Chapter 810 Deacon Su Yuan
Just as the "Falling Star Valley" slowly returned to normal and the demand for various alchemy and artifacts was endless, seven months had passed since the war, ushering in the bleak winter.
Su Yuan is an old man in the "Falling Star Valley". He has entered the late stage of foundation building for more than 30 years, and his actual age has reached 143 years old.
At his age, there is no hope for him to form an elixir in this life.
So, more than ten years ago, he had to find ways to enter the "Star Pavilion" as a deacon, which is where the elixir and magic weapons after the "Falling Star Valley" are stored.
There he can know what good elixirs are refined by the sect at the first time, and then the deacons and disciples here will have the conditions of being close to the water and getting the moon first.
They can buy the best elixirs, magic weapons, and spiritual tools at the most favorable prices.
Su Yuan has been in the "Star Pavilion" for 17 years, and he also used his status as a deacon to buy two fourth-grade "Zengyuan Pills".
"Zeng Yuan Dan" is very useful for foundation-building cultivators to break through the small realm, but Su Yuan planned to retreat immediately after purchasing the third "Zeng Yuan Dan" to break through the false elixir realm just in case.
The longer the immortal cultivator lives, the more afraid of death he is, and the more he desires to get a longer lifespan, and Su Yuan is of course the same.
At this critical moment, the four sects invaded. Whether you like it or not, all foundation-building cultivators will be sent out to lead disciples to fight the enemy in the outer valley. ??
Su Yuan is no exception. He doesn't know that he is too old and has been excluded from the elite disciples by Xingmo.
Therefore, among the disciples who were secretly transferred, although there are many foundation-building disciples, his name is not included, and he was left in the valley as a meat shield.
Although he knew that this battle was a line between life and death, Su Yuan had no worries and could think about it.
Since he knew that it was difficult for him to form a pill, he simply didn't want to accept even one disciple. He didn't have enough spirit stones, so how could he have the energy to take care of the so-called disciples.
Before the battle, Lin Xinghe also promised them various benefits, and for this reason, Su Yuan thought he had found a good opportunity.
As long as he made great achievements in this battle, he could use this as a condition to directly ask the sect for one or even two "Zeng Yuan Dan".
Since he was also an old man in "Luoxing Valley", when choosing a defense point, the deacon on duty let Su Yuan's team choose a place first.
So Su Yuan discussed with the other three foundation-building masters and soon reached a unanimous agreement.
They thought that if they set up an ambush near the mountain gate, the enemy would just enter when they were in high spirits and had the most people. Although they could kill more enemies, they would have a greater chance of being beaten into a meat paste.
And the middle section from the mountain gate to the inner valley was too large and the enemies were too scattered, so the number of people they could kill was limited.
Therefore, they finally decided to choose a defense point near the entrance of the inner valley, where the enemy would eventually arrive, and the enemy would have lost most of their lives at that time,
They could make the final blow.
At the same time, when they were unable to defend, it was most convenient to teleport into the inner valley, and the chance of survival was much greater.
But the result surprised Su Yuan's team. In the end, they only managed to defend a small team of less than five people.
Moreover, the other side had only one foundation-building monk leader. After they easily killed the enemy team, they heard that all the enemies were strangled and "Falling Star Valley" won.
Su Yuan and his team could not believe the first news, but more and more such news came from all directions.
Most of Su Yuan's team were extremely happy. They did not even hurt a single person, but they won the victory and survived. How could they not be happy?
But this was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Su Yuan.
It was not until he returned to the inner valley and asked for details that he learned more about the ins and outs.
Originally, there were indeed many monks who were about to approach the inner valley, but in the end they were wiped out by several teams. There were about one or two hundred people one after another.
But he didn't know that there had been an enemy Jindan cultivator there, otherwise he would have no other reaction except fear.
When facing the remaining enemies, the great elder of the "Qingfeng Sect" actually arrived with a large number of foundation-building cultivators.
With their participation, the remaining more than a hundred enemies were all killed before they even walked 60% of the way from the mountain gate to the inner valley.
This made Su Yuan sigh to the sky that he was unlucky. He was a late foundation-building cultivator. In this battle, he should have gained a lot of benefits anyway.
Even if he got something from the enemy, but the five people they killed only had one foundation-building cultivator, and the things in the storage bag were not enough for the four foundation-building cultivators to share. The spiritual stones they got were only about ten.
But something happened later that made Su Yuan even more angry. After this battle, the sect master Lin Xinghe was seriously injured and went into seclusion, and the previous sect master Xing Ming suddenly returned miraculously.
This former sect master valued the contribution of the sect disciples to the sect more.
So after counting the battle results, the position of steward of the "Star Pavilion" that Su Yuan had spent a huge price to enter was taken away by three people headed by Zhu Luomu.
How could Su Yuan be willing to admit defeat? He wanted to fight with the current sect leader to see if he could get some help so that he could continue to stay in the "Star Pavilion".
Although Su Yuan is an old man of "Falling Star Valley", he is only over 140 years old now. When he entered "Falling Star Valley", Lin Xinghe was already the sect master.
