After sending these children away, Master Yinfeng's expression returned to its previous state.
"This place has been my retreat for the past two years, hiding from the demon sect."
Master Yinfeng led Chen Luo through the village and came to the innermost thatched house.
There is a pond at the door.
The old yellow cow tied to the tree was nibbling grass beside the pond. When it saw the two people coming, it mooed as a greeting.
"People from the Demon Clan came to visit me once before, and it was the parents of these children who saved me from this disaster. Their parents died because of me, so I naturally cannot just leave them alone. I can still afford to take care of them for the rest of their lives."
“As it should be.”
Chen Luo nodded without asking any further questions.
The story here is definitely not as simple as what Master Yinfeng said. There must be a story of his own in it, but the other party didn't tell it, and he was too lazy to ask.
"Master."
The door of the thatched hut was pushed open, and a little girl walked out. When she saw Master Yinfeng, she bowed respectfully.
"This is the disciple I accepted here, Xiaoyu. He has a single spiritual root of water attribute!"
When mentioning this disciple, Master Yinfeng showed a hint of satisfaction on his face.
This was a genius with only one spiritual root. If he were to be accepted as a disciple, who knows how many people would fight for him. He didn't expect to see him. Although having good spiritual roots doesn't mean that one can definitely build a foundation, the starting point is the same as others after all, and the chance of building a foundation is much higher than that of ordinary people.
If this kind of apprentice is trained well, he can become your helper in the future, and you don't have to worry about the enemy digging your grave after you die.
"This is my good friend, Alchemy Master Chen Luo."
"Meet Senior Chen."
Xiao Yu immediately bowed to Chen Luo after hearing this. Although she was only at the second level of Qi Refining, she had heard a lot of rumors about the world of immortal cultivation. When she went to the nearby market to trade, she had heard a lot of stories about the top masters of the evil cultivation world, including the rumors about this alchemy master.
Chen Luo reached into his storage bag and took out a first-level magic sword he had refined before and gave it to the little girl. With his level as a second-level weapon refiner, the first-level magic sword he refined was considered a fine product in the Qi Refining Realm, and it was just right as a gift.
"Thank you, senior."
A hint of joy flashed across Xiaoyu's face.
"Go down. Cultivation is as laborious as a drop of water. Don't slack off."
Master Yinfeng looked like a strict teacher. Xiaoyu went down immediately after hearing what he said. Seeing her holding the magic sword and not wanting to let it go, a hint of warmth flashed in Master Yinfeng's eyes.
"Thank you, fellow Taoist."
"Little thing, you're welcome."
Without outsiders, the topic of the two returned to the leader of the Demon Sect.
"The small black stone in Shi Jun's storage bag is a 'demon seed' of the Demon Sect!"
Master Yinfeng took out the small stone again.
The stone that was ordinary on Gumo Mountain before actually emitted a reddish-purple light in this place. Seeing this, Chen Luo also took out the small stone and found that the surface of the stone also emitted a light.
"This is why I chose to retreat here. This small mountain village is very magical. It can avoid the demon seed sensing of the Demon Seeding Sect and can also sense its breath."
Master Yinfeng placed the small stone on the stone table, gathered the spiritual energy and tapped it.
It was discovered that the stone was like a living thing, making a "yayaya" sound.
"Then why couldn't he find me?"
Chen Luo looked at the small stone in his hand and asked curiously. He didn't know that this small stone was a 'demon seed' before, and he had always thrown it into the storage bag without caring about it. Since the leader of the Demon Seed Sect can sense the demon seed, he should be able to find him.
No, it seems I have tried it.
Chen Luo recalled the incident of three men carrying swords going into the mountains. During that fight, he used witchcraft to trick the leader of the Demon Clan. By the time the alchemy master became famous, the other party had already been injured by the fox clan's Jindan ancestor. He didn't even have time to hide from him, so how could he possibly take the initiative to come to him?
"The second-level formation can interfere with the aura of the 'demon species'. There is a complete second-level formation on your Gumo Mountain."
A hint of envy flashed across Master Yinfeng's eyes.
In the past few years, he was hunted like a wild dog and almost died several times. As a result, he stayed at home and practiced in peace, living a very comfortable life.
There is no comparison between people. The gap is even bigger than that between dogs.
"What's the use of this demon seed?"
"The leader of the Demon Seeding Sect has cultivated a technique to gather demons and condense seeds. As long as he gathers nine emotional demon seeds, he can use them as a foundation to condense a golden elixir. The success rate can reach 30%!"
In order to deal with the leader of the Zhongmo Sect, Master Yinfeng has put in a lot of effort in the past two years, and he has also found out about the other party's abilities and methods.
"So far, the leader of the Demon Seed Sect has condensed seven emotional demon seeds. The remaining two are in Shi Jun's body. We killed Shi Jun and took away the demon seeds. This is considered a mortal feud."
I see.
"This guy is so unlucky. He actually found the fox clan with just a vague sense. I heard that he was beaten by the fox clan's Jindan ancestor, Granny Hu, who had several demon bodies knocked out of him and he almost died." A gloating expression appeared on Master Yinfeng's face.
Running into an old ancestor who had reached the Jindan stage was probably something that even the leader of the Demon Sect himself had not expected.
Chen Luo felt that this matter was most likely related to him. He had been to the Fox Tribe once before. The Demon Clan Master came to the clan with some vague senses and was sure to run into Granny Hu, because he had met Granny Hu once before.
