The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 600 The Cursed Path of Evolution
Under the influence of the bells, Taoist Xuanqing's eyes kept switching back and forth between confusion and clarity. The two bells were using his soul as a battlefield, waging a battle for Taoist Xuanqing's sanity.

Soon, Taoist Xuanqing's eyes became clear and he smiled apologetically at Richard.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, sir. The injuries I suffered in that great battle have not fully healed yet, so sometimes I suddenly become confused for a while. What did you ask me just now, sir?"

Looking at Taoist Xuanqing who had absolutely no recollection of what had just happened, Richard became more and more curious about the person behind the scenes.

Although this small bell has not been sacrificed, the soul rules inside it are almost complete. Based on this alone, this small bell is better than most Taoist instruments and magic equipment.

But even so, Xiao Zhong still couldn't help Taoist Xuanqing regain consciousness.

The manipulator behind this Taoist Xuanqing is definitely not a small person.

"With the protection of the world's power, could it be that a world master has already been born in this world? But the world master is afraid of the power of the mad immortal, so he has been hiding in the dark?"

Richard felt that his idea was probably correct.

There must be more than one fragment of the fairyland in this world. As long as you hide in these fragments, it is not impossible to quietly become the master of the world.

"Since you have forgotten, there is no need for me to ask again. I agree to your deal, but the content of the contract needs to be modified. I will go to deal with the Crazy Immortal, but whether I can defeat the Crazy Immortal and how I can fight with the Crazy Immortal is not up to you to decide."

Upon hearing Richard's words, Taoist Xuanqing immediately showed a bright smile on his face.

"That's no problem. I believe that a powerful being like you can definitely kill that mad immortal."

After the contract was modified, the two signed it.

Afterwards, Richard asked Bai to collect some magical plants from the fragment of the world, and then left the fragment of the world.

After the deal was done, Taoist Xuanqing did not go back to Luo's house with Bai. Luo's house was an eye-catching place. If it wasn't for the deal with Richard, he would never go to Luo's house.

On the way back, Bai suddenly asked Richard, "Evil ghost, why did you sign that contract? Aren't you afraid of being taken advantage of by doing business with a coward who hides his head and shows his tail?"

"Boy, I remember I once told you my opinion on conspiracies and tricks. In the face of absolute power, all conspiracies and tricks will vanish into thin air."

"But the Crazy Immortal killed the White Wolf King. I read a lot of books a while ago. The White Wolf King was a terrifying existence whose every move could cause heavenly signs and whose every move could cause mountains and rivers to collapse."

"Reading is a good thing, but your learning conditions are too poor." Richard's voice was as calm as ever. "There is at least one creature like the White Wolf King in every world. When conquering a world, the first thing to kill is a creature like the White Wolf King."

"…Then why do you want to support the young master?"

"First of all, I just want to support a puppet, not necessarily him. If he doesn't want to, I will let him live peacefully until he dies. Secondly, supporting a puppet can effectively reduce resistance. Being ruled by an 'evil ghost' like me is a completely different mentality from being ruled by the same race.

Finally, supporting a puppet can give me an extra subordinate at the level of a world lord.

This is very important to me.”

Bai understood some of Richard's words. Supporting a puppet could speed up Richard's conquest and also make the puppet become a figure like the White Wolf King.

"I will persuade the young master."

"Oh? The guards are also beginning to have ambitions?"

“…This has nothing to do with ambition, cooperating with you is the best path for the young master.

The young master's future should be extremely bright."

……

After returning to the Luo family, Bai went to meet the young master first and recounted his trip.

"Fairy monster?"

The young master couldn't help but frown as he listened to Bai's description. Beside him, Miss Zhen also had a flash of shock on her face.

"Yes, according to the evil ghost. Immortals come from another world. Later, due to a terrible change, the world was broken, so the fairyland came into the world. And the immortals in the fairyland were twisted into monsters because of that change. And... he also said that Taoism was also twisted."

"The Taoism has been distorted? What kind of nonsense is that?"

The young master's reaction was almost the same as Richard's. Although he lacked sufficient knowledge, he was able to draw the absurd conclusion of this sentence with his simple wisdom.

"These are his exact words. I also cannot understand how Taoism could be distorted."

The young master thought for a moment, and finally shook his head and gave up thinking.

"We can't figure this out. You've had a hard time along the way. Now that you're back, take a good rest.

Uncle Luo told me that those companies have temporarily given up on my plans."

"Yes, my lord."

After leaving the room, Bai looked at Miss Zhen who followed him out.

"Miss Zhen, what can I do for you?"

He noticed from just now that Miss Zhen's eyes looked at him in a somewhat erratic manner.

Miss Zhen looked at Bai's artificial eye, was silent for a moment, and then said, "...Are you busy now?"

"No."

