Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 137: Surrounded but not attacked, Mi Shuhua comes out (fifth update, please vote for me!)

 “Is it right?”

 “There are some differences, but the difference is pretty much the same!”

Zhou Yuanli looked solemn and reported all the information he had just obtained from another person's torture to Luo Chen.

 “Dajiang Gang!”

“The group of enemies besieging Xieyue Valley are basically from the Dajiang Gang.”

 “You should know the leader, Hall Master.”

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "I know him? It can't be that Gao Tingyuan!"

"Yes, it is indeed him." Zhou Yuanli said with a heavy heart: "Not only that, there are five enemies from the ninth level of Qi Refining alone, and the specific number of other monks in the middle and late stages of Qi Refining is at least more than that. A hundred.”

 Hearing this amount, even though Luo Chen was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but take a breath.

 What is the Dajiang Gang going to do?

This force has almost accounted for one-third of the strength of the Dajiang Gang!

Just to deal with the two entrances of Xieyue Valley?

Especially the Alchemy Hall and the Medicine Hall, which are not known for their combat prowess, but are just internal production halls.

“Did Gao Tingyuan come here in a hurry for revenge, or does the Dajiang Gang have other plans?”

Luo Chen thought for a while and asked directly: "Can I contact Elder Sikong?"

"I have his voice transmission, but the speed is too slow and I won't be able to contact him for a while. But I'm sure he's still alive."

If Sikong Shoujia can be recalled, Xieyue Valley's combat power will be greatly increased.

This kind of old monk may have no hope, but he is already extremely skilled in honing his fighting methods.

It is not comparable to Gu Caiyi, who has just been promoted to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

 “Get ready for defense first!”

Luo Chen ordered.

 “Hall Master, what shall we do with those two spies?”

 “Kill him.” Luo Chen said casually, looking unconcerned.

Zhou Yuanli looked stern and retreated.

After a while, Zhou Yuanli felt a little uncomfortable watching the two monks who were tortured to the point of dying and being decapitated by Dongfang Liang's sword.

Luo Chen's performance today was beyond his expectation.

Luo Chen usually gives people the impression that he has a superb talent for alchemy, is kind to others, and is friendly to others.

Although it is a bit cynical, it does not feel threatening overall.

 Harmless to humans and animals!

 These four words can sum it up.

 But Luo Chen’s performance today…

Whether it is deciding to let people in, easing internal and external conflicts, or identifying spies, taking action in a thunderous manner demonstrates the unusual and decisive methods under the usual gentle appearance.

 Especially when dealing with the two spies, he showed a ruthlessness.

This is almost completely different from the Luo Chen that everyone knows.

“No wonder the gang leader told me to pay more attention to Luo Chen, but I didn’t expect it to be so deeply hidden!”

Zhou Yuanli felt uneasy. He had contradicted Luo Chen before and ignored the other party's orders to activate the formation first.

The look Luo Chen gave him at that time, thinking about it now, really makes people shiver down their backs.

Just when he was worried, a younger brother rushed in.

 “Elder Sikong is back!”

 “Where?” Zhou Yuanli asked quickly.

 “Already entered the Xianyue Valley.”

“Damn it, who asked you to let him in directly!”

Zhou Yuanli's expression changed slightly and he ran out quickly.

 …

As soon as he arrived at the Alchemy Hall, he saw Sikong Shoujia sitting opposite Luo Chen and Murong Qinglian.

At this moment, the other party was in a very embarrassed state, and his whole body was covered with frost.

Even on his beard, there are ice ridges hanging on it.

 “It’s the robbery cultivator from Xuelianfang!”

Sikong Shoujia said breathlessly, and then stared at Luo Chen with stern eyes.

 “This is all your fault!”

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "Elder Sikong, what did you say?"

“Gao Tingyuan has always suspected that you killed his own brother, and the Jie Xiu from Xuelianfang who is chasing me is obviously the same Shan Xiu who failed to kill you last time and was wanted to kill you instead.”

 “You still said they weren’t here for you?”

Luo Chen chuckled lightly and said, "If you are just targeting me, you only need to set up an ambush on my way back to the city. Why do you need to go to such great lengths and send hundreds of monks to attack Xianyue Valley?"

“You must know that this is an enemy of the entire Poshan Gang and the leader of the Foundation Establishment Monk Mi Gang!”

