Chapter 567 The old villain peeks into the mystery!
When Zhong Qingsong saw Lin Xueqing, he immediately stood up with a smile and said to her enthusiastically: "Qing'er, come here quickly and introduce you to a famous practitioner. This is the head of the Yin and Yang Sect in Wuhua Mountain, Zheng Yuan.
, this is his beloved disciple, Lu Fengping."
Lin Xueqing and her master seldom walked in the world. Except for the last time she participated in the tea art competition, she almost never interacted with outsiders, so she developed a withdrawn, unruly, proud and conceited character. But even though she rarely went out into the world, she still
Knowing something about Zheng Yuan, she glanced at Zheng Yuan and suddenly asked: "Are you Zheng Yuan?"
When Zhong Qingsong saw that Lin Xueqing was speaking very rudely, his expression changed and he scolded: "You bastard, why are you talking?"
Zheng Yuan smiled and stroked his gray beard and said: "It doesn't matter, young man!" After saying that, he took out a jade ring from his arms and handed it over with a smile: "I came in a hurry and didn't bring anything with me.
A decent gift, your master and I are close friends, this little gift is disrespectful, haha, the little doll is wearing it for fun!"
Lin Xueqing took a look at the jade ring and saw that it was all emerald green without any flaws. It was obviously a rare jade treasure. She was secretly surprised, but she did not take the jade ring and asked instead: "Zheng Zhenren, I heard that your reputation seems not to be good."
How’s that for good?”
This sentence made Zheng Yuan and Zhong Qingsong change their expressions at the same time. Zhong Qingsong shouted angrily: "Qing'er, you are so presumptuous! Zheng Zhenren is my savior, how can you talk to him like this!"
Zheng Yuan's face changed at first, and a trace of resentment flashed across his eyes, but it disappeared quickly, and soon his face was filled with a kind and generous smile. He stroked his beard and chuckled: "It doesn't matter, in this world
Some people have some misunderstandings about me, and that’s normal.”
Ding Nan on the side also saw the opportunity and said with a charming smile: "Most of the rumors are unbelievable. It is human nature to be jealous of the wise and capable."
Zhong Qingsong quickly said from the side: "Yes, Zheng Zhenren is very capable, so he will naturally arouse the jealousy of others."
Seeing this, Lin Xueqing couldn't help but think of some rumors about Li Yundong, and secretly agreed with their statement in her heart, so she didn't say anything else. However, she didn't collect the jade ring and still asked: "Forget it, don't talk about this, it's a rumor.
It's really unbelievable. However, I can't accept this jade ring. As the saying goes, no reward will be paid for no work. I want to accept your things. If you have any request later, Master and I can do it. If we can't do it, it's okay.
, that’s hard to say. As the saying goes, if you eat people with soft lips, you will take advantage of others with short hands, right?"
Lin Xueqing had sharp teeth and sharp tongue, and her words made Zheng Yuan's face turn green and red. Zhong Qingsong was so angry that he pulled her to him and scolded her in a low voice: "Qing'er, what happened to you today? You took the wrong medicine.
Is this how I taught you to treat others?"
Zheng Yuan suppressed his anger. He chuckled and waved his hands and said, "Brother Zhong, there is no need to lecture her. Your disciple is a sweet-tempered person and speaks straightforwardly. Okay, I like this kind of person! However, your disciple is right.
When I come here this time, I will go to the Three Treasures Hall to ask for help!"
Zhong Qingsong glared at Lin Xueqing, as if he wanted to settle accounts with the queen. He turned his head, smiled and said to Zheng Yuan: "Master Zheng, if you have anything to do, just ask me, and I will do whatever I can!"
Zheng Yuan smiled and said: "I have always heard that I am a good alchemist. My alchemy skills are only under Wan Zhenyuan, the master of Gezao Sect, and he also controls the production channels of a large number of medicinal materials. My beloved disciple has just completed the foundation building recently.
I have already eaten up all the elixirs I stored before, so I want to ask Brother Zhong to replenish them this time."
After hearing this, Zhong Qingsong suddenly showed a look of embarrassment. He hesitated for a moment, and Zheng Yuan on the side immediately said: "Why, Brother Zhong, is there anything that makes you embarrassed? If so, just say it, I will never embarrass you for my brother's sake.
.”
Zhong Qingsong quickly smiled and said: "To be honest, Zheng Zhenren! Recently, all the medicinal materials on hand have been sold out, and there is no inventory at all, so I haven't refined any elixirs. However, I still have a bottle of magic.
The night is over, I wonder if Zheng Zhenren dislikes it or not?"
