Ming Zhiyuan kept smiling along the way, feeling that his face was numb from smiling. It was not until evening that he came to a small town to stop for dinner.
After eating, Baihua said to him with a serious face: "Since we are in a hurry, we don't need to rest here. Let's hurry up at night. When we get to Flowing Fire City, we will have another night's rest before going to Jiuyan Continent.
.”
Ming Zhiyuan couldn't say anything bad at this time, he just nodded repeatedly, "That's very good, that's very good."
But when he turned around and saw Yirou, he asked worriedly: "Yirou, are you tired?"
Although Yirou had never ridden a magical beast in the sky for such a long time, she had been working and doing things since she was a child, so her physical strength could still hold up. Although her whole body was sore at this time, when Baihua said that she would travel all night, she
He also followed: "I'm fine, I'm not doing any work, I'm riding Feng Wu on my way, I'm not tired, it's just that they..."
"It's good that they're not tired. They're fine. They're all Martial Gods and Martial Emperors. It's nothing to cover a small distance."
Ming Zhiyuan answered without hesitation. Everyone got on the back of the monster, and Liang Zai and Feng Wu flew up again and headed towards Flowing Fire City.
While Ming Zhiyuan was still rushing on his way, the large and small martial arts families summoned by the Sanji Family on the Jiuyan Continent had not yet arrived.
Yan Guan was sitting in the room on the second floor of the main building, thinking about what Ming Zhiyuan said about bringing in leadership talents recommended to the Jiuyan Martial Arts Clan.
Regarding Ming Zhiyuan, he never knew what attitude he should use to face the Tianyuan Alchemist who helped him win the position of the head of the Yan family.
It can be said that by now, Ming Zhiyuan has a deep understanding of Jiuyan Continent, but he knows nothing about Tianyuan Continent.
I originally wanted to ask the Master of the Yu clan, but I was afraid that it would cause taboo in the Alchemist Sect.
But he was really afraid of Tianyuan Continent in his heart. He didn’t know what Tianyuan Continent’s intentions were towards Jiuyan Continent. With flying monsters, they could actually sneak attack Jiuyan Continent. However, the Tianyuan people did not do this. Instead, they attacked Jiuyan Continent.
Established his own alchemy sect.
Send your own alchemy masters to Jiuyan Continent to provide various elixirs to the martial arts families in Jiuyan Continent in an absolutely fair way, and even send alchemists to settle in the martial arts families.
Is this an attempt to show favor to the Nine Flame Continent and to form an alliance? Or is there some other conspiracy?
He knew that Ming Zhiyuan came from Tianyuan Continent, but he didn't tell anyone about it. Now only he and his son Yanshan know about it.
Yan Guan did not have the grand ambitions of his previous family leader, who wanted to unify the four continents, but he also did not want to see a person from another continent with an unknown purpose being loved by many martial arts families in Jiuyan Continent.
It would be fine if Tianyuan Continent only wanted to form an alliance with Jiuyan Continent, but what if Tianyuan Continent had ulterior motives and used the benefits of the elixir as a guide to have other plans for Jiuyan Continent?
Therefore, Yan Guan was a little afraid of Ming Zhiyuan and the alchemy sect behind him.
Although he was afraid, he never thought about taking the alchemist's sect into his hands like the previous head of the Yan family. He understood that it was indeed easy for a warrior to take control of the alchemist's life, but if the purpose of controlling the alchemist was to make the alchemist do something for him
That would be stupid.
After much thought, he realized that it would not be a good idea to drive the Alchemist Sect out of Jiuyan Continent. On the one hand, the role of the Alchemist Sect on the martial arts family made him unable to abandon it. On the other hand, Ming Zhiyuan did not show any desire to do so.
You have to figure out what the martial arts family means.
Even for the Yu family, such a small second-rate family, Ming Zhiyuan is still the resident alchemist of the Yu family.
When he saw Yu Yizhi again this time, he could easily feel from the aura on his body that the old patriarch seemed to be no weaker than him in the realm of martial master.
According to the age of the old patriarch, at this age, he should not have made any progress in martial arts. On the contrary, when people get old, both Qi, blood and Dantian will inevitably deplete, which will lead to the deterioration of martial arts.
The head of my hometown is probably in his eighties or almost ninety years old, but he is still able to take a step closer to martial arts? This is obviously the result of the alchemist who has settled in his family.
