Chapter 216: To the Wilderness
Zhao Zhen's face changed, and he hurriedly pushed the door in, but the next scene he saw made Zhao Zhen a little crying and laughing, only to see Zi Yanran's jade body**, looking at a mouse under his feet with a frightened face, and after finding that Zhao Zhen came in, he screamed again and hurriedly hid in the quilt.
Zhao Zhen's face was full of innocence, Zi Yanran had already been in front of Zhao Zhen just now, and it was too late to hide in the quilt now. However, as a monk, he is still afraid of mice, but it makes Zhao Zhen a little speechless, maybe most women subconsciously have the nature of being afraid of mice, even if they are much stronger than mice, it is still difficult to change this habit, and now Zhao Zhen can only think like this.
After a farce just now, Zi Yanran's face was still flushed after she got dressed and came out, she glanced at Zhao Zhen and hurriedly lowered her head, Zhao Zhen was helpless, so she had to take Zi Yanran's hand and drag her away, it has been a few days since she left the sect, and now it is time for Zhao Zhen to return to the sect.
After hurriedly bidding farewell to their parents on both sides, Zhao Zhen and Zi Yanran left a lot of elixirs and strengthened the protective formation of the villa before leaving with confidence. The location of the villa itself is extremely remote, and it is not a place with strong aura, and with the protection of various formations arranged by Zhao Zhen, it will definitely not be disturbed by the outside world.
After leaving the villa, Zhao Zhen and Zi Yanran rushed all the way to the direction of the sect, however, on the way, they encountered several waves of interrogation and questioning by the disciples of Jiuxiaomen, and Zhao Zhen did not inquire about the specific details, but it should be related to the killing of Qin Shiyan and Liu Wuye.
Zhao Zhen's approach to dealing with the interrogation of the disciples of the Jiuxiao Sect was very wise, not long after Zhao Zhen and Zi Yanran's figures were far away, a figure wearing the clothes of the elders of the Jiuxiao Sect appeared in the place where Zhao Zhen had just passed, looking at those disciples of the Jiuxiao Sect interrogating the passing monks, he was not lazy, he frowned a little suspiciously, and after staying for a long time, the figure disappeared in the air in a flash.
Zhao Zhen didn't know that he had escaped because of a momentary decision, and after returning to the Purple Thunder Sect, he began to be busy with the affairs of the sect. Since the Purple Thunder Sect formed an alliance with the Water Condensation Palace, there would often be some transactions on pills and items, and after several harmonious and pleasant cooperation, the Purple Sect Master and the Water Palace Lord decided to cooperate to establish a business, mainly to buy and sell pills and some magic weapons such as Fu Lu.
Now, all the high-level leaders of the Purple Thunder Sect have passed the resolution, but the Purple Sect Master still wants to hear Zhao Zhen's opinion, so he has not yet implemented this matter for the time being. Now, when Zhao Zhen returned to the sect, the Purple Sect Master was overjoyed and immediately gathered all the high-level leaders to hold a meeting.
Regarding the sect's desire to cooperate with the Water Ning Palace to establish a business name, Zhao Zhen naturally had no objection, and even agreed very much. The Purple Thunder Sect is weak, and deepening the cooperative relationship with the Water Condensation Palace is also a way to strengthen the sect. However, the Purple Thunder Sect does not have a deep heritage, and the reserves of the elixir magic weapon are not much, and there are even fewer that can be sold in the business, and these problems have undoubtedly become a problem that plagues the Purple Sect Master.
Now, with Zhao Zhen, a fourth-grade alchemist, in favor of cooperating in opening a business, although the Purple Sect Master no longer worries about high-grade pills, the reserves of low-grade pills are still scarce, if a large number of businesses are opened to buy and sell, I am afraid that the supply will be in short supply, although Zhao Zhen can refine low-grade pills in batches, but the Purple Sect Master does not want to miss Zhao Zhen's cultivation because of the business name.
The sect master's concerns were obviously well thought out, although the sect urgently needed to develop and strengthen its strength, it must not be at the expense of the cultivation time of the sect's talents. Zhao Zhen is the only fourth-grade alchemist in the Purple Thunder Sect so far, and his cultivation speed and strength are even more outstanding. The Purple Sect Master knew the importance of Zhao Zhen to the sect, and compared to the benefits of opening a business, the Purple Sect Master would rather fulfill Zhao Zhen, because the Purple Thunder Sect could not have a business name, but it could not lack Zhao Zhen.
