Chapter 342 After the matter is completed, join the headquarters
At first, Old Man Longguai thought that these were just some insignificant matters. After all, Beizhou had never been taken seriously by the Alchemist Alliance because Beizhou was too poor and the Alchemist Alliance could not make much money in that place.
Beizhou is a wild and desolate place. There isn't even a seventh-grade alchemist. Most of the pills sold are below the sixth grade. How can you make money?
In other continents, the Alchemist Alliance can easily earn back the money it makes from selling hundreds of thousands of lower-grade pills in North Continent by selling a few seventh-grade or eighth-grade pills.
So relatively speaking, business in Beizhou is not easy to do, and the Alchemist Alliance has not focused on that. Even if someone is trying to steal the keys in Beizhou, they don't want to bother with the alliance's business as long as it doesn't get out of hand.
Because Beizhou’s presence is really too low.
If Shangguan Huai had not come to the Alchemist Headquarters to talk about this matter, under normal circumstances, even if Lu Yuan had expanded Daluo Sect's business throughout Beizhou, and even squeezed out all the Alchemist Alliance in Beizhou, forcing it to close down.
The headquarters of the Alchemist Alliance in Central China may not pay any attention to it because the benefits are too small and not worth it.
But now Shangguan Huai and Zhou Feng have arrived here and explained the benefits to old man Longguai.
Moreover, doing this will bring huge benefits to Old Man Longguai. The nine strange fires are huge profits, which are enough to make Old Man Longguai excited and make the trip in person.
After all, the temptation of strange fire to old man Longguai is still very great, and these are not just one or two strange fires, but nine strange fires, which have a fatal attraction to any alchemist.
During this trip to Beizhou, if Old Man Longguai can successfully take down Daluo Sect, he can make a lot of money.
But old man Longguai still has some concerns.
He was not stupid. After all, he was also aware of the situation in Dongzhou. At that time, many powerful people in Dongzhou fought for the two strange fires of the Double Emperor Gorge. In the end, the two strange fires were obtained by Lu Yuan, which showed that this person was definitely not an ordinary person and he probably had hidden means.
Moreover, how could an ordinary person master nine strange fires at once? This person's ability is definitely extraordinary, and he may have a powerful background.
Old Man Longguai thought: Before this, Beizhou had never heard of the name Daluo Sect. There was only one Wushen Sect which was quite powerful.
Moreover, the Wushen Sect has a very deep foundation and should not be underestimated. The Daluo Sect might be a sect that split from the Wushen Sect.
Moreover, the fact that this person was able to snatch the strange fire from the hands of many combined monsters in Dongzhou shows that his strength is not weak, at least above the combined state. If this is true, this person is indeed difficult to provoke.
It would be difficult for him to go to Beizhou to deal with Lu Yuan by himself, unless he promised a huge reward and asked a master to accompany him and help him seize the strange fire.
A group of guest elders are specially supported in the Alchemist Alliance. These guest elders are very powerful, with the lowest level being the fusion realm. There are even Mahayana cultivators serving the Alchemist Alliance.
But if they want to take action, the price they have to pay will be high, and they will only take action if there is huge profit.
Old Man Longguai was somewhat unsure of Lu Yuan's strength, so it was difficult to estimate how many guest elders he would need to invite to follow him.
This matter is still risky.
As if seeing the hesitation in the old man Longguai's heart, Shangguan Huai said, "Teacher, don't worry. I have a backup plan and can help you share your worries."
"What do you mean?" Old Man Longguai looked at Shangguan Huai.
Shangguan Huai then told him about his other plan.
According to Shangguan Huai, the last time Lu Yuan seized two strange fires in Dongzhou, he offended a large number of Dongzhou’s powerful people and major sects.
They even stole the magic treasure, Fire Tree and Silver Flower, from the Wanhuo Holy Land in Dongzhou. The reason why those powerful men in Dongzhou did not cause trouble for Lu Yuan was because they did not know his background or where he came from.
So if you want to take revenge or settle the score later, there is no way.
But the situation is different now. Shangguan Huai knows Lu Yuan's background and where the Daluo Sect is. If he goes to Dongzhou to publicize this matter, naturally there will be powerful forces in Dongzhou who will cause trouble for him.
There is also the Fire Phoenix Clan. The Fire Phoenix Clan is based in Central China and is very powerful. The strength of the Fire Phoenix Clan ranks among the top 100 among all the forces in Central China. There are many masters in the clan, including some who have transcended tribulation.
When Dongzhou was trying to seize the strange fire, the Fire Phoenix Ancestor was killed by many powerful people from Dongzhou. Although the death of the Fire Phoenix Ancestor had nothing to do with Lu Yuan, the Fire Phoenix Ancestor's body was finally taken away by Lu Yuan.
