Seeing the small bottle, Xuan Zhi's face twisted. After a while, he sighed and picked it up. Pouring out a green pill, he quickly swallowed it.
His originally pale face turned red in an instant. At the same time, the scales on his body, his hair, and his eyes turned black, returning to their original state.
"I originally wanted to lure the people from the Sect over and fish in troubled waters to see if there was any chance. Now it seems like there is no hope. I can only follow the Sea Race down this path. I can only hope that the future development will be like what she said. " Xuan Zhi raised his now normal hands and after observing them for a while, he helplessly muttered to himself.
Then, the emperor of the Da Xuan Country opened the door of the secret room listlessly and walked out.
… …
At night, Liu Ming sat cross-legged on the wooden bed in his residence and played with the green scale in his hand. His face was full of a thoughtful expression.
With his experience, he naturally couldn't see anything from the scale. However, it definitely wasn't something that a normal person would have.
It seemed like Mister Sun's words were most likely true.
The emperor supported by the five sects was actually a non-human. This was a huge joke and was enough to make the sects lose all face.
However, because of this, he couldn't easily send this news back to the Sect.
After all, other than the scale, he didn't have any other evidence. If there was any mistake, the punishment wouldn't be light.
Gao Chong would soon become a true Spirit Master. He couldn't give such an obvious weakness to the other party.
After thinking for a while, he decided to temporarily suppress this news. He would wait until he found other obvious evidence and confirmed that there was no mistake before sending the news back to the Sect.
However, the ambush at the Small Clear Temple and the disappearance of the supervising disciple, did this have anything to do with this?
After Liu Ming put away the scale, he couldn't help but think about this.
In the next few days, he spent almost all of his time in the underground market of Xuanjing. He bought some pills and glyphs that he thought were useful, but he didn't find anything that was too valuable.
This was no wonder!
With his current eyesight and wealth, it was indeed difficult for ordinary items to catch his eye.
But on this day, when Liu Ming just returned from the market and was about to return to his residence, he was suddenly pulled by Qian Chao who walked out of the hall and said with a smile,
"Mister Qian, you're finally back. I have a piece of good news. I wonder if Sir would like to hear it? "
"Since it's a good thing, why wouldn't I be happy?" Liu Ming smiled.
"Hehe, the good news is that Master Fan Baizi is finally willing to meet us. This time, Master Fan has concocted a new medicine and is preparing to sell it in our auction. That is why he is willing to meet us. I wonder if Mister Fan has the time right now? Because the news came back a little late, it's best that we go see Master Fan now to prevent any more unforeseen events from happening at the auction. As long as we have Master Fan's new pills, I believe that the White Auction will have a higher chance of success. "Qian Chao said excitedly.
"Now? Aside from Owner Qian, is there anyone else going? "Liu Ming was startled at first, but he immediately asked a question.
"No, it's just the two of us. Elder Mian is currently in charge of the auction and has to guard the storeroom, so he can't come. "Qian Chao said without thinking.
"Okay, if that's the case, then I'll go with Owner." Liu Ming thought for a moment before nodding his head.
Qian Chao was overjoyed when he heard this. He quickly ordered a family member to prepare a carriage and walked out of the mansion with Liu Ming.
Two hours later, Liu Ming and Qian Chao appeared on a mountain road and walked up.
"For this Master Fan to also live on the Immortal Dawn Mountain, what a coincidence." Liu Ming observed the surrounding scenery as he spoke with a smile.
"With Master Fan's alchemy skills, he naturally wouldn't put himself under the control of that faction. Plus, the Immortal Dawn Mountain's Yuan Qi is thick and it's secluded, making it a good place to refine pills. " Although Qian Chao was a mortal without a Spiritual Pulse, he walked beside Liu Ming and didn't show any signs of fatigue.
"That's true. With how rare alchemists are, if they put themselves in danger, it wouldn't be strange for them to be kidnapped and forced to refine pills. However, this Master Fan Bai Zi lives on the Immortal Dawn Mountain, so the government probably has a lot of advantages. "Liu Ming replied.
"Haha, Mister Qian really is an understanding person. Indeed, as the price of protecting Master Fan, he has to refine a few pills for the government every year. Also, if the Gold Spirit Guests were to buy pills from Master Fan, the price would be ten to twenty percent cheaper than others. "Qian Chao laughed as he replied.
Liu Ming nodded his head and his face revealed an expression of "I knew it".
After the time it takes to eat a meal, the two finally arrived at the bottom of a cliff. On the cliff, there was a green stone door and on both sides of the door, there was a black iron lion statue that was a few feet long.
Not far from the front of the door, there was a huge wooden pavilion. Inside, there were about a dozen people sitting and resting.