The worried Purple Sect Master wanted to see if Zhao Zhen had a solution, and if he really couldn't do it, he could only give up the idea of opening a business, but Zhao Zhen was not worried about this. Refining high-grade pills Zhao Zhen can do it himself, while low-grade pills, Zhao Zhen plans to let Mo Yu try his skills.
In the Purple Thunder Sect, refining low-grade pills already has the support of the alchemist of the medicine hall, and the output should be more than enough for the sect to use for its own use, and now Mo Yu has stayed in the stage of a second-grade alchemist for a long time, and his alchemy techniques are becoming more and more sophisticated, and becoming a third-grade alchemist is just around the corner, if he can let Mo Yu do alchemy for the firm, it should be able to greatly benefit the increase in the level of alchemy.
Zhao Zhen's decision, the Purple Sect Master greatly agreed, and planned to let Zhao Zhen go to the Water Condensation Palace to implement the plan to open a business together. In this regard, Zhao Zhen himself agreed very much, so he naturally had no objections, and soon set off to the Water Condensation Palace. As soon as he arrived at the Water Condensation Palace, Zhao Zhen did not receive much hindrance and saw Shui Bining, the palace master of the Water Condensation Palace. Because of the alliance between the Purple Thunder Sect and the Water Condensation Palace, the female disciples on duty in the Water Condensation Palace knew that Zhao Zhen was a monk of the Purple Thunder Sect, and they were very polite to Zhao Zhen.
After seeing Shui Bining, the palace master of the Shui Ning Palace, Zhao Zhen immediately expressed to Shui Bining the intention of the Purple Thunder Sect to cooperate with the Shui Ning Palace to open a business name, however, Shui Bining seemed to have something on her mind, and she was always absent-minded when she heard Zhao Zhen speak, and even after Zhao Zhen finished speaking, Shui Bining was still a little distracted, until Zhao Zhen reminded him of a somewhat embarrassing dry cough, and Shui Bining came back to his senses.
"I'm sorry, I'm distracted!" With a somewhat apologetic wry smile, Shui Bining looked preoccupied, and didn't seem to listen seriously to what Zhao Zhen said: "You just said that the Purple Thunder Sect is willing to cooperate with the Shui Ning Palace to open a business?"
After hearing Shui Bining's words, Zhao Zhen immediately nodded, and then elaborated on the cooperation intention of the Purple Sect Master, which roughly means that in the matter of cooperating to open a business, the Purple Thunder Sect can provide pills for the business, and the Water Ning Palace will provide the magic weapon Fu Lu, and then the two parties will jointly send someone to operate and manage the business.
The predecessor of the Water Condensation Palace was separated from the Holy Water Palace, a major sect of the Daomen, so there must be some magic weapons and runes that can be used. For the cooperation request of the Purple Thunder Sect, Shui Bining readily agreed without much consideration, although the high-level magic weapon is very important to the Shui Ning Palace, but the Water Condensation Palace now lacks masters, and some special magic weapons with restrictions cannot be used at all, if you can exchange these temporarily unusable magic weapons for something more valuable, it is also a good thing.
Seeing that Shui Bining agreed to cooperate with the Purple Thunder Sect to open a business, Zhao Zhen finally let go of the burden in his heart, and after some conversation, Zhao Zhen remembered Shui Bining's abnormality before, and couldn't help but ask casually: "Does the Water Palace Lord have something on his mind?"
Zhao Zhen's words made Shui Bining Dai's brows frown slightly, and then his face was different, and he kept pacing back and forth in the main hall, sometimes shaking his head and sometimes sighing, I don't know how long it took, Shui Bining said in a low voice: "I sent Li Ruoshui to the Barbarian Demon Domain to carry out the sect mission, and now something may have happened!"
Shui Bining is not good at telling Zhao Zhen about the internal secrets of the Water Condensation Palace, although the Purple Thunder Sect and the Water Condensation Palace are allied, but after all, they are not the same sect, and some major secrets still have to be kept. And Zhao Zhen didn't care about this, hearing the news of Li Ruoshui's accident, Zhao Zhen stood up and hurriedly asked, "What did the Water Palace Lord say this?"
staring at Zhao Zhen, Shui Bining spoke after a while: "Li Ruoshui went to the Savage Demon Domain to carry out a mission, and every three days he will definitely release a signal through a special magic weapon to inform me of his whereabouts, and I have not received a signal for five days recently, I guess Li Ruoshui is afraid that something has happened!"
