Chapter 333 The Last Hope
...
Nodded gently, Ou Chuyang said, "Tong Liang is back later. Please inform me that I will go up to find him."
Qiuna responded and said, "I know."
"Then nothing is wrong. Aunt Na can go and work hard. Time is very urgent for us. Be careful of everything." Ou Chuyang said.
Qiu Na looked at Ou Chuyang gratefully and said, "Thank you, Xiaoran, no matter what the result is, I will remember your kindness."
After Qiu Na said that, she turned around and walked out.
Looking at the gradually disappearing Man Miao's back, Ou Chuyang was slightly moved. It was not easy for a young man in his thirties to still fight for his family.
Four hundred? You will know what level you are.
Ou Chuyang smiled slightly, waved his palms lightly, and as a light flashed by, the strange-shaped "Medical King Cauldron" appeared in the center of the hall.
Looking at the four corners of the ground, the "Medical King Cauldron" like Fang Zun, Ou Chuyang's eyes flashed with a strange light of excitement.
Marin Auction House, in the underground secret room.
The nearly two hundred square meters of space is as bright as day. Here, there is no alternation between the sun and the moon, as if time is fixed, and the hall will always have the same light.
At this time, in the hall, Ou Chuyang leaned against the "Medical King Cauldron" with one hand, and a pure purple energy was continuously transporting into the cauldron. As the purple energy penetrated, the purple fire inside the cauldron was very strong, and the temperature in the air rose rapidly along with the surroundings.
The fine sweat was densely spread from the forehead and turned into beans and slowly slid down. Because Ou Chuyang was too close to the cauldron, the sweat beads had evaporated by the hot temperature before they even fell to the ground, turning into wisps of imperceptible water vapor, which filled the air.
This is the third hour after Ou Chuyang began to refine alchemy. Ou Chuyang has never taken it down since the moment he put his palm on the cauldron, because he knew that time is the biggest obstacle for him and Qiu Na now.
There are less than ten days left. Such a short time limit is probably Qiu Na's last hope. If a large number of "Juyuan Dans" cannot be produced by then, Qiu Na will have to watch the elixir market of Marin Auction House being taken away in Qipan Town. At that time, it can be said that the branch of the Marin Chamber of Commerce in Qipan Town will completely collapse, and Qiu Na has to go back to the headquarters of the Imperial Capital Family to apologize.
The long-term refining of pills made Ou Chuyang gradually feel weak. For three consecutive hours, this was not something that ordinary level 2 alchemists could easily do.
With the continuous supply of purple internal energy, Ou Chuyang obviously has much more endurance than those so-called alchemists of the same level.
Looking at the gradually solidified round pills inside the cauldron, Ou Chuyang's face slowly showed a gratified smile.
Due to time reasons, Ou Chuyang did not adopt a gradual practice of refining. With sufficient supply of herbal materials, Ou Chuyang threw twenty different kinds of herbs into the cauldron for the first time when he opened the furnace. Relying on his strong mental perception and deep internal energy, Ou Chuyang kept hitting his bottleneck. Many times, the materials in the cauldron had almost turned into ashes, but Ou Chuyang still controlled the purple flame at the critical moment, so that the herbs in the cauldron were not lost.
Everything is difficult at the beginning.
Ou Chuyang knew this truth. For himself who was refining the "Juyuan Pill" for the first time, Ou Chuyang knew the importance of this first furnace of elixir. He wanted to refine 400 pills in seven days, whether it was the refining of herbs or the balance point of the medicinal power when the elixir was formed, it was extremely important.
One day! Ou Chuyang must fully master the pill-making characteristics of "Juyuan Dan" within one day, so that he can refine more than 200 "Juyuan Dan" within seven days. Of course, if he wants to refine four hundred, he must use "Huayuan Qingswallow".
How precious is "Huanyuan Qinggu"? Ou Chuyang is very clear. According to his analysis, if a furnace of elixir is refined and the effect of a second-level elixir is used, only two to three "Huanyuan Qinggu" can be refined hundreds of "Juyuan Dans". Therefore, Ou Chuyang bet on these 400 "Juyuan Dans" for the last two days.
This is a big gamble, and what you bet is that you can master the "Juyuan Dan" in just a few days.
A faint orange light began to appear. Ou Chuyang knew that the pill had taken shape and controlled his excitement. Ou Chuyang closed his eyes and concentrated his mind, calmed his breath, and then withdrew from the cauldron with one palm and slapped it out.