Zheng Yuan's face was filled with astonishment: "It's all been dumped? Brother Zhong, are you kidding me? As far as I know, all the medicinal materials trading near Huangshan Mountain are in your hands, and you actually don't have any inventory? Which medicine company
The factory has such a big appetite that it swallowed up all your inventory in one bite?"
Zhong Qingsong shook his head and said: "Zheng Zhenzhen is really gone. As for who bought it, I can't say! But please believe me, if there is one, I will definitely give it to you with both hands!"
Zheng Yuan was greatly disappointed and shocked.
Zhong Qingsong was filled with guilt, and he said tentatively: "Zheng Zhenren, why don't you accept my Shenxiao Powder first for emergency use? After a while, it will calm down. I will definitely visit Wuhua Mountain with the prepared elixir?"
Zheng Yuanxin said: Huh, what's the use of a body-building pill like Shenxiaosan! This Zhong Qingsong must be hiding something from me!
When Zheng Yuan saw that Zhong Qingsong was determined and refused to let go, he simply decided to be a good person and stick to it. He waved his hand, smiled magnanimously, and said, "Forget it, you can keep it. I'll come back another day."
Zhong Qingsong said to him with a look of shame on his face: "I'm really sorry for making Zheng Zhenren's journey go in vain."
Zheng Yuan chuckled and was about to speak when he heard a clear female voice coming from outside Songgu An: "Excuse me, Master Zhong An, is Master Wan here?"
The four people in the room were stunned. When they looked outside, they saw a beautiful woman wearing a white dress standing outside. She was slim and ethereal, and it was Ziyuan!
"Why is she here?" This thought flashed through the minds of the four people at the same time.
Lin Xueqing had some issues with Ziyuan before. She glanced at Ziyuan, frowned, walked up, and said loudly: "What are you doing here?"
Ziyuan faced Lin Xueqing's rude questioning. She quickly glanced around, as if looking for the backs of Su Chan and others. She said politely and reservedly: "Master Lin, I want to ask you something.
"
Lin Xueqing frowned and said, "What's the matter?"
Ziyuan said: "Did Li Yundong come to Huangshan with you?"
Lin Xueqing opened her mouth and blurted out: "Yeah, what's wrong?"
Zhong Qingsong on the side suddenly frowned and secretly glared at Lin Xueqing, but Lin Xueqing seemed not to notice.
Ziyuan asked again: "Then where is Li Yundong now? Is he with Sect Master Wan? Has anyone else come to see him?"
Lin Xueqing said bluntly: "No, they..."
Zhong Qingsong immediately interrupted: "They are not here. Sect Leader Wan lives deep in Gezao Mountain. How could they be in Huangshan? I think Master Ziyuan, you must be mistaken?"
Lin Xueqing was stunned for a moment, but soon realized that her master did not want to reveal Wan Zhenyuan's whereabouts, so her heart tightened and she changed her words: "Yes, they are not here!"
Ziyuan saw that the master and the apprentice were unclear in their words and their words were flickering. They were obviously hiding something. She became suspicious and glanced at Zheng Yuan and Ding Nan again.
She saw that although Zheng Yuan looked at her with a smile on his face, his eyes were full of vigilance, and his hands involuntarily touched her cuffs, as if he would take action first if she was in trouble, eager to try.
Ziyuan's heart trembled, and she quickly changed her focus and asked Ding Nan: "Ding Nan, I haven't seen you for a few days, but I didn't expect that you have already established a foundation? What a joy and congratulation!"
Ding Nan looked at her with strange eyes and said coldly: "Thank you!"
Ziyuan asked again: "Then have you seen Li Yundong?"
When Ding Nan heard the words Li Yundong, her heart trembled slightly. She shook her head and said, "No."
Seeing that Ding Nan didn't look like he was lying, Ziyuan suddenly had doubts in her heart, but she asked again: "Then have you seen Su Chan and Zhou Qin?"
As soon as Ding Nan heard the word Zhou Qin, he immediately sneered and gritted his teeth and said: "Zhou Qin? No, if you see her, you must tell me where she is, and I want to have a good intimacy with her!"
Ziyuan frowned slightly and thought to herself: It's strange, where have they gone? Lin Xueqing clearly told Li Yundong to go to Songgu Nunnery to find Wan Zhenyuan!
Seeing Ziyuan's silence, Zhong Qingsong said, "Master Ziyuan, if you don't have anything else to do, please forgive me for not entertaining you."
When Ziyuan saw that he had issued an order to expel guests, she had no choice but to say: "Then Master Zhong An, please tell me the whereabouts of Li Yundong or Su Chan and others if you see them."
Zhong Qingsong smiled slightly: "Okay!"
