Wanjian Mountain.

Outer Gate Soul Jade Palace.

"despair!"

One of the jade pieces engraved with "Liu Yang" suddenly shattered without any warning.

"Oh no, something terrible has happened!"

A Wanjianshan disciple who was guarding the Soul Jade Palace suddenly changed his expression and ran out, shouting, "Elder Liu Yang's Soul Jade shattered for no reason. He must have met with an accident!"

The news spread quickly.

Not long after, countless elders from the outer sect of Wanjian Mountain gathered together.

"Liu Yang's cultivation has reached the Martial King realm. Who can kill him?"

"I don't know. He was ordered to go out some time ago to get Chongmai Pills for the Great Elder. Could it be that he encountered some enemy?"

"As far as I know, Liu Yang doesn't have any enemies, right?"

"Even if there is, he is our Wanjian Mountain's outer sect elder. Who would have the guts to touch him?"

Everyone was talking about it.

At this time, the second elder came out with an angry look on his face.

"Liu Yang met with an accident while seeking elixirs for the Great Elder. No matter who the murderer is, he must be captured and brought back to Wanjian Mountain. I will cut him into pieces as a sacrifice to Liu Yang's spirit!"

At this time, a plump female disciple stepped out from the crowd and said respectfully, "Second Elder, I know where Elder Liu is going."

"Oh? You knew?" The second elder looked over in surprise.

"Replying to the Second Elder, I originally followed Elder Liu Yang out to look for medicine some time ago, but because of him, he..."

"explain!"

Seeing that the female disciple hesitated to speak, the second elder suddenly shouted.

The female disciple was startled and said in fear, "Reply to the Second Elder, Elder Liu Yang wanted to go to the brothel, and since I'm a woman, it would be inconvenient for me to follow him, so I was sent back!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience fell into an eerie silence.

At this time, the female disciple said again: "Although I returned early, I know the general whereabouts of Elder Liu Yang. As long as we follow the clues, I believe it should not be difficult to find the murderer!"

"Where did Liu Yang go?" asked the second elder.

"Beichuan Territory!" the female disciple replied.

"Okay, Xu Mei, since you have a clue, then you will lead 500 outer disciples into Beichuan to thoroughly investigate this matter!"

The Second Elder said passionately, "Once the real culprit is found, no matter what the reason, no matter who he is or where he comes from, he must be brought back to Wanjian Mountain to face justice!"

"Disciple obeys!"

…

Qiandan City.

In the reception hall.

"Junior Xiao Zimo, greetings to President Baili!"

A young man dressed in alchemist's clothes and with a gentle appearance bowed respectfully to Baili Huang.

"The young are truly formidable!"

Glancing at the sect-level alchemist badge on Xiao Zimo's chest, Baili Huang couldn't help but sigh, "There are more and more young alchemists emerging these days. Could it be that the golden age of alchemists has arrived?"

"President Baili, thank you for your compliment!"

Xiao Zimo smiled awkwardly, then added: "I came here to pay a visit to someone!"

"Didn't you just pay your respects to me?" Baili Huang asked.

Xiao Zimo's expression froze.

But he knew how to handle things, and he quickly said tactfully, "Of course, paying my respects to you, President, is the first priority, but besides that, I also want to pay my respects to Master Wang Bo."

"Wang Bo?"

This time it was Baili Huang's turn to be embarrassed.

It turned out that the other party was not here for him, but for Wang Bo.

He was so self-indulgent that he felt a little embarrassed.

"Exactly!"

Xiao Zimo nodded. "It's rumored that Master Wang was able to refine a king-level elixir without any strange fire. If this is true, then his attainments in alchemy are absolutely unprecedented!"

"Such a prodigy, I really want to meet him. I hope the president will grant me this opportunity!"

After saying that, Xiao Zimo bowed to Baili Huang again.

"I'm so sorry, Wang Bo is not here!"

Baili Huang waved his hand and said, "Wang Bo did go back to the Alchemist Guild yesterday, but then he left again."

"Excuse me, President, where is Master Wang?" Xiao Zimo asked.

"this……"

Baili Huang hesitated to speak.

Wang Bo and others went out to look for strange fire. This matter was a secret, so he naturally could not reveal it casually.

"Is it inconvenient to disclose?"

Xiao Zimo couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

After rolling his eyes a few times, he continued, "I'm quite interested in Master Wang. Could you tell me about his background?"

Before coming here, he had only heard that Wang Bo could refine king-level pills without strange fire.

But he still knew nothing about Wang Bo's various situations.

"That's something you can say!"

Baili Huangdao said, "This Wang Bo originally came from the Wang family in Xieyang City..."

"Report!"

Before he could finish his words, a pharmacist came running over and said anxiously, "Master, there's something wrong with the pharmacy. Could you please go take a look?"

"Medicine pharmacy?"

Baili Huang frowned slightly.

Then he said to Xiao Zimo: "Sorry, I have something else to do, you..."

"Master, please go and get busy. I'll take my leave now!"

"Then take care!"

"Take care, President!"

Xiao Zimo bowed again and stood up to say goodbye.

After leaving the Alchemist Guild, Xiao Zimo muttered to himself in disappointment, "I came all this way here, but I didn't even meet Wang Bo. What a pity!"

Then, an idea came to him.

Didn’t Baili Huang just say that Wang Bo was from the Wang family in Xieyang City?

Xieyang City is not far from here, maybe I can try my luck there!

After making up his mind, he immediately rushed to Xiyang City.

…

Sunset City,

Wang family.

Hearing that a sect-level alchemist was coming to visit in person, the entire Wang family was flattered and welcomed the sect-level alchemist into their home with the highest standards.

The head of the family, Wang Zhen, was even more terrified and did not dare to act like the head of the family. He was like a follower, hesitating and following Xiao Zimo around.

"Master Xiao is so honored to have you here! It truly brings honor to our Wang family!"

Wang Zhen personally welcomed Xiao Zimo into the hall and sat him down, and personally poured him a cup of tea with an attitude that was indescribably respectful.

All alchemists have extremely arrogant personalities.

The higher the level of the alchemist, the more arrogant he is.

Although he didn't know Xiao Zimo in front of him, he was a sect-level alchemist.

Based on this point alone, not to mention their Wang family, even a famous and upright sect like Xiaoyao Sect would not dare to offend them easily.

"Master Wang is so kind. I really don't deserve it."

Faced with the Wang family's enthusiasm, Xiao Zimo seemed a little at a loss.

After all, he came to visit his idol, but the Wang family praised him to the sky. If Wang Bo knew about this, he would probably be dissatisfied and unwilling to see him.
