Chapter 955 Hidden Talent
Wei Zhenru had been wondering why there was suddenly such a large tree in the manor.
Hu Feng had left in a hurry earlier, and he hadn't had time to ask in detail.
Now, seeing the true form of the large tree, Wei Zhenru understood.
"This, this... is this big tree a demonic beast?"
The ancient tree, resting, heard this and transmitted a message: "Esteemed guest, please rest assured. This humble demon is only here to guard the manor and will not harm you."
The ancient tree thought Wei Zhenru was worried about its identity as a demonic beast.
Upon hearing this explanation, Wei Zhenru quickly waved his hands and chuckled wryly, "That's not it. It's just that seeing such a being for the first time is a bit..."
Wei Zhenru was at a loss for words. The scene before him was truly beyond his imagination.
How long had he been gone, and the manor had undergone such a seismic change.
The strength here had more than doubled!
Three demonic beasts had broken through to the peak of Grandmaster, plus four peak Grandmaster guards, and now a guardian was added.
Wei Zhenru looked at the old master and grinned, "You tell me, with this lineup, let alone families like the Zhou family, even if we were besieged by the Xuan Tian Cave Mansion, what would we have to fear?"
Old Master Wei remained silent. All of this was beyond his comprehension.
Just then, Wei Zhenru suddenly smelled a peculiar, exotic fragrance.
It smelled like wine, but this aroma surpassed that of ordinary wine.
"Eh? What's that smell? Steward Fei, do you smell it?"
Wei Zhenru looked at Fei Zilin with puzzled eyes.
Seeing Wei Zhenru's confused gaze, Fei Zilin hurriedly waved his hands and jumped, "Oh no, those guys have gone to steal wine again!"
Saying that, Fei Zilin rushed towards the source of the wine aroma.
After the first batch of Immortal Wine was produced the next morning, Chen Yang had it delivered to the manor in Qingzhou City.
After all, the martial artists of the Heavenly Physician Hall needed to cultivate.
With this item, their efforts would be twice as effective.
However, the aroma of the Immortal Wine was too rich.
An ordinary person would find it irresistible after smelling it, let alone demonic beasts that had just broken through to the peak of Grandmaster.
Demonic beasts already had keen senses of smell, and ever since the Immortal Wine was delivered to the manor, the three demonic beasts had been practically living in the wine jars.
The potency of the Immortal Wine would naturally not harm the three demonic beasts.
But this wine was currently limited, and even the martial artists of the Heavenly Physician Hall were urged to use it sparingly.
As the leader of the "instructors" and one of the head stewards of the manor, Fei Zilin's important duties naturally included protecting the Immortal Wine.
"Hey! Stealing wine again! You deserve a beating!"
Wei Zhenru heard a roar from a distance, and the next second, the sounds of fighting erupted from that direction.
Wei Zhenru quickly got up to help, but the large tree said, "Esteemed guest, please rest here. Although the three little ones are not weak, Steward Fei can still handle them!"
As expected, a shout came from afar: "Old Fei, it's the big rat drinking more, why are you staring at me!"
Fei Zilin roared back in exasperation, "How dare you speak? Put down the wine jar you're holding, and then we'll talk!"
A while later, Fei Zilin looked at the scattered Immortal Wine on the ground with immense regret, "No, this thing still needs to be put in a safer place!"
That big rat was now at the peak of Grandmaster. It could even secretly break through the young master's formations!
Chen Yang, who had just entered the manor, saw the three demonic beasts fleeing in the distance and his eyelids twitched violently, "I've just returned, why are you causing such a commotion?"
Upon hearing the young master's voice, Fei Zilin hurried over and reported the matter of the three demonic beasts stealing wine.
Chen Yang looked at the big rat hiding in the ancient tree with a dark expression, "Come here!"
Called by Chen Yang, the big rat naturally did not dare to linger. With a few flashes, it appeared beside Chen Yang.
"When did you break through the formation? How come I didn't feel anything?"
Chen Yang was truly surprised that this big rat had such a hidden talent!
Seeing the big rat grinning and seeming to take credit, Chen Yang reached out and patted its head, "This Immortal Wine is all useful. If you want to drink it, I'll have someone deliver it to you later."
After scolding the three demonic beasts, Chen Yang finally learned from Fei Zilin that Wei Zhenru had arrived.
After a simple tidy-up, Chen Yang went to the reception hall.
In front of the old master, Wei Zhenru spoke to Chen Yang about the old master's health.
This caught Old Master Wei off guard.
"Zhenru, why bother mentioning these trivial matters?"
Old Master Wei couldn't understand what was wrong with his most beloved grandson today.
Was he only here to discuss cooperation with Chen Yang today?
This involved the lives of many people in the Wei family, young and old!
Old Master Wei was well aware of his own physical condition, otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to return at this time. wΑp.kanshu伍.net
If he didn't act now, he would be carried back later.
But these, to put it mildly, were Old Master Wei's personal affairs. Even if they were magnified, they were still the Wei family's domestic matters.
What did it have to do with Chen Yang?
However, as soon as Wei Zhenru spoke, Chen Yang understood the implied meaning behind his words.
Wei Zhenru had seen Chen Yang refine pills and knew that Chen Yang possessed medical skills. The reason he wanted to explain these matters in front of the old master was to show the old master his determination!
In a state of utter confusion, Old Master Wei had his pulse taken by Chen Yang, and his eyes revealed a hint of amazement.
Chen Yang's methodical demeanor made it seem quite convincing!
"There are no major issues with your body. It's evident that you've taken good care of yourself."
"However, your five elements are weak, which doesn't seem to be an inherent problem for you."
"Old Master Wei, have you forcibly practiced any cultivation techniques before?"
As soon as Chen Yang finished speaking, the teacup in Old Master Wei's hand dropped to the ground.
Old Master Wei stared blankly at Chen Yang, so stunned that he couldn't even speak, only looking at Chen Yang fixedly.
Wei Zhenru, seeing this, immediately reacted, "Grandfather, is Chen Yang telling the truth? Did you forcibly practice any cultivation techniques?"
Awakened by Wei Zhenru, Old Master Wei let out a long sigh after a moment of daze and said, "You are truly a divine physician!"
"If even Zhenru didn't know about this, I would truly suspect that Master Chen and my grandson had conspired beforehand."
"That's right, I did forcibly practice cultivation techniques in the past. When I was out adventuring, without a solid foundation in martial arts, I probably wouldn't have survived to enter this place, let alone establish the Wei family."
"Later, my martial arts were ruined. I thought that after such a long period of recuperation, it would be fine. Little did I expect that Master Chen could see it at a glance!"
