Chapter 83: Chapter 79: Epiphyllum Elixir? Plan to Intercept the Black Jade Kirin!_3
“`
“What is it? Is there something else?”
After reading for a while, Luo Changfeng noticed that Luo Yong had not yet left his side.
He glanced at Luo Yong.
While continuing to read, he asked in a low voice.
“Patriarch Changfeng, the elder from before…”
“How come I’ve never seen him before?”
“Are you talking about that fellow?” Luo Changfeng glanced at where the servant of Bone Refinement Perfection had hidden, chuckled softly, and said, “That guy is someone I’ve forcefully brought up with elixirs recently.”
“It cost me quite a bit of effort to create a cultivator of Bone Refinement Perfection like that.”
“Recently?” Luo Yong frowned slightly upon hearing this.
He was a little confused by the meaning of Patriarch Changfeng’s words.
“The art of alchemy is profound and vast.”
“Each elixir is different from the next.”
“Have you ever heard of an elixir called the Epiphyllum Elixir?”
“Epiphyllum, aside from quick failure, is a momentary splendor.”
“Don’t be fooled by that guy’s aged appearance; his actual age isn’t even greater than yours.”
“If you want, I can make some for you.”
“It’s just that I’m not sure how many years you’d have left to live after taking it…”
“No, no need!” Luo Yong quickly shook his head.
Afterward, he took those two to three hundred Invisibility Talismans and vanished within the courtyard.
As for Patriarch Changfeng’s words just now, they were no idle talk.
What he said was true.
The Epiphyllum Elixir is a special potion designed to squeeze out the potential of the human body.
The concoction of the Epiphyllum Elixir is no simple task.
Finding someone who can take the Epiphyllum Elixir without dying is also very rare.
For instance, the servant who had reached Bone Refinement Perfection.
He was the sole survivor among thousands of loyal followers who could take the Epiphyllum Elixir and live.
The others either were unable to withstand the potency of the Epiphyllum Elixir and exploded into pieces,
or had their potential completely drained, lifespan exhausted, and thus met their end.
…
With the Invisibility Talismans in hand, Luo Yong left the Luo Family Ancestral Land.
He quickly returned to the military camp outside Qingshi Town.
Once he had gathered all the Bone Refinement cultivators loyal to the Luo Family within the camp,
theft, oh no.
One should say, the plan to snatch the fifty ink jade kirins from the Tang Family had already quietly and silently begun.
To execute and complete this plan,
Luo Yong and his party first needed to lie in wait near the Tang Family, silently biding their time.
Then, they were to wait for the Tang Family to complete the trade with that caravan,
and take possession of the fifty ink jade kirins.
That would be the time to initiate Luo Yong’s interception plan.
He believed that after the trade was concluded and the Tang Family successfully took over the fifty ink jade kirins,
that would be the perfect moment to make his move.
…
As time passed,
it had suddenly reached the deep hours of the night.
“`
At this moment, a round of resplendent moonlight hung high in the sky.
The temperature around was slightly chilly.
In Huai Shui County, countless refugees with numb expressions were slowly moving across this land.
Within Huai Shui County, in Tang Family City.
Tang Huaiping, the current Family Head of the Tang Family, was now residing in an exquisitely luxurious tavern.
He was generously hosting a mighty merchant caravan.
The tavern was naturally owned by the Tang Family.
This merchant caravan was one of the numerous teams sent by the strongest clan of Wan Shan Prefecture, the Xu Family.
The reason this caravan had come to Huai Shui County
was to exchange their unique Mo Jade Qilins for a sufficient amount of grain reserves.
“Brother Xu, no need to say more, everything is in this wine.”
Inside the extravagant tavern’s premier room.
Tang Huaiping, the rotund Family Head with a face shining with grease, lifted a jar of wine, laughing as he did so.
He tilted it directly toward his mouth and guzzled with vigor.
Opposite Tang Huaiping sat a robust man from the Xu Family, his appearance rugged.
Seeing this, he couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction, his rough voice saying, “Family Head Tang’s hospitality is much to my liking.”
“Since the Tang Family has ample grain reserves,”
“and Family Head Tang is such a gracious host,”
“when I return home, I’ll request an additional quota of fifty Mo Jade Qilins for you—it’s certainly not out of the question!”
As soon as the merchant caravan leader of the Xu Family finished speaking,
Tang Huaiping increased his drinking pace significantly.
Mo Jade Qilins, you must understand, these were Mo Jade Qilins!
Within the Da Feng Dynasty, they were one of the three divine steeds.
If well-trained, yielding some Mo Jade Qilins in the Bone Refinement Realm,
and then paired with some cultivators at the Bone Refinement Realm,
such a cavalry unit would be akin to reapers on the battlefield.
No army could stand against the charge of the Mo Jade Qilins.
…
In the time that followed,
the caravan leader of the Xu Family and Tang Huaiping spent most of their time in the tavern, drinking wildly.
Only after both the Xu Family and the Tang Family were mostly unconscious from drinking,
did the transaction between the Xu Family caravan and the Tang Family finally conclude quite successfully.
“Family Head Tang, those fifty Mo Jade Qilins are now in your hands.”
“I’ve made a friend in you.”
“If there’s a chance, I will come to Huai Shui County again.”
slurred the caravan leader of the Xu Family, his face full of drunkenness.
“Friend, good friend!!!”
Tang Huaiping, quite excited, embraced the man from the Xu Family in front of him and shook hands before,
the two reluctantly parted ways.
And just as this transaction concluded,
the Tang Family, buzzing with excitement, received the fifty Mo Jade Qilins from the hands of the Xu Family caravan.
Luo Yong and his party, hidden within this Tang Family City,
quietly appeared on a street outside the Tang Family tavern.
