Chapter 655 Chapter 2 Merger
This is stealing business!
I don't know which shameless guy is setting up a stall at someone else's door.
"Thank you for letting me know." Xiao Linghan actually didn't care too much.
He helps people make alchemy just because he wants to collect some rare fairy grasses, the best ones he can get, and if he can't get them, he won't force them.What's more, the quality of the elixirs he refines is so high, people who are not blind will come to him to make elixirs.
After the two left, Xiao Linghan and Shangguan Xuanyi continued to take care of the fairy grass. For them, it didn't matter that there was an extra medicine shop outside.
It has only been six years since the secret realm was opened, and many people who have found opportunities are retreating, and those who have not retreated are almost all practitioners with average strength and luck.
For the next month, no one came to ask for pills, so Xiao Linghan and the two simply closed the pill shop, put up a sign for retreat, and the two retreated directly.
Shangguan Xuanyi is comprehending the law of time, while Xiao Linghan is trying to fuse the spiritual roots of attributes. He has not forgotten the World Tree's explanation that he is required to fuse all the spiritual roots before reaching the fairy realm.
Time flies, and another 40 years have passed in a blink of an eye.
It is now less than four years before the opening of the inner circle.
In these 40 years, Xiao Linghan finally successfully fused the Wind Spirit Root and the Ice Spirit Root, and now only the Dark Spirit Root and the Light Spirit Root have not been fused.
In the valley, Xiao Linghan stood on a construction site. He condensed the eight attributes of the fairy spirit energy of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, thunder, wind, and ice into a small ball the size of a thumb, and aimed it 50 meters in front of him. A big tree with a diameter of one meter was bounced over.
The next moment, "Boom!" A deafening explosion sounded in the valley.
People outside the valley are very curious about what happened in the valley.
"Retreating for so long, alchemist Xiao is not researching some special medicine, is he?"
"The sound just now didn't sound like a fryer?"
"I don't know when alchemist Xiao will leave the pass to continue alchemy?"
"If you want to find someone to make alchemy, isn't there one nearby?"
"What do you know? The one next to you needs five parts of fairy grass to be refined, and there is no guarantee of success. Even if it succeeds, the quality is not guaranteed. Pill Master Xiao is different. The pills that come out are almost all high-grade, and occasionally there will be one or two middle-grade ones."
After hearing this person's explanation, the person who spoke just now pointed to a long row of meditating cultivators at the entrance of the valley, and asked: "Could they just be waiting for Master Xiao to come out?"
"Needless to say, those people must be waiting for Pill Master Xiao to come out, so they can find him to refine the pill."
"Alchemist Xiao's alchemy is really as good as you say?" The man expressed doubts.
"Believe it or not, I'm going to queue."
"..."
Several people nearby heard the conversation between the two and walked towards the back of the queue.
Seeing the long queue over there, the alchemist who opened the elixir gritted his silver teeth angrily.
A male fairy with a gutter nose, seeing Huo Ruizhen's ugly face, hurriedly flattered him and said, "Master Huo, don't pay attention to those people. They were just instigated by villains and kept in the dark. If the alchemy surnamed Xiao It’s really that good, so why did he close it? Besides, his cultivation has reached the peak of the Immortal King, so he doesn’t need to close it at all.”
Hearing this, Huo Ruizhen's dark complexion eased a lot.
"I remember that you want to refine the sixth-level raw bone pill, right?"
"Yes, but I only want three pieces of grass jelly."
Huo Ruizhen frowned slightly, but he remembered that those people said before that the alchemist in the valley only accepted three pieces of fairy grass, he bit it, "It's okay, three is three, you can get the elixir in three days."
"Okay, thank you Alchemist Huo." As he said that, the man quickly took out the interspatial ring containing the fairy grass.
Xiao Linghan didn't know what happened outside the valley.
At this time, he was staring blankly at the big tree that had already changed beyond recognition. Although he had successfully fused eight kinds of spiritual roots before, he hadn't practiced its power. He didn't expect the attack after merging the spiritual roots to be so powerful.
If the attack just hit someone, I don't know what effect it will have.
Now he can't wait to find someone to try his hand.
It's a pity that his current status is a weak alchemist, and he can only wait until later if he wants to find someone to compete with.
Three more days passed.
