Chapter 161 The pit is over! We are professional at intensifying conflicts~
Three days later.
Tang Wu breaks through!
Successfully stepped into the sixth realm and became a noble monk in the realm of knowing destiny.
"Hahaha!"
Tang Wu let out a long roar toward the sky, his spirit soaring.
"It's a bright and cool autumn day, and everything is under control!!!"
"In fact, it's a pity..."
"I have only taken three Zhixuan Pills, but the rest are of little use."
Besides being excited, he was also a little depressed.
Ninth-grade Zhixuan Pill!
That was a ninth-grade elixir. Before this, I had never eaten it, and I had never even seen it. But I broke through after eating only three of them!
Now that I have reached the Zhiming Realm, I can still take the Zhixuan Pill, but the effect will be greatly reduced. By comparison, it is better to sell it and then exchange it for the Zhiming Pill.
"no."
"I have to go find Lu Ming and ask him to make me another batch of Zhiming Pills."
"Even if..."
"Use some tricks."
Tang Wu's eyes flickered slightly and his mind raced.
After tasting the ninth-grade elixir and realizing how amazing its efficacy was and how much help it could have on cultivation, Tang Wu really looked down on low-quality elixirs.
Too ugly!
The help is too little.
"Godfather."
"Please help me!"
“···”
The Ice Emperor said helplessly: "Okay."
"But you have to be careful. Lu Ming must have come prepared. And his status in the Haoyue Sect is unmatched. If you make too much trouble, it will not be good for you."
"Of course I know this, godfather, don't worry."
"You don't need to worry too much about the rest. Just at the critical moment, if you need your foster father to take action, please don't hesitate."
"Also, godfather, don't worry too much. I miss you all the time."
"This time, I will ask Lu Ming if he can refine a soul-nourishing elixir. If he can, I will let him refine a furnace no matter what! If he can refine a high-quality soul-nourishing elixir, how much help will it be to my adoptive father?"
Tang Wu looked sincere.
The Ice Emperor felt more and more uncomfortable the more he watched. Unfortunately...
"My son has a heart."
He could only pretend he knew nothing.
However, the Ice Emperor has become increasingly anxious these days.
He keenly felt that this relationship between him and Tang Wu, this strange balance, seemed to be broken.
But unfortunately, he couldn't 'devour his master'!
Because his condition was extremely special, he survived by being a 'ring spirit'.
However, this spiritual weapon-level storage ring had been completely refined by Tang Wu and recognized as his master. As a weapon spirit, he was unable to resist at all.
Looks like a godfather and a master.
In fact, to be honest, the Ice Emperor would even call Tang Wu "Master".
Unable to resist.
I can only follow his wishes for now and see if there is any turning point.
Unfortunately, these days, I haven't seen any improvement. Instead, it seems like I can see my own death getting closer and closer…
This feeling is so uncomfortable.
It's too desperate.
After the response, there was silence.
Tang Wu remained calm.
In fact, I had guessed something in my mind.
He never thought that the Ice Emperor was stupid. After all, he was once a powerful veteran. If he could be easily fooled by him without knowing it, how could he have become a powerful man in the first place?
Combined with the Ice Emperor's abnormal behavior in recent days, he could almost confirm it.
But in his opinion, it's not a big problem.
The initiative is always in my own hands. So what if you see something?
Only silence like this at this moment, or holding it in.
And it still works for me!
He smiled, and then set off to look for Lu Ming.
Inside the cave.
Lu Ming was content.
To others, he seemed to be resting.
In fact...
He was indeed resting.
Rest and practice at the same time.
After all, the environment here is much better than that of the Lanyue Sect. For cultivation, it can definitely be called a real paradise.
The reason why Ji Haoyue and others didn't use it themselves was not because the spiritual energy here was not strong enough, but because their realm was too high, and the richness of the spiritual energy alone had little effect.
It is precisely because of this that this good place belongs to Lu Ming.
He is only in the sixth realm and still has a lot of room for improvement, so he naturally has to seize the opportunity to improve himself.
