Chapter 440: 241: The Acquired Purple Qi Nine Crane Furnace!_1
Fang Mu had previously informed She Wan about Shui Miao and Golden Bull’s request.
In the past, She Wan had seen Shui Miao altering his appearance through Noface Star Paper. The old man in front of her was clearly not Shui Miao.
Upon hearing Fang Mu refer to him as an ‘old friend’, She Wan quickly guessed that this old man was a major figure from the Starwheel, one of the twelve main constellations, wielding the power of the Golden Bull constellation.
On a normal day, She Wan did not interact much with the twelve official members who sat on the Golden Chair in the Starwheel.
The few with whom she did interact did not include the Golden Bull.
She Wan was uncertain why the Golden Bull had transformed into this state, using the ancient genesis method to transplant polluting substances into his body.
Even though Golden Bull was an official member of the Starwheel, she was also part of the Starwheel.
She was somewhat wary of this new Golden Bull.
Since she was Fang Mu’s guard, she acted according to Fang Mu’s will.
If Fang Mu didn’t sense anything wrong with the Golden Bull then she need not be too concerned.
If she expressed too much concern, it could be misinterpreted as hostility.
She Wan didn’t want the Golden Bull to perceive her that way.
Regardless of the reason, the Golden Bull chose to transplant the pollutants into his body.
Now, these pollutants have severely impacted the Golden Bull’s health.
His legs had morphed into a mass of oozing, rotten meat.
Even if Golden Bull had a way to purge the pollutants from his body, it would likely have to involve amputating both legs.
If she showed too much concern about Golden Bull’s legs, and he interpreted it as wariness, that would still be fine.
But if he took it as mockery, she would face a tough time within the Starwheel in the future.
An official member of the Starwheel who sat on one of the twelve Golden Chairs once chosen, could only be replaced by death or voluntary resignation.
However, these members sitting on the South-North Sky Constellation Chair are subjected to judgement by the Starwheel’s official members.
If more than a third of the official members voted in favour of the judgment, the unofficial member would be expelled from the Starwheel.
So far, She Wan knew of a few unofficial members of the Starwheel who were kicked out for offending the official ones.
When She Wan left, Lu Xiaoyin coughed lightly while watching the direction Fang Mu and the others had gone in.
She then spoke to Lin Ziyuan and Feng Chenhao.
“Young masters, I hope you can help keep the situation here confidential.”
Hearing her words, Lin Ziyuan and Feng Chenhao hurriedly replied.
“Steward Lu, rest assured, we certainly won’t leak out anything about Mr. Jianmu!”
“Yes, Steward Lu, you’re overthinking! We will stick to our duties and not put Mr. Jianmu in a difficult situation!”
With his deformed legs, Shu Liangjun couldn’t possibly sit on the sofa after he entered the room.
Standing, he accepted the Heavenly Fragrant Tea from Fang Mu. He hadn’t taken a sip yet but the mere scent of tea brought an astonishing expression to his face.
Shu Liangjun loved tea, and there were hardly any teas in the world that he had not tried.
The leaves of the tea in front of him did not seem to be processed, carrying a natural fragrance of plants.
Most likely, the leaves of some plants were directly used to brew tea after being sun-dried.
Creating this type of tea was simple and depended on the quality of the raw materials.
After drinking this cup of tea, it surprisingly had a refreshing effect.
Shu Liangjun did not think that Fang Mu could have bought a tea of this caliber from the market.
There were certainly not any teas in the market that he had not tried before, so the Guardian Beast producing this kind of tea must have been specially cultivated by Master Qixing.
Even though he had not met Qixing yet, Shu Liangjun already regarded him as a refined gent.
he had already introduced himself to Fang Mu.
Shu Liangjun was familiar with She Wan, who was a guard introduced by the Aquarius to Fang Mu and also a member of the Starwheel.
Shu Liangjun decided to go straight to the point and asked Fang Mu.
“My life span has less than a year left, so I’m very curious about the method your Master Qixing will use to prolong my life span.”
Upon hearing Golden Bull’s words, She Wan was shocked and immediately understood why Golden Bull’s legs had become what they were.
The Golden Bull transformed into this state in hopes of elongating his life span by transplanting pollutants into his body.
However, he had failed, and possibly even suffered repercussions.
If not, given Golden Bull’s vitality, his lifespan shouldn’t be less than a year.
From Golden Bull’s words, She Wan learned something else: Fang Mu’s master, also known as Master Qixing, has a means to increase the lifespan of someone on the brink of death.
She Wan had never even heard of such a method.
Had it not been for Qixing’s reputation as a Grandmaster Creator, Golden Bull would probably not believe anyone else’s word and certainly not have made this trip.
Golden Bull’s direct question was within Fang Mu’s expectation. What a person on the brink of death would be most concerned about was surely the possibility of extending life.
Fang Mu looked at Golden Bull with a smile and said.
“My master greatly values your life, Elder Shu, and has entrusted me with an auspicious object meant to prolong your life.”
“But the method my master uses to increase your lifespan is rather confidential.”
“As you know, creators usually have their Guardian Beasts ingest sleep moss to prevent their methods from being exposed during enhancement.”
“For you, Elder Shu, I’ve prepared God-bewildering Incense. I’m merely acting on behalf of my master in using this auspicious object, so I have to observe his rules.”
“I hope you won’t put me in a difficult position, Elder Shu.”
Golden Bull had dealt with many Grandmaster Creators in his lifetime, and he knew that their rules were like a dog’s farts, plentiful and smelly.