Even the current head of the Yu family, Yu Lianwu, has a turbulent aura, and there are faint signs of being promoted to Martial Lord.
Yan Guan frowned and weighed repeatedly in his mind, hesitating whether he should tell other Jiuyan martial arts families that Ming Zhiyuan came from Tianyuan Continent, and remind other martial arts families to be wary of the Alchemist Sect.
Just when he was hesitating, a person came up from the stairs on the second floor, it was his son Yanshan.
Yan Shan came forward and bowed to his father before. Yan Guan glanced at him, pointed to the chair next to him, and said angrily: "Sit down, what do you want? If you don't seize the time to practice, what are you going to do?
"
Yan Shan had no scruples at all in front of his father. He sat down next to his father and said, "Father, are you still worried about the matters of the Alchemist Sect?"
Yan glanced at his son. His son looked honest and honest, but in fact he had an exquisite heart and a clear mind.
"Well, if you have any ideas, just tell me."
Yan Shan picked up the tea cup that his father had drank from on the table, raised his neck, drank the tea in the cup, and said with a smile: "Father, the alchemy sect's martial arts are weak, what is there to be afraid of? On the contrary, no matter where they come from,
As long as they are from the mainland, it will be beneficial to us. If they have other ideas, or want to lead the Jiuyan Continent martial arts family like Yan Chang, if they want, that's fine."
"Huh?" Yan Guan snorted angrily and slapped the table, making the teacup on the table bounce. Yanshan quickly stabilized the teacup and continued with a smile: "Father, please don't be angry first."
Seeing Yan Guan glaring at him sideways, he hurriedly said: "That's it, think about it, the entire alchemy sect is composed of alchemists with weak martial arts, what do they need to practice alchemy?
They are nothing more than some heavenly materials and earthly treasures that can be used to refine elixirs, and various medicinal materials. The demand for spiritual stone resources by alchemists is very low. Even if they need them, they cannot rob them from the hands of warriors. They are just taking the elixirs.
In exchange for spiritual stones.
Isn’t that a good thing for us? If the Alchemist Sect wants to rule the entire Jiuyan Continent family, that would be even better. If we follow the Alchemist Sect, we must give us some benefits, not much, everyone
Yue's supply of elixirs must provide some convenience to the martial arts family that supports him, right?
Think about the several branches of our Yan clan? Isn’t it all like this? Father, if you want to be the head of the family, you can do it. As long as it’s beneficial, why wouldn’t they do it?
As for your benefits, they are what the head of the family deserves. If they don't become the head of the family, they can't be the head of the family. Instead, their own benefits are greater than before.
So why should you be dissatisfied with whoever is the head of the family? Anyway, your own interests will not decrease but increase."
Yan Guan fell into deep thought after listening to his son's words.
After a long time, he said: "Then if the Alchemist Sect wants to rule the Jiuyan Continent, what benefits will they want to get?"
"First, at least they can exchange all the heavenly materials and earthly treasures from Jiuyan Continent. Secondly, the alchemy master's martial arts is weak, and the martial arts family can protect the alchemy master. Thirdly, Tianyuan Continent definitely needs me, Jiuyan."
During the Yan Continent.
It's hard to talk about this son now. Fortunately, such things must be done voluntarily. If anything happens, it's not too late to talk about it then.
Besides, it will only be a matter of time before the four continents unite. When the time comes, there will definitely be a fight in the entire continent. It is a good thing for us to form an alliance with the Alchemist Sect first.
I think Tianyuan Continent may not have the idea of forming an alliance, which is why the Alchemist Sect came to test us first, don’t you think so?”
Yan Guan glanced at his son. This guy was indeed smarter than him. After listening to his analysis, he really felt that there was no need to worry about where Ming Zhiyuan and the alchemist sect came from.
Seeing that his father was silent, Yanshan thought he was still hesitating, and then persuaded him: "Father, the Qingji Continent must have bad intentions. As soon as the Qingji Mountains collapsed, we didn't even have time to send an envoy to visit them.
The warriors came to kill us. This is obviously testing the strength of our Jiuyan Continent. At this time, it is appropriate for us to form an alliance with Tianyuan Continent."
Yan Guan nodded slightly, "According to what you said, we won't take the initiative to reveal the origin of the Alchemist Sect?"
"We don't need to say it. I believe the Alchemist Sect itself will say it. The Qingji Mountains here have collapsed. There is also a border with the Qingji Mountains on the Tianyuan Continent. Wouldn't it collapse there?
