Chapter 224: Closing the Door and Sharing the Spoils
Dragon marrow, to put it bluntly, is the bone marrow of a dragon, but although the dragon clan once dominated the world, there are not many dragon corpses left outside. On the one hand, the number of dragons is small, even in the most prosperous period, the number is at most tens of thousands. On the other hand, it is said that when the dragon clan is about to die, they will return to the dragon tomb in the ancestral land of the clan, and the very few who cannot return will be taken back to the dragon clan for burial.
For the Dragon Clan, the most severe punishment is not to enter the ancestral land after death. However, in the long history of this world, it can be said that there are very few dragons who have been punished in this way. Even if there are some, they will often be pardoned after death, and they will also return to the ancestral land of the Dragon Clan.
Therefore, in this divine realm, it is almost impossible to find the remains of a dragon. And this dragon marrow, of course, is even more rare because of this.
If such a small bottle of dragon marrow is taken out to be auctioned, even those alchemy masters will be crazy about it. Its value, it may be a bit false to say that it is priceless, but if it is used to exchange for the Dan Sheng to make a shot, basically there is no problem.
However, with such a priceless bottle, Jin Hongze was reluctant to use a drop until he died, but Ye Zan threw it to Xiaojin directly.
After getting Ye Zan's consent, Xiao Jin looked very happy, and immediately coiled up the jade bottle with her slender body. Its small head poked out to the mouth of the bottle, obviously it was a snake, but like a kitten licking water, it licked the dragon marrow inside bit by bit with its snake letter.
However, after a few licks, Xiaojin seemed to be drunk, and fell asleep with his head resting on the bottle.
Ye Zan put Xiaojin and the jade bottle aside, and continued to organize Jin Hongze's collection. But what follows, there is nothing too precious, a few magical artifacts of acceptable quality, and two magic weapons of low quality.
Those magic tools are actually components of the legendary Thirty-Three Heavens. However, judging from the refining methods and materials, it is 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 Righteous Heart Seal. The Five Elements Stake is used to determine the five elements escape method, which can make the opponent's escape method invalid, but the effect also depends on one's own quality and the opponent's cultivation. And Zhengxinyin is a magic weapon to resist inner demons and not be disturbed during alchemy.
This Righteous Heart Seal is just for Liu Gan, and the Five Elements Pile is for Qi Qianjun! Ye Zan divided these two magic weapons out again.
Although the few pieces of instruments with the Thirty-Third Heaven component cannot truly form the Thirty-Three Heaven, the quality is still pretty good. Ye Zan was going to take these magical artifacts as rewards for Yuqing's disciples after returning to Yuqingzong.
After Ye Zan finished sorting things out, he came out of the Yuqiu space, and after a while, he heard Qi Qianjun and Liu Gan rushing over.
"Elder Ye, have you heard that old man Jin Hongze is dead!" Liu Gan said with joy when he saw Ye Zan.
Liu Gan hated Jin Hongze to the core. Originally, at the alchemy conference, he justified himself, so he didn't bother to talk to Jin Hongze anymore. Who would have thought that Jin Hongze invited an assassin to put him to death. If Ye Zan hadn't acted, he might really have died.
Therefore, when he heard that something happened to Jin Hongze, Liu Qian couldn't care less whether the dead were big or small, anyway, he only had two words in his heart: "Happy".
"Well, I heard, you two come in with me, I have something for you." Ye Zan nodded flatly, and called Liu Gan and Qi Qianjun into the room.
Liu Gan was still a little surprised, Ye Zan was also assassinated, why he seemed so indifferent to Jin Hongze's death. However, he didn't want to ask too many questions, and followed Qi Qianjun into Ye Zan's room with a curious expression on his face.
"Old Liu, these things are for you." Ye Zan said, wiped the Qiankun ring on his hand, and suddenly a pile of things appeared on the ground.
Among these things, the most conspicuous one is the Qingling Cauldron. The Qingling Cauldron is not such a great magic weapon pill furnace, but it is also well-known among alchemy cultivators, and it can be regarded as the top-level pill furnace that can be found on the market.
And when Liu Gan saw the things next to the Qingling Cauldron, his eyes widened and his mouth couldn't close in shock. He pointed to the pile of things and said, "This, this, these things, how could... ..."
"Oh, don't be so surprised. Didn't something happen to Jin Hongze? I thought not to waste it, so I took all these things back." Ye Zan explained disapprovingly.
"Here, Elder Ye, could it be you?" Liu Gan didn't know what to say.
"It has nothing to do with me, I'm just a spectator." Ye Zan said jokingly.
Although Ye Zan said so, both Liu Gan and Qi Qianjun 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 and how he did it.
Of course, if Ye Zan didn't say anything, Liu Gan and Qi Qianjun couldn't 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 received his Qiankun Ring.
After Liu Gan collected all the things, Ye Zan wiped the Qiankun ring again, and took out the things for Qi Qianjun. However, there are not many things for Qi Qianjun, just some materials for refining weapons, and the magic weapon Five Elements Pile.
