In Yang Zhen's eyes, Lu Youan's level of alchemy was average. However, as a monk who has been immersed in alchemy for many years, the former deacon of Huju Island Alchemy Workshop is well aware of some of the basic properties of spiritual grass and spiritual fruit.
The two jujubes that Xiao Yezi took out at that time were very fresh. They had never been picked from the tree for more than two days!
Therefore, they cannot be brought by Yang from his hometown in advance!
Either it’s produced locally on Huju Island, or it’s—
Lu You'an thought about it and thought of another possibility.
He jumped up from the bed again, rummaged around on the desk, and took out an ancient book that looked to be quite old.
"Memories of Immortality"!
This is an ancient book he borrowed from Han Rui's mansion through Han Qingzhi. @*~~It is said to be an ancestor of the Han family who recorded some past events in the world of immortality at that time.
For him, who has lived in a corner like Huju Island for hundreds of years, such books make him feel extremely fresh.
There are records in it that there was once a great devil who searched for treasures all over the world and created a small world.
The name of the devil was not left in the book, and at the end of the story, the author sighed:
"From now on, the spiritual essence of the Zhenyu world is exhausted, and the small world will never be restored!"
What this sentence means is that the devil has collected all the genius treasures in the Zhenyu Realm, and it is impossible for the Zhenyu Realm to produce such rare treasures as Little World.
If it were Han Rui Guzheng, or even some Zifu Jindan monks, they would have the same emotion when they saw this sentence.
The higher your cultivation level, the broader your knowledge, and the better you can understand the meaning of that sentence. Treasures such as the small world cannot be refined by cultivation level.
Not only are some materials missing, but the Zhenyu world is suppressed by the heaven and earth magic circle, and the rules are incomplete, making it impossible to breed a new small world.
Therefore, they have never considered this aspect.
However, Lu Youan had no knowledge of any of this. He just relied on his intuition and touched the truth of the matter.
There should be a small world in Yang Zhen!
Otherwise, how could the Dongxiao Demon Girl appear so promptly after killing Commander Hu that day? Where was she hiding before? How can Yang Zhen contact her?
Where does the endless supply of fresh jujubes come from?
How could the teleportation of tens of thousands of people, especially so many mortals, be done silently?
All these questions have been perfectly explained with the answer of Small World.
Lu Youan couldn't help but tremble all over!
"Young surnamed Yang, I thought you were so capable. Don't you just carry your little world with you and have countless helpers around you?"
"I'm going to ruin your good deeds today! Haha!"
"Go and report to Patriarch Han Rui immediately." He made a decision immediately.
Han Qingzhi's pretty face flashed before his eyes, and soon, he shook his head.
This little girl is extremely favored by the ancestor. If she is invited to join him, I am afraid that all the credit will be attributed to her in the end, and it will be nothing to do with him.
If a man does not serve himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth!
…
"You want to meet the ancestor?"
Outside Han Mansion, the middle-aged woman guarding the door asked curiously.
"This disciple has some questions about alchemy and wants to ask the ancestor for advice." Lu You'an said respectfully.
"It's so late. If you have any questions about alchemy, come back tomorrow!" The woman waved her hand impatiently.
Lu Youan froze on the spot.
Han Rui was quite kind to his talented alchemy disciples, and had a history of personally receiving door-to-door consultations. However, he did not notice that the time chosen today was really a bit late.
However, how could he wait until tomorrow to talk about such an important discovery?
"Well, this disciple actually found some clues about Master Huzan and wants to report it to the Patriarch." He had to reveal part of his purpose.
"What?" The woman's expression changed: "Okay, just wait."
Not long after, the sound of rapid footsteps came closer and closer, and a young woman walked out.
"I know you, your name is Lu You'an, right?" said the snake demon woman with a long neck and a tapered chin.
.
"I've seen Miss Xiaoqing." Lu Youan hurriedly handed over his hand.
The snake demon in front of me is unknown how old she is, but she likes to be called "girl". Just looking at her appearance, with her smooth face and rosy cheeks, she is indeed no different from a young woman.
"Where is Huzan?" Xiaoqing asked eagerly.
"This..." Lu You'an hesitated for a moment, then plucked up the courage and said, "Disciple asks to see the Patriarch."
"You——" Xiao Qing was furious and was about to explode. The breath of the fourth-level demon king was so overwhelming that Lu Youan almost lost his breath.
"You come with me!" The snake demon finally suppressed his anger and turned around and left angrily.
Lu Youan wiped the sweat from his forehead and followed in hastily.
