It was a strange feeling. It wasn't because the black and white gems were shining brightly, but because Fang Zhengzhi felt like he was being watched when he looked at the gems.
"Looks like … I'm really sending myself into the tiger's mouth?" Fang Zhengzhi's original plan was to sneak into the 1000 Herb Hall and find a chance to sneak an attack on Dao Hun.
However, when he saw the 1000 Herb Hall in front of him, he had a feeling that everything was going according to Dao Hun's plan.
Of course, he could also turn around and leave now, but could he do that? Or, could he really leave just like that?
No!
Therefore, he had no other choice.
Even though he knew that Dao Hun was waiting for him in the 1000 Herb Hall, he had no choice but to go in, because it was his only chance.
However, before going in, Fang Zhengzhi felt that he had to verify his hypothesis. Hence, he moved in an instant.
Under the dim moonlight.
Fang Zhengzhi was so fast that he arrived at the entrance of the 1000 Herb Hall in the blink of an eye. Then, he leaped lightly.
He leaped onto the signboard of the 1000 Herb Hall.
It felt good to step on the signboard of the 1000 Herb Hall. However, that wasn't Fang Zhengzhi's real goal. His real goal was the two gems.
As the saying goes, don't miss out on anything that you walk by. The gems that were placed in Dao Hun's residence were definitely valuable.
"Kacha, kacha!" Two soft sounds were heard.
The black and white gems were in Fang Zhengzhi's hands. Then, Fang Zhengzhi raised them up and looked at the moon in the sky.
"They're crystal clear, and they look good!" Fang Zhengzhi exclaimed. Then, he put the two gems into The Vast World.
…
In a spacious bedroom in the 1000 Herb Hall.
A figure sitting cross-legged on a couch trembled slightly at this moment. He opened his eyes abruptly, feeling as if he had been slapped in the face.
"What a brat! How dare you steal my gemstone!" The figure cursed subconsciously. Then, he tidied his robe and closed his eyes again.
There was an ancient saying: Invite the gentleman into the house.
That was exactly what he was doing now, and the biggest reason for doing this was naturally because he wouldn't give the other party any chance to escape.
If he made a move now, he would have an eighty percent chance of catching the shameless man outside. However, eighty percent was not enough. He wanted a hundred percent chance.
As long as the other party stepped into 1000 Herb Hall …
The chances would increase from eight to ten.
So, he was waiting.
He was waiting for the shameless bastard to walk into 1000 Herb Hall, but at the same time, he was also waiting for the shameless bastard to suddenly jump out from behind him and launch a sneak attack.
Now that this shameless man was already at the door and was about to enter, he had to give him a little more time.
Just as he was thinking about this, an untimely voice suddenly sounded from outside the door. Furthermore, it was clearly transmitted into his ears.
"Dao Hun, you scum. I'm here. Come out and fight me if you dare!"
"…" The figure's lips twitched. For a moment, he did not know what to say. However, after a moment, the figure quickly calmed down. "This brat is quite smart. He knew that I had set up a trap for him, so he chose to give up. This saves me a lot of trouble."
He didn't wait any longer.
Since Fang Zhengzhi had exposed himself, he couldn't enter the 1000 Herb Hall anymore. Therefore, he stood up slowly, left the bedroom, and walked towards the door.
Soon, the figure arrived at the door.
At this moment, the stone door was already opened from the outside. The figure wasn't too bothered by this, because he knew that Fang Zhengzhi was already here.
"Fang Zhengzhi, since you're here for revenge, then … Eh?" The figure walked out of 1000 Herb Hall and looked around. However, he didn't see Fang Zhengzhi in front of 1000 Herb Hall.
This also made him a little surprised.
However, this astonishment quickly turned into speechlessness, because suddenly, there was a crisp "kacha" sound coming from his feet.
"A bear trap?" The figure looked at the shimmering clip on his right foot. It was impossible for him not to feel a little speechless.