"This old demon went into hiding after being seriously injured. It took me a lot of effort to find his hiding place."
As a great cultivator who had completed the foundation building in the evil cultivation land, the Sect Master of the Demon Cultivation Sect also held the identity of an elder of the Black Stone City. Like the Elder Rong Ling at the beginning, before they fell out, they were all subordinates protected by the Black Stone Patriarch and were part of the Black Stone City. This was why Granny Hu ignored the Sect Master of the Demon Cultivation Sect after he escaped from the demon clan territory to the evil cultivation territory.
Because if he takes action again, it will be a provocation to the Black Stone Ancestor. Once the leader of the Demon Clan encounters a life-and-death crisis, the Black Stone Ancestor will definitely intervene, and it will then turn into a dispute among the Jindan ancestors, which will be a loss.
"It's difficult to kill this person in the evil cultivation area. The Black Stone Patriarch will not watch him get killed."
Chen Luo now also has the token of the elder of Black Stone City on him, so he naturally knows the rules behind it.
"Ancestor Black Stone is now too busy to take care of himself."
Master Yinfeng's eyes flickered and he revealed a secret.
"Do you know why there are so many 'secret techniques of forming elixir' emerging in the past two years?"
Chen Luo's mind moved and he reacted instantly.
"Those secret techniques were released by the Black Stone Ancestor. He is using the cultivators from the evil cultivation land to pave the way for himself to find a glimmer of hope for survival under the heavenly calamity."
"How do you know that?"
Chen Luo suddenly asked.
Even Su Linlin of the Fox Clan didn't know about such a secret matter. How could Master Yinfeng, a casual foundation-building cultivator, know it so clearly?
"I joined the Qionghua Sect."
Master Yinfeng did not shy away from confessing his clinging to someone powerful. In his opinion, this was not a shameful thing. Didn't the leader of the Demon Sect also join the Black Stone Patriarch? Why couldn't he do what others did?
"Qionghua School"
Chen Luo has heard about Qionghua Sect many times over the years. This is the largest sect in the southwest of the evil cultivation area. Most of the upper-level materials in the entire evil cultivation area come from Qionghua Sect. It is said that there are many strong people and masters there. There is a complete cultivation system passed down from the ancient times, and the road leads directly to the Nascent Soul.
"If you are interested, you can also join the Qionghua Sect." Master Yinfeng said when he saw this.
"It's good to lean on a big tree for shade, but it's really hard to be an independent cultivator."
This sentence comes from my heart.
In these years, Master Yinfeng has been a local tyrant in the evil cultivation area, and it seems very glorious, but the materials for the foundation building stage are extremely scarce, and many precious things are monopolized by Black Stone City. Every step of the cultivation is very difficult.
In order to practice, he had gone down to ancient tombs countless times over the past hundreds of years and had sent off countless fellow practitioners.
Every time was a life-threatening situation.
Earn that little bit of resources through repeated intrigues.
The little bit of benefit that these people gained through desperate risks is just ordinary supplies that can be easily exchanged in the eyes of higher-level forces. It is like the spiritual essence of materials monopolized by Black Stone City. This evil land can only be owned by the cultivators of Black Stone City. If they want to obtain it, they can only dig in the ruins and risk their lives.
Compared to Master Yinfeng, Chen Luo is better.
He was skilled in alchemy and had connections with the fox clan, so he was indirectly backed by a powerful force, and so he lived a relatively comfortable life.
"Let's not talk about anything else. As long as you join the Qionghua Sect, you can exchange the resources for forming a pill anywhere. As long as you have enough merits, you can exchange for whatever you want. Black Stone City can't do anything to you."
Chen Luo is a second-level formation master and a second-level alchemist. If he were to introduce such a person to join the Qionghua Sect, he would definitely earn a lot of merit.
"Isn't Daoist a pill refiner? There are still many third-level pill recipes in Qionghua Sect! As long as Daoist's merits are sufficient, it won't be a problem to exchange for third-level pill recipes."
"I heard that the Qionghua Sect intends to go north. Is this true?"
Chen Luo was also weighing the pros and cons.
For him, it doesn't matter whether he joins Qionghua Sect or not. If the conditions of Qionghua Sect are too harsh, he will ignore them. If the conditions of Qionghua Sect are relatively loose, it's okay to change his backer. After all, he is an alchemist and can get along well anywhere.
If all else fails, you can go to the fox tribe and ask Su Linlin for help.
"It depends on the condition of Black Stone Patriarch. If he can survive this disaster, then he will be fine. If he can't, then the world will be completely changed."
Master Yinfeng was not very clear either. He was not yet a high-ranking official in the Qionghua Sect and had only heard some vague rumors.
"I'll think about it. If I really want to join, I'll definitely ask a fellow Taoist to introduce me."
Chen Luo nodded, neither agreeing nor refusing immediately.
Upon seeing this, Master Yinfeng did not try to persuade him any further and shifted the topic back to the leader of the Demon Sect.
"The place where the leader of the Demon Sect is hiding is the one I bought in the Qionghua Sect. The power of this top-level sect is beyond our imagination." As he said this, Master Yinfeng took out a bone tablet from his arms and placed it on the stone table.
A streak of light flashed by, and a small enclosed valley appeared out of thin air.
This is a basin surrounded by mountains on all sides. There are tall and dense forests all around. Deep in the middle of the forest, there is a sunken pit that looks like a passage.
"Right here!" (End of this chapter)