Sikong Shoujia was stunned and reacted instantly.

yes!

Such a large battle was already comparable to the Dajiang Gang's attack on the Poshan Gang's Seventh Hall.

 Even more than that.

 The troops led by the five major Qi Refining Ninth Levels can almost sweep most of the small forces that are mainly in the Qi Refining Stage.

 Doing this can be regarded as an open enemy of the Poshan Gang.

You must know that the last conflict between the two gangs was completely resolved by sprinkling the blood of nine masters on the forum.

 However, how long has passed?

How dare they start fighting again?

Luo Chen didn't bother with him, walked to the cliff and looked into the distance.

  Outside the khaki mask, enemy figures have begun to appear.

The overall shape is fan-shaped, slowly surrounding the Xianyue Valley.

Just like making dumplings, unless you abandon the stronghold of Xieyue Valley and escape to the Xiaoyue Mountains behind you, you will be caught in a jar.

However, Xieyue Valley has been managed by the Poshan Gang for a long time, and the spiritual fields, medicine pavilions, and many medicinal materials inside must not be discarded easily.

 Especially, there is the most important alchemy hall!

It can be said that no one dared to abandon Xieyue Valley directly without receiving orders from Mi Shuhua.

From a distance, Luo Chen saw the short and strong man in the sky outside.

Regardless of whether the other party could see it or not, Luo Chen waved his hand.

 Are you saying hello?

 When did this happen?

Behind them, Zhou Yuanli and Liu Qiang looked at each other in confusion. The familiar Luo Chen seemed to be back.

“Hall Master, where is Elder Sikong…”

“Don’t worry, anyone can betray the Poshan Gang, but he will not.”

Luo Chen said without looking back.

 He was the one who let the little old man in just now.

 The reason why we have this confidence is actually very simple.

 The old man's son Sikong Yuanhong is the son-in-law of the Mi family, and his future is in the hands of Mi Shuhua.

If Sikong Shoujia himself still had hope for the road, he might be able to cruelly abandon his relatives and surrender directly to the enemy.

 But it is obvious that as he is getting old, he has no hope of success in this life.

This is exactly the case, anyone can betray, but Sikong Shoujia will not!

Luo Chen raised his hand and pointed at the streaks of escaping light in the sky outside.

He smiled pointedly and said, "Have you noticed that they don't seem to care about conquering Xianyue Valley?"

Liu Qiang was stunned. If he didn't attack Xieyue Valley, why would he be standing around?

Zhou Yuanli looked hesitant, as if he had thought of something.

Murong Qinglian and Sikong Shoujia also stepped forward and looked into the distance.

“I have also discovered that the previous encirclement outside has obviously been completed, but when encountering low-level monks from the Dan Hall and the Medicine Hall, they only focus on driving them away and rarely kill them.”

 “Bullshit!”

Sikong Shoujia was very dissatisfied with Murong Qinglian's words. He said angrily: "The guy who was chasing me just now was obviously ruthless and wanted to tear me into pieces!"

Murong Qinglian's expression froze, but then she realized something.

"Indeed, they did not attack low-level monks with deadly force. But when they attacked me and Caiyi, they had almost no reservations. If Caiyi and I hadn't both had defensive weapons, one of us would have died on the spot and the other would have been seriously injured."

 Because of the defensive magic weapon, one person was severely injured and the other was not injured.

Combining this information, Luo Chen was thoughtful.

“For low-level monks, we will mainly drive them away and surround them, while for later-level monks, we will kill them ruthlessly.”

“So, they’re just trying to corral most of us here.”

This conclusion surprised everyone.

 Don’t kill, just surround?

 What is this going to do?

Liu Qiang couldn't help but ask: "But our Poshan Gang is not a soft persimmon! Knowing that Xieyue Valley is besieged, the other halls will definitely come to support, and they will cooperate inside and outside. Their encirclement is a joke."

 “Not just the other halls!” Sikong Shoujia said flatly.

Zhou Yuanli took out a piece of jade and said, "I have sent a message to the gang leader. He will definitely come to save us."

 A group of monks in the Qi Refining Stage seem to be menacing. But in the middle stage of foundation building, in front of the monks holding magic weapons, they were nothing more than chickens and dogs.

 Compared to everyone who is full of confidence, Luo Chen is not so optimistic.

