CH 15

"My home is in Baolu Lane, Dongchengmen, Xiaoliang. Tell my wife that there are two small goldfish in the third layer of pickled vegetables under the bed of the vegetable stall. Use them sparingly and they should last until Bao'er comes of age."

A middle-aged man with a face full of pimples suppressed his fear and whispered his last words to Li Huowang.

These were the medicinal herbs sent to the alchemy room today, but Li Huowang could do nothing about it except to remember these last words.

Watching him tremblingly enter the alchemy room, Li Huowang turned and left, feeling annoyed as he walked back.

This was already the eighth person, and as time passed, the number of people in the ingredients room continued to decrease. What made him even more painful was that he seemed to have become accustomed to it, and the guilt of sending people to their deaths was gradually diminishing.

He was being assimilated by the disgusting Danyang Zi, and he didn't want that.

Li Huowang urgently wanted to get rid of the abnormal and torturous situation he was in, and he was looking for a solution. But it wasn't easy to find one. It was almost impossible for him, along with some disabled people in the ingredients room, to deal with the mysterious and unpredictable Danyang Zi.

The only thing he knew was that the "Yao Lao Ye" controlled by Danyang Zi on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month did not exist, and he couldn't keep an eye on them. Another thing was that Danyang Zi couldn't read, and there was someone in Qingfeng Temple who helped him read the Heavenly Book.

"Should I go to Danyang Zi's residence and kill the one who reads for him? I'm the only one among his disciples who can read, and he can only ask me to translate the Heavenly Book. Then it should be easy for me to kill him."

This thought had just come to his mind when Li Huowang rejected it.

Although he knew where Danyang lived, he didn't know what traps were inside, and he didn't know how strong the person who read the Heavenly Book for Danyang was. If he rushed in recklessly, he might not even know how he died.

"Should I poison his medicinal ingredients? No, he taught me the alchemy skills, so it would be suicidal to do something like that."

As Li Huowang walked back, he kept thinking about new ways to deal with Danyang Zi.

Just then, a young man wearing a Taoist robe and a square scarf with a gloomy expression walked towards him. Li Huowang knew him. He was Zheng Kun, Danyang Zi's inner disciple.

Li Huowang didn't know much about him, except that he occasionally met him during meals and couldn't see him most of the time. Unlike the named disciples, he didn't have to worry about anything in Qingfeng Temple. Li Huowang didn't know what he was doing most of the time.

As the two passed each other, with Zheng Kun on the left and Li Huowang on the right, Li Huowang bumped into his body when he leaned against him. The moment he touched him, Li Huowang felt like he had hit a piece of iron.

Zheng Kun stood still, turned to him with a smile that didn't reach his eyes, and said, "Xuan Yang, you've been acting differently in the temple lately. Master is very pleased with you."

Li Huowang frowned and looked at him, but didn't say anything and turned to leave.

But before he had taken two steps, he felt a huge force behind him, pushing him out.

Li Huowang stumbled a few steps and stabilized himself for a while, finally avoiding falling flat on his face.

"What's wrong, Xuan Yang junior brother? Is my senior brother's words not good enough for you?" Zheng Kun, with his arms crossed, stepped forward one by one and asked Li Huowang in front of him."Zheng Kun, I still need to help Master organize the Dan materials," Li Huowang said calmly.

"Don't use Master to pressure me. Back then, I accompanied Master and we were chased by people. You don't even know where we were! Let me tell you, Xuan Yang, just do your job honestly and shut up about other things. Don't be so clueless," Zheng Kun's tone became even more severe.

Li Huowang didn't feel angry, but rather stared at Zheng Kun, seemingly pondering something. The other party was indeed as hot-tempered as Xuan Yuan had said, but wasn't this guy just impulsive?

"What? Cat got your tongue? Speak up!"

Li Huowang, who had been expressionless, suddenly became animated. His tone carried a hint of sarcasm.

"Master values me, that's his plan. Even if Master tells me the way to become immortal, it's his business. I'm afraid Zheng Kun can't control that," Li Huowang said.

Zheng Kun was stunned for a moment and didn't react at first. How dare he speak to him like that!

But when he came to his senses, he formed a hand seal with his fingers and poked Li Huowang's left rib through his robe.

"Just who do you think you are? Master didn't even tell me the way to become immortal. Do you think he would tell you? You're just a piece of trash!"

The intense pain almost made Li Huowang faint, but he smiled instead. He had guessed right.

"Ha ha ha, come on, kill me. Let's see what Master will do when he finds out that his disciples are killing each other," Li Huowang laughed.

As he watched Li Huowang's laughter turn into a manic laugh, Zheng Kun kicked him and pushed him against the wall. "Hmph! You're just a crazy person who doesn't know any better."

Li Huowang lay on the ground for a while, and then a pair of large hands helped him up.

"Hey, Xuan Yang junior brother, why don't you listen to advice? Didn't I tell you to respect Zheng Kun a little? Why did you provoke him?" The speaker was the kind-hearted Xuan Yuan, the only person in Qingfeng Guan who could talk to Li Huowang.

Li Huowang held his armpit in pain and said, "What? Can he kill me? Master's You Lao Ye is watching nearby. If any more disciples die in the sect, it won't be able to sustain itself."

"What You Lao Ye?" Xuan Yuan looked surprised.

He didn't know? Li Huowang suddenly had a thought. Maybe the others didn't know about Master's method of monitoring the entire Qingfeng Guan.

Recalling the two inner disciples who had died before, Li Huowang realized that these people might really not know.

"It's nothing. I'm just saying he wouldn't dare to lay a hand on me."

"That's not how it works. He's an inner disciple, and you're just a named disciple. Although he can't directly kill you, he can make things difficult for you. It's as easy as pie," Xuan Yuan said.

"Haha, my feet are small, so I'm naturally suited to wearing small shoes."While talking to Xuan Yuan, Li Huowang's eyes showed a smile. Just now, Zheng Kun revealed some information, which even as an inner disciple, he was not qualified to learn the immortal cultivation technique.

Danyang Zi is someone who nobody trusts.

That's not the point. The point is that he saw the other's eyes. When they just made eye contact, Li Huowang clearly felt the strong unwillingness in his eyes when he mentioned that he learned the immortal cultivation technique.

The disciples taught by Danyang Zi cannot be loyal to him forever.

This might be a point of use. He wants to try it out.