"Thank you, uncle." Qi Qianjun didn't show any pretense, and put away the refining materials and the Five Elements Pile.
After dividing the things, Ye Zan clapped his hands and said, "Okay, this time, there is nothing to do in this ancient city, you go back and prepare, and we will go back to the sect in a few days."
"Well, after being out for so long, it is indeed time to go back." Liu Qian nodded and said.
Indeed, when Ye Zan and Liu Gan came to participate in the Alchemy Conference, they originally thought that they would return to Yuqingzong after the Alchemy Conference was over. Unexpectedly, Ye Zan and Qi Qianjun spent so much time in the restricted area because of the so-called strange stones from outside the territory. After finally coming out, I thought I should go back, but Jin Hongze jumped out again to find trouble.
Now, Jin Hongze and Jiang Ziliu are dead, theaters have also been set up, and they have formed an alliance with Wuliangzong. The matter in the Southern Region is almost done. Ye Zan has just been promoted to the Golden Core Realm, and he really needs to go back to Yu Qingzong to consolidate his cultivation.
However, leaving doesn't mean leaving immediately, Ye Zan still has to wait and watch another scene to see how far the scene between the ancient city and the assassins of the world will go. It's a pity that there is no way to give out the list in his hand, otherwise it will definitely deal a heavy blow to the world of mortals.
That night, Yan Xinghe and other ancient city controllers directly opened the restriction on the ancient city, and no one was allowed to enter or leave at will. Thousands of miles of sound transmission also made meritorious service again, and the several forces that got the news in time immediately sent Yuanying Patriarch to lead a team to the ancient city to assist Yan Xinghe and others.
As soon as the teams of several forces arrived at the ancient city, they immediately began to search the entire city. Chang Qingchuan failed to escape in time, was caught straight and brought to Yan Xinghe and others.
"Chang Qingchuan, tell us the list of assassins in the city, I can still save your life." Yan Xinghe said in a deep voice.
Chang Qingchuan smiled wryly. He never thought 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 that he will die even worse if he betrays Hongchen.
"Grandmaster Yan, you guys actually know that, it's impossible for me to do that." Chang Qingchuan said helplessly.
"Well, how about Jiang Ziliu?" Yan Xinghe and the others asked again. As for the rivalry between Jin Hongze and Jiang Ziliu, they were actually very puzzled.
"Well, how should I put it, Jiang Ziliu came to me and said that he needed a contact person to help him get rid of Jin Hongze, so I contacted someone for him. I didn't expect it to end up like this." Chang Qingchuan said very depressed, Then he told Yan Xinghe and others about Jiang Ziliu's coming to find him in detail.
After listening to Chang Qingchuan's narration, Yan Xinghe and others knew that everything seemed to be caused by the loss of the deposit. However, no one can tell whether the deposit was really lost. After all, both Jin Hongze and Jiang Ziliu are dead.
Moreover, Jin Hongze is a self-destructed Nascent Soul, and under that kind of explosion, the Qiankun ring will be turned into fly ash. Therefore, everyone did not delve into where Jin Hongze's Qiankun ring went.
As for Chang Qingchuan's words, it can be regarded as the final decision on this matter. This is indeed a tragedy of human relations between master and apprentice. At the same time, it was confirmed that Jin Hongze and Jiang Ziliu hired assassins to assassinate Ye Zan and Liu Gan. However, this is useless, after all, the master and the apprentice have already died in Huangquan, and the corpse can't be found even after whipping the corpse.
In addition, even though Chang Qingchuan refused to disclose the identity and whereabouts of Hongchen Assassin, several Hongchen Assassins were found out after searching the whole city, including Chen Tianshui who assassinated Jin Hongze.
In fact, Chen Tianshui was quite wronged. Everything was planned very well. If there was no such accident, this assassination could have been completed silently. As for the accident, it can only be considered that Jin Hongze used some secret technique to escape from the blood mist.
However, these assassins, like Chang Qingchuan, refused to reveal anything about Hongchen, which made Yan Xinghe and others feel very embarrassed.
And Ye Zan was actually quite helpless, because he didn't know how to give out the list information in his hand. Once this thing is given to Yan Xinghe and the others, it means telling them that there is a third-party force in it. As for the deaths of Jin Hongze and Jiang Ziliu, because of the appearance of this third-party force, Yan Xinghe and others have other speculations.
After much deliberation, Ye Zan could only temporarily give up his plan to injure the world of mortals. Anyway, with the list in hand, it will always be useful in the future.
However, even without Ye Zan's information, the ancient city did not die down. In fact, they have more or less information about Hongchen, an assassin organization. For example, they knew that Chang Qingchuan was an intermediary.
But now, in order to let Hongchen know the rules, the information possessed by several major forces in the ancient city is enough for Hongchen to know what pain is. (To be continued.)
