Outside the light gate.
A figure slowly stepped out from the light door of the secret realm.
Zhou Qi looked calm as usual, and his clothes were still dust-free, as if he had just gone in for a walk.
Danyangzi, who had been waiting quietly in front of the light door, suddenly cast his gaze on Zhou Qi.
Seeing Zhou Qi walking out intact, a flash of strange color flashed in his eyes.
The strange color disappeared in an instant, and then a look of concern immediately appeared on his face, and he pretended to be gentle and spoke:
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, then Pill-Eating Ancient Toad..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhou Qi raised his hand silently and spread his palms gently.
A small, thumb-sized Golden Toad lay quietly in his palm.
Golden Toad was surrounded by a faint aura of red lines, his round eyes moved timidly, looking aggrieved, and his four little claws were softly curled up, not daring to move.
Danyangzi's pupils suddenly shrank.
He stared at the Little Golden Toad, his Adam's apple couldn't help rolling, and he was speechless for a moment.
"Alchemy Dao Origin... turns out to be Alchemy Dao Origin Manifestation..."
He whispered, with an uncontrollable tremor in his voice.
The desire in his eyes almost overflowed, and it was so hot that he seemed to want to swallow that Little Golden Toad alive.
Danyangzi has been practicing for thousands of years and has been trapped in Body Integration Fifth Layer for many years. Dao of Alchemy has already reached its bottleneck.
If you can swallow this pure Alchemy Dao Origin, let alone break through the shackles and reach Integrated Body Late Stage.
Even the legendary Mahayana realm may not be impossible to explore!
After a while, Danyangzi suddenly came back to his senses.
Realizing that he had lost his composure, he coughed dryly to hide his excitement, but his tone still contained a bit of uncontrollable eagerness:
"Fellow Daoist Zhou is indeed Divine Ability! He can even surrender such secret realm origin creatures, I really admire you!"
He paused, his eyes never leaving the Little Golden Toad, and his speech speed increased involuntarily:
"This... this Golden Toad, can you hand it over to me first?"
Zhou Qi didn't move.
He didn't even take back his open palms, he just held Little Golden Toad like that and looked at him calmly.
Danyangzi Seeing that he had no reaction, he quickly put on a smile and his tone became warmer:
"Oh, haha, I am impatient. What Zhou Dao Lord wants is Heaven-Grade Body-Reforming Pill. Of course I will remember it, of course I will remember it!"
He rubbed his hands and his eyes wandered back and forth between the faces of Golden Toad and Zhou Qi:
"Fellow Daoist, please hand over this Golden Toad to me. I will start refining the elixir for you now!"
"Using Wuzhiqi's Demon Core as a guide, we must be able to refine at least Body-Reforming Pill above Middle Heaven Grade."
Speaking of this, Danyangzi thinks he is sincere.
But Zhou Qi shook his head and slowly took Golden Toad back into his arms, leaving only Danyangzi's eyes chasing the golden light until it completely disappeared into his clothes.
"The sect master is so kind, and Zhou appreciates it."
Zhou Qi bowed his hands and said in a gentle but neither humble nor overbearing tone:
"It's just that in this journey of practice, from the humble beginning Rogue Cultivator to the present state, Zhou has seen too many twists and turns and encountered too many variables. Over time, he has developed a bad habit..."
He raised his eyes slightly and looked at Danyangzi calmly. His eyes were calm, but Danyangzi's heart felt inexplicably tense.
"Zhou likes to see everything settled with his own eyes, which makes him feel at ease."
Danyangzi The smile on his face froze slightly.
Zhou Qi continued, "How about this, I will give you the demon elixir, and Golden Toad is also in my hand. The sect master will start the elixir refining here, and Zhou will wait quietly. The elixir will be released. It is verified that as long as the grade is above the heaven level, Zhou will definitely offer this Golden Toad with both hands."
"Zhou swore an oath with Daoism and would never break his promise."
After the words fell, there was silence in front of the entrance to the secret realm.
The sound of wind passed through the mountains and ridges, making the clothes of the two men rustle.
Danyangzi's face is cloudy and uncertain.
What a Zhou Qi!
He originally thought that this person would have a narrow escape from death if he entered the secret realm. Even if he could come out alive, his vitality would be severely damaged.
Then you can sit out and reap the benefits, and Golden Toad will be at your fingertips.
But now the opponent not only stood here intact, but also directly saw through his mind and turned his army against him.
Don't agree?
Golden Toad was held in the opponent's arms, and he was not sure of snatching it away.
This person can kill Wuzhiqi and subdue the original creatures in the secret realm. His true combat power is not as simple as the Integrated Body First Layer shown on the surface.