On the bed in the bamboo hut, Shangguan Xuanyi, who was sitting cross-legged, closed his eyes tightly, and his brows that were originally tightly frowned slowly loosened as time went by.
The long and curly eyelashes under the willow eyebrows trembled a few times, followed by a pair of charming peach blossom eyes slowly opened, the eyes were actually confused.
"Xuan Yi, come back to your senses."
Shangguan Xuanyi subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound, and saw Xiao Linghan sitting by the bed and looking at him quietly.
"Ling Han, how long have I been in seclusion?"
"Not long, only 40 years."
It turned out that only 40 years had passed, but this made Shangguan Xuanyi slowly breathe a sigh of relief. "I feel like 400 years have passed."
The next day.
Just as Shangguan Xuanyi took down the retreat sign, the people outside who were looking for Xiao Linghan's alchemy got up one after another, and they all wanted to rush into the valley excitedly.
Seeing this, Shangguan Xuanyi hurriedly stopped the people walking in, "Alchemists can only make a limited number of pills every day, and only ten people can go in every day, and the others are waiting outside."
I heard that only ten people can enter, and the first ten people are very happy.
In the next few days, Xiao Linghan practiced alchemy, and Shangguan Xuanyi received those cultivators who wanted to refine alchemy.
On this day, after the ten people who entered the valley got the needed pills, eight of them left, but the remaining two refused to leave, but wanted to see Xiao Linghan.
Xiao Linghan came out of the alchemy room, looked at the two fair-looking male immortals, and asked in confusion: "What is the purpose of the two immortal friends looking for Xiao?"
The moment the two of them saw Xiao Linghan, their eyes twinkled with little stars, and they both had smiles on their faces, looking like nympho.
Shangguan Xuanyi at the side was silent.
After a long time, the two actually wanted to recommend themselves as pillow seats.
That's right, this guy Xiao Linghan can be chased by countless people just because of his status as an alchemist, not to mention he is so handsome.
"Hello, Master Xiao, my name is Guo Huan."
"My name is Gu Hongfang."
"We are willing to be your followers."
Seeing the greedy eyes of Guo Heng and Gu Hongfang looking at him, Xiao Linghan's face darkened immediately.He said indifferently: "I'm sorry you two, I don't need followers. You come to me to make alchemy, and I will collect celestial grass as a reward, and we will pay both money and goods. If you two have nothing else to do, please leave."
Seeing Xiao Ling's frosty face, Guo Heng and Gu Hongfang were a little apprehensive.
Even so, the two were still very unwilling and looked at each other.
Gu Hongfang said: "We are willing to be Xiao Danshi's pillow."
Gee!
Does this mean that everyone wants to follow him regardless of his status?
Xiao Linghan narrowed his eyes and sized up the two of them, and said with a sneer, "Heh, I think you want to eat free pills to be my bedside person?"
Since he could see what the two of them were thinking, he said it without hesitation.
There are many kinds of fairy grass in the secret realm, Xiao Linghan has never stopped Shangguan Xuanyi's elixir, and he would throw one into his mouth when he was free.Those who came to Xiao Linghan to practice alchemy saw Shangguan Xuanyi taking the pill so proudly, and they were all envious.
Someone also proposed to follow Xiao Linghan before, but he naturally rejected it.
I didn't expect to meet two more today.
Guo Heng and Gu Hongfang's petty thoughts were directly exposed by Xiao Linghan, and their faces were a little hot, extremely embarrassed and ashamed.
"We both really like Pill Master Xiao."
"I already have a Taoist companion, please leave the two of you." Xiao Linghan issued the order to evict the guests again, in fact, he really wanted to smash the two people in front of him.
After enduring and enduring, he restrained himself from attacking the two of them.
Being rejected mercilessly, Guo Heng and Gu Hongfang were both very angry. They caught a glimpse of Shangguan Xuanyi who was looking at them with glee, and they both gave him a hard look.
Shangguan Xuanyi: "..."
He is just a spectator, why stare at him?
Something is wrong!
In the end, Guo Heng and Gu Hongfang had no choice but to leave unwillingly.
Originally this was just a trivial matter, Xiao Linghan and Shangguan Xuanyi were not at ease, never thought that they would see Gu Heng and Gu Hongfang later.
A month later.