…
After receiving the news, Zhenjun Hanrui received the two of them in the study.
"I heard that you have the whereabouts of Huzan?" The Nascent Soul Lord, dressed in plain white uniforms, asked calmly with a calm face.
Lu Youan looked at the snake demon beside him and hesitated to answer.
Han Rui looked a little stunned and waved her hand: "Xiaoqing, you go down first."
"Yes." The snake demon leaned over and replied, turned around and glared at Lu You'an fiercely, then turned and left.
"Okay, now that there is no one else, tell me everything you know."
"Yes," Lu You'an no longer hesitated, and immediately said loudly: "Ancestor, there is a small world in the Dongxiao Demon Girl! Master Huzan, she must have been defeated by them and was locked up in the small world by them!"
"What did you say? Small world?" Han Rui sneered: "Lu You'an, do you know what small world is? How could a thief whose cultivation base is not as good as Zifu have such a thing in her body?"
"Ancestor, if it weren't for Little World, how would you explain Master Huzan's disappearance? He has been with you for so many years and has always been loyal to you and will never betray you!"
These words made Han Rui slightly moved.
Deep down, she didn't believe Huzan would do that, but she couldn't find a more reasonable explanation.
"Keep telling what you know!" she ordered.
Lu You'an calmed down and began to talk about everything from his acquaintance with Yang Zhen, to the great changes in Huju Island, and later how he hooked up with Master Yu to hunt down Yang Zhen, etc., everything was detailed and detailed.
During this period, Han Rui had been listening to him quietly without interrupting. She just raised her eyebrows thoughtfully when she heard the story about the two spiritual dates.
"Old Ancestor, if the disciple's prediction is correct, the Dongxiao Demon Girl, including the one named Yang Zhen, is likely to take the Little World and mingle among the prisoners in advance. When the big cauldron is closed, the Little World will release all the people who have gathered over the years. The traitor caught Master Huzan off guard, and then took all the prisoners away..."
Lu Youan told all his speculations.
Han Rui was silent for a long time, shook his head and frowned: "There is still something wrong, Hu Zan, and Shi Qiang, both of them are very good, plus Zi Dou and Gu Zheng, even if they don't The enemy will not be defeated so quickly..."
"Then Yang Zhen is good at using illusion formations!" Lu Youan added.
Han Rui clasped her hands and suddenly realized: "This makes sense!"
Lu Youan didn't know the function of Fushou Ding, but she knew it. If Yang Zhen and others hide in the illusion formation, no matter how strong Huzan is, they will not be able to stop the refining power of the giant cauldron.
"It turns out that I am the one who caused you harm!" Han Rui thought to herself.
The truth of some things is actually just a piece of window paper. Once it is pierced, many unexplained questions will be answered in an instant. @*~~
Yes, it can only be a small world, and it must be a small world. Even if it sounds unreasonable, it can explain many problems in the most reasonable way.
What a fan of the authorities!
Han Rui patted her forehead, turned to look at Lu You'an, and showed a satisfied smile: "You'an, you kid is willing to think about things, that's good!"
"If Dongxiao's gang is caught, you will be the first to take credit!"
"Caught them?" Lu You'an said uncertainly: "After so many days, they should all have escaped, right?"
"No, if it is really the small world you mentioned, they, hehe, should still be there..." Han Rui sneered.
Although she never leaves home, she looks ancient.
But the movements are clear. I heard that the formation master has been staying in the giant cauldron to understand the remaining formation since the fifth day of September and has not left a step so far.
Of course, she didn't need to explain this reason to Lu You'an.
Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat.
Did Gu Zheng really stay in that giant cauldron to understand the remnant formation?
Had he already guessed it was a small world?
Looking for an excuse to stay in Juding, are you actually searching for this object?
Gu Zheng, he wants to monopolize it?
The thought of swallowing it alone made her heart move again.
That's right, why should I report something like the Small World to the Demon Lord, the old immortal? Wouldn't it be nice to keep it in my own hands?
That day, the old thief's uncontrollable killing intent several times made her spine run cold, and she almost thought she was going to die!
Once the water of life is refined, will this old thief try to burn bridges?
The division of territories among the various lands has touched upon the foundation of the Demon Clan’s rule. Is the old thief really so kind?
The more Han Rui thought about it, the more frightened she became.
Instead of holding his life in the hands of the old thief and letting him manipulate him, it is better to have the small world in his hands. With the vastness of the mountain domain, even if he is the transformed god, where can he find it?
