Chapter 279: Jing Cong's Situation
It's worthy of the ethereal Shangqing Pill that has added the mutated Purple Leaf Orchid!
After refining the Ethereal Shangqing Pill, Lin Yan felt that not only had his physical strength been improved, but also his martial arts realm had also risen significantly, from the first level of the foundation building realm to the second level, which was also the first level of his physical strength after breaking through to the foundation building realm, and he improved again in a short period of time.
Although he had only improved by a small realm, his strength and strength had increased significantly, especially the strength of his physical body, which was enough to make him resist the blows of ordinary Foundation Building Realm martial artists.
The huge benefits he gained also made him forget the pain when he swallowed the Ethereal Shangqing Pill!
Just when he was full of joy, suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and he immediately got up......
————
Originally, it was just an ordinary exchange meeting, but it was named "genius", but it did not arouse the interest of those really big people in Fengtian City, but suddenly it was reported that a long-lost elixir had been successfully refined, and the news instantly reached the ears of many people.
Especially a little-known young man named Lin Yan has attracted everyone's attention.
Lin Yan: Isn't he the name that won the first place at the Qingwu Festival not long ago, could he still do alchemy?
He was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, and he was already a genius who knew how to do alchemy at such a young age!
And it's also a legendary-level elixir, it seems to be called Shangqing Dan, and the function is very magical, it can improve the talent of the martial artist, and even more, it can help build the foundation!
But how could a mere young man succeed in refining this long-lost elixir, this is too bizarre......
Many well-informed big families are talking about it, but they are also incredulous and even suspicious about it!
But when Spear Qiu Jun heard the news, he immediately ran to Biyue Tower.
"Regardless of whether this news is true or not, this seat will arrest this kid, it seems that he really knows how to refine the pill, plus his spiritual fire, the Aoki Xuan Ling Pill is just around the corner!"
Spear Qiu Jun was already impatient, he had been waiting for the Aoki Xuanling Pill for too long, and he really wanted to catch Lin Yan immediately!
However, he would not have thought that his Aoki Xuan Lingzhi had been "given" to Liang Yuexuan by Helan Hong, if he knew the news, that feeling would be conceivable!
In addition, he didn't hear Mrs. Biyue announce that Lin Yan would become the guest of honor of Biyue Tower, and whoever dealt with Lin Yan was dealing with Biyue Tower, but even if he knew, I was afraid that it might not be able to stop his determination to arrest Lin Yan.
In his opinion, Biyue Lou is not easy to mess with, but he just "invited" Lin Yan as a guest, and there was no "malice". Biyue Lou has no reason to be an enemy of himself.
When he appeared in Biyue Tower, Biyue Tower was having a big feast.
Lady Biyue was quite surprised to learn that this elder of the outer sect of the Yunding Sect suddenly visited, because Biyue Lou had no contact with the Yunding Sect, and she could guess the other party's intention, it was nothing more than to Shangqing Dan, which surprised Lady Biyue at the same time, but also quite displeased.
However, she was not worried about anything, in the Wasteland, especially in Fengtian City, no one dared to openly provoke Biyue Tower, because everyone knew that Biyue Tower had a strong backer behind her, so she did not turn away Spear Hill Jun.
When Spear Qiu Jun entered Biyue Tower with the demeanor of a worldly master as always, Helan Hong's face suddenly changed in fright, he was very worried that the news that he had sent out Aoki Xuanlingzhi would be revealed, and he was nervous in his heart, and even planned to slip away in advance.
But fortunately, everyone's topic was on Shangqing Dan and Lin Yan, and other things were ignored for the time being, so no one mentioned that matter, and Mao Qiu Jun wouldn't know about it for a while.
Spear Qiu Jun naturally noticed Helan Hong, and found that his expression was wrong, his eyes were evasive, and he was puzzled in his heart, "Nephew Helan Xian, you look flustered and ugly, is something happening?"
"Oh, it's Elder Spear, the little nephew is polite!" Helan Hong knew that he couldn't avoid it, so he could only stubbornly step forward and salute, and then had to try to cover it up, "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that I had a conflict with someone and suffered a little loss!"
For a while, he couldn't think of a better reason, so he could only prevaricate casually.
"Who is so bold as to dare to insult you!Tell this seat that this seat will not spare this person!" Spear Qiu Jun didn't think much about it, and naturally thought that Helan Hong's answer was a normal situation.
Helan Hong had an idea, and immediately had an idea, "He is Lin Yan, I believe that Elder Spear still remembers him!"
