On the bridge, the hunchbacked old man's eyelids twitched.
"Young man, you demolished the retreat cave and I didn't say anything. How dare you bite me back and accuse me of being unkind?"
If it had been someone else who had demolished the cave and spoke so rudely, the hunchbacked old man would not have killed anyone, but if he had been locked up for ten and a half days, he would have definitely not been able to escape.
But it happened that this person was Jiang Ning.
He was the successor of the ruins chosen by the hunchbacked old man himself, and in the battle just now, Jiang Ning showed amazing talent, so the hunchbacked old man could only hold his nose and recognize him.
Jiang Ning looked around and saw that the original inner demon cave had completely collapsed and turned into ruins during his fight with Teng Shu.
He touched his nose and seemed to feel something was wrong, but after thinking about it, it seemed that this could not be an excuse for the hunchbacked old man not to help him stop Wang Jin.
"Senior, I don't want you to intercept and kill him, but you can at least stop him." Jiang Ning muttered.
It turns out that what Jiang Ning was referring to was being unkind, complaining that the hunchbacked old man didn't take action, causing Wang Jin to escape.
That is a big disaster, and something will happen sooner or later!
The hunchbacked old man said angrily: "It would be great if I could help you trap one of them. If I trap another, I'm afraid that by the time you finish fighting, both of them will be gone!"
As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves.
The stars on the colorful bridge twinkle, forming a picture.
In the picture, Xue Chong has an angry face and keeps yelling.
He was trapped in the Xingsha River.
Jiang Ning's eyes flickered and he showed joy: "Okay, okay, you can keep him. The two of them have evil intentions. The purpose of coming to Jiuzhou Continent is to take my life, but they can't spare me. Thank you, senior, for your thoughtfulness."
The hunchbacked old man's face softened a little, and he said earnestly: "The one who escaped has a palace and qualifications. It is most suitable to keep him as a whetstone on your road to enlightenment in the future."
Jiang Ning sneered.
"I'm afraid he's not good enough to be my whetstone." After saying that, he turned around and continued walking forward, saying: "Senior, I've been working hard to help me trap him for a while. I'm going to take away the opportunity in front of me, and I'll take care of it when I come back."
he."
He waved his hand without looking back.
On the Colorful Bridge, the hunchbacked old man blew his beard angrily and stared.
There are two forked roads ahead of the Heart Demon Cave. One goes down and extends into the darkness. It can only be seen from the occasional flickering of fluorescence that there must be some treasures inside.
The other one leads halfway up the mountain rock.
It was a side room, with two words on the door. It had been damaged by the years, but it could still be barely made out. It said "Alchemy Room".
"Alchemy room." Jiang Ning muttered and decided to go to the alchemy room first.
There was no magic circle set up in the alchemy room, at least Jiang Ning didn't notice it.
After confirming that there was no big problem, he reached out and pushed.
As the stone door creaked open, dust filled the air, and the smell of decay hit our nostrils.
Jiang Ning coughed twice and raised his hand to fan himself.
On the cold stone cabinet, various bottles and jars are neatly arranged. In the left corner, there is a large copper stove two people high, with three legs and two ears, and exquisite patterns carved on it.
"The owner of the ruins is actually an alchemist." Jiang Ning muttered.
There is no threshold for alchemy masters. As long as you are willing to spend time studying herbal medicinal stones, you can get started. However, if you want to practice good elixirs, you need a certain amount of talent and understanding.
But generally speaking, the status of alchemists is pretty good, and they are trained by all major sects and families. However, because alchemists need to spend a lot of time studying elixirs, their combat power is generally not very good.
.
An alchemist who can reach the semi-immortal level is already a well-known figure on the Kyushu continent.
"The master was also regarded as a guest by the four sects of the Five Courtyards back then. He left all his experience in alchemy here. If you can inherit the mantle, your future achievements will be limitless."
The hunchbacked old man appeared out of nowhere, sighing with a nostalgic look on his face.
Jiang Ning was startled.
He is really annoyed by these gods and ghosts, they always like to appear quietly.
"I'm not interested in this." Jiang Ning said this and started his search.
He punched each bottle in front of his nose and smelled it.
As long as the smell has not changed, put it away; if the smell has changed, throw it away.
The hunchbacked old man looked on with veins popping in his forehead.
After a while, Jiang Ning swept away the entire alchemy room and looked at the large copper furnace.
The hunchbacked old man dodged and hurriedly stood in front of the alchemy furnace and said: "If you don't inherit the master's alchemy path, then don't try to get rid of the alchemy furnace. At least leave something for the future successors!"
Jiang Ning rubbed his hands and said: "Senior, no one has come to this place for more than ten years. Don't count on it. Let me take you out. Although I have no interest in Alchemy, I can help you find the right person!"
The hunchbacked old man hesitated.
Jiang Ning was right, in this place, not a single ghost would be seen for ten to eight years, of course, excluding the hunchbacked old man himself, after all, he was a century-old ghost.
And how long can I last in my current state?
Instead of doing this, it would be better to let Jiang Ning take the alchemy furnace out and find a suitable person to pass it on. In this way, the master's alchemy path is not buried.
After a long time, the hunchbacked old man sighed deeply and moved away.
"Remember what you just said, otherwise, even if I am reduced to ashes, I will strangle you little bastard to death." He threatened with a fierce look.
Jiang Ning was not afraid at all. He waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I am very reliable in my work." He passed directly through the hunchbacked old man's body and put away the copper stove with a mustard bag.
The hunchbacked old man did not stop him, but when the copper stove disappeared, a trace of reluctance flashed in his eyes.
After searching for the alchemy furnace, Jiang Ning stretched out his hand and asked, "I gave you the alchemy furnace, but where is the note?"
Inheritance requires supporting things.
The hunchbacked old man suppressed his irritated mood and said in a deep voice: "There is no handbook. The master's alchemy skills are all in the copper furnace. Those with talent will naturally see it."
After speaking, he disappeared without waiting for Jiang Ning to speak.
Jiang Ning raised his eyebrows, took note of his words, and walked out of the alchemy room.
Next, go to the other road you just saw.
"I ran so fast, I didn't even have time to ask what was at the end." Jiang Ning looked at the firelight flashing from time to time in the darkness in the distance, feeling a little confused.
Some strong men like to make messy things in their caves, and the place where they place messy things is very similar to what they see now.
The corners look very dangerous!
After thinking about it, Jiang Ning still wanted to ask the hunchbacked old man, but he didn't know whether the old man was angry or hiding in that corner feeling sad. In short, he didn't come out.
There was no other way, Jiang Ning had no choice but to bite the bullet and do it himself.
"I hope the owner of the ruins doesn't have any weird habits, otherwise my little life will probably be lost here..." Jiang Ning muttered and stepped onto the stone steps.
The stone steps were quite safe, so we walked along without incident.
But at the end of the stone steps, there were two completely different things.
In the black space where you couldn't even see your fingers, only scattered firelight flickered in the air.
