Chapter 161 CHAPTER 160: Are You Really A Tier-5 Alchemy Master?

"Boy, why are you remaining silent? Do you enjoy it? " Grand Elder Hu Jing asked.

"W-hat?" Joey stuttered.

"The view you saw earlier." Grand Elder Hu Jing replied.

Her long nail made a small cut on his neck. Then, she licked the drop of blood on it.

After that, she moved back and said, "Good good good, you are a halfling dragon." And she murmured, "He will be the best Dao partner for Hu Biyin."

"What?" Joey asked. Then he touched his skin that had been made a small cut by her nail feeling a bit itchy.

"It's nothing. Alright boy, bring her out." Grand Elder Hu Jing said.

Joey looked at her cautiously and thought, "This woman is a bit crazy. I should be careful with her. "

Then he teleported the little white tiger in the air from inside the Invincible Corruption Pagoda.

After she appeared in the air, she quickly transformed into the fully grown white tiger. Then she landed majestically on the floor.

"Beautiful lady, are you the one who wants to meet me? Why are you not bowing to this queen?" Jizhi, the white tiger said bossily.

Grand Elder Hu Jing kneeled in one leg and greeted politely, "Greeting your majesty, I am the current Grand Elder of the Black Tiger Tribe, Hu Jing."

"Brat, if you let her keep kneeling like that then I will cut half of your chicken legs this month." Joey started threatening her using her biggest weakness again.

"Alright, alright. You can stand up." Jizhi, the white tiger said bossily again. Then, Grand Elder Hu Jing stood up slowly.

"Brat, where is your manner? She is a senior to both of us." Joey reminded her.

"Senior Hu Jing, I am Jizhi. It is nice meeting you." Jizhi, the white tiger, introduced herself politely.

Grand Elder Hu Jing felt warmth in her heart after seeing Jizhi becoming very polite to her. And she thought, "What a mischievous little girl? She wants to show off before this boy. "

"From today onward, according to the ancestral rule of our Black Tiger Tribe, I, Hu Jing the 75th Grand Elder of the Black Tiger Tribe will guide and protect you until you get mature. " Grand Elder Hu Jing announced with a firm resolution.

After some minutes later, Joey touched her head and suddenly she was teleported back to the Heavenly Corruption Pagoda.

"Alright, you can go back inside," He said.

After Jizhi the white tiger disappeared, Grand Elder Hu Jing breathed out and changed back to her usual self.

"Boy, I need to protect her from today onward. Where have you taken her to now?" Grand Elder Hu Jing asked curiously.

"Somewhere safe. Senior Hu Jing, can you get me these things on the list? " Joey replied and asked. Then he took out a piece of paper and gave it to her.

She carefully read it.

"Boy, our herb garden has all of them. But, why do you need all these herbs for?" She asked curiously.

"Senior Hu Jing, I need them to concoct some Tier-5 pills. I feel bad for what happens to those ladies from the Mudan Sect. So, these pills will be for them. " Joey replied politely.

"Oh! Are you really a Tier-5 Alchemy master?" She asked with surprise.

Joey nodded and said, "Senior Hu Jing, you must have already known that I am not from this world. I came from a world called the Ancestral Armament world. I and my friends have come here through a portal. But, we do not have any means to return back. "

"Hah! The Ancestral Armament World. Boy, I had been to that place a long time ago." Grand Elder Hu Jing said with a surprise.

She become a bit emotional suddenly and started mumbling softly, "Dear Husband, Jing'er misses you so much. Those days, we have roamed to that world.  Those were the best days of my life. I really miss them." Then, tears started falling from her eyes.

"Senior Hu Jing, are you okay?" Joey asked with concern.

She waived the tears with her sleeve and replied, "I am fine." Then, she quickly returned back to normal again.

"Senior Hu Jing, I don't want to be rude. But, can I know what really happens to your husband?" Joey asked curiously.

But, she remained silent and tried to calm her emotion down.

After a few minutes, she breathed out a heavy sighed and said, "Boy, you want to return to that world, right? I know the means to get to that world of yours. There is a teleportation array formation at the Forbidden Ground of the 55 Buddhas' Tombs. You can use it to return back to your world.  "

"Boy, you can return back to your room now. I will send you all the herbs you listed here soon. " She said.

Joey thanked her and quickly excused himself from the hall.

After Joey had left the room, she clenched her hands and murmured, "My dear husband, I know that you are still alive. I am a coward for leaving you alone there. This time, I will surely  come and rescue you." Then, she quickly disappeared from inside the hall.

Joey came out of the hall and met Du Shan there.

"Grandpa Du Shan, do you know where those twelve ladies from the Mudan Sect are currently staying?"

"Yes. Young Master Joey, I will bring you there." Du Shan said. Then, he led him toward their rooms while chatting with him on the way.

Soon they reached a tall building. This place was especially for those sick and weak elderly people inside the palace of the Black Tiger Tribe.

Joey entered their rooms and checked on each of their health. Currently, the twelve ladies from the Mudan have all become old ladies.

"Corruption Beast, what have you done to them? All of their life essence qi was almost sucked dry. Lucky that there is still some left inside their bodies, otherwise they will have all died a long ago." Joey murmured to himself.

"Grandpa Du Shan, let's leave this place. I have some important things to do right now." Joey said. Then, the two left that place and returned back to their rooms.
