"I already know about this. It doesn't matter and I can't blame you."
Ziyue waved his hand.
He knew his in-name disciple well. He had grown up in the sect and had never stepped out of the Qingxu Sect. He had stayed in the Elixir Treasure Hall for 150 years.
Although his talent was ordinary, he was obsessed with alchemy. He was an alchemy fanatic and an honest person.
Given his intelligence, it would be hard for him to guard against someone who was scheming against him.
Moreover, since Perfected Elixir Lord had already sealed off Fiery Spirit Peak's supply of materials, it didn't matter whether Ma Zhen accepted the task or not.
At the end of the day, he had to solve the problem of the source of the spirit materials.
Otherwise, it would be a huge blow to his reputation if he stopped the alchemy at Fiery Spirit Peak right after it started.
"Fortunately, I already had a plan. Otherwise, I would be in a mess."
With that thought, Ziyue flipped his hand and a spirit talisman appeared in his hand. "This is Hallmaster Dan Chen's identity talisman. Take it to the herb garden manager and tell him if you need anything. I believe no one will dare to stop you."
"Hallmaster Dan Chen's identity talisman?"
Ma Zhen's eyes widened.
Although he knew about Hallmaster Dan Chen's visit, he didn't expect that he would give his master an identity talisman.
With this identity talisman, it wouldn't be difficult to get Grade Three spirit materials, let alone Grade One and Grade Two spirit materials.
"If it's not enough, this is the identity talisman of Hallmaster Ling Nai of the Field Hall. You can ask someone in the Field Hall about the spirit materials. I believe someone will deliver the spirit materials you need soon."
Bai Ziyue pondered for a moment. With a thought, another identity talisman appeared in his hand.
It was the one given to him by Perfected Cultivator Ling Coffin in Blood Mountain City.
"This … this … with these two identity talismans, Elder Elixir Lord's words of sealing off Fiery Spirit Peak are just a joke."
Ma Zhen was overjoyed. He respected and admired Ziyue even more.
He truly had not expected that his master would gain the favor of two Golden Core Perfected Lords without anyone noticing.
"Disciple Chen Fan greets Master and Senior Brother Ma Zhen."
At this moment, a slightly dark and thin young man walked over hesitantly and bowed respectfully.
"What is it?"
Ziyue asked casually.
"Yesterday, we went to the Dan Treasure Hall to participate in the exam. On the way back, I saw three junior brothers who had just broken through from apprentice alchemists to beginner grade one alchemists being stopped by someone. Then, they left with that person not long after.
Originally, I didn't think too much about it, but when I was refining pills today, I saw that the three junior brothers didn't come back. I felt that it was a little strange, so I decided to come and report it. "
After a moment of hesitation, Chen Fan said hurriedly.
"Do you know who that person is?"
Ma Zhen hurriedly asked.
He had just experienced being schemed against, so he was extremely sensitive.
At the same time, he didn't care about the disgust of the other junior brothers and directly spread out his Divine Sense. His body shook quickly and he said with a pale face, "Indeed, Junior Brothers Fang Han, Lin Xuan, and Zhao Wu didn't come back."
Ziyue also spread out his Divine Sense immediately, but it scanned the entire Huo Ling Peak and didn't find any trace of the three in-name disciples.
"It's the Dan Treasure Hall Deacon Hong Yifeng.
He joined the Dan Treasure Hall at the same time as me. He's actually quite talented in alchemy, but he's better at currying favor. So, he quickly hooked up with Steward Wang of the Dan Treasure Hall. That's why he's only an apprentice alchemist now. "
Chen Fan hurriedly replied.
"Steward Wang, Wang Wei?"
Ma Zhen's body trembled.
Previously, he had been ruthlessly scammed by this Steward Wang.
Ziyue also looked up with a glimmer of light in his eyes.
If it was just that they didn't come back, one day was nothing.
But now that their disappearance was obviously related to Steward Wang, things were definitely not simple.
"Let's go to the Dan Treasure Hall."
Ziyue said as he grabbed Ma Zhen and Chen Fan. They quickly turned into shadows and rushed toward the Dan Treasure Hall.
…
When they arrived at the Dan Treasure Hall, Ziyue didn't hesitate at all. His Divine Sense spread out and he instantly used the Big Hole Observation Technique.
In an instant, other than the area inside the Dan Treasure Hall that was blocked by the array, everything within dozens of miles was within his detection.
Ma Zhen also quickly rushed into the Dan Treasure Hall.
But soon, he rushed out of the Dan Treasure Hall and shook his head. "Wang Wei and Hong Yifeng aren't inside."
"I knew it!"
Bai Ziyue harrumphed. His Divine Sense floated. Before he drew the outline, an extremely complicated Spiritual Art was quickly executed.
Dharma Spell!
Backtrack Dark Light!
The Backtrack Dark Light was actually a unique Dharma Spell of the Xuan Qing Dao Sect in the Ancient Barren Region.
Back then, in order to collect acupoints, he naturally went to the Xuan Qing Dao Sect. Although he didn't obtain the Divine Power, the Sect Master didn't want to offend him. In addition, the item he gave in exchange was also very precious. Hence, he gave away this Dharma Spell that wasn't very powerful but was quite useful.