The most important thing is~
This is the Haoyue Sect!
What he absorbed was the spiritual energy of the Haoyue Sect.
Just based on this point, the vitality instantly became several times more fragmentary.
"Maybe in a few days."
Lu Ming said to himself, "After all, I just got here, so I shouldn't do anything too much."
"After a few more days, I will go to the Sutra Library."
"Since I have been told that all the skills and secret techniques are available for me to practice, and can be passed down to my direct lineage, then they cannot be wasted."
"They are all good things."
"It's Tang Wu's side."
"If I hadn't guessed it, it should have been broken through, right?"
Lu Ming smiled.
"After all, if you can't break through even if you have the ninth-grade Profound Finger Pill, you are not worthy of being the template for the protagonist."
Although Tang Shenwang is a fantasy floor tile, he is at least the template of the protagonist and has the aura of the protagonist~!
In this situation, it would be too stupid for him, who has already reached the peak of the fifth realm, to not be able to break through even with a furnace of ninth-grade Profound Finger Pills.
Moreover, there are nine pieces in this furnace!
"I estimate that after taking three to five pills, he should be able to break through."
"But how could he, who has tasted the ninth-grade elixir, give up so easily?"
Given King Tang's personality, it would be strange if he didn't do everything he could to put such a good thing in his pocket.
"I don't know if this version of Tang Shen Wang is smart enough."
"Can you guess that I deliberately gave him the ninth grade and refined nine of them?"
If you want to catch big fish, you have to use fragrant bait.
Now that the bait has been put down, the fish should be about to take the bait, right?
Half a day later.
Tang Wu comes to visit.
"Brother Lu, Tang Wu is here to visit me. Please meet me."
He walked outside the cave openly and called out to Lu Ming.
Lu Ming smiled, waved his hand to remove the formation and restrictions, and even came out to greet him personally, saying with a smile: "Hahaha, Brother Tang is here? Please come in quickly~"
Then, the two of them walked into the cave arm in arm.
The stone door of the cave was then closed and the formation was activated again.
In the distance, many people sent by the elders to keep an eye on the situation suddenly looked surprised and contacted their own elders one after another.
"Elder Lu, have you rested?"
"Tang Wu went to visit, and Elder Lu was in high spirits. He welcomed him into the cave?"
"So, it has indeed recovered."
"Quick, prepare some gifts for me. After Tang Wu leaves, this elder will go to visit him in person."
“···”
These days, they have also tasted the sweetness of high-quality elixirs.
Although I have eaten seventh-grade elixirs before, the times were too few!
But Lu Ming's situation is different.
At present, it seems that the minimum is 7th grade. Shouldn't we lick it well, give it a good gift, and build a good relationship? As long as it succeeds, won't we be able to eat high-quality pills whenever we want in the future?
Many elders are very excited and are actively preparing.
However, they all know that they may not succeed.
After all, if I can think of this, other people can think of it too. Everyone will compete, and it is hard to say who can successfully win favor.
even···
A female elder even took out the 'battle robe' she had treasured for many years and put it on.
He even took out a bronze mirror that had not been used for who knows how many years, and pasted yellow flowers on the mirror.
······
Inside the cave.
Lu Ming let go of his hand.
The two kept their distance.
Seeing Lu Ming restarting the formation and setting up the restrictions, Tang Wu said calmly: "Brother Lu, since there is no one else here, you and I don't need to pretend anymore."
"Just speak your mind, okay?"
"What is Brother Tang talking about? Why don't I understand?" Lu Ming looked confused.
"Brother Lu, you are going too far. Since I came to find you and said this right away, do you think I am trying to trick you?"
Tang Wu sighed: "Why be so hypocritical?"
"I really don't know what you are talking about." Lu Ming continued to be stubborn.
"Lu Ming."
Tang Wu called him by his name: "You really won't cry until you are in the coffin. There is no relationship between you and me. We just met once or twice by chance."
"But the day you joined my sect, you acted so friendly. It was nothing more than wanting to get closer to me and at the same time, ensure your position in the Haoyue Sect."
