Dragon marrow, to put it bluntly, is the marrow of a dragon. However, although the dragon clan once dominated the world, there were not many dragon corpses living outside. On the one hand, the number of dragons is small. Even in its most prosperous period, the number was in the tens of thousands at most. On the other hand, it is said that when dragons are about to die, they will return to the dragon tomb in their ancestral land. The very few who cannot return will be taken back and buried by fellow dragons.
For the dragon clan, the most severe punishment is that they are not allowed to enter the ancestral land after death. However, in the long history of this world, it can be said that very few dragons have been punished in this way. Even some of them are often pardoned after death and return to the Dragon Clan's ancestral land.
Therefore, it is almost impossible to find the remains of a dragon in this Shenhua Realm. And this dragon marrow naturally becomes even more rare because of this.
If such a small bottle of dragon marrow was put up for auction, even those Alchemy Masters would go crazy for it. Its value may be a bit false to say it is priceless, but if it is used to exchange for Alchemy Saint to take a shot, there is basically no problem.
However, it was such a bottle of priceless treasure that Jin Hongze was reluctant to use a drop until his death, but Ye Zan threw it directly to Xiao Jin.
After getting Ye Zan's consent, Xiao Jin looked very happy, and his slender body immediately put the jade bottle up. Its little head reached the mouth of the bottle. It was obviously a snake, but like a kitten licking water, it used the snake letter to lick the dragon marrow inside bit by bit.
However, after licking it a few times, Xiao Jin seemed to be drunk and fell asleep with his head on the mouth of the bottle.
Ye Zan put the small gold and jade bottle aside, and continued to organize Jin Hongze's collection. But what followed was nothing too precious, just a few magic weapons of acceptable quality, and two magic weapons of low quality.
Those magic weapons were actually components of the legendary Thirty-Third Heaven. However, judging from the refining techniques and materials, they are no different from those on the market. It is estimated that Jin Hongze was also deceived.
As for the two magic weapons, one is the Five Elements Stake and the other is the Right Heart Seal. The Five Elements Stake is used to determine the Five Elements Escape Technique, which can invalidate the opponent's Escape Technique, but the effect also depends on one's own quality and the opponent's cultivation level. The Right Heart Seal is a magic weapon used to resist inner demons and not be disturbed when refining elixirs.
This Zhengxin Seal is just for Liu Qian, and the Five Elements Stake is for Qi Qianjun! Ye Zan distributed these two magic weapons again.
Although those magical instruments with components of the 33rd Heaven cannot truly form the 33rd Heaven, their quality is still pretty good. Ye Zan plans to use these magical artifacts as rewards for Yuqing disciples after returning to Yuqing Sect.
After Ye Zan finished packing his things, he came out of the jade ball space. Not long after, he heard Qi Qianjun and Liu Qian rushing over.
"Elder Ye, have you heard that old man Jin Hongze is dead!" Liu Qian said with joy as soon as he saw Ye Zan.
Liu Qian hated Jin Hongze to the core of his heart. Originally, he had rectified his name at the Alchemy Conference, so he didn't bother to talk to Jin Hongze anymore. Who would have thought that Jin Hongze actually hired an assassin to kill him. If Ye Zan hadn't taken action, he might have died.
Therefore, when Liu Gan heard that something happened to Jin Hongze, he couldn't care less about whether the deceased was bigger or smaller. Anyway, he just felt "happy" in his heart.
"Well, I heard about it. You two come in with me and I have something for you." Ye Zan nodded calmly and called Liu Qian and Qi Qianjun into the room.
Liu Qian was still a little surprised. Ye Zan was also assassinated, so why did he seem so indifferent to Jin Hongze's death. However, he didn't hesitate to ask more questions, and followed Qi Qianjun into Ye Zan's room with a curious face.
"Old Liu, these things are for you." Ye Zan said, touching the Qiankun Ring on his hand, and a bunch of things suddenly appeared on the ground.
Of these things, the most conspicuous one is the Qingling Cauldron. The Qingling Cauldron is not a great magical alchemy furnace, but it is well-known among alchemy cultivators. It is considered to be the best alchemy furnace available on the market.
When Liu Qian saw the things next to the Qingling Cauldron clearly, his eyes suddenly widened even more, and his mouth was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. He pointed at the pile of things and said: "This, this, these things, how could they... "
"Oh, don't be so surprised. Didn't something happen to Jin Hongze? I thought I wouldn't waste it, so I took all these things back." Ye Zan explained disapprovingly.
"This, Elder Ye, is it you?" Liu Qian didn't know what to say.
"It has nothing to do with me, I'm just a spectator watching the show." Ye Zan said jokingly.
Although Ye Zan said so, Liu Qian and Qi Qianjun both had some vague guesses. Jin Hongze and Jiang Ziliu's master and apprentice turned against each other, and I'm afraid it has nothing to do with Ye Zan. However, they couldn't imagine what Ye Zan did in this matter and how he did it.
Of course, even if Ye Zan didn't say anything, Liu Qian and Qi Qianjun wouldn't be able to ask more questions. As for the pile of things, Liu Qian knew Ye Zan's character, so he didn't refuse much. After thanking him, he all received his own Qiankun Ring.
