Chapter 27: 【Brother-in-law Hou Zhao, Avenging Her】 (Seeking recommendation votes)

Although Spirit Plant Masters seemed not as noble as alchemists from the outside, within the sect, Spirit Plant Masters controlled the supply of spirit herbs, which was equivalent to holding the lifeline of some bottom-level alchemists.

They couldn't afford the high-priced materials in the sect, so they had to curry favor with these Spirit Plant Masters.

And the Spirit Plant Master group also had interest dealings with these bottom-level alchemists, and they were still harmonious with each other.

"Brother Hou is too polite."

Lu Chengtong entered Hou Zhao's house, and Hou Zhao hurriedly poured him a cup of tea.

This tea was not a spirit herb, but it was not a mundane tea either; it was planted in the Herb Garden, had a certain spirituality, refreshed the mind, and the taste was mellow.

Many Spirit Plant Masters in the Herb Garden would plant some in suitable places, which wouldn't affect the growth of spirit herbs and could also add an income.

In order to obtain resources and struggle for the Dao to cultivate, everyone used every method.

Hou Zhao smiled and drank a cup with Lu Chengtong first, then asked:

"Brother Cheng's visit, is it because there is a surplus of Baiyuan Fruit?"

Lu Chengtong nodded and said with a smile:

"Exactly, it's rare to have a bumper harvest, and after delivering what is needed, there is some surplus now, so I remembered what Brother Hou said and came to look for you."

"That's great, Brother Cheng, rest assured, I will definitely not let you suffer a loss."

Hou Zhao said happily.

Lu Chengtong took out fifteen Baiyuan Fruits, and Hou Zhao gave three low-grade spirit stones.

One spirit stone for five Baiyuan Fruits, this was the market price, but buying in the sect, one spirit stone could only buy four Baiyuan Fruits.

After giving the spirit stones, Hou Zhao took out a pill bottle that had been prepared long ago and pushed it to Lu Chengtong.

"In here, there are three Gathering Qi Pills, together as a reward. Please accept them, Brother Cheng."

There were many Outer Sect Disciples on Danquan Peak; why did Lu Chengtong supply Baiyuan Fruit exclusively to him, Hou Zhao?

In order to continuously obtain low-priced Baiyuan Fruit, he needed to increase the price.

This was a seller's market, and he had to do this.

However, Lu Chengtong pushed the pills back and said with a smile:

"No need for pills. To tell you the truth, Brother Hou, I am also learning alchemy, but I am a wild path who learned it by myself, so I hope I can observe when Brother Hou refines pills, so that I can learn one or two. I don't know if Brother Hou is willing?"

Hou Zhao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said with great joy:

"Of course, it is my honor to be able to help Brother Cheng."

For him, Cheng Tongru didn't possess any danger, and letting him observe alchemy by his side, he wouldn't suffer a loss either.

Saving three Gathering Qi Pills was his own profit!

Lu Chengtong made such a request, naturally to be closer to Hou Zhao, and to meet more often, so that he could find an opportunity to ask about things.

In fact, Lu Chengtong could completely obtain Hou Zhao's memory through the 【Soul-Bewitching Soul-Seizing】 supernatural power.

But the memory obtained that way was only scattered, and might miss key information.

Soul searching was still necessary, and approaching Hou Zhao and letting him speak out some things himself was also necessary.

The two talked happily, and before parting, Lu Chengtong unleashed the supernatural power on Hou Zhao to obtain his memory.

Various pictures flashed in his mind.

Lu Chengtong looked at Hou Zhao, who was in a coma and lying on the table, with complex eyes, sighed, and returned to the Herb Garden.

The relationship between Hou Zhao and Lu Guanfei was even closer than he had imagined.

The two of them were Dao companions.

After Lu Guanfei disappeared, Hou Zhao had been looking for her traces, until he found that two days before the day Lu Guanfei was clearly confirmed to have disappeared, an elder named "Sun Xiao" had called her over.

Hou Zhao suspected that Lu Guanfei might have disappeared on the day Sun Xiao called her, and the time given by the sect was just a wrong piece of information to confuse others.