"This is enough to prove that you have other intentions!"
"Do you think I didn't expose you that day because I knew nothing?"
"ridiculous!"
"In fact, I already knew everything."
"The reason why I didn't expose you and even took the initiative to cooperate with you is because I also have my own plans."
Lu Ming's expression changed again and again.
Finally, he lowered his voice and said, "So you already knew everything? You are quite good at pretending."
"hehe."
Tang Wu curled his lips. Is it that difficult to guess?
"Tell me what you want!"
Lu Ming asked through gritted teeth.
Tang Wu raised his eyebrows, thinking that Lu Ming was not very smart.
In this way, wouldn't it be easier for me to control him?
But you have to be careful, because this kind of person may be stubborn. Once you make him angry, he may do whatever he wants without regard for the consequences.
So, don't push too hard.
He smiled and said, "Do you think that you have anything, or what you know, other than elixirs, that is worth my attention?"
“···”
"Sure enough, he came for the elixir."
Lu Ming suddenly realized something and looked even uglier: "Tell me, what kind of elixir do you want?"
"Of course it's the Zhiming Pill, ninth grade!"
"Don't refuse, and don't say that you can't refine the ninth-grade Zhiming Pill. As a great master of the alchemy path, as long as you want and as long as you are willing to work hard, how can you not be able to refine it?"
Tang Wu chuckled.
From his perspective, he still had Lu Ming in his sights.
“···”
Lu Ming was silent for a moment before he asked, "How much do you want?"
"How many?"
"Of course it's 'enough'. Don't worry, I won't force you too much, and I won't sell it. As long as it's enough for me to use, it's enough."
"Oh, yes, there are also pills that nourish the soul. I also need some, preferably ninth grade!"
Ask me how much I want?
Tang Wu wanted to laugh.
This secret, I will eat you for the rest of my life~!
"Don't be quick to refuse."
"This is not a difficult task for you. As a great master of alchemy, refining some pills shouldn't be a piece of cake for you, right?"
"After all, you don't want the sect master and elders to know that you entered the Haoyue Sect with ulterior motives, right?"
"good."
Lu Ming clenched his teeth and uttered a few words: "I promise you."
"But you also have to promise not to tell my secret to anyone."
"rest assured."
"I, Tang Wu, am a trustworthy and moral person. Who doesn't know that?" Tang Wu patted his chest, boasting that his values are invincible and positive.
"I will trust you for now."
Lu Ming was still very unhappy, and it was almost written on his face.
The more Tang Wu watched, the happier he became.
accurate?
It's okay to be unhappy.
Who can feel good when being threatened and controlled?
"But I can't give it to you for now."
"Refine the elixir takes time, refine the ninth-grade elixir takes even more time!"
"Even if I am what you call a great master of alchemy, I cannot guarantee the success rate of making a ninth-grade elixir."
"Okay, I'll give you some time."
Tang Wu was very humane: "But now, you have to refine a furnace of Zhiming Pill for me, at least the seventh grade."
"I'll go back and practice first. I'll come back after I finish eating. By that time, the ninth-grade elixir should have been refined, right?"
"You are really calculating!"
Lu Ming gritted his teeth.
Tang Wu smiled faintly: "No, no."
"I think anyone would do the same, right?"
“Maybe even better than I can do.”
"snort!"
Lu Ming snorted coldly, then started to refine the elixir.
Nearly an hour later, Tang Wu was satisfied and left with a furnace of seventh-grade Zhiming Pills.
Then, Lu Ming stretched.
"The fish has taken the bait."
"Next, it's everyone else's turn."
"But then again, why does he need a pill that nourishes the soul?"
Lu Ming pondered for a moment: "His soul is not damaged, so he shouldn't need this kind of elixir. So, it can be basically concluded that he also has a grandfather in the ring."
Recalling the many details of the meeting with Tang Wu.
He actually wore a ring!
Moreover, he often touched the ring subconsciously. If someone said that there was nothing wrong with the ring, Lu Ming would be the first one not to believe it.
"Good fellow."
