taking the initiative to do something like this.

"Thank you, Brother Su." With those words, Xia Ning Chang ran inside her living quarters.
