Lonely Immortal

In the following half a month, Zhang Zhiwen concentrated on studying the method of refining the spiritual energy powder. He didn't want to fail in refining it. These medicinal materials, as well as the lonely fairy fruit, were very precious. Medicinal materials over ten years old were okay, but three medicinal materials over a hundred years old were also very precious, and he had to find these three medicinal materials.

These three medicinal materials were all in the west of Qishan, a dangerous place called Qianshilin, where ferocious beasts were rampant and poisonous miasma was everywhere, which was more dangerous than Qishan.

However, Zhang Zhiwen felt that with his current cultivation, it shouldn't be a big problem to go to Qianshilin. Of course, it would take a long time to go there, so he planned to go to the Chamber of Commerce to pay this month's membership fee first, and then he could go to Qianshilin to collect the three hundred-year-old medicinal materials with peace of mind.

So, he came to the Chamber of Commerce's Foreign Affairs Hall, submitted some ten-year-old medicinal materials in exchange for rewards, and then went to pay a routine visit to his so-called master, Lin the Medicine Maker. However, as soon as he arrived at the main hall, he met Lin the Medicine Maker.

When Lin the Medicine Maker saw him, he just said lightly: "Come with me."

After that, he turned and walked towards the main hall.

Zhang Zhiwen didn't know what Lin the Medicine Maker was doing, but he followed him anyway.

Along the way, Zhang Zhiwen found that the atmosphere was a bit wrong. At this moment, many people had come to the martial arts field in front of the main hall, including Yan Ling and others, and Wang Kun's white-clothed disciples were also there. However, after the last incident, the two groups of people were also punished to face the wall for half a month. They were not so targeted at each other, but they just couldn't stand each other and didn't walk together. They were clearly divided into two groups.

In addition to the apprentices, there were also several medicine makers. Some of them were the first time Zhang Zhiwen saw them. They might be the masters of Yan Ling and others.

These medicine makers didn't seem to communicate much. They stood aside, as if waiting for something.

However, these people were not the ones that attracted Zhang Zhiwen's attention the most. Instead, Li Mohuan also came. He stood in front of a bronze tripod with several gray-clothed guards, his hands behind his back, and his expression was quite indifferent.

Seeing Li Mohuan here, Zhang Zhiwen couldn't help but be a little alert, wondering if Li Mohuan suspected something because of the last fight, and asked people to come over today to identify one by one?

But he quickly denied this idea. At that time, he was dressed in black and dressed like a swordsman. Logically, the other party could not guess his identity, and he was just a linen apprentice now, and the other party could hardly think that it was him.

In this way, he was relieved. It's not that he was afraid that Li Mohuan would recognize him. Anyway, there was no evidence, and Li Mohuan couldn't insist that it was him, right? Even if the Chamber of Commerce thought that Li Mohuan was right and that he, Zhang Zhiwen, was the man, so what? If it really came to this, he would give it up and turn his face.

Of course, Zhang Zhiwen thought it wouldn't be that bad, so he was very calm and followed Lin the Medicine Craftsman.

Soon, the apprentices and medicine craftsmen of the Medicine Hall came to the martial arts arena. These were the disciples of the Wuping County branch hall. The disciples from other counties didn't seem to come. There weren't many of them, just dozens of apprentices, a few medicine craftsmen, and Li Mohuan's guards. They didn't look like they were going to discuss anything important.

Not long after, Deputy Hall Master Hou also came. As soon as he came, he saluted Li Mohuan, and Li Mohuan nodded in response. It can be seen that the so-called Deputy Hall Master of the Medicine Hall is actually far inferior to Li Mohuan in status, but Deputy Hall Master Hou's martial arts should not be weak, otherwise he wouldn't be a deputy hall master.

His arrival made Zhang Zhiwen even more confused. What happened today? Why were all the disciples of the Medicine Hall called over?

At this moment, Yan Ling and others saw Zhang Zhiwen, but they did not dare to move or come over to say hello. Zhang Zhiwen naturally did not say anything, but he was more and more curious.

At this time, Deputy Hall Master Hou spoke.

"Everyone, I came here today to say something."

As soon as he spoke, everyone looked over. Deputy Hall Master Hou still looked calm and composed, which was in line with his temperament. He always had a scholarly air, which was indeed the style of a pharmacist in the medicine hall.

Then, he talked about the purpose of calling everyone here this time.

It turned out that Deputy Hall Master Hou planned to ask everyone to come and participate in a mission together, which was to go to Qianshilin to collect medicinal materials that were more than a hundred years old. As for the purpose, he did not mention it, but only said that once a disciple collected it, he would definitely be rewarded.

As for Li Mohuan and others, that was to help protect everyone along the way, and this matter was the decision of the Chamber of Commerce, so people like Li Mohuan were invited.

When the others heard the news, they were immediately excited, because in their opinion, with the deputy hall master and Uncle Li in charge, what was the Qianshi Forest? Wouldn't it be easy to collect hundred-year-old medicinal materials?

Not only that, the deputy hall master Hou, who usually doesn't show up much, and the pharmacist's action, can definitely let everyone learn more. This is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Even the several pharmacists are very happy, because it is rare for them to get the guidance of the deputy hall master Hou.

