The Fourth Financial Crisis

After hearing Tian Beixi's explanation, Yang Lu suddenly showed a look of enlightenment.

One Punch Man is also Superman.

No matter how weird Yin Huaiyuan's behavior is, as long as he shows the ability to easily kill a late-stage Jindan master, no one will dare to challenge the authority of the Arctic Cold Palace boss.

Although Elder Qu of the Hanguang Sword Sect did not know the truth about Yin Huaiyuan, his guess was actually infinitely close to the truth.

Nowadays, Yin Huaiyuan, the master of the Arctic Cold Palace, is a paper tiger. He only relies on the Karma Fire Devouring Spiritual Pill provided by the Shenhuo Sect to barely maintain his position. But since Yin Huaiyuan's injuries are all dependent on the help of the Shenhuo Sect to suppress and To conceal it, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Arctic Cold Palace has been secretly controlled by the Shenhuo Sect.

Thinking of this, Yang Lu continued to ask: "Other than you, the head of Hetian, who else knows about this?"

Yang Lu originally thought that Tian Beixi would give him a short list, but Tian Beixi's answer once again exceeded his expectations: "People who know about this may not say more, but they may say less!"

"What does this mean?"

"In addition to me and the head master, when Palace Master Yin discovered that there was something wrong with his cultivation method, he also spent a lot of money to invite several of the top weapon-refining masters in the Kyushu cultivation world to gather in the Arctic State, including the Northern Desert. Tong Xingu, the Supreme Elder from Zijin Pavilion, came to diagnose his injuries..."

Yang Lu quickly interrupted: "Wait a minute, why did Yin Huaiyuan seek medical treatment from the weapon refiner?"

Tian Beixi said matter-of-factly: "The Divine Weapon Body Refining Technique was born out of the traditional weapon refining method. Its underlying principle is to use the human body as the main material of the magic weapon for refining. Ask the weapon refiner to treat it. Is there any problem? Really? Even Palace Master Yin himself is a pretty good weapon refiner!"

This was so reasonable that Yang Lu didn't know how to refute it.

Seeing Yang Lu's speechless look, Tian Beixi smiled and continued to explain: "However, after these top weapon refiners analyzed Palace Master Yin's injury, they discovered that the underlying principle of how immortal weapons mobilize spiritual energy is different from that of ordinary people. The magic weapon is completely different. They can't even understand it. Therefore, all the weapon refiners think that Palace Master Yin is hopeless. However, these weapon refiners have also signed the strictest contract with the Arctic Han Palace to ensure that Yin will not be harmed. The palace master’s injury was revealed.”

"But the contract of heaven is not omnipotent. As long as the price of merit paid is high enough, exceptions can be made!"

"Yes, these weapon refiners must be some bold people who can't help but be tempted to leak this secret. However, seeing the strength shown by Palace Master Yin after taking the Karma Fire Devouring Spirit Pill, all rumors will be dismissed. Self-destruction!"

"Don't others think that Palace Master Yin is actually a paper tiger who relies on the Karma Fire Devouring Spiritual Pill?"

"The idea of ​​using Karma Fire Devouring Spiritual Pill to temporarily suppress injuries was originally proposed by a young weapon refiner from Qianjimen in Bei Mo Prefecture. Several other highly respected senior weapon refiners actually failed to think of this trick. Method."

Using poisonous pills to treat injuries was indeed an unconventional idea. Before Tian Beixi talked about it, Yang Lu had never even heard anyone mention the existence of such unpopular poisonous pills.

Since weapon refining and alchemy are two completely different subjects, ordinary weapon refiners don’t know more about elixirs than Yang Lu. There are probably not many who know the Karma Fire Devouring Spiritual Pill, let alone think of using it. Come for treatment.

This made Yang Lu couldn't help but be a little curious and said: "The weapon refiner who proposed using the Karma Fire Devouring Spirit Pill to suppress injuries really had a good idea. Decades have passed, this person should be quite famous now, right?"

However, Tian Beixi covered his mouth and chuckled: "On the contrary! I don't even know what this person's name is. I only know that because he knew too much, he was raped by the Shenhuo Sect and Beihan Han before he returned to Beimo State. The palace teamed up to kill people and silence them!"

Is there such an operation?

This Thousand Machine Sect weapon refiner originally only went to Arctic State to see a doctor, but unexpectedly he ended up losing his life!

Having said this, Tian Beixi spread his hands helplessly and said: "So now you know why no one can take you to see Palace Master Yin! The main ingredient of the Yehuo Spirit-eating Pill is the Spirit-eating Yehuo. The Red Stone Volcano can only... A complete ray is condensed, and each Karma Fire Devouring Spiritual Pill can only restore Palace Master Yin's strength for two days. This means that Palace Master Yin can only spare two days per year to meet outsiders, so he has no time at all now. To deal with less important matters, even I can’t bring people to see him casually.”

"I see!"

