When Chen Huo awoke, he found himself lying on a bamboo bed in a wooden hut.

The room was simply furnished, with no modern amenities in sight.

The air is very fresh; we must be in the mountains.

"You're awake."

A cold voice rang out from the corner of the room.

Chen Huo looked in the direction of the sound and saw a middle-aged man dressed in a blue robe sitting on a bamboo chair in the corner of the room. He had narrow, slightly upturned eyes and thin lips, giving him a sinister, cunning, and mean-spirited appearance.

Judging from the voice, this person is the one who kidnapped me.

Chen Huo had a thought and began to circulate his internal energy.

It was found to be unimpeded.

He didn't even seal his meridians and acupoints.

Chen Huo's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he suppressed the urge to suddenly attack and hurt people.

We can't beat them.

This person is a sixth-level Emperor Realm expert; there's no way he could defeat him.

"Who are you?"

Chen Huo slowly got out of bed, glanced out the window, and said.

Outside the window is a dense forest.

"You are very calm. I haven't seen such an outstanding young man in a long time. It's a pity that you are too sharp and don't know how to hide your talents. You are still not shrewd enough." The middle-aged man stood up and said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Chen Huo frowned slightly and slowly walked towards the door.

He wanted to see where he was.

The middle-aged man did not stop him, but followed behind him, saying indifferently, "Oh right, I forgot to tell you my name. I am Zhu Junchen. You should have heard of this name."

"Is it you?"

Chen Huo stopped in his tracks and carefully examined Zhu Junchen.

Zhu Junchen was one of the most outstanding members of the previous generation of the Zhu family.

Known for his speed and agility, he is also a top-tier fighter.

The Goddess Pavilion's database naturally contains information on such powerful individuals.

I've also read Chen Huo's work.

The image of Zhu Junchen in the database is from when he was young, which is very different from his current appearance. However, upon closer inspection, his eyebrows and eyes are very similar, so it should be him.

It can only be said that time is merciless.

Zhu Junchen was stronger than Chen Huo and was skilled in speed and movement. Chen Huo knew that he had no hope of escaping from under Zhu Junchen's nose, so he could only think of other ways.

"The people cooperating are from the Yamamoto family, aren't they?"

Chen Huo withdrew his gaze and said.

creak.

He pushed open the door.

Before him lay a towering mountain range. Judging from the lushness of the trees, few people usually came here. He was in a simple courtyard, where many medicinal herbs were planted.

It must be someone's secluded place.

Chen Huo glanced around, unable to determine where he was.

Zhu Junchen didn't answer his question. Instead, he walked to his side and smiled slightly, saying, "I can confirm that no one can find this place, so you should just stay here peacefully."

Chen Huo ignored him and touched his pocket.

The needle case is still there.

My phone is gone.

The Flame Extreme Returning Origin Pill that he always carried with him, as well as the two Breakthrough Pills he used for personal purposes, were also gone.

It doesn't matter if the strong are lost.

The latter must not be lost.

Chen Huo was anxious, but showed no sign of it on his face.

With a hint of annoyance, she demanded, "Where's my phone? And where are my pills? If this is your attitude, I won't do anything for you."

Zhu Junchen kidnapped him for two reasons.

First, treating illnesses.

Second, alchemy.

The latter has the highest probability.

"If an ordinary person spoke to me like that, they would have died long ago. But you are Chen Huo, the Divine Physician of the Underworld, so you have the confidence to speak to me so rudely. But I still advise you not to be too arrogant."

Zhu Junchen put away his smile and said, his words carrying a clear warning.

"I threw my phone away a long time ago, and you know why."

As they spoke, Zhu Junchen took out two small porcelain bottles and asked, "What kind of pills are contained in these two bottles?"

"The Flame Extreme Returning to Origin Pill and the Pure Yang Pill," Chen Huo said calmly.

Describing the Breakthrough Pill as the Pure Yang Pill reveals no clue on the surface.

Zhu Junchen's eyes flickered: "What kind of effects?"

"The Flame Extreme Return to Origin Pill contains pure Yang energy, which can enhance strength in a short period of time. The Pure Yang Pill replenishes pure Yang energy without side effects and is used to replenish depleted pure Yang energy after taking the Flame Extreme Return to Origin Pill."

"real?"

"What, you're planning to steal them?"

"You underestimate me, Zhu Junchen. I'm here to ask you to refine pills, so why would I steal your things? Young friend Chen, here's your stuff back."

Zhu Junchen smiled slightly and returned both small porcelain bottles to Chen Huo.

He wasn't an expert in medicine, but he knew a little about it.

Both types of elixirs contain significant pure Yang energy.

Chen Huo answered fluently, and his expression showed no sign of anything amiss.

He then believed Chen Huo's words.

This elixir was useless to him, which is why he returned it.

He sighed inwardly.

Why isn't there a Body Tempering Pill?

Now it all depends on whether Zhu Yong can find the Body Tempering Pill in Chen Huo's villa.

Chen Huo took the two small porcelain bottles, opened them, and checked them. After confirming that none of the pills were missing, especially the two Breakthrough Pills, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and put them into his inner pocket.

Just then.

A young man walked briskly over.

Chen Huo glanced at it, his brows furrowing slightly.

Zhu Yong.

Back in Jinzhou, this man followed Yamamoto Juichiro.

Later, Yamamoto Juichiro died.

I haven't seen this person since.

"Dr. Chen, we meet again."

Zhu Yong greeted Chen Huo with a smile, handed the two wooden boxes in his hand to Zhu Junchen, glanced at Chen Huo, and said, "Something's not quite right. The Azure Marrow Cleansing Fruit and the Spirit Rhinoceros Dew Mushroom are only half left."

Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Chen Huo's eyes.

Zhu Yong must have sneaked into the villa and found the two medicinal herbs while Yu Ji and Gu Yingxue were chasing him. Clearly, it was all a carefully planned scheme, and Chen Huo secretly remembered this.

"Oh?"

Zhu Junchen opened each wooden box and looked inside, then turned to Chen Huo, his eyes gleaming: "What happened? How come half is missing? Have you already refined the Breakthrough Pill?"

Chen Huo calmly retorted, "With the Crimson Flame Heart Sunflower in your hands, what am I supposed to use to refine it?"

"What about the other half?"

"It was sent back to the Goddess Pavilion a long time ago. At first, the Crimson Flame Heart Sunflower was in the hands of the authorities, and they might not have been reliable. I can't put all my eggs in one basket, can I?"

Thinking of Yao Chong'an's betrayal, Zhu Junchen believed it to some extent.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yong whispered, "Second Uncle, Yu Ji did indeed leave Dingyang for two days a few days ago. She went to the headquarters of the Goddess Pavilion in Jiangcheng, probably to deliver medicinal herbs."

Zhu Junchen nodded upon hearing this.

I completely believed it.

"Let's make a deal."

Zhu Junchen looked at Chen Huo and smiled slightly, saying, "The Crimson Flame Heart Sunflower is enough to refine two batches of Breakthrough Pills. One batch is for me, and the remaining medicinal herbs are for you. What do you think?"

Chen Huo scoffed, "You kidnapped me here, and you're trying to talk about a deal?"

"What, you want to refuse?"

"No, I accept."

"Great! I like young people who know how to adapt to the times."

Zhu Junchen laughed heartily, his face full of pride.