 Mi Shuhua is not in that good condition now. It is still uncertain whether he will take action himself.

 Moreover, how many other halls are there?

 In the Guyuan Mountains, most of the Tangkou who participated in the battle for the Jindan ruins suffered heavy losses.

 Like Luo Wudi, Zhang Shicong died directly.

The two hall masters who have been supported in the past half month have strength but no prestige.

Especially in those two halls, most of the masters died in the Guyuan Mountains.

 The most important thing is that they can think of this.

Can the Dajiang Gang not think of it?

Luo Chen looked at it for a while, then turned and entered the elixir raising room.

Sikong Shoujia looked at his back hesitantly, but saw that the door was immediately closed.

 …

 …

 Outside Xianyue Valley.

Five masters of the ninth level of Qi refining gathered together in one place.

“Why are we still standing here? Let’s just go in!”

 “Have a rest alone, be at peace and don’t be impatient.”

Shanxiu's face was ferocious, and he was no longer calm as before.

"You asked me to be calm and calm. I just asked that boy for tolls, but he lost three of my men when he changed hands. That's all, but the Poshan Gang even issued a wanted order to hunt me down."

 “I can hold it in, but my hands can’t hold it in!”

 Everyone looked at his left hand, where the palm should have been, turned into an iron claw with a cold light.

The monk wearing a golden robe couldn't help but smile and said: "This iron claw of yours should be a medium-grade magic weapon, it is quite unique."

 “Fu Zhang!”

"Okay, stop making noise. The order is to surround but not kill. How unbecoming is it to make a noise!" Gao Tingyuan, who was standing at the front, shouted in a low voice.

However, Shanxiu did not give him this face.

“You were the one who leaked information about Dan Chenzi to me, Gao Tingyuan! You want him to die more than I do, who are you showing off to?”

Gao Tingyuan was not as tall as him, but his aura was not inferior at all, and even surpassed him.

 Looking over with cold eyes.

“Then you messed up things in the first place, weren’t you the one who accepted you into the Dajiang Gang?”

“Why, challenge me now.”

"If you have the means, you can rush into the formation alone, capture Na Luo Chen alive, and humiliate him at will!"

Shan Xiu opened his mouth, glanced at the other figure who had not spoken, and finally spat angrily.

He was speechless, but Fu Zhang, who was wearing a golden robe, suppressed his smile.

 He was carrying a sledgehammer and leaning on the ground.

“Old Gao, it’s not a problem to drag it on like this. There are many experts in the Poshan Gang, and sooner or later someone will come to help.”

"When to launch the attack, give me time so that my brothers can figure it out."

Gao Tingyuan took a deep breath and tried his best to suppress the bloodthirsty impulse in his heart.

He looked around and saw that the monks from the Dajiang Gang were constantly patrolling and moving around, ensuring that no blind spots were left to prevent any monk in Xianyue Valley from escaping.

Even behind Xianyue Valley, he arranged a team of monks to send out a signal as soon as they found any trace.

 “Lao Gao, please give me an accurate letter!”

“Don’t worry, those people from the Poshan Gang won’t be able to come!”

Gao Tingyuan snorted coldly, gave a few instructions to his brother Lan Tianyun, turned around and walked towards the monk who had been silent.

　　A sound insulation note was played, and the two began to talk as if no one was watching.

  But the inside story is unknown to the other three.

 …

 The Mijia forbidden area is located.

There was a clicking sound, and then a pile of medium-grade spiritual stones in the corner turned into a pile of lime powder.

Mi Shuhua opened his eyes and breathed a long sigh of relief.

 Looking inwards, he nodded with satisfaction.

As long as the middle-grade spiritual stones can keep up, and with the help of this second-order spiritual vein environment, he can quickly recover from the injuries left in the Guyuan Mountains.

Not only that, after recovering from his injuries, his skills can even improve to the next level.

 At that time, there will be a lot to do in the late stage of foundation building!

　Mi Shuhua's face became unsightly when he thought of the Guyuan Mountains.

 “Miao Wen mistook me!”

“There is no opportunity to form an elixir at all. Although I was lucky enough to get a storage ring from the Supreme Elder of Ghost Valley, there is nothing in it that can help me form an elixir.”

