Chapter 436

436 Traitor Wang Lin

Zhao Baoyun had scolded the Wood Spirit clone fiercely inside just now.

Li Yuanqing and the Wood Spirit Clone were telepathically connected and had heard it clearly just now.

It was mainly because Li Yuanqing had not returned for the past few days, so the Wood Spirit Clone had been mechanically taking care of the medicinal field.

On the other hand, the Wood Spirit Clone’s care was not exquisite.

Those herbs had grown very slowly these few days. Many of them had already been lost a few days ago, which made Zhao Baoyun a little anxious.

He had scolded him to his heart’s content today, but he did not expect to bump into Wang Lan the moment he left the garden. The two of them seemed to be old acquaintances and had a good relationship.

Wang Lan narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhao Baoyun. “My disciple hasn’t caused you any trouble recently, right?”

“Disciple?”

Zhao Baoyun was stunned on the spot. When did they make such progress?

“Why? Didn’t he tell you?” Wang Lan called Li Yuanqing to his side. “Little Li is talented and smart. I see that he is very talented in alchemy, so I plan to keep him by my side and teach him well in the future. For now, let him train with you for a few years.”

Zhao Baoyun gulped and felt sweat pouring out of his forehead.

“This… Senior, you…”

He stammered, but his words never made sense. Since Li Yuanqing had become his disciple, what would happen if Li Yuanqing repeated what he had said to his master?

Li Yuanqing could tell what he was thinking at a glance. He smiled and said to Wang Lan, “Master, don’t worry. Ever since I came here, Senior Brother Zhao has been taking very good care of me. He’s a very good person and has never done anything to bully others. Don’t worry.”

Zhao Baoyun looked at Li Yuanqing gratefully as if he was looking at his own father.

“I knew it! Junior Brother, we’re the closest.” Zhao Baoyun grabbed Li Yuanqing’s hand. “Junior Brother, if you need anything in the future, feel free to call me. As long as I can help, I won’t hesitate.”

“Then I’ll thank Senior Brother here first.”

“That’s easy.” Zhao Baoyun heaved a sigh of relief that he had escaped a calamity, but it was not good for him to stay here anymore. He bade farewell and said, “Then if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first. I still need people to support the Sanyuan Medicinal Garden.”

“What did you say?” Li Yuanqing looked at him blankly.

“There’s some trouble at the Sanyuan Medicinal Garden,” Zhao Baoyun said gloomily. “Originally, nothing major happened while I was guarding this area. Who knew that Wang Lin’s hands were dirty? He secretly planted his medicinal herbs in the sect and even went to trade with the Divine Fire Sect this time. If not for what happened to the Divine Fire Sect, the sect wouldn’t have thought to investigate.”

Li Yuanqing’s heart skipped a beat. He relied on Wang Lin to stabilize the source of the Fire Spirit Fruit. He could not lose it just like that.

“Senior Brother, where is Wang Lin now?”

Zhao Baoyun grinned and said, “How can he have a good time? Since he dares to steal spiritual energy from the spirit mine of the sect, we definitely won’t let him off. Don’t worry.”

“I see.”

“He’s been captured and sent to the Punishment Hall, he’ll probably suffer. I even went over to help them count the medicinal herbs. That kid’s brain is quite good. He dug a cave at the bottom of the hill and planted a large number of medicinal herbs.”

“That’s really impressive.” Li Yuanqing originally thought that his business of planting medicinal herbs would prosper. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen when he had just started?

Now that Wang Lin has been arrested by the sect, what should he do? He still had so much Divine Origin Water left. He would feel terrible if he did not use it for a day.

“Junior Brother, is there anything else? If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.”

“It’s fine. Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother.” Li Yuanqing cupped his hands at Zhao Baoyun, making him extremely anxious.

“Junior Brother, we’re as close as brothers. There’s no need to be so polite. If you have anything in the future, feel free to ask me. I’ll definitely tell you everything.”

“Thank you, Senior Brother.”

“Senior, I’ll leave first.”

