Volume 1 Chapter 800 Provocation
Kong Yun didn't say anything to the Emperor Demon G.o.d. Firstly, he wasn't sure if the person coming was good or evil. Secondly, if the person coming was going to harm the two of them, not directly attacking meant that they didn't have full confidence. There was no need to alarm them.
Along the way, Kong Yun chatted and laughed with the Emperor Demon G.o.d while his divine sense spread out to monitor the movements of the visitors.
After a long while, Kong Yun's one-armed palm unfurled, and a silver-white light enlarged from his palm and immediately sat on the ground.
"Why are you following us?" The smile on Kong Yun's face bloomed. Along the way, the artifact spirit and him worked together to construct this temporarily hidden s.p.a.ce formation, in order to lure these people in.
"Are you an alchemist?" The young man in white robes walked forward and stood in front of Kong Yun. His eyes were incomparably clear, unlike those of evil spirits.
"So what? No, so what?" Although his impression was not bad, Kong Yun did not want to explain his foundation so quickly. Besides, he was trapped in a formation but was able to stay calm. Kong Yun knew that this child would definitely become a great weapon in the future.
"I hope this brother doesn't misunderstand. I, Zhu Changqing, am from the Zhu Clan in Central City. I accidentally saw brother giving these two brothers medicinal pills outside the city, so I dared to ask."
Zhu Changqing's posture was very humble, and Kong Yun gradually lowered his guard.
"I am indeed an alchemist." Kong Yun nodded, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Brother, save my Zhu Clan!" Almost instantly, Zhu Changqing knelt on the ground, tears flas.h.i.+ng in his clear eyes as he pleaded with Kong Yun.
"Get up first. If you have something to say, speak slowly." Kong Yun was shocked by the scene in front of him and hurriedly helped Zhu Changqing up from the ground. Black Bear and Black Panther's complexion became even more complacent. The young man who had let them follow an eighth-level sage was still unconvinced, but they had heard of the name of the Zhu Clan for a long time in Central City. Even the Zhu Clan wanted to plead with Lin Lin like this, so what could they be considered to be?
"Brother, the pill refining compet.i.tion held by the Heavenly Pill Hall is about to start in three days. Our Zhu Clan has not achieved good results for four consecutive years. If this year …"
At this point, Zhu Changqing lowered his head, his expression gloomy.
"So what?" Kong Yun asked.
"The Heavenly Pill Hall will remove the name of one of the eight great clans of our Zhu Clan! Our Zhu Clan's elders have been searching day and night for someone who can save our Zhu Clan, but they have been fruitless. Today, they were fortunate enough to meet you. Zhu Changqing knelt on his knees and asked you for help!"
Zhu Changqing's words were very literal, but Kong Yun understood that he was asking for help to partic.i.p.ate in the pill refining compet.i.tion.
"I'm only a Tier 4 alchemist. I'm afraid I can't help you." Kong Yun waved his hand. It wasn't that Kong Yun didn't want to help. On the one hand, it was only a month before the marriage agreement between Shushan Sect and Xiang'er. On the other hand, there were so many capable people in the Zhu Clan. As a Tier 4 alchemist, he really wasn't enough.
"Brother, only people under the age of a hundred are allowed to partic.i.p.ate in this compet.i.tion. Although our Zhu Clan's elders are strong, our Zhu Clan has been experiencing a situation of being out of touch in recent years. Also, the rewards given by the Heavenly Pill Hall are very generous. Apart from some high-grade pills, there is also a rumor that even the Heavenly Pill Hall has not figured out the effects of a humanoid flower!"
Hearing Kong Yun's prevarication, Zhu Changqing panicked in his heart. He was also a Tier 4 alchemist, but he required three young alchemists to partic.i.p.ate in every clan! If Kong Yun did not agree, it would be impossible for the Zhu Clan to find another young alchemist in a short period of time.
"What did you say? A humanoid flower?!" Kong Yun's mind raced, and he immediately realized that the humanoid flower Zhu Changqing was talking about was the petty flower he had seen in the Heavenly Pill Hall.
"That's right. I heard from the elders that the flower is very wonderful, but the Heavenly Pill Hall couldn't find its use for a long time. That's why we held this alchemy compet.i.tion in advance to find someone fated for this flower." Zhu Changqing said.
Kong Yun pondered for a moment. He wanted the Little Renhua no matter what. According to the Old Dragon Turtle, he could use the black stone to break through to the ninth level of the Sage. At that time, he could use the Little Renhua to create an avatar and fight against the middle and late Undying Immortal Realm experts head on!
"Alright, I'll go with you." Kong Yun made a decision and put the Spiritual Array into his sleeve with a swing of his palm.
"Thank you, brother! Thank you, brother!" Zhu Changqing bowed three times in succession, which showed his sincerity. Black Bear and Black Panther's heart bloomed with joy. The matter of the Flying Flying Eagle Tower had always been in their minds, and it was a good choice to be able to temporarily avoid the spotlight in the Zhu Clan. As for the Emperor Demon G.o.d, he would go wherever Kong Yun went. This would never change.
They were all cultivators, and their speed was extremely fast. Although the middle city was vast, it was only a cup of tea's time before they arrived at the Zhu Clan's mansion.
"Second Young Master." The gatekeeper greeted Zhu Changqing flatteringly when he saw his figure.
Zhu Changqing saluted back one by one. Even Kong Yun was ashamed of being inferior to a gentleman. However, Kong Yun and the others, who were following behind Zhu Changqing, were stopped outside the door.
