I've Led the Villain Astray, How Do I Fix It?

Chapter 412

The cultivators passing by all wore expressions =口= while looking at Xu Ziyan. If they did not know he was Big Foot Luo's disciple, and Big Foot Luo did not have profound cultivation, they would surely think this person was attempting murder.

That was the quiet room with the highest level of devil energy!!!

For weaker cultivators, the thick devil energy was just like poison. The room's environment was specially designed for research purposes, and the one Xu Ziyan had chosen was enough to make even a golden core cultivator feel uncomfortable.

Of course, considering Big Foot Luo's late-stage nascent soul cultivation, it was impossible to poison him. However, it was inevitable for a cultivator to feel uncomfortable upon entering a room filled with devil energy.

With a swish, the door of the quiet room opened.

Everyone looked in horror as Big Foot Luo, with a face full of joy, rushed forward wanting to hug his disciple— Well, he never had the chance for it, because his other disciple did it first...

Yet, at that moment, Big Foot Luo was in an extremely good mood and did not mind Xu Zirong's slight rudeness. He looked at Xu Ziyan with a big smile, "Where did you get this thing? Do you have more? If we have a few more, the people at the refining hall can surely figure out how this thing is made!"

The surrounding cultivators who were observing instantly pricked up their ears upon hearing that the matter was related to the refining hall.

Xu Ziyan suppressed a smile. Seeing his master's expression like that, that prank was really worth it.

He pretended to casually reach out into the air, rummaging around...

Big Foot Luo's heart also began to beat rapidly.

After fumbling around for quite some time in Mr. Square, upon seeing Big Foot Luo getting impatient, Xu Ziyan finally took out a large handful of over twenty jade pendants and gently shook them, "Not only do I have a lot of these, I also know the method of refining this thing."

Big Foot Luo's eyes suddenly gleamed. He snatched the twenty-or-more jade pendants, "Alright, leave this matter to me, but don't spread this thing around." After saying that, he turned around to find his senior, but before he reached the door, he was stopped by a good-looking old lady.

"Oh, Little Yun, where are you going?"

'Little Yun' Big Foot Luo: ...

Xu Ziyan abruptly turned his head, forcefully pinching his thigh to avoid bursting into laughter. Names, like Little Yun or whatever... Yup, he heard nothing at all!

Big Foot Luo wore an expression of helplessness and respectfully bowed, "Grandma Yuan, long time no see."

The old lady casually waved her hand, "Oh my, why are you calling me grandma? This old lady's not even at your cultivation level, it's reasonable that I should be calling you my senior brother."

Big Foot Luo's expression suddenly changed, "I can't take the title of senior brother from Grandma, it was you who raised me when I was young..."

"Alright, alright," Grandma Yuan impatiently waved her hand, "Each time we meet, it's the same story. I'm tired of it even if you're not. Well, I'm old anyway, so if you like calling me Grandma, go ahead."

Big Foot Luo was speechless, almost choking up due to suffocation. The elderly woman in front of him only had cultivation at the early stage of nascent soul, but she was much older than him. When he first came to Liuguang Sect, she was the one who had been taking care of him. Later, although his cultivation improved, he never dared to call himself senior brother in front of Grandma Yuan.

Grandma Yuan effortlessly defeated the supposedly unreasonable Big Foot Luo, then smiled and extended her hand, saying, "Just now, this old lady seems to have heard something about our refining hall?"

Big Foot Luo was silently resentful, his gaze dark as he looked around. Who was the rascal blabbering so quickly? He had just mentioned it a while ago, so how did they summon this old deity of the refining hall?

"Actually... it's nothing much..." mumbled Big Foot Luo.

Grandma Yuan raised an eyebrow and instantly turned serious, giving a smack on Big Foot Luo's head, "You little radish! Trying to hide things from me in front of my face? You're not that good at it yet! What is it? Do you have something good that you want to hide from me?"

Within a short time, Xu Ziyan turned his head abruptly for the second time, his shoulders shaking uncontrollably. Little Yun earlier was one thing, but what the heck was Little Radish!! Master, you have such adorable nicknames, does the sect leader know about these?

Big Foot Luo was speechless again with a face full of imaginary vertical black lines. Although the blows were not painful, getting beaten in front of his disciple was quite embarrassing...

I'm begging you, Grandma Yuan, have some mercy and save me some face!

"Hmph!" Grandma Yuan might have received a signal from Big Foot Luo's mind. Finally, she stopped. Straightening her hair, she reached out again, "Hurry up and show it! You used my quiet room and still want to hide it from me?"

Big Foot Luo felt depressed and frustrated. He did not expect the jade pendant Xu Ziyan gave him to have such an astonishing effect, so he did not give it much thought earlier. Now, looking back, among the cultivators qualified to possess a room filled with devil energy in the Liuguang Sect's refining hall, apart from the refining master Grandma Yuan, there was no one else.

As an experienced refiner, how could Grandma Yuan not set up some mechanisms in her room? Big Foot Luo was certain that Grandma Yuan had discovered how he used that jade pendant long ago, which was why she arrived so quickly.

