My Daoist partner helps me cultivate immortality

No wonder I haven't seen the owner of this courtyard for several days.

Chen Bo's face was pale, and he spoke in an aged voice: "Young Master Chu is dead."

"He died at the hands of a Qingyang Sect cultivator; his death was gruesome."

"It's all my fault for being negligent!"

Uncle Chen said in a trembling voice.

Lin Ye asked in surprise, "Then the Qingyang Sect?"

The cultivator beside him whispered, "It will soon be razed to the ground."

"Leave no one alive, except those with the bloodline of exotic beasts!"

Chapter Thirty-Five: Furnace and Cauldron

Lin Ye never expected that Young Master Chu, with his background, would die suddenly in the Qingyang Sect.

One can imagine the fury of the elders behind this.

After the old demon emperor faked his death, the power of Demon Emperor Mountain declined somewhat, but it will also launch a counterattack.

The death of Young Master Chu at the Qingyang Sect is a perfect opportunity to make an example of him!

In the past two days, many people have come to his courtyard wanting to see him, but they have all been turned away.

Only Lin Ye, who was so familiar with the place that he was practically one of their own, managed to sneak in.

They also found out inside information that the whole courtyard is in a state of chaos.

Young Master Chu is dead, and all of his followers bear responsibility!

Just then, the gate was sealed shut.

A Golden Core cultivator, his face ashen, strode over and questioned Uncle Chen and the others.

not good!

Lin Ye frowned and stepped back behind the crowd.

He moved the Wanbaolou sign from his waist to a more prominent position on his chest.

After a while, the atmosphere in the courtyard became tense, and Lin Ye still hadn't found a chance to escape.

After questioning Uncle Chen, the Golden Core cultivator from Demon Emperor Mountain who came to hold him accountable began to question Young Master Chu's usual attendants, his tone stern.

Seeing this, Lin Ye took the opportunity to step forward.

“I’m your neighbor! Senior, if you want to inquire about Young Master Chu’s recent experiences, I can provide some information.”

The Golden Core cultivator was taken aback and asked Lin Ye a few more questions.

Lin Ye, with a natural expression, began to recount his experiences and observations related to Young Master Chu.

After understanding the situation, the other party glanced at the silver high-level guest token of Wanbaolou on Lin Ye's chest and immediately realized that this person was just a drinking buddy of Young Master Chu.

His expression relaxed slightly, and he politely said, "Thank you, young friend."

Lin Ye stepped forward and whispered, "Senior, are we going to set up a large formation to surround the Qingyang Sect later? Do you need my help in setting up the formation's core?"

"Wanbaolou will contact Yaohuang Mountain soon, and I may even get to meet with you then."

"And what about the Refiners' Guild... Senior, are you really going to spare no one except those with beast bloodlines? Can't you show any mercy? I have a Daoist partner..."

What an enthusiastic younger generation...

The Golden Core cultivator glanced at him helplessly.

Judging from his Qi Refining stage cultivation level, it's clear that he has absolutely nothing to do with this matter.

The Golden Core cultivator said with a stern face, "Young friend, you should leave first. If there's anything, have your elders come and talk to me!"

He then raised his chin, signaling the guard to open the door.

Lin Ye suppressed his joy and was taken aback: "I see... Thank you, senior. See you later!"

The door opened, and everyone stared expectantly.

The Golden Core cultivator shouted, "Everyone else, don't move!"

Lin Ye calmly thanked him, said a few words of "take care" to the entourage around him, and then walked away.

He became the only person to successfully leave the small courtyard.

Damn, I almost couldn't get away.

After leaving the courtyard on Demon Emperor Mountain, Lin Ye's steps were heavy.

What terrified Lin Ye the most was...

Could this have been orchestrated by someone close to Young Master Chu, a case of using someone else to kill someone in a power struggle?

Do they have a grudge against the Qingyang Sect?

It was the Great Wilderness Royal Court that was behind it... There might be something fishy about the death of Young Master Chu.

The truth behind it was not important to Lin Ye. Alarm bells were ringing in his mind. He pretended not to notice and quickly walked away from the courtyard of the Demon Emperor Mountain.

We must escape! We must escape with our master!

Looking back now, the shaman of the Great Wilderness Royal Court must have seen the deathly aura on Young Master Chu long ago.

