Chapter 162 The Temperamental New-Style Old Alchemist
Unaware that Su Yao's search for her brother had gone completely astray, Su Yu was leisurely lounging in the pilot's seat of the small airship, her long legs casually crossed and hanging down, tossing and playing with the exquisite fruit that Fei Tutian had failed to hand over.
Spiritual energy control is a truly great invention; he only needs to sit here, watch the path, and pay attention to the operation.
Su Yu was considering whether to go directly to the Dan Alliance headquarters or pretend to be a newly upgraded late-stage Mahayana cultivator and expose her whereabouts so that others would come looking for her.
Fine, both are fine too.
Thinking this, he lowered his cultivation aura and planned to change into the attire of an ordinary rogue cultivator after landing.
He thought about the two clues he left for A Yao: a dagger sheath and a ghost market symbol. He wondered when A Yao would discover that her brother, Su Yu, was the Ghost Lord himself.
Su Yu was actually quite looking forward to it.
He had already come up with a very simple and blunt reason for himself.
That's right, that's why he doesn't go home. It's because he doesn't know that these are his family members; he only gets close to them because he subconsciously feels familiar with them!
Sister, Mother, Father, this irresistible urge to get closer is proof of the deep affection between them!
So it's understandable that after losing her memory, she subconsciously felt she had family and therefore found herself a younger brother or something, haha.
Even though my younger brother has become my future partner.
We'll talk about that later. Let's first get Twelve to build up some goodwill and integrate into the family, and also give our parents a buffer period.
A few years ago, he didn't dare to act rashly to find someone because he didn't know what the plot required. Also, since he was in the Demon Realm and knew that he would definitely not find his parents there, his demon life trajectory was normal and he cultivated step by step.
There is absolutely no evidence that he did not suffer from amnesia.
When A Yao discovers he is her brother, before they acknowledge each other, he will fabricate a story that he suffered a severe head injury and was so stimulated that he remembered everything. He will have the leaders of the Ghost Market and Twelve testify for him, and then find a few alchemists and doctors from the Ghost Market to justify his amnesia recovery.
Having come up with a reason, Su Yu felt that the road to recognizing her new partner would be very pleasant and smooth.
As long as the timing for "memory recovery" is right, there shouldn't be any major problems.
On the fourth day, Su Yu was already in Dan City, where the headquarters of the Dan Alliance was located.
The Pill Alliance holds the greatest power in Pill City. Under its jurisdiction, alchemy and herb cultivation flourish, and most large-scale competitions among alchemists are held within Pill City.
However, it was only by chance that Su Yao, the protagonist, would be able to participate in such a large-scale event and shine brightly. Su Yu entered Dan City in a calm and ordinary manner, and the city was peaceful and quiet, with no sign of any upcoming competition.
However, after entering the city, there was a person who followed Su Yu at a distance. This person had a concealment talisman on him and probably carried some other high-level magical artifacts to hide his aura.
It is evident that the efficiency of mobilizing personnel for filming is actually quite high.
Su Yu pretended that he hadn't noticed anything. He was waiting for this person to send a message back, hoping that he could lure Sui Ying over directly.
He entered the headquarters of the Pill Alliance with an air of nonchalance and casually stopped a passing alchemist: "Excuse me, how do I get to Alchemy Room B2?"
The alchemist looked dazed for a moment, then enthusiastically led the way: "Number Two, it's upstairs. Go upstairs, turn left, and it's the sixth room. This alchemy room has always been used by Alchemist Tai Cong. Are you here to deliver spiritual plants to him? Let me tell you, Lord Tai Cong is the honorary vice leader of our Alchemy Alliance. He just has a bit of a temper, but that's normal for someone his age. Just deliver the spiritual plants and leave, it shouldn't be a problem. Just don't touch anything in the alchemy room, or Lord Tai Cong will get angry."
"However, Lord Tai Cong's temper seems to have gotten worse these past two days, so be careful."
Su Yu didn't ask a single question.
The young alchemist had already led Su Yu to the gate of No. 2, without consulting her.
"This is the place. Go by yourself. If Lord Tai Cong sees me, he'll definitely say something about me being lazy and not doing my job properly."
Su Yu smiled and nodded to the young alchemist, a faint purple light flickering in her eyes: "Thank you for your help. Go and attend to your own business."
The young alchemist froze for a moment, then a strange blush crept onto his cheeks: "No, it's no trouble at all. I'm glad I could help you..."
The voice faded as the young alchemist walked away in a daze, only snapping back to reality when he exited the headquarters of the Alchemy Alliance.
What just happened?
No, wait, he should go home and collect the dried medicinal herbs!
The young alchemist immediately ran away. If he missed the appointed time and his parents returned to find the medicinal herbs not yet prepared, he would be the one who had to be cleaned up!
Once Su Yu was sure the young alchemist had gone far away, she knocked on the door casually and called out half-heartedly, "Is anyone home? I've come to deliver some Linglong Fruit."
The door was opened a crack, and a hand reached out.
Su Yu looked at the exquisite fruit in her hand, and a long, flat stone.
Sigh, he spent a long time searching the wasteland outside the city after disembarking from the flying boat in order to find a stone that could be easily disguised as a token using illusion magic.
There was a subtle pang of heartache in handing it over.
I really want this person inside the gate to pay me for his work, as well as the spirit stones costing the flying boat to come over.
Su Yu remained silent for a while. An impatient hand reached out from under the door and beckoned, followed by a hoarse, low, angry shout from inside: "Where's the stuff?!"
Su Yu replied, "Here."
Then they placed the stone in the person's hand, and thankfully, they thoughtfully helped the person tuck their fingers in to hold it firmly.
According to the young alchemist, Tai Cong was a grumpy old man, while Su Yu considered herself a kind and respectful demon.
He finally found a suitable flat stone; the old man must not let him drop it.
In case it comes in handy later.
The hand that was touched paused subtly for a moment, as if goosebumps had risen, before quickly withdrawing its hand and closing the door.
Su Yu waited for a moment, estimating that the old man should be close to confirming the authenticity of the keepsake.
So he took a big step back.
The next moment, the door was pushed open forcefully, slamming against the wall and bouncing back a few times. A voice, filled with irritation and disdain, followed: "I asked for the item! What do you mean by giving me just a jade talisman?! Couldn't you have given me the Linglong Fruit along with it?!"
Su Yu: "..."
Thankfully, I stepped back just now.
The person who spoke was Tai Cong, the irritable old man the young alchemist had mentioned. His hair and beard were both white, and they were fluffy and messy like an explosion. But this old man was also somewhat trendy.
He was wearing earrings in both ears.
Seeing that Su Yu didn't say anything, Tai glanced around and reached out to snatch the exquisite fruit from his hand: "Hurry up and give it to me!"
With a smile, Su Yu used her height advantage to raise her arm and pushed Tai Cong, who was halfway out of the alchemy room, back with a forceful push from her other hand.
He went inside himself and locked the door behind him.
"How strange, it turns out that Vice Alliance Leader Tai Cong is actually a demon disguised as a human."
His gaze lightly swept over Tai's ear.
Those two earrings are magical artifacts with a function similar to the Spirit Transformation Bracelet; they can conceal demonic energy and distort it into spiritual energy.
Su Yu thought that such a volatile temper seemed quite normal for demons.
