Chapter 146: Showing Power

"This is the elixir that the island owner asked me to send. Please check it out, senior," Hu Jinchuan said as he looked at the two monks in front of him.

Ling Yunsheng took the storage bag from the opponent's hand, cracked the restrictions on it, and then handed it over to others after inspecting it with his spiritual consciousness.

The person beside him was none other than Zhu Shen, the third-level alchemist who had been taught by Wei Zhong’s experience.

Although the opponent has been promoted to the third-level alchemy master for decades, it is still quite difficult to refine the third-level middle-grade elixir, let alone the high-grade elixir.

Therefore, the Ling family often purchases such elixirs from Wei Zhong.

After checking it with his spiritual consciousness, the other party sighed:

"Fellow Daoist Wei's alchemy skills are superb. I wonder if I can reach this level in my lifetime?"

Zhu Shen has been left with a shadow since his failure in condensing the pill. He has never considered condensing the pill in the following decades, and now he probably only has a few decades of life left.

I finally entered the third level of alchemy, but the process is profound and the progress is difficult.

Ling Yunsheng stood aside and didn't know how to comfort him. The other party's alchemy skills were much inferior to Wei Zhonglai's.

Now, as the opponent of the Ling family's alchemy master, the refining efficiency of the third-level elixir is too low, which can only allow the Ling family to maintain a balance of income and expenditure.

Therefore, the other party in the Ling family mainly focused on refining first- and second-level elixirs, or taught the descendants of the Ling family.

Zhu Shen knew that he was boring and said:

"That's all, I will give the elixir to the master of the family right now."

Seeing him leaving, Ling Yunsheng said to Hu Jinchuan:

"Young Hu is so favored by Senior Wei that he has given you full authority over the sale of the elixir."

Hu Jinchuan touched his head in embarrassment:

"It's all thanks to the kindness of the island owner."

"There are several young people in my Ling family who heard about my friend coming here and want to get acquainted with him. I wonder if I can give him a favor."

Hu Jinchuan looked in the direction pointed by his finger, and immediately saw several young and beautiful women, his face turned red:

"I still have the task of being the island master, so it is inconvenient to delay here. I ask for your forgiveness, senior."

Ling Yunsheng's expression remained as usual: "That's such a pity!"

Hu Jinchuan briefly handed over his hand:

"The elixir has been delivered, and the junior has left."

After saying this, Hu Jinchuan flew into the air, stepped on a spiritual boat and fled into the distance.

For alchemy-forming forces such as the Ling family, Hu Jinchuan was only the transporter of the elixirs, and the reward for the elixirs had already been collected by Wei Zhong himself.

Therefore, there is no need for him to collect the spiritual stone reward and return.

Ling Yunsheng dispersed the Ling family disciples who had gathered together, with an inexplicable look in his eyes.

The fact that Hu Jinchuan was favored by Wei Zhong was naturally known to everyone in the Ling family. Many elders of the Ling family wanted to draw closer to Wei Zhong through this person, so this came out.

"This Hu Jinchuan is quite shy," Ling Yunsheng couldn't help but feel funny when recalling his reaction just now.

Close the large formation in front of you, turn around and fly towards the clan.

Hu Jinchuan breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the Ling family. He could not see the Ling family's efforts to win over him.

‘But this body of mine was a gift from the owner of the island. I didn’t earn it through my own ability. If I just rely on this body to enjoy it.

I'm afraid it's a disaster rather than a blessing. ’

Although Hu Jinchuan is young, he is very clear about such things. This is one of the main reasons why Wei Zhong reuses him.

Hu Jinchuan touched the storage bag in his arms:

"Next stop, to Gang Palace."

There was no Jie Xiu blocking the way to Ling's house, which made Hu Jinchuan heave a sigh of relief:

"I hope the rest of the journey will be smooth and smooth."

······

In a mountain forest dozens of miles away from Hu Jinchuan, the two gathered here.

A person was wearing a white Taoist robe with a red-eyed crane painted on it, and he was murmuring:

"Is the information that fellow Taoist heard from Zhigang Palace true? How come we haven't seen the Qi Refiner kid transporting the elixir yet?"

Opposite him was a female cultivator with an old look, who replied:

"The news is absolutely true. If Fellow Taoist He doesn't believe it, you can leave. I will take all of this windfall."

These words immediately made the male cultivator in the crane robe groan, thinking to himself:

‘This old woman has really lost her rules after being promoted to Dan Ji, and now she dares to talk to me like this. ’

The old female cultivator's expression remained normal, and she was not angry at the other party's groan.

If Wei Zhong and Ling Ziwei were here, they would probably recognize these two "acquaintances".

These two people were the same calamity cultivators that Wei Zhong encountered when he left Mangyuan Mansion.

