When he met Xiongli Immortal Lord again, Yang Qian maintained the due respect.
"Meet Lord Lixian!"
"Stand up and speak. Master Yang Dan, are you satisfied with this trip to Qingtianhai?" Xiong Li sat on the high platform, smiling and speaking in a very heroic manner.
Yang Qian bowed and replied, "My Lord, I was treated well by Lord Heyu in Qingtian Sea this time. I gained a lot of knowledge and got a lot of good things.
"I came back this time to thank the Immortal Lord for his kindness. If it weren't for the Immortal Lord's support, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to show what I've learned, nor would I have had the opportunity to go to the magical upper world, nor would I have had the opportunity to get those benefits."
As he said this, Yang Qian bowed deeply to Xiong Li to express his gratitude.
"Oh? You returned to Qingtian City just to thank me?"
"Yes, Immortal Lord. I will never forget your kindness!" Yang Qian also went with the flow. With what he said, it made sense for him to return to Qingtian City.
As for whether he believed it or not, or whether there were any more tests, Yang Qian could only deal with it as it came.
"I didn't expect that Master Yang Dan is such a grateful demon. Not bad. In that case, can you tell me what rewards you got in Qingtian Sea?"
Yang Qian did not hesitate and told everyone in detail about the rewards he had received.
Xiong Li was not interested in those relics of the Heavenly Palace. He just sighed that the little demon in front of him had strange interests. He liked to collect the relics of the Heavenly Palace that he could not use. It was probably right to say that he had a quirk.
However, what surprised Xiong Li was that Yang Qian actually told him about the reward he had received. In addition to those quirk collections, there was also the recipe for the Life and Death Pill.
"Why do you want this recipe?"
"Hehe, I'm not afraid of being laughed at by the Immortal Lord. Although I am free to wander around, I am also short of resources for cultivation. Refining pills is extremely time-consuming and energy-consuming. So I want to collect some high-value pill recipes, so that I can refine a furnace in exchange for enough resources for cultivation. I can also thank the Immortal Stone for allowing me to look around and exchange for some interesting relics of the Heavenly Palace."
Yang Qian knew that his behavior of collecting relics from the Heavenly Palace was a little strange. But the other party had already understood it as a special hobby, so he "didn't hide it". It would be less likely to be suspected if he said it openly.
Xiong Li nodded and accepted Yang Qian's statement. Then he asked directly: "Can you tell me the recipe? Don't worry, how about the price that satisfies you?"
Yang Qian thought to himself, as expected, just as Xiaode Xianzun said, Xiong Li was not so confident in Yang Qian. The reason for this was probably that Yang Qian had been in the upper world for too long, which made him suspicious. So he wanted to get the pill formula directly, and then he would find another pill master to refine it.
Yang Qian shook his head and said, "Don't blame me, Immortal Lord. I make my living by the recipe. This Transformation of Life and Death Pill is the highest quality elixir I have been able to find after all these years of trials and tribulations. If I tell you about it, how will I survive in the future? This also breaks the rules of the alchemist. Please understand me, Immortal Lord!"
"You don't want to?" Xiong Li was not surprised, but his aura immediately rose. He still wanted to try and see if Yang Qian would break the rules of the alchemist in front of him.
What are the rules of an alchemist? An alchemist only refines elixirs and does not sell them. The elixir recipe and alchemy skills are only handed over when passing on the skills.
This is the tacit understanding of all alchemists. They would rather die than break the rules.
Of course, there were also alchemists who were threatened to spit out the recipes for the elixir, but their fate was equally miserable. No one had a good ending. They were all squeezed dry and then abandoned, and all their relatives and friends were taken away with them.
It's a tragic death anyway, so over time the alchemists became stubborn and stubborn.
In addition, if this behavior leaks out, all alchemists will abandon it, and the big forces will take the opportunity to make trouble and attack it. The outside world will not have the idea of forcing the alchemists. Yang Qian still shook his head despite Xiong Li's pressure, indicating that he would not hand over the recipe. He raised his head and looked at Xiong Li with a determined look. He looked like he would never obey.
As Xiong Li's momentum grew stronger, the pressure from Yang Qian doubled.
Although Yang Qian's physical strength and power are not enough to deal with this level of suppression, he can't just ignore the Immortal King's face, right?
Probably estimating that if the force he was bearing was on Zeng Sanming, he would look like a rat, so Yang Qian began to deliberately lower his body little by little, and finally knelt down on one knee as if he was powerless to resist and was suppressed.
"You still don't obey? Do you think I can't crush you to death? Huh!" Xiong Li seemed to have really wanted to kill, and even the murderous aura and murderous intent surged out and hit Yang Qian crazily.
Yang Qian looked pale and trembling, gritting his teeth to hold on, but he could hardly hold back his laughter.
These demon cultivators took advantage of the Heavenly Palace's catastrophe to directly obtain the middle domain and part of the upper world. There was no evenly matched killing and hard fighting. Even if there was an opportunity to fight, it was a one-sided crushing of the upper and the lower, or suppression by force.
When it comes to murderous intent and the appearance of killing, Yang Qian feels that they are not even as good as those guys from the Immortal Alliance in the Northern Xuan Realm.
What's more, Xiong Li is an immortal. He must have practiced with his back to a tree all the way to here. I don't know how shallow his character is. He can't even pretend to be fierce.
What's more, Yang Qian was certain that the Life and Death Pill was probably Xiong Li's only hope to break the impasse. If Xiong Li felt that a crisis was approaching, he would not give up this opportunity.
Kill him? Yang Qian was sure Xiong Li wouldn't dare to do that!
Sure enough, when Yang Qian pretended to force out a large mouthful of blood, the pressure on his body suddenly disappeared.
"Hahaha, I wanted to test Master Yang's temper. It turns out that he is a wolf to the core. Very good, a person with such character is worthy of refining pills for me!" After saying that, he waved his hand and asked His Highness' attendants to find a seat for Yang Qian.
It seemed that the intimidation just now was just a joke, and it was completely Xiong Li's good intention, or it was a test of Xiong Li.
But the fact is that no one is stupid.
Even though Yang Qian didn't have so many tasks from the Immortal Master Xiaode in mind, he knew that Xiong Li's tactics were real and fake and could be changed at any time. If he really broke the rules and talked about the recipe, Xiong Li would just go with the flow. He wouldn't mention any false words like tests.
"I'm sorry to make you laugh. I'm a little bit brittle, but I was almost crushed by your test." Yang Qian replied in a neutral tone. It didn't seem out of place considering his identity as a wolf.
"Hahaha, Master Yang, there's no need to laugh at yourself. Your cultivation is just at the beginning. With your alchemy skills, you will become more and more successful in this intermediate realm. It will be a natural process for your cultivation to rise in the future. Don't be too impatient for success."
"Thank you very much for your teachings, Immortal Lord."
"Okay, you stay in my palace. I will send you the herbs in three days, and you can start refining the Life and Death Pill. Any questions?"
"No problem, I will just follow your orders."
"Okay! I won't let you down. Please accept this Wanhong Pill as payment for your hard work." (End of this chapter)
