Murong Feng continued to search for Zhang Lin Xuan at the place where the Holy Maiden was found because he was certain that the sudden appearance of this woman in red was related to Zhang Lin Xuan's disappearance.
The reason he wanted Huang'er to chase after the woman in red was due to the circumstances at that time. The reason was that it was only a matter of time before Huang'er caught the woman in red. Of course, if he was able to track down this woman in red, then it would be an easy matter. But if he was able to capture her, then she would refuse to admit that it was related to Zhang Linxuan's disappearance. In this way, not only would it delay the time, it would also be easy for him to be in a passive state. Furthermore, it was quite unreliable to place a young girl who had recently stepped into the martial arts world in an unknown and ever-changing environment.
When the middle-aged Spirit Master saw that the Holy Maiden had left, his eyes began to twitch. He thought to himself, ”What a good 'Moo Cult'. Not only did he trick me into concocting the pills, he even fed me this darn Gu poison!” Don't blame me for doing fifteen for you guys doing the first one!
He laughed contemptuously, secretly praising himself for his talent.
Therefore, he picked up the compass and purposely circled around the altar. Then, he called for the one-eyed old man and ordered him, ”Put the charcoal under the cauldron and light it up!”
When the one-eyed old man saw that the middle-aged Spirit Master was about to start concocting pills, he felt somewhat puzzled. He looked at the middle-aged Spirit Master and said, ”Is it time?”
The middle-aged Spirit Master knew that he was somewhat unconvinced, and said, ”You have the final say, or do I have the final say?! ”If you don't listen to me, don't blame me if you can't produce the pill later!”
The one-eyed old man knew that refining pills was the most important thing in front of him, so he could only obey obediently. He muttered to himself, ”I'll only show you when the pill is refined!”
When the middle-aged Daoist Priest saw that the one-eyed old man had already arranged for people to prepare the charcoal, he felt very pleased with himself. Then, he quietly took out some sulphur and saltpeter from his four-sided pouch and threw them into the furnace at the bottom of the cauldron while the other elders were talking.
Not long later, the one-eyed old man came back with several warriors carrying sacks of charcoal. The middle-aged Daoist asked them to just put it on the side of the altar.
The one-eyed old man asked, ”Why did you put it so far away? Can't we get them closer? ”
The middle-aged Daoist explained, ”Charcoal is easy to find, and pill refining is a skill. The fire cannot be big or small, and I must personally control it. Do you want to kill me by placing all the charcoal beside the cauldron?”
The one-eyed old man quickly waved his hand and said, ”No, no! I was afraid you'd be tired of adding charcoal yourself! I am doing it for your own good. As long as you can concoct the Jade Urn Pill, everything else can be settled easily! ”
Seeing that everything was ready, the middle-aged Daoist Priest took the dustpan and placed the charcoal under the cauldron.
Not long after, the middle-aged Daoist Priest filled up the surroundings of the cauldron. He put down the dustpan, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and said to the one-eyed old Daoist: ”This old Daoist is in a good mood today, if any of you are interested, you can all come over and learn how to refine the Jade Pills!”
When the elders heard that the middle-aged Daoist Priest wanted to teach them how to refine a Jadepot Pill, they all expressed their doubts.
The one-eyed old man said, ”We did that to you just now, do you have the kindness to teach us your Dao Sect's secret recipe, the Jade Pills? I don't believe it! Unless you're cheating! You want us to come over and burn us to death! We won't fall for your trick! ”
