"Come and take a look, I found the body of the colorful glass snake!"

"Sir, do you think this is the colorful glass snake we keep here?"

A cry of surprise diverted the attention of the three men and one woman to the colorful glazed snake that had been killed by Jiang Nuer before.

The red-bearded old man, who was respectfully called the Venerable, hurriedly stepped forward, and then his expression changed drastically. He reached out and hugged the headless body of the colorful glazed snake and roared: "Asshole! When I find him, I will definitely cut him into pieces. part!"

"Then what should we do next?"

A middle-aged man walking with him asked in a low voice with some fear: "Honorable Sir, if I remember correctly, of all the three-color glazed snakes that we controlled and released in this mountain range, only this one has transformed and evolved into a colorful glazed snake. The possibility of a snake, now that someone has killed this snake, should we continue to invest more here?”

Two other middle-aged men also expressed their opinions at this time, saying: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that if we continue to increase investment, we may increase the chance of being discovered, which is not good for us..."

"snort!"

The red-bearded old man hummed softly: "If the only thing I rely on is a snake like this, how can I gain a firm foothold in the Alchemist Association? Or even sit on the position of vice president?"

"In March, how are the other monsters we released in the mountains doing now?"

The female companion who was asked by the red-bearded old man immediately took out a book and opened it. While reading, she said: "Returning to the venerable sir, the other monsters we released in the mountains have successively completed the transformation and evolution at the bloodline level. In addition, They have become more and more adapted to hunting in the wild environment, so each monster is in very good condition, and it is expected that it will take another half a year to grow into the most suitable alchemy material."

"Sure enough, as recorded in ancient books, those monster beasts that have returned to their wild nature and devoured the flesh and blood of human beings can perform better when used as alchemy materials."

After hearing what the woman said, the red-bearded old man looked better. He threw the body of the colorful glass snake aside, stood up and walked in the direction he came from. He said to the man and woman following him: "When the time is right, I will put these After all the demonic beasts are refined into alchemy materials, they will surely be able to successfully refine a true sixth-grade elixir, and surpass that old stubborn Sun Miaosi to become the chief vice-president of the Alchemy Association!"

"Let's go and see what's going on with the other monsters."

After the words fell, two middle-aged men opened the way in front, and the woman supported the old man with a red beard and followed closely behind.

"call···"

When the three men and one woman finally walked away, Su You, who was hiding in the vines and was nervous, panted heavily and walked out of the hiding place with Jiang Nuer.

Looking at the figure that was no longer in sight, Su You recalled everything that happened suddenly and suddenly thought of something.

So before he was discovered, Jiang Nuer whispered on the way back to Hui'an City with him down the mountain: "If I read it correctly just now, the red-bearded old man is wearing the fifth-grade alchemy of the Alchemist Association." At the same time, based on what he said, it is inferred that he must be the vice president of the association who knows Master Sun Miaosi and is very dissatisfied with Master Sun Miaosi, and the Alchemist Association has only four vice presidents in total..."

"I once met Master Sun Miaosi in Bailu City... Could it be that... it was him!"

"Who is it?" Seeing Su You's surprise, Jiang Nuer asked, "Did you recognize who the old guy was just now?"

"not at all."

Su You shook his head and then looked at Jiang Nuer and asked: "Nuer, when you were the chief auctioneer of Tiandu Auction House, did you ever get to know a second-grade alchemist named Xu Weidong? Or maybe? Do you know what kind of person Xu Weidong’s grandfather is?”

Jiang Nuer raised her eyebrows and said slightly surprised: "You mean that the red-bearded old guy just now is Xu Weidong's grandfather, the fifth-grade alchemist of the Xu family?"

"I'm not sure about this. The only thing I know is that Xu Weidong is a bit arrogant and has a bad temper. He also likes to bring out his own grandfather to suppress others." Still shaking his head, Su You said doubtfully: "Unless You have to see it with your own eyes, otherwise what I just said is just some speculation. If you jump to conclusions, you will only cause yourself trouble, and it will be a huge trouble."

"Then what are your plans next? Are you going to be a police officer investigating a case, collect evidence, and then arrest that old guy with a red beard?"

