Chapter 460: Secret Agent of the Photo Studio (3)
The photo studio's business is to buy lives for money, and their behavior is very different from that of ordinary monks.
Hundreds of studio killers changed their appearances as soon as they left Jiancheng, and dispersed without a trace in an instant like crows flying into a forest.
The two elders, Hei Yu and Bai Xie, brought a group of followers including Yu Changle, escorted the two young masters, borrowed a public teleportation array set up by a relative sect of Jianmen near Jiancheng, and teleported all the way to the northeast in a grand manner.
In this way, they borrowed the common teleportation arrays of all the forces along the way. After being teleported more than a dozen times, they suddenly changed from a single group to dozens of teams. The number of people, appearance, aura, clothing, etc. of each team were almost exactly the same. Dozens of teams borrowed different teleportation arrays and teleported in all directions.
While these dozens of teams were still moving outward, the two elders, Black Yu and White Scorpion, had already escorted the two young masters back to Huiyan Forest beside the Sword Washing Pool by some unknown means.
Jiancheng is located due west of the Sword Washing Pond, while Huiyan Forest is located due east of the Sword Washing Pond. The two are separated by the Sword Washing Pond, which stretches for hundreds of thousands of miles. Such a distance is very close to the powerful cultivators at the Condensation Fruit and Illumination Void realms. For Jiancheng, it is more accurate to describe it in one word: "next to the bed"!
Huiyanlin is an 'undefended' market. To the outside world, it is a place where a group of independent cultivators of average strength spontaneously gathered together and gradually developed over more than ten thousand years to become a gathering and trade place for cultivators.
There are twenty-three large and small cultivator families in Huiyan Forest. There are two Ningdaoguo ancestors in the open, and more than thirty backbones who have reached the Golden Lotus Opening and Golden Lotus Planting realms. They control the mountain mineral veins within a radius of more than 50,000 miles, and dig and mine ore to sell to Jiancheng in exchange for Jiancheng's protection .
In particular, it was said that the Mi family, the most powerful of the twenty-three cultivator families in Huiyanlin, had a clan ancestor named Mi Xi who had achieved Condensation of Dao Fruit, and was the mistress of an elder of Jianmen… With such a relationship, the Mi family, and even the cultivator families allied with the Mi family, had a firm control over Huiyanlin, and outsiders could no longer compete with them.
The moon was bright in the sky, the night wind was fierce, but the Sword Washing Pond was not peaceful tonight. The wind raised waves several feet high, hitting the rocks on the shore, making a dull sound. The waves shattered on the rocks, and a large area of mist rose up and turned into a dense fog, covering the entire Huiyan Forest.
Next to the Sword Washing Pond, in a huge forest garden, on a fish-watching platform, several tables were neatly arranged, with all kinds of fine wines and delicacies on display. The two young masters of the photo studio, as well as the two elders, Black Yu and White Scorpion, were enjoying them to their heart's content.
Mi Xi, the ancestor of the Mi family, accompanied them with a faint smile.
Mi Xi has been in charge of the Mi clan for a thousand years, but she still looks like a beauty in her early twenties, with a gorgeous appearance like a peony, full of spirit and energy, and a pair of fresh and lively eyes, without any trace of vicissitudes of age. Even her aura does not have the unique solemnity and solemnity of a thousand-year-old ghost, but is also lively and agile, like a bud blooming in early spring, which makes people happy.
It was precisely because of her youthful aura that was inconsistent with her age and cultivation that Mi Xi was able to firmly control a certain Jianmen elder in the palm of his hand. This powerful being who was half a step away from the realm of heaven and man willingly became the biggest backer of the Mi family and Huiyanlin.
Seeing the two young masters eating and drinking like starving ghosts, Mi Xi chuckled, picked up a gorgeous wine cup inlaid with gold and jade, and raised her glass from a distance: "Young masters, you are in for a hard time this time... I am very curious, who is the bastard who dares to mess with our studio?"
The White Scorpion lowered his head and just drank without saying a word.
His ugly behavior in the Rose Garden was seen by Hei Yu... When Bai Xie thought of Da Huang urinating in front of him and the urine spraying all over his head and face was clearly seen by Hei Yu, he wanted to die.
If this matter gets out, how will he face people in the photo studio in the future?
All he was thinking about now was how to seal the black larvae's mouth.
Killing to silence the witness is obviously not an option. Hei You, like him, was born as a first-line killer. He killed countless people and accumulated merits to sit on the position of a powerful elder. He is also the supreme killer of the studio.
If the two of them fight, no one will be in trouble.
So, the only thing you can do is pay a large sum of money to keep your mouth shut?
White Scorpion calculated his own wealth and just hoped that Black Yu wouldn't ask for too much.
It was obvious that he was going to lose a lot of money, and Bai Xie was in a very bad mood. He just pretended not to hear what Mi Xi said... As the biggest secret leader of the Shadow Building in Jianmen's territory, Mi Xi was also in a high position and had great power, but he was still slightly inferior to the powerful elders in other buildings.
If the white scorpion ignores her, can she still bite off two taels of flesh from herself?
Bai Xie didn't say anything, and Hu Tianya didn't say anything either.
