Chapter 83 Armor Casting? [Please give me a monthly ticket! ]

"This……"

Liang Yue looked up at the sky in horror. What was Junior Brother Bai Yuan doing?
With a loud bang, half of the mountain trembled. Bai Yuan threw the dragon-shaped beast onto the open space outside the Taoist temple, crushing a large area of ​​mountain trees.

After that, he walked back into the temple and bowed to Liang Yue when he saw him. "Senior Brother, long time no see."

"Don't make a fuss." Wang Rulin also patted Liang Yue's shoulder, "Just ask him to go to Mangcang Mountain to help you kill a Kuilong."

"Help me?" Liang Yue pointed at himself.

Wang Rulin said, "The most important ingredient in your armor-making medicine is the inner elixir of Kuilong, supplemented by the heart and lungs. Those things are extremely expensive to buy, so I simply asked him to go to Jiuyang to get a fresh one."

Liang Yue blinked and turned to look at Bai Yuan. The little Taoist boy had a pure and cute face.

He found that although he had tried his best to guess the highest possible value of this junior fellow apprentice, he still seemed to have guessed too low.

He single-handedly charged into the northern demon land, hunted a Kuilong, and then returned.

It sounds a bit exaggerated.

The armor-building medicine that the Longya Gang gave me at that time contained Kuilong heart and lung as its main ingredient. It was already a world-class prescription. But Master had even put the inner elixir into it?
Even if he was ignorant, he knew that the inner elixir was the most valuable thing on a monster, and it might be more valuable than the sum of all its other parts.

He was shocked for a long time, and all he could say was: "Thank you for your hard work, Junior Brother Bai Yuan..."

"It's okay." Bai Yuan said with a smile, "It's my duty to help my senior brother with some small favors within my ability."

It's such a small favor.

Liang Yue turned his head to look and saw that the Kuilong was even taller than Yun Zhiguan, and it was lying there with a strong sense of oppression.

"Now we just have to wait for the last medicine to arrive, and then we can prepare the armor for you." Wang Rulin said.

The master and the disciple had not talked for a few words when a sword beam suddenly appeared from the distant sky. After it landed, a figure in white walked in front of the temple gate.

"Ah." Wang Rulin smiled happily, "Junior niece."

When Liang Yue saw the person coming, his eyes lit up.

"Uncle Wang." The visitor was Wen Yifan. She bowed slightly and said, "I am here to give you Yang Fire Seeds and Dragon Tendon Wood Heart."

"Haha, niece, you've come just in time." Wang Rulin said, "Then I'll start refining the armor-casting medicine for Liang Yue."

"So sudden?" Liang Yue was a little surprised.

He hadn't thought about this part before he left.

"You have reached the peak of your visualization and your swordsmanship has been completed. It would be a waste of time to forge the armor one day later." Wang Rulin waved his hand, "Bai Yuan, light the fire and set up the cauldron to refine the precious medicine!"

Liang Yue looked at Wen Yifan and smiled helplessly. Senior Sister Wen smiled back faintly: "I wish you success."

A moment later, a large cauldron was erected in the main hall. Four Yang Fire seeds were placed underneath to ignite the dragon tendon wood, causing a blazing sun fire that filled the entire hall with hot steam. The various spiritual plants and immortal seeds in the cauldron, as well as the dark blue spiritual liquid transformed from the essence of the earth spirit, were boiling.

Wang Rulin stretched out his hand to try, but quickly pulled it back when it got hot. "Hiss!"

Then he turned around and said to Liang Yue, "Take off all your clothes and go in."

Liang Yue's eyes widened, "Master, you feel hot, let me in?"

"Oh, it won't be hot once you go in." Wang Rulin waved his hands impatiently.

A dead pig is indeed not afraid of being scalded.

But am I not still alive now?

Liang Yue felt that it was not very reliable, but when he looked at Senior Sister Wen and then at Junior Brother, they were all busy with their own affairs. If he retreated at the critical moment, it would be too pretentious.

