Chapter 123 Trouble
In a stone house in the Five Elements Hall of the Five Elements Peak, Wu Yan sat cross-legged on a stone couch in the room, while Lei Chuang stood respectfully beside the stone couch, saying something to Wu Yan with a flattering expression on his face.
Wu Yan's expression was always indifferent, and he did not comment on what Lei Chuang said. This attitude made Lei Chuang feel uneasy, and he did not understand what Wu Yan wanted.
"Uncle Wu, this is the situation. Elder Jin, Uncle Feng, Uncle Mo, Uncle Tian and others have all escaped from the cave of the ancient cultivator. I heard that they will be back soon. However, there seems to be a rumor in the sect recently that Elder Jin and others got a rare treasure in the cave of the ancient cultivator. I heard that an old ancestor of our sect took a fancy to this treasure and sent disciples to negotiate with Elder Jin for it. But Elder Jin and the other four do not seem to admit that they have obtained any rare treasure. The old ancestor seems to be quite dissatisfied with this. This time when Elder Jin comes back, I am afraid he will have to go to Baoxiao Peak where the old ancestor is in seclusion." Lei Chuang said to Wu Yan with a worried look on his face.
Just now, Lei Chuang told Wu Yan everything that happened in the sect during the past few years when Wu Yan was in seclusion. Finally, he mentioned something that made Wu Yan happy and worried.
Wu Yan frowned and pondered for a long time, looking at Lei Chuang without saying anything. Lei Chuang was embarrassed under Wu Yan's gaze, and he often lifted his sleeves to wipe the cold sweat on his head.
"Well, very good. These Qi-boosting pills have no effect on me anymore, so you can keep them. As for the foundation-building pill, I see that you are practicing a fire-attributed technique. Here are some materials for refining the foundation-building pill. As long as you can collect all the materials, I will start the furnace to help you refine it. However, you must remember that you must never mention this to anyone. In addition, you'd better buy a few more inner pills of second-level monsters with fire attributes. This is extremely important for the success of refining the fire-attributed foundation-building pill."
After a long while, Wu Yan finally nodded and handed Lei Chuang the dozens of bottles of low-level Qi-boosting pills that Lei Chuang had offered earlier, along with a jade slip with the materials for the fire-attributed foundation-building pill.
Lei Chuang showed a hint of ecstasy on his face, and respectfully stepped forward a few steps, took the jade slip in his hand, and bowed to thank him. Previously, Wu Yan had promised to help him get the fire-attributed foundation-building pill, but he didn't quite believe it. After all, Wu Yan was a cultivator in the foundation-building period. The price of this foundation-building pill was high, and for a cultivator in the foundation-building period, it was also a huge sum of money. Now that Wu Yan gave him a set of materials and asked him to purchase and prepare them himself, he felt relieved. What made him even more grateful and relieved was that Wu Yan not only did not care about his previous recklessness and rudeness, but instead rewarded him with a large number of Qi-boosting pills. These Qi-boosting pills were all the offerings that Wu Yan deserved in the past few years. Although they were no longer of much use to him, since he had taken them back, he could have sold them to get a small amount of spiritual stones. Unexpectedly, he did not do so, but instead gave himself these Qi-boosting pills.
"Thank you, Uncle Wu! I wonder if Uncle Wu has any other instructions? If not, I will go back and prepare the materials according to this pill recipe." Lei Chuang asked respectfully.
"Well, nothing's wrong, go ahead. If the people at Fire Spirit Peak ask you what you said to me, you don't need to hide anything except the matter of the foundation-building pill, just tell them the truth." Wu Yan waved his hand.
Lei Chuang agreed, then bowed to Wu Yan again and left. A moment later, within the range of his divine sense, Wu Yan realized that Lei Chuang had walked to the mountain protection spirit formation, so he waved the formation flag in his hand, and the formation cracked a gap. Lei Chuang's face lit up and he walked out of the gap. After he left, the gap closed automatically.
Wu Yan sat cross-legged on the stone couch in the house, closed his eyes and meditated, as if thinking about something extremely difficult to decide. The expression on his face was sometimes worried and sometimes determined.
What happened today was somewhat beyond his expectations.
After killing Zhao Dong and Zhuge Ji, he sent a sound transmission note to the direction of Yin Yang Palace, briefly mentioned the matter, hoping that the head of the sect could come forward to deal with it.
However, in the end, the headmaster Zhenxuzi did not show up, and soon after, it was the chief disciples of Jinlingfeng and Huolingfeng who came to the Five Elements Peak.
Combined with what Lei Chuang said just now, a subtle conspiracy gradually lingered in this matter.
Wu Yan expected that the disciples of Huolingfeng would come so quickly. After all, before Zhao Dong was killed, he crushed a jade slip, which should be the jade slip that the disciples of Huolingfeng asked for help from this peak when they encountered an emergency.
But why did the disciples of Jinlingfeng arrive at the same time? Zhuge Ji did not seem to be a true disciple of Jinlingfeng, he was just a nominal disciple. Moreover, before he died, he did not have any chance to send a distress signal to Jinlingfeng.
Could it be that the headmaster Zhenxuzi sent a message to Jinlingfeng? Why didn't he come here to see it in person, but chose to do so?
Could it be that he wanted the situation to continue to escalate and the contradictions to continue to expand?
That's not right. If that's the case, why didn't Jin Jian take action, but instead led the disciples of Jinling Peak to collect Zhuge Ji's body and leave?
Since Master Jin and Senior Brother Mo have successfully escaped, why haven't they returned after such a long time?
These questions are now bothering Wu Yan, causing him to feel a sense of uneasiness that is difficult to suppress. He always feels that something seems to be wrong.
After pondering for a long time, Wu Yan could only shake his head and walked out of the stone house of the Five Elements Hall. He drove the Molin Sword and came to the thirty-two black viper vines in the medicine garden again.
If what Lei Chuang said was true, Master Jin and Senior Brother Mo should be able to return to the Five Elements Peak soon. He should also sort out some things in the medicine garden. Otherwise, if Master Jin comes back and sees them, he may not like them. For example, these thirty-two first-level black viper vines.
Thinking of this, Wu Yan had a headache again. This demon vine belongs to the plant-type monster. The demon plant-type monster is different from the monster beast. The innate cultivation is much slower. When the monster beast is promoted to the second level, the demon pill can be condensed in the head and start to use the demon pill for cultivation. The demon plant-type monster will only condense a pill core in the rhizome when it is promoted to the fourth level. With this pill core, the demon plant-type monster can change its size at will and move freely away from the ground. Demonic plants before level 4 cannot survive without soil.
If you want to get rid of these demonic vines, you must get a special magic tool that can collect these demonic plants and allow them to continue to survive. For example, the spirit beast bag is a special magic tool used to collect and raise spirit beasts. In the world of immortal cultivation, demonic plants are very rare, so special magic tools that can collect and raise demonic plants are also very rare.
After thinking about it, Wu Yan walked out of the medicine garden. He did not return to the Five Elements Cave, but directly broke through the magic circle, stepped on the Mo Lin sword, and went to the Fire Phoenix Mountain Market.