On this day, just as Xiao Linghan finished refining a furnace of pills, there was a noise in his ears.
People who came to the valley to seek pills knew that he was refining alchemy when they saw that he was not outside. Even if there was a formation, the people who asked for pills would subconsciously lower their voices. In such a lively scene like now, it is obvious that something happened.
Walking out of the alchemy room and coming to the courtyard, Xiao Linghan saw a group of people gathered together.
When everyone saw him coming out, they immediately made way for him.
After a few steps to Shangguan Xuanyi's side, Xiao Linghan was full of doubts: "What happened?"
Without waiting for Shangguan Xuanyi to answer, a male fairy said in a strange way: "Hey, this must be the famous alchemist Xiao?"
At this time, Xiao Linghan had already seen a male immortal lying on the ground, and this male immortal was Gu Hongfang whom he met once a month ago.
Hearing the male fairy's words, Xiao Linghan couldn't help frowning, this person was obviously looking for trouble.
He glanced coldly at the male fairy, "Who are you? What's the matter?"
"I am Gu Hongwei, Gu Hongfang's elder brother. Did my younger brother come to you for alchemy a month ago?"
Gu Hongwei has a rough appearance, with beards, and he is tall and big, a head taller than most people.Just standing there still can give people a strong sense of oppression.
Xiao Linghan replied: "Yes."
"Just admit it! Since my younger brother took the elixir you made, he suddenly fell into a coma. He didn't know what happened to him. He gradually became weaker and weaker. It's only been a month since he's already exhaled more energy and less energy. .Do you want to give me an explanation?"
"What kind of explanation do you want?"
"There is a problem with the elixir you made. From today onwards, you are not allowed to make alchemy anymore, and you have to pay us compensation. My brother doesn't know if he will be fine now. You have to take care of him." Gu Hongwei said that he was asking .
A cold light flashed across Xiao Linghan's eyes, and he said coldly, "Is there any more?"
Pulling Guo Heng aside, Gu Hongwei continued: "Guo Heng is a good friend of my younger brother. In case you mistreat my younger brother, he will stay and supervise him....That's it for now, I'll talk about the rest when I think about it."
"Who sent you here?" Xiao Linghan asked suddenly.
Hearing this, Gu Hongwei's eyes flickered, obviously a little guilty, but only for a moment, he returned to normal.
Afterwards, his face was filled with righteous indignation, and he said without anger: "Master Xiao, what do you mean by that? My younger brother and Guo Heng both came to look for you to make alchemy that day, and they were the last to leave. I believe they came together that day Do you alchemists still remember, or do you want to renege on your debts and don’t want to be responsible?”
"You just keep saying that your younger brother took the elixir refined by Ling Han. Who can prove it? What if he ate something else?" Shangguan Xuanyi questioned.
Everyone nodded, after all, they were fine after taking the elixir refined by Xiao Linghan.
"I saw him eat it with my own eyes, but Guo Heng didn't eat it, otherwise something would happen." Gu Hongwei defended himself.
"Hmph! Is your brother okay? Let me check and the truth will be revealed." After speaking, Xiao Linghan walked towards Gu Hongfang who was lying on the ground.
Seeing this, Gu Hongwei immediately stood in front of him, "My younger brother became what he is now after eating the elixir you made, do you want to take this opportunity to kill him so as to cover up the elixir you made, there is a problem fact?"
"Your words are clearly unreasonable." Shangguan Xuanyi was so angry that he really wanted to give this girl a slap.
Gu Hongwei ignored Shangguan Xuanyi, and still stood there motionless.
Glancing at the people on the ground, Xiao Linghan said indifferently: "You don't let me check, are you guilty of guilt, or your brother is fine at all."
Because of Xiao Linghan's words, Gu Hongwei's heart couldn't help trembling violently. He turned his eyes and looked at the people around him, "Look, everyone, my brother is lying on the ground with only one breath left, but Pill Master Xiao is still alive. Do not admit that there is a problem with the elixir he refined."
Everyone: "..." We only want to find Alchemist Xiao to make alchemy, and we don't want to join forces.
Seeing that no one agreed with him, Gu Hongwei scolded everyone in his heart.
At this moment, an abrupt voice sounded: "Ling Han!"
When Gu Hongwei heard this voice, his body trembled subconsciously.