He gritted his teeth and stamped his feet immediately. Even if he wasn't a dead pig today, he would still be scalded by the boiling water!
But this is more than just boiling water. Wang Rulin specifically asked for fairy-level fire and firewood in order to boil the earth spirit essence inside. The boiling point of this thing is much higher than water.

The door of the main hall was closed. It was inconvenient for Wen Yifan to watch, but he was a little worried about his condition, so he waited outside the door.

Liang Yue was stripped naked in the hall, but Wang Rulin did not let him go into the water immediately. Instead, he smeared a jar of powder made from thousand-year-old turtle skin on his body evenly before letting him get into the pot... no, into the cauldron.

After being coated with flour, Liang Yue felt that he looked more and more like a piece of tempura. Now that things had come to this, he could only jump into the frying pan.

In an instant, fierce and hot fire penetrated into his body, burning one of his souls to heaven and the other two to his body.

"Huh——" He rolled his eyes and took a while to come to his senses.

Only then did he realize that he was not really scalded.

“Hehe.” Wang Rulin laughed beside him and said, “Looking at you like this, how can you be brave enough to be a swordsman? Although the Yang fire is strong, the earth energy is Yin. The two can be neutralized in an instant after being blocked by the thousand-year-old turtle clothing powder. When the spirit enters your body, at most you will suffer a little pain, but it will not cause any harm to you.”

A little pain?
Just when Liang Yue was about to complain, Bai Yuan started to throw Kuilong's inner elixir and heart and lungs into the cauldron one by one.

With two bangs, the boiling level in the cauldron suddenly reached a higher level.

"Ah——" Liang Yue's words suddenly turned into a heart-wrenching howl.

"Oh, this precious medicine is a bit strong. It can't even neutralize the Earth Spirit Essence." Wang Rulin touched his chin. "Could it be that the prescription I came up with doesn't work? It shouldn't work. Theoretically, it should work, right?"

"Master?" Liang Yue stared at him. The heat in the cauldron became increasingly intense, almost unbearable.

Are you trying the drug for the first time now?

For the whole time I'm not a pig, I'm a guinea pig.

"Hold on." Wang Rulin said again, "Bai Yuan, go get some buckets of water!"

After saying that, he muttered again: "Could it be that no one can bear it? Then we will fail..." "Master!" Liang Yue shouted, "Can you please not let me hear your guilty conscience?"

As the stimulation around him became stronger and stronger, he really felt that he could not bear it any longer, and he was holding on only by willpower. There were many cases of casualties caused by the stimulation of precious medicine during the armor-making process. If the master continued to look so ageless and reliable, he could not bear it any longer. If he had not felt sorry for the hard-earned price of this pot of the world's top precious medicine, he would have jumped out to escape long ago.

what……

He gritted his teeth and said to himself, this should work, right?

Soon, Bai Yuan brought in buckets of water and poured them into the cauldron, stirring up bursts of thick, hissing smoke, filling the entire hall like a bathhouse.

So there was a scene like this.

Wen Yifan was bored waiting and paced back and forth in the yard.

"Ah!" Liang Yue's screams in the hall resounded through the sky.

"Disciple, hold on! It will be fine soon!" Wang Rulin encouraged him and kept calling out, "Bai Yuan, fetch some water."

Wen Yifan listened to the heart-wrenching cries inside, with a look of pity on his face, and asked, "Are you okay?"

Bai Yuan nodded and replied, "It should be going well."

Liang Yue screamed again: "Ah——"

……

Zhang family, in front of the mourning hall.

The room was lonely and deserted. Although it was spring outside, it was bleak in here. Only a thin ray of sunlight shone in, bringing a little warmth. Tiny dust particles were wandering around inside.

Mrs. Zhang knelt quietly on the cushion, her eyes slightly closed, not knowing whether she was dreaming or awake.

"You are kneeling steadily." A tall man in a green robe appeared behind her. He was about forty or fifty years old, with a long sword on his back and a tough look.