Just imagine the corpse of a powerful person in the fusion realm, or the body of a descendant of a divine beast. If it falls into Lu Yuan's hands, he will definitely remove the bones and skin and make it into a magic weapon.
Shangguan Huai said, "Teacher, what do you think the beastmen hate the most? Isn't it that the humans use their bodies to refine magic weapons? If the people of the Fire Phoenix Clan knew about this, what do you think they would do?"
Old man Longguai was overjoyed when he heard this.
Then he understood what Shangguan Huai meant. This strategy of uniting allies and driving away the wolves and swallowing the tigers was indeed a good one.
The Alchemist Alliance is like a huge monster in the Qingtian World. With the support of the Alchemist Alliance, Old Man Longguai represents the top leaders of the Alchemist Alliance.
If he could mobilize the masters of Beizhou and the strong men of the Fire Phoenix Clan to settle accounts with Lu Yuan, then he would only need to hire two guest elders in the Tribulation Crossing Stage to follow them.
When a real fight breaks out, it will be the masters of Beizhou, the strong men of the Fire Phoenix Clan, and Lu Yuan who will fight, and they only need to watch from the sidelines. After the battle is over, old man Longguai will appear again to collect the strange fire.
With the Alchemist Alliance as a backer, all the strange fires can be obtained without any effort.
The strong men in Dongzhou did not dare to compete with him for the strange fire, unless they did not want to take elixirs in the future.
Shangguan Huai's move directly saved Old Man Longguai a lot of spirit stones and top-notch elixirs from hiring guest elders from the Alchemist Alliance, which really saved him a lot of money.
At this moment, old man Longguai looked at his disciple again and felt more and more satisfied.
Elder Longguai said, "Okay, okay, good disciple. Your master was right about you. You are very smart. If you succeed in this matter, you won't have to go back to Beizhou anymore. Bring your Shangguan family to Zhongzhou. Your master will arrange for you to work directly at the headquarters."
With just one sentence, Old Man Longguai directly brought Shangguan Huai to the headquarters, which was considered as directly entering the core.
Shangguan Huai was overjoyed, this was exactly what he wanted.
It is true that a blessing in disguise. Although he suffered a defeat at the hands of Lu Yuan, he was not completely defeated. His opportunity was also gained thanks to Lu Yuan.
This time, with the master's golden words, as long as this matter is accomplished, he will be the alchemist of Central Continent in the future. Wouldn't he be superior to others wherever he goes?
Seeing that Shangguan Huai had been promoted to the core headquarters by his master, Zhou Feng was filled with envy.
Shangguan Huai then said, "Master, this President Zhou is also the president of the ancient country of Great Zhou who has worked in Beizhou for many years. He is considered one of the most outstanding talents in Beizhou. He also helped me a lot this time..."
Shangguan Huai recommended Zhou Feng. Elder Longguai glanced at Zhou Feng and said, "Zhou Feng, I've heard of you. You've been a member of the Alchemist Alliance for thousands of years, so you have enough experience. But it's a pity that you've been working in Beizhou all the time.
Well, when this is done, you can go to the headquarters with Shangguan Huai, and I will just let him know."
Zhou Feng quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, senior."
A casual remark from a big shot is exactly what Zhou Feng has been trying to get all his life.
However, Zhou Feng has achieved his goal at this moment. Although he paid a huge price in the process, he feels that it is all worth it now.
After the deal was done, he went directly to work at the headquarters. He had already begun to fantasize about his future life. Not only would his status improve, his salary would also soar. With the help of headquarters resources, it would not be a dream for him to be promoted to a sixth- or seventh-grade alchemist in the future.
…
Since old man Longguai promised some benefits, the affairs of Dongzhou and the Fire Phoenix Clan were naturally handed over to Shangguan Huai and Zhou Feng.
After all, it was normal for the two of them to do some errands since they had received so many benefits from Old Man Longguai.
In order to make them more efficient and persuasive, old man Longguai spent some money to invite a guest official to accompany them.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
After all, the cultivation base of Shangguan Huai and Zhou Feng is too low. They are only at the Spirit Transformation Realm. Whether they are joining the Fire Phoenix Clan or going to Dongzhou to find those top forces, their strength is too low to be convincing.
But it’s different if you have a guest official by your side. Clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. You still have to show off when it’s time to do so.
After Shangguan Huai and Zhou Feng came out of the Alchemist Alliance headquarters, they were accompanied by a powerful fusion master, and their temperaments changed instantly.
Before entering the Alchemist Alliance headquarters, the two men were timid and didn't dare to breathe, but now with the endorsement of old man Longguai and the companionship of the fusion monk, their backs straightened up all of a sudden.
Not only that, in order to get them done as quickly as possible, Old Man Longguai even lent them the Alchemist Alliance's special flying magic weapon.
