75: Two-pronged approach

Killing Lin Xianlong was like a gamble for Zhou Luo.

Because he wasn't sure if doing so would gain the Main Family's trust and prevent them from killing him.

This was already the limit of what he could do.

Right now, the key was still to resolve this poisoning incident.

As for what punishment he would receive for being suspected of poisoning the Zhou Family's Array Master, Zhou Luo couldn't concern himself with that for now.

Inside the Pill Refining Room.

The three Alchemists were greatly shocked watching Zhou Luo's skilled technique.

They had been in the First-Order Pill mid-grade for decades, not far from the High Grade, and believed they could also reach Zhou Luo's level.

But it seemed the other party had just stepped into the First-Order Pill mid-grade.

How could his technique be like that of an old Master who had been Pill Refining for over ten years, clean and neat, and his control over the heat and medicinal liquid was even more superb.

Moreover, the method of melting Pills, the three people present couldn't do it so finely; it consumed too much mental energy.

But after the Pills were formed, the other party didn't show the slightest trace of fatigue.

No wonder Sixth Elder chose him as his Disciple.

This talent was simply terrifying.

Zhou Luo's performance once again refreshed the three Alchemists' understanding of him.

After the Pills were formed, Zhou Luo handed the antidote Pill to Lin Kai's subordinate, telling him to give it to the poisoned person.

Taking advantage of this Time, he explained the principle of this antidote Pill to the three Alchemists, as well as what was special about Lin Xianlong's body previously.

Why did he wait until this Time to explain?

Because at that Time, he hadn't finished fabricating the reason.

While Pill Refining, he had already thought of the explanation, and now that he said it, it was naturally extremely smooth.

After listening, the three people were greatly shaken internally.

They hadn't expected Zhou Luo to have such an incredibly high understanding of the path of Pills.

As expected of a Pill Refining Genius.

The three people were completely convinced.

At this Time, Lin Kai's subordinate brought news.

After taking the antidote Pill, the poisoned person indeed recovered to normal.

Thus, the three Alchemists also participated in the Pill Refining.

At the same Time, the two Elders also learned the news that Zhou Luo had refined the antidote Pill.

“What do you say, what if all of this was Zhou Luo's own doing?” Lin Tianfang asked calmly, sitting in the Grand Tutor's chair.

On the left side, Lin Xuanfeng was still wearing that black robe, his gloomy face showing no ripples, he said lightly, “Then he does have some tricks.”

A mere son-in-law who could stir up such a big commotion, even the two Elders would look upon him favorably.

It was just a pity that it was only that much; with his low cultivation Realm, he couldn't enter their sight at all.

“Take this letter and give it to the Family Head when the Time comes.” Lin Tianfang's index finger moved slightly, and a golden envelope on the desktop floated up and landed in front of Lin Xuanfeng.

Lin Xuanfeng put it away, gave the other party a deep look, and said, “This seems to be our first Time joining forces, and it's still because of a son-in-law.”

The joining of forces he spoke of was naturally aimed at the subsequent matters.

Since Lin Tianfang was the person in charge of the Spirit Mine, he naturally had to observe Zhou Luo and probe whether the other party knew the secret of the Spirit Mine.

As for Lin Xuanfeng, he had to divide the relationship between Zhou Luo and the Great Elder, creating a rift between the two.

Taking a two-pronged approach was the most reliable.

Hearing this, Lin Tianfang smiled, “Don't forget, he is also Sixth Elder's eldest Disciple.”

Although Zhou Luo was an outsider, his identity and status had always been not low.

Whether it was the Great Elder or the Sixth Elder, both were very fond of him, and it was precisely because of this that the Main Family wouldn't easily kill the other party.

If it were someone else, they would probably have died for an unknown reason on the first day they came to the Spirit Mine.

...

At dinner Time, the three Alchemists had already left. Zhou Luo held Bai, stroking its soft fur, and pondered his next plan.

Looking at Lin Xuanfeng's attitude earlier and the calmness in the afternoon, it seemed his choice was correct.

It was just that he had the feeling of being in the center of a storm again.

Fortunately, during the day Time, Lin Xianlong had told him some information about the Spirit Mine.

Including the distribution of guards here, as well as the internal structure of the Spirit Mine, and so on.

According to the other party, the entire Spirit Mine had three guard teams, and the people in charge were Lin Kai, Lin Hui, and Lin Chi respectively.

Lin Kai was in charge of the first and Second Levels of the Spirit Mine, Lin Hui was in charge of daily arrangements and responsible for the safety of the pavilion, while Lin Chi was specifically guarding the third and fourth layers, with the purpose of preventing anyone from discovering the secret.

Besides that, both the Second Level and the third layer had another entrance.

This was also why he hadn't seen anyone going to the two layers below to deliver food on the first layer.

The fourth layer was connected to the third layer, with only one entrance, and its location was very remote, making it basically difficult to enter.

According to Lin Xianlong, if the Main Family wanted to make a move on him, they would definitely send him to the third layer.

Because starting from the third layer, everyone who could enter were the most loyal Disciples of the Main Family, and only there would it be easy to create a mining accident to cause his Death.

Therefore, as long as Zhou Luo stayed on the first layer where there were many people and eyes, the other party wouldn't touch him.

Besides that, Lin Xianlong also specifically told him how to contact the people on the first layer, and reminded him that only by doing so could he save his life.

This information wasn't very helpful to Zhou Luo for now, but at least he didn't have to grope around blindly everywhere.

Thinking about it carefully, the game between the Main Family and the Great Elder was truly too unpredictable, to the extent that he had unknowingly stepped into a trap of Death.

At this Time, Zhou Luo suddenly remembered that Lin Xianlong seemed to have said, “No wonder the Great Elder would send you,” and then asked, “You weren't sent by the Great Elder.”

These simple two sentences, however, gave Zhou Luo a different view of that kind-faced Great Elder.

He looked at the Scarlet Phoenix treasured sword by the bed and muttered to himself, “Could it be that everything was arranged by the Great Elder?”

But how could he have predicted that he would try every possible way to enter the Second Level?

Zhou Luo couldn't figure it out, but he knew that if the Great Elder had told him these things in advance, with his personality, he definitely wouldn't have put himself in danger to do these things.

With this thought, Zhou Luo's gaze sank.

Perhaps it was precisely because the Great Elder knew this that he chose to compromise with the Main Family to let him go to the Spirit Mine and concealed it from him.

Once he learned the secret of the Spirit Mine, there would be no turning back.

No wonder Lin Xianlong also told him the specific situation of the Spirit Mine and instructed him to definitely try to get in touch with the Great Elder's people.

Perhaps after obtaining the secret of the Spirit Mine, whether he lived or died was no longer that important.

Zhou Luo's gaze was cold.

Originally, he had thought that Family struggles would be relatively benign, but now it seemed both sides were old foxes, willing to sacrifice others casually to achieve their goals.

As the one being sacrificed, Zhou Luo couldn't help but feel somewhat indignant in his heart.

But he knew that everything was the result of his insufficient strength.

If his strength was sufficient, how could he be so passive?
