Chapter two hundred and seventy-two deep into the tiger's den
"Master Wang is here, please come in quickly."
The carriage stopped at the side door of Zhuo's house. Chu Ye followed Dongfang Jungui, who had changed his clothes. He was led into the door of Zhuo's house by the housekeeper of Zhuo's house and was quickly led into a quiet room.
.
"Master Wang and his distinguished disciples, please stay here for a moment."
The butler served hot tea and snacks, left two maids to serve at any time, and then left quickly.
Chu Ye couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw Dongfang Jungui wearing an alchemist's robe, half-closing his eyes and looking like a master, especially when he saw the fourth-level badge on Dongfang Jungui's white alchemist's robe.
Alchemist's badge, he even more praised Dongfang Jungui's boldness in his heart.
I don’t know who gave him the courage to pretend to be an alchemist and enter Zhuo’s house. Even his black-armored warriors were only arranged to wait outside and were not brought in. The only person accompanying him was Chu Ye!
"I said, you will be refining elixirs in a while. Aren't you afraid that you will miss the mark and make the ancestors of the Zhuo family afraid to show up?"
Looking at the presence of the old god Dongfang Jungui, Chu Ye always felt that something was a bit unreliable. He really didn't know whether he was a brave person or too impulsive. He dared to pretend to be an alchemist and appeared in the Zhuo family. Once he was discovered by the Zhuo family,
No, those two people took the initiative to get into the den of thieves.
Although Dongfang Jungui had a high level of cultivation and could persist until the black-armored warriors came in to protect him, Chu Ye did not have the confidence to persist.
"Of course I will show off my flaws." Dongfang Jungui admitted directly without any hint of shame, "So, the next step depends on your performance. Of course, whether you can attract the head of the Zhuo family to show up, but also on your previous treatment of me.
Whether your guess is accurate or not, Daodi, the success of today's matter depends on you."
Chu Ye was dumbfounded. He thought he was using Dongfang Jungui to deal with the Zhuo family and attack the forces behind Liu Yucheng, but he didn't expect that he was actually tricked by Dongfang Jungui.
On that day, after Chu Ye introduced to Dongfang Jungui what he knew about the Zhuo family and the Tianshou blood poison, he also told Dongfang Jungui a guess.
All of this started with the Jinwu auction that day. One of the lots at the auction that day was a fourth-level ghost-eyed snow lotus. Zhuo Hong also participated in the auction at that time. It was precisely because of this that Chu Ye paid special attention to it and made a guess.
The Ghost-Eyed Snow Lotus is grown using the warrior's corpse as nourishment. It can be said to be the incarnation of the warrior's cultivation. The fourth-level Ghost-Eyed Snow Lotus can greatly improve the cultivation of King Wu, and if it is refined into a pill, the effect will be
It will be better.
But Chu Ye knew through the identification technique that Ghost Eyed Snow Lotus had another magical effect. The fourth-level Ghost Eyed Snow Lotus, combined with elixirs such as Jade Drinking Branch, could be used to refine a pill called Ghost Eyed Jade Soul Pill.
This kind of elixir is not common, and its effect can be said to be very powerful, but it can also be said to be very useless. The Ghost Eye Jade Soul Pill can extend the life of King Wu, but this life extension is very limited and cannot change King Wu's ten thousand years.
The life limit can only extend the life damaged due to some special circumstances.
When he heard that Zhuo Hong wanted to buy the Ghost Eye Snow Lotus, Chu Ye suspected that someone in the Zhuo family might have been seriously injured and needed the Ghost Eye Jade Soul Pill. As for who it was, Chu Ye couldn't be sure.
However, Chu Ye could not be sure, but it was not difficult for Dongfang Jungui. Ever since he visited the cave on the outskirts of Zhuo's family that day and night, Dongfang Jungui had blocked the news there, and at the same time targeted it based on the information he got from Chu Ye.
Investigate the situation of the Zhuo family.
This investigation really revealed a lot of things.
Originally, Dongfang Jungui had been searching for things about his father, King Lao De, for so many years, and in recent years, he had investigated some messy clues, several of which pointed to the Zhuo family. Dongfang Jungui investigated the Zhuo family.
A lot.
However, in the past, it was mostly about investigating matters related to Lao De Wang, but this time with the news about Chu Ye, Dongfang Jungui's investigation also changed, and some things that were not noticed in the previous investigation were also discovered.
The elders of the Zhuo family have changed several times in the past hundred years, and those elders who were said to have left have actually never appeared again.
Rather than saying that they left, Dongfang Jungui believed that they were dead.
Moreover, what is even more strange is that there are several elders in the Zhuo family, especially those who have disappeared, but their cultivation speed is very fast, almost like super geniuses, but these geniuses only become better when they become elders.
He has extraordinary qualifications, but his performance before this could only be considered mediocre.
Especially when Dongfang Jungui found out that the Zhuo family spent a lot of money and paid a more precious treasure to get the ghost-eyed snow lotus from the third prince, he believed Chu Ye's words even more.
big relationship.
And the person who needs to use the Ghost-Eyed Snow Lotus is targeted at the head of the Zhuo family and the ancestors of the Zhuo family. As for those elders, they are simply not worth the huge price the Zhuo family spent in exchange for the Ghost-Eyed Snow Lotus from the third prince, and
We also need to hire a level four alchemist to specialize in alchemy.
Therefore, today I deliberately used the eldest prince’s banquet to entertain the heads of the five major families and the seven surnamed families. On the one hand, it was to separate the masters of the Zhuo family, and on the other hand, it was also to determine whether the head of the Zhuo family was suffering from the Tianshou blood poison.
.
The result was obvious. The head of the Zhuo family was not infected by the Tianshou blood poison nor the blood god Gu. However, several elders of the Zhuo family who followed the head of the Zhuo family were all infected.
In this case, Dongfang Jungui immediately launched the second plan he had already prepared, pretending to be a fourth-level alchemist, and entered the Zhuo family.
It is a coincidence that the Zhuo family obtained the Ghost Eyed Snow Lotus from the third prince, but they did not dare to directly go to the fourth-level alchemist of the Alchemist Guild of Liuyun City to refine the Ghost Eyed Jade Soul Pill, so they sent people to secretly search for the Ghost Eyed Jade Soul Pill from other countries.
As a fourth-level alchemist, the two parties hit it off immediately, and Dongfang Jungui brought Chu Ye to the Zhuo family smoothly.
"Boss Dewang, I think today's action is still a bit hasty. Why don't we go back and investigate carefully before coming back?"
"You don't want anything from the Zhuo family's treasure house?" Dongfang Jungui looked at Chu Ye, who was beginning to give in, and said playfully.
"How could I be such a greedy person? The most important thing now is to help you find the murderer and solve the Tianshou blood poisoning issue for His Majesty the Emperor. How could I delay things because of my little greed!"
Chu Ye had an unnatural smile on his face. Compared with Xiao Ming, the Zhuo family's treasure house was nothing to mention. Why was he so obsessed with using Dongfang Jungui to investigate and attack Liu Yucheng's death?
What about that evil force?
However, Dongfang Jungui ignored Chu Ye's suggestion, "Now, even if you want to leave, you probably won't be able to leave. You'd better behave well for your life!"
As Dongfang Jungui's voice fell, soon, a familiar sound of footsteps sounded, and the Zhuo family's housekeeper returned, which meant that now the arrow was on the string and had to be fired, and he couldn't leave even if he wanted to! (To be continued)
