Chapter 146 Showing Power
“This is the elixir that the island owner asked me to send, and I would like to ask my seniors to take stock of it,” Hu Jinchuan said as he looked at the two monks in front of him.
Ling Yunsheng took the storage bag from the opponent's hand, cracked the restrictions on it, and then handed it over to others after inspecting it with his spiritual consciousness.
The person beside him is none other than Zhu Shen, the third-level alchemist who has been taught by Wei Zhong’s experience.
Although the opponent has been promoted to the third-level alchemy master for decades, it is still quite difficult to refine the third-level middle-grade elixir, let alone the high-grade elixir.
Therefore, the Ling family often purchases such elixirs from Wei Zhong.
After checking with his spiritual consciousness, the other party sighed:
“Fellow Daoist Wei’s alchemy skills are superb, I wonder if I can reach this level in my lifetime?”
Zhu Shen has been concentrating since then. After the elixir failed, it left a shadow. In the following decades, I never thought about forming the elixir. Now I probably only have a few decades of longevity left.
I finally entered the third level of alchemy, but the process is profound and the progress is difficult.
Ling Yunsheng stood aside and didn't know how to comfort him. The other party's alchemy skills were much inferior to Wei Zhonglai's.
Now, as the opponent of the Ling family's alchemy master, the refining efficiency of the third-level elixir is too low, which can only allow the Ling family to maintain a balance of income and expenditure.
So the other party in the Ling family mainly focuses on refining first- and second-level elixirs, or teaches the descendants of the Ling family.
Zhu Shen knew that he was bored and said:
"That's all, I will give the elixir to the master of the family."
Seeing him leaving, Ling Yunsheng said to Hu Jinchuan:
"Young Hu is so favored by Senior Wei that he has given you full authority over the sale of the elixir."
Hu Jinchuan touched his head in embarrassment:
“It’s all thanks to the kindness of the island owner.”
“There are several young people in my Ling family who heard that my little friend came here and wanted to talk to me about it. Let’s get acquainted, I wonder if I can be rewarded.”
Hu Jinchuan looked in the direction pointed by his finger, and immediately saw several young and beautiful women, his face turned red:
"I still have the task of being the island master, so it is inconvenient to stay here, senior. Forgive me."
Ling Yunsheng's expression remained normal: "That's a pity!"
Hu Jinchuan handed over his hand for a moment:
"The elixir has been delivered, and the junior left here. .”
After saying this, Hu Jinchuan flew into the air, stepped on a spiritual boat and fled into the distance.
For elixir-forming forces such as the Ling family, Hu Jinchuan was only the transporter of the elixir, and the reward for the elixir had already been received by Wei Zhong himself.
Therefore, there is no need for him to collect the spiritual stone reward and return.
Ling Yunsheng dispersed the Ling family disciples gathered together with an inexplicable look in his eyes.
The fact that Hu Jinchuan was valued by Wei Zhong was naturally known to everyone in the Ling family. Many elders of the Ling family thought that this person would bring them closer to Wei Zhong, so this came out.
"This Hu Jinchuan is quite shy," Ling Yunsheng couldn't help but feel funny when recalling his reaction just now.
Close the formation in front of you, turn around and fly towards the clan.
Hu Jinchuan, who left the Ling family, breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't see the Ling family's attempts to win over him.
‘But this body of mine was a gift from the owner of the island. It was not earned through my own ability. If I could just enjoy it with this body.
I’m afraid it’s a disaster rather than a blessing. ’
Although Hu Jinchuan is young, he is very clear about such things. This is one of the main reasons why Wei Zhong reuses him.
Hu Jinchuan touched the storage bag in his arms:
"The next stop is to Gang Palace."
There was no Jiexiu blocking the way to the Ling family. Hu Jinchuan breathed a sigh of relief:
“I hope that the next journey will be as smooth as ever.”
······
In a mountain forest dozens of miles away from Hu Jinchuan, the two gathered here.
A man was wearing a white Taoist robe, with a red-eyed crane painted on it, and he was murmuring:
"The news that Taoist friends heard from Zhigang Palace is true? How can you tell? I haven’t seen the qi-refining kid delivering the elixir yet. Opposite him was a female cultivator with an old look, who replied:
"The news is absolutely true. If you don't believe it, Fellow Daoist He, you can leave. I will take all of this windfall."
These words immediately made the male cultivator in the crane robe groan, thinking to himself. :
'This old woman has really lost her rules after being promoted to Danjie. Now she dares to talk to me like this. ’
The old female cultivator’s expression remained normal, and she was not angry at the other person’s groan.
If Wei Zhong and Ling Ziwei were here, they would probably recognize these two "acquaintances".
These two people were the same calamity cultivators that Wei Zhong encountered when he left Mangyuan Mansion.
