Chapter 2161 Return to the Holy City
It should be noted that the deputy general manager of the Alchemy Alliance has not only reached the middle stage of Void Refining, but is also a master of the inner sect, and his backstage background is unfathomable. Otherwise, how could he hold a high position in the alliance headquarters?
Although the leader of the White Dragon Temple had indeed heard about this before, he was somewhat disapproving of it. How could a casual cultivator who couldn't even get a recommendation talisman be appreciated by the alliance's senior leaders? I think it's probably just spreading rumors.
But now that he saw Qin Tian swearing so firmly, the old man couldn't help but feel nervous. After all, based on the performance of the junior in front of him in the recruitment meeting, it seems not impossible that he will be appreciated by the league's top brass.
If this matter is false, that's it. If it is true, it will definitely offend the alliance's senior officials, and the consequences will be really troublesome.
So in the final analysis, he didn't dare to gamble, and he didn't want to ruin his future and immortality for no reason for a mere junior.
As a result, after a battle between heaven and man, Master Bailong finally calmed down his momentum, but his expression did not soften at all. He still had that majestic and cold posture, but he looked somewhat stern and angry.
"Okay, okay! You are a bit brave as a junior, and I am not an unkind person. Since you are still a man who can be made, the soul card will be waived, but Zhao Wuji is dead after all. It is in your hands, so there is no room for negotiation on the matter of offering alchemy. In addition, as long as you help me do one more thing, I will keep the secret for you..."
He was so confident in his words, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that this old guy gave in after all and just wanted to find a way out for himself.
Qin Tian naturally knew this very well, and he also knew the principle of giving up when something is good, so his attitude returned to the respectful look, and he quickly asked in a coquettish manner:
"Oh? That's easy to say about offering alchemy for the time being. May I ask the specifics of what the senior is referring to?"
Seeing Qin Tian's approach, Master White Dragon Temple was greatly satisfied, and immediately ordered in a majestic tone:
"This matter is not difficult to say, but it is not simple either. I need a spiritual thing to be used as medicine to break through the current bottleneck. The name of this thing is Queyun Immortal Grass. It is unique to the inner sect of Yuding Mountain. It is not available at ordinary times. It is circulating in the market. If you can find a way to get it, I will naturally not make it more difficult in the future, otherwise I will not blame you for being rude!"
Having said that, the eyes of the White Dragon Master became colder and sterner, and the aura that had disappeared reappeared. His intimidation was clearly evident, and he obviously did not want to hear any more words of rejection.
As everyone knows, when he heard these words, Qin Tian's heart had already moved quietly, and a hint of hidden light flashed across his eyes.
The reason for this is probably because this Queyun Immortal Grass is not an ordinary thing. As a dignified fifth-level alchemist, he has naturally heard of the name of this spiritual thing.
It is rumored that this substance is the main ingredient of the sixth-level healing elixir "Golden Marrow Fixing Pill". It has miraculous effects in healing internal injuries and repairing tendons. It can also cure many stubborn and hidden diseases, such as the sequelae of being obsessed with evil, or practicing martial arts. The meridians caused by mistakes can be called a holy healing product among the sixth-level elixirs.
However, this spiritual elixir is unique to Yuding Mountain. Not only is the elixir recipe regarded as one of the secrets of the inner sect, but even the main medicine, Que Yun Xiancao, is strictly controlled and will not be easily left out, especially the finished elixir. Medicines are rarely sold to the outside world, and even when they are, they are auctioned, often attracting competition from experts from all walks of life, and ultimately selling for extremely high prices.
Therefore, the value of this spiritual elixir cannot be measured by common sense. At least with ordinary wealth in the early stage of refining the void, it is really difficult to get it in hand.
And the Master of White Dragon Temple is the leader of a force after all, but he has traveled thousands of miles to blackmail and threaten a junior. If it is just to get free alchemy, this is somewhat unjustifiable, and a mere fifth-level alchemist is not worthy of this.
As the saying goes, when things go wrong, there must be a monster.
This old man suddenly wants to seize the "Golden Marrow Fixing Pill", but it may not be that simple. Unless the other party has a need in this regard, such as having some hidden illness and hidden injury, why bother to go to such trouble?