Wang Lan did not have a good expression on his face. She casually said, “Get lost.”

Zhao Baoyun felt as if he had been pardoned.

“Thank you, Senior!”

Wang Lan also noticed the change in Li Yuanqing’s expression. After Zhao Baoyun left, he asked, “I see that you seem to have something on your mind. Since I claim to be your master, it’s not impossible for me to help you satisfy a wish or resolve some small troubles.”

After Wang Lan finished speaking, he waved his sleeves behind him and waited calmly.

“Senior, what conditions do you want now?”

“How can you say that?” Wang Lan coughed lightly. “How useful are those Giant Spirit Fruits to you? Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you exchange them all with me early on?”

“If I want a cave abode that can grow medicinal herbs, do you have a way?”

“Kid, why don’t you have any rules? How did you address me?”

“If you have a way, I will naturally call you master.”

“Deal?”

“It’s a deal!”

Wang Lan smiled proudly and casually took out a token before throwing it to Li Yuanqing.

“Not far from my residence, there’s a piece of land with rich spiritual energy. I cultivated it earlier, but I haven’t used it yet. It’s fine for you to plant it for the time being.”

“You’re that generous?”

“Why are you still calling me that? Have you forgotten everything you said just now?” Wang Lan glared at him unhappily.

Li Yuanqing’s mouth moved and he called out reluctantly, “Master.”

Wang Lan was very pleased with this title and smiled proudly.

“Why didn’t you do this earlier? I’m the gentlest person. I won’t mistreat you as my disciple. Why are you still so unwilling?”

Li Yuanqing’s face twitched and he complained, “Aren’t you famous for your bad temper outside?”

“That’s to an outsider!” Wang Lan corrected. “I do have a bad temper when facing outsiders, but you’re my disciple. It’s naturally easy for the two of us to talk.”

Li Yuanqing thought about it and suddenly pointed at Wang Lan’s arms.

“Master, I remember that you have an alchemy book nailed together. I wonder when you can take it out for me to take a look?”

Wang Lan had always looked like he didn’t care much about anything, but the moment he mentioned those pill formulas, he immediately panicked. He hurriedly covered his chest and said nervously, “You little kid, you’ve just become my disciple. You want to steal all my skills in less than a day. How can there be such a good thing?”

Suddenly, a palm-sized person crawled out of the medicinal garden and touched Li Yuanqing’s sleeve.

However, Wang Lan was a smart person. He was caught red-handed by him in just a short while.

“What was that?”

“It’s nothing. It’s just a puppet.”

“Impossible. How can the spiritual energy of the puppet be so dense? Where did you get it?”

“I picked it up by chance,” Li Yuanqing replied perfunctorily.

“No, take it out and let me see.” Wang Lan stretched out his hand to take it. Li Yuanqing jumped behind.

“As a master, how can you snatch your disciple’s things? Isn’t this too inappropriate?”

Wang Lan glared at Li Yuanqing sternly and warned, “That’s not an ordinary thing. Hurry up and take it out for me to take a look. If it’s a problematic treasure, it will only harm you.”

“An old senior gave me this. There won’t be a problem.”

Li Yuanqing naturally could not explain the background of the wood spirit clone, so he made up such an excuse.

“Old senior?”

Wang Lan muttered in his heart. A person who could plant the Giant Spirit Fruit and refine such a puppet.

The old senior Li Yuanqing mentioned should be the same person. However, who in the world was so powerful?

Wang Lan had never seen such a person before. He could not figure it out for a moment.

However, he suddenly remembered that the map Li Yuanqing had taken out was from the Central Continent.

Could it be?

Wang Lan’s heart skipped a beat and his eyes widened.

“Master, what’s wrong?” Li Yuanqing knew that this old fellow was too smart. If he was with him all the time, he would probably let the cat out of the bag sooner or later. He wanted to find an opportunity to escape. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first?”

Wang Lan had a rough idea of what had happened just now. Although he usually spoke casually, he was more petty than anyone else if he really encountered something.