"Oh, why is it him again?" Spear Qiu Jun was slightly startled and looked at Helan Hong scrutinically.
Helan Hong was stared at by Spear Qiu Jun like this, his heart kept drumming, and at the same time, cold sweat broke out on his forehead unconsciously, but he knew that he had no way out, so he had to turn his heart sideways, "Yes, because the little nephew has a lot of dislike for him, he has a grudge against the little nephew, so he finds fault everywhere...... And not long ago, he learned that his little nephew was carrying the Aoki Genoderma lucidum, so he designed to frame me and snatch the Aoki Genoderma lucidum......"
He added fuel and vinegar to the fact that he lost Aoki Xuanlingzhi as Lin Yan's ingenious robbery, and he can only explain it like this at present, hoping that Spear Qiu Jun will vent his anger on Lin Yan, and it is best to slap Lin Yan to death with one palm in a fit of anger!
To put it bluntly, he is planning to borrow a knife to kill people! As for whether he cares about Biyue Lou and Mrs. Biyue, that is not within his consideration.
However, he overestimated himself too much, and he underestimated the IQ of Spear Hill Jun too much.
Surprisingly, Spear Qiu Jun did not immediately get angry, but was unusually calm, and his eagle-like eyes stared at He Lanhong, "Did you lie?"
"Don't dare to deceive Elder Spear even if you kill your little nephew!" He Lanhong hurriedly replied, and the cold sweat on his face continued to fall like beans.
"Where is that Aoki Genoderma now?"
"It's already been given to Princess Tanyue by that kid!" Helanhong didn't dare to lie about this.
"Okay, I know!" Spear Qiu Jun still seemed calm, as if he didn't care much about this matter, but in fact, at this moment, he couldn't wait to slap Helan Hong to death, but he was afraid of Helan Yuechen.
In addition, he didn't think that it had reached the point of being out of control, because a mere princess of Qingliang Kingdom was not taken seriously by him, and it was easy to regain Aoki Xuanlingzhi, and he couldn't make a big fuss!
The conversation between the two was in a place far away from everyone, and the voice was not loud, which did not attract the attention of others, and everyone was still pushing cups and changing lamps, drinking and chatting, completely cheerful atmosphere.
And Lin Yan was completely surrounded by everyone at the moment, especially Ji Qianpian, Xia Qingshuang and Liang Yuexuan, all of whom kept asking this and that beside him, and the questions were mainly focused on the process of refining Shangqing Dan, which made Lin Yan annoyed, but he also had to try his best to make a reasonable explanation......
————
At the same time, in a closed courtyard, Jing Cong was thundering, "You can't do this to me, I'm a member of the Alchemist Alliance, you will regret doing this!"
In order to deliberately increase deterrence, he described himself as a member of the Alchemist Alliance, rather than a sub-alliance.
"Young Master Jing, no matter how much you shout, it won't help, stay honest, and when the banquet is over, someone will naturally come back to pick you up. One of the guards in charge of Jing Cong said coldly with a disdainful expression.
"What kind of banquet is it?" Jing Cong was puzzled.
"It has nothing to do with you for any banquet, but we have also prepared a 'sumptuous feast' for you, are you interested in tasting it?" the guard looked at Jing Cong playfully, his eyes full of vicious light.
"Hmph, aren't you afraid of the retaliation of my Alchemist Alliance? Even if Lady Biyue is not worried, how much anger can you bear?" Jing Cong also threatened the other party without showing weakness, he naturally understood that a "sumptuous meal" was not a good thing, and he would not be stupid.
"You really don't understand your current situation, you still dare to threaten us, you know, Biyue Lou is not afraid of the Alchemist Alliance, besides, you don't belong to the Alchemist Alliance, it's just a mere Qingliang National Alliance, and you're not even a fart in the eyes of Madame!"
The guards are not fuel-efficient lamps, how can they be easily threatened by Jing Cong, "And you have committed a big crime, just wait for it to be sent down honestly!"
"I was wronged, I didn't do anything!" Jing Cong knew that he must not admit his guilt, otherwise he would really be in great trouble.
Of course, he also knew that Mrs. Biyue shouldn't really treat herself, otherwise she wouldn't lock herself up in such a quiet and chic courtyard, and she would definitely wait for her master to come and lose her back, but the price she paid would definitely be expensive.
Thinking of his master and the price he paid, Jing Cong's scalp was numb, even if he could get out of the way, his master would definitely not spare himself easily, and all kinds of punishments would follow, which he was unwilling to bear.