Seeing that the visitor knew Xiao Linghan, everyone stepped aside one after another, revealing the visitor who was outside the crowd.
At the outermost part of the crowd, there were two male immortals dressed in black, handsome in appearance and extraordinary in temperament.
These two people were Yin Tiancheng and Chu Muchen who disappeared after ascending to the fairy world.
Seeing the person coming, Xiao Linghan raised his eyebrows. He hadn't seen him for more than 100 years, and now both of them have reached the late stage of Immortal King.He had a lot of adventures with Shangguan Xuanyi, and there was room for cheating to advance so quickly.
I also know what happened to Chu Muchen and the two of them. Their cultivation speed can be described as a rocket.
"I heard from other people in the secret realm that there is a person who is very good at alchemy here. At that time, we guessed whether this alchemist could be you, but we didn't expect it to be you." After speaking, Chu Muchen and the two had already walked to Xiao Linghan in front of.
"It's so lively here." Yin Tiancheng added after seeing a lot of people around.
Everyone: "..." Everyone watching the play, can't it be lively?
"I met someone who was looking for faults, and everyone was watching the play!" Shangguan Xuanyi replied angrily.
"The one who found fault?" Chu Muchen and Yin Tiancheng looked at the person lying on the ground at the same time.
Everyone was paying attention to the two people who had just arrived, but Gu Hongwei was quietly backing away.
Shangguan Xuanyi saw Gu Hongwei who was about to run away at a glance, and he shouted: "Gu Xianyou, your brother is still lying on the ground, are you going to leave him alone?"
Gu Hongwei froze in place, neither walking nor retreating.
Because of Shangguan Xuanyi's words, Chu Muchen and Yin Tiancheng naturally also saw Gu Hongwei.
Seeing the familiar figure from behind, Yin Tiancheng asked doubtfully, "Hey, I seem to have seen him somewhere?"
When Gu Hongwei heard Yin Tiancheng's words, his body trembled visibly.
Chu Muchen reminded: "A year ago, he was the one who fought with you for three days and three nights."
"Oh, it turned out to be him, so I said why he is so familiar." Yin Tiancheng suddenly said.
Xiao Linghan and Shangguan Xuanyi naturally noticed Gu Hongwei's abnormality, he was obviously afraid of Yin Tiancheng.
"By the way, Ling Han, aren't you helping others to make alchemy? What's the situation?" Yin Tiancheng pointed at the people on the ground, his face full of doubts.
Shangguan Xuanyi answered: "The man on the ground is Gu Xianyou's younger brother. He said that his younger brother ate the elixir made by Ling Han and is dying now. He came to us to ask for an explanation."
Hearing this, Chu Muchen looked at Gu Hongwei with a half-smile, "Gu Xianyou, did your brother really eat the elixir refined by Ling Han to become like this?"
Gu Hongwei stammered back: "When...Of course..." Yes!
Before he could finish speaking, Yin Tiancheng said, "You have to think it through before you speak."
Gu Hongwei showed a smile that was uglier than crying, "My brother must have eaten something bad to become like this."
Xiao Linghan said in a deep voice: "What you said still includes the elixir I made, right?"
Gu Hongwei really wanted to say yes, but when he saw Chu Muchen and the two of them staring at each other, he didn't dare to say yes, so he could only shake his head, "No, not included."
Xiao Linghan continued to forcefully ask: "Then why did you bring your younger brother to find fault with us?"
Unexpectedly, Chu Muchen and the two were so powerful. Just standing there could make Gu Hongwei, who was still invincible just now, tremble with fear.
It seems that he has successfully left everyone with the impression of a weak alchemist over the years.
After seeing Xiao Linghan finished speaking, Gu Hongwei dawdled for a long time without opening his mouth, and all the onlookers stood up one after another.
"Gu Hongwei, tell me quickly!"
"The alchemy that Pill Master Xiao makes is of good quality and has a high success rate. We are fine after taking it. Why do you want to slander Pill Master Xiao?"
"That's right, why?"
"Tell me quickly, we are all still waiting for alchemist Xiao to make alchemy."
"..."
Everyone's urging was like a curse, surrounding Gu Hongwei, making him sweat profusely.
"No, I don't care about my business. Master Huo asked me to do this." Under the persecution of everyone, Gu Hongwei spoke the truth with difficulty.