After secretly analyzing, Qin Tian vaguely noticed a clue, so he instantly made a plan in his mind, but on the surface he still pretended to be bitter and said:
"Ahem! I'm afraid this senior's move is a bit difficult. The Que Yun Xiang Cao is planted in the inner sect's elixir garden, and there is a special person responsible for guarding it. This junior is just an outer sect deacon. If you want to get close, you have no chance. Once discovered, A fatal disaster!"
However, after hearing this, the leader of the White Dragon Monastery snorted coldly and said with a hint of a smile but not a smile:
"Hmph! Aren't you, a junior, appreciated by the top leaders of the alliance? As long as the deputy general manager, Venerable Chi Yan, comes forward, isn't it easy to get a mere elixir? If you can't even do this, then I'll keep you It doesn’t seem to be of much use...!”
Obviously, this move is both a temptation and a threat.
If the matter is done badly, it will prove that the relationship with the Lord Chiyan is average, and there will be no worries about taking action against him. If the matter is really done, it will be an unexpected surprise.
It can be seen that the leader of the White Dragon Temple seems to be reckless, but in fact he is also a cunning and cunning person. He did not completely believe what he said just now, otherwise there would be no such thing.
Now that the words have come to this point, in order not to make the old man suspicious, Qin Tian naturally can't refuse anymore, so he can only reluctantly agree, but still tentatively said in a hesitant tone:
"In this case, I am willing to give it a try, but there is still one thing I don't understand. According to ancient books, Queyun Immortal Grass can only be used to refine the Golden Marrow Dingling Pill, but the pill formula is a secret of the sect. Even if you get the elixir, I'm afraid it will be useless...!"
However, upon hearing this, the White Dragon Temple Master was full of impatience, and he interrupted on the spot with a flick of his sleeves:
"Hmph! Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Since I want to seize this thing, I naturally have a use for it. You just do it, but I'll be frank. I'll only give you two years. If you delay too long, you can think about the consequences yourself...!"
After this, Qin Tian became more certain of his guess.
It is true that although the recipe of Yuding Mountain is kept secret, it is hard to guarantee that it will not be imitated by various alchemists because of its strong efficacy. It is not impossible to use the finished elixir to develop imitations. There are even inner alchemists who simplify the recipe and sell it secretly for personal gain, which has led to the prevalence of various broken recipes on the market.
And the master of Bailong Temple is full of confidence in his words. He must have found some broken recipe and planned to find someone to refine a replica to heal his injuries. Otherwise, why would he deliberately seek the main medicine of the elixir?
If this is true, there is an opportunity.
Thinking of this, Qin Tian's eyes suddenly flashed with a strange light, but he hid it well.
At the same time, after a severe reprimand, the White Dragon Master opposite took out another storage bracelet and said in a seemingly gentle tone:
"Our temple is short of elixirs recently. There are a lot of raw materials and all the recipes are included. The refining task is handed over to you. Just reach a 50% condensation rate. This requirement is not too high, right?"
Hearing this, Qin Tian took the storage bracelet and looked at it, and his face suddenly became bitter.
Probably because the spiritual medicine and the recipes required for refining are all fifth-level, it is really difficult to achieve a 50% condensation rate. I am afraid that even if a fifth-level top alchemist comes in person, he dare not guarantee that he can complete the task, not to mention that there is no reward. What is the difference between this and free labor?
But due to the situation, he still pretended to be reluctant and agreed on the spot.
Seeing this situation, the White Dragon Master nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and turned into a light and left, leaving only a warning voice behind.
"Two years later, bring the elixir and Queyun Immortal Grass to Bailong Temple to find me. If you dare to play any tricks, you know the consequences...!"
As the voice fell, the tense atmosphere in the field finally returned to calm, only the yellow sand around was still whistling.
But after the escape light faded away, Qin Tian's waist, which was originally respectfully bent, slowly straightened up little by little, and a cold arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Countless bloody examples in the past have long proved that those who dare to threaten him will never have a good end. Although he is a little afraid of the old man's cultivation, and it is inconvenient to take action due to the situation, it does not mean that Qin can swallow his anger.
Before you have enough strength, you do need to be careful and forbearing.
But today, in his eyes, the early stage of refining emptiness can't really pose a big threat. As long as the plan is proper, it may not be impossible to challenge across levels.
Moreover, this old thing knows too much, and he is sitting on the treasure land without knowing it. It has reached the point where it has to be eliminated. If the hidden danger is not completely eliminated, where will there be peace in the future?
The most important thing is that after the simple test just now, he has guessed a lot of clues and has a complete plan in mind.