The Hallmaster of the Yin Yang Hall, Dao Hun …
It was undoubtedly a humiliation to be 'ambushed' by someone using a beast trap. After all, this method was a little too casual.
It was like a person holding a nail that was less than half an inch long and saying that he was going to kill an elephant with it.
However, this situation happened right in front of him.
However, Dao Hun, who was a dominating figure in the Holy Region, didn't laugh out loud. He knew that he could lose his life if he underestimated the Holy Region.
It seemed like a simple sneak-attack, but it couldn't be that simple.
Therefore, Dao Hun raised his head immediately when he saw the beast trap on his right leg. There was a patch of azure blue above his head, which was as pure as the sky.
"Boom!" A loud sound was heard, shaking the entire Yin Yang Hall. All the disciples who were patrolling in the Yin Yang Hall were shocked.
"We've been tricked!" The disciples of the Yin Yang Hall could naturally tell where the sound came from. Therefore, after hearing the sound, they looked at each other and ran towards the direction of the 1000 Herb Hall.
The patrolling disciples weren't the only ones running towards 1000 Herb Hall.
At this moment, there were even more figures rushing out from various locations in the Yin Yang Hall. All of them were moving extremely fast, and they were also heading towards 1000 Herb Hall.
This was an encirclement.
Although the night passed slowly, and no one had the mood to sleep for the first half of the night, all the Yin Yang Hall disciples opened their eyes when they heard the voice.
"Quick, don't let that guy get away!"
"We have to catch him this time!"
"We have to avenge Ninth Elder and make him pay for the ten acres of herb fields!"
All the disciples of the Yin Yang Hall were fully alert. Colorful lights shone in the Yin Yang Hall like shooting stars in the night sky.
It didn't take long.
Soon, almost a thousand disciples of the Yin Yang Hall gathered in front of 1000 Herb Hall. Apart from them, the eight elders of the Yin Yang Hall had also gathered.
Of course, there were two other guests in the Yin Yang Hall.
They were the Third Elder and Fourth Elder of the Nine Pinnacles Mountain. Both of them were dressed in black robes. They appeared in front of 1000 Herb Hall as well.
The two old men immediately spotted the figure standing at the entrance of 1000 Herb Hall. His black and white robes fluttered gently in the night breeze.
Contrasting with the black and white robe was a head of black and white hair. The left side was black, while the right side was white. The two different colors of hair were separated from the middle and then neatly combed up. A golden crown with carved patterns was tied tightly. It looked like the intersection of Yin and Yang.
The most special thing about him was the mask he wore.
It was black and white, but it didn't separate in the middle. Instead, it rotated in a special way. It made one's heart tremble, but also made one respect him.
He was the Hallmaster of the Yin Yang Hall, Dao Hun!
He was a powerful man who rarely showed his face. He was known as the best alchemist in the Holy Region. He was mysterious and revered.
"Hallmaster!" The Third and Fourth Elders of the Nine Pinnacles Mountain looked around and were slightly stunned. However, they quickly bowed to Dao Hun and greeted him.
Of course, just like Nine Pinnacles Mountain's Third Elder and Fourth Elder, the thousands of Yin Yang Hall disciples and the eight elders who rushed over in time were also stunned.
The reason was simple …
Dao Hun was the only person standing in front of 1000 Herb Hall.
Fang Zhengzhi was nowhere to be seen.
"Where is he?"
"Where did Fang Zhengzhi go?"
"Didn't I hear the sound?"
This was what all the Yin Yang Hall disciples were thinking about. However, none of them dared to voice out their thoughts. All they did was stand rooted to the ground with a confused look on their faces.
"Search!" Dao Hun's voice was heard.
It was a simple word, but it shocked all the disciples and elders of Yin Yang Hall. It was equivalent to telling everyone that Fang Zhengzhi was here.
Furthermore, he even ambushed Dao Hun. But now, he seemed to have escaped? Did he escape under Dao Hun's nose? How was that possible?
