Rebellious Contract Beast

The atmosphere in the hall was silent for about ten seconds. The young man opened his mouth and said, "Chu Yun, this matter has passed. Don't be too sad. If your mother is watching you in heaven, she must just hope that you can live well."

"Yeah." He Jianchuyun responded softly and stopped talking.

After that, everyone in the hall fell into silence. Two minutes later, He Jian Chu Yun seemed to have finally calmed down and asked the young man, "How did you get to Jiangzhou? Did you get teleported from Hengzhou's teleportation array?"

The young man shook his head: "No, I came from Pengshan Pass to the south. It is convenient to activate the teleportation formation, but it is a government property after all. I am afraid that someone will target it. If the Xiang family's people find you, it will be troublesome."

"Just the three of you?"

"Well, with fewer people, the target is smaller, but with more people, it might cause trouble."

"Is that so? Then how long do you plan to stay in Jiangzhou?"

"I was able to get out of Pengshan Pass because there are people I know inside the pass. However, they will soon move their camp north to resist the demon cultivators coming south. Time is short, only half a month. We must rush there as soon as possible, so we can't stay for long. If we are late, we may not be able to return to Hengzhou. We should leave almost tomorrow."

"So early?"

"Well, it's too late to avoid complications."

"..." He Jianchuyun thought for a while, and then quickly asked, "Do you have anything to do?"

"Yes, in addition to coming to visit you, I also need to meet the local alchemist before I leave and purchase some elixirs to take back. Later, I may need your people to lead the way for us."

"The Zhao family is in great need of medicinal pills...right?"

"Yes, the supply has been cut off for more than a year," the young man sighed, and continued, "Before, you could still buy some at the Ghost Market, but now your third uncle has completely lost control of the Ghost Market. It is far from easy to buy pills from the Ghost Market again."

"Hmm..." He Jianchuyun let out a long groan, turned to look at Zhuhong and others, and gave them a wink.

Zhuhong quickly understood what her eyes meant, and knew that the words that followed were not for her to hear, so she hurriedly took Jiyue and the others out of the hall.

"Miss, we will withdraw first."

"Well, let's go down."

The young man frowned slightly when he saw this. Why did he send the servant away for no reason?
However, he reacted quickly and sat up straight the next moment, realizing that Tsurumi Hatsuyun might talk about something very important next.

"Chu Yun, what are you doing...?"

"Actually, there's no need to go through so much trouble. I have some medicinal pills here that you can take with you when you go back."

"What? How many pills..." Before the young man finished speaking, he saw He Jian Chu Yun take out several baskets from the storage space. The baskets were full of pills, including ordinary, fine and top-grade Beast Nurturing Pills, Yuan Pei Pills, Rejuvenating Pills and other kinds of pills all piled together, making people dizzy.

"This... is so much! Where did you get it from?"

"I happened to have some opportunities on the way to my aunt's house, and I was lucky enough to comprehend the Dan Fire."

"Oh~" the young man nodded. Originally, he was worried that the alchemists in Jiangzhou City would not sell him too many pills. He was afraid that there would not be enough pills when he returned to the Zhao family. He would have to ask around on the way to find where he could sell pills. After all, the pills that the alchemists could make were limited, and there would not be many left after selling them to the local families. And the half-month travel time was really tight.

And now, this worry has been completely solved. Just these pills, not to mention the abundance, are enough to sustain the Zhao family for four or five months.

As for where He Jian Chu Yun got these pills from, to be honest, he didn't care, so he nodded subconsciously and said "oh", but after reacting, he and the two Zhao family guests behind him stiffened for a moment, and then suddenly raised their heads and stared at her blankly.

I suspect I heard it wrongly.

"Wha...what?"

"Ms. Chu Yun, you just said... that you comprehended the Dan Fire? Is this... true!?"

The three of them stared at her with shining eyes.

Seeing this scene, He Jian Hatsuyun was inevitably speechless, but she didn't intend to hide it from them, so she nodded to confirm, and then responded: "Yeah."

"Why didn't you tell me this earlier! If you really comprehend the alchemy fire and become an alchemist... Sorry, I lost my composure."

"It's okay. I'll be a little abrupt. I'm afraid you won't be able to accept it right away."

"No, no, no, how can you not accept it? How long have you been comprehending the Dan Fire?"

"About a year, thanks."

"When we just escaped from Tsurumi Mansion?"