The fire at the border of the Nine Flames Sea is getting weaker and weaker. It won’t take long for the Tianyuan Continent and the Nine Flames Continent to come together. I think the Alchemist Sect will be able to compete with the martial arts of the Nine Flames Continent before the Nine Flames Sea is completely extinguished.
The family has made it clear."
Yan Dian nodded, "You are right. The alchemy sect's martial arts is weak, and we have nothing to be afraid of. No matter how powerful their poison is, as long as we are prepared, it is useless, so let's wait and see.
What exactly is Tianyuan Continent’s idea?”
Yan Guan looked at his father with a smile, "That's right. You don't have to worry too much about this matter. If you have this time, you might as well take advantage of the fact that Sect Master Ouyang is in our house and ask him if he can help.
This is the elixir that warriors cultivate."
Yan Guan glanced sideways at his son, "People from the Alchemy Sect live in our house. I don't believe you haven't asked Sect Master Ouyang these days."
"I asked. There are too many types of elixirs in the alchemy sect. You can want them if you want. The alchemists in the alchemy sect carry alchemy furnaces with them wherever they go. As long as there are treasures from heaven and earth and medicinal materials, they can be used at any time.
You can refine elixirs for us."
"Then what else are you doing here?"
Yanshan saw that his father was a little impatient, so he stood up with a smile, walked behind his father, and massaged his father's shoulders to please him.
"On the third floor, I remember that there are many rare treasures that can be used to refine elixirs. What I meant was to take a few of them to Sect Master Ouyang to see if he could exchange them for some good elixirs. My son, I am now in the Emperor Wu.
In the past few days, I have felt a little bit enlightened about reaching the peak level, so... you see..."
Yan Guan raised his hand and patted his son's hands down, "Go and see for yourself. Sooner or later, the things on the third floor will be yours too. You don't have to lick your face to ask for it from me. You can just decide on your own."
"Hey, well, I knew my father wouldn't object."
Yanshan flattered his father and hurried up to the third floor to look for the treasure.
Yan watched his son's appearance, and his heart warmed slightly. Although his son sometimes smiled playfully and seemed careless, he still did things in a measured way. No matter what he wanted, he would report it to himself first and give his permission.
, he will take it.
Although he is now the head of the Yan family, his son does not have the arrogance and complacency of the heir to the family. Instead, he is more cautious in doing things than before.
With such a son, even if the position of the head of the family is handed over to him in the future, Yan Guan believes that he will never do worse than himself.
Thinking of this, Yan Guan no longer cared about what Yan Shan was looking for on the third floor. He walked to another room on the second floor and started practicing without any distractions.
Not long after, Yan Shan came down from the third floor, holding a few boxes in his arms, and came to the door of his father's practice room. He took a look and did not disturb his father's practice. He walked to his father's study again, took out his pen and ink, and wrote.
I recorded the number and quantity of the treasures of heaven and earth that I took away.
After I finished writing, I blew it gently, took out a paperweight to hold down the page, and went downstairs with my things in my arms.
...
For the past two days, Ouyang Xingzhong, Qinghai, Qu Hongda and two of his disciples stayed in the Yan family's main mansion. They used some medicinal materials they brought with them to refine elixirs.
To practice alchemy, you must work hard to refine various elixirs all the time. Only in this way can you accurately grasp the medicinal properties of medicinal materials, master pharmacology, understand the refining techniques, and even control the intensity of fire through continuous refining.
The martial arts disciple Ouyang Xingzhong had just accepted and who was in the Martial Emperor Realm was currently practicing the technique of tapping and falling while refining alchemy with an empty apprentice stove under his instructions.
Outside the door, Yan Shan's voice came, "Sect Master Ouyang, is Sect Master Ouyang here?"
Ouyang Xingzhong gave another instruction to his disciple, and when he walked out the door, he saw Yanshan holding seven or eight wooden boxes in his arms and looking at him with a smile on his face.
"Master Ouyang, take a look, these are the treasures of heaven and earth that my Yan family has collected for many years."
Ouyang Xingzhong quickly stepped forward and helped him take the wooden box in his arms, "What kind of treasures are these? Let me take a look. Yan's collection must be extraordinary."
"Haha, I can't tell. You have to take a look first."
