Chapter 388 Xiang Zhongting

Qin Shaochen left Xiao Qin's house and went directly to the City Lord's Mansion.

When he arrived at the gate of the mansion, he saw someone guarding the gate.

It was the martial artist of the original City Lord's Mansion.

Qin Shaochen couldn't help shaking his head.

"Brother, please inform Deacon Xu Tong and tell him that an old friend is visiting."

At this moment, Qin Shaochen felt that two spiritual consciousnesses had scanned his body one after another.

Qin Shaochen looked calm and pretended to know nothing.

The two spiritual consciousnesses only stayed on him for a few seconds and then disappeared.

Obviously, a small martial artist visiting a friend in the City Lord's Mansion would not attract the attention of a great spiritualist.

After a while, Xu Tong came out to greet him.

When he saw that there was no air column on Qin Shaochen's head and he was not wearing the Qin family's clothes, he immediately understood.

His face was full of smiles.

"Brother Zhang, how are you? What do you want to see me for?"

"Of course I have something."

Qin Shaochen smiled and said:

"I have bought the pill you asked me to buy last time."

"That's great."

Xu Tong was delighted and immediately took Qin Shaochen's hand.

"Let's go in and talk..."

The two of them entered the City Lord's Mansion together.

***

On the highest attic in the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion, two middle-aged scholars dressed as scholars were drinking tea and playing chess.

But it seemed that they were not thinking about winning or losing the chess game.

Both of them picked up the chess pieces, looked at the chessboard casually, and then placed the pieces directly, playing very casually.

While playing chess, they were still chatting and laughing.

"Brother Xiang, do you have to wait until you have dealt with these messy things before you are willing to follow me back to the sect?"

The slightly younger scholar spoke.

"Master Taihao is in a hurry, hoping that you can go back and inherit his Tianyue Peak as soon as possible."

"Are you anxious now?"

The other scholar had a messy beard and was dressed casually, but his face was full of dissatisfaction.

"Back then, for a trivial matter, the sect demoted me to that remote place to be punished."

"How could he not be anxious when he saw me being punished?"

"Now that his proud disciple was killed by the Qingxuan Sect, he realized that his Tianyue Peak had no successor."

"Only then did he remember that he had a disciple like me."

"Hmph! But am I, Xiang Zhongting, the kind of person who can come and go at will?"

"This time, I have to delay a little more time to make that old man anxious in the sect."

"At least let that old man know that I am not the kind of person who can be dispensable."

The person who spoke was Xiang Zhongting, the leader of the Black Cloud Sect.

The great spiritualist who played chess with him was another inner disciple of the Puppet Sect, Zhong Wenhai.

This time, Zhong Wenhai was ordered by the sect to invite Xiang Zhongting to return to the Puppet Sect to inherit the mantle of a great elder.

However, Xiang Zhongting has always been narrow-minded and has always been resentful of the sect for exiling him.

When he saw his junior brother coming to invite him, he not only did not leave immediately, but ran to Huaitian City on the pretext of having something to do.

Zhong Wenhai had no choice but to follow him and help his senior brother deal with his private affairs first.

At this time, he heard that his senior brother wanted to wait for the great spiritualists of Qingxuan Sect and Wanzhen Sect to arrive before dealing with his private affairs. He knew that his senior brother was still indignant and wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble.

He felt uneasy and persuaded him.

He wanted Xiang Zhongting to return to the sect as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, Xiang Zhongting's words made Zhong Wenhai change his mind again.

It turned out that during the time Xiang Zhongting stayed in Longhunyuan, he used the Qi and Blood method to transform puppets, and accidentally discovered a new puppet technique.

That is, using the Qi and Blood technique, not only greatly reduced the cost of making puppets, but also directly transformed some spiritualists into puppets.

In the puppet technique of the Puppet Sect in the past, there was only a method of turning warriors into puppets.

And Xiang Zhongting is indeed a genius of the Puppet Sect. After twenty years of painstaking research, he actually created a method that can turn spiritualists into puppets.

Although the blood puppets made by that method have a very short lifespan, most of them do not live more than three years.

However, they are spiritualists after all.

The role they can play is much more practical than that of warriors.

It can be imagined that if a spiritualist who is good at alchemy is made into a puppet, he can make pills day and night.

The effect is much more useful than a warrior who can only fight and kill!

If Xiang Zhongting's method is really feasible, it will definitely be a great achievement for the Puppet Sect.

Therefore, Zhong Wenhai was gradually attracted by Xiang Zhongting's plan and began to cooperate with his senior brother.

"Junior brother Zhong, do you think I came to this place just to retrieve the sect's skills and avenge my two unpromising disciples?"

Xiang Zhongting shook his head with an unfathomable expression.

"Although those things are also things that need to be dealt with."

"But they are not the point."

"The real purpose of my senior brother coming to Huaitian City this time is to capture a few spiritual masters with some cultivation and do some research."

"After making a few more, it should be confirmed that my senior brother's method is completely feasible."

"I see."

"Then why do you have to come to Huaitian City to capture people?"

As an inner disciple of the Puppet Sect, Zhong Wenhai is also very interested in that method.

But there is still something puzzling.

Xiang Zhongting casually placed a black piece on the chessboard and then said:

"Of course, it's because there are many spiritualists here."

"You can easily catch several of them."

"The most important thing is that in the Great Chu State, all the spiritualists, big and small, have some background."

"If you catch the wrong person, you might get into trouble."

"And in Huaitian City, the two families with the surnames Wang and Qin are the most ideal targets."

"Wang Family and Qin Family?"

Zhong Wenhai was a little puzzled.

"As far as I know, those two families are both families with some status in the provincial capital. Why do you say they are the most suitable?"

"Haha!"

Xiang Zhongting smiled quite proudly.

"Before coming, Senior Brother had done some research."

"Both the Wang and Qin families do have great spiritualists."

"However, the ancestors of those two families are all great spiritualists over 300 years old."

"They all have very little life left."

"The most important thing is that both of their families can be considered to have no successors."

"Among the combined families, there are many people who have cultivated to the late stage of Qi training, but there is not a single spiritualist who has the opportunity to advance to the foundation building stage."

"For a family like that, once the ancestor of the family dies, the sect behind them will naturally no longer care about that declining family. They will let it fend for itself."

"So, catching spiritualists from that family, even if you catch a few more, will not leave any trouble."

Just when he said this, he suddenly stopped.

A strange smile appeared on his face.

"I didn't expect that someone would quit so soon and come to the door."

"Junior Brother, let's go and see, who is coming in such a hurry, is it the Wang family or the Qin family."

Zhong Wenhai was shocked to realize that there seemed to be a trace of spiritual consciousness passing through him just now.

If Xiang Zhongting hadn't reminded him, he really wouldn't have reacted and had been spied on.

"Okay, this matter will be of great benefit to the sect."

"It's reasonable for me to support my senior brother."

"Let's go and meet the brothers and see if the one coming is a master from the Qingxuan Sect or a master from the Wanzhen Sect."

After saying that, the two of them performed the Levitation Technique almost at the same time, and they flashed out of the attic and rose into the air.
