Chapter 17 Assassination
"Huh!" The man looked a little confused, then shook his head, turned and walked into the small building.
"Although the attack power of the soul is not strong in the early stage, its concealment and uniqueness of coming and going without a trace are far beyond the reach of martial arts." Qin Ziling saw that the man didn't find anything, and suddenly came to his senses. He was now a wandering soul, and the man's naked eyes could not see him at all. He couldn't help but laugh, but was also secretly happy and satisfied.
Qin Ziling was thinking in his heart, and his soul had already floated towards the small building.
He always felt that the atmosphere of this small building was a little different, one could even say that it was a little eerie and weird, with faint wisps of blood rising up and lingering around the small building.
In the middle of a room in the small building, there is a furnace with a flame burning underneath.
There was a Taoist boy fanning the fire beside the alchemy furnace, and another Taoist boy was standing behind a Taoist priest.
The Taoist priest was sitting cross-legged beside the alchemy furnace. He was wearing a white Taoist robe with three blood-red lotus patterns embroidered on the cuffs. He had a handsome face and five long beards. He was between forty and fifty years old and looked like a Taoist immortal.
The Taoist held a whisk in his hand, and next to him was a copper basin filled with blood-colored liquid.
The blood-colored liquid was extremely thick, and no one knew what it was extracted from.
The Taoist priest observed the temperature of the furnace, dipped his whisk into the copper basin from time to time, and then swung it. Red liquid then turned into a red line that streaked through the air and fell into the furnace.
"Master, how is the progress of the Nine-Transformation Blood Essence and Bone Strengthening Secret Pill?" The man walked into the alchemy room, bowed slightly to the Taoist priest, and asked.
"Everything is going smoothly. Now all we need is the blood essence of the last three exotic beasts, but one of them must be a second-grade blood-patterned raccoon. The other two exotic beasts will be fine as long as they are not domesticated. There are no requirements. Of course, the higher the grade, the better, the higher the success rate of the pill, and the better the quality of the pill will be." The Taoist priest known as the Immortal Master threw away his whisk and did not stand up. He just clasped his thumb and index finger together, saluted with his palm upright, and replied indifferently, with the calm demeanor of a Taoist master.
"Master, don't worry about the strange beasts. I will arrange it and send it to you as soon as possible. But you still need to pay more attention to the matter of alchemy." A hint of joy flashed in the depths of the man's eyes, and he said lightly.
"Okay, okay. But refining the elixir is very energy-consuming. My injuries haven't healed yet. I'm afraid that when the critical moment comes, I will not be able to do it due to my lack of strength. So I need Lord Xu to send me six boys born in the yang year, yang month and yang hour and six girls born in the yin year, yin month and yin hour to prepare for my treatment." The Taoist priest said calmly.
“As long as the Immortal Master can refine the Nine-transformation Blood Essence and Bone Strengthening Secret Pill, I will capture ten or a hundred boys and girls for you, not to mention six.” said Xu Pengkun, the master of Xu Castle.
"Fort Master Xu is indeed a man who can accomplish great things!" said the Taoist priest, bowing slightly.
Qin Ziling, who was standing outside the window, couldn't help but tremble in his soul when he heard the conversation between the two. If he hadn't seen that the Taoist priest and the man were both powerful figures, and that he could only barely move the embroidery needle, he would have rushed in regardless of everything and killed these two extremely cruel and bloody demons with beastly hearts in human form.
Just when Qin Ziling was so angry that his soul was trembling, the Taoist priest facing the window seemed to have noticed something. He looked in the direction of Qin Ziling with his eyes unusually sharp, as if lightning was radiating out of them.
Qin Ziling was shocked when he saw this, and flew away quickly, not daring to peek again.
This Taoist priest looked less masculine than that man, but his gaze gave Qin Ziling the feeling that he could see through him.
“I don’t know who that man and that demon are, but they have such keen senses. It seems that although the soul is invisible and cannot be seen by the naked eye, masters can still sense warning signs with their keen senses.” Qin Ziling was secretly surprised as he flew.
He knew that even if he had cultivated the way of the spirit and soul and possessed unpredictable means, it would not be easy to kill a real master.
Of course, unless the other party has the secret technique to crack the way of the soul, once he is targeted by a soul cultivator who has reached the realm of exorcising objects, the soul cultivator's strange and elusive methods will definitely make the other party unable to sleep or eat.
After leaving the small building, Qin Ziling didn't dare to cause any more trouble.
Although his spirit had barely reached the level of being able to drive away objects, his body was too weak. After being away from his body for a long period of time, his body, without the support of his spirit and soul, was bound to decay.
Moreover, the man and the demon he saw tonight seemed to be able to sense him vaguely, which made Qin Ziling feel alert.
Continuing through walls and alleys, Qin Ziling finally found Xu Yuanbiao sleeping soundly in a room in a relatively remote courtyard in the southern district. The courtyard was much more shabby than those mansions in terms of both area and decoration.
"This Xu Yuanbiao is so arrogant outside, like a big master, but in Xujiabao he is just a bastard's son. He can only live in a corner and is not considered a big shot." Qin Ziling glanced at Xu Yuanbiao who was sleeping soundly, and quickly returned to the big tree where the embroidery needle was hidden, rolled up the embroidery needle and went back to Xu Yuanbiao's bedroom.
Floating in the air, looking at Xu Yuanbiao who was sleeping like a dead pig, according to Qin Ziling's previous personality, in order to feel relieved and vent his hatred, he would definitely appear in his dream and tell him that the one who killed him was a commoner whom he treated as nothing during the day. But at this moment, Qin Ziling was calm and his eyes were as calm as if he was looking at a dead person without any emotion.
A flash of cold light flashed across the air, bringing with it a chilly breeze, and an embroidery needle as long as a finger suddenly pierced into Xu Yuanbiao's temple.
"Ah!" A shrill scream suddenly .
Xu Yuanbiao suddenly sat up from the bed and covered his temple with his hand, where blood was slowly flowing out.
At this moment, a cold light fell on Xu Yuanbiao's chest, and this time a line of blood spurted out, spilling blood drops on the bed.
The drop of blood actually carried a slight fishy smell.
"Ah!" Xu Yuanbiao rolled off the bed. The wound began to rot and stink, and his face turned black and blue.
"Hiss!" Although he had already expected that the corpse fluid of the four birds was very poisonous, Qin Ziling still took a deep breath .
Of course, this is also related to the part where the embroidery needle is pierced.
Both the brain and the heart are the most vulnerable parts of the human body. Once infected by a poison, it is basically fatal. However, Qin Ziling was surprised that the attack occurred so quickly.
Soon, there were chaotic footsteps outside.
Qin Ziling glanced coldly at Xu Yuanbiao, whose breathing was gradually weakening, then rolled up the embroidery needle and left.
When leaving, Qin Ziling took a deep look at the building where the Taoist priest was refining the elixir from afar. His eyes were cold and full of murderous intent.