"The God King Tang with the old man's residual soul?"
"this···"
"~"
"Hey, isn't he still the Divine King Tang?"
“It’s not a big problem.”
After killing Gu Yue Fangyuan, Lu Ming's courage also grew.
Whether it's the protagonist template or the child of destiny, he is not unkillable!
It even seems that the laws of nature encourage these protagonist templates and children of destiny to kill each other. This can be guessed from the "benefits" that can be obtained by killing other protagonist templates.
In this case...
There is no reason for me to be afraid of a fantasy floor tile~!
Can having a grandfather change your fate?
It’s not that simple!
Or in other words~
Even if he knew about my plan, it was only after this incident.
After this incident...
It is unknown whether he can survive.
Even if someone wants to settle the score with me later, I have to survive first.
······
"Master, Tang Wu is gone!"
“Okay, okay!”
"Go down, there is a reward."
Gu Qingyun was overjoyed and immediately set off with the gifts.
Afterwards, he successfully met Lu Ming.
"Grand Elder."
Lu Ming was refining medicine in the furnace and looked quite busy, but even so, when he learned that Gu Qingyun came to visit, he received him warmly and politely.
"Brother Lu, why are you coming to greet us in person?"
"Where's the Saint?"
"Shouldn't she be serving you and doing these chores for you?"
Gu Qingyun frowned: "The Saint is becoming more and more unruly."
"How dare you disobey the order of the sect master?"
"Grand Elder, there is no need to be angry." Lu Ming shook his head: "I was the one who asked her to go back and practice. After all, Wen Ruyu is the Saintess of my sect. How can a Saintess of my sect serve me like a maid?"
"She represents the reputation of our entire Haoyue Sect."
"Of course, the stronger the better."
"This..." Gu Qingyun's expression became better and he nodded: "Elder Lu, you are thoughtful."
"It's just that you're so busy refining pills, but you don't even have a medicine boy by your side. That's not appropriate!"
"How can you do all these little chores by yourself? This is inappropriate!"
"Why not..."
"How about I be the medicine boy?"
Gu Qingyun suddenly had an idea and changed his words: "Look, I'm already old, and it won't be easy to make a breakthrough, and there's nothing important for me to deal with."
"With me here, no one will dare to mess around."
"In my opinion, I am the most suitable person to be the medicine boy!"
Lu Ming: “…”
Are you serious?
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
Just as he was about to refuse, he heard a curse: "Gu Qingyun, you are so shameless!"
"As the Grand Elder of our sect, your every move represents the reputation of our sect, and you are busy with countless things waiting for you to arrange and handle!"
"What kind of medicine boy do you want to be?"
"This is simply outrageous. Aren't you afraid that this will get out and people will laugh at you?"
"And the entire Haoyue Sect is laughing at us. A great elder actually lowered himself to become a medicine boy!!!"
Lu Ming looked back.
Gu Qingyun rolled his eyes and thought it was bad luck.
He had just come in, and Lu Ming had not reopened the formation and restrictions, so it was certainly not appropriate for him to take over.
This also caused the sound of the two people's conversation to be heard.
The person who was cursing and mocking at this moment was none other than the damn Second Elder!
Without waiting for the two to respond.
The second elder said again: "Elder Lu, I came here uninvited to visit you. May I come in?"
"Second Elder, you are too polite. Please come in quickly."
The second elder then entered.
That's very polite.
Gu Qingyun's eyebrows twitched when he saw this.
Damn it, this old man is so shameless.
You were so careless when entering your own cave and even when breaking into the Haoyue Palace, but you follow the rules when entering Elder Lu’s cave?
Where is your old face?
Shame on you!
But the Second Elder simply ignored Gu Qingyun's contempt and stepped forward cheerfully: "Elder Lu, oh, I am ashamed to say this."
"When we met a few days ago, I had just returned to the sect, so I didn't even have time to prepare a gift for you."
"In the end, it was you, Elder Lu, who had just arrived, who gave me a furnace of elixirs. This really makes me ashamed."
