More than a hundred miles away from the hermitage where Chu Tian lived, a tall building made of green jade stood on the edge of a cliff. The building was so steep that it seemed as if it would fly away with the wind.
Yuyin Zhenjun stood on the terrace on the roof, with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance.
There was a green light flashing in his eyes. Just now, five fire crossbows that could destroy the city exploded at the same time. The black and red mixed fire column shot straight into the sky. He saw the whole process.
"A bunch of incompetent trash, they deserve to be taught a lesson!"
Master Yuyin pursed his lips tightly and snorted coldly from deep in his nose.
With his cultivation, he could have arrived at the scene in time when the five City-Destroying Fire Crossbows exploded, limiting the terrifying damage of the City-Destroying Fire Crossbows to the smallest range. Even the small town that was chopped and killed by Jin Hu's men could have been saved and not destroyed.
However, Master Yuyin was in a bad mood and was too lazy to take action.
He watched the pillar of fire rise slowly into the sky, and watched the smoke and dust carrying terrifying destructive energy being blown hundreds of miles away by the strong wind, withering large tracts of trees, flowers and plants wherever it passed.
"My feathered dove bead necklace!" Jade Seal True Lord gritted his teeth and was secretly ruthless.
His feather-shaped beads were taken away, but the Du family of Aoba Island was unwilling to make additional compensation!
Isn't this asking him, the dignified Jade Seal Master, to work for the Du family for nothing? How could such a thing be done? Jade Seal Master was furious, with nowhere to vent his anger. He was even too lazy to go around these days.
The pirates under the command of the One-horned Dragon King Shafei are attacking more and more frequently, and some pirates have even infiltrated Aoba Island and wreaked havoc!
But what does this have to do with him, Jade Seal Master?
He didn't get the compensation that the Du family promised him, so he could just deny it!
Given his character as Yuyin Zhenjun, he can still stay on Qingye Island to help the Du family maintain its reputation. The Du family should be grateful.
"Sha Fei, Sha Fei, I have the lives of more than 100,000 pirates in my hands!" Master Yuyin muttered to himself with a gloomy face, "Don't let me down! How much are you prepared to pay to redeem these 100,000 people? If I could have another feather necklace, or a treasure of equal value, I would not bother to bother with your shitty affairs."
Yuyin Zhenjun was in a complicated mood. He even began to doubt whether the person who hit him with a club and took away his feather beads was from the Du family of Qingye Island?
Although there haven't been any reports of any remarkable masters emerging from the Du family in the past few hundred years, a spiritual family like this with a thousand-year heritage should have one or two life-saving cards, right?
Heavy footsteps were heard, and Hu Dali staggered up to the rooftop carrying a jar of wine.
He burped, tugged at the cold jade lock on his neck that Master Yuyin used to imprison him, and said in a carefree manner, "Hey, Senior Yuyin, I heard a piece of news that a great alchemist has come to the island."
Hu Dali licked his lips with a hint of greed. "As soon as he arrived on the island, he took out a bottle of Hundred-Year-Old Pill and asked the Du family to help him sell it. Weren't you still nagging a few days ago, saying that you wanted to find a skilled alchemist?"
Yuyin Zhenjun's eyebrows suddenly raised, he turned around and looked at Hu Dali deeply: "Huh? You are so lucky? You really found out the news of the alchemist? You knew that I was looking for an alchemist to worship, so you deliberately deceived me, right?"
Hu Dali spread his hands and looked at Master Yuyin very frankly.
Yuyin Zhenjun believed Hu Dali's words. A few days ago, he captured Hu Dali and his group of pirates alive and imprisoned them as bargaining chips to blackmail Shafei, the One-horned Dragon King. The other pirates were fine, but Hu Dali's true form was actually a Lingxiao White Tiger!
The overjoyed Jade Seal True Lord immediately took Hu Dali with him and promised to accept him as his disciple.
So these days, those pirates who were captured alive were all tortured, but Hu Dali was the only one who did not suffer much because he was with Yuyin Zhenjun.
Jade Seal Master boasted that he was very good to Hu Dali and believed that Hu Dali should be grateful and repay the favor.
"An alchemist who can refine a hundred-year pill? That's very valuable! Who knows, maybe, if he can refine a thousand-year pill, haha!" Two balls of emerald green light shone brightly in Yuyin Zhenjun's eyes, and his body trembled slightly with excitement.
The feather partridge beads have been lost, and there is little hope of getting them back.
The reason why Master Yuyin captured so many pirates alive was actually just to make up for the losses as much as possible.
However, if we could capture a skilled alchemist, that would be great!
"Where does he live?" Jade Seal Master asked Hu Dali.
"Look, it's over there, a hundred miles away, on that red mountain!" Hu Dali's ability to gather information is quite good. After all, he is a long-time bandit who came from the bandit camp of Zhen Sanzhou. He is very familiar with all kinds of underworld tricks.
Yuyin Zhenjun snorted coldly: "The Du family of Qingye Island! Haha!"
With a sneer, Master Yuyin shook his body and teleported away from the tall building.
Hu Dali picked up the wine jar, gulped down a big mouthful of wine, and grabbed the jade lock on his neck in anger: "You old man, you want me to be your disciple? Hey, you have to give me enough benefits! How can you not give benefits to my handsome and majestic brother Dali to join your sect?"
In the temple, Chu Tian pondered over the recipe for a while, memorizing the methods of extracting medicinal materials, changes in firepower and intensity, etc. recorded in the recipe. Suddenly, Haolong Zhenzun, who was sitting next to him, shook and disappeared silently.
Du Hongye narrowed her eyes, and suddenly asked Chu Tian with a big smile on her face: "Mr. Ming Wang, do you have any other instructions? The spiritual weapon used to deal with the bottle of Millennium Pill just now will be delivered by the family elder later. You..."
A breeze blew in the temple, and a figure suddenly appeared, standing straight in front of Chu Tian.
Chu Tian frowned and looked at the person who came. Du Hongye had already bowed deeply and respectfully to the person who came: "Master Yuyin!"
Chu Tian's heart moved. According to Du Wen's previous statement, Yuyin Zhenjun was one of the three true spirits invited by the Du family of Qingye Island to help? Judging from his appearance, he looked exactly like Yue Yinlin, the pretty boy. The one that Lady Yue wanted to capture alive must be him!
Standing up, Chu Tian clasped his fists and saluted to Master Yuyin without being servile or overbearing: "Junior Ming Wang, greetings to Senior Yuyin!"
Yuyin Zhenjun smiled calmly, stretched out his right hand and gently placed it on Chu Tian's shoulder: "Ming Wang? Your nickname is a bit strange, but the name doesn't matter, are you an alchemist?"
Chu Tian nodded confidently: "My attainments in alchemy are quite extraordinary."
"Very good, I like confident people!" Jade Seal Master looked Chu Tian up and down for a while, and nodded slowly: "You can make pills, then the secret texts of ancient alchemists... Well, it seems that you are quite accomplished in these secret texts."
When Master Yuyin saw the recipe written in secret on the python skin in Chu Tian's hand, he immediately laughed:
"Very good, from now on, you are mine. When I leave Aoba Island, you will come with me!"
Du Hongye's face suddenly became extremely ugly - how could Master Yuyin, this shameless old man, still eat and take things at the same time?