"That's about right." Tsurumi Hatsuyun nodded again. When she said this, memories of that time flashed through her mind.

At that time, I didn't have time to eat or drink in order to try to comprehend the Dan Fire, and Xuan Li, this heartless man, didn't even bother to share some of the food with me when he came back from hunting.

It was tough at the time, but now I think about it and miss it a little.

I realized the Dan Fire when I was at my wit's end. How can it be summed up by the saying "There is always a way out"?
At the same time, the young man from the Zhao family had no intention of looking at the pills in the basket. At this moment, he was shocked and overjoyed!

On the way, he never thought that He Jian Chu Yun would become an alchemist. What a great fortune this was!
"One year... Then, Chuyun, have you joined the Jiyuan Division?"

"This is not."

"Did you refine all these pills by yourself?"

"Ah."

"Then who did you sell the pills you made to?"

"The Chen family is one of the four major families in Jiangzhou City. Their situation is similar to that of the Zhao family. During this period, I have been providing them with elixirs every quarter." He Jianchuyun said truthfully.

After hearing this, the young man couldn't help but look at the two Zhao family retainers who came with him. There was no surprise at all, and they all had incredible expressions on their faces.

What could be a bigger surprise than having an alchemist in the family?

Although this alchemist is a bit far away from the master's house, the problem of obtaining elixirs has been solved.

This is the most important!
"Chu Yun, how many people know that you are an alchemist?"

"It shouldn't be many. The leader of the Tiger Gang, the three hall masters below, and the Chen family. But I don't know how many people in the Chen family know that I'm an alchemist."

"That's fine... After I go back today, I will report this to the family truthfully. I wonder if you have any objections, Chuyun?"

"Just inform my grandfather as soon as possible. If I can help him, Chu Yun will do my best."

"Don't worry, I will. But Chu Yun, you really helped a lot. I would like to thank you on behalf of all the members of the Zhao family..."

As the young man was talking, he walked to the middle of the hall and was about to kneel down and salute Tsurumi Hatsuyun in excitement, but she hastily stopped him.

"Cousin, what are you doing! Get up! You don't have to do this." "Chu Yun, the head of the family will be very happy to know this news. You saved the entire Zhao family!"

"Alright, alright, there's no need to do this. What are you two doing standing there? Hurry up and help your master up!"

"Yes, yes, Master, forget it. We are all family, there is no need to be so different."

After being persuaded by the two Zhao family retainers, the young man finally stood up, returned to his seat, and made a request to He Jianchuyun with an expectant look on his face.

"Chu Yun, can you let me take a look at your Dan Fire?"

"Uh..." He Jian Chuyun hesitated. It was not that she didn't want to show the other party the Dan Fire, but recently there had been some changes in the Dan Fire in her body, and it became very manic. If the Dan Fire before was a docile little white rabbit, then the Dan Fire now was a bloodthirsty beast walking in the mountains, ready to devour the prey it saw at any time.

All in all, her elixir fire is no longer as easy to control as before. Although it does not affect the alchemy, she is not sure what will happen if it is released.

She was also slowly figuring out how to regain control of her Dan Fire.

"what happened?"

"My Dan Huo is still in the transformation stage recently. I don't know if I can control it if I expose it rashly. Cousin, are you sure you want to see it?"

"Metamorphosis?" The young man was stunned for a moment. The alchemist's elixir fire did undergo a transformation with the improvement of alchemy skills and the influence of talent, but he did not take it too seriously. How long had it been since He Jianchuyun comprehended and awakened the elixir fire?

From an ordinary person's perspective, He Jianchuyun's Danhuo is most likely still at the ordinary level.

The Dan fire is transforming into red flame.

What big thing could happen if the Dan Fire is revealed at this stage?
So he nodded quickly: "Well, if Chu Yun feels it is inconvenient, then it is not impossible for me to come back another day..."

"Don't misunderstand me, cousin. Since you want to see it, I'll show it to you."

As He Jianchuyun spoke, he slowly raised his right hand, took a deep breath, and drew out the Dan Fire in his body bit by bit.

Seeing this, the young man and the two Zhao family retainers behind him widened their eyes and stared at her palm intently.

As Tsurumi Hatsuyun breathed, wisps of red flames began to gather around her palms and slowly formed a flame, like a flower, with a soft surface and as smooth as silk.