Ziyuan gave him a slight salute, looked around unwillingly, and soon turned into a blue light and flew away.
Zheng Yuan on the side saw that Zhong Qingsong and Lin Xueqing both breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Ziyuan leave. He was suddenly suspicious, but he had always been deep in the city, and his face was calm, and he told Zhong Qingsong with a smile.
After saying goodbye, he took Ding Nan all the way down the mountain.
When the two of them went down the mountain, Ding Nan reluctantly said to Zheng Yuan: "Master, did we run all the way in vain? Return empty-handed?"
Zheng Yuan lowered his head and pondered along the way, as if he was thinking about something. He raised his hand to signal Ding Nan not to speak.
Zheng Yuan stood on the mountain road, lowered his head and pondered for a while. He suddenly raised his head and looked towards the sky. He saw that although the sky was clear, it was densely covered with clouds. Especially in the direction of Tiandu Peak, there were dense clouds, steaming clouds, and strange clouds.
, shaped like a dragon and tiger, and there is a colorful color on the top of Tiandu Peak.
Zheng Yuan's heart moved, as if he remembered something. His eyes suddenly flashed with light, he slapped his thigh and said loudly: "I know!"
Ding Nan was inadvertently startled by Zheng Yuan's loud shout and asked quickly: "Master, what do you know?"
Zheng Yuan burst out laughing, pointed in the direction of Tiandu Peak, and said with a proud laugh: "Brother Zhong, Brother Zhong, I am so sincere in my treatment of you, but you fooled me like this! Do you think you are hiding it from me?
Aren’t you coming out?”
Ding Nan was intrigued by Zheng Yuan and asked: "Master, what exactly is going on?"
Zheng Yuan laughed and pointed to the top of Tiandu Peak and said: "My dear disciple, look! Since ancient times, if an alchemist wants to refine elixirs, he must look for a peak with majestic geomantic omen. And wherever he refines elixirs, he will
Something strange will definitely happen! When Zhang Daoling, the founder of the Zhengyi Sect, was refining elixirs in Longhu Mountain, the sky was densely covered with colorful clouds, and the clouds looked like dragons and tigers fighting against each other! Look, is the scene in front of you very similar to when Zhang Tianshi was refining elixirs?
ah?"
Ding Nan glanced at it and couldn't help but nodded. However, she had been practicing for some time, and she had already completed the foundation building. She was no longer the ignorant person she was before, who knew nothing about practice. She said curiously: "But
When cultivators are refining elixirs and building foundations, they will also experience strange phenomena like this."
Zheng Yuan clapped his hands and said: "You are right! But think about what Zhong Qingsong, Lin Xueqing and Ziyuan said before! People like Zhong Qingsong usually hoard a large number of medicinal materials on hand to facilitate their own refining.
Why was the elixir suddenly wiped out? Huh, someone must be refining the elixir, so a huge amount of medicinal materials are needed, which is why all the medicinal materials in his hand were plundered!"
Zheng Yuan's eyes flickered and he said brilliantly: "Furthermore, Lin Xueqing and Zhong Qingsong were hiding something with their flashy words before. It was obvious that they had met Li Yundong and Wan Zhenyuan, but they just said they hadn't! This shows that
They are hiding the whereabouts of these two people! But why are they hiding the whereabouts of these two people? Is there anything that cannot be told to others? "
Zheng Yuan's face revealed a treacherous and confident smile. He pointed at Tiandu Peak and said decisively: "These two people must be refining the peerless elixir at Tiandu Peak! If my guess is right, they must be Earth Yuanlings."
Dan!!”
Ding Nan was shocked: "Earth Spirit Pill?"
Zheng Yuan laughed loudly: "Yes, it is very likely that it is this elixir!"
Ding Nan's eyes revealed a strong sense of greed. She knew that after Zhou Qin ate the Human Yuan Golden Pill, he became so powerful that she did not dare to look directly at it. What if she could eat the Earth Yuan Spirit Pill?
Ding Nan encouraged: "Master, should we..."
Zheng Yuan didn't wait for her to finish speaking, then he snorted and laughed: "If you want it, of course you have to grab it! How can we let this kind of peerless elixir slip away from under our noses?"
Ding Nan was overjoyed, but she quickly frowned and said, "But, just the two of us..."
Zheng Yuan sneered sadly: "Don't be hasty, wait until I spread the news. Practitioners from all over the world will definitely come in droves. By then... Tiandu Peak will definitely be very lively!"
Ding Nan's eyes lit up: "By then we can fish in troubled waters?"
Zheng Yuan and Ding Nan looked at each other and laughed together.