One of them is He Taoist, a monk in the middle stage of pill formation. Now, more than a hundred years have passed, and the other person is still in the middle stage of pill formation, without any change.

The other elderly female cultivator was an old woman who had fought several battles with Wei Zhong.

A hundred years ago, the opponent was only in the realm of foundation building, but now he has successfully formed a pill, and is in the early stage of pill formation.

The two gathered here and naturally found out the news about Qingbo Island transporting elixirs to major forces.

Taoist He said:

"The person who transported the spiritual elixir is just a small Qi refiner. I wonder why you want to drag the old Taoist along now?"

At this point, the elderly female cultivator started to explain:

"Don't be careless, fellow Taoist He. Although the other party is just a Qi Refining monk, he is accompanied by a second-level peak spiritual beast. It is also a bird demon of the second attribute of wind and thunder. It is the contracted spiritual beast of Master Wei.

The escape speed is extremely fast, and it explodes with all its strength, no less than the two of me.

If he was robbed or killed, he would most likely abandon the Qi Refining child and leave alone with the elixir. From now on, we need you and me to stop it together. "

Hearing what the female cultivator said, Taoist He understood and laughed:

"This Master Wei handed over such an important matter to a Qi-refining subordinate and a spiritual beast. He really doesn't take us into consideration."

The female cultivator opposite him couldn't deny it, and obviously had the same attitude.

"Speaking of which, it took a lot of effort, fellow Taoist, to find out such information, right?"

"It's just sending people into the Zhigang Palace. In recent years, it has expanded its power and recruited loose cultivators, but its requirements have been lowered a lot.

If Fellow Taoist He is free, you can join in and seek the position of an elder for fun. "

Taoist He was not a fool. He guessed that the person in front of him was setting up a foundation or a detailed Qi refining work under it, so he did not attract his attention to Gang Palace.

And his cultivation in the middle stage of pill formation will definitely be re-examined by Zhigang Palace, and the identity of the demon cultivator will most likely be exposed.

In the Luohe Mansion of the decent camp, this is no different from a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.

Taoist He complained in his heart and added:

"I wonder if there are third-level elixirs among the elixirs traded in Zhigang Palace this time?"

"That's natural, otherwise why would I choose this opportunity to rob and kill. It is said that among the elixirs transported by Qingbo Island this time, there are not only third-level low-grade elixirs, but also middle-grade elixirs."

Hearing this, Taoist He's breath froze, and his face turned red with excitement:

"really?"

Demonic cultivators are not easy to mess with in the decent realm. He Dao people migrated all the way from Mangyuan Mansion, and most of them did "business" of robbing foundation-building minor cultivators.

Rarely targeting the Dan-Jie cultivators, worrying about encountering the same bad thing as last time when a late-Jie Dan-Jie suddenly appeared.

It was not easy to escape from Yan Wanhong last time, Taoist He still remembers it fresh.

"I will try to deceive fellow Taoists. By making this order, you and I won't have to worry about our cultivation resources for decades. Maybe fellow Taoists can take this opportunity to advance to the late stage of pill formation."

As soon as these words came out, Taoist He was immediately excited.

Suddenly, the female cultivator shouted: "Be careful, that person is coming."

Looking up following his gaze, Taoist He indeed spotted Hu Jinchuan passing by in the distance, and also saw the feathered bird on his shoulder.

‘Can such a low-quality monster possess the power of wind and thunder? ’

Taoist He was confused in his heart, and when he probed with his spiritual consciousness, he wanted to see the difference.

But once it spread to Hu Jinchuan, Jiucai seemed to be aware of it and let out a quick cry.

"No, this bird is alert. We have been noticed and we will take action quickly." Seeing this, Taoist He flew out first, with a long sword in his hand heading straight for the spirit boat in the distance.

Hu Jinchuan was startled when he heard Jiucai's cry. He quickly squeezed the talisman in his hand and turned around to see two black-robed monks in front of him.

After sensing the opponent's aura, my heart felt cold:

"Energy formation, or two people?"

‘What kind of elixir did the island owner ask me to send? It actually attracted two elixir-forming monks to rob and kill it. ’

"My life is at stake!"

At the same time, the spiritual talisman in his hand was activated, and the spiritual light spread from the talisman to the spirit boat at his feet.

A layer of hazy golden light suddenly rose and enveloped the entire spirit boat like an eggshell.

It is difficult for Qi Refining monks to control the third-level spiritual talisman. Even the defensive type is very difficult. If you are not careful, you will hurt yourself.

However, Wei Zhongfu used the art of weapon refining and combined it with talisman techniques, allowing Hu Jinchuan to use his Qi refining body to cast these third-level talismans.

Taoist He's magic weapon hit the golden light defensive shield, causing it to tremble suddenly and dent half a foot inward.