“Therefore, I have collected some small things these days and sent them to Elder Lu.”
"I hope Elder Lu won't despise me."
He presented gifts.
It's just a storage bag.
Even the Great Elder Gu Qingyun didn't know what was inside.
But at this moment, he was very depressed.
Damn!
I was clearly the first one to arrive, so there should be a first-come-first-served rule when giving gifts, right?
It's too much for you to get ahead of others right away!
He quickly took out a storage ring and said, "Hey, I just mentioned it casually. Elder Lu, there's no need for such nonsense between you and me, right?"
"After all, you and I had been in spiritual communication for a long time in that inn..."
"Actually, I came here to bring some gifts."
"Don't refuse!"
"In fact, I should have given it to you when we met at the inn that day, but I was in a hurry that day and didn't have time to prepare it. Please forgive me, forgive me~"
Lu Ming: "Ah?!"
He was really surprised.
This situation... I can only say that it is still within the plan.
According to the plan, at this moment, these elders should come one after another and ask me to help them refine the elixir~
Well, they did come.
The purpose must be to allow himself to refine pills.
But what is the situation with all these gifts?
And they directly gave me a storage bag and a storage ring... They can't be empty, right?
There must be something inside, and more than just one or two things!
Otherwise why use a storage bag?
How can I feel comfortable with you guys doing this?
Lu Ming pondered for a moment and looked at the two of them in a daze.
The two of them smiled brilliantly at the same time: "Take it, Elder Lu."
"If you don't accept it, you're looking down on us!"
"Yes, and me too!"
"Me too···"
"I felt guilty for accepting Elder Lu's elixirs that day, but I didn't prepare anything at that time. I have to make up for it now. Elder Lu won't be angry and won't accept it, right?"
One elder after another came.
Each of them was polite and smiling brightly, holding either a storage bag or a storage ring in their hands.
When the elders looked at each other, they all smiled and nodded.
But the sparks in his eyes almost turned into reality and popped out.
Okay, okay, that’s how we all play, right?
Lu Ming wanted to collect them all.
But it’s not suitable!
If they accept it, they have to agree to make pills for them.
How could agreeing to make elixirs for them cause conflicts?
"inappropriate!"
His face straightened and he refused righteously: "How can this be?!"
"Could it be that the elders look down on me, Lu, so much?"
"Why do you say that, Elder Lu?" The elders were anxious: "We have absolutely no such intention!"
"It's only natural to give a gift to someone when we first meet."
"That's right. If we looked down on you, Elder Lu, we wouldn't have presented you with a greeting gift."
"Please don't think too much!"
"Since you don't look down on me, then take back these gifts!" Lu Ming said with a straight face, "I am just a casual cultivator."
"It was not until I entered the Haoyue Sect and was treated sincerely by the Haoyue Sect that I felt at home."
"All the elders are my family!"
"Refining pills for my family is the right thing to do!"
"Moreover, when I joined the sect, I received so many benefits. If I had to take benefits even for refining a furnace of elixirs for you, wouldn't I be a heartless person, worse than pigs and dogs?"
"So, please take them back, elders!"
"If you come to chat or visit me, I, Lu, will certainly welcome you very much."
"But if you just come here to give gifts, then go away!"
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, feeling deeply moved.
Elder Lu is a good man!
But if you don't accept gifts, how can we ask you to make the elixir?
You don't really think that we are here just to give you gifts, do you?
Or...
He had already guessed our purpose. The reason he refused was that he didn't want to make the elixir for us. After all, it's hard to refuse a gift after receiving it.
They are all smart people.
After a brief thought, he concluded that Lu Ming at the moment belonged to the second situation.
I don’t want to make pills for them!
How can that be?
Even if you don't accept other people's, at least you have to accept mine, right?
They were all anxious.
Scramble for the first place.
But the Great Elder was the most dignified after all: "Everyone be quiet, let me have a word!"
"Elder Lu, you are overthinking it. Giving a meeting gift is an unwritten rule of our Haoyue Sect!"
"What's more..."
"You should at least take a look."