Lin Ye's family consists of four members, but only his master is not of the bloodline of a mythical beast.

This was a major ordeal for her.

I finally understand how my master died in his previous life.

My master has very poor interpersonal skills.

Ultimately, he failed to grasp at the two potential lifelines, the Refiner's Guild and the Wanbaolou, and was left behind at the Qingyang Sect because he was not a cultivator with the bloodline of a strange beast.

Ultimately, it was destroyed in a single blow by a powerful being sent by the Demon Emperor Mountain.

Along with the vast lands of the Qingyang Sect, everything was erased from this world.

Lin Ye was in a terrible state.

"Master, oh Master... wait for me to save you."

Upon returning to Miss Wuzhu's house, Lin Ye pointed to his master's house, indicating that they should talk somewhere else.

The other person caught up with them, smiling, and said, "What, you don't feel safe at my house?"

"Now, can we talk about terms?"

Lin Ye took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

The two arrived at Gongshu Yan's courtyard, and Lin Ye turned around and asked, "Fellow Daoist, tell me your conditions."

"It's very simple."

The shaman arrived with a contract.

After reading the above, Lin Ye choked up.

They valued not his talent in weapon crafting, but his bloodline.

Your contract is even more ruthless than the Hehuan Sect's!

His gaze turned cold.

"Fellow Daoist, your price is a bit too high..."

The witch doctor shrugged: "The energy of Geng metal, plus the bloodline of the dragon race."

Do you think I can't see it with my eyes?

"Your bloodline is that of a five-clawed golden dragon!"

Lin Ye fell silent for a moment.

Wrong, wrong...

The shaman said, "It's alright if you don't answer."

"It's normal for people above to be eyeing such a bloodline; you're not at a disadvantage."

"Do you think I don't understand the market?" Lin Ye shook his head and said, "If I follow your contract, I'll die."

The shaman sighed and glanced at him: "Then, you can try to see if there are any other ways to leave."

Lin Ye opened the door: "Please."

"Farewell!"

The shaman raised both hands and said, "I'll take back this 'Northern Darkness Qi Observation Technique'."

Two thin streams of energy were withdrawn from Lin Ye's eyes, and the shaman turned and left.

Lin Ye remained silent.

The person standing behind the other party was a city lord from the Great Wilderness.

The conditions they offered were too harsh.

While I certainly need to cultivate with others every day, if I were to actually become a furnace for a Nascent Soul cultivator, my fate would definitely be death.

Too scary!

As for the "Northern Darkness Qi Observation Technique," obtaining it through such a quick method is useless. Fortunately, it's not like only this one Great Wilderness City Lord possesses this secret technique.

Let's wait a bit longer and see if we can negotiate a lower price, or find another way to leave.

The master slowly walked out of the workshop: "Lin Ye... what happened?"

"Did you see that outside...?"

Lin Ye turned his head to look.

The realization came during the conversation with the shaman.

Outside the Qingyang Sect, an array has quietly risen.

The indestructible advanced formation released a verdant light, like a giant bowl lid, enveloping the entire Qingyang Town.

As the top of the formation was fully formed, a melodious crane's cry rang out.

Not only Qingyang Sect, but also Sanbai Lane...

Even Qingyang Town, inhabited by millions of ordinary people, was shrouded in the array.

After the shaman returned home.

The communication talisman was activated.

"Elder."

"That rogue cultivator with the bloodline of the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon did not agree to our conditions."

The other party paused for a moment, then said, "Let's observe further. The Five-Clawed Golden Dragon bloodline, even if it's rare, is still very precious. Those important figures will like it. If it's suitable, then we can talk to him again."

"Yes."

.......

Qingyang Sect, Council Hall.

Inside the hall, a Golden Core expert from the Qingyang Sect angrily declared, "Another incense stick's time has passed!"

Originally, commercial negotiations for the Qingyang Sect's purchase of a Grade 3 flying boat were to be held here today.

However, the seller's representative did not show up.

The Golden Core Elder had reached his limit after arriving two incense sticks' worth of time late.

"This junior is courting death?!"

Beside him, Deacon Sun, who was accompanying Wanbaolou to the subscription meeting, looked distressed.

I can't put it off any longer.

"Senior, please calm down! There's no response from the communication talisman; there must be a problem..."

"Perhaps they encountered some bandits on the road. I'll send someone to look for young friend Lin!"
