Chapter 875 Fragrance



Two months ago, "Liu Jingyu" sent Wen Ziqing to the secular world on a mission. Many Yushan Sect cultivators watched, expecting Wen Ziqing to disobey. Strangely, Wen Ziqing actually obediently left the secret realm.

Zhu Xiaozhao felt his brain wasn't working. The cultivation resources for each peak master of the Yushan Sect were all provided by the sect. Which one of them wasn't busy cultivating within the sect? No one was willing to work in the secular world.

Although Zhu Xiaozhao didn't want to see Wen Ziqing, half an hour later, Wen Ziqing's figure appeared at the foot of Xiaoyao Peak.

"Uncle Master Wen, please stop." Zhu Xiaozhao stepped forward and blocked Wen Ziqing's way up the mountain.

Wen Ziqing took out his peak master token and waved it in front of Zhu Xiaozhao.

Zhu Xiaozhao's face darkened. The Jinping Peak master's token! Any corner of the Yushan Sect could be taken with it. But Zhu Xiaozhao couldn't help but stop him.

"Well...Uncle Wen, the master is in seclusion today and will not see any guests." Zhu Xiaozhao blinked at Wen Ziqing and said hesitantly.

Wen Ziqing stared at Zhu Xiaozhao with a cold face, without saying a word or taking a step back.

"Uncle Wen, please don't make things difficult for me. I'm just following orders." Zhu Xiaozhao's body trembled slightly. Zhu Xiaozhao was afraid that Wen Ziqing would get angry. He was just a small Qigong cultivator. He didn't know if Master Wen would slap him to death.

Wen Ziqing glanced at Zhu Xiaozhao, turned around and left.

Just like that...left? Zhu Xiaozhao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked at Wen Ziqing's gradually receding back, a little disheveled. He thought that even if he didn't die today, he would be skinned alive!

"Hey, hey, hey! Master, why are you leaving like this? It's such a disgrace to me, Kong Ming." Kong Ming couldn't help but shout.

He was just a small cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage, so why was the master afraid of him? According to Kong Ming, he should be slapped flat on his face. Otherwise, the master would be embarrassed by anyone who wanted to lose face in the future. How could he still live happily?

"Tsk~! Little Stone, I told you you're stupid but you don't admit it. Have you forgotten my magical powers?" Wen Ziqing ignored Kong Ming's impatience, and the sound of the Chaos Pearl pulling rang out.

Yes! Aunt Zhuzhu's greatest skill is invisibility. Apparently, being frightened by "Chansi" has made her brain stupid! Kong Ming was so annoyed that he just wanted to pat himself on the back.

"Grandma Zhuzhu, you are so amazing. You flew past that idiot and he didn't even notice any trace of you." Kong Ming couldn't help but praise the Chaos Pearl when he saw Zhu Xiaozhao letting the Chaos Pearl go up the mountain in front of him without knowing anything.

"Needless to say, as long as I don't want to be discovered, not to mention that kid in the Qi training stage, even the great masters in the spirit transformation stage won't be able to find any clues." Chaos Pearl boasted to himself proudly.

Ten minutes later, the Chaos Pearl took Wen Ziqing and Zhou Yuanyuan to the outside of the master's hall at the top of Xiaoyao Peak.

Through the window conjured by the Chaos Pearl, Zhou Yuanyuan saw that the main hall of the sect leader was empty. She couldn't help but pull Wen Ziqing's hand and asked, "Brother Ziqing, are you in the Yushan Sect short of people?"

"Short of people? No way? Didn't you say that there were so many people from the Yushan Sect all the way here just now?" Wen Ziqing felt the soft little hand in his palm, his head a little dizzy, and he almost didn't know how to answer Zhou Yuanyuan's question.

"Not short of people? How come the leader of Yushan Sect doesn't even have a Taoist boy to serve him?" Zhou Yuanyuan didn't notice that Wen Ziqing was taking advantage of her. Her mind was on the empty hall. She found it strange no matter how she looked at it!

Wen Ziqing remained silent. After Zhou Yuanyuan's words, Wen Ziqing also found "Liu Jingyu" rather strange. He recalled how Taoist Baopu had frequently visited Xiaoyao Peak after he had taken over his body. At that time, at the Xiaoyao Peak Master's Hall, there were at least twenty people serving or waiting to serve "Liu Jingyu" every day.

After Wen Ziqing refined the soul of Taoist Baopu, all the scenes that Taoist Baopu had seen at the time were read by Wen Ziqing.

Could it be that "Liu Jingyu" is a frugal person and doesn't want to show off his status as the head of a sect, so he laid off these serving Taoist boys?

Impossible. Even if the number of serving Taoist boys was reduced, not all of them would be left. Could it be that "Liu Jingyu" had a secret that he didn't want to be discovered, so he sent the Taoist boys away?

Many speculations flashed through Wen Ziqing's mind.

"No more guessing. We'll know when we go out." When Zhou Yuanyuan was in the trial world of the Chaos Pearl, she couldn't use her spiritual sense to scan the outside world. She could only see things within a distance of twenty meters outside through the window created by the Chaos Pearl.

"Well, don't be afraid, I'm here!" Wen Ziqing held Zhou Yuanyuan's little hand, feeling so happy that he just wanted to fly.

There was a barrier outside the Sect Leader's Hall, but it wasn't a problem for the Chaos Pearl. Within seconds, the Chaos Pearl had broken through the barrier and flown into the hall.

Just like outside, the master's hall was also empty and there was not a single person in sight.

"Zhuzhu, let us out first." Zhou Yuanyuan ordered Chaos Pearl.

Since she discovered that there was something "strange" in the master's hall, Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't wait to use her spiritual sense to sense the surroundings.

Zhou Yuanyuan remembered that when Zhu Xiaozhao had stopped Wen Ziqing earlier, he had used the excuse that "Liu Jingyu was in seclusion." Zhou Yuanyuan wanted to use her spiritual sense to "see" carefully. Was "Liu Jingyu" really in seclusion? Or was he engaging in some shady business?

Before Zhou Yuanyuan released her spiritual sense, she smelled a strange fragrance at the tip of her nose.

"Brother Ziqing, there seems to be a strange fragrance here." Zhou Yuanyuan pulled Wen Ziqing's hand and said softly.

Even without Zhou Yuanyuan's reminder, Wen Ziqing had noticed the strange aroma. A strange feeling welled up in Wen Ziqing's heart; he seemed to like the aroma very much and couldn't wait to get closer to it.

When Wen Ziqing came to his senses, he found himself holding Zhou Yuanyuan's hand and coming to an empty alchemy room.

It was said to be empty because the alchemy room was huge, covering over a thousand square meters. Aside from a man-sized alchemy furnace in the middle, there was nothing else in the room, not even a shelf.

The lid of the alchemy furnace was closed tightly, and there was not a single spark of fire underneath.

The fragrance disappeared in the room. Wen Ziqing held Zhou Yuanyuan's hand and walked around the alchemy furnace, which was as tall as a person, twice, but did not find anything strange.

The alchemy furnace is made of neither gold nor copper, and there are some strange symbols carved on the furnace wall.

Zhou Yuanyuan knocked on the handle of the alchemy furnace out of curiosity, and the lid of the furnace suddenly opened.

The fragrance was stronger, a bit like the smell of the Ten Thousand Years Spirit Liquid that Chaos Pearl had smelled not long ago, but not quite the same.
