While Ye Ling was in seclusion at the Guiyun Inn in the capital of the Wu Kingdom, in addition to practicing spells, he was also refining elixirs day after day.
Every few days, Yu Ming and Xiao Tao would bring various spiritual herbs they collected to Ye Ling.
In addition to the 1,300 kinds of herbs managed by Huixing Pavilion, there were also spiritual herbs from Capital City and Nine Immortal Cities, all of which were purchased on their behalf, and finally ended up in Ye Ling's hands.
In order to deceive others and avoid suspicion, Ye Ling specially selected dozens of cheap spiritual herbs and ordered them to plunder them and pile them up in mountains, claiming that they were used to make elixirs.
As a result, everyone in Huixing Pavilion has been busy with this for a long time. They all thought that Ye Ling was not only keen on collecting various spiritual herbs and identifying medicinal properties, but was also very effective in developing new elixirs. He selected medicinal materials from them and invested a lot in refining them, mostly for this purpose. Refining a new elixir.
On this day, Ye Ling was concentrating on refining elixirs when he suddenly heard someone touching the dark formation outside the door. The sixth-order Ice Butterfly King and Ice Rock Beast all raised their vigilance and exuded powerful pressure.
Ye Ling listened carefully and heard the familiar sound of jingling rings, and then Hongtang's voice came:
"Master! It's me."
Ye Ling waved his robe sleeves, put away the top-grade spiritual grass in front of him, and replaced it with ordinary spiritual grass piled up like a hill. Then he removed the prohibition and pebble formation plate at the head of the door.
Hongtang held a storage bag in both hands and said with a smile: "In recent days, I have collected several pieces of top-grade fifth-level equipment for my master, including two sets of robes. Please take a look, master!"
Ye Ling scanned it with his consciousness, nodded, and then asked: "Well, very good! How is the management of Huixing Pavilion recently? Who among Cui Duo and others is disobedient?"
Hongtang said leisurely: "Master, don't worry, they are all very honest! I took the magic weapon from the pavilion, and no one dared to say no. Haha, the master doesn't know yet, Qingwan is back! She didn't have time to meet the master, He only gave me a transmission note, and then he went to do things in a hurry. I think he will come back to report later today."
Ye Ling was slightly startled and said curiously: "I ordered her to go to Tiandan City and try to find Lu Binglan. If she didn't see me when she came back, where did she go?"
Hongtang hurriedly said: "Qingwan said briefly in the transmission notes. She only said that she had found out a lot of unfavorable news about her master in Tiandan City. She had just returned to the capital of Wu Kingdom and heard that Elder Yuanying from the Dixuan Immortal Sect When the ancestor returned, he hurried to the Zhou Cultivation Family to find out the news."
"Ancestor of the Dixuan Immortal Sect?" Ye Ling's heart skipped a beat and he asked in shock, "Could it be that the ancestor of the Dixuan Immortal Sect is also from the Zhou family's great cultivating immortality family?"
"Of course it is! The master has been retreating in Guiyun Inn. It's not surprising if he didn't know that the Yuan Ying ancestor of the Dixuan Immortal Sect is the founder of the Zhou Cultivation Family, Zhou Tong'an!"
Hongtang said casually, but Ye Ling was silent for a long time, and he sighed: "That's it! No wonder the Zhou family can be ranked among the great immortal cultivating families in the world of Wu Kingdom. There must be Yuan among them. The old monster Ying is in charge, but I didn’t expect it to be the ancestor of the Dixuan Immortal Sect, which is beyond my expectation.”
Hongtang didn't know why her master was sighing. When she was about to stand up and say goodbye, she saw her master standing up, his whole body transformed like a sharp sword, and he exuded an aura of resoluteness and determination from top to bottom.
"Master, what are you doing?" Hongtang asked in confusion.
Ye Ling said solemnly: "Let's go! Lead me to the Zhou Cultivation Clan. I want to find out the news myself!"
Hongtang didn't know what was going on, let alone the feud between her master and the Zhou Immortal Cultivation Family. She just obeyed her master's instructions in everything, and immediately nodded and agreed.
Ye Ling left the Ice Rock Beast at Guiyun Inn, and Hongtang left Dongmo Lane and rushed to the Zhou Family Courtyard in the northwest of the city.
When the two came to the west of the city, they saw that the market was bustling with activity. Shops of all sizes had set up incense burners in front of their stores. Green smoke was floating in the air. On both sides of the avenue, there were crowds of people crowded around and watching. .
Hongtang said excitedly: "Ha! There are so many people. What are you doing? They are setting up incense burners and sprinkling spiritual water on the ground. Could it be that they are welcoming the legendary Lord of the City?"
Unexpectedly, her words would cause the nearby monks to roll their eyes: "The big city lord never shows off, so how can he have such a grand display? Hehe, this is the return of the ancestor of the Zhou family. I am waiting for the monks in the west of the city, and every household must pay attention to it." Welcome!"
Hongtang was stunned for a moment, and Ye Ling sneered. Through the connection of the soul mark, he sensed Qingwan's location and summoned her immediately.
After a cup of tea, Qingwan hurried over. When she saw her master, she seemed to have a thousand words to say.
But there were so many monks in the public hall, Qingwan could only send a message to Ye Ling's spiritual consciousness with a worried look on her face: "Master's visit in person this time is very dangerous!"
Ye Ling said calmly: "It doesn't matter! The ancestor of the Zhou family didn't recognize me. Even though the two old thieves Zhou Yuan and Zhou Xingwu drew pictures and presented my portrait to the ancestor of his family, they recognized me in the capital of the Wu Kingdom. What can you do to me?"
Qing Wan said silently: "The master is right. The ancestor of the Zhou family will arrive at noon. Master, just wait here and you will definitely see this old guy."
Ye Ling nodded, and then sent her spiritual voice transmission, asking: "You went to Tiandan City, did you see Lu Binglan?"
"I saw it! I managed to contact her with great difficulty. When I took out the crystal rainbow bow, Miss Lu believed me and informed me of the current situation of Tiandan Immortal Sect, as well as many things that are unfavorable to the master."
The worry on Qingwan's face became even stronger, and she continued: "The two old guys Zhou Yuan and Zhou Xingwu colluded with their clansmen in the Chixiao Immortal Sect to slander the master's master, Elder Liu Juntang, and killed Zhou Mingde and Liu, the third son of the Zhou family. Young Master Zhou Minghui."
