She looked up and saw a man in his twenties standing in front of a cave, staring at her.
Seeing this, she walked forward and caught a glimpse of the jade identity card on his waist, and also saw the alchemist badge on his chest. She then saluted and said, "Hello, Senior Brother. I'm here to deliver spiritual medicine, but this is my first time here. I don't know which side of Senior Uncle Shangguan's cave is."
In the Danyang Sect, the disciples all addressed each other as senior and junior brothers, regardless of the rank of the alchemists. The only difference was that they had to call each peak master the ancestor, and the peak master's disciples had to be respectfully called uncles.
"Delivering the elixir?" The man stared at Fengjiu, sized her up for a while, and asked, "Wasn't this job originally Junior Brother Guo's? Why did you suddenly change people?"
"It's like this. Senior Brother Guo had to go down the mountain for something urgent, so I was the one delivering the herbs to Senior Uncle Shangguan."
Hearing this, the man nodded and said, "Well, this is your first time here, so don't wander around. Just keep walking along this road. The cave at the end is Uncle Shangguan's cave."
"Thank you, senior brother." She thanked with a smile.
The man glanced at Fengjiu and said, “However, I just saw that Master Shangguan was called away by the master’s Dan Tong. Maybe she is not in the cave now. The cave has a barrier, and Master Shangguan has not taken the Dan Tong away from her. I guess you can’t get in.”
"Ah? Is that so?" She was stunned for a moment, then revealed a simple smile: "It doesn't matter, then I will wait for her outside of Uncle Shangguan's cave. Anyway, I have delivered the herbs from other places, and there is nothing urgent now."
Hearing this, the man coughed lightly, his eyes flickered, and he said, "Actually, you can also leave the herbs here. When Senior Uncle Shangguan comes, I will help you give them to her."
Hearing this, Feng Jiu's eyes moved slightly, and she felt strange in her heart, but she showed a simple smile on her face, pretending that she didn't understand, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm free anyway, it's okay to wait a while, if I let Senior Brother do it for me, it would be my fault, if this delays Senior Brother's work, or if Senior Brother Guo knows that I asked Senior Brother for help, he will definitely scold me."
"This..." The man tried to speak more, but was interrupted by Fengjiu before he could finish his words.
"By the way, Senior Brother, whose cave is this?" She looked at the cave behind the man with curiosity: "It looks so big!"
"My master's surname is Duan, and he is the eldest disciple of Patriarch Sanyang." When saying this, a hint of arrogance appeared between the man's brows.
"So this is Uncle Duan's cave, no wonder it's so extraordinary."
She immediately said with admiration, "I heard that among the disciples of Sanyang Patriarch, Uncle Duan has the highest alchemy level. He is really amazing! Brother, you can become Uncle Duan's disciple. Your alchemy talent must be at the level of a genius. By the way, my name is Fengjiu. I don't know what to call you, brother?"
Hearing Feng Jiu's words, the man's eyebrows became more proud, and even the corners of his mouth couldn't help but slightly raised. He glanced at Feng Jiu, coughed lightly, and then said modestly: "Our Danyang Sect is the first alchemy sect in the eight empires. There are many geniuses in the sect. I am not worthy of the title of genius."
He paused and continued, "When you see me in the future, just call me Brother Hu."
