Chapter 17: Beast Control Gate
Xuanji Gate.
Elder Qingfeng lay leisurely on the wicker chair, feeling drowsy under the sunlight.
In the past, he would not have dared to be so wanton.
But who asked the leader to retreat? The master who was senior to him was also traveling. No one in the Xuanji Sect could restrain him anymore, so he could relax as he pleased.
But his purity was soon broken.
He frowned and called the eldest disciple who was not far away, and asked angrily: "Shangyuan has gone crazy while refining alchemy, why is he so angry?"
A few hills away, you can hear the roar of Shangyuan.
Ning Xiuzhu said warmly: "Disciple doesn't know. If master wants to know, it's better to ask Uncle Shangyuan directly."
When Elder Qingfeng heard this, he shook his head repeatedly. He did not want to get into trouble with Shangyuan.
It's just that I can't help but wonder what happened.
Elder Qingfeng is not the only one who has such thoughts.
Shangyuan Zhenren's disciples huddled their necks, enduring the stormy anger of their master, and secretly complained in their hearts.
Not long ago, the master was giving them gentle instructions, but after taking a look at the sound transmission plate, it was like an elixir furnace that had been baked under high temperature for a long time, and it exploded.
They didn't even know the reason, so they could only keep their heads down and endure the punishment.
Master Shangyuan became even more angry when he saw that all his disciples were wilting and drooping.
These disciples of his can barely handle it individually, but when compared with others, they are simply incompetent.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He waved his hand and kicked all the disciples out. He closed the door and thought about the tempering method given to him by his master.
He had also studied how to use waste elixirs before, but he always couldn't get it right.
The master's tempering through the palm of the heart fire gave him inspiration.
Thinking of her master who was practicing outside, Master Shangyuan felt sad secretly. If his master became an alchemy cultivator, he would definitely be able to accomplish a great deal, but it was a pity that this was not her ambition.
He had witnessed his master's astonishing understanding with his own eyes. To put it bluntly, if the master's identity had not been revealed, he would have wanted to snatch his master back to their Danfeng and inherit the Taoist tradition.
After sighing for a while, Master Shangyuan first looked at the sound transmission plate and expressed his cordial concern for his master's current situation, and then said that he needed to study it first and inform his master when there was news.
After receiving a simple reply from Xu Yi, Master Shangyuan closed the cave and plunged into the alchemy room in the backyard.
…
Beast Control Gate.
After Yin Li handed over the task, she finally got rid of the enthusiastic Senior Brother Zhou and returned to her residence.
Before she could sit down, the sound transmission sign around her waist vibrated slightly. She glanced at it and turned to walk towards the cave of her master, Changshou Zhenren.
The cave of Changshou Zhenren is located at the top of Tianqiong Peak, with a bottomless pool next to it.
When Yin Li arrived outside the cave, he did not rush in. Instead, he bowed to the deep pool and saluted, saying respectfully: "Uncle Xuanwu."
After the words fell, there was a long silence.
Yin Li's expression did not change and she continued to maintain her polite posture.
It took about half a stick of incense to touch.
Hua Hua——
The calm water was slightly rippled, but soon became calm again.
Yin Li knew that this was Uncle Xuanwu's response, and after another salute, he went straight into the cave.
"I met the master."
Changshou Zhenren wears a dark green Taoist robe, has short eyebrows, small eyes, and two long beards on both sides of his mouth. His appearance is unattractive, and it is difficult for people to associate him with the head of the Beast Control Sect.
When he saw Yin Li, the corners of his mouth raised, and the long beards on both sides also raised high.
"My good disciple, you are finally back."
He spat out word after word.
Yin Li had long been accustomed to her master's slow way of speaking and nodded slightly.
After Changshou Zhenren laughed for a while, the smile on his face gradually faded.
He sighed sadly, "Your senior master, brother, is out."
Yin Li was startled and quickly asked: "Where has he gone?"
Master Changshou said in a deep voice: "Wan Yao Ling."
Yin Li frowned slightly. As a disciple of the Beast Control Sect, she knew the dangers of Ten Thousand Demon Ridge.
Even the masters and uncles in the sect also warned the disciples sternly not to go to Ten Thousand Yaoling. How could the senior brother go there suddenly.
Her mind raced, and a possibility came to her mind, and she exclaimed: "Could it be that Senior Brother went to Ten Thousand Demon Ridge to find the resurrected demon fruit that had disappeared for a long time?"
Master Changshou nodded heavily, confirming Yin Li's guess.
A rare look of urgency appeared on Yin Li's face, "How could Senior Brother be so impulsive? The Resurrection Demon Fruit has disappeared for hundreds of years, how could he be sure that there would be one in Ten Thousand Demon Ridge.
To put it bluntly, even if it were possible, it would be difficult for him to get the Resurrection Demon Fruit by himself. Master, why didn't you stop him?"
"He stole, stole, slipped away, and I didn't know about it."
Master Changshou looked innocent.
It was only seven days after his eldest disciple disappeared that he discovered that he had left the Beast Control Sect.
Yin Li stamped her feet anxiously, took out the sound transmission plate, and sent several messages to her senior brother.
After sitting there for several hours, without waiting for the senior brother's response, Yin Li stood up and said decisively: "Master, I want to go to Wanyao Ridge to find the senior brother."
When Master Changshou heard this, he couldn't sit still.
"No, you are promoted to Jindan, Ten Thousand Demons, Ling Tai, and you are in danger."
When he was anxious, he would speak two words at a time.
Yin Li said firmly: "The reason why senior brother is looking for the Resurrection Demon Fruit is also because of me. I can't just watch him take risks alone."
In addition to strengthening the soul, the Resurrection Demon Fruit can also fill in the missing soul of the demon beast. It is a sacred healing product for the demon beast.
Due to its scarcity of efficacy and the fact that it mostly grows in the demon clan, it has not appeared for hundreds of years.
The reason why senior brother Xiong Zhuangzhuang is willing to take risks is to obtain the Resurrection Demon Fruit and cure his contracted monster Xiong Da.
Xiong Da is an earth bear with extremely pure blood. When he reaches adulthood, it is said that he has the power to move mountains and reclaim seas.
Now Xiong Da is still in his infancy, and his strength is comparable to that of a Golden Core cultivator. In an accident, in order to protect Yin Li, his soul was severely damaged, and he is still in a coma.
The Beast Control Sect focuses on beast control techniques. Their most important source of power is monsters, and contracted monsters are even more important.
Xiong Da was injured, and Xiong Zhuangzhuang, who originally had the top combat power among his disciples, was also affected, causing a lot of criticism.
Fortunately, Xiong Zhuangzhuang was simple-minded and was not depressed because of this. He was just worried about Xiong Da's injury.
After knowing from somewhere that there might be a resurrected demon fruit in Wan Yao Ridge, he immediately packed his bags and headed to Wan Yao Ridge.
He was afraid that his master and his junior brothers and sisters would be worried, so he did not explain his whereabouts, but the paper could not cover the fire.
As soon as Master Changshou asked, his traces were exposed.
Master Changshou originally wanted Yin Li, the smartest among his disciples, to find a way to get Xiong Zhuangzhuang back.
But now it seems that this situation has not developed as he expected.
He also looked sad for a while, not knowing what to do.