"Who is Alchemist Huo?" Shangguan Xuanyi asked doubtfully.
Alchemist?
It seems that the other party is also an alchemist. Does this mean that Ling Han's alchemy is better than his?
Therefore, I want to ruin Ling Han's reputation.
This is why Alchemist Huo can't make alchemy by himself, so he blames others for being too good.
Didn't expect them to offend people even if they live here without leaving home?
At this time, someone in the crowd said: "The alchemist outside the valley seems to be named Huo."
Another person added: "I know, that person outside is called Huo Ruizhen."
"The pills he refined are extremely poor, and he has to collect five cents of fairy grass."
As soon as the man finished speaking, he immediately closed his mouth tightly, and carefully glanced at Xiao Linghan.After all, Xiao Linghan only accepts three portions of celestial grass, if he listens to him, he will accept five portions instead.Then he has committed a serious crime, and the people present are afraid that they will hate him to death.
Xiao Linghan was speechless.
They are people living in the valley, and disasters come from outside the valley!
At first, some people said that someone outside opened a elixir shop, but they didn't care.But I didn't expect that they didn't care, but others did.
"Gu Xianyou, how did alchemist Huo contact you two brothers, no, three of you?" Xiao Linghan glanced lightly at Guo Heng who was pretending to be transparent.
"I don't know." As he said, Gu Hongwei turned his attention to Guo Heng.
Guo Heng squatted beside Gu Hongfang, lowered his head, and never said a word.
Seeing this, Xiao Linghan looked at Guo Heng, sneered and said: "Is it because I rejected you before, so you want to take revenge on me. It just so happens that alchemist Huo outside also doesn't like me, so you reached a consensus. After some discussion , and planned today’s scam together. The purpose is to ruin my reputation and prevent me from making alchemy in the future, right?”
Guo Heng's eyes were full of fear at this time, because Xiao Linghan guessed everything right.
The next moment, a sword went straight through his body.
His eyes widened in disbelief, and he fell to the side.
Yin Tiancheng made a sudden move, but before everyone could react, Guo Heng was already dead.
"He doesn't speak, it's a default." He seemed to be explaining to everyone why he killed people.
The corners of everyone's mouths couldn't help twitching.
"Gu Xianyou, your brother is like this now, and I don't know if he can survive. You can take him away." Xiao Linghan looked at Gu Hongwei who was restless.
Hearing this, Gu Hongwei subconsciously glanced at Chu Muchen and Yin Tiancheng, and saw that the two did not speak, obviously acquiescing, so he quickly picked up Gu Hongfang and walked out of the valley.
Everyone saw that there was no excitement to watch, those who had already obtained the pills all left one after another, and those who hadn't asked Xiao Linghan to make alchemy one after another went to Shangguan Xuanyi to register.
When Gu Hongwei went outside the valley, he went directly to Huo Ruizhen, but Huo Ruizhen couldn't save Gu Hongfang.
"That's not what you said at the time. At that time, you said that as long as you take the antidote, my brother will be fine." Gu Hongwei lifted Huo Ruizhen's collar and growled.
"What's your attitude? Let go, I'm an alchemist." Gu Hongwei grabbed the clothes on Huo Ruizhen's chest and couldn't break free.
"If my brother dies, you can go and bury him with him."
After speaking, Gu Hongwei threw Huo Ruizhen to the wall beside him.
The followers of Huo Ruizhen outside heard the noise and immediately ran into the house to check the situation.
Seeing the two people coming, Huo Ruizhen seemed to see a savior, and directly ordered Gu Hongwei: "You two help me kill him."
The three immediately fought.
In the end, Gu Hongwei killed all three of Huo Ruizhen and took Gu Hongfang to find other alchemists.
Silent night.
Gu Hongwei, who was meditating cross-legged in a cave, suddenly opened his closed eyes.
The next moment, he saw Xiao Linghan and Shangguan Xuanyi appearing in front of him.He breathed a sigh of relief when he found that there were no figures of Chu Muchen and Yin Tiancheng behind them.
In Gu Hongwei's view, Xiao Linghan is just a weak alchemist, and Shangguan Xuanyi has the same level of cultivation as him, so he must be the one who wins the fight between the two.
Unfortunately, he was happy too early.
