At three o'clock in the morning, there were only a few people on the streets of Xiliu City, which should have been lively. Even the people walking on the streets were in a hurry and looked nervous.
On the second floor of the liquor store facing the street, Lin Yang was leaning against the window to have a drink. Facing the window was the He family. The door was open. There were soldiers holding guns and halberds inside and outside the door. Corpses covered with white cloths were leaving the He family. Shipped out in a steady stream.
On the second floor of the wine shop, many drinkers poked their heads out to look at the He family, and at the same time they inevitably gathered together to talk.
"It's so tragic. All the He family members were killed overnight. Even the cats and dogs were not spared."
"Where is He Dongyuan? He is one of the few masters in our Xiliu City. I heard that his energy level is not lower than that of our city lord!"
"I heard someone say that He Dongyuan must have received the news and left Xiliu City early yesterday morning. He most likely escaped!"
"Who is the other party? He kills the whole family as soon as he takes action, and his methods are extremely vicious. I saw several corpses with my own eyes, none of them were complete. Either the limbs were cut off, or the ears and nose were cut off. It's too horrible to look at!"
"Who else could it be? Aren't the early White Crane Clan and the current He Family all done by the Dark Alliance?"
"Dark Alliance! What is the Dark Alliance?"
"Shh, you all keep your voices down and don't get into trouble. Have you seen what happened to the He family?"
…
Lin Yang had to pass through Xiliu City when he wanted to return to Xian'an City. Moreover, even if he didn't pass by Xiliu City on the way, he still had to go to Xiliu City because he still had some important things to do in Xiliu City.
As soon as he arrived in Xiliu City, Lin Yang heard about the He family, so he looked for this wine shop to have a closer look.
Two soldiers were carrying the corpse across the gate of He's house. A strong wind came and the white cloth was lifted, revealing the pale corpse of a young girl with no body parts and bruises all over her body. She had been cut off His ears popped open and his eyes widened in horror.
When the wind stopped, the two soldiers quickly covered the body with white cloth and carried the girl's body away.
The moment Lin Yang saw the body, he immediately clenched his fists. Lin Yang happened to recognize this poor girl. She was a slave of the He family. She personally served Lin Yang tea. When Lin Yang thanked her, the girl gave Lin Yang a sweet smile in return.
At this moment, Lin Yang still remembered the girl's sweet smile. But now, the girl has turned into a cold corpse, a corpse with a face of fear and pain! An innocent and fresh life passed away, and he suffered inhuman humiliation and torture before his death.
Lin Yang was filled with rage. The cruel method of killing everyone in the He family made him extremely angry!
"Dark Alliance, were you the ones who did it? If so, you will have to pay the price in blood for your beastly behavior!" Lin Yang made a decision in his heart. If it is confirmed that the Dark Alliance is the murderer, he will definitely find the Dark Alliance as long as there is a chance. The alliance settles accounts.
After the bodies in the He family were cleared, the soldiers withdrew from the He family. The door to the He family was then closed and a seal was posted on the door.
Lin Yang slowly walked out of the liquor store, came to the remote dark alley on the side of He's house, and jumped into He's house.
Tables were overturned, chairs were overturned, windows were broken, and doors were broken. He's house was in a mess everywhere. There were bloodstains everywhere on the ground, on the pillars, on the doors and windows, and the strong smell of blood had not dissipated. It was like a Shura field.
Lin Yang followed his memory and went directly to the house where He Dongyuan lived. The door was open, books and vase fragments were scattered all over the floor, and all the corners of the room had signs of being turned over.
"They are obviously looking for something? Are they also here for the Breaking Realm Pill?" Lin Yang guessed in his heart, and raised his eyes to look at the wall on one side of the room. There was an oil painting mural painted on the wall, with a mountain There is water, there are birds in the sky, there is a fisherman fishing in a boat in the water, and a golden carp is being pulled out of the water by the fisherman.
Lin Yang walked straight to the mural and pressed his hands on the heads of the birds, fishermen and carps in turn.
Immediately, a square hidden grid was revealed on the wall on one side of the mural. In the dark grid, there was an ebony box.
The reason why Lin Yang knew there was a hidden mechanism in He Dongyuan's room was because he sneaked under the wall of He Dongyuan's room that night. Not only did he hear the conversation between He Dongyuan and Liang Yuan, he also saw He Dongyuan open the wall after Liang Yuan left. He opened the ebony box in the secret compartment and played with the contents for a long time before putting them back. Because He Dongyuan had his back to Lin Yang at the time, Lin Yang could not see what was in the box.
Lin Yang would naturally not let go of something that could be so treasured by He Dongyuan. This was also an important reason why he came to Xiliu City.
Lin Yang took out the ebony box from the hidden compartment. The ebony box was only the size of a palm, but it was very heavy to hold. Lin Yang carefully opened the box and saw a five-cent-thick plaque with osmanthus flowers engraved on the front and purple all over.
