Since someone had already set their eyes on him, Lin Hao temporarily gave up on his plans to head to the Free Exchange Market.
Just a moment ago, Luo Yuan had purposely targeted Yuan Zhenggang, but Lin Hao did not think that it was Yuan Zhenggang who did it.
However, he did not have enough evidence on hand right now, so Lin Hao did not say anything and just watched.
After what had happened, Lu Xun, who valued Lin Hao greatly, did not personally come over to ask about it. Instead, he handed the task of investigating the mastermind to Luo Yuan to be in charge of.
And many people already knew, that Luo Yuan suspected Yuan Zhenggang and openly investigated Yuan Zhenggang, but, Yuan Zhenggang did not come out to explain anything either.
Lin Hao could feel that a storm was brewing within the Baohua City, and it would not be long before the storm arrived.
One day after the ambush, on the morning of the second day, an old, pale old man came to Pill and Treasure Pavilion.
This old man's status was extremely high, even if it was Pill and Treasure Pavilion or Chief Pavilion Master s, they would still have to be respectful and not dare be disrespectful in front of him.
Because, this man was the number one alchemist in Baohua City, Master Hua Zhong Hua.
Normally, Master Hua rarely came into contact with Pill and Treasure Pavilion, but this time, he only came to Pill and Treasure Pavilion to meet Lin Hao.
Luo Yuan personally brought Master Hua to find Lin Hao, and said: "Lin Hao, this is Master Hua, the first alchemist of our Baohua City, he had already advanced to the seventh stage a few days ago. Back then, when you were participating in the competition, Master Hua had the method to grow medicinal pellets in the second round, and the method was appraised by Master Hua in the end. Master Hua had come to look for you a few times, but just that a few days ago you were cultivating at the top of your Danta."
Luo Yuan did not know that Lin Hao had long ago come into contact with Master Hua.
"Lin Hao greets Master Hua." Lin Hao bowed towards Hua Zhong.
Little friend Lin Hao, you are my savior. A few days ago, because of your method of growing pills, I had some enlightenment and finally broke through my bottlenecks. I have come to find you to personally thank you.
Hua Zhong had been stuck in a bottleneck for more than ten years, and was always between the ranks of the top pill refiners of the sixth and seventh step. A few days ago, he had helped Lin Hao to appraise that method of pill refining, and took this opportunity to step into the level of a seventh step alchemist. This matter was known to many, and was not a secret.
"Master Hua, you're being too serious. Even without my pill techniques, with your vast accumulation of knowledge, becoming a tier 7 alchemist is only a matter of time." Lin Hao said.
Upon seeing this, Luo Yuan said: "Master Hua, Lin Hao, I won't disturb you two, I will be going now."
After Luo Yuan left.
Lin Hao and Hua Zhong still acted as if they had just met each other, and spoke politely.
Master Hua and Lin Hao began discussing about refining pills, and once they started to talk, the two of them went inside to refine Pill Room to interact.

"Reporting to Pavilion Master Luo, Master Hua and Lin Hao did not reveal any sort of difference, and are currently sparring pill refining techniques within their Pill Room." A middle-aged man came in front of Luo Yuan and reported.
Luo Yuan nodded, and said: "Mn, got it. Go and busy yourself with your own matters first. I will naturally look for you when I need you."
After the middle-aged man left, Luo Yuan returned to his room, opened up the underground passage, and entered the extremely concealed secret room below.
"Young Sect Master, I have already followed your instructions. Lu Xun has begun to suspect Yuan Zhenggang, and he will leave the investigation of Yuan Zhenggang to me." Luo Yuan said as he bent his waist towards the black robed figure within the secret room.
"What do you think of this Lin Hao?" The black silhouette said indifferently.
"Young Sect Master, I feel that this Lin Hao has a big problem. After entering the top level of the Danta for one month, not only did he succeed in refining the pellet, his fighting strength is extraordinary, and even the warriors at the third level of the Elemental King Stage that I had arranged for him were no match for one of his attacks. I suspect that the thing we are looking for is already in his hands.
"Mn, I've already decided, tomorrow I will make my move against this Lin Hao, at that time, I will need you to think of a way to tie Lu Xun and Yuan Zhenggang down, and then wait for me to take back what we want from Lin Hao's hands, then we will take care of Lu Xun and Yuan Zhenggang!"
"Young Sect Master... It's fine to deal with Yuan Zhenggang, but Lu Xun … "
I have a way. Thirty years ago, the people from our Ten Thousand Poisons Sect suffered heavy casualties due to the combined efforts of Lu Xun and Yuan Zhenggang. Once this matter is completed, you'll have the benefit of everything. I'll help you solve the problem of the Soul Devouring Parasite thoroughly. "
"Yes, Young House Master!"

Lin Hao and Hua Zhong were exchanging pill refining techniques within their Pill Room, and only in the afternoon did the two people walk out of the Pill Room.
Hua Zhong was the number one alchemist in the Baohua City, his status was revered, and since he had come from the Pill and Treasure Pavilion, it was natural that Lu Xun, as the Chief Pavilion Master, would have arranged for Luo Yuan to meet him.
After Luo Yuan left.
Lu Xun bowed towards Hua Zhong, and said: "I am truly sorry for dragging Master Hua into this,."
Hua Zhong waved his hand: "Pavilion Master Lu doesn't need to be so courteous. I only made a breakthrough because of Lin Hao's relationship with him.
Lu Xun nodded his head, and said: "Master Hua, I know that your relationship with Master Yuan is not that bad, and it is inconvenient for you to step in now, so I hope that you can help me pass this message to Master Yuan. I have never doubted him, but I am still hesitating whether or not I should make a prompt decision to strike a mountain and shake a tiger."
Hua Zhong smiled and said: "Pavilion Master Lu, aside from personally thanking Lin Hao when I came to Pill and Treasure Pavilion this time, there is another reason why I have come to visit.
"I wonder what Master Yuan thinks about this matter now?" Lu Xun said.
"Master Yuan does not have any good ideas, but he thinks that Lin Hao might have a way, so just now, I avoided some eyes and ears, and discussed the matter with Lin Hao. I feel that his way of handling the current situation is the most suitable way."
"Oh? I would like to hear more about it. " Lu Xun said.
Master Hua smiled and said, "Let nature take its course."
When Lu Xun heard these four words, he was stunned for a moment. His expression revealed a pondering look, and his brows furrowed slightly, but very quickly, his wrinkled brows relaxed, and he said: "Alright, then we'll let nature take its course, and let those hidden fox tails show themselves one by one!"

A storm was brewing, but Lin Hao appeared rather relaxed.
This person from the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect had already made a move on the Pill and Treasure Pavilion after coveting the whereabouts of the Time God Stone. With the clues from the Time God Stone, Lin Hao naturally would not stay out of this matter.
The Pill and Treasure Pavilion was strong, but the stronger it was, the more poisonous moth tumors it hid.
At a time like this, if he made a move ahead of time.
It would only alert the snake and would not be able to completely remove the moth tumor.
Because of this, Lin Hao allowed Hua Zhong to pass his thoughts on to him.
The best way now was to let nature take its course.
At that time.
Everything was dirty and dark.
They would voluntarily expose themselves in broad daylight!
