"Fellow Daoist, what do you mean? How could I accept these vulgar things?" He Tao said with ecstasy in his heart.

After some pushing and pulling between the two, four bank cards happened to fall into He Tao's pocket.

After He Tao accepted the money, Tian Yongyuan immediately felt relieved.

At this time, the four guards looked at each other and tacitly decided on the result of dividing the spoils.

These guards are not truly hermits and often need to travel in the secular world. Money is something the more the better, but the alchemists and elders in the Tang Sect are not interested in such mundane things.

He Tao's expression softened immediately, and he said with regret:

"Everyone...you and my Tang Sect are truly not destined to be together. Just a few days ago, the elders of the sect gathered together, apparently preparing for a major event. I'm afraid they won't have time to refine pills for you."

Tian Yongyuan thought that the bank card he had just given out could not satisfy the other party's appetite, so he calmly stuffed four bank cards into He Tao's pocket.

"How greedy! They're not Tang Clan guards, they're just bandits demanding tolls." Tian Baiwei cursed inwardly.

Only Long Yi knew that what the guard said was true. He was afraid that the Tang Clan had already learned that he had killed Tang Qingquan and was now preparing to deal with him.

He Tao touched the bank card in his pocket, gritted his teeth after a moment, and said solemnly, as if he had made a great decision, "Since you are so pious, I will make an exception and let you in. Then I will help you to test the opinions of the alchemy elders."

It stands to reason that arranging people to enter privately is against the rules, but there is no way, the other party gave too much.

The Tian brothers and sisters looked at each other, their faces filled with joy.

"But I have to remind you, don't look around or touch anything after you go in. If you accidentally break the taboos of the Tang Sect, money won't be able to solve the problem." He Tao said seriously.

"Thank you for your instructions, Immortal. We will keep it in mind." Tian Yongyuan clasped his fists in gratitude.

The outer perimeter of the Tang Clan is made of towering bluestone and is blocked by a wall over ten meters high. People outside cannot get a glimpse of what is happening inside the Tang Clan at all.

Under the leadership of He Tao, Long Yi and his party finally passed through the gate smoothly. What came into view was a large wooden building with mortise and tenon structure, giving people a feeling as if they were in ancient times.

As if he had seen the surprise on the faces of several people, He Tao showed a smug look on his face and said arrogantly:

"What you are seeing now is just the temporary residence of ordinary Tang Sect disciples, pharmacists, and those who come to seek medicine. As for the Tang Sect elders, they live in the Qingluan Hall, but you are not allowed to visit that place."

Long Yi followed the direction He Tao pointed and saw rows of buildings built along the valley. They were solemn and majestic, much more magnificent than the wooden buildings in front of him.

Tian Baiwei pondered for a moment and suddenly asked, "Can we ask the best elder to help us refine the elixir? My grandfather is seriously poisoned, and I'm afraid the ordinary elders can't solve it."

He Tao's face suddenly turned gloomy. This big-breasted, brainless woman not only offended most of the elders in the Tang Sect with just one sentence, but even had the crazy idea of ​​asking the best elder to help him refine the elixir.

He angrily said, "You little girl are so uneducated! The elders in the Tang Sect are all masters of alchemy and can bring the dead back to life. When did you get the chance to question them?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people came over from a distance. The middle-aged man in the lead was wearing a black suit with a big "Tang" embroidered on his chest.

When the people around saw this, they all lowered their heads and bowed slightly. It was obvious that the middle-aged man in black had a very high status.

The moment He Tao saw the middle-aged man, his face immediately turned into a chrysanthemum smile. He went up to him and said flatteringly:

"Pharmacist Liu, why did you come down from Qingluan Palace? Are you going out?"

In the Tang Clan, there is a strict hierarchy. The leader of the Tang Clan has the highest status, followed by several elders and the top-ranked priests, and then there are a dozen or so pharmacists.

The so-called pharmacist is someone who knows the art of alchemy and can refine elixirs below the earth level according to the recipe. The status of a pharmacist is higher than that of warriors like He Tao.

Pharmacist Liu snorted coldly, glanced at Long Yi and others beside He Tao, and said unhappily:

"I'm not going out, but the elders asked me to come down and check on the situation. Didn't they say that we can't ask for medicine these days? Why did you bring people in?"

He Tao smiled awkwardly and could only rub his hands awkwardly. He couldn't say that he had accepted millions from others, right?

"Get out of the way!" Pharmacist Liu immediately understood. How could he not know He Tao's character? Most likely, he was just taking advantage of others and was unwilling to repay them.

Afterwards, Pharmacist Liu slowly walked up to Tian Yongyuan and said apologetically, "Everyone, we are all guests. Although we can't ask for pills in the next few days, you can stay here for a few days. Maybe the elders will allow you to make pills again by then."

Tian Yongyuan swallowed his saliva. There were indeed many richly dressed dignitaries around. He thought they were probably staying here temporarily to seek elixirs.

But he is not in a hurry. This is a matter of life and death. The doctor in Yandu said that he can save the old man's life for a week at most. If he can't get the life-saving medicine within a week, I am afraid there is no way to save him.

When Tian Baiwei heard that it would take at least a few days, she immediately said anxiously, "Please be flexible. My grandfather is seriously poisoned right now. How can he afford to wait a few more days?"

Pharmacist Liu shook his head slightly, his attitude as if doing nothing, and said regretfully, "The life, old age, sickness and death of the secular world have nothing to do with our Tang Sect. Besides, it's useless to beg me. I don't set the rules."

Tian Yongyuan gritted his teeth, took two steps forward, and repeated his old trick, trying to slip a bank card with a larger deposit to Pharmacist Liu. He whispered, "It's just a small token of my respect."

Unexpectedly, when Pharmacist Liu looked down and saw the bank card, he was so angry that he slapped it away and said coldly:

"Where do you place the pressure of the Tang Sect? You actually want to bribe me with money. How can I bow down to you for a few pieces of silver?"

Tian Yongyuan was stunned on the spot, his brain working rapidly, and then he remembered what the guide Old Wang said. He immediately fumbled in his pocket and quietly put a piece of blood-red jade into Pharmacist Liu's pocket.

It turned out to be a priceless Phoenix Stone.

Pharmacist Liu slowly touched his body, and suddenly felt a burst of joy in his heart. The anger on his face gradually subsided, and finally he smiled and said:

"Well, my Tang Sect is not unkind. In consideration of your filial piety, I can show you a way forward."

After saying that, he pointed to a bridge made of wooden boards and ropes at the back of the valley. The wooden bridge could barely allow one person to pass through. The back half was hidden in the clouds, and there was a deep abyss below.

If you fall down without being careful, you will be smashed to pieces.
