Start flat, cut off the wife of the five-star empress

"Mr. Lu Yuan, the Lingjing grass and purple fruit have been delivered, please check them." The guard handed over two boxes respectfully.

"Thank you!"

"Mr. Lu Yuan, is there anything you need?" the guard asked respectfully.

"There is no shortage for now." Lu Yuan shook his head.

"In that case, I will take my leave first." The guard turned and left.

……

The next day, Lu Yuan came to Zhao's house in the south of the city again. Zhao Zhicheng had been waiting for a long time.

"My dear friend Lu Yuan, the spirit crystal grass and purple fruit are ready." Zhao Zhicheng said enthusiastically, his eyes flashing with brilliance, and he seemed a little impatient.

"Okay, let's find a place to make the elixir now." Lu Yuan said without hesitation.

"Yeah." Zhao Zhicheng smiled, then took Lu Yuan away from the Zhao Mansion.

……

There is a barren mountain to the west of Zhao Mansion, with beautiful scenery and quiet environment.

Zhao Zhicheng stopped at the foot of the barren mountain, looked up at Lu Yuan, and asked, "Friend Lu Yuan, the scenery here is nice and suitable for alchemy. Let's choose this place. What do you think?"

Lu Yuan glanced around and nodded: "Okay, let's choose this place."

"Let's start." Zhao Zhicheng said, then sat cross-legged on the ground.

Zhao Zhicheng's cultivation is at a fairly strong level. He has already entered middle age and his cultivation is considered average.

Lu Yuan also sat down, took out purple fruit and other medicinal materials, and began to refine the pill.

When Lu Yuan first started refining the elixir, Zhao Zhicheng noticed Lu Yuan's methods and techniques, and couldn't help but gasp, his face full of shock.

"He is actually a high-level alchemist, how is it possible!"

After a brief surprise, Zhao Zhicheng recovered and stared at Lu Yuan refining the elixir.

Lu Yuan's face was calm. This was not difficult for him and he quickly got into the state.

"What an exquisite fire control skill! This guy is no ordinary guy!" Zhao Zhicheng secretly admired.

About half an hour later, Lu Yuan finally stopped and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"What a nice smell! Lu Yuan, your pill smells so nice." Zhao Yuer was intoxicated by the scent of the pill.

Lu Yuan picked up the jade bottle, poured out a pill, and said with a faint smile: "The Condensation Pill is done."

"Wow! The Condensation Pill is ready?"

Seeing the red pill in the jade bottle, Zhao Yuer's eyes lit up and she said excitedly, "I've never eaten a Ningyuan Pill before. It's indeed a high-grade elixir!"

"Master Zhao, after taking the Ningyuan Pill, you can instantly absorb the medicinal power and transform it into true Qi, but it takes a certain amount of time to be fully consumed, so it can only last for two days at most." Lu Yuan explained.

"So that's how it is." Zhao Yuer nodded in sudden realization.

Although Zhao Yuer had never seen Ningyuan Pill, she had heard her grandfather talk about it.

"Master Zhao, have you taken it?" Lu Yuan asked curiously.

Ningyuan Dan can quickly improve one's cultivation, especially for warriors in the middle and late stages, the effect is best when taken by them.

Zhao Zhicheng nodded and smiled, "I've taken a few pills already, and I feel comfortable all over, and I'm seeing some signs of a breakthrough in my cultivation."

"There's no rush for this kind of thing. Just practice slowly." Lu Yuan smiled calmly and handed the Ningyuan Pill to Zhao Yuer.

"My dear friend Lu Yuan, this medicine is too precious. Yu'er feels unworthy to accept it." After taking the medicine, Zhao Yu'er frowned slightly and waved her hand to refuse.

"This Ningyuan Pill was originally given to your father, so it should naturally be kept by you. Besides, I promised your father to take care of you. This Ningyuan Pill can be your way of repaying me." Lu Yuan said with a faint smile.

Zhao Yuer was stunned. She had never thought about repaying the favor.

"Silly girl, this is a treasure, don't waste it." Zhao Zhicheng patted Zhao Yuer on the shoulder and smiled, but he cursed in his heart, feeling very disappointed. Zhao Yuer lowered her head, bit her lips lightly, and seemed to have made a decision. She said, "Well, Brother Lu Yuan, thank you. When my father recovers from his illness, I will double the compensation."

"Haha! Okay, then I'll wait and not disturb your father-daughter reunion." Lu Yuan smiled heartily, then said goodbye and left.

"Father, don't worry. Yu'er will practice hard and strive to reach the next level as soon as possible to cure your illness." Zhao Yu'er said confidently, her beautiful eyes firm and unwavering.

Zhao Yuer knew very well the extraordinary value of Ningyuan Pill, and was even more aware of its importance, so she had already made plans in her mind.

……

After leaving the Zhao family, Lu Yuan went straight to the Tianyun Mountains.

Lu Yuan stopped a thousand meters away from the Zhao family.

"Those guys are a bunch of old antiques, and they are very powerful. If you have no choice, you'd better not provoke them." Lu Yuan muttered.

The Tianyun Mountains are one of the three most dangerous places in the Northern Desert Kingdom. There are many monsters and beasts in it, and it is full of dangers.

"Whoa!"

A moment later, a dozen people came flying and landed beside Lu Yuan.

"Brother Lu, nice to meet you again. What have you discovered this time when you came to Tianyun Mountains?"

A young man in green asked with a smile. His name was Chen Yang, and he was about 25 years old. His cultivation had reached a strong level, and he was well-known in Beimo Elementary School.

"I didn't find it. I was just wandering around and trying my luck." Lu Yuan shrugged.

"Hehe." Chen Yang smiled awkwardly and then asked.

"Brother Lu, we are not wandering around like you this time. We are ordered to look for a vicious beast. It is said that there is a five-star vicious beast, the red-scaled tiger, here."

"Oh?" Lu Yuan immediately became interested when he heard the red-scaled tiger.

The Red Scaled Tiger is a five-star ferocious beast, and its strength is comparable to that of a human master. If one can kill the Red Scaled Tiger, one will surely obtain the top-grade weapon, the Red Scale Armor.

Lu Yuan immediately became interested and asked, "What does the red-scaled tiger look like? Where does it live?"

"Hey!" Chen Yang smiled mysteriously and said, "I have a detailed map here, do you want it, Brother Lu?"

"So powerful? Then show it to me quickly." Lu Yuan said in surprise.

"This is a map, take a look." Chen Yang spread out his palm and handed it to Lu Yuan.

"Is this the map? So precise."

Lu Yuan was surprised, and after taking a closer look, he was stunned.

The entire map was drawn vividly, with various routes marked and even many distribution areas of ferocious beasts. It was like a small sand table and was very accurate.

"Such precise painting skills are probably not something that ordinary people can do. It seems that they really have a lot of people hunting ferocious beasts."

After reading it once, Lu Yuan thought to himself.

"Brother Lu, let me introduce you to a few more people. They are all well-known masters." Chen Yang smiled faintly and pointed to the other seven people.

"I know all these people. They are all high-level alchemists, but they are all in the middle stage. Only this guy..."

Chen Yang shook his head, looking disappointed.

"Hey brother, are you new here?"

Seeing that Lu Yuan looked confused, a bearded man asked with a smile.

"That's right." Lu Yuan nodded awkwardly.

Although Lu Yuan is a high-level alchemist, he does not know these high-level alchemists.

"Since Brother Lu is a newcomer, I will introduce you to them." Chen Yang said with a smile. (End of this chapter)