But at this moment, suddenly, a breeze blew, and neither of the two sides who were arguing realized anything, still threatening and accusing each other, but after a while, both sides suddenly died down, and then they heard two "poofs", and Jing Cong and the guards fell to the ground......
I don't know how long it took, Jing Cong suddenly felt cold, and then suddenly opened his eyes.
Then he found that his hair, face, and body were wet, and he realized that he had been woken up by a basin of cold water, and the surrounding scenery remained unchanged, and he was still in the original courtyard.
As for the guard, he lay quietly on the ground, unconscious.
However, he also saw a figure, a strange middle-aged man, not amazing, and his clothes were very ordinary, not like a rich and noble person.
At this time, the strange man looked at Jing Cong quietly and smiled, "Young Master Jing Cong, are you very confused?"
"Who are you?" Jing Cong immediately tensed up, and was on full alert, beware of the sudden danger. Because he felt that the strange middle-aged man in front of him gave him a strong danger.
"Don't be nervous!" The middle-aged man saw Jing Cong's uneasy expression and smiled faintly, "It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is whether you understand your situation or not." ”
"What do you mean?" Jing Cong still stared at the other party vigilantly, not daring to relax at all, and he didn't know what the other party wanted.
"You know what kind of place this is, right?" the middle-aged man turned around and looked around, "This is the safest place in Biyue Tower, and it is heavily guarded, and no outsider can approach half a step." But in other words, the safest place is also the most dangerous place, and you don't have any chance of getting out of here. ”
"You're not just here to tell me, are you?" Jing Cong felt a pang in his heart.
He felt that the middle-aged man had not lied to himself, and at the same time, he felt that his situation was probably much worse than he imagined, but he also understood one thing, that is, the other party must have ulterior secret intentions, and it was closely related to him.
"Of course, it seems that you are not stupid!" The middle-aged man noticed that Jing Cong's face was solemn and preoccupied, and he knew that he was already aware of the current crisis, "As long as you can follow my orders, you will be able to leave safely." ”
"Then what are your conditions, or rather, what price do I have to pay?" Jing Cong didn't want to talk nonsense, he simply went straight to the point, he knew that the other party must have a plan.
"Very good, I just like smart people like you!" The middle-aged man's tone was a little playful, but also a little appreciative, "I don't have any interest in you, and I don't want any benefits from you, I just want you to be obedient!"
As he spoke, a small red porcelain vase appeared in his hand, and then threw it to Jing Cong.
"Take this thing!"
"What is this?" Jing Cong was stunned for a moment, instinctively feeling that there would be nothing good in this small red porcelain vase, and he didn't want to catch it, but he also instinctively caught it, and at the same time, he was even more nervous in his heart.
"Just look at it!"
Jing Cong hesitated slightly, but decided to check it out for himself.
He first looked at the other party, then carefully opened the small porcelain bottle, and found that it contained a yellow powder, then he sniffed it, and found that there was no taste, and then poured out a little more in the palm of his hand, and carefully observed, after a while, he had already seen the clue, "This is actually some kind of drug!"
"He is worthy of being a genius who is proficient in alchemy, and he really deserves his name!" the middle-aged man smiled appreciatively.
"What exactly do you want me to do?" Jing Cong was not in the mood to listen to the other party's compliments now, and he didn't need such compliments now.
"It's very simple, you can quietly put this thing into Miss Mu and Miss Xia's tea. The middle-aged man finally said his purpose.
"It's that simple?" Jing Cong frowned slightly, realizing at this moment that he had fallen into the trap of a conspiracy.
"Yes, it's really simple!" the middle-aged man smiled very gently, but it was also full of conspiracy.
"Then why did you choose me, and wouldn't it be easier for you to do it yourself?" Jing Cong also tried to test the other party.
"Hehe......" The middle-aged man smiled, "Although you are not wrong to say this, it will expose my identity, and it is up to you to do it, but it is logical and will not cause me trouble, as for the aftermath, I will send someone to inform the alchemist alliance, and your master will come to pick you up soon, and you will not have any trouble." ”
"According to you, even if I don't do anything, I can still walk away in peace. "Jing Cong has not lost his ability to think.
The middle-aged man's face became gloomy, and his tone was extremely cold, "You have to think clearly, if you don't do what I tell you, you won't have a chance to regret it!"
"I'd also love to know how you gave me no chance of regrets. Jing Cong is willing to give in easily, he has already thought clearly, as long as he stays here honestly, he can be picked up sooner or later, and there is no need for him to take risks.