Therefore, his understanding of Xingming may be from the classics.
When he finally saw Xingming, he saw the three brothers and sisters of Zhu Luomu standing beside the sect master, and he had a bad idea in his mind.
Xingming smiled and waved kindly to let Su Yuan sit down, and his attitude towards him was quite friendly.
Then, without waiting for Su Yuan to speak, he seemed to be indifferent and said casually, "Deacon Su, you don't have to be restrained. Although I haven't been in the sect for hundreds of years, you are very familiar with my disciples.
Now that you are here, just be casual. By the way, what do you want to see me for? Tell me slowly... Hehe..."
At that time, Su Yuan was completely stunned, and the last glimmer of hope in his heart was shattered.
After that, he suppressed his fear, found out some things and said a few words, then left in a hurry.
Then, he was assigned to the "Star Shattering Room" to guard.
Although there is a lot of money here, due to the strict rules of the sect, there are too few people using the underground "Star Shattering Room".
The "Small Star Shattering Room" on the ground is generally used by Qi Condensation disciples. Those people are so poor that they almost have no spiritual stones to practice, so what money can they deduct? ??
At the same time, guarding here is still a rotation, one month a rotation, including Su Yuan, there are a total of three foundation-building cultivators taking turns to guard.
In this way, the benefits he can get are even less pitiful.
Su Yuan knew that he could not afford to offend the three people of Zhu Luomu who had always been very low-key, so he attributed all the disasters to others, that is, the other teams that killed one or two hundred enemies.
These people ate meat, and in the end, they only leaked a drop of soup for him to "drink", or should I say "lick".
As for the enemies who were eventually killed by the "Qingfeng Sect" elder, he of course automatically ignored them in his heart.
If he knew which fellow disciples had disrupted his plan, he would definitely take back the losses from them the next time he came to the "Star Shattering Room".
But no matter how he inquired, he finally got a piece of news.
"It was several teams led by Zhu Luomu who joined forces to resist the enemy. Apart from that, he couldn't even find out who the Qi Condensation disciples who appeared there were. Everything seemed to be deliberately concealed.
All this was because the current sect master Xing Ming did not allow the story of the battle to be told on the grounds of protecting the monks who came to help from the "Qingfeng Sect".
This reason seemed far-fetched to Su Yuan. The current sect master was hiding something.
But because of this, Su Yuan didn't dare to continue to inquire, because he thought of the rumor that the elder was seriously injured and had been severely punished by Xing Ming. It was said that the end was quite miserable.
Perhaps the information he inquired about also involved the sect master Lin Xinghe, and even the great elder.
After Su Yuan combined the information he had inquired about before, he also made his own judgment, and finally attributed everything to the current sect master.
"This must have been done by the former sect master himself, and then he deliberately gave all the credit to his disciples."
Whenever he thought of this, Su Yuan, who was sitting cross-legged in front of the "Star Shattering Cave", was full of anger.
The more he thought about these things, the more annoyed he became. Usually, in the end, in addition to shaking his head hard to squeeze this matter out of his mind, he could only think of other things to distract himself.
Suddenly, he thought of someone in a certain "Star Shattering Room".
"That person has been in there for more than half a year, but to this day, he still hasn't come out. This person's strength is so terrifying, but why don't I know him."
After Su Yuan distracted himself, the first thing he thought of was the person who made the three deacons feel incredible.
Before July, he had brought a young man wearing the uniform of the "Falling Star Valley" sect and holding the sect master's jade slip to the underground T-shaped refining room.
At that time, he was very concerned about the cultivator whose cultivation he could not see through at all. How could the other party get a jade slip with the sect master's personal voice?
Their sect master had been missing for a long time, and even he had never seen him before. After such a miraculous return, how could this person who looked like a disciple of the valley be able to get along with the former sect master?
This alone was enough to make Su Yuan notice this young man.
Later, something even more surprising to Su Yuan happened. After more than half a month, the man had not come out. At that time, Su Yuan did not take this matter to heart.
At that time, it was also the turn of another foundation-building cultivator, so Su Yuan went back to rest.
In the month after he returned, although he did not do it deliberately, he had also inquired about the man's appearance.
Unfortunately, there were very few people in the valley who knew Li Yan, and Su Yuan didn't ask the right person. He certainly didn't think that the disciple he knew the most was in the Condensation Stage.
Then, he put the matter behind him. Now the sect master seemed to have been keeping an eye on the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators.
He didn't dare to ask about the news of other fellow disciples in private. If he was caught as a spy and searched, he would be finished.
And just two months later, when he took over from the previous cultivator, he unexpectedly found that the Ding-shaped refining room was still used by someone.
So he hurriedly asked the deacon when the Ding-shaped refining room was opened. The cultivator deacon was stunned before saying.
"It may be opened when Senior Brother Liu was on duty. It will probably be open in about a month."
Su Yuan immediately felt something was wrong. He immediately took out the sound transmission talisman and sent it to Junior Brother Liu. After a moment, the other party's answer surprised him.
"Senior Brother, wasn't the Ding-shaped refining room opened when you were there? Is there something wrong?"
