Chapter 731 Rules
With the escape technique of Master Kunxu and the middle-aged Tong, they arrived outside Tianyang City in less than half a day.
In order to find the master of alchemy, Master Kunxu had already collected enough information, so he went to a familiar medicine shop in the south of the city as soon as he entered the city.
But when the two arrived, they were stunned.
This place was very different from what they imagined. The alchemists they had seen all had luxurious shops and grand displays, but this medicine shop was simply furnished. Except for a faint smell of herbs, it was nothing like what an alchemist should look like. At first glance, it made people think it was a small medicine shop opened by a quack doctor in the mortal world.
But what surprised the two was that the place was full of people, some were ecstatic, some looked expectant, and more were distressed.
"Brother Kunxu, is this really the alchemy shop of that person? You are not mistaken, are you?" The middle-aged Tong looked suspicious. Judging from this simple little medicine shop, he really doubted whether the people inside were really as capable as the legend said.
Master Kunxu was also stunned. The scene in front of him was very different from what he had imagined. However, seeing the crowd lining up at the door, he still coughed and said, "According to the information sent back by the disciples, this is indeed the alchemy workshop of the master of alchemy. As for whether the other party is really as omnipotent as the rumors say, let's go in and take a look, right?"
The middle-aged man surnamed Tong frowned, thought about it for a while and nodded, saying, "That's the only way."
Just then, there was a noise in the crowd. The two looked in surprise and saw a thin young man walking out of the medicine shop and shouting to the crowd, "Everyone, Senior Ye said that except for those who have what the senior needs, no one else will be seen. Please go back!"
As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion in the crowd. Many people were indignant, but they didn't know what they were thinking. After muttering for a while, they finally left in a huff.
Master Kunxu and the middle-aged Tong were surprised to see this scene. There were many masters of the same level of magic power among the cultivators in the queue, but they seemed to be very afraid of the owner of the medicine shop.
"This man seems to be Li Bu, the leader of the Zhenggan Gang. Why is he here? Could it be that the master of Dandao is from their Zhenggan Gang?" The middle-aged Tong looked at the foundation-building cultivator and recognized his identity.
"How could a mere Zhenggan Gang have such a person? In my opinion, this guy is probably just helping the other party." Master Kunxu rolled his eyes and guessed the situation of the medicine shop in one sentence.
After hesitating for a moment, the two of them stepped forward.
"Hey, it seems that the two seniors are also here to ask for pills. I have just conveyed Senior Ye's meaning clearly. If you don't have what Senior Ye needs, please go back."
The foundation-building cultivator was Li Bu. Seeing the two people coming up, he couldn't help but wonder.
"How do you know that we don't have what the alchemist needs? I heard that the alchemist needs red fire copper. You might as well go and inform him and see if he wants to make pills for us." Master Kunxu said lightly.
"Red fire copper?" Li Bu's eyes flickered, and he said, "Please wait a moment, I will go and inform you."
Speaking of it, Li Bu was also very confused. A few months ago, Ye Chunyang asked him to find a medicine shop in Tianyang City and said that whoever could provide what he needed could make any pill for him.
Such a bold statement really surprised Li Bu, but Ye Chunyang's alchemy skills in the past few months made him feel incredible. Many people who came to the door reported all kinds of rare elixirs, but this person never failed once, and the pills he made were of higher quality than those of the same level, and were highly praised.
However, the rule that he used various spiritual materials as conditions for alchemy also discouraged many people. If it was ordinary spiritual materials, it would be fine, but everything he needed was unconventional, and some materials were only recorded in ancient books. For example, there were more than 30 people waiting in line outside today, but no one could meet his requirements.
Red Refining Fire Copper was one of the many spiritual materials that Ye Chunyang had mentioned.
When he heard that Master Kunxu and the middle-aged man surnamed Tong were bringing this thing, how could Li Bu dare to neglect it, and hurriedly went to the inner hall.
Seeing this, the two were not anxious, and waited quietly in the medicine shop. However, when Li Bu entered the inner hall, they looked over from time to time, as if to see if there was any clue inside.
But soon they were surprised to find that this medicine shop seemed simple, but in fact it concealed an amazing restriction. Even with their mid-stage cultivation of magic power, they could not see anything at all. The spiritual consciousness probed into it like escaping into an invincible abyss, and could not get any response.
This discovery immediately made the two more afraid of the owner of the medicine shop.
How can ordinary people set up a ban that even they can't spy on?
After looking at each other with horror, the two dared not to investigate any more and waited silently in the front hall.
Not long after Li Bu left, he reappeared here in just half a moment, bowed to the two, and said: "Thank you for waiting for a long time, Senior Ye, I have already conveyed your meaning to Senior Ye, Senior, please go in."
Master Kunxu and the middle-aged man surnamed Tong were delighted to hear this, and hurriedly followed Li Bu into the inner hall.
Passing through several door curtains, the two vaguely saw a figure in their sight. He was wearing black clothes, with a slender figure. In front of him was a pill furnace, which was curling with green smoke. As soon as he entered, a pleasant medicinal fragrance came to his nose.
