Chapter 19: The Search for Elixir

The male masked man checked the tokens in the hands of the other five masked men, and after making sure that there was nothing wrong with them, he said to the five masked men: "Everyone, one of our brothers died today! This time, I asked him to kill a person whose cultivation was only at the pinnacle of cultivation, but he failed, look at his injuries! Look here!"

The male masked man took off the clothes of Zhang Mazi's corpse and let the other five masked men look at Zhang Mazi's heart.

"After examination, I concluded that he should have been pierced through the heart by a shot from the enemy! He has armor on his body, you look at this armor, this armor can block the sneak attack of a pre-fusion martial artist, I judge that this time, he was pierced through the heart by a mid-fusion martial artist!"

The other five masked men looked at the masked man in bewilderment, their eyes full of doubt.

They thought in their hearts that the person who died today was just a martial artist who was in the middle stage of cultivation, and the death of the other party was not a pity, but it was the male masked man who made a fuss, which made them feel a little shocked in their hearts.

And the cultivation of these people is at least above the peak of fusion, and they are full of confidence in themselves.

"Who among you knows what the hell is going on?"

The masked man asked.

The five masked men frowned slightly, their eyes flickering, and their brains spinning rapidly.

"Yan Eighteen, tell me what is going on. ”

After a while, the male masked man questioned a female masked man.

The female masked man hesitated for a moment, and asked puzzledly: "Tie Sanqi, I think it may be that there are other masters around that target to keep the target that Zhang Mazi wants to assassinate, and Zhang Mazi's death should be related to the master lurking in the shadows!"

The masked man, known as Tie Sanqi, nodded slightly.

"Yan Eighteen, this time Zhang Mazi has no way to complete the task, and the high-level above naturally decided to send someone else to complete this task! I thought about it for a long time, and finally I thought of you!"

Yan Shibai hurriedly shook his head and said, "Tie Sanqi, I don't want to accept this task! I have other things on my body now, I can't be distracted!"

"Oh, that's not what I meant, that's what I mean, the higher-ups above have decided to let you complete this mission!"

Tie Sanqi said lightly.

Yan Eighteen's breathing suddenly became rapid, her eyelids blinked a few times, and then her eyes dimmed, and she could only say helplessly: "Yan Eighteen obey orders!"

"Very good, Yan Eighteen, this time the task will be handed over to you! The four of you must cooperate with Yan Eighteen to act together!"

"Yes!"

The other four masked men answered together.

"Tie Sanqi, why do you want the four of them to act with me?"

Yan Eighteen asked anxiously.

"Hehe, this is the arrangement above, the people above are worried that if you fail to act, you will be killed by the masters lurking around Zao Wou-ki! Therefore, the people above will send the four of them to cooperate with you in the action! You must not let the high-level above down!"

Tie Sanqi replied flatly.

"Yes!"

Yan Shibai's eyes flickered for a while, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she thought that it was very likely that the people above were suspicious of her.

She thought back carefully to what she had seen today, and at this moment she was still full of deep suspicions about Zao Wou-Ki.

Today she gave Zao Wou-Ki some hints, but she didn't expect that Zao Wou-Ki would kill Zhang Mazi in the end, which made her unexpected.

She was worried that the Feather Dynasty would send a master to lurk nearby, so she didn't go to check how Zhang Mazi died at that time.

When she thought about it, she felt that the reason why the upper echelons of the Feather Dynasty were suspicious of her was because only a very few people knew about this operation, and she was one of them who knew about this plan of action.

What's more, now she is still Zao Wou-ki's teacher in name.

It was not surprising that the higher-ups of the Feather Dynasty were suspicious of her.

She sighed inwardly, she knew that she would definitely be listed as a suspicious figure by the upper echelons of the Feather Dynasty this time.

She knew a lot of inside stories about the Feather Dynasty, and she knew that what the higher-ups above did to some suspicious characters was to let them complete some impossible tasks, and the final result was that they were killed by those impossible targets.

She knew very well in her heart that this time, the four killers around her were named to protect her, and their real purpose was to spy on her.

I'm afraid that those four killers will be tasked with killing her if she has an abnormality in her actions.

For this kind of practice of the Feather Dynasty, she has had her companions die because of it before, and she can imagine her fate, I am afraid that she will also be killed in the end like those who were killed by the high-ranking of the Feather Dynasty with various excuses in the past.

She had expected this kind of fate for a long time.

Maybe the people above have already doubted my loyalty, could it be that they deliberately used the method of assassinating Zao Wou-Ki to force me out of my original form?"

Yan Eighteen sighed, and after saying goodbye to them, she hurried back to her residence.