He laughed and took out his wine gourd to wave in front of his face.

“Look, I haven’t gone back for a few days. The wine in the gourd is gone. Forget it, forget it. Go back and rest today. I’ll drink two cups.”

Li Yuanqing secretly heaved a sigh of relief. In a moment of daze, Wang Lan had already disappeared without a trace.

Li Yuanqing also returned to the herb garden. He had not returned for a few days, so he had not changed much.

The main reason was that the Wood Spirit Clone indeed took less care of the herbs, slowing down the growth of the herbs.

This was also the reason why Zhao Baoyun ran over and cursed when he saw this situation.

However, the biggest problem now was whether Wang Lin would expose him after he was captured. At that time, wouldn’t he be in more trouble?

Li Yuanqing felt a headache coming on as he thought about this. In any case, Wang Lan was standing behind him. So what if he destroyed some medicinal herbs?

At the thought of this, Li Yuanqing took out the small flame in his heart again.

The fire seed of this purple flame had to be refined into his body as soon as possible because it would take a certain amount of time to nurture it.

Li Yuanqing turned around and returned to his domain space.

In the domain space, a large number of vines grew into a small mountain.

Lying on the small hill was an extremely huge fox.

At the foot of the mountain, two men in their twenties were lying on the ground and sleeping.

This was what Wang Lan had said. After they consumed the Divine Origin Water, their bodies could not help but grow crazily. Moreover, they ate more later, so the increase was even greater.

More importantly, while their bodies were expanding crazily, their control ability did not increase, causing them to be increasingly unable to control their current bodies.

Although the few of them had more or less increased several levels under the enhancement of the medicinal effect.

Li Yuanqing had put this matter aside for the time being, but when he saw them getting more and more dizzy, it seemed like the overall situation had become stranger and stranger.

Li Yuanqing stood on Hu Jiujiu’s head. As this body grew larger and larger, Hu Jiujiu’s divine sense gradually weakened.

“Lord Wan Gu.”

Li Yuanqing muttered this name.

If it was really as Wang Lan said, then he really had to make a trip to the legendary mountain range to find this mysterious old man.

He took out a dark blue wooden stick and gently floated it in his palm. The small purple flame was placed under the wooden stick and slowly ignited it. A strange fragrance wafted out. The white smoke did not float up. Instead, it fell down.

The smoke slowly dispersed and turned into a thin veil that covered the mountain of vines, enveloping the dizzy people.

Everyone wrapped in this smoke gradually calmed down, and the spiritual energy on their bodies stopped running around.

After everything was arranged, Li Yuanqing flew to the side and hung the purple flame seed above his head.

The so-called Heaven and Earth Sacred Flame was powerful because of its strong temper and powerful lethality. At the same time, after being controlled, it could erupt with extremely powerful strength.

There’s a difference between it and man-made flames.

While man-made flames were more controllable, if one had this kind of Heaven and Earth Sacred Flame when facing an enemy, the enemy would not be able to extinguish it if it was stuck to them.

Despite being a small seed, it would cost hundreds of thousands of spirit stones if it was sold outside.

Li Yuanqing did not expect that he would benefit so much from the sacrifice he made to eradicate those evil sects.

The small flame swayed gently in front of him. Li Yuanqing closed his eyes and the world of his divine sense slowly opened. The divine sense slowly devoured the flame, trying to integrate it into his world. The initial collision between the two was very gentle.

From the outside, one could only see the small purple flame trembling continuously, but when they fell into Li Yuanqing’s silent divine sense, one could see that around the purple flames, a group of golden little people holding swords, spears, and axes were fighting the phantom formed by the purple flame.

This purple flame was like a living being. If one were to look carefully, they would notice that those phantoms conjured by the purple flame were warriors with half a body.

Those warriors fought bravely and fearlessly. They charged out with all their might, wanting to rush out of this world of divine sense.

However, Li Yuanqing sealed it extremely tight. If there was a gap at the side, a small golden person would immediately fill it. The two sides immediately fought fiercely.
