XIAO SHUXIANG'S

109 - Unexpected Impression [Revised]

Xiao Shuxiang, Yi Wen and Feng Ying said goodbye to the Village Chief of Green Stone as well as the citizens.

They could not stay over as they had to immediately return to the Sky Sword Sect to take care of something.

"Express, beware..! And thank you for helping us.."

"That's No Problem, Uncle. Protecting people is our job... Hehe" Jing Mi scratched her head and looked grim. His actions made the upper lip of Xiao Shuxiang and Yi Wen twitch.

"The Village Chief thanks us, not you Brother Jing." Yi Wen pinched hard at Jing Mi's arm, she was annoyed that her brother took the remark he should have made.

After bidding farewell to Xue Long and his family-Xiao Shuxiang, Yi Wen and his friends began to climb their flying swords.

Simultaneously while setting foot in the Sky Sword Sect, Xiao Shuxiang's flying sword shattered into pieces. This incident jolted his friends.

"What are your weapons, my brother?"

Xiao Shuxiang rubbed his face, he did not answer Jing Mi's question. He only said he would report about his mission first as well as ask for a new flying sword.

The Heaven Sword Sect disciple on duty received the mission report in shock as Xiao Shuxiang exposed the hilt of his sword and asked for a new one.

"It's an heirloom sword, how could it possibly be destroyed with just Qi flowing? Did You Gnaw it?!"

"You think Xiao Shuxiang what, huh?!"

"Silence, Brother..." Jing Mi gently patted Xiao Shuxiang on the shoulder, she then requested that the Heaven Sword Sect disciple give the new sword to his brother.

After obtaining a substitute for his sword, Xiao Shuxiang and his companions began to go to the Rest Hall.

While filling their stomachs, they arranged the construction preparations for the Butterfly Sect, for two more days-Ethics Training would be closed.

Jing Mi explained that the location she found had three damaged and uninhabitable houses.

"The house is hidden in the woods, we just need to build a new one.."

Xiao Shuxiang listened to Jing Mi's explanation until it was over. There was no comment whatsoever, they all agreed with the location that Jing Mi said.

The next morning, when Xiao Shuxiang was intending to visit Yang Shu.. Suddenly something almost hit his head. Fortunately, Xiao Shuxiang was quick to catch that thing.

"Hm?" Xiao Shuxiang was astonished, when he found out that what he caught was a shoe and just next door.

While looking around, Xiao Shuxiang tried to find the person who had thrown his shoes next to him. Honey, no one looks like they lost a shoe.

An idea came to his mind. He knew how to leave an impression at once as a farewell to the outer sect disciples and the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

!!

That day, the entire outer sect disciples including some disciples of the Heaven Sword Sect swarmed somewhere.

They saw the announcement paper that was stuck almost on every wall of the building and also the trees.

The announcement read that Xiao Shuxiang was in a good mood. So, he set up a game looking for the owner of the shoe who almost hit his head.

"... 'Whoever fits in these shoes, I will grant him one wish. The opportunity is only once..! You're not going to reject an Alchemist, are you?.'.."

"The boy is arrogant... He was staying with the Third Patriarch..!" Sian Ru grieved, she then invited her friends to go somewhere else. Unfortunately, when Sian Ru turned her head... He found no one beside him.

"Huh?! Did they all go to meet that little monster..?!" Sian Ru was almost speechless. In his opinion, Xiao Shuxiang started looking face to face at everyone.

Elsewhere, under one of the peach trees. More precisely in the courtyard of the Rest Hall, it appeared that Xiao Shuxiang and Jing Mi were sitting on a red cloth spread out.

In front of them, many outer sect disciples lined up in line to try next to the shoes found by Xiao Shuxiang.

"Brother Xiao, he's a match..!" Jing Mi exclaimed as a male student had feet that fit the shoes that Xiao Shuxiang had found.

When asked, the student did not lose any shoes at all. Xiao Shuxiang nodded softly, he then requested that the disciple sit in front of him.

"So, what's your request?"

The disciple smiled, he then whispered Xiao Shuxiang his wish. "What... Can you make a body-raising pill?"

?!

Xiao Shuxiang looked at the disciple while blinking a few times. Did he not hear wrong?

"You sure that's what you want?"

"Can't it be..?"

Xiao Shuxiang smiled widely, he then took out four bright yellow pills clamped between his fingers.

"You want orange, spicy, peach, or lotus..?!" Xiao Shuxiang was so proud to say that this pill was the result of a failure from making his other pills.

"You sure it's edible?"

"Of course, which one do you want?"

The student chose a pill that tasted spicy. He was surprised, because Xiao Shuxiang's pill was so delicious.

"The spicy taste is fitting. It's actually.. Pills or candy..?"

"You can mean anything, it's already there..! I still have a lot of patients.."

The disciple sat beside Xiao Shuxiang while waiting for the reaction of the pill he ate. Xiao Shuxiang said it took about five minutes for the results to show.