"Not only that, because of Yin Huaiyuan's physical problems, there are also undercurrents surging inside the Arctic Cold Palace. The Council of Elders composed of the late-stage Jindan monks of the Arctic Cold Palace has dismissed Yin Huaiyuan. However, these late-stage Jindan elders are not originally With one mind and fierce internal fighting, coupled with the fact that Yin Huaiyuan has always held the supreme power of the Palace Master of the Arctic Cold Palace and refused to let go, the current top management of the Arctic Cold Palace is basically paralyzed and unable to make any effective decisions."

Yang Lu couldn't help but smacked his lips and said, "You actually told me such an important secret so casually?"

"Is it as simple as just casually?"

This time, Tian Beixi's tone was obviously a little sarcastic, and he activated all his magic power again. However, this time, only two thin golden wheels of merit appeared behind Tian Beixi.

Yang Lu was stunned for a moment, and soon realized the seriousness of the problem: because he revealed Yin Huaiyuan's secret in private, a section of Tian Beixi's golden wheel of merit was cut off!

This is probably because the Arctic Cold Palace seeks help from the Shenhuo Sect, and Tian Beixi is the proudest disciple of Tian Daxiao, the leader of the Divine Fire Sect, and has always been known for his reliability and outstanding ability, so the Arctic Cold Palace does not dare to let her go crazy. The oath of heaven is too heavy, otherwise Tian Beixi might not even be able to survive the second golden wheel of merit!

Seeing this scene, Yang Lu couldn't help but be moved.

The Golden Wheel of Merit is the most important wealth for a cultivator, its effect is comparable to the spiritual root given by nature. Tian Beixi did not hesitate to waste the Golden Wheel of Merit to prove his sincerity. Even if it is used to repay Yang Lu for saving his life, it is more than enough. .

After a long silence, Yang Lu smiled bitterly and said, "If you do this, I don't even know how to face you!"

Tian Beixi smiled and said as if he didn't care much: "The Golden Wheel of Merit may be very important to others, but after all, I am a genius monk of the worldly sect. There is always a chance to make up for it, and that is my head master. Zun, it may be a little hard to fool."

Of course Yang Lu knew that Tian Beixi was just pretending to be relaxed.

If Tian Daxiao knew that Tian Beixi's elbows were turned out like this and casually told Yang Lu the core secrets of Arctic Cold Palace and Shenhuo Sect, it would have been possible for him to sever the master-disciple relationship with her.

"you……"

Yang Lu opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

However, Tian Beixi waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, my client is fine. Why are you, a grown man, still so coy? As long as you don't try to bully me with that stinky face in the future, I will thank God." Got it!"

Yang Lu nodded and said seriously: "If there is anything I can do to help in the future, I will definitely be happy to help!"

After receiving Yang Lu's promise, the smile on Tian Beixi's face became even brighter: "So you understand, meeting the injured Yin Huaiyuan is the biggest taboo in the Arctic Cold Palace. Even my Arctic Cold Palace mental method is also the biggest taboo in the Arctic Cold Palace." Elder Gong Chuangong teaches it on his behalf. Only when I deliver medicine to Yin Huaiyuan every year, can I say a few words to him, but when I deliver medicine, I can't bring you, an outsider with me!"

Tian Beixi had already said this, and Yang Lu had no other solution. He could only shake his head and said: "So, Palace Master Yin's injury is completely hopeless?"

Tian Beixi replied: "You can't say that. As I just said, Arctic Cold Palace has not given up on healing Yin Huaiyuan. Whenever a new genius refiner appears in the Kyushu cultivation world, Arctic Cold Palace will treat Yin Huaiyuan as a healer." We secretly invited him over for various reasons and let them see if there is any method they can use. Even if Yin Huaiyuan's injury cannot be cured, as long as it can provide some relief like the Karma Fire Devouring Spirit Pill, it would be great."

"Since Arctic Cold Palace has complied with Shenhuo Sect's demands, it means that Yin Huaiyuan probably hasn't found a better way yet!"

"Well, almost all well-known weapon refiners are at a loss to solve this kind of problem. Even the second weapon refiner who proposed the idea of ​​​​Karma Fire Devouring Spiritual Pill has not been found. As Yin Huaiyuan spends more and more time in retreat, the Arctic Cold Palace is now There are also some patients who seek medical treatment urgently, and even some genius weapon refiners who are only in the Qi Refining stage have been invited to see their patients."

"Looking for a Qi Refining cultivator to treat the Yuan Ying Ancestor?"

"With new people and new ideas, maybe they can come up with some ingenious ideas? At least Yin Huaiyuan should still have this illusion. I heard that another Qianjimen genius refiner has recently shown his prominence in Beimo Prefecture. Being targeted by the Arctic Han Palace, he will arrive at Hanguang City in a flying spirit boat in a while."

"With his mere Qi refining skills, he is favored by Arctic Han Palace. This Thousand Machines Sect's weapon refiner should also have something unique!"

