Peeping into the Immortal Road

Chapter 69 Walk away
Chen Yinghu took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner panic.

He explained: "There is only one alchemist in the clan, and he can't make enough pills."

"So, I followed the usual practice and gave most of the pills to the alchemists in Cangyu Market to refine. However, the alchemists in Qiancao Pavilion were in seclusion during this period, so the pills they collected were a little short."

Chen Biqi's expression remained calm as ever. He slowly asked, "Qiancao Pavilion?"

At this time, Chen Qianzhou, the head of Cangyu Market, stood up and explained to Chen Biqi:

"Replying to Ancestor Lin, Qiancao Pavilion is an elixir shop in Cangyufang City. Their owner is a top-grade alchemist, but his life span is coming to an end in recent years."

"As for the young master, although he is not very old, he is already a mid-level alchemist. With his talent and skills, he is likely to become a top-level alchemist in the future."

"Top-grade alchemist?"

Chen Biqi nodded when he heard this, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes: "Talents like this should be used by my Chen family."

He looked at Chen Yinghu and said calmly, "Yinghu, after some time, go to Qiancao Pavilion in person and invite him to become a guest of my Chen family."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yinghu felt relieved.

He knew that as long as the ancestor spoke, the matter would basically be settled.

He immediately bowed and replied, "Yes, Old Ancestor, I will go there as soon as the Alchemist of Qiancao Pavilion comes out of retreat."

Chen Biqi asked again: "How long will it take to replenish the missing pills?"

"Half a month... ten days!"

Chen Yinghu gritted his teeth and said, "It will be ready in ten days at most."

Chen Biqi nodded, then asked about the family's preparations in other areas. After making sure there were no omissions, he began to speak.

"Go and prepare. In a month, we will officially start the war against the Wang family."

Ji Chang withdrew his gaze from the picture in his mind and sighed softly in his heart.

"The person who came here is not a good person."

Ji Chang didn't think that he could fool Chen Yinghu as usual this time when he met him.

After all, Master Mo Dan has been away from Qiancao Pavilion for more than half a year. If he walked fast, he would probably have left Jiaozhou.

When Chen Yinghu discovered that Master Mo Dan was not there, he would probably take action against him, and perhaps capture him directly.

Although he had the Green Snake Gu in his hand, he was not afraid even if facing an ordinary cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining.

However, the "Five Poison Fragments" that he practiced was obtained from Chen Yinghu.

As a cultivator who also practices the "Five Poison Fragments", and as the young patriarch of the Chen family, how could Chen Yinghu not have a few top-grade snake poisons on his body?

Facing Chen Yinghu, the Green Snake Gu in Ji Chang's hand not only had little effect, but it would be an even bigger problem if he discovered the martial arts he was practicing.

Moreover, even if Master Mo Dan was there, and they, the master and disciple, became guests of the Chen family, Ji Chang did not think it was a good job.

You know, the cultivator from the Chen family just said that all the guest officials and servants of the Chen family were poisoned by poisonous insects.

How can this be called a guest official?
Clearly a slave.

So Ji Chang looked outside the cave.

"Run away."

Ji Chang made a decision.

……

A few days later, Cangling County, Heishan County.

Pushing open the door and looking at the familiar house in front of him, Ji Chang felt quite emotional.

Unexpectedly, after five or six years of wandering, I finally returned here.

Now that the Chen and Wang families are fighting each other, the county seat of Cangwu County is not far from Cangling Mountain where the Chen family’s land is located, and the mortal lineage of the Chen family lives in the county seat.

It's not a good place to go.

As for the other seven counties in Jiaozhou, Ji Chang was not familiar with the surrounding environment, nor did he know how those Qi Refining families managed the mortal world. If there were cultivators in charge of the mortal world, wouldn't it be a disaster if he rushed in blindly?

Compared with this, it would be better to return to Heishan County, which is Ji Chang’s hometown.

He also stayed in the county town for several years.

I am quite familiar with the environment here, so it is much more convenient to run here.

Ji Chang was well aware of all the forces in the county.

There are no cultivators here, only ordinary warriors, and at most some wealthy families have a few low-grade talismans in their hands.

These pose no threat to him at all, and his safety is fully guaranteed.

If the cultivators from the Chen and Wang families actually came to this mortal city, Ji Chang could just slip into the Black Mountain near Heishan County.

This Black Mountain was full of dangers for Ji Chang, who was a mortal at the time, but for Ji Chang who has now reached the sixth level of Qi Refining, it is nothing.

What’s more, the Chen family had just organized a monster hunting conference half a year ago. In the outer areas of the Black Mountain, there are basically no monsters to be seen.

Walking into the courtyard, Ji Chang stretched out his hand and cast a dust-removing spell.

In an instant, an invisible force spread throughout the courtyard, gently sweeping away the accumulated dust and dead leaves, revealing the originally clean and tidy courtyard.

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the treetops, casting mottled shadows on the ground.

Everything in the house seemed to have regained vitality, becoming bright and fresh.

Ji Chang nodded with satisfaction, a faint joy welling up in his heart.

Immediately afterwards, Ji Chang's figure swayed slightly, as if a breeze blew by, and his appearance and figure began to change slowly.

His face gradually became ordinary, and the sharpness between his brows also dissipated, replaced by a gentle and simple temperament.

His figure also underwent subtle changes. His originally tall and strong body became thin, and his entire temperament was completely different from before, as if he had become a different person.

This is nothing more than a spell of disguise, although it is of no use at all to the spiritual sense search of a foundation-building cultivator.

If the practice is not done well enough, even a Qi-refining cultivator can sense that something is wrong.

However, to mortals, this change is flawless.

Their mortal eyes could not see through the mystery of this magic.

With this spell, he no longer has to use the disguise potion recorded in the "Hundred Flowers Medicine Record" to change his appearance as he did before.

"what?"

"Is Chen Yinghu here?"

Suddenly, Ji Chang sensed the image in his mind.

Chen Yinghu was seen walking to the backyard of Qiancao Pavilion and using his magic power to slightly disturb the formation covering the training room.

Then he bowed respectfully and waited for Master Mo Dan to appear.

Time passed by minute by minute, but he became more and more anxious.

He kept glancing around the training room, expecting Master Mo Dan to appear, but there was no movement there at all.

After waiting for half a day, Chen Yinghu showed a bit of impatience on his face, and cast a spell to blast towards the formation.

Afterwards, he saw that there was still no movement in the training room, and a look of suspicion suddenly appeared on his face.

In order to verify his guess, he quickly took out a cone-shaped magic weapon, activated his magic power, sacrificed the magic weapon, and broke the formation.

Chen Yinghu flashed into the room and saw only a letter, but no human figure.

Holding the letter, Chen Yinghu's face was full of confusion.

　Changed the title of the book.