Throughout the day, Xiao Shuxiang completely stopped the Ethics Learning activities due to the competition he held.

In fact, some of the masters of the Heaven Sword Sect also took part in trying on the shoes found by Xiao Shuxiang.

Unlike the disciples who asked to be made pills for their appearance, the masters of the Heaven Sword Sect wanted Xiao Shuxiang to share his pill concocting knowledge.

"Yes, if you don't believe.. But that's how I concocted. Next up?!"

The student who fits the shoes is Sian Ru, he cut a lot of queues to be able to directly meet the child who has made his sect like this.

"Even the teachers were also influenced by him, you little monster..!!" Sian Ru tried to hold back her emotions, she then threw something right in front of Xiao Shuxiang.

"I want you to make pills with those ingredients. Prove that you are an Alchemist..!"

!!

All of the disciples present instantly set their sights on Xiao Shuxiang. They sensed Sian Ru was challenging Xiao Shuxiang right now.

"Huh, hahaha..! All right, you got an interesting wish,"

Xiao Shuxiang looked at the concoction material that Sian Ru had thrown earlier. These five types of herbs were about three years old, too young with the age of the plants that Xiao Shuxiang used to use.

Xiao Shuxiang asked Jing Mi to get Grandma Nian's little pot for her. He could have actually made the pill directly with his blue flame, yet Xiao Shuxiang wanted to slightly prank Sian Ru.

The teachers of the Heaven Sword Sect, one of which was Lan Gaozu seemed to be seriously watching as Xiao Shuxiang refined the herbs belonging to Sian Ru.

Sian Ru and the other disciples also looked serious. They did not even realize that the First Patriarch, the Third Patriarch, as well as Patriarch Lan were among them and witnessed all of this.

Xiao Shuxiang stuffed the herbs he had smoothed into the pot then added water.

!!

"That's Not Right, You're Wrong..!" Lan Gaozu reprimanded Xiao Shuxiang, the disciple who often read the recipe book also reprimanded him. They said the pills would not be.

"You cook it with regular fire won't make it into a pill. Moreover, you added materials that shouldn't exist,"

"You suck!" Xiao Shuxiang asked that everyone shut up and see what would happen, only then could they comment.

Xiao Shuxiang gave a hint of his blue flame into an ordinary flame that burned a pot.

Instantly, the pot let out a loud noise. As if preparing to explode.

The sound of the pot suddenly stopped, along with the shrinking fire. Thick white smoke was seen swirling around inside the pot.

Sian Ru, the curious teachers and disciples looked closer towards the pot. With three counts, the pot spewed a pungent white smoke that made Sian Ru choke.

"You-You're Stabbing Us..?!"

"It's your fault for being too close," Xiao Shuxiang sneered, he then took out two pills inside the pot.

!!

"He really did it..!"

The pill that was in Xiao Shuxiang's hands was dark green and black. Both have different properties, even though they come from the same ingredients.

Dark green colored pills were bone strengthening pills, while the other one was a strange pill with the nourishing properties of a beard.

"Don't think you can make pills the way I do now. You need to know, only I can do this."

Xiao Shuxiang said it so seriously, he could see that there were some people who were beginning to show their true nature.

"..But if you don't believe me, you can try."

"You better not think of imitating it, make your own way."

!!

"PATRIARCH LAN?!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard Patriarch Lan's voice, especially after seeing that not only Patriarch Lan existed, but also the First Patriarch and the Third Patriarch.

"Since When..?!"

"So.. Who is to blame..? You all gathered here and broke the Sect Rules.." Patriarch Lan smiled amiably, yet the teachers and disciples felt a pain in their throats.

"You're too much to punish, but it's not a problem. There are First and Third Patriarchs who will help me, so take their respective places now.."

Patriarch Lan's voice contained absolutely no anger, a smile continued to adorn his face. But his speech contained an order that should not be denied.

Xiao Shuxiang made all the teachers and disciples of the Heaven Sword Sect as well as the outer sect disciples have to receive thirty lashes from the three Patriarchs.

The only disciple who was not punished was Lan Guan Zhi. He exhaled softly and continued to watch his friends get mass lashes.

The three Patriarchs stood quietly, they only used Qi to whip all the teachers and disciples who had broken the rules.

"Sa-Brother Xiao, it's all your fault, Akh!" Jing Mi tried to endure the pain from the lash directed at her back.

"Hahaha, isn't this a good parting gift, Brother Jing?" Xiao Shuxiang instead laughed happily. He had forgotten the pain from the whipping of the three Patriarchs.

"But I'm still curious about the owner of that shoe, akh!" Xiao Shuxiang let out a little scream as one of the lashes hit the folds of his buttocks.

"That Shoe belongs to me..!!"

?!

Xiao Shuxiang and Jing Mi immediately turned their heads when they heard the voice of a disciple who was among them.

"Dai Chen?!"
