"It seems that the third elder must have finished refining the pill!"
Upon entering the cave, Lu Chen slled a faint scent of dicine, which was mixed with a unique aroma that was almost imperceptible.
"If I rember correctly, he used a Spiritual dicine called Rot Leaf Erosion for Alchemy!"
Lu Chen didn’t think too much about it, though he hadn’t studied "Spiritual dicine Identification" in detail, he still rembered most of the properties and principles of the dicines quite well.
There are a few Spiritual dicines that left a deep impression on him, including the Rot Leaf Erosion.
The nature of the Rot Leaf Erosion is extrely toxic and can be added to any pill.
Normally colorless and tasteless, it is difficult to detect when mixed into pills, but when the pills are freshly out of the furnace, they emit a unique foul odor, as if leaves were rotting.
Lu Chen took careful note of this and thought to himself that in the future, the pills personally refined by Gui Zhuo...
Must not be eaten!
"Lu Chen, have you co here to refine pills with this elder?"
After the Foundation Establishnt disciple escorted Lu Chen into the cave, he had already left, and Gui Zhuo smiled at Lu Chen and said.
"That’s right, third elder," Lu Chen said earnestly, "I am here on my master’s orders to ask for a Nourishing Spirit Pill from you."
"Nourishing Spirit Pill? Has brother seven’s soul been damaged?"
The body of Gui Zhuo shook, and his heart was filled with surprise. Zhu Chongjiu was currently favored by Danyang Zi, so who would dare to strike at him in secret and damage his soul?
"It seems so," Lu Chen quietly observed Gui Zhuo’s reaction and a thought quickly flashed through his mind. Judging from what he saw, Ning Changzhong was obviously planning to harm them. If he could also stir up discord between these two, it seed that after his departure, the opponent would be too occupied to pay attention to Zhu Chongjiu, thus allowing him to stay out of it!
"But I am not sure about the specifics, as master is usually sound and well, but suddenly he seed to have lost his spirit and his mory has also declined a lot."
"That must be due to soul damage. Could it be that he moved to Zhaixing Peak and beca overeager in his cultivation?"
Gui Zhuo wouldn’t reveal his speculations to Lu Chen; of course, his ambitions extended far beyond.
It wasn’t just him; except for Zhu Chongjiu, all the elders were waiting for the right mont.
The mont when Danyang Zi has to overco the heavenly tribulation!
As far as he was concerned, regardless of whether Danyang Zi could pass the tribulation, he certainly won’t be occupying the position of sect leader anymore.
And as the third elder, of course, he was also qualified to vie for the position of sect leader!
If he succeeded...
He could slowly open up the Casting Gear Pavilion for Alchemy and pass on his skills, making them flourish!
As for what the other elders were inclined to do, that Gui Zhuo didn’t know.
However, he had already secretly considered these elders as his competitors.
Of course, Zhu Chongjiu was currently an exception. Hence at this mont, he wanted to draw Lu Chen to his side!
"Lu Chen, are you in a hurry? If you’re not, I can have a disciple fetch a bottle from the pill repository and send it to your master."
The implication was that he wanted Lu Chen to stay!
Lu Chen had this intention already, so he went with the flow and said, "I am in no hurry, elder. Could it be that you wish to teach the Alchemy Technique?"
"Hahaha, Lu Chen, although you have a quintuple Spirit Root, you are too clever," he said, lowering his voice before continuing, "Under normal circumstances, it is right for you to be so sharp—after all, young people should be spirited! But at the mont, with hidden currents surging within the sect, it is ti to hide one’s talents!"
Lu Chen’s heart stirred. Could it be that Gui Zhuo bore no ill will towards him?
This ant that...
"What do you an by that, third elder?"
Lu Chen pretended to be puzzled, as if he didn’t understand the aning behind Gui Zhuo’s words.
"It ans that now you are favored by your master, you will inevitably attract jealousy from other disciples... If those disciples are envious of you, do you think their masters might..."
Lu Chen feigned shock, saying, "Impossible, right? Elder, you mustn’t scare !"
"Why would this elder scare you," Gui Zhuo’s pupils narrowed, and he said gravely, "You tell , why would your master be sound and well one mont, and then suddenly suffer soul damage? If I am not guessing wrong, he must have visited a peak of one of his junior brothers and got secretly hard! Your realm is still low, so you might not be able to see the signs!"
Lu Chen imdiately understood, and since he indeed wanted to incite discord, he adopted an expression of sudden realization and said, "Third elder, we had previously been to the eighth peak!"
"Ning Changzhong?"
Gui Zhuo was startled, which was beyond his expectations. Since he was on guard against the rest of the elders, naturally, his levels of attention varied.
Aside from the unambitious Zhu Chongjiu, Ning Changzhong was soone he had always overlooked!
He thought to himself that if Ning Changzhong dared to harm Zhu Chongjiu in secret, could it be that he was colluding with the Spirit Sound Sect, counting on them as his trump card...