One of them is Taoist He, a monk in the middle stage of pill formation. Now, more than a hundred years have passed, and the other person is still in the middle stage of pill formation, without any change.
The other elderly female cultivator is the old woman who had several battles with Wei Zhong.
A hundred years ago, the opponent was only in the realm of foundation building, but now he has successfully formed a pill and is in the early stage of pill formation.
The two gathered here and naturally found out the news about Qingbo Island transporting elixirs to various major forces.
Taoist He said:
"The one who transports the elixir is just a small Qi refiner. I wonder why you want to drag the old Taoist along now?"
At this point, the old female cultivator started to do it. Explanation:
"Fellow Taoist Crane, don't be careless. Although the other party is just a Qi Refining monk, he is accompanied by a second-order peak spiritual beast. It is also a bird demon of the second attribute of wind and thunder. It is Master Wei." The contracted spirit beast
escaped extremely fast and exploded with all its strength, no less than the two of us
If he was robbed or killed, he would most likely abandon the Qi Refining child and leave alone with the elixir. From now on, we need you and me to stop it together. "
Hearing what the female cultivator said, Taoist He understood and smiled:
"This Master Wei actually handed over such an important matter to a subordinate who was refining Qi and a bird. Spiritual beasts, they really don’t take us into consideration. "
The female cultivator opposite could not deny it, and obviously had the same attitude.
"Speaking of which, it took a lot of effort for fellow Taoist to find out such information, right? ”
"It's just sending people into the Zhigang Palace. In recent years, it has expanded its power and recruited loose cultivators, and its requirements have been lowered a lot.
If Fellow Daoist He is free, you can join it. , seeking the position of an elder for fun. "
Taoist He is not a fool. He guessed that the person in front of him was installing a foundation or a detailed Qi refining work, so he did not attract his attention to Gang Palace.
And his cultivation in the middle stage of the pill formation will definitely be re-examined by Zhigang Palace, and the identity of the demon cultivator will most likely be exposed.
In the Luohe Mansion of the decent camp, this is no different from a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.
Taoist He complained in his heart and asked:
"I wonder if there are third-level elixirs among the elixirs traded in Zhigang Palace this time?"
"That is natural, otherwise How could I choose this opportunity to rob and kill? It is said that among the elixirs transported by Qingbo Island this time, there are not only third-level low-grade elixirs, but also middle-grade elixirs."
Hearing this. The Taoist's breath was stagnant, and his face turned red with excitement:
"Seriously?"
Demonic cultivators are not easy to mess with in the decent realm. He Dao people migrated all the way from Mangyuan Mansion, and most of them did "business" of robbing foundation-building minor cultivators.
There are few people who target the alchemy monks, and they are worried that they will encounter the same bad thing as last time when a late-level alchemy monk suddenly appeared.
It was not easy to escape from Yan Wanhong last time, Taoist He still remembers it fresh.
"I will try to deceive fellow Taoists. By making this order, you and I will not have to worry about our cultivation resources for decades. Maybe fellow Taoists can take this opportunity to advance to the later stage of elixir formation. Realm."
As soon as these words came out, Taoist He was immediately excited. Suddenly I heard the female cultivator exclaim: "Be careful, that person is coming."
Looking up following his gaze, Taoist He indeed spotted Hu Jinchuan passing by in the distance, and at the same time he also saw the feathered bird on his shoulder.
‘Can such a low-quality monster also possess the power of wind and thunder? ’
He Taoist was confused in his heart, and when he probed with his spiritual consciousness, he wanted to see the difference.
But once it spread to Hu Jinchuan, Jiucai seemed to be aware of it and let out a rapid cry.
"No, this bird is alert. We have been noticed and we will take action quickly." Upon seeing this, Taoist He flew out first, with a long sword in his hand heading straight for the spirit boat in the distance.
Hu Jinchuan was startled when he heard the cry of Jiucai. He quickly squeezed the talisman in his hand and turned around to see two black-robed monks in front of him.
After sensing the other party's aura, I felt a chill in my heart:
"Bi Dan, or two people?"
'What kind of thing did the island owner ask me to give? The spiritual pill actually attracted two pill-forming monks to rob and kill him together. ’
"My life is at stake!"
At the same time, the spiritual talisman in his hand was activated, and the aura spread from the talisman to the spirit boat at his feet.
A layer of hazy golden light suddenly rose up, enveloping the entire spirit boat like an eggshell.
It is difficult for Qi Refining monks to control the third-level spiritual talisman. Even the defensive type is very difficult. If you are not careful, you will hurt yourself.
But Wei Zhongfu used the art of weapon refining and combined it with the talisman technique to allow Hu Jinchuan to use his Qi refining body to cast these third-level talismans.
Taoist He's magic weapon hit the golden light defensive shield, causing it to tremble suddenly and dent half a foot inward.
