Pagoda Immortality

"Is there still no news about Wu Qi?"

In the depths of the Endless Swamp, in the underground Yinshi Palace, Mo Shang slowly stood up from his chair and said to the guard who was bowing in front of him.

The guard bowed his head and said respectfully: "Report to the Great Elder, there is still no news, how about... I send someone out to look for it?"

"No need." Mo Shang raised his hand, "Without my order, no one is allowed to leave here without permission. You go and call Ge Qiu. I have something to tell him."

"Yes, Great Elder."

The guard took the order and left quickly. After landing on the square, he quickly flew towards the first main road on the left. This main road is very long, and it is difficult to see the end at a glance. There are also huge stone chambers on both sides.

However, the guard did not walk for long before he stopped at the door of a stone chamber called Qianji Hall.

At this time

Inside the stone room, a middle-aged man in black clothes with a thin face was sitting in the main seat and discussing something with a dozen men and women sitting on both sides of the hall. When he saw the guard at the door, he immediately raised his hand to interrupt everyone and asked calmly: "Guard Liu, what's the matter?"

Everyone looked at the guard at the door.

Although this person's position was not as good as theirs, he was a guard in front of the Yinshi Hall, so he could not be neglected.

Guard Liu bowed slightly and said, "Master Ge, the Great Elder invites you."

Great Elder

Upon hearing this, Ge Qiu stood up from his seat and said to everyone, "Everyone, let's end today's meeting here. I'll go to see the Great Elder first."

After saying that, he hurried out of Qianji Hall without waiting for everyone to speak. He followed Guard Liu for a while before asking tentatively, "Brother Liu, do you know what the Great Elder wants to see me about?"

Although he is the head of a hall, the Great Elder has always been unpredictable. He might not be able to continue as the head of the hall in the next moment, so he wants to get some information so that he can be prepared.

Guard Liu shook his head and said, "This... I really don't know, but before asking the head of the hall to come, the Great Elder asked about Wu Qi. I wonder if it is related to this matter."

Wu Qi.

Hearing this name, Ge Qiu couldn't help but be shocked.

As the head of Qianji Hall, he is in charge of all external affairs and intelligence resources outside. Naturally, he knows what Wu Qi did when he went out. Moreover, their Qianji Hall was also involved in this matter, and there was a special person to assist Wu Qi in investigating the whereabouts of the two people.

But what is unfortunate is that more than a month has passed, but there is no clue about the two people.

Could it be that the elder is unhappy?

This is really troublesome!

Ge Qiu's mind was racing, trying to find a suitable reason to get out of this situation, but he couldn't think of a suitable way.

In a blink of an eye, the two had arrived at the door of the palace.

Ge Qiu saw Mo Shang's expressionless and extremely creepy old face from a distance, and he couldn't help but make up his mind. He rushed into the palace in three or two steps and knelt in front of Mo Shang, crying and shouting, "Elder... I am guilty... Elder... I failed you..."

He cried so miserably that Liu, the guard outside the door, and the man opposite were stunned.

Mo Shang frowned suddenly when he saw this, his eyes were like knives, and he stared at Ge Qiu suddenly, and shouted coldly: "Asshole! What have you done again!!!"

Me?

What?

Ge Qiu was stunned for a moment, thinking, didn't he come to me for Wu Qi's matter? Damn it, I'm just making myself uncomfortable.

If he was pretending just now, he was really crying now, crying because of his own stupidity. He pulled his sleeves and slapped himself twice, crying: "Grand Elder, I'm not doing my job well. I haven't been able to help Wu Qi find the whereabouts of those two people for more than a month. I'm guilty..."

"So that's what you're talking about."

Mo Shang looked at Ge Qiu dimly, thinking that this guy was quite honest. I hadn't planned to pursue him yet, but he came to ask for punishment on his own initiative, so he said: "Okay, considering that you took the initiative to admit your mistakes, I will punish you to go to the Punishment Hall to receive a hundred sticks!!!"

"One, a hundred sticks!" Ge Qiu was so depressed in his heart. He got himself beaten up for no reason.

"What?" Seeing that Ge Qiu seemed unhappy, Mo Shang's face darkened again.

"Ah, it's okay, I just think that one hundred sticks are too few."

"Oh? Really? You are very conscious, then you should go and get two hundred sticks!"

"Ah!!!"

"Hmm?"

"No, no, I'll go right now, right now." Ge Qiu didn't dare to say another word, for he was afraid that if he got excited and said "not enough", it would be troublesome.

Two hundred sticks, even if he was at the twelfth level of Qi training, he would be beaten half to death. If it was more, he might really be beaten to death.

After saying that, he was about to get up and leave.

"Wait!" At this moment, Mo Shang called him again.

Ge Qiu's heart was beating wildly, and he turned around, his face was uglier than his father's death, "Big, big elder... please give me your instructions."

"I asked you to find an alchemist, how is the matter of refining the corpse-raising pill going?" Mo Shang looked at Ge Qiu and asked calmly.

It turned out to be for this matter. Ge Qiu now understood why the other party asked him to come. He hurriedly bowed and said respectfully: "I have sent people to do it. I can find five alchemists within two months."

"Find someone to do it." Mo Shang thought for a while and said, "Corpse-raising pills are already in short supply. We can't be careless about this matter. To ensure that there are no mistakes, you will do it yourself. If there is any mistake, you will be beheaded!"

Ge Qiu's heart trembled, and he hurriedly accepted the order: "Yes, yes!"

When Guard Liu at the door saw Ge Qiu running out of the hall in disgrace, he couldn't hold it in any longer. He burst out laughing, causing Ge Qiu to look at him angrily before he forced himself to hold it back.

And Ge Qiu didn't stop when he left the main hall, and went to the execution hall obediently. Although he was asking for this with his bad mouth, the old man had spoken. If he dared not to go, he might go to the pit of corpses tomorrow. sleep.

...

The main residence of Jinyangfang.

"That kid is really hardworking. It's been three days since he came here and he hasn't come out yet."

At the stone table on the edge of the square, Wan Hongan, Li Xiuyun, and Jia Tong were sitting together chatting. Jia Tong suddenly looked at the Alchemy Tower and said with emotion on his face.

"Hey, young people are very motivated." Wan Hongan rubbed his fat belly with envy, "Unlike me, I don't want to do anything but eat."

Hearing this, Li Xiuyun frowned and said, "Huh, I think that guy is just cramming. Didn't Brother Jia Tong say that he refined the elixir five times before he could make it? It’s probably because I’m worried about being embarrassed when the time comes to actually take action.”

"Brother, don't say that. I have said that the quality of the elixir refined by Fellow Daoist Qin is much better than mine. If you say this, if Fellow Daoist Qin finds out, he will have to fall out with me."

"Falling out?" Li Xiuyun sneered, "I'm a sixth-level Qi practitioner, are you afraid of falling out with a kid who's at the fifth level of Qi training?"

"It's wrong for me to say this. It's not that I'm afraid of him. I just think that since everyone is an alchemist, it's inevitable to communicate with each other. Don't make the relationship too tense."

"Hmph!" Li Xiuyun stood up suddenly and said disdainfully, "I can't stand communicating with a mere little baby who is still young. I can't stand this old face. I don't agree with each other. I'm going back to rest first. When is the master? Find enough people and then call me."

Watching Li Xiuyun leave angrily, Wan Hongan and Jia Tong both smiled bitterly.
