Chapter 164: Mistaken the Chief for Bu Qi (2)

Translator: Guy Gone Bad

“Although those things are all treasures from heaven and earth that possess strong spiritual power, they are nothing if you don’t use them in the right place. So the chief displays them in here only to tell people to steal them because he is rich.”

‘Bu Qi’, “…”

“He even displays the refining furnace on it? Isn’t it a waste?” Rong Yi took up an eight-pointed furnace and whispered into ‘Bu Qi’’s ears, “In the whole treasure cabinet, this furnace should be the best quality. We can steal it back. I can teach you how to refine magic weapons with it. Of course, it’d be great if you can ask the chief to give it to you willingly.”

‘Bu Qi’, “…”

Rong Yi then put it back, saying while looking around, “I found that the Infinite Dragon-locking Formation set in the hall is not bad. I can improve it and use it on my new house after we go back. Even if Qi Lan who is in Mahayana phase breaks in, I can still trap him in the formation for his whole life. Hum!”

‘Bu Qi’ then asked, “How are you going to improve it?”

Rong Yi pointed at the White Tiger, Rosefinch and Black Turtle in the formation on the wall and said, “Change the positions of those three mythical creatures and lock the Azure Dragon in the middle. That’d make it real Infinite Dragon-locking Formation. No one can come out after entering into it.”

“Bu Qi’ looked at the formation on the wall, surprised, “So the formation can be modified?”

“Hmm. It’d only work after changing the grain on the runes.”

“But how?”

“I’ll tell you after we go back.”

‘Bu Qi’, “…”

After making a whole big round in the hall, Rong Yi said to ‘Bu Qi’, “Why hasn’t the chief arrived? I will go if he doesn’t come later.”

‘Bu Qi’ wanted to say something but didn’t know how, “Well…”

On thinking of his purpose here today, Rong Yi said, “Oh right, are you quite familiar with the chief?”

“Oh…kind of.”

“When I beg him not to offer Tianxu Peak to someone else later, you speak for me and let him leave it to me.”

‘Bu Qi’ then said, “But you have not reached the Golden Elixir phase yet. Even if your father is the peak leader, you can not inherit it. Besides, even if the chief agrees, other elders might say no.”

“So you are trying to say the chief is only a puppet. The real power is in those elders’ hands?”

The corner of ‘Bu Qi’’s eyes twitched, “You can not say that.”

“Actually I don’t have to inherit it myself. You can ask the chief to leave it to my senior brother. He is at the Golden Elixir phase. He should be qualified, right? After all, as a cultivator of Golden Elixir phase, he should have his own abode now. Then those disciples of my father also have a place to stay. If you are not confident enough to convince the chief, you can ask Immortal Yunyi to take the message for you.”

‘Bu Qi’ frowned, “Immortal Yunyi? Do you think he is gonna help?”

“Having set me up for so many times, shouldn’t he repay me now? And, my son is his disciple. He is also helping his disciple’s daddy. Besides, he owes me a big one. It is time for him to pay off his debt.”

“What does he owe you?”

Rong Yi rolled his eyes at him, “Don’t play dumb!”

‘Bu Qi’, “…”

Rong Yi suddenly clapped his own forehead, “Yesterday my grandfather said he is coming with me. I totally forgot!”

‘Bu Qi’ then said, “He should have known you are already here. Within half an hour, he will be here.”

“That’d be great.”

‘Bu Qi’ said, “Before the chief is here, can you tell me how to change the grain of the runes?”

Rong Yi said blandly, “Just write the runes in reverse.”

‘Bu Qi’ was surprised? In reverse?

He then thought of the formation in his head, eyes narrowed. Soon he said with his eyes wide open, “If writing the runes in reverse, the formation could only be unlocked from inside. So only the one outside could break it. The harder the one inside tries to break the formation, the tighter he’d be trapped in.”

Rong Yi said with a smile, “Yeah, that’s what I am trying to do.”

“Great idea! How did you come up with it?”

“You don’t have to know.”

Seeing he didn’t want to tell, ‘Bu Qi’ could only lead him to other formations, “Look at this one. See if there is any place to improve.”

Rong Yi looked at him helplessly, “You want to help the chief change the formations?”

“Any problem of that?”

Rong Yi rolled his eyes at him, “This is not your place. Why are you so active trying to modify it? Even if the enemies come, the one under attack is the chief, not you.”

‘Bu Qi’, “…”

Rong Yi then continued, “That’s more like it if he could leave Tianxu Peak to me after I change the formation for him.”

“You can claim your credit.”

“But maybe he won’t appreciate it. You know he is the chief. He should be very powerful and doesn’t need any formation to protect himself.”

‘Bu Qi”, “…”

Though he said so, he still taught ‘Bu Qi’ how to improve it.