Lin Yang took the sign in his hand and rubbed it gently. He didn't know what kind of material the sign was made of. It was not metal or jade, but more like some kind of rare wood. It was warm and smooth to the touch, and at the same time there was a cool feeling. The sign came out, along Lin Yang's arm and straight to his forehead, making Lin Yang feel refreshed, all the distracting thoughts in his mind cleared away, and he felt refreshed.
"Hey, it actually has the effect of calming the mind and refreshing the mind! It is indeed a good treasure. No wonder it is so cherished by He Dongyuan!" Lin Yang turned the sign over and saw three words engraved on the back: Zui Yue Ling.
"Drunken Moon Order!"
Lin Yang was startled when he saw the word Zuiyue, and an image immediately appeared in his mind: a big gourd tied around his waist, and an old man with a broad face stood out of thin air. The owner of Zuiyue Tower in Zhongzhou, Feng Zhuiyue!
It was Feng Zhuiyue who gave Lin Yang the Tianhe Gourd and "The Art of Bewitching Gods" that allowed Lin Yang to embark on the path of Yuanxiu and achieve what he is today.
"Zuiyue Tower, Zuiyue Order. The time when I met Senior Feng Zhuiyue was close to the time when the body appeared in Heming Mountain. Moreover, I did not see the body of Senior Feng under Duanhun Cliff. If Heming Mountain came out of thin air, The corpse that appeared was Senior Feng, so the things about the Breaking Realm Pill, the Breaking Realm Pill Fang and the Zuiyue Ling can all be explained." Lin Yang's thoughts raced and he quickly connected all the things together.
"I don't know where Senior Feng's body is now. Senior Feng was kind to me. I should collect his bones and bury him alive!" Lin Yang sighed. Feng Zhuiyue, a great figure in Zhongzhou, even had his bones attached after his death. They were all robbed, disappeared, and had no peace.
"If it was really the Dark Alliance who destroyed the White Crane Clan, the body of Senior Feng should have fallen into the hands of the Dark Alliance! Dark Alliance, it seems I have to go meet you!" Lin Yang put the Zuiyue Order away and quietly climbed over the wall. Out of the He family.
As the number one store in Qianzhou, Baolige has branches even in small towns like Xian'an City. Of course, it will not miss out on Xiliu City, which is far larger than Xian'an City.
Baoli Pavilion in Xiliu City is located at the most prosperous intersection in the city. Due to the extermination of the He family, Xiliu City is under martial law. There are not many pedestrians on the street. Baoli Pavilion, which used to be crowded with guests, is also very deserted today. . In the huge exhibition hall, there were only a few or two sparse guests. Except for the waiter who was greeting the guests, the other waiters gathered together and chatted boringly.
At this time, a young man with a tall figure and handsome face walked into Baoli Pavilion. It was Lin Yang.
"Sir, what do you need?"
When the sharp-eyed waiter saw Lin Yang coming in, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile on his face.
"Yuan Ji Dan." Lin Yang said calmly.
When the clerk heard the words Yuan Ji Dan, he couldn't help but look at Lin Yang a little, because those who need Yuan Ji Dan must be Yuan Xiu at the ninth level of the Condensing Yuan Realm. Lin Yang can cultivate to the ninth level of the Condensing Yuan Realm at such a young age. Such characters are rare in Xiliu City.
"Sir, our Baoli Pavilion naturally has Yuan Ji Dan, but you need to make an appointment in advance. If you are willing to wait, make an appointment today, and we will definitely be able to deliver Yuan Ji Dan to you in three days." The clerk said apologetically. .
"Does it take three days?" Lin Yang frowned slightly and said, "I can't wait three days. Take out all the spiritual herbs on this list that you have here and take a look at them."
Lin Yang handed a list to the clerk. The clerk looked at the list and said, "The spiritual herbs that the master wants are very expensive. Are you sure you want ten copies of them?"
"Brother, hurry up and get it, I'm on my way!" Lin Yang said calmly. He had plundered nearly 20,000 low-grade Yuan stones from Huang Qi, Huang Liuyuan and He Dongyuan. Now he is considered to be rich and powerful, and his words are naturally tough. .
Soon, the waiter brought over ten kinds of spiritual herbs for Lin Yang, all in ten portions.
"Sir, there are a total of two thousand and eight low-grade Yuan stones." The guy's face was always full of smiles.
"Two thousand low-grade Yuanshi!" Lin Yang's heart suddenly trembled. He knew that the price of these spiritual herbs was not low, but he didn't expect it to be so high.
The spiritual grass Lin Yang wants is the material for refining Yuan Ji Dan, so the price will naturally be high.
