180: Zuo Shaoyuan is a sensible person

Who is he? He Ranks third within the Pill Spirit Sect! He is among the most Peak individuals in the entire Danling State!

Not only does he possess the cultivation of a Grandmaster of Alchemy, his cultivation Realm is also that of a Nascent Void Third Level expert. It can be said that aside from the Sect Masters of the Three Great Sects who can suppress him, he can walk unhindered throughout the entire Danling State!

However, this white-robed young man in front of him merely extended a hand and suppressed him so completely that he couldn't break free!

This is simply unimaginable. What is his cultivation Realm, exactly?!

Could it be that he is already comparable to the Three Great Sect Masters?!

Zuo Shaoyuan quickly used a secret method to notify the other three Great Grandmasters in Danling State, and then hurriedly spoke to Lu Hao:

"Fellow Daoist... Fellow Daoist, let's talk things over! I didn't confiscate your medicinal ingredients, I just wanted to meet you!"

Lu Hao suddenly clenched his right hand, and Zuo Shaoyuan's body instantly lost all resistance. His entire cultivation seemed to solidify, and his body uncontrollably flew towards Lu Hao.

Then, Lu Hao smoothly grabbed him by the neck.

"Cough... cough... cough, Fellow Daoist..."

Zuo Shaoyuan struggled continuously as Lu Hao choked him.

This was not merely a simple choking. Lu Hao had simultaneously sealed his Divine Soul and Nascent Soul. It could be said that if Lu Hao wished, he would have no hope of survival whatsoever.

Lu Hao looked at Zuo Shaoyuan, who was struggling in his hand, and said coldly:

"If it weren't for the fact that you didn't intend to secretly pocket my medicinal ingredients, do you think you'd still be able to beg for mercy from me here?"

Upon hearing this, Zuo Shaoyuan seemed to grasp at a final straw, and quickly said:

"Senior! Senior! It was my mistake, but my original intention was to admire your supreme demeanor! As Alchemists, when we saw the Nine Heavens Spirit Convergence Pill you refined, we were deeply impressed, which is why I resorted to such a desperate measure!"

"I apologize for any offense given to your Disciple before, Senior, please forgive me. I am willing to pay the price for my rash actions!"

"Good, remember what you said."

Lu Hao said indifferently, then casually flicked his hand, and Zuo Shaoyuan was sent flying like a cannonball, directly embedding himself into the wall of the secret chamber.

Shi Yi stood by, completely stunned... Master is too strong!

With just one hand, he pressed the most powerful expert in Danling State to the ground and rubbed him?

What is Master's true strength?!

Shi Yi's eyes couldn't help but become a little dazed...

So incredibly powerful, and so handsome, with such a warm and gentle personality—this is simply the perfect partner in the hearts of billions of female cultivators!

Thinking of this, her cheeks quickly flushed red. Shi Yi raised her hand to touch them and found them burning hot.

She quickly lowered her head, fearing that her appearance would be seen by Master, and then scolded herself internally.

Shi Yi! What are you thinking?! This is your Master! Quickly put away your unrealistic thoughts!

And don't you look at yourself, a mere Core Formation cultivation. Are you a toad wanting to eat swan meat?

Shi Yi, you are ugly but think beautifully. It's better to give up on those thoughts early and feel better...

What if...

What if a hammer! Shi Yi, stop dreaming. Master has given you a brand new life, he's already good enough to you, don't ask for more!

As long as you can stay by Master's side and do small things within your power for him, you should be content.

...

Lu Hao was unaware of Shi Yi's little schemes, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care. He originally needed someone to help him manage things.

He quietly looked at Zuo Shaoyuan, who was embedded in the wall in front of him.

This was a secret chamber built with ten-thousand-year-old cold iron!

Even with his Nascent Void Third Level Physical Body, Zuo Shaoyuan was a bit overwhelmed; he was completely disoriented now.

He painstakingly dug himself out of the wall, then respectfully cupped his fists and said to Lu Hao:

"Thank you, thank you, Senior, for sparing my life! I am Zuo Shaoyuan, may I inquire about Senior's esteemed name!"

"Lu Hao."

"Senior Lu, I was blind before. These are the medicinal ingredients obtained from the auction of your two Medicinal Pills, with a total value of seventy-eight and a half Top-Grade Spirit Stones."

"And here is an additional portion of medicinal ingredients I'm giving to Senior Lu, as an apology."

Lu Hao waved his hand, taking the two Storage Pouches into his hand. He scanned them with his Divine Sense, nodded, and said indifferently:

"Hmm, seeing that you don't have ill intentions, I'll let you off this time. Make sure there isn't a next time."

Zuo Shaoyuan felt as if he had received a great pardon and kept nodding and bowing:

"Yes, yes, yes! Senior Lu, if you ever need my help in the future, just tell me, and I will surely do it for you!"

"Oh?"

Lu Hao pondered for a moment, then slowly said:

"I actually do have something I'd like you to help me with."

"Senior Lu, please speak!"

"I wish to establish a new Alchemy Sect, and I urgently need a large quantity of Alchemy classics, Alchemy medicinal ingredients, Pill Furnaces, and the like. Can you help me procure a batch?"

Zuo Shaoyuan was startled upon hearing this. Senior Lu actually wants to establish an Alchemy Sect?!

However, he then thought, Senior Lu's Alchemy cultivation is not only astonishing, but his cultivation Realm is even more incredibly astonishing!

He could render him utterly helpless with just one hand. With such cultivation, establishing a Sect would be a small matter, wouldn't it?

"Senior Lu, how many people do you intend to supply with medicinal ingredients and Pill Furnaces?"

"Hmm... ten thousand people, I suppose."

"Alright, Senior Lu, please give me some time, I will definitely help you resolve it!"

Lu Hao smiled upon hearing this. If Shi Yi were to procure the medicinal ingredients, it would likely be inefficient, and the Rank of the medicinal ingredients purchased probably wouldn't be high.

But if Zuo Shaoyuan bought them, it should be much faster.

"Good, good, good, then I'll trouble Grandmaster Zuo. After the Pill Conference, perhaps? Is that acceptable?"

Zuo Shaoyuan's aged face showed a trace of a smile for the first time upon hearing this, and he said:

"No problem, no problem. It's just about the Spirit Stones, to be honest, my Pill Spirit Sect is a large enterprise, and the quantity you need is too great... I can't afford to advance the funds..."

Lu Hao then directly took out two hundred Top-Grade Spirit Stones from his Storage Pouch and tossed them to Zuo Shaoyuan.

"Are these enough?"

Zuo Shaoyuan's eyes widened when he saw the two hundred Top-Grade Spirit Stones, and he quickly said:

"Enough, enough! Senior Lu's generosity is truly impressive, I am awed! I have one more question, may I ask Senior Lu for guidance?"

"Speak freely."

"It's about... that Medicinal Pill with ninety percent medicinal efficacy must have come from Senior Lu. I'm being presumptuous, but I'd like to ask Senior Lu for some guidance on the art of stimulating medicinal efficacy..."

"In exchange, I can also venture to point out some issues in your Alchemy, Senior."

"What do you think... is this acceptable?"

This really is presumptuous...

Just moments ago, he was begging for his life under my hand, and now he's asking for guidance?

However, for Alchemists of Zuo Shaoyuan's level, their Alchemy attainments have long been stagnant for many years, without any progress.

Now that there is someone who is stronger than them in a certain aspect, they naturally seize the opportunity.

"Alright, I'm not in a hurry anyway, so I'll discuss the Dao with you!"
