Chapter 719 Someone Wants to Kill Him
Jiang Chen activated the Chiwu Sword without hesitation, releasing a scarlet flame.
Phew.
The moment the red flame touched the fireball, it swallowed it up.
"What's going on?"
Jiang Chen's heart trembled, the fireball was obviously aimed at him.
"Someone wants to kill him?"
This thought arose in his mind.
This is an opportunity. He must strike first before the other party makes a move.
whoosh.
A flash of blade light burst out and swiftly slashed towards Jiang Chen's neck.
Jiang Chen's pupils shrank slightly, he raised his left hand, and held the Chiwu Sword in front of him.
With a clang, flames shot out.
Jiang Chen's strength was unbearable and he retreated backwards.
The attack was unsuccessful and the attacker did not pursue the victory.
Jiang Chen steadied himself and stared at the darkness vigilantly.
In the darkness, there was an eerie and cold wind blowing, as if it was coming from a ghost.
Swish, a wisp of flame floated out from the darkness.
Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes, staring at the flames, and vaguely saw a pair of green eyes.
"Who are you?"
Jiang Chen asked in a deep voice.
This is a ghost bird from the underworld. It is cruel and violent, good at assassination, and likes to hide in the dark.
The ghost bird has dark green feathers, a sharp beak and claws, and exudes a mysterious luster.
It was suspended in mid-air, overlooking Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen's gaze passed over it and fell on a small palace behind the Nether Ghost Bird.
"You should have found Longquan Mountain."
At this time, a hoarse voice came from Jiang Chen's ears.
He raised his eyebrows and looked at the ghost bird of the underworld.
The Netherworld Ghost Bird was also looking at Jiang Chen, as if judging Jiang Chen's strength.
After a while, it found that Jiang Chen's realm was not high, and it breathed a sigh of relief, with excitement and bloodthirsty light flashing in its eyes.
"If you promise to help me, I will take you to find Longquan Mountain." The hoarse voice said again.
Jiang Chen showed a thoughtful expression.
"good."
After a little consideration, Jiang Chen nodded in agreement.
Hearing Jiang Chen's agreement, a cunning light flashed in the eyes of the Nether Ghost Bird.
"Let's go."
Immediately, the Nether Ghost Bird flew towards Jiang Chen and carried him out of the restaurant.
The people in the restaurant looked at each other in confusion.
......
Longquan City is located near Longquan Mountain, not too far from it.
At the southern end of Longquan City, stands a majestic ancient building.
"Is that Longquan Pavilion?"
Jiang Chen said softly as he looked at the five-meter-high building made entirely of rocks .
The Netherworld Ghost Bird stopped, flapped its wings, and stirred up a strong wind, pushing him to the bottom of Longquan Pavilion.
Longquan Pavilion occupies the entire mountain, as if a giant beast is entrenched here.
It is heavily guarded and on high alert.
As soon as Jiang Chen approached Longquan Pavilion, he could smell the strong aroma of medicine.
This smell is very unique. Jiang Chen knows that it has an extraordinary origin and is a rare spiritual herb used to prepare elixirs.
When he got closer, he found someone delivering spiritual herbs to Longquan Pavilion.
"These spiritual herbs were picked by our master from Longquan Mountain. Please accept them."
As Jiang Chen approached the door, he heard the conversation between these people.
Jiang Chen was stunned. No wonder there were so many spiritual herbs. It turned out that they were all from Longquan Mountain.
"I'll take all these spiritual herbs and give you a top-grade spiritual stone. How about that?" Jiang Chen suddenly said.
"Really?" the person who delivered the spiritual herbs asked excitedly.
Top-grade spirit stones are currency.
"Really." Jiang Chen said.
"Okay, follow me."
The person who delivered the spiritual herbs led Jiang Chen into Longquan Pavilion and to the second floor.
"Our master is in seclusion, so he sent me here to give instructions."
The person who sent the spiritual herbs.
Jiang Chen nodded. It seemed that he was lucky to find the owner of Longquan Pavilion so easily.
When he saw the scene in the room clearly, he was stunned. This was a secret room.
"Who is this?"
In the secret room, there was a middle-aged man in a blue robe who looked very ordinary.
But Jiang Chen knew that this was the owner of Longquan Pavilion, Wang Yuande!
"You are not from Longquan Pavilion, what do you want to do?"
Wang Yuande noticed Jiang Chen's unfamiliar face.
"Senior Wang, don't worry, I'm not an enemy." Jiang Chen said.
Hearing this, Wang Yuande looked over his body with suspicion.
He discovered that Jiang Chen had no weapons or storage bags on him.
"Please follow me."
Although he didn't know the purpose of Jiang Chen's visit to Longquan Pavilion, Wang Yuande still politely invited him in.
Jiang Chen walked into the secret room and Wang Yuande closed the door.
He looked around and found that there was nothing special here except the tables and chairs .
Suddenly, he looked at a herb on the table.
"Colorful exquisite flowers!"
Jiang Chen said in surprise.
There was a magical herb on the table, which was crystal clear, as if made of crystal, and emitting brilliant colors.
This medicinal herb is priceless, especially for monks.
Because the colorful exquisite flower contains huge spiritual energy of heaven and earth, after taking it, it can speed up absorption and enhance one's own spiritual power.
Jiang Chen looked at the spiritual herb, feeling the powerful spiritual energy rushing into his body, and couldn't help swallowing.
"Is this spiritual herb important to you?"
Seeing Jiang Chen's expression change, Wang Yuande asked tentatively.
"Yes, I'm in urgent need of this spiritual herb."
Jiang Chen did not deny it.
“What a pity.”
Wang Yuande shook his head regretfully.
Jiang Chen frowned and looked at him in confusion.
"This spiritual herb is mature."
Wang Yuande reached out and touched the colorful flowers on the table.
Jiang Chen's heart was pounding, his breathing became heavy, and his eyes were fixed on the colorful exquisite flower.
Wang Yuande moved his hand away, and Jiang Chen's heart immediately tightened.
The petals of the colorful exquisite flower have fallen one layer, but it is still extremely beautiful.
"Only two thirds are left, if you want..." Wang Yuande deliberately dragged out the last syllable.
"I want it!"
Jiang Chen said urgently.
"Oh well."
Wang Yuande sighed.
Then, he took out the jade box, covered it carefully, and put away the colorful flower.
Jiang Chen stared at the spiritual herb intently, wishing he could pounce on it and snatch it away.
But reason told him that there was no point in doing so.
Moreover, he could see that Wang Yuande's strength was unfathomable and he was no match for him at all.
"Senior Wang, what do I need to prepare?" He asked, suppressing his excitement.
Wang Yuande pointed to something on the shelf next to him and said, "Do as it says."
Jiang Chen walked over and carefully observed each elixir, gradually gaining an idea in his mind.
Then he took action.
First, there is the alchemy furnace.
Alchemists have privileges to a certain extent and can use any alchemy furnace.
There happened to be a few alchemy furnaces in Jiang Chen's storage bag that could be used.
"All the spiritual herbs you want are here." Wang Yuande pointed at the medicinal herbs on the shelf.
With so many spiritual herbs, it is a big business even for the royal family and nobles of the dynasty, let alone for ordinary people.
"Thank you. I'll take all of these."
Jiang Chen took out a storage bag and filled it with spiritual herbs.
"This is a deposit. I'll pay you back when I refine the elixir."
After saying that, Jiang Chen turned and left Longquan Pavilion.
