Why are you going to Baihuang Mountain
Hearing that Ye Zan actually wanted to go to Baihuang Mountain with Little Black Fatty, Liu Qian suddenly became a little anxious and asked quickly: "Elder Ye, what are you talking about? Are we not going back to the sect?"
"Of course I want to go back, but I have to wait until I go to Baihuang Mountain to finish my work." Ye Zan replied nonchalantly.
"Elder Ye, you must not do this. Have you forgotten Jin Hongze? I think it would be better for us to return to the sect as soon as possible. As for the stone you want, just ask the store to send it to the sect in the future!" Liu Qian hurriedly persuaded.
What Liu Qian said was not unreasonable. After all, he was being cared about by a Nascent Soul Ancestor. If he was still wandering around outside, he would really be seeking death. Moreover, this ancestor of Yuanying is also a master of alchemy and has quite a lot of connections in the Southern Region. I don’t know how many people are looking for opportunities to get involved with him.
As for asking the store to deliver the goods, this is not an exaggerated idea. You must know that Ye Zan paid seven high-grade spiritual stones just to buy the stone before. If the store has more of this kind of stone, even if the price is not as high as before, it will definitely be a big business, enough to give them the motivation to deliver it to your door.
But after Ye Zan heard this, he shook his head and said: "Old Liu, don't worry so much. Everyone knows about our grievances with Jin Hongze. At least Jin Hongze himself is inconvenient to take action directly. As for his connections, for One alchemy master offends two alchemy masters? Although there must be such people, there are definitely not many. "
Ye Zan is not an arrogant person. On the contrary, he cherishes his life. The reason why he is not worried about Jin Hongze is actually because he has carefully considered the pros and cons.
Jin Hongze does have quite a lot of connections in the Southern Territory. After all, he is a senior alchemy master.
However, it also depends on where this network is used. If it is something that will not harm one's own interests and is not too troublesome to do, I believe many people will rush to help Jin Hongze do it.
However, if it is necessary to do something at both ends, how many people in this so-called network are willing to do it
In the secular world, there is a saying that "a scholar dies for a confidant", and indeed there are such people. But among practitioners, as the same saying goes, practitioners who seek immortality are actually very selfish in nature.
For Jin Hongze, is it worth offending two alchemy masters and the second-rate sect Yuqing Sect with the power of the soul? I'm afraid many people will think carefully after hearing Jin Hongze's explicit or implicit request.
In fact, it is wrong to say that these people are selfish. After all, they ask Jin Hongze to make elixirs, and there is a price to pay.
For example, to make an elixir, you often need to provide at least three herbal medicines, and if you fail all three times, you can't resent the alchemist. And if one portion is successful, the remaining two portions of herbs belong to the alchemist and are not considered as the reward for alchemy.
To put it bluntly, there is indeed an element of love involved in asking an alchemist to make an elixir, but it is more of a transaction, and no one can tell who is owed.
Therefore, in Ye Zan's opinion, there will definitely be people who stand up for Jin Hongze, but there will definitely not be too many. Moreover, the person who stands up for Jin Hongze will not be very high-level. At least, it is impossible for him to appear like the ancestor of Yuanying or the powerful Yuanshen.
"Qianjun, why don't you say anything? Please advise your uncle." Seeing that he could not persuade Ye Zan, Liu Qian had to turn to Qi Qianjun for help.
However, Qi Qianjun shook his head and said calmly: "I think what the uncle said is reasonable. I hope to meet Jin Hongze to see how real he, the ancestor of Yuanying, is. ”
Qi Qianjun's words sounded a bit crazy, but he had the capital to be crazy, even when facing a Nascent Soul Ancestor. You know, Qi Qianjun is a ninth-grade Daoist with a golden elixir. Apart from perverts like Ye Zan, there are also those Destined Sons of the twelfth-grade Daoji. This is already considered the top qualification.
Although Jin Hongze is the ancestor of Nascent Soul, he was a Nascent Soul who was conceived with the golden elixir of Dan Dao. His mere combat ability is far inferior to other practitioners of the Soul Soul realm. Therefore, everything has advantages and disadvantages. If it is easier than others to reach the realm of Yuanying, you will inevitably be inferior in some aspects.
Therefore, if the two really faced off, the outcome would probably be 50-50.
"Why don't you..." Liu Gan stamped his foot and said, "Well, in this case, I can only risk my life to accompany you, and go crazy like you."
However, upon hearing this, Ye Zan shook his head again and said, "Old Liu, you don't have to follow me."
"What, Elder Ye, do you think that I, Liu Gan, am someone who is greedy for life and afraid of death?" Liu Gan's face suddenly changed, and he said with some annoyance.
"No, don't get me wrong!" Ye Zan waved his hand, and then explained: "It's useless if you follow me. You still have two apprentices there. You can't just leave them here alone."
