I’m Starting With A Holy Land Taoist, And You Want Me To Go The Waste Route? Chapter 201

After getting the information he wanted from Xu Qingquan, Qi Yuan said goodbye and left. However, when he came to the front hall, he saw a familiar figure standing in front of the counter selecting medicinal materials.

“Thousand-year-old snow ganoderma, Jiaye flower, Xiuxian grass… and these materials, pack them all up.”

“In addition, didn’t a certain family order a full 100 kilograms of Nine Nether Soul Sand last month? Why does it look so little?”

The speaker was a middle-aged alchemist who looked to be in his thirties or forties. He had a rat-like face and was not good-looking. If you look closely, he was a little wretched, but his clothes made people dare not neglect him.

There were nine light golden patterns embroidered on his collar, which was the unique mark of the Alchemist Association, proving that this person was a real heaven-level alchemist.

At this moment, the middle-aged alchemist was directing a group of followers who looked like servants to sort and pack a large number of materials, and seal them one by one into a special jade box.

The shop assistant nodded and explained:

“To answer what Senior Linghu said, materials like Nine Nether Soul Sand are extremely rare and difficult to purchase.”

“And the amount you want is a bit large. Our shop has limited capacity and can’t get it all at once. We have only prepared four or five pounds…”

After hearing this, the middle-aged alchemist frowned and said unhappily:

“This amount is not enough to open a furnace. How do you do business? You don’t make money even if you have spiritual stones, right?”

The shop assistant looked bitter and smiled:

“Our shopkeeper said that next time, when you come next time, we will definitely replenish the goods.”

Seeing this, the middle-aged alchemist was too lazy to talk to him anymore. He snorted and turned around to inspect the goods.

How did he appear here?

After confirming the other party’s identity, Qi Yuan was secretly surprised.

This man is called Linghu Gao, and he used to be a master of alchemy in Taixuan Holy Land.

At that time, there were five heavenly-grade alchemists in Taixuan Holy Land, and Linghu Gao was one of them.

About two years ago, Linghu Gao took the initiative to resign from the position of master to the head of Taixuan Holy Land, Hengzhen Taoist, claiming that he wanted to return to the Alchemist Association to concentrate on studying the way of alchemy. Unexpectedly, he appeared in the Demon Sect now.

It seems that this guy is probably already a member of the Demon Sect.

Thinking of this, Qi Yuan’s expression became strange.

Unexpectedly, after not seeing each other for two years, Linghu Gao, this rat-like guy, actually betrayed the righteous way and degenerated into a running dog of the Demon Sect.

For the big and small forces in the world of cultivating immortals, every alchemist is an extremely valuable resource, especially the heavenly-grade alchemist. Even the heads of the seven holy places have to show respect to them and dare not neglect them at all.

Losing a Heavenly Grade Alchemist is definitely a huge blow to Taixuan Holy Land.

Qi Yuan still remembers that his master, Taoist Hengzhen, was almost depressed because of this incident, and he didn’t recover until he recruited another Heavenly Grade Alchemist.

Now seeing that the former worshippers of Taixuan Holy Land openly abandoned the light and joined the dark, Qi Yuan’s first reaction was to clean up the door.

Of course, this thought can only flash through his mind subconsciously, and he can’t really be hostile to the other party because of this.

A Heavenly Grade Alchemist like Linghu Gao, even if he left Taixuan Holy Land and joined the Demon Sect, there is no sin at all.

The high-level alchemists can act independently with the help of the behemoth Alchemist Association, and the relationship between them and the forces they belong to is also a pure employment relationship, only talking about treatment and not feelings.

If you are comfortable, stay, and if you are not comfortable, you can pat your butt and leave at any time.

The Alchemist Association adheres to neutrality and never participates in the struggle between good and evil. Both the good and evil sides have tacitly accepted this neutrality and will not easily cause trouble for the Alchemist Association, otherwise the other party would be so happy that they would wake up in their dreams.

After pondering for a moment, Qi Yuan decided to contact Linghu Gao.

If the other party is forced, you may have to find a way to help. Even if you can’t lure him back to Taixuan Holy Land, at least you have to find out what the other party’s motives are for surrendering to the Demon Sect to avoid similar things from happening again.

Thinking of this, Qi Yuan coughed lightly, stepped towards the busy Linghu Gao, and pretended to be surprised:

“Master Linghu, I didn’t expect to meet you here, what a coincidence!”

Hearing someone calling him, Linghu Gao stopped the work in his hands and looked up., he found that he didn’t know the other person at all, his expression immediately turned cold, and he asked lightly: “Who are you?” If the word “Master” didn’t sound quite pleasant, he would have waved his hand to drive him away. Qi Yuan didn’t mind, but smiled and bowed and said: “I am the junior who is rude. My name is Qi Da. I am currently an outer disciple of the Holy Sect. My family is in the medicinal materials business and is also one of the suppliers of this store.” “Are you a material supplier?” Hearing this, Linghu Gao’s eyes lit up slightly, and then he looked at the shopkeeper next to him with an inquiring look.

The middle-aged shopkeeper’s expression remained unchanged, and he calmly smoothed over Qi Yuan’s words:

“This Mr. Qi is indeed the largest material supplier of the store. His family specializes in selling all kinds of natural materials and treasures. If you have any needs for them, you can talk to him.”

Hearing this, Linghu Gao immediately put away his guard, looked at Qi Yuan with a smile, and said with a pleasant face:

“It turns out to be Mr. Qi. I just happen to have some urgently needed alchemy materials here. I wonder if you can get them?”

As an alchemist, he is naturally close to suppliers who can provide alchemy materials.

What’s more, Qi Yuan is obviously the upper-level channel of this store. It will definitely be much cheaper to purchase directly from him.

Although Linghu Gao is not short of these spiritual stones, what he saves is profit. Who would be hard on spiritual stones?

Qi Yuan smiled slightly and agreed readily:

“Since Master Linghu trusts me, I will do my best. The price and other things can be negotiated.”

“It’s crowded and noisy here. Why don’t we find a place to talk in detail?”

Linghu Gao was delighted when he heard it and nodded and said:

“No problem. There is a Juxian Tower over there. Let’s go there to talk.”

“Okay.”

Qi Yuan readily agreed. After Linghu Gao arranged tasks for his servants, he went with him to an elegantly decorated restaurant in the market town.

After sitting down, Qi Yuan didn’t waste any words and asked directly:

“I heard that you were a worshiper in Taixuan Holy Land before. I wonder why you suddenly chose to join the Holy Sect?”

But Linghu Gao shook his head and said nonchalantly:

“Mr. Qi has misunderstood. I didn’t join the Yinsha Sect. I was invited by the head of the Ji family to be a guest of the clan. I have nothing to do with the Yinsha Sect.”

What?

Qi Yuan was shocked by this sentence. It turned out that it was not the Demon Sect but the Ji family that had poached the wall of Taixuan Holy Land this time!

It took a huge amount of money to get a Heavenly Grade Alchemist as a guest official…

After coming to his senses, he asked tentatively:

“Senior, a Heavenly Grade Alchemist with a respected status in Taixuan Holy Land, why would you be content to serve under a family?”

“Could it be that… you were forced?”

But Linghu Gaoduan took a sip from the teacup and said seriously:

“No, I wasn’t forced. They just gave me too much.”

Qi Yuan: “…”