"Then could you please come with me? I have something to ask the foreign god behind you."

Bai frowned slightly.

"Miss Zhen, do you want to make a deal with him too?" Miss Zhen sighed softly, "If he can cure my master, I am indeed willing to make this deal."

"Your Master?"

Bai was stunned for a moment. He had been in the Luo family for some time, but he had never heard that Miss Zhen had a master.

"You'll find out if you come with me. It's just right, you can also take that immortal disciple back."

"...You lead the way."

Following Miss Zhen, Bai came to a stone gate guarded by armored guards. When the armored guards opened the stone gate, a road leading directly to the mountain appeared in front of him.

"Please follow me in. This is where I train my armored guards, so it's heavily guarded."

Following Miss Zhen, Bai came all the way to Miss Zhen's laboratory.

On the central stone platform of the laboratory, the man in brocade clothes was lying there obediently, not daring to move.

Bai was startled and subconsciously wanted to draw his sword.

"Hmm? How did you let it out? This thing..."

"He can't run away," Miss Zhen interrupted, "Once the immortal body of an immortal disciple returns to the flesh, we can prevent him from becoming an immortal by cutting off his meridians.

I have tested this on other immortal disciples."

"Other immortal disciples!?"

Bai looked at Miss Zhen with some surprise. He had personally experienced how powerful the children of immortals were, and Miss Zhen was able to catch a child of immortals without relying on evil spirits.

This guy is not a doctor, he is better than a real warrior like him.

In the laboratory, Richard used his artificial eye to look around this simple laboratory.

"It's OK. Although it's a little rudimentary, it can at least be called a laboratory. Ask her what she wants."

Bai relayed Richard's words to Miss Zhen, who said nothing more. She walked straight to the innermost part of the laboratory and opened a wooden door.

"Please come in. The person I want to save is inside."

Entering the room, Bai immediately saw the huge tumor in the center of the room. The tumor vaguely showed the limbs, but the huge and twisted body had completely lost the physiological characteristics of a werewolf. A strong stench filled the air, and the source of the smell was the twisted mass of flesh.

The smell was seeping from beneath its hide, like a living corpse.

Miss Zhen looked at the tumor with eyes full of sadness, "This is my master, he became like this because of practicing Taoism."

"Practicing Taoism is like this?"

As Richard looked at the tumor, the image of the Taoist corpse that it had dissected flashed through his mind.

The Taoist's body structure was also distorted, but not as severely as this tumor.

"Let her talk about this in detail. The existence of the children of the immortal family shows that Taoism can still be practiced. There must be other factors for them to become like this."

Bai relayed Richard's words, and Miss Zhen thought for a moment before replying, "The Taoist technique my master practices is called the Locking Life Technique, which is a Taoist technique passed down from the lineage of the Medical Saint. My master's grandfather, the Medical Saint, cultivated this technique to become an immortal body, and although my uncle had some problems in his practice, he also cultivated an immortal body.

Only my master, she practiced this art smoothly at first, but the more she practiced, the greater the changes in her body. But my uncle also had these problems when he practiced, so she didn't care.

When she finds something wrong, this method will start to work on its own and cannot be stopped."

"Tell her to bring the Taoist magic to me and show it to the Fire Spirit God."

Bai took out the Fire Spirit Cauldron, bowed to it, and summoned the Fire Spirit God.

"Miss Zhen, please tell this Fire Spirit God about your magic. It is a god created by immortals in the past. I think it can see the problem with your magic."

Hearing this, Miss Zhen was shocked, and then she was overjoyed.

"I'll write it right away. Please wait a moment."

Soon, Miss Zhen handed a stack of papers with bird-shaped characters written all over them to the Fire Spirit God. The Fire Spirit God opened his mouth and spit out a ball of fire, burning the papers clean. Then he was silent for a moment, and slowly said, "There is nothing wrong with your method, and there are no special conditions for practicing.

Judging from her skills, I can't see why she became like this.

But if you want, I can look inside her and maybe find some problems."

Miss Zhen bowed respectfully: "Thank you for your help, sir."

The Fire Spirit came to the flesh ball, opened its mouth and spit out a ball of flame, which turned into a fire cloth and completely wrapped the flesh ball. The tiny flames penetrated into the flesh ball's body little by little along the pores.

With the help of these flames, the Fire Spirit God saw the whole thing from inside to outside.

After a long time, flames seeped out of the tumor.

The Fire Spirit God looked heavy-hearted and said to Miss Zhen, "This is not a problem with the technique. She was cursed!"

"curse?"

Miss Zhen looked at the Fire Spirit in astonishment. This answer was something she had never thought of. But Richard's voice also sounded in Bai's ears at this moment.

"No, it's not that she was cursed, it's that the path of evolution of Taoism was cursed."