Hu Tianya was sinister by nature, and he suffered such a great loss this time, being hung upside down on a tree branch and bullied by a fat cat for so many days. Hu Tianya had countless vicious thoughts in his mind, just waiting for the opportunity to come, and he would definitely cut that 'Lu Zhishen' into pieces and kill all the people in his family, young and old.
Hu Haijiao, who was frivolous and boastful by nature, suddenly jumped up. In a rage, he threw the wine cup in his hand to the ground, then stepped on it hard, turning the cup into a thin piece of gold. The jade and gems inlaid on it were also crushed to pieces by his foot.
"That damned Lu Zhishen, I will fight him to the death!"
Hu Haijiao cursed crazily, pointing his finger at the sky and the ground. With red eyes, he roared at Mi Xi breathlessly, "Captain Mi, send all the people under your command away... Keep a close eye on Lu Zhishen. I want to know his every move, especially the three girls around him. Write down everything they did, where they went , what they said, and who they met every day!"
"I want them to die miserably... Not only them, but also anyone who knows them or is familiar with them, I will not let any of them go!"
His hands twitched like chicken claws, and Hu Haijiao yelled, "None of them, forget it! I want..."
A stream of obscene words spewed out, and Hu Haijiao used all the vicious words he could think of, swearing to make Lu Yi, Qingyou and the other two women die as miserably as possible.
Mi Xi cried out "Aiya", she raised her sleeves and covered her mouth, pretending to be surprised and looking at Hu Haijiao: "It can be seen that the two gentlemen have suffered... Hey... When has our studio ever suffered such a loss? This revenge must be avenged!"
White Scorpion and Black Yu looked at Mi Xi at the same time.
This man who had been lurking in Jianmen territory for many years, had a Jianmen elder in his hands, and had forcibly developed Huiyanlin, a secret stronghold, into its current size. He was the leader of a branch of the photo studio who could mobilize hundreds of thousands of cultivators with a single order...
Her nickname in the studio is 'Black Widow', which refers to the poisonous spider that is extremely venomous and good at biting back its mate.
With such a nickname, one can imagine what kind of person she is and what her methods are.
Is she so easy to talk to?
Sure enough, Mi Xi changed the subject and said lightly, "But... things have been very tense recently. A few days ago, the young master of Jianmen led a group of masters and elders to fight a few old bald men of unknown origin in the Sword Washing Pool... Oh my, the momentum and the noise were so loud that the sky collapsed and the earth cracked. The Sword Washing Pool was almost turned upside down."
"Right now, the top sects such as Jianmen, Miro Sect, Zhengqing Sect, Wanjie Palace, and Tianyun Sect all have large groups of disciples hanging around the Sword Washing Pool. I don't know who they are guarding or what they are staring at..."
Mi Xi flirted with Hu Haijiao and said, "Master, if you ask for my help, I would like to help you a thousand times, ten thousand times... But with so many powerful people watching, I dare not use any of the people in Huiyan Forest."
Lifting the wine cup and taking a sip of the fine wine, Mi Xi sighed faintly, "If there is any mistake, I can abandon this inheritance and flee, but this time, there are more than 20,000 people in the 23 big and small families in Yanlin, and there are so many servants, domestic servants, guards... There are also tens of millions of cultivators and common people who rely on Yanlin for a living..."
Hu Haijiao said sternly: "Captain Mi, are you unwilling to help?"
Mi Xi blinked her eyes and chuckled: "I dare not...but..."
Mi Xi stretched out a snow-white and tender finger, gently drew circles on the table in front of her, and said slowly: "I want three 'Nine Mysterious Blood-Lining Pills', and use the power of the pills to break through the Illuminating Void Realm. I don't know if my wish can be fulfilled."
The white scorpion and the black larvae raised their heads at the same time and looked at Mi Xi deeply.
I knew this woman was nothing. Didn't she just send a few people out to gather information and keep an eye on Lu Zhishen and his group? For Mi Xi, who had many eyes and ears, how could this be considered a big deal?
Hehe, three Nine Mysterious Blood Pills...
This is the top-level elixir made by the studio itself. For each Nine Profound Blood-Lining Pill, tens of thousands of spirits and monsters above the Golden Lotus Realm must be slaughtered...even cultivators, taking a bit of their lifeblood and extracting their spirit essence, and then using hundreds of spiritual medicines that have been refined for at least three thousand years to assist, and using the "human furnace" to conceive the elixir for sixty-four years before it can be made.
The so-called 'human furnace' is a cultivator who has practiced fire-attributed techniques and has reached the realm of Illuminating the Void. After being captured alive, their spirit and soul are wiped out, turning them into an empty shell. Then, using the secret method of the Shadow Studio, the human body is used as an embryo for sacrifice and refined, turning it into a living alchemy furnace, using the cultivator's own true fire as the fire for alchemy!
This kind of human furnace secret technique is cruel and evil, and is also an absolute taboo in Yuanlingtian.
With the studio’s resources, there are no more than thirty-six such human furnaces.
A human furnace can only produce one Nine Profound Blood Pill at a time, and after one production, it takes at least sixty years of breathing exercises to recover vitality before the furnace can be opened to produce the pill again.
By this calculation, even if there are enough materials, a large photo studio will only be able to obtain one Nine Profound Blood Pill after spending four or five years!