"Speaking of it, this person's experience is quite legendary. It is said that this guy also emerged in the last extraterritorial battlefield trial. Not only did he invent a very novel fighting method, it can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the weapon refiner during the Qi Refining Period. , helped him kill seven or eight people in a row on the battlefield outside the territory, and cultivated two golden wheels of merit. After the battlefield outside the territory, this person transformed from the most inconspicuous low-level disciple to the direct descendant of the head of Qianji Sect, and married It is said that the legendary story of the senior sister who was snatched away by the Second Generation Immortal has been adapted into the script "Don't Bully the Middle-aged and Poor" by storytellers, and it has become popular all over Kyushu..."

As Tian Beixi was talking, Yang Lu felt something was wrong. Why did this bloody plot of "Don't bully the middle-aged and poor" sound so familiar?

"Wait a minute, is the Qianjimen genius weapon refiner you are talking about called Zhang Zhicheng?"

Now it was Tian Beixi's turn to be surprised: "Huh? How do you know Zhang Zhicheng? Do you also like to listen to people's stories?"

"Damn it, it's really him!"

Noticing Tian Beixi's surprised and inexplicable gaze, Yang Lu added in a dumbfounded voice: "You may not remember it. When you were captured by me on the battlefield outside the territory, there was a middle-aged man with an unlucky face next to me. That guy It’s Zhang Zhicheng, the Qianji Sect’s weapon refiner, and I gave him those two golden wheels of merit specially!”

Tian Beixi had a deep impression of Zhang Zhicheng, second only to Yang Lu's number one loser Xi Ziang.

This is not because Zhang Zhicheng's fighting ability is so amazing, but because this guy, like Yang Lu, almost never participates in battles. No matter how fierce the fight is in front, he just squats silently in the back to repair magic weapons. In addition, this person's His decadent temperament was so prominent that even if Tian Beixi wanted to avoid noticing him, it would be difficult for him.

After recalling this person, Tian Beixi also widened his eyes and said, "Is that guy with a depressed face Zhang Zhicheng?"

Yang Lu didn't say anything, but just spread his hands, saying that he had no random reasons.

Tian Beixi suddenly couldn't laugh or cry and said: "You can't find anything even after wearing iron shoes. It takes no effort to get here! If Zhang Zhicheng is a spy, it is indeed possible to meet Palace Master Yin. After all, he is a distinguished guest invited by the Arctic Cold Palace with a lot of money. As long as he can show enough skills in weapon refining, he should have the opportunity to meet Palace Master Yin himself!"

After hearing what Tian Beixi said, Yang Lu quickly asked: "What does it mean to show sufficient skills in weapon refining?"

Tian Beixi explained: "You also know that Palace Master Yin's injury is the biggest secret of Arctic Cold Palace, and it must not be known to outsiders. Therefore, the weapon refiners who go to Arctic Cold Palace to treat Palace Master Yin must first pass If you can pass the test of the Artifact Refining Hall of Arctic Cold Palace, you will have the opportunity to meet Palace Master Yin!"

"So how difficult is this test?"

"It's very difficult! As far as I know, in the past fifty years, the Arctic Cold Palace has invited no less than a hundred famous weapon refiners from all over the Kyushu, but in the end, only one master who passed the test of the Arctic Cold Palace's weapon refinement hall Zijin Pavilion is a genius at the foundation stage, and this genius weapon refiner is also at a loss to solve Palace Master Yin’s problem.”

"They are really strict!"

"It's just one reason to keep Palace Master Yin's physical condition strictly confidential. On the other hand, I feel that some people in Arctic Cold Palace don't seem to want to see Yin Huaiyuan's health get better, and just want to keep him in his current state..."

"You mean, the Arctic Cold Palace Artifact Refining Hall doesn't want to cure Yin Huaiyuan?"

"It may not be the Weapon Refining Hall that is causing trouble, there may be other people putting pressure on the Weapon Refining Hall... Anyway, the result is that the test in the Weapon Refining Hall is simply ridiculously difficult, and even many of the invited Weapon Refining Masters are complaining, saying Arctic Cold Palace is deliberately teasing them."

Thinking of Zhang Zhicheng's skill in weapon refining, Yang Lu hesitated and said, "This is a bit troublesome! According to Zhang Zhicheng himself, he has never received a systematic education in weapon refining, and the technology of repairing magic weapons was learned from others. He is 100% wild, how can he pass the test of a famous figure in the world of weapon refining..."

Tian Beixi was surprised: "You mean, this Zhang Zhicheng doesn't know how to refine weapons at all?"

Yang Lu nodded, acquiescing to Tian Beixi's guess.

Tian Beixi couldn't help but hold his forehead and said speechlessly: "I originally thought that we had found a shortcut to meet Yin Huaiyuan, but I didn't expect that in the end, the joy was in vain."

"Can you find a way to be accommodating and let Zhang Zhicheng skip the test and give it a try?"

"Yin Huaiyuan's physical condition is the top secret of the Arctic Cold Palace. With this Shangfang Sword, if Zhang Zhicheng cannot show strong enough skills in weapon refining, the Arctic Cold Palace Weapon Refining Hall will never let him see Yin Huaiyuan himself. , even if I come forward to vouch for Zhang Zhicheng, it is absolutely impossible."