Hearing Shui Bining's words, Zhao Zhen's face was slightly gloomy, the Barbarian Demon Domain is a place occupied by the Wu Clan and the Demon Clan, in this area, there are not only terrifying and terrifying supreme demon beasts, but also strange and unpredictable wizards of various races, because of the differences between the races of the Wu Clan, so bloody conflicts often break out between the various races of the Wu Clan, making this place dangerous and unpredictable.
Moreover, the environment here is extremely harsh, there are a lot of demon beasts and poisons, and there are often terrifying demon beasts with terrifying strength, and even the strongest existence that is not inferior to the masters of the human Mahayana period is also numerous, even if it is the Dao Gate and the Demon Gate, they will not invade this place at will, which shows that the danger is extraordinary. Li Ruoshui was only in his infancy, and entering the Barbarian Demon Domain was probably more than lucky, and Zhao Zhen couldn't help but be a little worried at the moment.
After the specific matters of the Purple Thunder Sect and the Water Condensation Palace cooperating to open a business were negotiated, Zhao Zhen quickly left the Water Condensing Palace, and hurried back to the Purple Thunder Sect to report to the Purple Sect Master the specific details of the Water Condensation Palace's cooperation in opening a business name, I believe that with the Purple Sect Master's experience in the sect for many years, it must be more than enough to deal with these matters.
After listening to Zhao Zhen's report, the Purple Sect Master was overjoyed, and being able to cooperate with the Water Condensation Palace to open a business would definitely bring great benefits to the Purple Thunder Sect, and if these benefits were used to supply the cultivation resources of the sect's cultivators, they would be able to strengthen the strength of the sect invisibly. Therefore, with such benefits, it was undoubtedly good news for the Purple Sect Master, who had worked hard to run the Purple Thunder Sect for many years, and soon, the Purple Sect Master waved his hand and ordered his disciples to get busy and prepare the materials needed to open a business.
After Zhao Zhen finished his report, he informed the sect master that he was leaving the sect for a while and planned to go to the Savage Demon Domain. In this regard, the Purple Sect Master was very surprised, and hurriedly asked, "You want to go to the Savage Demon Domain?"
Regarding the Purple Sect Master's inquiry, Zhao Zhen didn't have any need to hide it, and said bluntly: "A friend of mine may have encountered trouble in the Savage Demon Domain, so I plan to leave immediately!"
The Purple Sect Master knew that Zhao Zhen valued love and righteousness, so when he heard that Zhao Zhen was going to the Wild Demon Domain because his friend was in trouble, he didn't stop him, but just patted Zhao Zhen on the shoulder with a warm face: "You take care, no matter how much wind and rain you encounter outside, remember that the sect will always support you!"
Hearing the words of the Purple Sect Master, Zhao Zhen's lips moved, but he wanted to stop talking, to be able to get such support from the Purple Sect Master and the entire sect, no matter how much he said, it was not enough to express the gratitude in Zhao Zhen's heart, so Zhao Zhen did not speak, but was silent for a moment before striding towards the outside of the main hall.
Walking out of the main hall, Zhao Zhen returned to the Cracked Thunder Courtyard, ready to pack some items and go to the Savage Demon Domain, but at this moment, several figures appeared outside Zhao Zhen's room, and as soon as Zhao Zhen opened the door, he looked at a few people with stunned expressions.
Standing outside Zhao Zhenmen's door were Zi Yanran, Luo Bai, Gongsun Yan and Mo Yu, at this moment, several people had different expressions, Zi Yanran's face was slightly red, Luo Bai's eyes were dodgy, Gongsun Yan's puffing apricot eyes were wide open, and Mo Yu was hiding behind the three of them with a smile. Seeing Zhao Zhen come out, Gongsun Yan couldn't wait for Zhao Zhen to speak, and took the lead in asking: "Senior brother, if you want to go to the Wild Demon Domain and don't tell us, do you want to leave us now, and then pack up and sneak away?"
After hearing Gongsun Yan's words, Zhao Zhen wanted to cry without tears, although Zhao Zhen planned to go to the Wild Demon Domain without telling a few people, but because he was afraid that a few people would worry, he did not mean to leave. And now with Gongsun Yan's wording, Zhao Zhen is described as a general diskoning with his six relatives, and at this moment Zhao Zhen is really powerless to refute, and he can't wash it when he jumps into the pit.