"Why don't we go together..." Liu Gan said half of it, but when he thought about the strength of the two disciples, he had to swallow his words. His two disciples were also at the foundation-building level. But as alchemy cultivators, the two disciples had almost no hands-on experience. If something happened, it would be better not to be a burden.
"Then let them wait here for a few days." Liu Qian immediately changed his words.
Ye Zan smiled and said: "Okay, there's no need to argue. You and your two apprentices are staying here. It's just a good opportunity to communicate with your colleagues more and make your reputation as a master better. Anyway, No matter what happens, Jin Hongze will not dare to deal with you in this ancient city. As for Lao Qi and I, if we are really in trouble, we will have less worries whether we fight or run away."
Liu Qian also understood that, let alone his two disciples, even if he was in the Golden Core realm, if something happened to him, he would only become a burden. In desperation, he could only nod and agreed to Ye Zan's proposal. He and his two disciples stayed and waited for Ye Zan and Qi Qianjun in the ancient city.
After the discussion was settled, Ye Zan turned to the little fat man and asked, "How about it? Do you have anything else to prepare here? If not, let's set off now."
"Wait a minute, I have to clean up. If I come back late, these Gu insects will suffer." Although the little black fat man looked fat, he was quite agile. He started running around in the store with no sound, and put those All the Gu insects were collected. It wasn't until the end that the big centipede on the sign was wrapped around my arm.
Liu Gan took his two disciples and returned to the original inn. Ye Zan, Qi Qianjun, and the fat little black man rode out of the west gate of the ancient city and headed southwest.
The mountain road is indeed rugged. There were still some roads at the beginning, but later there were no rugged mountain roads at all. Fortunately, the three of them were riding Ye Zan's improved mounts, which could make a path even if there was no road.
However, Ye Zan was a little curious and asked the little fat man on the road: "You and your grandfather should both be practitioners. Have you never thought about building a road out of the mountain for your village?"
But the fat little black man curled his lips and replied disdainfully: "What good is there outside the mountains? People in our village don't need roads to go out of the mountains. Building roads is just to make it easier for people outside the mountains to go." They just lied to us in the village."
The little black fat man's words left Ye Zan quite speechless. This kid himself was so cunning, yet he had the nerve to say anything about people outside the mountains.
When Ye Zan and others went to Baihuang Mountain, Jin Hongze, who was still in the ancient city, immediately got the news. After all, you don't need any connections at all to do things like staring at people. Low-level practitioners must be willing to do it if they are given some benefits.
"How was it? How did the other party respond?" Jin Hongze asked with a gloomy face to his disciple Jiang Ziliu who had just returned.
However, Jiang Ziliu shook his head and said, "Returning to Master, I have made it very obvious, but Chang Qingchuan and I have been pretending to be dumbfounded, obviously not wanting to take action on our behalf."
"Bang!" With a loud sound, Jin Hongze was so angry that he crushed the armrests of the Grand Master's chair to pieces and said angrily: "I remember back then, when he asked me to help him make elixirs, his chest was pounding loudly, and he was willing to go up and down the mountain with knives and oil pans. Now he doesn’t even want to do this little thing!”
A little thing? It was here that Jin Hongze vented his words. If he really dared to say it to those people, he would probably be spat in his face. That is a master of alchemy, and he is also an elder of a second-rate sect. Is that something he can do casually
"Master, in my opinion, these people are simply unreliable. It would be better to find those who get paid to do things." Jiang Ziliu suggested cautiously.
The so-called people who take money to do things naturally refer to killers. No matter where you are, as long as there are people, there will be disputes, and there will be an industry that "takes people's money and eliminates disasters with them." What about practitioners, they still have seven emotions and six desires. In the end, they are still human beings, so they will also have a need for killers.
However, Jin Hongze was also hesitant. It wasn't that he couldn't afford the money. The key was that once he got involved with the killer, it would mean endless trouble. Moreover, some of those killer organizations use this as a business, but there are also some who claim to be members of the Tao, resulting in the vast majority of killer organizations being classified as demons.
Colluding with the devil is a taboo. Once known, Jin Hongze's reputation will be completely ruined, and he will always live in a dark corner like a mouse.
"You said that, could it be that someone from that industry has already approached you?" Jin Hongze hesitated for a moment and suddenly asked Jiang Ziliu.
Jin Hongze is not stupid. When his disciple made such a suggestion, he knew that there must be a reason. Although everyone knows that there are killers, not everyone can think of working with them. Moreover, it is not possible to find a killer just by looking for him. In many cases, you may not be able to find a way to hire a killer.
Jiang Ziliu had obviously made some preparations when he made such a suggestion, otherwise he would be causing trouble for himself. When the time comes, Jin Hongze really asks him to find it, and he has no way out, so wouldn't he be digging a hole for himself
"Reporting to Master, I also heard from Chang Qingchuan that he was someone who could help contact Hongchen." Jiang Ziliu quickly knelt down and explained with fear. (To be continued.)