"Ba~, swish~ swish~"
As Ou Chuyang beat hard, twelve rays of light of the same strength suddenly shot out from the cauldron.
With his hands swung at a very fast speed, Ou Chuyang grabbed the twelve pills that were shot out at the same time as quickly as possible.
Looking at the twelve "Juyuan Pills" in his hand, Ou Chuyang was quite satisfied with this result. After all, this was his first time to refine twelve elixirs from twenty pieces of materials, and the success rate of 60% is already very considerable. The following is a competition with time.
Taking a "Juyuan Dan" to help your internal energy reply as quickly as possible, Ou Chuyang walked to the cauldron.
"Ding~Ling"
Just as Ou Chuyang worked tirelessly to refine the next furnace of elixirs, a string of crisp ringtones recalled Ou Chuyang's ears.
"It's quite efficient." Ou Chuyang smiled and whispered softly.
In a hidden room at Marin Auction House, Tong Liang sat opposite a young man.
The young man was short and pointed, and he could tell at a glance that he was a figure of the three religions and ranks among the lowest level of the world. At this time, the young man's pair of small eyes were looking around with a slight eyebrow and a hint of fear and anxiety revealed in his eyes.
The young man is named Ma Liu, who is a thief in Qipan Town. He was born as an orphan and has been living in Qipan Town since he was a child. For more than ten years, Ma Liu has developed a pair of "smart eyes". He can instantly see whether a person is rich and can also judge a person's personality in simple words. This is a unique ability for people like them.
The rat eyes swept through Tong Liang, and Ma Liu shivered in his heart again, "What did he call me here for? I didn't seem to provoke him." He thought in his heart. No matter how hard he thought about it, Ma Liu couldn't think of when he provoked such a person.
Ma Liu knew Tong Liang because in Qipan Town, Tong Liang's Renyi Mercenary Group was quite famous. Although Tong Liang's strength was inferior to martial artists, as an ordinary person, Ma Liu still couldn't afford to provoke him.
Just now, Tong Liang found Ma Liu and took him to the Malin Auction House without saying a word. He felt the aura that ordinary people had never possessed on Tong Liang's body. Ma Liu knew that people like this would never resist, otherwise God knew what method he would use to send him to hell. Ordinary people would be subject to law to kill, and killing by practitioners was another matter.
"Boss, just say something if you have something to do." Ma Liu looked at Tong Liang from time to time. At this moment, Ma Liu was very anxious. Since Tong Liang came here, he has never said the first half. Even though Ma Liu knew that he must have something to look for him, the other party has not spitted, so he didn't make him anxious.
Ma Liu was confused, and Tong Liang was even more confused.
Staring at Ma Liu with contempt, Tong Liang kept an expression of disgust on his face.
Tong Liang knew Ma Liu. There were many small characters with "three hands" on him. However, Ma Liu was famous. Such people were flattering, making tricks when they were in trouble, and they were beneficial. They had no skill. Although they would not kill and set fire, their private actions were enough to make people despise them. However, this kind of person lives more interesting than the farmers who worked hard outside the city. Tong Liang looked down on such people, and did not want to have any connection with such people, but Ou Chuyang asked him to bring him here. Tong Liang was very confused about this.
"Hehe, Mr. Tong, what's the matter with calling Xiaodi? Don't worry, as long as the young can do it, you will definitely go to Daoshan and go down the oil pan without frowning. However, the gentleman has not spoken, and Xiaodi is a little scared." Ma Liu couldn't stand the dull atmosphere in the house and took the lead in speaking to Tong Liang.
Unfortunately, Tong Liang didn't want to talk to him at all. He just shouted "Shut up" and Ma Liu was immediately stunned.
The room was silent for a while, so dull.
"Squeak~"
Just as Ma Liu was sweating profusely and was at a loss, a sound of opening the door suddenly rang out.
To Maliu, this sound is very pleasant.
The mouse's eyes opened slightly, and Ma Liu turned his gaze to the door, waiting for the person who opened the door to come in.
Hearing the door, Tong Liang slowly stood up and turned to the door.
Seeing Tong Liang stand up, he found dozens of experiences in the lower levels of the world and told him that the person coming was probably the protagonist he was going to meet this time. Therefore, Ma Liu did not dare to neglect and stood up in a hurry.
Under the focus of the two, a tall and handsome boy appeared.