The small world is a way out for survival!
I'm afraid that Gu Zheng had the same plan in his heart!
You are so good, Gu Zheng, we are all human beings, we are here to help each other, but you actually want to eat alone!
Also, she suddenly remembered something.
In the past few thousand years, no one in the Jade World has been able to break through the threshold of becoming a god. It is said that it is because all the treasures of heaven and earth have been exhausted. Even if there are one or two treasures that can help to break through, there is a high probability that they are hidden in the hands of the Demon Lord. The secret is Don't show anyone.
However, if one can refine the small world and become a god, it is not out of reach!
Han Rui paused for breath. For a person who has lived for more than a thousand years, his heart was pounding like a little girl meeting her lover for the first time!
If Gu Zheng doesn't know the existence of the small world, then I will go to the giant cauldron and find it secretly!
If Gu Zheng has found this thing, I will have a showdown with him and they will split it equally, otherwise, we will break up!
Also, no more people can know about this!
Han Rui made a decision in her heart.
"Grandmaster, Grandmaster!" The young man's low voice echoed in his ears.
Seeing that his kind-faced ancestor just now, Lu Youan suddenly fell silent. The expression on his face changed several times. He couldn't help but feel a little strange, so he called out twice.
Han Rui raised her head, looked at the young man in front of her, and smiled again:
"You'an, you have made great achievements this time. Tell me, what do you want the ancestor to reward you? As long as I can do it, everything will be easy!"
Lu Youxin's heart was full of flowers, but his face was full of righteousness: "Ancestor, this is the duty of a disciple! The disciple's greatest wish is to be under the sect of the ancestor and receive his teachings from time to time, that's all!"
"Oh, really?" Han Rui responded dully, then suddenly remembered something and said with a smile: "I heard that girl Qingzhi has been looking for you recently. Why didn't you call her when you came to Ancestor today? "
"Well," Lu You'an scratched his head and said sheepishly, "This disciple just wanted to understand what happened in the small world. He just wanted to report it to his ancestor immediately, but he didn't. He didn't bother her."
"Well, you did a good job." Han Rui put aside her worries and finally stopped hesitating. However, she still asked:
"Didn't you tell anyone else?"
"No!" Lu You'an replied, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
"Very good!" Han Rui was completely relieved: "Tell me, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"
"Disciple wants to ask the ancestor to make the decision, Miss Qingzhi, she, she..." Lu You'an hesitated, his face suddenly changed: "Unfulfilled wish? Disciple..."
Han Rui nodded, too lazy to keep pretending in front of this foundation-building disciple: "The fewer people who know about the affairs of the small world, the better, so you can go on your way without any worries!"
"I will ask Qingzhi to place a stick of incense in front of your grave."
After saying that, Lu Youan was struck with a palm. He was killed immediately before he could make any struggle.
His eyes bulged, and he would not close his eyes until death!
…
On the second day, inside a house in the Holy City
"The cold grass was there yesterday.
Is there anything unusual happening at home? asked the old man in black with a pointed head and an ugly appearance.
"Reporting to the Chief Steward, everything was normal during the day. Last night..." The graceful woman said: "A Foundation Establishment disciple came to pay homage to Lord Han and threatened to know the whereabouts of Huzan. @ Then, then Lord Han summoned he."
"The whereabouts of Huzan?" The old man asked in surprise: "Then what did the Foundation Establishment disciple say?"
"That disciple was very cautious and asked Master Han to push me away. I didn't hear anything."
"You -" the old man pointed at the woman and said angrily: "I didn't hear anything, what did you tell me to do!"
The woman smiled sweetly and didn't care about his accusation: "It's just..."
"What's the matter?"
"Half an hour later, Master Han called me in. That disciple had been killed by her."
"What?" The old man became interested: "Did Han Rui explain why he killed him?"
"Lord Han said that the guy was speechless, talking nonsense, and finally made fun of her. In a fit of anger, Lord Han took his life."
"Hahaha -" the old man looked up to the sky and laughed: "A little foundation-building cultivator actually went to molest the majestic Nascent Soul Lord, do you believe it?"
The woman's smile was as bright as a flower: "Of course I don't believe it."
"Okay!" The old man sneered: "There must be something fishy about this! Tell me the disciple's surname, and I will send someone to check his origins and behavior! You go back and continue to stare at Han Rui. This is the order of the ancestor. , there must be no mistake!”
"Yes." The woman responded in a low voice.
After a while, there was no one left in this ordinary house. The conversation just now seemed like it had never happened before...
