Chapter 62 One person does things and one person is responsible!
Red Dust Palace.
"Piaoxue Tower, Master Mu Long is here!"
Following the old eunuch's shout, Mu Long, a boy with white hair and a boyish face, strode in.
"Old man Mu, you are finally released from seclusion."
Xiao Hongchen, who was having a drink with Gu Jian, stood up and joked.
"Little sister, don't be rude."
Unexpectedly, as soon as Xiao Hongchen finished speaking, Xiao Jinyan warned him.
She stood up slowly, bowed slightly towards Mu Long, and said seriously: "Congratulations to Master Mu Long for breaking through to the fifth level and becoming the second alchemy master in the kingdom."
"What, Master of Alchemy!"
After hearing this, everyone at the scene could not sit still and stood up quickly.
"I'll wait to see Master Mu Long!"
"Xiao Heng meets Master Mu Long!"
Even the eldest prince Xiao Heng raised his hands at this moment, not daring to be disrespectful.
In the former Tianxing Kingdom, there was only one master of alchemy, and that was the owner of Piaoxue Tower who was qualified to sit on an equal footing with the king, and who was the leader of the divine dragon!
But now, Mu Long has also broken through the Alchemy Master, which means that he is also qualified to stand at the top of the kingdom's pyramid, and can look down on all living beings with a very few supreme beings such as the Lord of Tianxing Kingdom, the owner of Piaoxue Building and the Dean of Tianxing Academy!
This is why even the eldest princess Xiao Jinyan wants to congratulate him, because once he becomes an alchemy master, his status will undergo earth-shaking changes!
What's more, he is also the alchemy master of Piaoxue Tower, so he needs to pay even more attention to it.
"Excuse me, everyone. I just broke through by chance. There is no need to go to war."
Mu Long smiled very easily.
After saying this, he took out a wooden box from his arms and handed it to Xiao Hongchen.
"Your Highness, little princess, I wish you a happy birthday. This is the fifth-grade elixir I have refined for you. Only one pill should be enough for you to reach the middle stage of Yuan Dan."
"Thank you, Master Mu Long."
Xiao Hongchen saluted respectfully.
Mu Long nodded happily and looked at Gu Jian next to him with a respectful expression on his face.
"Mulong pays homage to Mr. Gu."
Mu Long bowed deeply.
"hiss!"
Seeing this scene, everyone present took a breath!
Mu Long Breakthrough Alchemy Grandmaster is already a figure standing at the top of the pyramid of Tianxing Kingdom, but he actually paid such a grand tribute to Gu Jian in front of so many people!
What's happening here?
Even though Gu Jian is also a genius in alchemy, he is only a fourth-grade master at most. How can he deserve to be so respectful to Master Mu Long?
"good."
Gu Jian looked at the respectful Mu Long in front of him and nodded happily.
Mu Long broke through the alchemy master, but he did not forget his teachings and saluted him in front of so many people. He really saw the right person.
"Master Mu Long, please take a seat."
After Xiao Hongchen learned that Mu Long was no longer what he used to be, he also restrained his willfulness.
After all, if she is rude to an alchemy master, even her most beloved father will be unhappy.
After Mu Long sat down, the center of the normal banquet gradually shifted from Xiao Hongchen to Mu Long and Gu Jian.
Many guests, including the eldest prince Xiao Heng, toasted Mu Long and Gu Jian.
As the alchemy master, Mu Long is vaguely the person with the highest status in the pavilion. On the other hand, Gu Jian is respected by Mu Long, which makes people think that he is not simple.
No matter what, we must make good friends!
During this period, the eldest princess Xiao Jinyan stood up and left the table, looking at Gu Jian.
Looking into each other's eyes, Gu Jian understood the idea and followed him out on the pretext of going to the toilet.
In the back garden, Xiao Jinyan had expelled all the servants before coming here.
"Is Panlong Cauldron safe?"
Xiao Jinyan got straight to the point.