When I used Divine Sense to explore earlier, the feeling of being bounced back by the barrier is still vivid in my mind.
What's more, he Danyangzi cultivated Dao of Alchemy, and he is not good at combat power.
If you really take action, you may not get a good deal.
Agree?
Alchemy Sect There are three hidden agents of the Heaven-Escaping Pavilion lying in wait outside the sea. Wouldn't refining elixirs for them increase the enemy's strength?
But what's even worse is...
He didn't dare to let the three Heaven-Escaping Pavilion come directly to assassinate Zhou Qi.
Danyangzi is a secret chess piece used by the Heaven-Escaping Pavilion to instigate rebellion, and is also affiliated with the Primordial Dao Sect.
This identity is absolutely shady.
If he makes too much noise here and attracts Primordial Dao Sect's attention, with the Primordial Dao Sect's methods, his background will not be able to withstand the investigation.
By then, let alone Golden Toad, even your life may not be saved.
Tangled for a long time.
Danyangzi The emotions in his eyes surged several times, and finally they were all pressed deep into his heart.
He slowly exhaled a breath and put a smile on his face again.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou is very careful and meticulous in his actions, which makes me ashamed."
He shook his head slightly and looked helpless:
"Forget it, since fellow Daoist insists so much, I will open a furnace here to refine Heaven-Grade Body-Reforming Pill for fellow Daoist."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand with his palm facing up:
"Fellow Daoist, please give Wuzhiqi's Demon Core to me."
Zhou Qi nodded slightly, turned his palm, and the demon elixir with flowing golden patterns appeared in his palm.
The majestic water system Demon Power suddenly dispersed, causing the surrounding Spiritual Qi to stir slightly.
But he didn't hand it over immediately.
Danyangzi's outstretched hand hangs in the air.
"Sect Master, Zhou hasn't finished speaking yet."
Danyangzi's hands froze, his brows furrowed imperceptibly, and then he said patiently:
"Young Daoist Zhou, if you have any concerns, just say it doesn't matter."
Zhou Qi slowly turned the demon pill on his fingertips, and his tone was as calm as if he was talking about an insignificant thing:
"The sect master knows how precious the demon elixir is than I do. Grand Completion of Body Integration Demon Saint's inner elixir, if you look at the entire Southern Dan Prefecture, I'm afraid you won't be able to find a second one."
"The value of Golden Toad is well understood by the sect master. Alchemy Dao Origin Manifestation is a once-in-a-lifetime thing."
He raised his eyes, his eyes as calm as water:
"Both things are in my hands. If the sect master does anything to refining the elixir, such as poisoning, leaving a back door, or deliberately failing to refine the elixir, I'm afraid Zhou won't even have a place to cry."
Danyangzi's face darkened slightly and he was about to speak.
Zhou Qi raised his hand to stop, still with a slight smile on his face:
"Don't be upset, Sect Master. Zhou is not questioning the Sect Master's character."
"Zhou just wants to say that during the elixir refining, I will watch the whole process. After the elixir is released, I will inspect the elixir on the spot to confirm that the grade and efficacy are correct, and then hand Golden Toad to the sect master."
"If there is any problem with the elixir..."
He paused and looked at Danyangzi calmly:
"Golden Toad I will take it away. Zhou will find another way to recover the loss of the demon pill!"
The tone is polite and the smile is gentle, but this is a clear warning!
Danyangzi stared at Zhou Qi with squinted eyes for a long time.
Having lived for thousands of years, he understands everything well.
The emotions in his eyes surged several times, and finally turned into a faint smile with unknown meaning.
"Okay."
Danyangzi took back his hand that was hanging in the air, put it into his sleeve, and the smile on his face returned to normal:
"Since Fellow Daoist Zhou said this, if I refuse further, it will appear that I have something in my heart."
"Here, the furnace is opened to make the elixir. Fellow Daoists can observe the whole process, the elixir is coming out of the furnace, and they can test the elixir in person."
He turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation:
"Fellow Daoist, please move. I will take you to Open-Air Alchemy Terrace in the Alchemy Sect. There is plenty of Earthfire and Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is unimpeded. It is most suitable for refining elixirs."
Zhou Qi nodded slightly, held the demon pill in his hand, and stepped to follow.
In his arms, Little Golden Toad seemed to feel the subtle changes in the outside atmosphere, and rubbed his clothes uneasily.
Zhou Qi glanced down, with a slight smile on his lips.
Danyangzi led the way, with a tall and straight back, fluttering purple robes, and an air of immortality.
It was just the clattering sound of the hands folded in the sleeves.
