Chapter 252 Lv Lingquan

"Senior, please help save this man. I have something to ask him."

In addition to the reason that the other party was from the Blood Demon Palace, Fang Chen also felt that the man's voice sounded a little familiar.

"give it to me."

Tianyu had originally planned to get involved in this matter. Since Fang Chen thought the same as he did, he had no psychological burden and took action directly.

"ban!"

He just lightly tapped the air, and countless array patterns flowed out from his fingertips, trapping the young man and the red-robed masked man who was chasing him.

"Senior, this is an internal matter of our Blood Demon Palace. Please, for the sake of Lord Blood Demon, please do not interfere."

Feeling his body being controlled by an inexplicable force, the leader of the red-robed masked men immediately moved out of the Blood Demon Palace, hoping to suppress Tianyu.

“Senior, don’t listen to their nonsense. They are just subordinates of a true disciple of the Blood Demon Palace. They cannot represent the Blood Demon Palace at all. This is a personal grudge between disciples. It doesn’t matter even if you kill them.”

The young man who was being chased also thought he had met his savior and shouted loudly.

Tianyu didn't care about the arguments of both sides. He waved his hand, and both the young man and the masked men in red robes were brought to the nearby area.

"Senior, the disciple we cured will inherit the Blood Demon Palace's lineage in the future. Please give us some face."

The leader of the red-robed and masked men still did not give up the argument and tried his best to describe his backers as very powerful.

"So what? Even if the Blood Demon Palace Master came in person, I wouldn't have to give him face, let alone you guys?"

Tianyu laughed contemptuously and didn't care about what the man said. He had the capital to say that.

Even though he couldn't defeat the Blood Demon Palace Master who was in the Nascent Soul Stage, it was still easy for him to run away from him.

So this is not a big deal.

"But you don't have to worry. Your lives are still useful. As long as you keep quiet, I will let you return safely."

After gently admonishing the group of red-robed masked men, Tianyu turned his gaze to the young man with a smile: "Tell me about your business, and I will decide how to deal with you."

"My affairs as a junior are not worth mentioning. Since you want to hear it, I will tell you everything."

The young man smiled bitterly and began to tell the story.

His name was Lu Lingquan. He was originally just an inconspicuous mortal on an island in the Star-Moon Sea. Later, all the mortals on the island were captured by the Blood Demon Palace and made slaves, but his fate changed.

An alchemist in the Blood Demon Palace saw that he was smart and took him in as an alchemy boy, and that's how he entered the Blood Demon Palace.

Even the alchemist didn't expect that Lu Lingquan was very talented in alchemy. Just by assisting the alchemist in making pills, he mastered many methods of refining pills.

He then secretly accepted some alchemy commissions from the outside world, used the spirit stones he earned to purchase resources for cultivation, and slowly improved his cultivation to the great perfection of Qi training.

And after each breakthrough, he would carefully hone his aura to ensure that there would be no leaks.

But out of caution, he also specially found a secret technique to conceal his aura, so that the alchemist who brought him into the Blood Demon Palace would not notice the rapid improvement of his cultivation.

But then, he encountered the mountain of foundation building.

Without the Foundation Building Pill, it would be extremely difficult for him to build a foundation with his qualifications. Fortunately, he heard that the recipe of the Foundation Building Pill was being auctioned at a certain auction, and he immediately decided to go there.

Unexpectedly, the situation was disrupted by a Jindan cultivator.

"It's you?"

Having said this, Fang Chen finally remembered why this person's voice sounded familiar.

He was the unlucky guy whose auction was ruined by Dragon Armor.

Judging from the speed at which he escaped just now, he should have successfully established his foundation. It makes sense. According to Long Jia, he is already a second-rank lower-grade alchemist. Even if he did not get the formula for the Foundation Establishment Pill at the auction, he has other means to obtain enough Foundation Establishment Pills.

"Senior, do you know me?"

Lu Lingquan had never seen Fang Chen, and couldn't judge Fang Chen's cultivation level. He just saw him standing next to Tianyu, so he called him "senior".

"I can't say I know you, but I also participated in the auction you mentioned. It turns out that you are the one in Box No. 6 who was slandered as a stooge."

Fang Chen shook his head, but also talked about this past event.

"Ah, I remember now. You were the one who bid for the Foundation Establishment Pill formula with me. No, I saw that you gave up the bid later. Could it be that you were the one who bid for me?"

Speaking of this auction, Lu Lingquan also remembered Fang Chen's voice, and instantly felt that he had discovered some incredible secret.

"Don't talk nonsense. I just didn't want to offend that Jindan cultivator, so I gave up the bid. Who knew that it would really be a bargain for that Qi training cultivator who couldn't even enter the box."

Fang Chen was telling the truth, but he concealed the fact that Wang Changlin, who made the bid, was also from the same family as him. "Yeah, who knew that this would happen? I really don't know what that Jindan cultivator was thinking!"

Lu Lingquan was very angry, but he immediately realized his situation and continued: "I didn't win the foundation-building pill recipe at the auction, but I got a purple flower, so the trip was worthwhile. Then, I got unlucky because of this purple flower..."

