Chapter 217 Giving Gifts
"how?"

Ouyang Daoyong suddenly asked.

The eldest disciple Zuo Mu, who had been standing aside without saying a word, said respectfully: "He has the cultivation level of the Spiritual Origin Realm, a fire attribute technique, and also has the ability to refine his body. I didn't find anything special about him otherwise."

Ouyang Daoyong shook his head and said, "In that case, I won't ask any more questions. Even if there is a conspiracy, we have to swallow this poison from the Fifth-Rank Alchemist."

Zuo Mu nodded and said, "That's right. Master Qingfeng is old, and Zhong Lin's arrival has solved our urgent problem. Even if it's poison, so what? If you don't swallow it, you'll die faster. It's also possible that we're overthinking it. Zhong Lin might really want to cooperate with us."

"I hope so! The Seven Star Secret Realm is about to open. I hope to find enough spiritual objects to condense a spiritual fetus. Then you can share the pressure with me, and I will have more time to retreat and break through."

Zuo Mu's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he said in a deep voice: "In this secret realm, I will definitely be able to forge a spiritual fetus."

……

"Congratulations, Brother Zhong... No, I should call you Elder Zhong now."

Xu Youde was also smiling at this time, and his excitement was beyond words.

Being able to win over a fifth-grade alchemist for the sect is naturally a great achievement. Not only will he receive rewards from the sect, but he can also establish a good relationship with Zhong Lin. How can he not be excited?

Zhong Lin also smiled and said, "We will be fellow disciples from now on. Please take good care of me, Brother Xu."

"You've got it all wrong! It should be Elder, please take good care of me. When you refine pills in the future, please think of me. I want to break through the Spiritual Sea Realm as soon as possible!"

"Okay, okay. It's just Takuhai Dan. I'll study it later. As long as you have all the materials, I can practice it for you." Zhong Lin said proudly.

"That's great." Xu Youde said in surprise, "I've already collected the materials. Don't be afraid of failure. I've collected several copies!"

While chatting and laughing, the two of them arrived at the location of Huoyun Palace.

It’s not far away, just on another hill, a peak just east of Ziyun Palace.

The mountain rises from the ground, as powerful as a sword. The Huoyun Palace is at the top of the mountain. It is magnificent and golden, with pavilions, towers, high eaves and intrigue.

Seeing this scene, Zhong Lin was delighted and said with emotion, "How wonderful! Such a palace can be built on such a tall mountain. It is worthy of being a world with martial arts. It is really incredible."

"Greetings to the elders, greetings to Seventh Senior Brother."

As soon as the two arrived in front of Huoyun Palace, many servants came forward, knelt on the ground, and paid homage to them.

Xu Youde pointed at the people kneeling on the ground and said, "Elder Zhong, these are all servants assigned to you by the sect to take care of some miscellaneous tasks for you. If you don't like them, you can send them all away and recruit your own people in Ziyun City."

After that, he whispered in Zhong Lin's ear, "You can also recruit some inner or outer disciples to help you. Compared to outsiders, our own people are more obedient and stronger."

Zhong Lin raised his eyebrows and looked at Xu Youde in confusion.

Can you still play like this?

Xu Youde chuckled, "You are now a sect elder, and a fifth-grade alchemist. There are countless outer disciples, and even inner disciples, of the Purple Cloud Sect who want to curry your favor. Even the slightest benefit from you would be enough to benefit them for the rest of their lives. Naturally, they are willing to follow you."

Zhong Lin understood.

One wanted to curry favor with the elders of the sect, and the other needed someone to do things. The combination of the two led to the current situation.

Otherwise, after a few months of seclusion, you will find that all the spiritual medicines have died and you cannot even refine a pill, which means that this mountain cave has been wasted.

Zhong Lin nodded without saying anything, and walked on the top of the mountain, looking at the surrounding scenery.

The largest main hall is naturally the Fire Cloud Palace, but adjacent to it are pavilions and towers, all magnificent and splendid. Underfoot, there's a connection to the earth's fire, useful for alchemy. The only downside is that it's too deserted and lacks popularity, but there's no need to worry; one can raise some medicinal herbs and exotic beasts on this mountain in the future.

"somebody is coming."

Xu Youde pointed to the rolling clouds in the distance, and then saw several figures flying in the air.

There were also people rushing up from the foot of the mountain. The steep cliff was as flat as the ground under their feet, and every step they took could make them soar dozens of feet high.

The flying people were faster. Three figures fell from the sky. One of them was Mu Qing, whom Zhong Lin had seen when he went up the mountain before. There was a man on each side of her.

Xu Youde transmitted a message, "Elder Zhong, the long-faced man on the left is Second Senior Brother Qiu Ju, and the round-faced man on the right is Eighth Junior Brother Li Shang. They are both at the Spiritual Sea Realm. Be careful, Old Eight, he's a very sinister person."

The three of them landed, and Xu Youde smiled and bowed, saying, "Second Senior Brother, Third Senior Sister, Eighth Junior Brother, you are really well-informed."

The eighth brother, Li Shang, smiled and said, "Seventh Senior Brother, you are so unkind. If it weren't for what the eldest brother said, I wouldn't have known that our sect has added a fifth-grade alchemist."

After saying this, he stepped forward, bowed to Zhong Lin and said, "Li Shang, I pay my respects to Elder Zhong."

This person has a round face and always has a smiling expression on his face when he speaks, giving people the impression that he is harmless.

Zhong Lin also smiled and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Master Li."

"What's the use of calling me Young Master? Just call me Li Shang. This is our first meeting, so a small gift is not enough of a respect."

After saying this, he waved his right hand, and several streaks of light fell into the hands of a servant not far away.

"Thank you."

Qiu Ju also stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Qiu Ju, I'm honored to meet Elder Zhong. This small gift is not enough to show my respect."

He also waved and handed the gift to the servant.

"Thank you."

When it was Mu Qing's turn, she blinked her large, kazilan eyes, looked at Zhong Lin curiously, and said gently, "Old Seven is indeed right. You are truly a distinguished guest of Master. Elder Zhong, let's communicate more in the future!"

After putting the gift down, she took a step and flew into the clouds like a fairy and disappeared.

The other two also bowed and left without staying any longer.

This is not a good time to communicate, there will be plenty of time later.

shhhhhh!
Accompanied by bursts of breaking air sounds, people coming up from the foot of the mountain also arrived.

Before it was two men and one woman, now it is two women and one man.

The woman on the left has cherry lips and almond eyes, and a delicate face. Her forehead is adorned with a gold-studded flower ornament, and her hair is covered with golden beads and shining gems. She is wearing a red dress and a shawl on her arm. She has a delicate expression and a graceful figure.

The woman on the right is tall and thin, dressed like a man, wearing a dark blue casual suit, with long black hair tied up simply, and her clean and bright facial features reveal a heroic spirit.

In the middle of them was a young boy who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, with his chin slightly raised and his apricot-shaped eyes shining brightly like a starry sky, just like the boy next door.

Xu Youde transmitted his message: "Fourth Senior Sister Su Mengmeng, Fifth Senior Sister Lei Jun, Sixth Senior Brother Tong Ming."