This mission is guarded by masters such as Li Mohuan, and you can learn from the deputy hall master Hou and get a generous reward from the Chamber of Commerce. Why not?

Except for Yan Ling and others, everyone else present was naturally full of joy, and even regarded this mission as something of the nature of a trip, especially Wang Kun and others. These rich kids rarely have the opportunity to go out for fun, but now they have the opportunity, so they are naturally more eager to try.

However, Yan Ling and others remained silent. They were all born in sackcloth and had experienced all kinds of intrigues in the world. They would never easily trust anyone, of course, including Zhang Zhiwen.

However, unlike them, Zhang Zhiwen was very confused in his heart, because the three kinds of medicinal materials mentioned by Deputy Hall Master Hou were actually the same as the medicinal materials he was looking for. He couldn't help but wonder, could it be that someone in the Chamber of Commerce also wanted to refine Lingqi Powder?

But this Lingqi Powder is used by people who cultivate immortals, and these people in the world can't use it. They don't have spiritual energy in their bodies, and taking it can only prolong their lifespan at most. But it is not suitable for Lingqi Powder to prolong life, and it is also a bit of a waste of natural resources.

But is there a cultivator behind the Chamber of Commerce?

When Zhang Zhiwen thought of this, his heart tightened. If there was a cultivator in the Chamber of Commerce, it would be a great threat to him. It doesn't mean that he can ignore the Chamber of Commerce just because he has reached the second stage of Qi Refining.

However, Zhang Zhiwen thought about it again and felt that it was wrong, because if there was a cultivator in the Chamber of Commerce, how could the Chamber of Commerce be only the third largest gang in Wupingzhou?

If there was a cultivator, the Chamber of Commerce would have become the largest gang long ago, because with the ability of the cultivator, it would not be easy to destroy other gangs, but at least it would not be difficult to suppress the heroes, right?

Because according to Zhang Zhiwen's understanding of cultivation, if the other party is a cultivator, it must not be lower than the first stage of Qi Refining, and there is a Chamber of Commerce as a backer behind it, then it is not difficult for the Chamber of Commerce to suppress the heroes.

But it is better to be safe than sorry. Another thing is that Deputy Hall Master Hou said that this time it was the Chamber of Commerce's intention, which means it must be related to the Chamber of Commerce's top leaders, and the herbs to be collected are the same as the herbs Zhang Zhiwen needs!

This matter is obviously a bit troublesome, because these three kinds of herbs need to be a hundred years old, and these hundred-year-old herbs are very rare. Zhang Zhiwen himself dare not say that he can find them 100%, but now it's good, and he is asked to participate in such a task. Even if he finds it, he still has to hand it in. How can he make pills?

Zhang Zhiwen was thinking in his heart at this moment, but there was no good way for a while. Now he could only take one step at a time.

Another thing is that he didn't believe that the Chamber of Commerce used a master like Li Mohuan this time. This mission would be a simple mission. It seems that the danger over there in Qianshilin must exceed his expectations.

When Zhang Zhiwen was guessing, suddenly, Li Mohuan looked at him.

Li Mohuan frowned slightly. He had seen Zhang Zhiwen before. He almost killed Zhang Zhiwen with a sword last time. He knew that Zhang Zhiwen was a sackcloth apprentice, ordinary, even the lowest disciple in the medicine hall, but for some reason, he always felt that Zhang Zhiwen looked familiar.

But he soon looked away, and even had a little self-mockery at the corner of his mouth. How could this sackcloth apprentice be that person? It was impossible.

Zhang Zhiwen also sensed his gaze, but he didn't react. He still stood honestly and respectfully, listening to Deputy Hall Master Hou talking.

Deputy Hall Master Hou also said some precautions, and then asked everyone to prepare well and set off early tomorrow morning.

After the matter was explained, everyone dispersed.

At this moment, Yan Ling and others hurriedly walked towards Zhang Zhiwen. After all, everyone was a sackcloth disciple, so they were naturally closer to Zhang Zhiwen.

"Haha, Junior Brother Zhang has grown stronger after not seeing him for a few days!"

Yan Ling came up and slapped Zhang Zhiwen on the shoulder. This guy's palm power has also improved greatly, and it really hurt Zhang Zhiwen.

"Big Brother, don't bully Junior Brother Zhang. Although he is strong, he can't stand your iron lock skill!" Zhou Wan likes to provoke as always.

"But you have to say, Junior Brother Zhang has indeed grown a lot taller and stronger." Li Xiaoqing was quite surprised.

Indeed, Zhang Zhiwen is now much taller and stronger.

But Li Xiaoqing's words immediately attracted the attention of one person, that is, Li Mohuan who was sitting cross-legged on the ground.

He looked at Zhang Zhiwen again, and this time, he frowned slightly.

Originally, he had already ignored these sackcloth apprentices. Anyway, few of these people could survive in the end. They either died on the way to collect herbs or died in the torture hall. Their lives were indeed as cheap as grass.

But Li Xiaoqing's careless words just now caught Li Mohuan's attention. The more he looked at Zhang Zhiwen, the more familiar he felt. However, he did not rush forward. Instead, he waited until Zhang Zhiwen and Yan Ling and others left talking and laughing, and then he slowly stood up.
