Chapter 362 Finding out the truth
Hearing this, Duan Xuan sighed slightly and began to describe helplessly:
"Shuiyue Villa is the most sacred place in the alchemy world. Countless people come here to refine elixirs and seek medicine, and they include all the major forces in the world of immortality in the endless demon sea.
And once there is a situation where people from two major forces compete for elixirs and elixirs, our village will never adopt bidding, which is a huge profit method for ordinary merchant alliances, so as not to arouse jealousy because of some spiritual stones, or even offend the majors. power.
In this way, the final result of the negotiation is nothing more than a fair competition to determine the ownership of the treasure! "
Hearing this, Qin Tian couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then said curiously:
"May I ask what the senior alchemist's cultivation level is?"
As he spoke, Qin Tian couldn't help but reveal a slight smile on his face, apparently quite confident.
After all, people who practice alchemy diligently, even high-level alchemists with high status, may have great attainments in alchemy, but they may not be very good in terms of cultivation level and combat power.
At least compared to orthodox spirituality, it is usually weaker! This is the so-called specialization in the arts!
Therefore, Qin Tian was still somewhat confident about defeating an alchemist.
However, when Duan Xuan heard this, he smiled bitterly and said:
“That senior alchemist’s cultivation level is only at the peak of the middle stage of foundation building.
However, Shuiyue Villa, as a holy land of alchemy, is naturally biased towards alchemists in the world. What’s more, the Taiyi Sect Alchemy Hall is the main patron of this village, and with my eldest brother interfering with it, I’m afraid things won’t be that simple tomorrow! "
Upon hearing this, Qin Tian frowned slightly and his eyes began to twinkle slightly.
When Duan Xuan saw this, he immediately apologized and said:
"Such twists and turns are caused by Duan's poor consideration and failure to make proper arrangements. I hope Brother Qin can forgive me!"
Qin Tian's expression softened slightly when he heard this, his expression returned to calm and he said:
"It doesn't matter! This is an accident! Besides, there may not be any improvement in the outcome of the discussion tomorrow!"
As soon as these words came out, Duan Xuan was quite confused, but seeing that the atmosphere was a little dull, he rolled his eyes and asked with a narrow face:
"I dare to ask Brother Qin, is the maid comfortable?"
Qin Tian couldn't help but raise his head slightly after hearing this, and asked with curiosity:
"Aren't you afraid of insulting the reputation of the Alchemy Holy Land by treating guests like this?"
Unexpectedly, during that part of the conversation, Xuan sneered and said rather ambiguously:
"Brother Qin, I don't know something. Reasonable dual cultivation is also one of the ways to improve your cultivation and make you happy. Therefore, many people who stay in the VIP Building are full of praise for this hospitality!"
After hearing this, Qin Tian was noncommittal and was about to say something. But a hole suddenly opened in the courtyard ban, and then a beautiful maid in palace clothes stepped in.
Upon closer inspection, it was Xiao Fu who had returned from an outing.
After arriving at the scene, Xu Shi saw Duan Xuan's presence. Xiaofu first bowed respectfully slightly nervously, then bowed her head and stood quietly behind Qin Tian, looking extremely well-behaved.
But there was a slight flicker in his lowered eyes. Apparently he was secretly nervous.
Duan Xuan, who was opposite, did not notice anything unusual about Xiao Fu. Instead, he stood up and smiled with an ambiguous face:
"Duan has important matters to attend to, so I won't bother you any more. Brother Qin remembers to go to the reception hall to discuss matters tomorrow morning!"
After saying this, Duan Xuan bowed his hands, then turned around and left quickly.
After waiting for a while, Qin Tian raised his hand to completely seal the courtyard, and then said to Xiao Fu:
"Don't panic! As long as Qin is here, nothing big will happen. How is the investigation going?"
After hearing this, Xiaofu, who was originally quite nervous, suddenly felt more at ease, and then she said respectfully:
"Master Qi, my maid followed the master's instructions and indeed found out about the existence of the useless alchemy room!"
Having said this, Xiaofu paused for a moment, then took out a jade slip as if taking credit for her work, handed it to Qin Tianhou, and continued with excitement on her face:
"This is a detailed map of the interior of Shuiyue Villa. It marks the locations of various facilities in the village. The maid spent a lot of effort to get this!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Tian's eyes couldn't help but light up slightly, and he quickly reached out to take the jade slip and put his spiritual consciousness into it.
After a while, he raised his head slightly and said with satisfaction:
"Well done, this is a reward for you!"
While speaking, Qin Tian turned over his hand and took out a small elixir bottle.
But what is surprising is that Xiao Fu did not reach out to pick it up, but said solemnly:
"Xiaofu only asks the young master to redeem my life for me, and I don't dare to expect anything else. This pill maid really deserves it!"
Seeing that this woman knew how to advance and retreat, and was able to control her greed, Qin Tian couldn't help showing admiration in his eyes, and said slowly:
"Don't worry, just take it. You deserve this! After the matter is completed, I will help you regain your freedom. You don't need to worry about this!"
When Xiao Fu heard the words, she hesitated for a moment, then reached out her hand to take the elixir bottle respectfully. Then she seemed to have remembered something and suddenly said:
"There is one more thing that needs to be reported to the Young Master! When my maid was chatting with some sisters today, she unexpectedly learned that one of the sisters' clan brother happens to be working in the Wasted Alchemy Room. Perhaps through this person, we can find out the internal situation of the Wasted Alchemy Room! "
As soon as these words came out, Qin Tian couldn't help being slightly startled, and the corners of his mouth curled up. After pondering for a moment, he calmly ordered:
"Well done! But Qin has important things to attend to tomorrow, so it's not urgent for now. Don't alert the enemy!"
Xiao Fu, who was praised by Qin Tian, seemed very happy, and her pretty face flushed as she responded:
"Don't worry, young master, Xiao Fu will live up to your expectations!"
..........
The next morning, Duan Xuan, dressed in a white shirt, was waiting outside the courtyard early.
Qin Tian naturally did not dare to delay, and immediately went with him, rushing towards a certain place in Shuiyue Villa.
Not long after, the two of them had arrived at a grand hall with a solemn appearance and extremely spacious.
At this moment, many people were seated in the hall. The first one was a young man in gorgeous clothes, who was Duan Han, the young master of Shuiyue Villa. Beside him, there was a little old man with white hair, Taoist robes, and a ruddy face.
And Qin Tian noticed that this person's cultivation was about the peak of the middle stage of foundation building, but he exuded a faint smell of medicine, obviously someone who had been in contact with spiritual medicine for many years.
Therefore, this person's identity was about to be revealed, and he must be the senior alchemist without a doubt.
As for the top seat, it was the Immortal Qinglan who had met him once during the Jindan Ceremony.
However, the Jindan strongman Qinglan at this time had a dignified look on his face, and a more elegant aura around him, quite like the demeanor of a senior master.
At least compared with the obedient appearance that was controlled by Immortal Zhanchi at the ceremony that day, it was far from it!