Ouyang Xingzhong and Yan Shan placed the wooden boxes on the stone table in the courtyard and took a general glance. The eight wooden boxes here were all made of the rare desert century-old purple wood. Such boxes
As long as the treasures for storing medicinal materials are not opened frequently, they will not lose their smell and their medicinal properties will not be easily lost.
Ouyang Xingzhong opened one of the wooden boxes, and inside was a strange-shaped root-like object. He took it out and examined it carefully for a while, then smelled the smell, and his face showed joy, and he said, "This is a good thing, at least it is of the highest quality."
With the Yunxia root that has been around for thousands of years, this can be used with the Nine Transformations Orchid and some other medicinal materials to refine the inner elixir of the warrior who is in the realm of Emperor Wu Zun, a first-grade Gu Yuan elixir that is more powerful."
After that, he carefully put the Yunxia roots into the wooden box and continued to open another box. After opening this box, Ouyang Xing was obviously stunned for a moment. He blinked, as if he didn't understand what it was, and his head
After looking back and forth for a while, I picked up the items in the box and looked at them carefully.
It was a round, dark thing with patches of blood and red. Ouyang Xingzhong looked at it for a while, then moved his nose closer and smelled it. He didn't know how long this thing had been stored, but there were still some.
It is soft, and as Ouyang Xingzhong's fingers press it, it shows the concave shape of each finger.
Ouyang Xingzhong put the thing back into the box. He was in a daze for a long time, and then he said to Yanshan in shock: "Emperor Yanwu, how long has this been something that the Yan family has been collecting?"
Seeing Ouyang Xingzhong's strange expression, Yan Shan suddenly became inexplicably excited, "I don't know about this. Well, you know, Sect Leader Ouyang, my father took over as the head of the family not long ago, and these things belong to the Yan clan before."
Things left by successive family heads."
Ouyang Xingzhong's face gradually turned red. He looked at Yan Shan and continued: "This thing, if I read it correctly, should be the Demon's inner elixir, and it is not an ordinary high-grade Demon's inner elixir. It is most likely the Martial Emperor's inner elixir."
Realm, even the Demonic Inner Alchemy of the Martial Master Realm.”
Yanshan was also stunned, "Demon? What does it have to do with Warcraft?"
There are no demons in the Jiuyan Continent. There are monsters, but they are all defective species resulting from generations of inbreeding among several large families.
What is a demon? Yanshan really doesn’t know.
Ouyang Xingzhong looked at Yanshan with a complicated expression and explained: "Demons and Warcraft have nothing to do with each other. The appearance and body shape of Demons are the same as those of humans. It's just that both Demons and Warcraft use inner elixirs to practice, unlike humans who use inner elixirs."
Dantian cultivation."
Yan Shan opened his eyes wide, is there such a thing?
Ouyang Xingzhong put the wooden box containing the Demon's inner elixir back together and put it away, saying: "I can't distinguish the specific realm of this inner elixir very clearly. You can put it here first until Zhiyuan comes back and let him see it.
Just know it.”
After that, he looked at Yan Shan and said: "If this inner elixir is of great use to my alchemy sect, my alchemy sect will never be stingy in exchanging the elixir with Emperor Yanwu."
Hearing this, Yan Shan immediately said with a smile on his face: "Master Ouyang is too polite. These things have been kept in the Yan family for who knows how many years. They have been passed down from generation to generation, and we don't know what their use is. If they are used by the Alchemy Master Sect,
If you get it, just take it and don’t be polite to me. I, the Yan clan, and the Alchemist sect should have a good relationship with each other and clear up some of the misunderstandings in the past."
Ouyang Xingzhong nodded and said: "We all know that the past events have nothing to do with the head of the Yanguan family. Our alchemy sect is willing to make good friends with all martial arts families."
Yan Shan smiled and narrowed his eyes, "That's right, that's right. I, Yan Sect, have formed a brotherhood with the Alchemist Sect."
While the two were being polite, Ouyang Xingzhong opened the rest of the wooden boxes. They were all filled with rare and rare treasures, and some were even extinct.
The alchemist has the least resistance to such heavenly materials and earthly treasures that can refine the best elixirs.
When Ouyang Xingzhong opened all the wooden boxes, he himself was laughing from ear to ear.
Among them, the one that he found most precious was, of course, the demon inner elixir that was either at the Martial Emperor realm or the Martial Master realm.
With this inner elixir and the inner elixir of the Demon Emperor, Ouyang Xing thought in his heart that Ming Zhiyuan should use these two high-grade inner elixirs to improve his martial arts realm.