"Grandma, this matter hasn't been reported to the sect leader." Big Foot Luo said with a bitter face, but obediently handed over a jade pendant.

Grandma Yuan rolled her eyes, impatiently waving her hand, "I know, I know, this old lady doesn't need an explanation. Keep all of those, just leave one for me. Oh, right, you also leave this kid. Though I'm old, I'm not deaf. He was the one who knew the refining method, right? Since that's the case, don't leave. Let Grandma Yuan properly discipline him!"

Unjustly attacked, Xu Ziyan: ...

Big Foot Luo looked at Xu Ziyan sympathetically, silently lighting up a row of candles for his disciple in his heart. Refining and disciplining... Hehe, do you know how your master got this unreasonable temperament? Don't worry, you'll know in a few days.

Grandma Yuan impatiently smacked Big Foot Luo's head again, "Hurry up and go, don't you have to report this to the sect leader? Why are you dawdling? Worried I'll eat your little disciple?"

Big Foot Luo remained silent for a second, then decisively grabbed Xu Ziyan's hand, "Disciple! Hang in there, Master will come to rescue you in a few days!" After saying that, he turned and swiftly flew away on his sword, his speed almost comparable to the aurora.

Xu Ziyan: =口=

Hold on... Master, explain it clearly, what exactly do you mean by rescuing me? Will I still be alive to see you?! Master, you must hurry back! [Insert Erkang hand meme]

"Hehe..." Grandma Yuan looked pleased as she played with the jade pendant, occasionally lifting her head to look at Xu Ziyan with a kind gaze.

Xu Zirong: _(:3∠)_ Grandma, please don't look at me with that hopeful gaze. I genuinely lack talent in refining.

As it turned out, Xu Ziyan was quite self-aware.

When Grandma Yuan learned that Xu Ziyan knew the refining method for the jade pendant, she naturally assumed he had some talent in refining. Little did she know what serious consequences it would lead to later...

Like purchasing a "Buy 1 Free 1" offer, Grandma Yuan did not mind much about how Xu Zirong followed Xu Ziyan after she took Xu Ziyan away. Considering they were both disciples of Big Foot Luo, if that lad had an interest in refining, she did not mind teaching him. However, what she never expected was that the young lad was not here to learn refining at all. He was always sticking to his brother, completely ignoring everything else.

Yet, the more infuriating thing was that the good-looking young lad made the juniors at the refining hall's hearts flutter, even though he had already restrained his aura to not let anyone know that he was, instead, a powerful nascent soul cultivator. Their failing rate of refining tools unexpectedly increased by thirty percent! Grandma Yuan simply could not tolerate it!

With an elder brother lacking any talent in refining and a younger brother making the refining hall disciples distracted, those two disciples of Little Radish caused quite a headache for the refining hall. →.→

With an expressionless face, Grandma Yuan watched as the furnace was blasted into debris by a purple thunderbolt, her face twitching uncontrollably.

She had seen cultivators with thunder elemental roots before. Yet, someone like Xu Ziyan, who could not use any spells other than those related to thunder, was a bizarre case.

With a wooden expression, Grandma Yuan watched Xu Zirong meticulously use the dust-cleansing technique to remove the furnace ash from his brother's clothes. Xu Zirong was also consoling his elder brother with "It's because the quality of this furnace is poor. It shouldn't have exploded so easily." As he spoke, he was glancing suspiciously at Grandma Yuan, as if it was her fault for presenting something subpar that led to that outcome.

Grandma Yuan could not help, but felt her veins throbbing on her forehead. With great effort, she suppressed the desire to beat those two pesky brats.

Heh heh... Forget about the furnace. Forget about medium-grade magic artifacts. Even if it were a top-grade one, it won't be able to withstand your continuous blasts of Purple Night Divine Thunder!!

Grandma Yuan silently rubbed her forehead. How blind was she back then to think that the pesky brat had talent in refining? He clearly had talent in destroying artifacts!!!

"Go! Go! You two little brats, hurry and find your master!" Grandma Yuan trembled as she pointed at the two wasteful disciples. She really liked that furnace just now, but it was unexpectedly ruined, which really almost angered her to death.

Xu Ziyan secretly stuck out his tongue. He had no choice, and did not ruin the furnace on purpose. Initially, he only wanted to show Grandma Yuan that he had no talent in refining. Who knew that the furnace was so fragile that it shattered with a few casual strikes...

(With a proud face, Little Greenie was bearing the aura of Nine Heavens Profound Thunder! I am that powerful!)

Leaving the refining hall with Xu Zirong, Xu Ziyan felt guilty within. He knew Grandma Yuan wanted to train him. However, firstly, he genuinely had no talent in refining, and secondly, his body condition did not allow him to use any spells apart from thunder-related ones. He did not have the fire core required for refining. Since swallowing Purple Night Divine Thunder, any fire core normal cultivators possessed turned into a thunder core when it came to him...

So, when it came to refining... Xu Ziyan implied that he could not do it! _(:3∠)_