"Just a look~"
Gu Qingyun is very confident.
As long as you take a look~
I don’t believe you won’t be tempted!
The other elders also have this confidence.
“It’s hard to refuse your kindness. I, Lu, really…” Lu Ming smiled bitterly: “Then, I’ll just take a look?”
"look!"
"Of course I have to take a look."
"Come on, come on, take a look."
immediately.
They opened a corner of their storage bags and storage rings and let Lu Ming check them.
As soon as he saw it, Lu Ming's eyes widened!
This is really not an act.
They are all good things!
Really good stuff!
They are either precious elixirs and materials, or things that are of great benefit to cultivation, or rare treasures that are of great help in alchemy!
Each one is good stuff.
If we collect them all and bring them back to Lanyue Sect, the resources of Lanyue Sect will take off instantly!
pity···
Cannot collect.
Even if you collect it for a short time, you can't take it back, otherwise once it is exposed, it will bring disaster to both yourself and the Lanyue Sect.
But~~~
It's still possible to install it.
Lu Ming's eyes were wide open, that kind of desire and greed, Gu Qingyun and others saw it clearly.
But in the end, he withdrew his gaze with great difficulty and sighed: "Everyone's thoughts, I..."
"I appreciate that."
“But I really can’t accept it.”
Can’t collect?
Gu Qingyun and others were surprised.
You want it to be like that, why don't you accept it?
Could that greedy expression be fake?
wrong!
If you want it but still don't accept it, it means there must be a hidden secret~!
Gu Qingyun hesitated for a moment, then coughed dryly and said, "Elder Lu, I am not here just to make up for the gift, but I have something to ask of you."
"If you don't accept it, I... can't really say this!"
Can't you open your mouth? Haven't you already opened your mouth?
If you don't say this again, I'll be tired of acting, okay?
Lu Ming secretly complained and then looked at the others: "Then the other elders can't be the same..."
"We also have something to ask for!"
Although the gifts have not been sent out yet, the Great Elder is already ready to reveal the truth. How can we fall behind?
"I see!"
Lu Ming suddenly realized and smiled for a moment, but then he became alert again. He still did not accept the gift, but asked, "I wonder why the elders are here?"
This seems a bit like pretense.
Who are you?
Grandmaster of Alchemy, why else would we come to you?
But everyone present is smart, they can see through this kind of pretense but won't say anything.
Instead, he gave an awkward smile: "Haha, this is embarrassing to say."
"I'm ashamed."
“That’s it… I don’t know about them.” Gu Qingyun relied on his status and position to speak first: “But I have been stuck in my current realm for hundreds of years.”
"Hundreds of years."
He sighed: "Although cultivators like me have a long lifespan, I am stuck in a small realm for hundreds of years and cannot break through. It can almost be said that the end is in sight."
"If there is no other opportunity, it will be a dead end."
"I don't want to die yet."
"I want to live, and I want to see higher and more wonderful scenery, so..."
"I can only shamelessly come here to ask Elder Lu for help, please give me a way out~!"
Damn, this old guy is so shameless.
Relying on his high status, he was the first to speak, and even only talked about how miserable he was, excluding the rest of us, as if our lives were easy?
How outrageous!
I have never seen such a shameless person.
They cursed in their hearts, but could no longer hold back and spoke one after another.
"Great Elder, you are wrong. You have indeed been stuck in your current state for hundreds of years, but does that mean it will be easy for us?"
"yes!"
“It’s hard for me to wait.”
"Every family has its own problems."
"Yes, my last breakthrough was more than ten years ago, and I am younger than you, but Great Elder, don't forget that my realm is much lower than yours! If we really count, if neither of us can move forward, and I die first due to exhaustion of my lifespan, then I will be the one, right?"
"That's right, Great Elder, you can't just talk about how difficult your life is and ignore us!"
"Elder Lu, I'm ashamed to say that we are all here for the elixir."
“···”
Lu Ming blinked, then patted his chest and said, "Don't be anxious, everyone."
"I already understand what you mean."
