In the evening, the rays of light cast a layer of magnificent golden color over a quiet mountain forest.
Suddenly, a lush forest loosened up, and dozens of well-built people came out.
The leader was a middle-aged man with a weathered face, tall stature, and extraordinary clothing and temperament.
This person is none other than Xiao Zhan, who has been searching hard for the mysterious alchemist.
Looking at the deep old forest ahead, Xiao Zhan sighed.
This time I couldn't find the mysterious alchemist, so I had to give up.
Suddenly, there was a sound of slight footsteps on the right, thousands of steps away.
Warcraft!
Xiao Zhan's eyes flashed, and then he took off like a roc spreading its wings.
In the blink of an eye, he reached the location of the monster.
"Shishan Crack"
Xiao Zhan used a Xuan-level low-level fighting skill and blasted away.
Fighting skills are divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang, which weaken in sequence.
The terrifying impact tore apart an area of hundreds of square meters like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
Strangely, no monsters appeared.
"Where's the monster?"
Xiao Zhan frowned.
Then, his eyes fell on a pile of leaves a hundred steps away.
At the same time, the pile of leaves moved, and a dark hand came out.
"It's human"
Xiao Zhan's brows widened.
Crash... With a faint sound of leaves breaking, a dark and lean young man, carrying a cowhide bow and quiver on his back, crawled out of an animal trap in fear.
"Are you a hunter from this area?"
Xiao Zhan asked.
"Um"
The young hunter nodded honestly.
"Sorry, little brother, I thought it was a monster."
Xiao Zhan looked apologetic.
"it's okay no problem……"
The young hunter waved his hands repeatedly.
Xiao Zhan took off a bag of gold coins from his waist, walked up to the young hunter, and said, "This bag of gold coins is for you."
"I don't want it! You didn't hurt me."
The young hunter shook his head and refused.
"Take it"
Xiao Zhan forced the gold coin to the young Orion.
"This, I, okay"
The young Orion wanted to refuse, but seeing Xiao Zhan's determined expression, he had no choice but to accept.
Xiao Zhan missed the young hunter and continued to move forward.
"It's dangerous ahead"
Young Orion reminded.
Xiao Zhan stopped, turned around and asked, "What kind of dangerous method?"
"There is a lake in front of you. There is a big white fish in the lake. It is very fierce. The last time I washed my face by the lake, I was almost eaten by it."
Young Orion explained.
What should it be?
Xiao Zhan laughed, "It's just a fish, I don't take it seriously."
The young hunter then remembered how powerful the middle-aged man in front of him was, and scratched his head in embarrassment.
Xiao Zhan was moved in his heart, "Little brother, apart from that big fish, has anything strange happened in the mountains in recent months?"
"Strange thing?"
The young Orion tilted his head as if thinking.
Suddenly, he patted his thigh and said, "It's true. Some time ago, I saw a man digging medicinal materials in the mountains from a distance. I got closer out of curiosity, but the man disappeared in a flash."
Xiao Zhan suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked, "Do you still remember where that place is?"
"Of course I remember," the young hunter said, then frowned, "but you have to pass by the lake where the big fish is."
"Take me there and give you a bag of gold coins."
Xiao Zhan said.
The young hunter thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take you there."
At this time, dozens of Xiao family guards who came with Xiao Zhan arrived.
The young hunter felt more at ease seeing so many people.
Not long after, the group arrived near the lake.
"When did there be a courtyard by the lake?"
The young Orion said in astonishment.
"That mysterious alchemist must live here."
Xiao Zhan affirmed.
"What, you said there is an alchemist living here?"
The young Orion's face was full of shock.
"Thank you, this is your reward"
Xiao Zhan gave the young hunter another bag of gold coins.
The young Orion did not refuse this time.
"Your Excellency has found the person you are looking for. It's time for me to leave."
The young hunter wisely said goodbye.
Xiao Zhan nodded.
The young hunter turned around and ducked into the trees.
Xiao Zhan led a group of guards to the steps of the courtyard.
"You stay outside"
Xiao Zhan ordered.
"Yes, patriarch"
A group of people responded.
Xiao Zhan tidied his clothes, took a deep breath, walked up the steps, reached out and knocked on the door.
boom!
A huge rebound force launched Xiao Zhan away.
He fell heavily into a patch of grass a hundred meters away.
"patriarch"
"patriarch"
…
A group of Xiao family guards shouted and rushed towards the grass.
Before he came forward, Xiao Zhan stood up.
"It's strange, it doesn't hurt at all."
Xiao Zhan muttered to himself with a puzzled expression.
"Clan leader, are you okay?"
"Clan leader, how are you?"
…
The guards who came closer asked with concern.
"I'm fine"
Xiao Zhan shook his head gently.
The guards were relieved.
A moment later, Xiao Zhan came to the foot of the steps again and was about to speak.
A roaring voice came from inside: "Who is outside?"
Xiao Zhan was overjoyed and immediately said: "Wutan City, the head of the Xiao family, Xiao Zhan, is here to visit our senior."
"Never heard of it, never seen it"
Xiaotian refused coldly.
Xiao Zhan's face froze, but he immediately regained his composure.
The alchemist has a weird temper and a big attitude, and he has seen many of them.
"Senior, Quanzi...I am the father..."
Xiao Zhan explained the situation of his son Xiao Yan's stagnant cultivation in three years.
I blamed myself several times for being useless.
When I finished speaking, my eyes were red.
Perhaps because he was infected by Xiao Zhan, Xiao Tian softened his tone a little: "The Taoist Master is not at home. If you have anything to do, wait until he comes back to talk about it."
Xiao Zhan said excitedly: "Thank you, senior, I'll wait for him outside."
"No, there's no guarantee when the Taoist Master will come back. It may be immediately, or it may be several months."
Xiaotian said.
"a few months"
Xiao Zhan looked troubled.
He is the leader of the clan and has many things to deal with, not to mention a few months, not even ten days.
"If you insist on waiting, I won't stop you. Don't even think about coming in. The Taoist Master put a ban on it before he left. No one can get in or out until he comes back."
Xiaotian said.
Xiao Zhan frowned.
"Clan leader, why don't we go back first?"
"Yes, patriarch"
…
Several older guards among the guards spoke.
Xiao Zhan shook his head, "Let's wait overnight and see."
The night passed quickly.
Cao Yi still hasn't come back.
Xiao Zhan had no choice but to leave with the guards.
Under a hundred-foot-high waterfall, whitecaps rolled and filled with water vapor.
Cao Yi sat on the plate with his eyes closed.
Suddenly there was a flash in the sky.
Cao Yi moved dozens of miles directly.
Immediately afterwards, a bolt of lightning struck where Cao Yi was sitting just now.
On a mountain peak hundreds of meters high.
"not good"
Cao Yi moved sideways again.
Then, another thunder and lightning struck.
This happened five times in a row before it stopped.
Cao Yi became more and more curious about the origin of Huang Yang.
I found a secluded place and continued the deduction.
Ten days later.
Yuxu Guan.
"What the hell?"
King Shen, who was also thrown away, looked confused.
He went out during the period when Cao Yi taught Xiaotian to make alchemy.
Unexpectedly, I couldn’t get in when I came back.
"The Taoist priest issued a ban when he left. Just stay outside."
Xiaotian sounded a little gloating.