Mrs. Zhang then slowly opened her eyes and said, "I'm waiting for you to come."

"Heh." The man in green sneered, "Are you waiting for me to take your life?"

"Do you dare?" Mrs. Zhang responded with a scornful challenge: "You two brothers don't dare to do anything that the master didn't ask you to do, do you?"

The man in green said in a deep voice: "You knew that killing Zhang Xingkai was the master's order, but you still wanted to poison my brother."

Madam Zhang turned around, looked into the man's eyes, and said, "He was not careful in his work. If he was found out, the Ministry of Justice would still find a way to kill him. I just ended it for him in advance. The Lord will only say that I acted carefully, not like you who are so indiscriminate."

Bang.

The man in green gritted his teeth, and the floor tiles under his feet shattered with a bang. It was obvious that he had great strength in his body.

"Don't think I don't know. You are just angry that he killed Zhang Xingkai and did not act according to the plan discussed with you. But this is the master's order. Do you dare to poison him and express your dissatisfaction to the master?" The man in green said angrily.

"You don't have to worry about this for me." Madam Zhang frowned, looking unhappy. "What are you doing here? Tell me and leave quickly. I've been watched very closely recently."

"Don't worry, I came here secretly." The man in green also had a bad look on his face.

The two of them obviously disliked each other, but seemed to be in awe of some supreme authority and did not dare to really fall out.

He said, "My master wants me to kill that Imperial Guard. He has seen too many things. If he continues to investigate, I am afraid he will ruin the big event in two days. But before that, I have to confirm whether he is really a disciple of Xuanmen as you said."

"Liang Duwei?" Madam Zhang looked up in surprise. "Your Excellency would go against a Yu Duwei? Could it be that you hate him for finding Qin Youfang and acted on your own?"

"You just said that I could not possibly do anything that the master did not order me to do?" The man in green said coldly, "Answer my question."

Since it was the master who asked, Madam Zhang did not dare to disobey and could only answer first: "He is only a second-level warrior. I once heard a Xuanmen disciple say that he was from the same sect as him. However, that Xuanmen disciple did not look like a serious person, so it is unknown how credible his words are... Liang Yue does not look like he has a Xuanmen master. Even if he does, he should just be a nominal disciple of some master."

After answering, she added, "But his clues should be cut off as far as Qin Youfang. Even if he suspects me, he can't find anything from me. There is no need to worry about him."

"These are none of my business. The master thinks he knows too much, so he must know something." The man in green turned around indifferently, "I came to you just to confirm this. Since he is truly only a second-level warrior, it is enough for me to go alone."

"Sir, aren't you afraid of angering Xuanmen?" Madam Zhang asked anxiously.

"He doesn't work in the Evil-Slaying Office. I'll act in a secret place. Who can possibly link it to us?" said the man in green.

"Humph." Madam Zhang said coldly, "If you fail, you'd better commit suicide immediately and don't reveal any information."

The man in green had already walked into the courtyard and replied calmly, "I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. I can kill a second-level ant instantly with just one strike."

Mrs. Zhang watched his figure disappear quietly, her brows furrowed with anxiety.

Although Liang Yue's appearance disrupted some of her arrangements, she still had a good impression of this Imperial Guard.

Maybe it was because he saved her the first time when she was struck by the thunder from Zhengyang, and the second time when she was flirted with by Stephen Lu...even though both times the rescue was unnecessary.

After all, it proves that he has a good character.

If such a person dies, even if she is not considered a good person, it would still be a pity.

The cultivation level of the man in green was the same as his brother, both were at the peak of the fourth realm, and were extremely skilled in assassination. If such a person deliberately tried to assassinate Liang Yue, there was almost no chance that he would be spared.

"Ugh."

She turned around and knelt back on the mat, looking at Zhang Xingkai's coffin in front of her and sighed.

Good people in this world always seem to die young.

　Good morning.