After entering the inner hall, the two immediately focused their attention on this black-clothed monk. Seeing that he was so young, they couldn't help but feel surprised.
It's no wonder they are like this. The other party looks like he's only in his early twenties, and it's hard to associate him with the word "master of alchemy".
Moreover, the aura of this black-clothed monk seems to be there and not there, and it seems that his cultivation is not high. The two really doubt whether he can make pills for them.
Full of doubts, Master Kunxu carefully looked at the other party for a few times and said: "Are you the mysterious monk who is rumored to be able to refine all kinds of pills? What we need is the pills of the mana period. I wonder if you can refine it?"
Ye Chunyang saw the doubts of the two people in his eyes, and did not mean to explain. He just said lightly: "What pills do you want?"
Seeing his calm expression, Master Kunxu and the middle-aged man surnamed Tong looked at each other, and saw the surprise in each other's eyes, but still replied: "We each need to be determined. A Heart Pill. I heard that you need Red Fire Copper. If you can help me and I refine the pill, I will offer you the treasure with both hands. "
"Heart Pill? You two are in the middle stage of magic power. This pill can really help you consolidate your cultivation."
Ye Chunyang's eyes flickered slightly, as if he was thinking about something. After a moment, he slowly raised his hand and said, "I have a rule here. Take the object first and then refine the pill. Take out the Red Fire Copper in your hand! I will decide whether to agree to your request after I have seen it. "
The two were stunned when they heard this.
Although the Red Fire Copper was not a particularly precious thing for them, the rule of taking the object first and then refining the pill was really unprecedented, and it was a verbal agreement, which made them a little uneasy.
Master Kunxu looked grim, and said, "Alchemists have always traded after the pills are made, but you want to collect the payment first, isn't that unreasonable?"
"Hahahaha..."
Just then, a long laugh suddenly came in. Ye Chunyang remained calm, but Master Kunxu and the other two were surprised, because when the sound came, it was accompanied by an astonishing spiritual pressure, which made them change color.
"I have heard that Fellow Daoist Ye has outstanding alchemy skills. I, Zhao, have admired him for a long time. I came to visit you today. I wonder if you can make one for me?" A sturdy middle-aged man ignored Li Bu's obstruction and strode into the inner hall. The cold breath made Master Kunxu and the middle-aged Tong on the side breathless.
"Late stage of magic power!"
The two people's faces changed slightly, and they hurriedly made way.
The sturdy figure ignored them and sat down directly in front of Ye Chunyang.
Ye Chunyang looked at the sturdy middle-aged man and said calmly: "What kind of elixir do you want to refine, and what spiritual materials have you brought? As long as the conditions are met, I will refine the elixir for you."
While Ye Chunyang was looking at the sturdy middle-aged man, the other party also scanned him with his spiritual sense, and found that the other party seemed to have a low level of cultivation, and there was a little more contempt on his face.
"Oh, so you want to charge spiritual materials as a reward for refining elixirs for others? I haven't heard of this. How about you refine the elixir first, and I will offer the spiritual materials as appropriate?"
The sturdy middle-aged man chuckled.
Ye Chunyang's expression remained unchanged, and he said, "I only take what I need when refining pills. If you don't have such conditions, please go back!"
The sturdy middle-aged man's expression was restrained when he heard this, and he laughed gloomily: "Hehe, you are very arrogant. Do you know that I am a disciple of Huanglong Zhenren of Yinsha Valley? You have to refine this pill today, or you have to refine it. Otherwise, don't blame me for checking your background and destroying your whole family!"
Ye Chunyang frowned slightly. It turned out that he was a demon cultivator. No wonder he was so rampant and wanted to kill the whole family if he didn't agree with him.
It's a pity that he was alone, and the other party had nowhere to find him even if he wanted to kill him.
He shook his head and sighed, and looked at this person with a smile.
The sturdy middle-aged man was grinning, and suddenly felt as if a sharp and unparalleled pressure invaded his mind. His face turned pale and cold sweat flowed down.
"You! You are..."
His laughter stopped abruptly, and when he looked at Ye Chunyang again, his face was full of fear as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight. He was speechless for a long time, and then suddenly turned around and fled in a panic.
Surprise flashed in the minds of Master Kunxu and the other two.
They looked at the back of the sturdy middle-aged man in confusion, but they saw a scene that shocked them. The sturdy middle-aged man suddenly stiffened after walking a few steps after escaping from the medicine shop. Blood slowly flowed from the corners of his eyes, mouth and nose, and then he fell to the ground with a plop, and lost consciousness.
The two took a breath and turned to look at Ye Chunyang. The latter still had a faint smile on his face, as if the scene that happened to the sturdy middle-aged man had nothing to do with him.
But Master Kunxu and the middle-aged man surnamed Tong saw clearly that the sturdy middle-aged man was clearly frightened by this person's look. Could it be that this person was so powerful that he could kill a late-stage master of magic power invisibly with just a glance?