The Purple Extreme Flower is a spiritual medicine that is only used when opening up the Purple Mansion. Even if Lu Lingquan has enough spirit stones to buy it, he can only put it aside.

It just so happened that the alchemist who brought him into the Blood Demon Palace had cultivated to the realm of perfect foundation building and needed a Purple Extreme Flower to refine the elixir needed to open up the Purple Mansion.

Lu Lingquan was a man who knew how to repay a favor. He knew that without this alchemist, he would become a sacrifice like the other mortals at the time, to be sacrificed at an unknown time.

Anyway, he wouldn't need the Purple Flower for the time being, so he gave it to the alchemist.

The alchemist also successfully refined the required elixir, opened up the Purple Mansion, and became a true disciple of the Blood Demon Palace.

Then, he sold out Lu Lingquan.

In order to please another true disciple, the one who will inherit the position of Palace Master of Blood Demon Palace, Lu Lingquan was made the other party's elixir slave, specializing in refining various elixirs for his subordinates.

When Lu Lingquan learned about this, he was naturally very angry.

He first pretended to agree to this matter, letting the alchemist relax his vigilance, and found an opportunity to escape from the Blood Demon Palace.

This was naturally a great shame and humiliation for the future heir of the Blood Demon Palace, so he sent his men to capture him.

Lu Lingquan also revealed that he was able to escape death thanks to the care of another true disciple.

She was in competition with the would-be heir and was happy to see him lose face.

"Alas, you have been in the Blood Demon Palace for such a long time, and you are still thinking about repaying your kindness? Fortunately, you are smart, otherwise you would have been sold out and helped others count the money."

Tianyu could naturally tell the truth from falsehood in Lu Lingquan's words, and he shook his head gently as he lectured him.

"My senior taught me that he has always been good to me, so I wanted to repay him, but it's a pity that I ended up paying him back in the end."

Lu Lingquan was also very emotional. To be honest, he was indeed very grateful to the alchemist who brought him out of his suffering, so he felt even more uncomfortable after being betrayed.

"No, otherwise, he was just sold and helped others count money."

Fang Chen on the side folded his arms and ignored Lu Lingquan's sadness.

Seeing that he was looking at him angrily again, Fang Chen continued, "Think about it, you were living peacefully on that island, why did you become a slave?"

"Of course, the cultivation methods of those demonic cultivators require sacrifices—"

Speaking of this, Lu Lingquan became very excited, but he reacted just after answering one sentence.

The various cultivation methods of the devil cultivators require mortals as sacrifices. In order to obtain qualified sacrifices, they must also make the sacrifices suffer, which is why he became a slave.

The Blood Demon Palace can basically be regarded as the leader of the demonic cultivators.

"It seems that you have figured it out. Every disciple of the Blood Demon Palace was once a part of you who oppressed you. You can even say that they turned you into a slave. Did he make you an alchemy boy out of pity for you? No, he just needed a useful tool, but you think he is doing you a favor. Isn't this like being sold and helping others count money?"

Seeing that Lu Lingquan was lost in thought, Fang Chen pointed out the truth bluntly.

"Thank you for your advice, senior. I have realized my mistake. It's a pity for the purple flower. If I had known earlier, I would have fed it to the dog instead of giving it to that bastard."

Lu Lingquan's face showed an expression of great enlightenment. If his body was not still imprisoned by Tianyu, he would have performed a great ceremony to Fang Chen on the spot.

"Very good, it's not too late for you to realize this now. If you still have some ambition, you should understand that your enemy is not just that alchemist, or the quasi-successor of the Blood Demon Palace's Palace Master, but the entire demon cultivator group they represent. Only by eliminating or transforming all the demon cultivators can we prevent tragedies like yours from happening again."

Fang Chen also had an expression that showed he was a teachable kid. He nodded with satisfaction and then instilled some correct ideas into Lu Lingquan.

"Senior, what you said is very true, but how can I fight against a group of demon cultivators with my own strength?"

Although Lu Lingquan was a little too excited, he had not completely lost his mind and could still judge that Fang Chen's goal was a little unrealistic.

"Everything depends on human effort. Besides, how can you be alone? With me, him, and the millions of mortals in the Star-Moon Sea, if we gather them together, we will surely be able to realize this vision."

Fang Chen stepped forward and patted Lu Lingquan on the shoulder. Fortunately, Tianyu gathered them all near the flying boat, otherwise it would be difficult to do this.

Lu Lingquan only felt that there was some kind of power contained in Fang Chen's words, which inspired him, as if it could really eliminate or transform all the evil cultivators.

"Senior, what you said is very good. I originally thought that it was a great honor to work for Lord Xue Sheng. Now that I think about it, I was also sold out by him and am still helping him count money."

Lu Lingquan was still immersed in Fang Chen's encouragement and did not express his feelings. However, the leader of the red-robed masked men spoke and shouted to Fang Chen with tears in his eyes.

　I have a headache today, so I will just update one chapter with 3,000 words. I will keep the 1,000 words owed, so the total amount owed is 8,000 words.