All of a sudden, his pocket would be reduced by one tenth. At this moment, Lin Yang no longer had any sense of wealth and wealth. He only regretted that he had too few yuan stones and his pocket was not big enough.
"I spent so much in your store at one time, can you give me a discount, how about 20% off?" The expenditure exceeded expectations, and Lin Yang made a counteroffer.
"Sir, please wait a moment. I'll ask the shopkeeper for instructions." The clerk bowed towards Lin Yang and ran to the back hall. He obviously did not have the authority to discount.
After a while, the waiter came out, followed by a thin middle-aged man, who was obviously the shopkeeper of Baoli Pavilion in Xiliu City.
The shopkeeper first greeted Lin Yang with a smile, and then looked at the spiritual herbs.
"Are you going to refine Yuan Ji Dan?" The shopkeeper has extraordinary eyesight and can see the usefulness of these spiritual herbs at a glance. At the same time, he looked at Lin Yang with a bit more solemnity, because the unfamiliar young man in front of him was most likely an alchemist, and alchemists were very rare in Xiliu City.
Lin Yang nodded, knowing that he had met an expert, he didn't hide it, and he didn't want to hide it either.
"To refine Yuan Ji Dan, we still need water drop grass. If you have time to wait, our store can deliver water drop grass to you within three days. However, you should know the characteristics of water drop grass. It only takes ten days to refine. Time, excluding transportation time." The shopkeeper is obviously very familiar with alchemy.
"I don't have time to wait. I will leave Xiliu City later." Lin Yang responded softly and said: "Shopkeeper, I must have asked you for permission. Can you give me a 20% discount on these spiritual herbs? "
"Sir, most of these spiritual herbs are rare and rare. The price of two thousand is not high. If you cut off more than four hundred low-grade Yuan stones as soon as you open your mouth, I will make a loss-making business. If Baoli Pavilion is mine, , in order to make you a friend, I will sell it to you even if I lose money." The shopkeeper looked embarrassed and continued: "Sir, if you sincerely want it, I can only give it to you with the greatest sincerity within my authority. How about you give me a 10% discount and wipe out the fraction for a total of 1,800 low-grade Yuan stones?"
When the shopkeeper said this, Lin Yang couldn't make any more counter-offers, so he had to take out the Yuan Stone in pain.
Lin Yang's second purpose of returning to Xiliu City was to buy the spiritual grass for refining Yuanji Dan. Of course, he would be able to refine a first-grade elixir now, but he would definitely not be able to refine a third-grade Yuanji Dan. However, he did not expect to be able to refine the Yuan Ji Dan. He only wanted to refine the Yuan Ji Dan Waste Pill into shape.
However, even the waste elixir and the third-grade Yuanji elixir are still quite difficult for him. Moreover, the cost of refining the Yuan Ji Dan was too great. Ten pieces of spiritual grass cost him nearly two thousand lower-grade Yuan Stones, excluding the most rare water drop grass. If it weren't for the fact that a piece of water drop grass with a single stem, three leaves and round leaves was growing vigorously in the Kuangxue Bead, he would not have had the courage to think of refining the Yuan Ji Dan.
What Lin Yang hopes most is to buy the finished Yuan Ji Dan. However, Yuan Ji Dan is too precious. Not only is it not sold in Danxia Town, even the largest store in Qianzhou requires a reservation. Moreover, even the spiritual grass for refining the Yuan Ji Dan is so expensive. The price of the Yuan Ji Dan can be imagined. If Lin Yang wants to obtain the Five Pattern Yuan Ji Dan, based on his synthesis experience using the Tianhe Gourd, it will take at least 80 years. A single elemental base elixir.
Thinking about this, Lin Yang felt dizzy.
"It's still some time before Yuan Xiu breaks through. I'd better improve my alchemy level first. It's best to reach the level of a second-grade alchemist before refining Yuan Ji Dan. The cost of refining Yuan Ji Dan is too high. I We can't afford to bother now." After saying goodbye to the shopkeeper, Lin Yang walked out of Baoli Pavilion in Xiliu City with a heart full of thoughts.
The two purposes of coming to Xiliu City had been achieved, and Lin Yang went straight out of Xiliu City and rushed to Xian'an City.
As soon as he left the gate of Xiliu City, Lin Yang found that there was a tail following behind him. He frowned and continued moving forward calmly.
Lin Yang thought to himself that since the He family was destroyed, no one in Xiliu City would notice him. He also thought about whether Baolige was interested in making money, but considering that Baolige's family was so big and powerful, there was no point in ruining his reputation just for a few Yuan stones of his.
After excluding the He family and Baoli Pavilion, Lin Yang thought of a possibility: dark alliance!
"If it is really the Dark Alliance, it will save me a lot of effort to find them." Lin Yang thought in his heart, and at the same time he was very energetic. After all, he had heard a lot about the evil reputation of the Dark Alliance these days. .
