Chapter 526
“Seniors, they…” Those few independent martial artists wanted to remind Yuan Jing and Duan Linzhi that the disciples of Wushuang Sect would not let it go so easily.
Yuan Jing smiled, "We understand. By the way, we can't take the thousand-year-old cloud fragrant wood for nothing. Let's put it this way. These pills are exactly what you need. You can take them and share them." After taking out several pill bottles and throwing them over, he turned to look at Duan Linzhi, "Let's go."
Duan Linzhi took his hand, and the two of them disappeared into the dense forest again, disappearing from the eyes of these warriors, just as mysterious and sudden as when they appeared.
It took a while before someone woke up from being rescued: "Look what medicine the senior gave us."
"Wow, this is an earth-level elixir!"
"This is a top-notch healing elixir!"
"I've been stuck at a bottleneck for a long time. This pill can help me break through. I originally wanted to sell the thousand-year-old cloud fragrant wood and use the Yuanshi I got to buy it."
"Oh my god, it turns out that the senior just now is a master of alchemy, at least an earth-level alchemist!"
The group of people shouted in surprise and then realized that they were not safe yet, so they quickly took the pills and left. After they solved their own troubles, they would find a safe place to take the pills. With the pills given by their seniors, their strength would be greatly improved.
It can be said that compared to the thousand-year-old cloud fragrant wood, these pills are of great value. Even if they go to the thousand-year-old cloud fragrant wood to sell them, they may not be able to buy these pills, because some pills are in short supply and are not something that people of their class can trade.
Unfortunately, they don’t even know who the senior who saved them is.
It was great value for them, but Yuan Jing still felt that he had gotten a good deal. To him, elixirs were just made casually and could be bought at any price outside. However, the thousand-year-old Yunxiang wood was hard to come by, especially for alchemists, as it could purify and increase soul power. The Yunxiang Pill made with it as the main ingredient could help high-level earth-level alchemists advance to heaven-level alchemists.
The recipe for the Yunxiang Pill was the one they had obtained during their experience this time. Now they had even the most rare main ingredient, so Yuan Jing was in a good mood. Although he didn't necessarily need the Yunxiang Pill to make a breakthrough, he liked to study different pills and delve into their pharmacology. In the future, when he went to other worlds, even if there was no thousand-year-old Yunxiang wood, he could use what he had studied thoroughly to refine pills with the same effects.
The two of them ignored the few Wushuang Sect disciples who ran away, because Yuan Jing took action in front of them. The stuff he put on them was more effective than the Demon-Luring Powder and the Tianjiang Powder. It was colorless and odorless, making it even harder to find any traces. The area they were in was still far from the exit, and those few people were really capable of holding on until the exit. Yuan Jing admired them for that.
Although the two did not deliberately reveal their whereabouts, the news that a sword expert appeared in the Tianxiao Mountains still spread. Many people suspected that this sword expert was Duan Linzhi who had appeared in the imperial capital of the Jinchi Kingdom before. Judging from his route, it was normal for him to appear in the Tianxiao Mountains. It was thought that he entered the Tianxiao Mountains for training.
As soon as this news was speculated, people with different purposes entered Tianxiao Mountains. One of them wanted to take the opportunity to get close to Duan Linzhi, especially the prince of the Jinchi Kingdom. If they could win Duan Linzhi over to their side, even if they didn't express their attitude, as long as they became friends with him, it would make their path to seizing power much smoother and they could get many points with the Jinchi Emperor.
The other type was hostile. The news of Duan Linzhi's humiliation of Wushuang Sect in the restaurant that day had already been reported back to Wushuang Sect. In addition, after Duan Linzhi was promoted to a military general, he had been suppressing the Wushuang Sect's disciples of the same age, which made Wushuang Sect extremely embarrassed. In the past, Duan Linzhi's whereabouts were difficult to find, but this time he took the initiative to expose it. Therefore, some people from Wushuang Sect sent people into Tianxiao Mountains with an indescribable mentality. If they could take the opportunity to eliminate Duan Linzhi, it would definitely greatly undermine the morale of Xingjian Sect.
There is a saying that the genius who survives is the best genius. Many geniuses cannot make it to the end, so a dead Duan Linzhi is not worth writing about.
In addition, there are some people who are quite confident in their own strength and want to find Duan Linzhi to fight. If they can beat Duan Linzhi, they can step on Duan Linzhi to become famous throughout the Xuanwu Continent.
Everyone focused on Duan Linzhi, but Yuan Jing, who was traveling with Duan Linzhi, was ignored by everyone. Many people didn't even know that Duan Linzhi didn't travel alone. In their impression, such a genius has always been a loner, so how could he travel with others?
Therefore, the few rescued independent martial artists also heard the relevant news when they returned to Jinchi Country. At first, they excitedly suspected that the sword master they met was Duan Linzhi, but then they thought of Yuan Jing, the earth-level alchemist, and shook their heads to reject their speculation.