No one thought that it was possible.
However, Dao Hun's words told them that. Therefore, after recovering from their shock, all the disciples of the Yin Yang Hall replied in unison, "Yes!"
Then, all of them spread out and ran into the darkness where they could hide. At the same time, torches were lit up, and the Yin Yang Hall was as bright as day.
However, everyone was still confused. Did Fang Zhengzhi run away? How did this guy get away?
No one knew why.
Because Dao Hun didn't tell them.
…
The fire lit up, and all the darkness turned into light. At this moment, the gradually brightening sky was also reflected in a ball of red radiance.
And within this red light, there was a faint hint of purple. It was a faint purple that rose from the eastern horizon. It was very faint and almost undetectable.
However, a faint light flickered in Dao Hun's eyes the moment the faint purple appeared. Then, he turned around slowly and walked back into 1000 Herb Hall.
The entire 1000 Herb Hall was made of a giant stone statue. No one knew when this giant stone statue was built, but they knew that since the establishment of the Yin Yang Hall, only the Hallmaster of the Yin Yang Hall was allowed to live in this stone hall.
Dao Hun walked quickly. He passed through the main hall of the stone hall and arrived at the door of a stone room.
On the door, there were two lifelike beast heads on the left and right.
This was a mechanism, and it was a mechanism that could change at any time. There were less than three people in the entire Yin Yang Hall who knew how this mechanism changed.
The reason was simple. This was Dao Hun's alchemy room.
Dao Hun looked at the two beast heads on the door, then reached out his right hand and pressed on the left eye of the beast head on the right.
"Crack!" A soft sound was heard.
The stone door opened.
Dao Hun looked around, then turned his body and walked into the stone room.
Normally, the temperature in a room used for alchemy wouldn't be too low. However, the temperature in Dao Hun's alchemy room was obviously different.
It wasn't hot, nor was it cold. In fact, there was even a slight chill in the summer. However, there wasn't a single gust of wind.
In the middle of the room, there was a gigantic alchemy furnace made of purple gold. There were eight beast heads on eight different positions of the furnace.
This was a top-notch Pill Cauldron. However, the strange thing was that the design of this Pill Cauldron was almost exactly the same as the Pill Cauldron that Fang Zhengzhi had entered.
If one had to point out the difference between these two alchemy furnaces, it would undoubtedly be the two gems inlaid on top of the alchemy furnace.
Dao Hun's alchemy furnace was embedded with a black gemstone, while the one in the attic was embedded with a white gemstone.
Dao Hun walked into the stone room.
The stone door behind him closed naturally. At the same time, the stone walls of the stone room lit up with a bright radiance. Those were the pearls embedded in the stone walls.
The stone room was extremely bright under the radiance.
However, Dao Hun didn't approach the alchemy furnace immediately. He just stood there quietly, as if he was waiting for something.
"Dao is the foundation of heaven and earth, the mechanism of all changes, and the secret of the manifestation of gods and ghosts. Virtue is the way of life, the way of advancing and retreating, and the way of longevity!" Dao Hun murmured softly. Then, he raised his head slightly, and the black and white mask on his face shone with radiance.
"Destroy!"
Following Dao Hun's shout, the alchemy furnace that was burning with flames trembled for a moment. Then, the flames disappeared without a trace.
At this moment, Dao Hun walked towards the alchemy furnace. Then, he pressed one of the beast heads and lifted it up gently.
The top of the alchemy furnace, which was made up of eight beast heads, opened up and hung on a jet-black metal lock on the ceiling of the stone room.
At the same time, a rich medicinal aroma spread out from the alchemy furnace. There were five jade-green pills lying quietly in the alchemy furnace.
Dao Hun looked at the pills in the cauldron calmly. He took out five pills casually and threw them into a jade box at the side.
Then, a few "undeveloped pills" appeared in Dao Hun's hand. They were seven pills as white as snow, but they didn't emit a rich medicinal aroma.