In her room, she took off her mask and revealed a beautiful face, she was Su Qingya, a famous beautiful teacher in Zhennan Academy.

......

The next day, Zao Wou-Ki continued to wander around the elixir shop in Zhennan County.

After a day of wandering, his face was dark.

"I can't get all the elixirs with my money now!"

He had already asked for 100,000 gold coins from Zhao Tianming before, and this time, Zhao Tianming gave him 100,000 gold coins as a reward for his success in becoming an official disciple of Zhennan Academy.

However, this time, the 100,000 gold coins he got in his hand had already been spent before he could cover the heat, and this was only for him to get a small part of the elixir.

He only now really understood the meaning of the phrase that Yizhen had told him before that resonance was the hardest part.

In order to complete the development of resonance, it is necessary to infuse nine different attribute powers into the cave heaven under the Yuan Sea, so that the cave sky can take shape.

"Looks like I'm going to have to get a lot of money!"

Zao Wou-Ki rubbed his temples, only to feel that the pressure on his body was very high.

In desperation, he could only look for some ways that would allow him to earn the elixir quickly.

After some investigation, he finally found a way, which was to go into the deep mountains and old forests to pick elixir.

It turned out that he found a place for collecting elixirs in a well-known elixir shop in the ancient country, and a signboard was erected inside the elixir shop for those adventurers to collect elixir.

Seeing the collection price of the elixir above, which cost tens of thousands of gold coins at every turn, Zao Wou-Ki was moved.

Of course, he knew in his heart that this so-called elixir acquisition was actually risking his life.

Some powerful people are very disdainful of this kind of search for elixir, which is not a simple search for elixir, but a very dangerous adventure.

Usually, there will be a lot of dangerous beasts guarding those elixirs.

Those alien beasts were so powerful that people with low cultivation didn't dare to approach it easily.

And the powerful martial artists don't look down on the little money that sells elixirs at all.

In this way, only those who are almost desperate will go to those dangerous places to look for elixir.

And those elixirs are not just planted somewhere, and they can be harvested later.

Generally speaking, a single elixir plant will often devour nearby aura, making it impossible for other nearby elixirs of the same type to grow.

If two of the same elixir are planted in one place at the same time, the result can only be that neither of them can grow smoothly in the end, and both elixirs will die together.

Moreover, the growth of many elixirs requires other alien beasts to assist it in completing it.

Some special elixirs also need the excrement of other elixirs, or the saliva of other alien beasts to help it grow smoothly, and these conditions are indispensable.

Therefore, to a large extent, elixir is hard to come by.

Zao Wou-Ki knew that he didn't have enough gold coins on his body, and it was impossible to help him buy a sufficient amount of elixir, and he felt that he should personally go to those places where elixirs grew to see if he could find those elixirs.

As long as he found the elixir, then he didn't need to spend any gold to buy that elixir.

After pondering for a while, Zao Wou-Ki felt that this method was the most appropriate.

Moreover, there are still two months before the official disciples of Zhennan Academy start school, and during these two months, he has nothing to do, and he feels that he needs to go outside to pick some elixirs.

Moreover, he felt that he could try to learn as much as possible from Yizhen during this time away.

In the past, Yi Zhen only taught him the Aolong spear technique and some basic cultivation methods, and did not teach him more actual combat experience, he felt that he would definitely encounter all kinds of unexpected things in the future, and he felt that he needed to go to the outside world to experience it.

"Master, I found out that you prescribed me a lot of elixirs, and I couldn't get a lot of money, I wanted to go to those places outside to pick those elixirs, do you think I'm wrong to think so?"

Zao Wou-Ki told Yi Zhen what he thought.

"No, you're right to think so, it's the best experience for you!"

Yi Zhen said to Zao Wou-Ki.

Listening to Yi Zhen's words, Zao Wou-Ki breathed a sigh of relief.

So, when Zao Wou-Ki returned home, he told Zhao Tianming that he was going to go outside with his master for a month or two to practice.

After Zhao Tianming heard this, he rewarded Zao Wou-Ki with 100,000 gold coins again.

"Wuji, you have to learn something from your master!"

In Zhao Tianming's heart, Zao Wou-ki's master must be a peerless master.

"Dad, it's so little! Give me as much as you can! I need some money very much! I'm afraid it will take two months to come back when I go out this time!"

Zao Wou-Ki said.

"You kid, I'll ask the butler to give you another 200,000 gold coins now, this is already my limit!"

Zhao Tianming said helplessly.

"If you can break through to the fusion realm, I will reward you with another 300,000 gold coins!" Zhao Tianming said generously.