Jiang Nuer looked at Su You with some curiosity. She wanted to know what Su You's plan would be next.

Su You took a deep breath, his face returned to normal, and he said slowly: "With my Yuandan realm strength, challenging a fifth-level alchemist is undoubtedly asking for death, so such troublesome matters should be left to the Alchemist Association itself. To solve it, all we need to do is attend the alchemy conference in Tianhua City and let ourselves be taken seriously by the Alchemist Association."

"Only when they see your potential and know that you are worthy of being trained, can what you say have some weight and make them pay attention to this matter."

Along the way, the two of them returned to their previous inn after walking out of the mountains.

However, when I found a seat and sat down, I was about to ask the waiter to arrange some signboards for breakfast. .

Su You and Jiang Nuer looked at each other with slightly changed expressions, and they both saw a bit of surprise in each other's eyes.

The front door of the inn is in front of the sight.

An old man with a red beard wearing the attire of a fifth-grade alchemist was leading two men and a woman across the threshold and walked in. He also found a random place and sat down while the waiters quickly served food and tea.

While waiting for the food to be served, the red-bearded old man looked sideways at the table of Su You and Jiang Nuer, opening and closing their mouths with the two men and one woman sitting next to him as if they were talking about something.

Perhaps some kind of sound transmission method was used, or maybe the voices were simply too low. Su You couldn't hear what they were saying even though he listened hard.

I only saw the old man with a red beard getting up and walking out of the inn alone after finishing the breakfast in front of him and drinking a cup of fragrant tea.

And just after the red-bearded old man left.

"I really don't know who killed the His Majesty's favorite colorful glazed snake, so that we all have to stay here to watch those monsters for His Majesty."

"Then what else can we do? Don't forget that the poison in our bodies can only be detoxified by the antidote given by His Holiness. We can't let His Holiness hear you complaining about his decision."

"Your Majesty will take a boat back to Tianhua City soon to prepare for the alchemy conference in a few months. Then when do you plan to go to the mountains again?"

The conversation between two men and a woman entered Su You's mind.

At the same time, Su You also learned that the red-bearded old man whose cultivation realm was in the same realm as Jiang Nuer would soon leave Hui'an City, and that the two men and one woman who were left in Hui'an City would enter the depths of the mountains again.

At the same time, the conversation between two men and one woman had not ended yet.

Deep in the mountains, the woman who was respectful to the red-bearded old man said with a gloomy face to the two middle-aged men: "Is there really no other antidote? If we can get the fourth-grade elixir, we can definitely get rid of that old guy. control!"

Hearing this, the two middle-aged men immediately smiled bitterly and said: "If there is a solution, do you think we will get the antidote without going bankrupt? Just give up. What the Venerable gave us is a specially made poison, and the antidote is available in the world." Just one portion.”

"hateful!"

The woman who clenched her teeth and tried not to hit the table with her fist could only curse softly and vent her anger on the breakfast in front of her.

Wait until everyone is full and full.

"Okay, let's go deep into the mountains to see the situation."

The two middle-aged men greeted the ugly-faced woman and got up and walked out of the inn.

"They are going back to the depths of the mountains!"

Immediately realizing that this was an excellent opportunity to find out more about this matter, Su You and Jiang Nuer looked at each other and understood each other tacitly. They tacitly chose to get up and follow the two men in front of them from a distance. Behind the woman.

No less powerful than the red-bearded old man, the most powerful of the two men and one woman was the woman at the fourth level of the Soul Realm.

With Jiang Nuer's help, Su You would not be discovered without using the invisibility charm.

that's all.

Following them all the way, Su You and Jiang Nuer quickly returned to the mountains from Hui'an City.

The difference is that the two men and one woman obviously know another route into the depths of the mountains. It is narrow and secluded, and at the same time, you can see the corpses of monsters discarded on both sides, which are obviously captured and used for experiments.

Go further forward and deeper.

The two men and one woman walking in front pushed aside the pile of stones in front of a stone wall and walked into a deep and dark cave with unknown depth and length.

Soon.

The cave began to echo with the screams of various monsters.

A strong smell of blood slowly drifted past the noses of Su You and Jiang Nuer along the mountain breeze.