As soon as he saw the person, Ma Liu immediately felt familiar. He seemed to have seen this face somewhere. In Qipan Town, from nobles and wealthy businessmen, martial artists who practiced, to ordinary people, he had seen so many people. Although he had extraordinary memory, he still did not immediately recognize who he was.
It was Ou Chuyang when he came. Just a while ago, Ou Chuyang heard the copper bell ringing in the secret room, and he knew that Tong Liang had brought Ma Liu over. So Ou Chuyang immediately put down his work and rushed over.
Seeing Ou Chuyang coming in, Tong Liang nodded at the former and said, "Boss, I've brought it."
"Boss?" Ma Liu was a little confused. As far as he knew, Tong Liang, as the leader of a mercenary group, should be a leader-level figure. Why would he call this young man the boss?
Although he was confused, Ma Liu did not show it on his face, but still said with a humble and respectful smile: "Hello, sir."
As a familiar saying goes, Ma Liu knows this eternal truth without slapping a smile on his face. Therefore, no matter what the other party asks him for, Ma Liu will face it with a smile.
Looking at Ma Liu's coquettish performance, Ou Chuyang smiled slightly and asked in a very peaceful tone: "Don't you know me anymore?"
Ou Chuyang was stunned by Ma Liu's questioning, and then he recalled quickly in his mind. But after thinking for a long time, Ma Liu still couldn't get it.
In desperation, Ma Liu shook his head and said flatteringly: "Hehe, look at the gentleman's demeanor, even if the villain has seen him, the villain dares not look directly at his eyes, so for a moment, the villain really can't remember it, I hope the gentleman will give me some advice."
"Haha", Ou Chuyang smiled, then stretched out his palm with an ethereal ring and shook it slowly in the air. His eyes were filled with smiles.
Seeing Ou Chuyang's actions, Ma Liu set his eyes on Ou Chuyang's palm. When he saw this, a vague figure of a young man suddenly appeared in his mind.
After thinking about it again, Ma Liu immediately locked his target on the blurred figure in his memory, then bowed and bowed, and said in fear: "It turns out to be a sir, the villain deserves to die, but he didn't even think of sir."
Tong Liang was also confused when Ma Liu looked like this. Although he didn't know how Ou Chuyang knew Ma Liu, it was not difficult to see from Ma Liu's behavior that Ma Liu had a little fear of Ou Chuyang.
Seeing that Ma Liu had already recognized him, Ou Chuyang smiled and said, "I'm here to come to you this time. I have a small matter for you to help, so sit down first."
As he said that, Ou Chuyang walked to a chair and sat down.
"Mr. Xie." Ma Liu's expression was extremely respectful. After thanking him, Ma Liu sat down.
"Don't worry, this time I came to you, it will only benefit you, you don't have to be so scared." Seeing that Ma Liu was still a little nervous, Ou Chuyang comforted.
"Hehe." After scratching his head, Ma Liu laughed and did not answer. He knew that what the other party wanted to say was serious. However, with Ou Chuyang's words at the bottom, Ma Liu immediately relaxed. It seemed that the other party would not be unfavorable to him. On the contrary, if he did this for the other party, he might be able to make some money.
Seeing Ma Liu relieved, Ou Chuyang said slowly: "I heard you say before that you are very familiar with Qipan Town?"
After hearing Ou Chuyang’s question, Ma Liu immediately replied: “Yeah. I’m very familiar.”
"If you ask me to pay attention to some things or some people, will there be any difficulties?" Ou Chuyang continued.
"This..." After hearing what Ou Chuyang said, Ma Liu felt something was wrong. He didn't dare to boast about this kind of thing casually. After all, what a cultivator should pay attention to is not something that a person at his level can easily access.
"Speak quickly." Seeing Ma Liu hesitating, Tong Liang looked very unhappy and urged in a deep voice.
Tong Liang was furious, and Ma Liu was so scared that he immediately replied: "Ah, it depends on who you need to pay attention to?"
Feeling the emotions in Ma Liu's heart, Ou Chuyang laughed slowly and said, "Don't worry, the person I want you to pay attention to doesn't need to contact, as long as you pay attention carefully, and this person is a well-known person in the city. Anyone knows him. I believe that with your ability, you will not be discovered."
Upon hearing this, Ma Liu immediately reacted and said, "Oh. That's fine. If you want to inquire about news, I can count the entire Qipan Town. I wonder who do you want me to pay attention to?"
"The boss of Yunsheng Inn." Ou Chuyang replied.