Liu Ming looked around and saw that most of these people were Spirit Apostles, but there were a few who were mortals.
"These people are …" Liu Ming asked subconsciously.
"Don't worry about them. These people either want to learn Master Fan's alchemy skills or ask him to refine pills for them. Under normal circumstances, Master Fan wouldn't care. "Qian Chao replied as if it was normal.
Afterwards, he brought Liu Ming to the stone door on the cliff. He rolled up his sleeves and knocked on the door with a few "peng peng" sounds.
Moments later, the stone door was opened, and a boy with red lips, white teeth, and a pigtail on his head emerged from within.
"You two are?" The boy sized up the two of them and asked.
"I am Qian Chao of the Hundred Spirit House, I have already made an appointment with Master Fan." Qian Chao said with a smile.
"So it is Owner Qian, the master has instructed. If Owner Qian is here, there is no need to announce it, just bring him to the living room. "Hearing this, the boy smiled and said as he moved to the side, making way for them.
Seeing this, Owner Qian naturally gave his thanks and walked in with Liu Ming.
The people in the wooden pavilion who wanted to watch the show, when they saw this scene, naturally went into an uproar.
Fan Bai Zi, the alchemy master, had a strange temper and was famous throughout Xuanjing.
Some of them had been here for half a month, while others had been here for two to three days. However, this was the first time they had seen someone strut through the stone door with just a few words. They couldn't help but look at each other in dismay!
At this time, under the guidance of the boy, Liu Ming and Qian Chao had already walked into a large hall.
The hall was only a hundred feet wide and in each of the four corners, there was a pot of unknown flowers. In the middle, there was a sandalwood table and a few chairs. The decorations were unusually simple.
"Please wait here for a moment, the master is still making pills and will only come after a while." The boy led the two to the chairs and brewed a pot of tea before speaking respectfully.
"No problem, the master's pill making is more important. The two of us will just wait here. "Qian Chao said.
Hearing this, the boy nodded his head and left.
Liu Ming and Qian Chao drank the tea as they chatted.
"Mister Qian, did you see the Gold Spirit Guests, Commander Qiu Longzi, a few days ago?" After a while, Qian Chao suddenly asked this question.
"Yes, I did see him once. How does the owner know about this? "Liu Ming was slightly surprised but after thinking for a bit, he asked a question.
"It's nothing, it's just that a few days ago, someone came to ask about Mister Qian. It seems that they came under the orders of Commander Qiu." Qian Chao smiled as he said.
"Hehe, looks like this Commander Qiu is someone with a heart." Hearing this, Liu Ming laughed.
"I heard Elder Mian say that this Qiu Longzi and the other three commanders are all Late Spirit Apostles at Perfection. They can be said to be one of the strongest cultivators in Xuanjing. Did Mister Qian accidentally offend them? "Qian Chao probed.
"Owner, don't worry. I only sparred with Commander Qiu when I met him and that's why I attracted his attention." Liu Ming's expression didn't change as he replied.
"Sparring!"
Qian Chao, the owner of the Hundred Spirit House, was shocked when he heard this.
Although he knew that Liu Ming could be a Late Spirit Apostle, he never thought that Liu Ming could be on the same level as a Late Spirit Apostle like Qiu Longzi.
His face was full of shock as his mouth moved. Just as he was about to ask something, an old voice came from the side door of the hall.
"I am also very curious as to who won the sparring between Mister Qiu and Mister Qiu. Qiu Longzi is an expert in the art of Gu Worms and has many Gu Worms that are extremely troublesome to deal with. "
As soon as he finished speaking, a white-robed old man with white hair and a ruddy complexion walked out from the side door. His face was full of interest.
"Master Fan, your pill is done." Seeing the elder, Qian Chao immediately stood up and greeted him with joy.
Liu Ming's eyes flashed as he also stood up and cupped his hands:
"I am the guest of the Hundred Spirit House, Qian Ming. Greetings to Mister Fan."
"Please sit, there is no need to be so polite. So this is Mister Qian. Owner Qian, you really took in an incredible guest. "Fan Baizi first waved his hand and waited for them to sit down before he smiled and said.
"Mister Qian is indeed very powerful and even saved my wife and son before. However, I really didn't know that Mister Qian's strength had reached such a level." Hearing this, Qian Chao smiled bitterly as he replied.
"Indeed. With Qiu Longzi's current status, if it wasn't someone with a similar level of cultivation, it would be very difficult to get him to spar with others. Looks like Mister Qian is also a Late Spirit Apostle without a doubt. "Fan Baizi twirled his beard as he looked at Liu Ming and said thoughtfully.