When the Dharma Spell was formed, a layer of spiritual light appeared in the void.
Immediately after, like flickering lights and passing shadows, scenes quickly appeared in front of his eyes.
"Freeze!"
In an instant, an image appeared in front of them.
"Yes, it's them."
Chen Fan didn't have time to be surprised. He looked at the appearance of the four people in the Dark Light and quickly said.
"Follow!"
Ziyue's expression didn't change, but he sighed in his heart. In the end, he didn't spend time to cultivate it. As a result, the Dharma Spell didn't reach the entry level. Hence, not only were the images displayed by the Dharma Spell a little blurry, but even the most important sound couldn't be heard.
However, being able to see the images was enough for them to determine the direction.
The three of them followed the direction of the four people and walked forward.
"The direction of this path seems to be towards Bixia Peak …"
Suddenly, Ma Zhen said in surprise.
Ziyue didn't answer, but he suddenly quickened his pace.
Then, the group of four stepped onto a stone step and disappeared.
"This is the foot of Bixia Peak. The Dharma Spell is blocked by the array."
Ma Zhen said with hesitation. "Master, what should we do next?"
Ziyue's face was gloomy. He put his hands behind his back and stepped onto the stone step directly.
Ma Zhen and Chen Fan could only follow after seeing this, but they felt a little uneasy.
This was the residence of Elder Elixir Lord. Not only was he an Elder of the Elixir Palace like their master, but he was also the candidate for the next Palace Master of the Elixir Palace.
Although in terms of Alchemy skills, Elder Elixir Lord might be far inferior to their master, after all, Elder Elixir Lord had a strong foundation. Not only did he have two Spiritual Herb Gardens, but his influence was also spread throughout the entire Elixir Palace. His Immortal Spells were also not weak and had already reached the Late-stage of the God Realm.
No matter how they looked at it, their master would be at a disadvantage.
"Who are you?"
The group of people went up the mountain and immediately attracted the attention of the two gatekeepers. They quickly jumped out and asked.
Ziyue did not answer. His eyes were calm, but he did not stop walking.
"I'm Ma Zhen of the Fire Spirit Peak. This is my master, Ziyue, Elder Bai, and my junior brother, Chen Fan. We took the liberty to visit you today …"
Ma Zhen braced himself and quickly answered.
"Elder Bai?"
The two gatekeepers were shocked and looked at each other. Although they saw that Ziyue's expression was a little unfriendly, they did not dare to stop him and let him go up the mountain.
After a while, the two of them shuddered and hurriedly activated the communication talismans in their hands.
…
"Steward Wang, is there really no problem this time?"
A slightly panicked voice sounded in a spacious courtyard.
"Don't worry. Think carefully. Did we force them to do it?
They were the ones who willingly accepted our suggestion to copy the Kunlun Pill Canon. They only have themselves to blame for the backlash from the restriction, so they can't blame us.
Even if the disciples of the Disciplinary Hall come and use the God Questioning Talisman, we don't have to be afraid.
At most, we'll be punished.
Moreover, you should know very well who is the one who ordered you and me to do this.
Senior Brother Wang Jingchen is not only the son of the Wang Family Patriarch, but also the true disciple of Elder Elixir Monarch.
In fact, the Wang Family alone is enough to protect you and me.
Moreover, the Bixia Peak we're at is Elder Elixir Monarch's residence. Even if Elder Dongfang and Elder Guohuo come, they would have to inform us in advance.
So, what are you afraid of? "
Immediately after, Wang Wei's extremely calm voice sounded.
"Although that's the case, I still feel a little …"
Hong Yifeng was still a little worried, but at this moment, he heard the sound of the door opening, and then he saw a figure rushing into the courtyard.
"Senior Brother Jingchen!"
Wang Wei hurriedly said.
"Greetings, Uncle-Master Jingchen."
Hong Yifeng also hurriedly said as he carefully observed the other party's expression.
"Ziyue is here … Make it clean."
Wang Jingchen glanced at Wang Wei and ignored Hong Yifeng. He quickly turned and left.
Hong Yifeng's heart skipped a beat as uneasiness rose in his heart. He hurriedly looked at Wang Wei and happened to meet the other party's vicious gaze. His expression changed drastically.
However, what greeted him was a flying sword and a ball of yellow flame that enveloped his head.
He was killed by the flying sword before he could even scream. Then, he was burned into ashes by the flame.
After killing Hong Yifeng with a single sword strike, Wang Wei's eyes revealed a trace of anxiousness. He quickly turned into another room, and three young cultivators who were delirious immediately appeared in front of him.
Without any hesitation, he attacked again …
…
"Hahaha, I heard the cries of the red-crowed cranes early in the morning. I knew there would be a joyous occasion.
Elder Bai, have you decided to agree to my proposal of cooperation? "
Perfected Elixir Monarch walked out quickly and laughed loudly.
"This time, it might not be a joyous occasion."
Ziyue said softly and looked up at him. He raised his voice and said, "It could be a disaster."
"Elder Bai, what do you mean?
Why did you come to my Bixia Peak to behave atrociously? "
Perfected Elixir Monarch's face darkened as he asked sternly.