"I originally thought it was no big deal. It turns out they just wanted me to help refine pills. How difficult is that? I am an alchemist. Refining pills is just my job."
"Besides, I joined the Haoyue Sect to make pills for you."
“No need to fight!”
"There's no need to hurt the harmony."
Everyone was delighted.
"Elder Lu is so generous!"
"I know that Elder Lu is unprecedented and unrivalled!"
"Since Elder Lu has agreed, then this meeting gift... just accept it~!"
They are excited.
But I have not forgotten my original intention - giving gifts.
The more gifts you give, the less blame you will feel!
Although the other party agreed quickly and well, who knows what he will do after turning around? But if you give a gift, it will be different. As the saying goes, the hand that takes the gift is short.
As long as he takes advantage of himself, he will have to refine himself sooner or later!
This way, you can feel more at ease.
"Yes, yes, Elder Lu, please accept it!"
"We don't have any other intentions, we just mean it."
"That's right, it's just a small thing. I'm really a little embarrassed."
"You are so persistent..."
The greed in Lu Ming's eyes grew stronger, and the smile on his face grew brighter: "If I refuse again, it will be impolite."
"Besides, I dare not refuse a gift from an elder. Strictly speaking, you are all my elders. It would be unreasonable to refuse it."
"I just shamelessly accepted..."
Lu Ming stretched out his hand.
Elders such as Gu Qingyun were overjoyed and handed over the storage bags and storage rings they had prepared.
The gift delivery was about to be successful.
Lu Ming suddenly paused, and the smile on his face suddenly froze.
Then, in their astonished gazes, he withdrew his hand with great difficulty.
"this···"
"I've thought about it carefully, and I still can't accept it."
"Still can't accept it? Why?!"
They are numb.
Are you kidding us?!
Sometimes it’s collected and sometimes not.
Sometimes it can be collected and sometimes it cannot.
What are you doing!
Our moods are also fluctuating, it's very uncomfortable, right? !
"Oh, I'm ashamed to say this." Lu Ming sighed.
Everyone: “…”
Well, now it's your turn to feel ashamed again?
But Lu Ming continued, "It is indeed my job to refine pills for the elders. Logically, I will never refuse and should do my best."
"But now, I can't promise you right away."
"Why?"
"Yes, why?"
"Is there something urgent?"
Gu Qingyun waved his hand and said, "If that's the case, Elder Lu, please tell us. No, Elder Lu, just give us your instructions. We will definitely solve it for you in the shortest possible time!"
“Not bad~”
The elders nodded one after another.
"You can't help me with this matter."
Lu Ming was a little confused, and after a moment he said, "Oh, never mind."
"The elders are so sincere to me. If I were to hide something, I would be a bit of a coward."
"This is what happened."
He smiled bitterly and explained, "You all should know that I have some connections with your sect's seventh-order Tang Wu, and we have a very good relationship."
"He came to look for me just now."
"Ask me to help him make the elixir."
"Considering that he and I already have a very good relationship, as close as brothers, and now we are from the same sect, there is no reason for me to refuse, so I readily agreed to his request."
"I thought it wouldn't take long to refine the elixir he needed. Once it's done, I can refine elixirs for the rest of the sect, including the elders."
"But who knew, I agreed too early."
"I can't make the elixir that Brother Tang wants in a short time."
"well!"
With a sigh, Lu Ming continued, "I can't even refine enough medicine for him in a short time, so how can I dare to agree to the elders casually?"
"Even, do you want to accept these gifts?"
"This is inappropriate, inappropriate!"
"Please ask the elders to take it back."
"After I finish making the pills I promised Tang Wu, I will refine them for the elders one by one. How about that?"
He vividly portrayed the mentality and expression of a person who, after being cheated by a friend, is afraid of being bitten once and afraid of being cheated for ten years; he wants a gift but is also worried about being cheated.
A bunch of old foxes couldn't see anything wrong.
On the contrary, I think it is reasonable.
Isn't that the case?!
If not, is there any other explanation?!
That Tang Wu is really not a good guy.
What a villain!
It’s so abominable~!