“Because of these things, a lot of manpower and material resources of our Poshan Gang were wasted, and even I was seriously injured.”

 In the battle for the ruins, many foundation-building monks cannot say that they have gained nothing.

 But compared to the golden elixir opportunity that everyone was looking forward to, those gains were completely inadequate.

This is completely different from the news revealed by Deacon Miao of Jade Cauldron Sword Pavilion.

Mi Shuhua didn’t know what went wrong. He just wanted to recover from his injury quickly.

As long as he recovers from his injuries and with the help of a few treasures in the storage bag of the Supreme Elder of Ghost Valley, he can completely walk sideways during the foundation building period.

Even if he encounters a cultivator from the sect, he is not afraid!

“Fortunately, I discovered Luo Chen’s little trick, and it’s not too late to make amends!”

“He has now sworn an oath to work hard to refine elixirs for me. His monthly gross income can earn him 20,000 low-grade spiritual stones.”

“Luo Wudi and Yang Wei, who were supposed to share the profit, are also dead. Ke Yuelin and Sikong Shoujia all listened to me. In this way, I can share less.”

“With Luo Chen’s income, I can fully recover from my injuries in three months at most.”

“Even later, you can buy panaceas in large quantities to hit the later stage of foundation building!”

 When he thought of the huge benefits that Luo Chen could bring to him, his originally gloomy mood couldn't help but feel better.

He stroked his beard and planned to replace the medium-grade spiritual stone in the corner and continue healing.

 Suddenly, his expression changed slightly.

 A piece of sound transmission jade is emitting light intensely.

 “Xieyue Valley was attacked!”

 The next moment, he rushed out of the secret room.

 As soon as his spiritual sense was scanned, he immediately notified the Mi family members.

Soon, the later monks, led by Mi Junping and Mi Zifan, gathered over one after another.

 “Dad, what’s wrong?”

 “Grandpa, you are out of seclusion!”

Mi Shuhua glanced at everyone, paused for a moment at the man next to a woman, and then fell on Mi Junping.

 “Something happened over there in Xieyue Valley.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone’s expressions changed.

Mi Junping was shocked and confused.

Mi Zifan looked happy.

The middle-aged man next to Mi Junpei changed his face drastically. His father was the deacon of Xieyue Valley Dantang.

“The five major Qi Refining Ninth Levels, leading hundreds of monks, are currently besieging Xianyue Valley.”

Mi Shuhua said slowly, but there was no trace of anxiety on his face.

 Under his influence, the previously turbulent monks of the Mi family gradually stabilized.

Mi Junping said without hesitation: "Dandang and Yaotang are one of the two most important halls of the Poshan Gang, especially Dantang. The chalcedony pills refined this month are extremely profitable. We must Rescue!”

“It is definitely necessary to save, but how to save depends on strategy.”

Mi Shuhua narrowed his eyes slightly and immediately issued the order.

“Inform Wang Yuan, Zeng Wen, and Qiu Wu, who has just taken up the post of war hall, to lead people to rescue Xieyue Valley!”

Mi Junping nodded, turned around and went to inform others.

After he left, someone suddenly said: "Father-in-law, it should be faster if you go in person!"

Mi Shuhua smiled slightly and said, "Yuanhong, are you worried about your father?"

Sikong Yuanhong nodded quickly, with a worried look on his face. "My father is old and not good at fighting. I'm afraid something will happen to him."

"There is no need to worry about this. He has quite a lot of combat experience and is good at protecting himself wisely. He will not make any mistakes in the short term."

 “As for me to take action?”

Mi Shuhua chuckled lightly, "They are just some Jie cultivators who are fishing in troubled waters and taking advantage of others. The experts in the gang can handle them without my intervention."

 Hearing what he said, Sikong Yuanhong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Father-in-law, a master of foundation building, is so confident that nothing big will happen to him.

 In the last fight between the two gangs, Mi Shuhua, the foundation builder, never took action from the beginning to the end, but in the end, the Poshan Gang won a complete victory!

 But he didn't notice the shadow in the corner of Mi Shuhua's eyes.

 What kind of Jie cultivator who fishes in troubled waters can organize a strong lineup of hundreds of people?

 Suddenly, rapid footsteps were heard outside the hall.

Mi Junping left and came back!

She looked panicked and said, "Dad, it's not good. The other halls are also under fierce attack."