Sitting on old man Longguai's flying magic weapon, the two headed straight for the Fire Phoenix Clan.
The Fire Phoenix Clan is in Central China and is the closest to them at the moment, so they would naturally go to the Fire Phoenix Clan first.
…
In the Fire Phoenix Clan, Shangguan Huai and Zhou Feng entered the Fire Phoenix Clan holding old man Longguai's high-level alchemist identity card.
Old Man Longguai was considered a senior alchemist within the Alchemist Alliance, and people of this level were honored guests in any force, so Shangguan Huai and Zhou Feng were treated with courtesy by the Fire Phoenix Clan and were directly invited in.
The Fire Phoenix Clan leader asked them about their purpose of coming, and then Shangguan Huai and Zhou Feng narrated what they had seen and heard in Dongzhou before, adding some exaggerations.
It tells the whole process of the Fire Phoenix clan's ancestor's death in Dongzhou. Of course, they also know that they can't make nonsense when making a joke, and they can't make random adaptations, so the general process of the Fire Phoenix ancestor's death was not changed, only the part about Lu Yuan was modified.
Originally, the Fire Phoenix Patriarch was hunted down and killed by many powerful beings from Dongzhou. However, from Shangguan Huai's mouth, it was directly changed to that he was hunted down by the powerful beings from Dongzhou together, and was eventually killed by Lu Yuan's sneak attack.
After all, they were still counting on the Fire Phoenix clan's strongmen and those powerful men from Dongzhou to join forces to deal with Lu Yuan. If the Fire Phoenix clan was informed of the true cause of death of the Fire Phoenix ancestor, how could the Fire Phoenix clan's strongmen join forces with the powerful men from Dongzhou? I'm afraid they would start fighting each other before they even join forces.
Many powerful members of the Fire Phoenix Clan did know about the death of their ancestor before this. They also sent people to Dongzhou to investigate, but they only found out that their ancestor was being hunted down, but they had difficulty finding out by whom.
It is normal that no one can find out the truth. Those who took action at the scene were all the top forces and top strongmen in Dongzhou. Many people who knew the situation did not dare to say anything to others even if they witnessed the whole process.
After all, practitioners seek profit and avoid harm. If they tell the truth to others and are affected by karma, it will not be good for them. Moreover, if the matter is known by the major sects that took action, the person who leaked the news will also be in trouble.
Therefore, some people in Dongzhou who knew the truth would not say much, and the Fire Phoenix Clan had never found out the truth about the death of their ancestor. They only knew that their ancestor's body was taken away by a mysterious person.
All the powerful men in Dongzhou joined forces but were no match for the mysterious strong man. The Ten Thousand Fire Saint was seriously injured and his cultivation level declined severely.
The Fire Phoenix Clan has always wanted to take revenge because of this incident, but has no way to do so. Unexpectedly, two people from the Alchemist Alliance came today and brought the news.
The Fire Phoenix Clan also knew who killed their ancestor.
They initially suspected that it was the top forces in Dongzhou, but they had no evidence, and they never expected that it was people from Beizhou.
But this makes sense. After all, if it was really done by a strong man from Dongzhou, the Lord of Ten Thousand Fires would not have been so seriously injured. Moreover, the Lord of Ten Thousand Fires's fireworks were all stolen. After this incident, the Holy Land of Ten Thousand Fires did not seek revenge.
That means the person who actually did it was not from Dongzhou.
From this perspective, what the two people from the Alchemist Alliance said is still somewhat credible.
Shangguan Huai saw that the Fire Phoenix clan's strong men believed 70%, so he immediately continued to add: "If you want to take revenge, just follow me to Dongzhou. By then, the big forces in Dongzhou will definitely go to Beizhou to seek revenge on Lu Yuan.
Whether this is true or not, you will find out after taking a trip to Beizhou. You don’t want the body of your ancestor to be left wandering around, do you?
I heard that if the body of a phoenix is thrown into a volcano after death, it can be reborn and live a new life. However, if the body is disassembled and made into a magical instrument, it cannot be reborn. "
Shangguan Huai deliberately angered the Fire Phoenix Clan.
The cultivators of the Fire Phoenix Clan were indeed furious.
The fact that humans use the beastmen's flesh to make elixirs and magic weapons is indeed what the beastmen hate the most.
They really could not tolerate their ancestor's body being left outside, especially in the hands of humans.
The Fire Phoenix Clan's strongman said: "Okay, then let's go to Dongzhou. If this is true, you two will be my Fire Phoenix Clan's friends from now on. If this is false, my Fire Phoenix Clan will not let you two go."
The strong men of the Fire Phoenix Clan also have a clear distinction between gratitude and resentment.
After saying this, a large number of powerful Fire Phoenix clan members left their ancestral land and headed for Dongzhou.