“Don’t worry, it’s safe.”
Gu Jian opened his mouth and said.
"Have you discovered the secret hidden in the Panlong Cauldron?" Xiao Jinyan asked again.
Gu Jian held his breath and said, "I haven't discovered any secrets about it yet."
You must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others. The Panlong Cauldron is related to the inheritance of the Martial Saint. Unless Xiao Jinyan finds out on his own, he cannot leak it out.
It's not that he doesn't trust Xiao Jinyan, but that he has experienced betrayal and knows that people's hearts are not as old as they used to be.
"Didn't you find it? I found some clues. Do you want to hear it?"
Xiao Jinyan asked calmly.
"Knowing too much seems to be of no benefit to me." Gu Jian smiled bitterly.
"That night, you told me that the Panlong Cauldron is yours and no one can take it away.
Of course I have no objection, but you don’t want to know the origin of such a hot potato?"
Xiao Jinyan's expression remained unchanged.
"Say it."
Gu Jian said calmly.
"Do you understand the Longteng Mountains?"
"Of course, the Longteng Mountain Range starts from the Western Desert in the west, borders the Guixu Coast in the east, and spans the entire seventy-two regions of the Southern Wilderness. It is the first mountain range in the Southern Wilderness." Gu Jian replied.
"According to the investigation of the Mirror Division, the Panlong Cauldron was excavated by the Daqian royal family in the Longteng Mountains twenty years ago."
Xiao Jinyan opened her mouth to explain.
"It's just that on the way back to the imperial capital of Daqian, a force of unknown origin robbed the transportation team. The Daqian escort team had a battle with that force, and the whereabouts of the Panlong Cauldron are unknown.
Five years ago, the Qingshan County Sheriff's Office announced the list of prizes for the next five years of talent wars, and the words Panlong Cauldron appeared.
A thoughtful person connected the Coiling Dragon Cauldron on the list with the Coiling Dragon Cauldron twenty years ago, and finally confirmed this fact."
"Daqian Empire, unknown forces... It seems that this Panlong Cauldron is really a hot potato." Gu Jian narrowed his eyes slightly.
There are seventy-two domains in the Southern Wilderness, and the Daqian Empire exclusively occupies nine domains. Compared with the Tianxing Kingdom, which has nearly a hundred kingdoms and sects crowded into one Yongning domain, it is undoubtedly a giant!
But for such a profound existence, there is actually an unknown force that dares to rob their escort team. It can be seen that the depth of the Panlong Cauldron is enough to suffocate people.
"Gu Jian, I know you value the Panlong Cauldron very much, but for your own safety, you should probably abandon it." Xiao Jinyan said calmly.
"How to abandon?"
Gu Jian asked back.
"It's very simple, just put it in a ring and throw it into a river, and it will naturally disappear without a trace." Xiao Jinyan said.
"But I don't want to do this."
Gu Jian shook his head and refused.
"I understand your feelings, but if you don't think about your own safety, you have to think about the lives and safety of hundreds of millions of people in the Tianxing Kingdom, right? Who knows that behind the Li family, there is someone who accidentally knows the truth about the Panlong Cauldron. Home, the Daqian Empire or that mysterious force?"
Xiao Jinyan looked serious.
"I'm really worried that the kingdom will face catastrophe because of the Coiling Dragon Cauldron in your hand."
"I know you care about the safety of the kingdom. After all, if you are someone who wants the secrets of the Panlong Cauldron, there is no need to tell me so much. You will definitely have the strength to take the Panlong Cauldron away."
Gu Jian looked into Xiao Jinyan's eyes and said stubbornly:
"But I have long said that I will not let anyone take away what belongs to me, not even people from the Daqian Empire.
Your Highness, Princess Eldest, don’t worry, if that day comes, even if I’m at the end of my rope, I won’t let disaster bring disaster to the Tianxing Kingdom, I, Gu Jian, will do everything by myself!”