The news spread so quickly that when Yuan Jing and Duan Linzhi were still training in the Tianxiao Mountains, the news reached the ears of Zhai Yuanhao of the Qimu Sect.
One day, he had just come out of the martial arts hall, sweating profusely, and was about to go back to his cave to wash up, when he saw a group of disciples gathered outside discussing something enthusiastically. Zhai Yuanhao didn't pay attention at first and just wanted to walk past without preparing to join in their discussion, but just as he passed by, a name left his footprints.
"The Duan Linzhi Peak Master is in the Tianxiao Mountains. What do you think is the chance of us running into the Duan Peak Master if we go to the Tianxiao Mountains now?"
Zhai Yuanhao quickly grabbed the disciple and asked anxiously, "Duan Linzhi? He is in Tianxiao Mountain Range? How did you know? What happened outside?"
"Oh, Junior Brother Zhai, Junior Brother Zhai turns a deaf ear to the world outside and only focuses on cultivation. No wonder you don't know the big things happening outside. Let me tell you..." The disciple knew Zhai Yuanhao. He was brought back by the eldest daughter of the Qimu Sect, so how could he not be famous? He was a little bit exclusive to him at first, but later he found that this kid was too diligent in cultivation and his strength was increasing very fast, so his displeasure turned into admiration.
The disciple explained how the news about Duan Linzhi came out, as well as all the news related to Duan Linzhi, and then asked curiously, "Junior Brother Zhai, do you also know Peak Master Duan?"
Zhai Yuanhao grinned and said, "Yes, I know him. Master Duan Feng came from Fengyan Country just like me. My eighth brother is in Xingjian Sect now."
"That's great for you, Junior Brother Zhai. Let's meet Master Duan some other day when we have the chance." Everyone admires the strong, especially in the Xuanwu Continent. Even though the Qimu Sect is not known for its combat, it does not prevent them from admiring and yearning for Duan Linzhi, the youngest military commander.
Zhai Yuanhao was proud of it, but he didn't agree to it outright: "It's too far away. If I could meet him, I would definitely do it. Master Duan is actually a very nice person and easy to talk to."
The gossiping disciples gathered again because of Zhai Yuanhao's appearance, but when they heard him say this, they looked at him with suspicion. Is the Duan Linzhi that Junior Brother Zhai knows the same person as the Duan Fengzhu they are talking about? Although they admired Duan Fengzhu, they did not think that Duan Fengzhu was a warrior who was easy to talk to.
But in Zhai Yuanhao's impression, Duan Linzhi was an image of someone who took great care of his eighth brother. Could such a person be a bad person? Of course not.
Although these disciples were suspicious, they were kind enough not to expose him. At least they knew that Master Duan came from Fengyan Country. Junior Brother Zhai did not lie about this, but perhaps his eyesight was a little poor. They knew how to take care of Junior Brother Zhai's heart.
However, Zhai Yuanhao had no idea of their thoughts. He was focusing on another matter: "Brother, you said that Master Duan Feng and Wushuang Sect had a confrontation? Will Wushuang Sect let it go after being slapped in the face by Master Duan Feng?"
He didn't know whether Duan Linzhi came out to train alone or with his eighth brother. Logically, his eighth brother had only been in the Xingjian Sect for a short time, so with his qualifications, he should have stayed in the Sect to focus on training. However, he knew from family communications that the eighth brother was extremely talented and was in no way inferior to him, and that the eighth brother had such a good relationship with Duan Linzhi, so when he heard about this, he was worried about Duan Linzhi and also worried about his eighth brother who might have come out with him.
What if the Wushuang Sect targeted them? There were many dangerous places in the Tianxiao Mountains, and the news could not be sent out. It would be bad if they were in danger.
Speaking of Wushuang Sect, the expressions of Qimu Sect disciples were not so good either. They all stood on Duan Linzhi's side. "It started in the capital of Jinchi State. An arrogant kid who had gone astray actually bullied local warriors in the capital of Jinchi State under the banner of Elder Qian of Wushuang Sect. Master Duan happened to run into him and taught him a lesson. The kid went back to Shenying State to complain. It is said that his sister is a concubine who is currently favored by Elder Qian. Elder Qian seems to be very unhappy with Master Duan's actions."
"Later, I heard that a sword expert in Tianxiao Mountain Range taught Wushuang Sect disciples a lesson. In fact, it was those disciples who did something excessive. Everyone knows that Wushuang Sect members have always been arrogant and domineering in Tianxiao Mountain Range, and they don't take warriors from other sects and forces seriously. This time, they hit a wall, and instead of reflecting on their own actions, they blamed the sword expert. It is said that the sword expert is most likely Master Duan."
"Did Master Duan go there alone?" Zhai Yuanhao became more and more anxious as he listened.