Sun Xiao was an elder of Zhenjing Peak, specializing in arrays, and had never had any intersection with Lu Guanfei; this summons was definitely unusual.

Hou Zhao didn't continue to investigate, but began to work hard to improve his cultivation.

Because he learned that many Lu family disciples had died.

Without strength, to touch the truth, the result was only a sudden death.

After returning to the Herb Garden, Lu Chengtong thought about how to deal with this matter.

Although they were just some scattered memory fragments, it could be seen that Hou Zhao was indeed infatuated with Lu Guanfei.

In a sense, Hou Zhao could be considered Lu Chengtong's cousin-in-law.

But the secret of his identity must never be exposed, and no one could be told.

Then there was no possibility of cooperation between the two.

Hou Zhao's talent was good, three spirit roots, superior fire spirit root, a medium-grade wood spirit root, and a low-grade earth spirit root.

Wood generates fire, fire generates earth.

The future of cultivation was bright, Foundation Establishment was definitely not a problem, and there was also great hope for forming a core.

If he could help him again, maybe he could achieve Golden Core earlier than himself and find out the truth.

Of course, thinking more darkly.

With Hou Zhao at the front to investigate, he could also hide better behind the scenes.

After thinking about it, Lu Chengtong decided to give Hou Zhao a 【Spring Breeze Turns to Rain】 supernatural power.

In the Lu family's inheritance, the most numerous were the 【Spring Breeze Turns to Rain】 and 【Submerged Abyss Earth Escape】 supernatural power Dao Fruits.

During the time Lu Guanfei and Hou Zhao were together, she had shown this ability; although she didn't expose the matter of the supernatural power Dao seed, this ability was indeed easy for him to accept.

This supernatural power could accelerate the growth of spirit herbs, so Hou Zhao had a relatively stable way to obtain wealth.

Spirit stones were the key to rapid cultivation growth in the early stages.

Lu Chengtong decided to give Hou Zhao a Foundation Establishment mid-stage Dao Fruit; this way, possessing the soul power of a Foundation Establishment mid-stage, Hou Zhao's alchemy would also make great progress.

He would definitely be able to rise rapidly!

It was just that after this time, he wouldn't be able to tamper with Hou Zhao's memory, so he needed to arrange some things in advance and implant them into Hou Zhao's memory.

It took a month for Lu Chengtong to properly sort out the content he needed to change.

And then, he snuck into the place where Hou Zhao was and unleashed the 【Soul-Bewitching Soul-Seizing】 supernatural power on him.

In a trance, Hou Zhao found himself in a pavilion; outside the pavilion, stood the person he had been thinking about day and night.

"Qin'er!"

He rushed towards the figure, but found that the pavilion had an array restriction, trapping him inside.

Lu Guanfei turned her back to Hou Zhao and said:

"I am not her. I am just her last thought; she left you something."

"Remember, avenge her!"

After speaking, this figure turned into light spots and drifted away.

"No!"

Hou Zhao rushed forward again, the restriction on the edge of the pavilion disappeared, but he missed.

A feeling of weightlessness came, and he woke up suddenly, but found that there was one more thing in his hand.

Looking at it, some content appeared in his mind.

'Supernatural power Dao seed, refine it, obtain the supernatural power 【Spring Breeze Turns to Rain】, and obtain the soul power of a Foundation Establishment mid-stage.'

Looking at the fruit in his hand, Hou Zhao's body trembled, and the sad emotion was gradually suppressed; he gritted his teeth and said:

"Qin'er! I will definitely avenge you! So what if it's the Golden Core Realm, I will definitely find out the truth!"

As he spoke, he moved the supernatural power Dao seed towards his Mud Pill Palace, absorbed it, refined it, and obtained the supernatural power.

Seeing Hou Zhao start to refine the Dao Fruit, Lu Chengtong left.

Otherwise, Hou Zhao, who had obtained the soul power of a Foundation Establishment mid-stage, would discover his existence.

Lu Chengtong, who returned to the Herb Garden, thought about how to investigate the next step.