Looking around at a few people, Zhao Zhen found Mo Yu who was hiding behind and snickering, and immediately guessed that it might be that he was going to the Wild Demon Domain to let Mo Yu know, and Mo Yu told Zi Yanran, Luo Bai and Gongsun Yan the news. After all, the Purple Thunder Sect wants to cooperate with the Water Condensation Palace to open a business, and the alchemy of the business requires Mo Yu's efforts, and it must have been when the sect summoned Mo Yu just now, Mo Yu learned from the sect master.
Sure enough, things were just as Zhao Zhen guessed, and I saw Gongsun Yan hugging Mo Yu a little proudly, and said indignantly to Zhao Zhen: "Fortunately, Mo Yu told us that you have to leave, otherwise you will really let you run away, this time I will go together no matter what, by the way, there are also Senior Sister Luo Bai and Sister Yanran!"
Gongsun Yan's tone of speech, as if Zhao Zhen owed a lot of debts and wanted to run away, made Zhao Zhen smile bitterly. Listening to Gongsun Yan's words, Zhao Zhen nodded like pounding garlic, and it wasn't until Gongsun Yan finished saying that Zhao Zhen took a deep breath. After a while, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly pulled Mo Yu aside, took out a Qiankun bag from his cuff and handed it to Mo Yu: "This Qiankun bag was given to the master by you at the beginning, before the master took a water orchid from the Qiankun bag, and now many thousand-year-old elixirs have been put into it, and the sect will cooperate with the Water Condensation Palace to open a business in the near future, I am afraid that you will need to use it to refine the elixir, and these elixirs will be handed over to you for use!"
When Mo Yu worshipped Zhao Zhen as a teacher, he gave Zhao Zhen a Qiankun bag, which contained a lot of things as a worship ceremony, Zhao Zhen had the poison of the red-eyed demon bat in his body when he was walking in the demon gate, and he used a water orchid, but the other items in the Qiankun bag were not carefully checked. Now that the sect needs Mo Yu's alchemy, Zhao Zhen put some thousand-year-old elixir into it, and then transferred it to Mo Yu, presumably during the time he left the sect, the thousand-year-old elixir Mo Yu in the Qiankun bag should be useful.
"This ...... I'm afraid it's not good to get the things that were sent out and get them back!" Mo Yu looked at Zhao Zhen with some embarrassment, what was in the Qiankun bag Mo Yu was naturally clear, but it contained the ancient books that opened one of the seals of the Tongtian Seal! At this moment, seeing Zhao Zhen send the Qiankun bag back, Mo Yu didn't know what to do for a while, and I didn't know if Zhao Zhen had found the classical books in the Qiankun bag, this secret was related to the entire Mo family, and Mo Yu was not good to mention it in front of anyone except Zhao Zhen, in the end, Mo Yu slowly stretched out his hand and took the Qiankun bag handed by Zhao Zhen.
"Okay, in addition, the master will also teach you a set of mental methods, during the time that the master is away, you must practice diligently!" Seeing Mo Yu take the Qiankun bag, Zhao Zhen nodded with satisfaction, and then spoke again: "This set of mental methods is called Concentration and Meditation Technique, which can calm the mind and stabilize the mind, and it will be of great benefit to use it when the mind is unstable in the future!"
The Meditation Technique is a set of mental methods that Zhao Zhen practiced in his previous life, and it is infinitely wonderful to use when he is in an unstable mood, and it is also used when Zhao Zhen cultivates the bloodthirsty soul refining technique in this life and causes his mood to be unstable. Now, Zhao Zhen has taught this set of mental methods to Mo Yu, hoping that Mo Yu can seriously cultivate and integrate it. Zhao Zhen knew that Mo Yu was full of hatred, although he was still very cheerful on the surface, but in fact, his heart had already been deeply rooted in the darkness, and he would inevitably be emotional and unstable when facing the enemy in the future.
There are only a few formulas in the heart method, and it didn't take Zhao Zhen too much time to teach it to Mo Yu, plus Mo Yu was already talented, so he quickly mastered the essentials of cultivation. Subsequently, Zhao Zhen instructed Mo Yu about some things about the sect, and then he turned around and said to Zi Yanran, Luo Bai and Gongsun Yan: "Okay, the Barbarian Demon Domain is unpredictable, if you insist on going, I won't stop you, but everything along the way must listen to me!"
Regarding Zhao Zhen's words, Zi Yanran and Luo Bai both nodded silently, but Gongsun Yan pursed his lips a little displeased, and said disapprehantly: "I know, I will bully my junior sister, I have rarely left in the sect all these years, and I am about to suffocate to death!"
