Pill Cauldron Sect’s Patriarch

Mu Yu crouched down to assess Alchemist Yao’s condition. “He’ll be all right.”

“I know,” replied Cai Lie, taking Yao Wuji’s hand. “Thanks.”

“There’s no need for us to thank each other.”

“You knew about Shifu’s plan, didn’t you?”

Mu Yu bobbed his head and swept his gaze around. “Alchemist Yao is a noble. I want all of you to remember that he did what he did for your futures. Since those he tried to protect courageously stood up for what’s right, he could end his act. Though he came close to assassinating Shi Dengtian, Qian Shange and Wan Yaoshui were too much for him and almost killed him.”

“I should’ve known better. I let my anger cloud my mind. It’s my fault.” Daoist Yun Dan shook his head in guilt.

“Patriarch, you do not need to beat yourself up. If he could deceive you, he could deceive Shi Dengtian, true?” Mu Yu comforted.

“It is true, but I still owe him.”

Mu Yu stood up. “Pill Cauldron Sect is now unrecognisable; however, there are survivors out there. You should check on the situation, Patriarch.”

“Understood. Please send us outside, Mu Yu.”

Xiaoshuai rode Xiaohei and Xiaobai over to meet Mu Yu. Dabai and Dahei emerged from Mu Yu’s body, swirling overhead. Xiaoshuai then teleported a group outside, while Mu Yu teleported Cai Lie and Yao Wuji back to Mystic Rainbow Peak. In regards to Shi Dengtian, Mu Yu ordered a disciple to watch over the former outside.

Mu Yu constructed a small wooden hut for Yao Wuji to rest in, openly displaying his wood control abilities, since Mystic Rainbow Peak was decimated. Cai Lie did not ask about the ability for some things did not need to be explicated.

“When I was instated as patriarch decades ago, I was bursting at the seams with motivation to develop Pill Cauldron Sect well. Less than a month after I was instated, Junior Brother Ku Mu entered the sacred grounds and was acknowledged as Revealing Cauldron’s owner.

“You can probably imagine how stunned I was when I felt Pill Cauldron Formation Seal trying to punch its way out of my body to go to Junior Brother Ku Mu. Of course, I realised that I might have to step back down to let him take over as patriarch.”

“That is what you mean by not wanting to make things difficult for you?”

“Yes.”

Typical of Dad, leaving Miao Yuyan the same way and always prioritising others, Mu Yu thought.

“His alchemy gifts surpassed mine, and he studied formations. After procuring ownership of Revealing Cauldron, he chose to learn ‘Pill Heart Style’ to end his life as an alchemist, switching to researching poison so that I couldn’t pass the seat on to him.”

“In other words, Dad never meant to quit alchemy and only did so to avoid putting you on the spot?” Mu Yu asked, thinking, You can count on Dad to put up an act.
