Chapter 3985 Cangjin Mountains

"Well, of course it's poison!"

The old man smiled and said, "You will have an attack after taking it for a year, but don't worry. As long as you serve the Lord wholeheartedly, there will be an antidote for you every year. And if you are loyal, you will get a permanent antidote in the future and cure the poison once." It’s not impossible to solve the problem.”

"Of course, if you don't obey, hehe... this poison will make you die miserably, very miserably!"

After hearing what the old man said, Su Chen looked frightened and quickly swallowed the pill.

"You are very decisive. I admire you very much."

The little old man smiled and said, "Just stay on standby for now. There won't be any work for you to do for a while. By the way, you will leave Scarlet Flood Dragon City within half a month. You can go wherever you want."

Su Chen's heart moved again. This old man actually mentioned this matter. What will happen in Scarlet Dragon City in half a month?

Cui Shou said this before, and now this old man says the same thing. What will happen to Scarlet Dragon City to the point where it is not safe to hide anywhere in the city?

Su Chen didn't ask, because it was obviously impossible for the other party to tell him.

"Okay, I'm leaving. You should work hard and strive to be promoted to an eighth-grade high-level alchemist before the age of forty. In this case, the Lord will definitely think highly of you, and your future prospects are limitless!"

The old man nodded at Su Chen, opened the door and went out.

Su Chen followed him out, but the old man was nowhere to be seen.

"This old man is at least a high-level one who has passed through the Lijing Realm. His impression is far beyond that of Cui Shou."

Su Chen thought to himself, "It is estimated that when ordinary people encounter him, there is no other way except taking the poison pill."

Su Chen also took the poisonous pill, but for him, this was naturally not a big problem that was difficult to solve. There are no poison pills in the world that he can't solve, let alone poison pills of this level.

Su Chen raised his hand, and there was a little bit of pill residue between his nails. He had picked it out before taking it, but the old man didn't notice it.

After collecting the elixir residue and using it to study the antidote, Su Chen went out in person and notified Zhou Nanqi again to warn her.

However, Su Chen didn't make the matter too specific. He didn't tell Zhou Nanqi that he was "recruited" by the little old man and took the poison pill.

After listening to Su Chen's words, Zhou Nanqi also said that she would notify the other three battalions to pay attention to any disturbance.

Su Chen was not very optimistic, because the old man's tone was too certain, and it definitely couldn't be solved by just paying attention to the slightest sign of trouble.

"We'll decide based on the situation. Take care of yourself first. If something cannot be done, just ask Sect Master Jiang and Luo'er to leave together."

Su Chen also made a decision.

Returning to the Alchemy Guild, he began to study the antidote.

Although there was only a little bit of pill residue, it was enough for Su Chen.

One afternoon later, the antidote was refined and he took it.

In this way, Su Chen's body was completely free of the poison's toxicity, but in the eyes of the little old man and others, he was still a poisonous person.

Later, Su Chen continued to take Xiayue Baoguo and practice.

With the assistance of Xiayue Baoguo, his progress will naturally be rapid.

A few days later, while Su Chen was practicing, he wanted to change his mood, so he thought of the Nine Transformation Psychic Pill that he had planned to refine. If nothing else goes wrong, after consuming the Xia Yue Treasure Fruit, he will use the Nine Turns Spiritual Pill.

Therefore, preparation must be made in advance.

Su Chen took a look around the Alchemy Guild's warehouse. Although the raw materials here were dazzling, many of the materials required for the Nine Transformation Spiritual Pill were very rare, so in the end there was still a lack of one raw material.

The missing raw material, called Xuanyin Vine, is extremely precious, has a price but is not marketable, and the key is that it is extremely difficult to find. Even if it is found, picking it is extremely difficult.

"It seems that I have to look for it myself."

"There seems to be a place rich in elixirs in the Cangjin Mountains outside the city. Many herb collectors will go there. There are still eight days left before the half month that the old man said. Let me go and have a look."

When the half-month deadline expires, Su Chen will definitely stay in Scarlet Dragon City to see what will happen. Only when he encounters a really difficult situation will he take Jiang Changfeng and Luo'er away.

Su Chen also decided that if the crisis in Scarlet Flood Dragon City could pass, he would resign from the position of deputy captain of the South Camp and concentrate on training.

On this trip, Su Chen decided to take Luo'er with him. Wudali might not have given up yet. Although Luo'er was safe in the Alchemy Guild, he couldn't stay away from home forever.

Just take your little maid out to relax and change your mood.

Soon, Su Chen and Luo'er set off.

After leaving the city, we headed east. A few hours later, we arrived at the Cangjin Mountains.

The Cangjin Mountains are deserted, but there are no particularly powerful monsters entrenched in it, because the four major battalions will come to sweep it from time to time, and it is basically impossible for monsters above the intermediate level of Tongli Realm to exist.

Of course, there are extremely dangerous places in the Cangjin Mountains, and even high-level departures would not rush into them, but as long as you don't go to those places, other places won't be too dangerous.

Su Chen went directly to the place rich in elixirs that people who pick medicines would go to. The place was halfway up the mountain, so there was still some distance to go.

Halfway through, Su Chen suddenly paused and said, "Huh?"

"What's wrong, Master?" Luo'er asked.

"There are sounds of fighting, right in front. Let's go and have a look." Su Chen said.

"yes."

Su Chen led the way in front, and soon Luo'er heard the sound herself, and could find the right direction without Su Chen's guidance.

After passing through a dense forest, they saw an open space in front of them, where a battle was going on.

It was five young men and women, besieging a monster.

The monster was at the third level of Tonglijing. Normally, it would take two or three human warriors of the same level of cultivation to fight it on equal terms. If you want to suppress it, you need more than three.

But among these five young people, only two reached the third level of Tonglijing, and the other three were at the second level of Tonglijing. Therefore, the five people joined forces, but they could only fight the monster in a stalemate, and the scene was even very dangerous at one point.

"Keep calm, don't panic, we have the upper hand, and we can definitely defeat this beast!"

Among the five people, a relatively old teenager kept shouting while fighting, trying to inspire the morale of his companions and let them not lose confidence.

However, what he said was not completely unreasonable. If they could stabilize the situation, then the chances of winning would be at least 70% to 80%.

The other four people were also inspired with confidence, and under the control of the young man, the situation gradually stabilized.

But at this moment, something strange happened.