He actually relied on his good relationship with Elder Lu to cheat our Elder Lu!
Elder Lu treated you as a brother, but this is how you treat and betray your brother, right?
As a result, after we were tricked, we now have no pills to eat.
Are you still a human being?
They looked at each other, with cold light flashing in their eyes.
"A mere seventh sequence dares to be so arrogant."
"This is really outrageous."
"I wonder how many pills this bastard wants Elder Lu to refine for him. It actually takes quite a while to complete it?"
"I'm afraid it may not be that much, but the quality must be good!"
"Humph, who cares how much he wants?! After all, we old guys have the final say in the Haoyue Sect. The younger generation wants to step up and take charge? It's still thousands of years too early!"
"He has to be beaten."
"right!"
"How can a seventh-order upgrade compare to the backbone of us?"
"Now is the golden age, and it is a time to use people. People like us, even if we improve a small realm, are more useful than these little guys who improve a big realm. Why should we let them occupy the resources?"
"What should we do? Do you have an idea in mind?"
"Of course I know!"
"In that case, I won't say anything more."
"Retreat first, don't make things difficult for Elder Lu."
"As for Tang Wu, we will slowly deal with him."
“···”
······
"I see."
After the telepathic communication ended, Gu Qingyun laughed: "So that's how it is."
"It's not a big deal for me, how difficult is this?"
"After you are done with your work, Elder Lu, you can refine it for us!"
"I will leave the gift for you first. There is no rush for the refining. We can talk about it when you are free, Elder Lu."
"I still have some things to do, so I'll leave first."
After saying that, he just ran away.
He didn't give Lu Ming any chance to refuse.
The other elders followed suit, leaving behind their storage bags and storage rings and running away.
Before the Second Elder left, he said with a half-smile, "Don't worry, Elder Lu. I believe that it won't take too long for Tang Wu's elixir to be successfully refined."
"See you later."
He bowed and walked away quietly.
Soon, Lu Ming was the only one left in the cave.
Looking at the storage bags and storage rings scattered all over the floor, Lu Ming sighed.
After setting up the formation and prohibitions, an autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves, and everything was collected.
"How can this be so embarrassing?"
"Unfortunately, these things cannot be seen in public for the time being."
"Otherwise, my Moon-Lan Sect will have to take off directly, right?"
According to his estimation, the value of these things is almost equivalent to the entire net worth of a peak seventh realm or even an eighth realm powerhouse!
If all of them were really sold to exchange for Yuanshi, it would be enough to transform a second-rate force into a second-rate force!
The prerequisite is to be able to keep this huge wealth.
"But I can use it now."
"It can be used to improve one's own strength. After it is refined into a pill, it can be dispersed as long as no one finds it."
"Huh?"
"Wen Ruyu is here, and he is waiting outside the cave without making any noise. He even prepared a cushion and is practicing right outside the cave entrance?"
Lu Ming frowned: "Sent to monitor me?"
"They should have no doubts about me now. Rather than saying that Wen Ruyu is here to monitor me, it's better to say that after the elders learned about Tang Wu's incident, they were afraid that similar incidents would happen again, so they asked Wen Ruyu to guard me?"
"In that case, let her guard it."
Lu Ming smiled slightly.
Then, he began to practice on his own.
Alchemy?
What kind of alchemy should I practice?
Your good days are coming to an end~
Even if I make a good pill, you may not be qualified to enjoy it.
"God King Tang, work harder~"
"I'm really looking forward to it."
"You have to burst out your own strength and characteristics, and let us see your power, right?"
······
"That Tang Wu is a little too greedy!"
"Elder Lu doesn't have enough time to refine it in such a short time. Humph, aren't you afraid of starving yourself to death?"
"Call Wen Ruyu over here and keep watch! How come you are so ignorant?"
"Let's go find Tang Wu, but keep a low profile and don't let anyone know about it."
"If it gets out, it won't sound good for a group of elders like me to embarrass a junior just for the sake of the elixir."
Gu Qingyun and other elders went to look for Tang Wu while cursing.
