Mortal's journey to immortality

Chapter 1377 The Key Chapter

Hearing Yin Shijiu's words of robbery and plunder, Wang Lu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but at the same time he felt deeply sad.

But he knew that this was absolutely impossible.

If the Yinluanxuan headquarters could carry out kidnapping and extortion, then Yinluanxuan would have been in chaos long ago. Not to mention that a master alchemist is such a popular commodity, so many forces are paying attention and watching overtly or covertly. If there is any disturbance, it will be spread immediately and known to everyone.

In fact, the situation may not be as bad as he thought.

If the Fantasy Sect had a great master of alchemy, why would he go so far to look for Zhang Cheng?

If there is a great alchemy master who has a good relationship with him, he would never want to have anything to do with Yin Jiu.

His intuition told him that Bai Yang and Yin Jiu, after joining forces, would pose a huge and deadly threat to him.

There are very few alchemy masters in the world, and in their Western Desert, there is even no one.

It is said that Li Yang, who follows Huang Yan's lead, has also reached the realm of the master of alchemy. He is the person with the highest attainments in alchemy in Ximo so far.

In his opinion, the reason why Huang Yan was able to match him was somewhat inseparable from Li Yang's alchemy skills.

Especially in the two important stages of his early and middle stages of transformation, Li Yang could provide him with an endless supply of elixirs, which enabled his cultivation to rise rapidly and put him far ahead.

There are more than ten alchemy masters in the world, but they can only refine elixirs below the late stage of Spirit Transformation. Elixirs of the late stage of Spirit Transformation can only be made by a half-step alchemy grandmaster or an alchemy grandmaster.

Such people are either hiding in some unknown secret place, or are the unshakable foundation of a super sect.

Even if he went to the door to beg for help, for the sake of his status as Grandmaster Wang Lu of Fu Dao, the best outcome would be to sell him three or five pills at a very high price of spirit stones, hoping that the other party would spare some time to refine pills for him.

Hey, I’m not his parent, it’s absolutely impossible.

Then why not get it at a high price or by bartering at the market, auction, underground trading venue or other auction house?

This is a feasible solution, but the huge amount he demands will only scare away everyone, and he will be regarded as a monster by the people of the world. Who made him possess the magical power of the realm, a money-eating beast that only takes in but never gives out!

What’s more serious is how can the scattered pills sustain his long-term consumption.

Not only is it difficult to find, but for him, if he takes too much, he will develop drug resistance, and the effect will gradually weaken until it is completely ineffective.

Therefore, he must have a young, extremely talented alchemy expert who can keep up with his practice pace and is equivalent to his personal master in order to elevate his cultivation level.

Considering all these conditions, those great alchemy masters are either in their twilight years or may die before he can achieve the great perfection of the transformation of the spirit; or they have strange tempers and are difficult to serve, especially when they frequently change the recipes of pills after taking two or three kinds of pills, and then they will just ignore him and walk away. What can he do to others? Can he force them to make pills for him?

It’s ridiculous to think about it.

Another very important point that must be considered is confidentiality.

His situation doesn't have to be kept 100% confidential, but the fewer people who know about it, the better.

Otherwise, if his opponents or potential opponents found out, with their vision and intelligence, they might devise targeted measures to bring him to total defeat.

Although he and Zhang Cheng had only met three times, he trusted him very much.

Because his situation was too rare and special, so rare and special that if he wanted to cultivate to the half-step realm in this world, it would only be possible through Zhang Cheng.

Of course, in order to improve his cultivation to the late stage of the Spirit Transformation this time, he has prepared a huge number of various precious treasures.

Even if Zhang Cheng needed ancient spiritual materials, he would take them out without hesitation and present them to him with both hands.

Hey, over the years, he has not let go of any storage bags of those super powerful people who died in his hands.

Alchemy is a very difficult and arduous job. He had done it himself in those days, and it was considered the darkest and most difficult period of his life so far.

If he could reach a corresponding agreement with Zhang Cheng, he would not let his training be in vain no matter what.

Wang Lu came back to his senses and sighed, "I understand what Brother Nineteen means, and I also understand your intentions. How about this, for my sake, you visit him again, explain my intentions, and personally hand this jade slip to him, please."

"Hey, it seems that my brother has been prepared for this. Don't worry, this is related to your cultivation. Compared with the relationship between us brothers and your exquisite deduction just now, this little thing is simply not worth mentioning. I, Nie Gui, will do my best to help you achieve this wish even if it costs me everything."

Yin Shijiu promised solemnly and earnestly.

Immediately, he frowned slightly and said, "Thank goodness you reminded me. I just remembered a detail about Bai Yang, Qin Hui and Li Kuang."

"Not to mention Bai Yang, whom I have never met, I haven't seen Qin Hui and Li Kuang for 81 years. I think they are very likely to have seen through the truth of the half-step realm. The three of them are practicing frantically, hoping to use their cultivation and strength to pry open a path to the upper realm."

"Where did the words come from?"

For some reason, he couldn't help but feel nervous when he heard someone else come to the same conclusion as he had after much thought.

It seems as if there are some rules and restrictions in the dark.

Yin Shijiu saw a flash of surprise in Wang Lu's eyes and knew that this matter was not simple, so he had to explain it in detail.

He recalled: "The last time I saw Qin Hui eighty-one years ago, she issued thirty-five orders in one breath. Because she acted fairly and clearly rewarded and punished, Yin Jiu and I agreed and decided on the spot. But now that I think about it carefully, one of them is like a deliberate attempt to confuse people."

"She proposed that since there are many late-stage Spiritualization masters in Yinluan Pavilion, all the late-stage Spiritualization elixirs collected by this pavilion must not be traded in any form. They must all be returned to the mountain gate and distributed reasonably according to merit by the Reward and Punishment Hall."

"Over the years, there have been thirteen late-stage Spiritualization elixirs that have flowed into the Reward and Punishment Hall from my Nie family alone. Of course, I secretly kept two of them. In this way, the number collected by all the Yinluanxuans in the five regions must be around sixty."

"But strangely, according to the records, the Reward and Punishment Hall only used 24 pills. Where did the extra 36 go?"

"He Shanben, the incense master of the Reward and Punishment Hall, has always been on good terms with the Bai family and is a close friend of the head of the Bai family. Because of Bai Yang's existence, Qin Hui and I turned a blind eye. In addition, the Reward and Punishment Hall he led was fair and impartial, so we didn't pay much attention to it."

"Humph, now that things have come to this, I will definitely get to the bottom of this when I return."

"Brother Wang, rest assured. With my skills, I will never attract their attention. As soon as I get any news, I will immediately inform the Eighth Ancestor."

Wang Lu nodded and said seriously: "Brother Nineteen, please be careful and be careful not to alert the enemy. Also, you must not tell anyone about my conclusion. If it is a close relative, tell them indirectly in another way."

"To be honest, I have an inexplicable and frightening feeling. Anyway, the fewer people who know about it, the better it is for us."