At the beginning, it was fine and no one felt anything was wrong. However, as more and more flames gathered, the color of the pill in He Jianchuyun's hand gradually changed, becoming darker and darker, especially the inner flame, which completely changed from red to purple.

From the moment the purple color appeared, the Dan fire began to become restless. It was no longer as calm as before, but was jumping wildly, emitting an aura of destruction.

"Wolf Brand!" The young man yelled out. At this moment, he could not find words to describe the shock in his heart. He was about to say something, but before he could speak, the Dan fire suddenly changed from red to purple in an instant, and the destructive aura became even stronger.

Violent purple flames began to spread in all directions, and the temperature in the hall was rising at an extremely fast rate, giving people a bad feeling.

He Jian Chuyun was also startled for a moment, then frowned, raised his other hand, and spiritual power flowed through his body, tightly wrapping the chaotic Dan fire in his hand.

"Hah~..." She groaned and cold sweat began to seep out of her forehead. She used her hands to continuously compress the Danhuo. God knows how much strength she used. Her pretty face turned pale.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Shen Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, ready to put on the Life God Armor for the old witch at any time.

Fortunately, there was no major trouble in the end. After two or three minutes, He Jianchuyun put his hands together and finally took back the chaotic and unstable Dan fire.

After doing all this, she was sweating profusely, as if she had run up ten mountains in one breath and was extremely tired.

"Chu Yun, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, thank you for your concern, cousin."

"That's great. Purple alchemy fire. You... you are actually a wolf-brand alchemist?"

"Ms. Chu Yun, is it true that you have only been comprehending the Dan Fire for a year?"

"Don't worry about it. I can help the Zhao family, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes~" The young man and the two Zhao family retainers looked at each other, but were so shocked that they were speechless.

Until the very end, when the young man said goodbye to He Jian Chu Yun and walked out of Mingyan Courtyard, his steps were light. He had seen too much today, as if he had had an extremely absurd dream, but when he pinched his face hard, it all seemed real.

The young man from the Zhao family had some things to discuss with Tsurumi Yanqiu at Qingshuisongyuan. Tsurumi Chuyun did not go with them, but watched them leave from the door.

After they walked away, she waved to Zhu Hong and the others and said, "Let's go back."

"Okay lady."

Zhuhong took the four maids to do their own things, while Hejian Chuyun entered his own alchemy room.

Shen Yi followed closely behind, and after the door of the alchemy room was closed and there were no other people around, he asked He Jian Chuyun: "Old witch, who was that person just now?"

"Zhao Liwen is the third son of my second uncle. According to our relationship, I should call him my cousin. What's wrong with that?"

"How many cousins ​​do you have?"

"What's so weird about this?"

Shen Yi paused and thought, wait, there seems to be nothing wrong with calling my uncle's son cousin. For an old witch like me who comes from a big family, and where intermarriage between families is very strong, whether it is the paternal or maternal family, she must have hundreds of cousins.

"Okay, have you made up your mind? Are you sure you want to help the Zhao family?"

"Yes, I can't just stand by and watch the Zhao family in this situation..."

"But you provided double the amount of pills to the Chen family. The Zhao family can't have less than the Chen family, right?"

At this time, He Jianchuyun had already set up the alchemy furnace. Hearing this, she turned her head and glanced at him. She was silent for a while, and soon understood the other meaning of Shen Yi's words, and said: "Okay, don't worry, I won't let you starve, huh?"

"There's the Chen family and the Zhao family. When will you be able to take care of me? Alas, it's inevitable to be hungry." Shen Yi nestled in front of her and said in a teasing tone. He Jian Chuyun raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and immediately replied unhappily: "How about this, if I starve you, you eat me, is that okay?"

Hearing that she was not in a good mood, Shen Yi paused.

But think about it, the old witch's uncle, Zhao Bingwen, had always been good to her and was the most important relative to her besides her parents. Now that she had learned of Zhao Bingwen's death, it would be strange for her to be happy.

So Shen Yi said, "I'm just complaining. Don't take it to heart, old witch. But if you provide pills to the Zhao family based on the Chen family's standards, it's like you're providing pills for four big families. Can you handle it?"

"I'm not angry... What you said makes sense. I may not be able to handle it. When we have time, let's go to Zui'an Tower to talk to Butler Xiao, okay?"

"Just watch it yourself."

"Xuan Li~"