"Ah, we didn't know that. Master Duan would go out with others to train?"
"No, I recently heard a piece of news that a sword expert has a companion, but that sword expert may not be Master Duan Feng, but someone else."
Zhai Yuanhao was now 70% to 80% certain that his eighth brother had come out with Duan Linzhi. He said goodbye to these disciples and ran away in a hurry. The rest of the people continued to discuss the matter between Duan Linzhi and the Wushuang Sect.
He wanted to go into the Tianxiao Mountains to find his eighth brother. He remembered that Xie Shuchun was from the Wushuang Sect. Like Yuan Jing, he had no good feelings towards the Wushuang Sect. He had heard a lot about the arrogance and domineering behavior of the Wushuang Sect disciples while staying in the Qimu Gate. He couldn't let his eighth brother take risks.
"Where are you going in such a hurry, brother?"
Zhai Yuanhao, who was about to set off after packing his bags, ran into Mu Xuanning again, who pulled Zhai Yuanhao aside and asked.
It has been almost two years since Zhai Yuanhao joined the Qimu Sect. The relationship between Zhai Yuanhao and Mu Xuanning is even closer than in the plot. Even the sect leader did not intervene in this matter. In his opinion, with Zhai Yuanhao's talent, he is fully qualified to be the son-in-law of the Qimu Sect.
Zhai Yuanhao explained it in a few words, and then the group of people increased from one to five. In addition to Mu Xuanning, there were two other senior brothers and one senior sister joining in. Their strength was no weaker than Zhai Yuanhao. After all, it was quite dangerous to go deep into the Tianxiao Mountains.
Mu Xuanning still remembered Zhai Yuanhao's family, especially his eighth brother. This was also thanks to Duan Linzhi. Of course, she would pay more attention to people who were close to Duan Linzhi: "Junior brother, are you sure your eighth brother is also in Tianxiao Mountain Range?"
Zhai Yuanhao explained: "It's better to be safe than sorry. I heard from a senior brother that there is a sword expert with a companion in Tianxiao Mountain Range. I'm worried that this sword expert is Master Duan."
The two senior brothers were more optimistic. They patted Junior Brother Zhai on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry about it. All of us combined are no match for Peak Master Duan. With Peak Master Duan here, your eighth brother will be safer."
Zhai Yuanhao gritted his teeth and said, "I am worried about those shameless people from the Wushuang Sect. They can't beat Master Duan openly, so they will come secretly."
Once these words were spoken, no one else could refute them. It was true that the image of some of the Wushuang Sect's disciples was really bad.
Wushuang Sect also had dealings with Qimu Sect, trading in elixirs and Yuanzhi, but Wushuang Sect was powerful and Qimu Sect did not have much say in the transactions and was heavily suppressed by Wushuang Sect, which is why they had such an impression of Wushuang Sect.
Yuan Jing and Duan Linzhi planned to visit Zhai Yuanhao when they passed by the territory of Qimumen, but they didn't expect that Zhai Yuanhao would rush to Tianxiao Mountains before them after hearing the news about them, and wanted to meet Yuan Jing in Tianxiao Mountains.
Since he entered the Xingjian Sect, he rarely heard news from Zhai Yuanhao. After all, they were too far away and communication was not convenient. But in his opinion, as the son of destiny in this world, Zhai Yuanhao's life could not be monotonous, but full of excitement and challenges. His strength would increase after each encounter. He was the type of person who became more courageous after more setbacks.
Of course, compared to Duan Linzhi, because the Qimu Sect is a second-rate sect, although Zhai Yuanhao has outstanding talent, he is still far from being seen by the strong men of the entire Xuanwu Continent. It is too difficult to know his situation from outsiders.
The two were currently trying to break the formation at the bottom of a cliff. They wanted to prevent Zhai Yuanhao from being forced to fall off the cliff like others. They passed by here inadvertently and found that the aura under the cliff was a little unusual, so they stopped and went in to investigate.
As a result, they found that the mid-air of the cliff was full of restrictions. Anyone who fell down would be imprisoned by the restrictions and lose all their energy. But Duan Linzhi was a smart guy, so he destroyed it with great force. Then the two of them entered the bottom of the cliff safely, and found that there were many formations here. Yuan Jing became interested and began to crack them.
Yuan Jing said as he deciphered the code: "I'm a little suspicious whether he has snatched Yuan Hao's opportunity. The environment and layout here look like it's reserved for the son of destiny."
Think about the poor Zhai Yuanhao who was being chased and fled all the way, and finally he ran to the edge of a cliff. There was no way to escape, and the pursuers came again, so a fight broke out on the edge of the cliff. In the end, Zhai Yuanhao was knocked off the cliff.
The pursuers thought that Zhai Yuanhao would surely die after falling off the cliff, or maybe it was because he was a man of luck, and was destined to suffer a lot, but there would be an adventure waiting for him at the bottom of the cliff.