When Liu Gan collected everything, Ye Zan touched the Qiankun Ring again and took out the things for Qi Qianjun. However, there were not many things given to Qi Qianjun, just some materials for refining weapons and the five elements pile, a magic weapon.
"Thank you, uncle." Qi Qianjun didn't show any pretense and put away the weapon refining materials and the five elements piles.
After dividing the things, Ye Zan clapped his hands and said, "Okay, this time, there is nothing going on in this ancient city. You go back and prepare. Let's go back to the sect in a few days."
"Well, after being out for so long, it's really time to go back." Liu Qian nodded.
Indeed, Ye Zan and Liu Qian came to attend the Alchemy Conference and originally planned to return to Yuqing Sect after the Alchemy Conference. Unexpectedly, Ye Zan and Qi Qianjun wereted so much time in the restricted area for the so-called exotic stones. After finally getting out, I thought I should go back, but Jin Hongze jumped out again to cause trouble.
Now, Jin Hongze and Jiang Ziliu are also dead, the theater has been established, and an alliance has been formed with the Wuliang Sect. Things in the Southern Territory are almost done. Ye Zan has just been promoted to the Golden Core Realm, and he really needs to go back to Yuqing Sect to consolidate his cultivation.
However, leaving does not mean leaving right away. Ye Zan still has to wait to watch another scene to see how far the scene between Gu Cheng and the Hongchen Assassin will go. It's a pity that there is no way to give out the list in his hand, otherwise it will definitely give Hongchen a heavy blow.
That night, Yan Xinghe and other ancient city controllers directly opened the ban on the ancient city, and no one was allowed to enter or exit at will. Qianli Chuanyin also made meritorious deeds again. Several forces that got the news in time immediately sent their Nascent Soul Ancestors to lead teams to assist Yan Xinghe and others in the ancient city.
As soon as teams from several forces arrived at the ancient city, they immediately began to search the entire city. Chang Qingchuan failed to escape in time and was caught red-handed and brought to Yan Xinghe and others.
"Chang Qingchuan, tell us the list of assassins in the city, and we can spare your life." Yan Xinghe said in a deep voice.
Chang Qingchuan smiled bitterly, never expecting that things would develop to this point. However, it is impossible for him to sell those assassins. It is not about loyalty or professional ethics, but betraying Hongchen will lead to a worse death.
"Grandmaster Yan, as you all know, it is impossible for me to do that." Chang Qingchuan said helplessly.
"Well, how about Jiang Ziliu?" Yan Xinghe and others asked again. They were actually very confused about the antagonism between Jin Hongze and Jiang Ziliu.
"Well, how should I put it? Jiang Ziliu came to me and asked for a contact to help him get rid of Jin Hongze, so I helped him contact a person. I didn't expect that it would end up like this." Chang Qingchuan said very depressed, Then he told Yan Xinghe and others in detail about Jiang Ziliu's visit to him.
After listening to Chang Qingchuan's story, Yan Xinghe and others realized that everything seemed to stem from the loss of the deposit. However, no one can tell whether the deposit was really lost. After all, Jin Hongze and Jiang Ziliu are both dead.
Moreover, Jin Hongze self-destructed his Nascent Soul, and in that kind of explosion, the Qiankun Ring would be turned into ashes. Therefore, everyone did not delve into the whereabouts of Jin Hongze's Qiankun Ring.
And Chang Qingchuan's words can be regarded as the final conclusion of this matter. This is indeed a human tragedy of master and disciple turning against each other. At the same time, it was confirmed that Jin Hongze and Jiang Ziliu hired assassins to kill Ye Zan and Liu Gan. However, this was of no use, after all, the master and the apprentice were already dead, and the corpses could not be found.
In addition, although Chang Qingchuan refused to tell the identity and whereabouts of the Hongchen assassins, several Hongchen assassins were found out after a citywide search, including Chen Tianshui, who assassinated Jin Hongze.
Chen Tianshui was actually quite unjust. Everything was planned well. If there hadn't been that accident, the assassination could have been completed silently. As for the accident, one can only think that Jin Hongze used some secret technique to escape from the bloody mist.
However, these assassins, like Chang Qingchuan, were unwilling to reveal anything about Hongchen, which made Yan Xinghe and others feel very embarrassed.
And Ye Zan was actually quite helpless. He didn't know how to give out the list information in his hand. Once this thing is given to Yan Xinghe and others, it means telling them that there is a third party force inside. The deaths of Jin Hongze and Jiang Ziliu will also cause Yan Xinghe and others to have other speculations due to the emergence of this third party.
After much deliberation, Ye Zan could only temporarily give up his plan to severely damage Hongchen. Anyway, he had the list in his hand and it would always be useful in the future.
However, even without Ye Zan providing information, the ancient city did not die down. In fact, they also have some information about the assassin organization Hongchen. For example, they knew that Chang Qingchuan was a middleman before.
But now, in order to let Hongchen know the rules, several major forces in the ancient city have enough information to let Hongchen know what pain is. (To be continued.)