But the latter had a flash of inspiration and bounced the flying sword away, restoring it to its original state.

"It's a pretty good turtle shell, but I want to see how long it can last?"

At this time, another elderly female cultivator also arrived. Seeing the aura defense in front of her, her heart became hot.

‘I have been making pills for decades, but I have never had such a powerful defense method. How can you be a Qi-refining monk? ’

Xiang Youxin suddenly showed a ferocious look on his face. He picked up a strange magic sword filled with green aura in his hand and stabbed it towards the defensive shield.

Each sword leaves green smoke on the defensive golden shield. If you look closely, you can see that these green smoke are eroding the aura defense, reducing its power.

Seeing this appearance, Hu Jinchuan also knew that the defense of this spiritual talisman would not last long, so he took out the storage bag in his arms and tied it on Jiucai's leg.

He patted its wings and warned:

"I'll open the defense shield later. You don't have to worry about my safety. Just take this storage bag and run away."

Jiucai waved its wings nonchalantly, revealing a silver thumb ring covered under it.

Hu Jinchuan seemed to be confused, and suddenly saw a dazzling silver light emitting from it. He had to close his eyes and use his hands to block it in front of him.

The two people outside the defensive barrier were shocked when they saw this change. When the silver light dissipated, they saw a white-robed monk appearing among them.

A glimpse of his face seemed to be somewhat similar to that of Qingbo Island Master.

Hu Jinchuan looked at the person in front of him with a bit of disbelief:

"Island owner?"

Wei Zhong, or Wei Zhong's distracted puppet, looked back at Hu Jinchuan and said:

"Well done."

Then he flashed through the defensive barrier and came to the outside world.

He looked at the two robbery cultivators in front of him with a bit of sigh, and murmured:

"It's fate, I didn't expect to see you two here."

Wei Zhong had already recognized the demon cultivator in front of him who had robbed and killed the merchant guild.

‘One is in the middle stage of pill formation, and there is another in the early stage of pill formation. I didn't expect that the old foundation-building lady would have a chance to form a pill. Speaking of which, she had some grudge against her. ’

Wei Zhong remembered that he had killed the opponent's close relatives.

The two of them were also shocked when they saw the monk suddenly appearing in front of them: "Are you the master of Qingbo Island? Have you seen the two of me?"

At the same time, they secretly wondered why there was such a pill-forming monk here. Could it be that he was hiding inside the spirit boat, but the two of them didn't notice the aura of the monk inside it just now.

The two did not understand the details.

In fact, Wei Zhong's puppet body has always stayed within the finger-pulling magic weapon. This is a magic weapon that Wei Zhong specially refined for the distraction puppet according to the description in the inherited jade slip.

"Not only have I met you two, I have also fought against you two."

"Have we fought before?" Taoist He was confused, and suddenly heard a reminder from the female cultivator behind him.

"Fellow Taoist, be careful!"

When he came back to his senses, the owner of Qingbo Island had appeared in front of him, and his arm was like a long sword thrust towards his face.

‘So fast! ’

It turned out that when Wei Zhong spoke, he was the first to launch the offensive.

According to the Soaring Cloud runes engraved on the puppet's body and the spiritual power provided by the psychic core, the puppet's clone's escape speed is almost the same as Wei Zhong's original body.

Without thinking, Taoist He raised the magic sword in his hand and stood it in front of him.

A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: 'Can you still compete with my magical sword in your mortal body? ’

As long as Wei Zhong does not change his attack movements, he will definitely be injured by his magic sword. In serious cases, half of his hand may be cut off.

But what is here now is not Wei Zhong himself, but a puppet made of high-level spiritual materials. Except for the thin outer layer of flesh and skin, there is no weakness in his body.

The arm moves straight forward without any change.

Taoist He watched helplessly as the opponent's palm touched the magic sword, and then he cut off the surface flesh and blood, and then exposed the silver-white "skeleton".

What followed was a huge force, and "Skeleton" directly crushed the magic sword to the left side of his face, cutting off half of the flesh and blood, and then gouged out one of his eyes.

"ah!"

Taoist He let out a cry of pain.

The female cultivator on the side had already arrived and pulled his body back.

Seeing the opponent's injuries again, he was immediately horrified.

"A monk in the middle stage of pill formation was seriously injured by one blow? Is there any mistake? Isn't this Qingbo Island Master in the early stage of pill formation? Or is the other party hiding his strength?"

Taoist He groaned in pain, looked at Wei Zhong angrily with his other remaining eye, and spat out word by word:

"Physical training in the later stage of pill formation?"

A monk who can physically defend his own elixir-forming magic weapon is who else if he is not a late-stage practitioner of elixir-formation.

Taoist He never expected that after many years of robbing, he would offend such a late-stage pill-forming monk.