But the latter had a flash of inspiration and bounced the flying sword away, restoring it to its original state.
“It’s a pretty good turtle shell, but I want to see how long you can last?”
At this time, another elderly female cultivator also arrived and saw the aura defense in front of her. , and also felt hot in my heart.
‘I have been forming pills for decades, but I still don’t have such a powerful defense method. How can you be a qi-refining monk? ’
Xiang Youxin suddenly showed a ferocious look on his face. He picked up a strange magic sword filled with green aura in his hand and stabbed it towards the defensive shield.
Each sword leaves green smoke on the defensive golden shield. Upon closer inspection, these green smoke are eroding the aura defense, continuously reducing its power.
Seeing this appearance, Hu Jinchuan also knew that the defense of this magical talisman would not last long, so he took out the storage bag in his arms and tied it on Jiucai's leg.
patted its wings and warned:
"I will open the defensive cover later. You don't need to worry about my safety. Just run away with this storage bag."
< br>
Jiucai waved its wings nonchalantly, revealing a silver thumb ring covered under it.
Hu Jinchuan seemed to be confused, and suddenly saw a dazzling silver light emitting from it. He had to close his eyes and use his hands to block it in front of him.
The two people outside the defensive barrier were shocked when they saw this change. When the silver light dissipated, they saw a white-robed monk appearing among them.
From a glimpse of his face, it seems to be somewhat similar to the owner of Qingbo Island.
Hu Jinchuan looked at the person in front of him with some disbelief:
"Island owner?"
Wei Zhong, or Wei Zhong's distracted puppet, looked back at Hu Jinchuan and said:
"Well done."
< br>Then his figure flashed and passed through the defensive shield to the outside world.
Looking at the two robbery cultivators in front of him with a bit of sigh, he murmured:
"It's fate, I didn't expect to see you two here."
Wei Zhong had already recognized the demon cultivator in front of him who had robbed and killed the merchant guild.
‘One is in the middle stage of pill formation, and there is another in the early stage of pill formation. I didn't expect that the old foundation-building lady would have a chance to form a pill. Speaking of which, she still had some grudges against her. ’
Wei Zhong remembered that he had killed the opponent’s close relatives.
The two of them were also shocked when they saw the monk who suddenly appeared in front of them: "Are you the master of Qingbo Island? Have you seen me two?"
At the same time, they secretly wondered why there was such a pill-forming monk here. Could it be that he was hiding inside the spirit boat, but the two of them didn't notice the aura of the monk inside it just now.
The two did not understand the details.
In fact, Wei Zhong's puppet body has always stayed within the finger-pulling magic weapon. This is a magic weapon that Wei Zhong specially refined for the distraction puppet according to the description in the inherited jade slip.
"Not only have I met you two, but I have also fought against you two."
"Fighted against you?" Taoist He was confused, and suddenly heard a reminder from the female cultivator behind him.
"Fellow Taoist, be careful!"
When he came back to his senses, the owner of Qingbo Island had appeared in front of him, and his arm was like a long sword thrust towards his face.
‘So fast! ’
It turns out that when Wei Zhong spoke, he was the first to launch the offensive.
According to the Soaring Cloud runes engraved on the puppet's body and the spiritual power provided by the psychic core, the puppet's escape speed is almost the same as that of Wei Zhong's original body.
Without thinking, Taoist He raised the magic sword in his hand and stood it in front of him.
A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: ‘Can you still compete with my magical sword in a mortal body? ’
As long as Wei Zhong does not change his attack movements, he will definitely be injured by his magic sword. In serious cases, half of his palm may be cut off.
But what is here now is not Wei Zhong himself, but a puppet made of high-level spiritual materials. Except for the thin outer layer of flesh, there is no weakness in his body.
The arm goes straight forward without any change.
Taoist He watched helplessly as the opponent's palm touched the magic sword, and then he peeled away the superficial flesh and blood, and then revealed the silver-white "skeleton".
What followed was great strength. "Skeleton" directly crushed the magic sword to the left side of his face, cutting off half of his flesh and blood, and then gouged out one of his eyes.
“Ah!”
He Taoist screamed in pain.
The female cultivator on the side had already arrived and pulled his body back.
Seeing the opponent's injuries again, he was immediately horrified.
"A monk in the middle stage of pill formation was seriously injured by one blow? Is there any mistake? Isn't this Qingbo Island Master in the early stage of pill formation? Or is the other party hiding his strength?"
< br>Taoist He groaned in pain, and looked at Wei Zhong angrily with his other remaining eye, spitting out word by word:
"Physical cultivation in the later stage of pill formation?"
Able to take the physical body The monks who insist on defending their own alchemy treasures, who are they if they are not practicing in the late stage of alchemy?
Taoist He never expected that after years of robbing, he would offend such a late-stage Dan-forming monk.