"These are the people I brought back to help our Zhu Clan partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion. What are you doing?" Seeing this scene, Zhu Changqing frowned. Just now, he blew Haikou to Kong Yun and said that he would be treated like a distinguished guest. As soon as he arrived at the door, he was stopped by someone. This made Zhu Changqing very embarra.s.sed.
"Second Young Master … the Patriarch has told us that he is meeting an important guest. No one is allowed to disturb him." The guard's expression was very awkward. Zhu Changqing usually treated them well, so they had no choice but to do so.
"What?! Do you know how important this alchemy compet.i.tion is to our Zhu Clan?" Zhu Changqing was so angry that his face turned red.
Kong Yun looked at the scene in front of him, only quietly watching with Emperor Demon G.o.d and the others. It was not convenient for him to interfere.
"Qing'er, stop messing around." Before Zhu Changqing could continue to lose his temper, an old and deep voice came from within the door, carrying an unquestionable domineering tone.
"Father, this is the pill refining genius I found. It meets the standards of this compet.i.tion. Our Zhu Clan is saved!" Zhu Changqing smiled happily when he saw the visitor's face.
"A pill refining genius?" Zhu Changqing's father glanced sideways at Kong Yun, then he turned his gaze away with a disdainful expression.
"No need. Give them some rewards. Let them go." Zhu Changqing's father waved his hand, then turned around and walked towards the door.
"Why, father? Have you forgotten the importance of this compet.i.tion to our Zhu Clan?" Zhu Changqing was very anxious. He understood his father's personality, and once he made a decision, he would rarely go back on his word.
"Because I found a more suitable candidate." Zhu Changqing's father turned around and said indifferently.
Originally, Kong Yun didn't want to interfere in the Zhu Clan's household affairs, but on the one hand, the petty flower was too important to him. On the other hand, Kong Yun was arrogant and asked himself that there weren't many people of his age who could compare with him in alchemy. However, Zhu Changqing's father said that someone was more suitable than him. Wasn't that a joke?
"Hahahaha, it turns out that the Zhu Clan's Clan Head is such a person without foresight. Alright, let's go." Kong Yun laughed out loud, intending to provoke Zhu Changqing's father.
Kong Yun knew that the most important thing for these clan masters was their face. It was absolutely unacceptable for them to be ridiculed by a junior in front of everyone.
"Doll, what did you say?" The Zhu Clan's Clan Head's expression was gloomy. Even the other Clan Heads wouldn't dare to ridicule him like this when they met him.
"It doesn't matter what I say. Since the Zhu Clan doesn't need me, I'll take my leave." Kong Yun cupped his fists, neither humble nor arrogant.
Kong Yun hadn't even taken two steps when a green-robed figure appeared in front of Kong Yun at an extremely fast speed and stopped Kong Yun and the others.
Kong Yun took a closer look. He was about the same age as him, and his appearance was quite delicate. However, he had a weak appearance. A long debate was placed on his shoulder, and he looked like a baby girl. However, Kong Yun could feel that this person was definitely a man.
"Heh, now everyone dares to call themselves alchemists. They are overestimating themselves." The green-clothed man looked at Kong Yun with disdain, his face full of pride.
"What does it have to do with you? Get lost." Kong Yun was a little annoyed. The person in front of him had the same strength as him. He was only at the eighth level of the Sage Stage. If he had the strength to fight, Kong Yun was confident that he could kill him in a single round.
"Patriarch Zhu, I want to compete with him." The azure-clothed man turned to face the Zhu Clan's Clan Master and pointed at Kong Yun at the same time.
Kong Yun sneered, "Compet.i.tion? What's the benefit of winning?"
"You won't win." Kong Yun was sizing up the man in green. The man in green was also observing Kong Yun. He was very confident in his pill refining methods.
Kong Yun's expression twitched slightly. This was the first time he had seen someone even crazier than him. "What if?" Kong Yun asked.
"Then you will be qualified to partic.i.p.ate in the pill refining compet.i.tion for the Zhu Clan." The green-clothed man pondered for a moment and said.
"Tsk, Zhu Changqing invited me to partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion. Besides, I didn't ask for it on my own initiative. This condition isn't very attractive to me." Kong Yun shook his head. Actually, Kong Yun was very fond of partic.i.p.ating in the compet.i.tion. After all, the petty flower was too important, but apart from that, Kong Yun also wanted to get something from the man in green.
"This is my spatial ring. There are a large number of rare spiritual herbs inside. If you win, all of them will belong to you." The azure-clothed man took off his spatial ring and handed it over to the Zhu Clan's Clan Master, intending to make him do justice.
The Zhu Clan's Clan Head was happy to do the same. After all, the stronger the partic.i.p.ants were, the better.
"Let's begin." Kong Yun nodded his head. The chips that the man in green took out were pretty good.
"Wait, now that I've taken out my chips, what if I win?" The azure-clothed man was relentless as he tilted his neck and looked at Kong Yun with a mocking expression.
"What do you want?" Kong Yun chuckled.
"I want your other arm." The green-clothed man said fiercely, and a trace of violence that did not conform to him surged onto his face.
Kong Yun was stunned for a moment, and then he was relieved. A playboy like the man in green liked to make a big commotion, and he was already used to it.
"Alright!" Kong Yun roared, and a green pill furnace appeared in front of Kong Yun.
