C302 The Winter Wind Was Heavy
Xiao Chen furrowed his brows. He suddenly felt like he had asked the wrong question.
"So, he is also a member of Medicine King's Valley? Then, how did these storage ring come about?"
What Xiao Chen cared about wasn't the genius or the traitor. What he cared about was the origin of these storage ring.
"That's a treasure of the sect. I heard that there aren't many of them in the entire sect. And this one is considered a token of the sect."
"It's said that being bestowed with this ring means that it will be the next Sect Master!"
Upper Envoy's eyes shone with green light. He looked at the ring in Xiao Chen's hand that was filled with greed. He had even forgotten about his current situation.
"Over the years, every time the sect opens, someone will go out to search for it. It has only been a few decades, but no one has found it."
"I never thought that it would be me..." Speaking up to this point, the green light in Upper Envoy's eyes became even more intense.
But in any case, he still noticed the impatient look in Xiao Chen's eyes. He shrunk his neck and covered the words behind him.
A fierce light flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes. He didn't know that this storage ring had such an origin.
Now, to him, this was no longer as simple as a storage ring. Instead, it had become a hot potato.
However, he didn't show it. He shouted with a cold face, "It seems that you still don't understand my words!"
"I'm asking you, how did your sect obtain those storage ring, or who it was, and how did you refine them?"
Xiao Chen's voice was stern, and his impatient tone carried a thick coldness.
Hearing this, Upper Envoy was stunned. He blinked his large eyes, as if he did not understand what Xiao Chen meant.
However, this guy was not stupid. He took a deep breath and hurriedly said, "You asked me this. I, I don't know either."
"I just heard that there was such a storage ring in the sect before. I really don't know how it got here. I swear!"
As he spoke, Upper Envoy pointed his finger at the sky, as if he was afraid that Xiao Chen would not believe him.
Xiao Chen frowned and said, "What about those medicinal pills? How did you refine them?"
"This is using a formation to gather lava and earth fire, using the formation as the furnace. After a few days of refinement, only then..."
"Earthfire?" Xiao Chen immediately revealed a look of understanding. He had forgotten that there was actually such a hand.
This also explained why even though there was no true qi, he could still refine pills.
"Could it be that I was wrong? Since I can use earth fire to concoct pills, I can naturally use earth fire to quench my equipment. But..."
Something like earth fire was a natural energy. Compared to spiritual energy, it was much less controllable. Furthermore, most of it was violent.
Just by looking at the pills that this fellow took out, one would be able to know a thing or two about it.
Controlling Earth fire to refine this token storage ring was not an easy task.
At the very least, the fellow who could only refine these useless medicinal pills could not do it.
"Could it be those so-called Xiantian?" Xiao Chen muttered quietly.
He could not rule out this possibility.
After all, the Xiantian realm was the highest realm that he currently knew of the existence of martial practitioners.
Such a person naturally wouldn't easily take action, so it wasn't impossible for the things that were refined to be treated as sect treasures.
"Since that's the case, wouldn't it be fine if I refined another one? Why would I need to expend so much effort to find that traitor?"
"You might not know this, but that traitor did not just take away a token. Also, there's also..."
"What else?" Xiao Chen's face turned stern as he asked sternly.
Upper Envoy looked around and lowered his voice. "And our sect's treasure."
"What is that?"
"Isn't the ring in your hand? Have you never seen what's inside?" asked ___.
"A stone plate?" The only thing Xiao Chen could think of was that strange stone plate.
However, if this thing was regarded as the ultimate treasure of the sect, then this Medicine King's Valley was really pitiful.
"What stone piece? It's the Nine Trigrams Furnace! It's said that it was left behind by the Medicine King's Valley's Ancestral Master a thousand years ago. As long as we can study the secret of the Nine Trigrams Furnace, we will be able to recreate the glory of the Medicine King's Valley when they looked down on the other sects."
"Nine Trigrams Furnace?" Xiao Chen had never seen that thing before. "What does it look like?"
"I don't know the details either. After all, only the core members of the sect can come into contact with that thing. Besides, it has been missing for decades."
Since he had spoken, Upper Envoy did not hide anything.
"Little, no hero, I have already told you everything that needed to be said. You, just let me go! Let me go!"
"What are you in a hurry for!? How many Xiantian experts does the Medicine King's Valley have?"
"You, why are you asking this?"
"I'm asking. Why? I can't!" Xiao Chen said calmly, his eyes slowly turning.
"Okay, okay!" Upper Envoy did not dare to say half a word. He hurriedly nodded.
"It is said that the Sect Master and the few senior granduncles are all at the Xiantian realm. There might be three or four of them."
"Medicine King's Valley, other than that troublesome storage ring, is the warehouse where the treasures are hidden big?"
"What are you trying to do?" At this moment, Upper Envoy finally noticed that something was wrong. He stared at Upper Envoy in surprise.
"I'm not doing anything. I'm just measuring whether this Medicine King's Valley is worth me making a trip to. That's all." Xiao Chen said calmly.
Upper Envoy reacted for a while before finding an explanation for himself.
After all, everyone who participated in this exchange meeting was aiming to enter the Hidden Sect.
He naturally understood Xiao Chen's words as the choice of the sect. He thought that Xiao Chen wanted to enter the Medicine King's Valley.
This was exactly what Upper Envoy wanted. As long as he entered the ___, he would have plenty of opportunities to teach Xiao Chen a lesson.
However, he didn't know that Xiao Chen had no interest in the Hidden Sect at all. What he cared about was the collection in the Hidden Sect.
"Of course it's big. Although his strength isn't above all the other sects, concocting pills is the best. Naturally, there will be a reward for his stockpile."
"Is that so?" The corner of Xiao Chen's mouth curled up as he smiled faintly.
"That, now, can you let me go..."
"Indeed, it doesn't seem to be of any use to catch you anymore!" Xiao Chen said lightly, but in the next moment, he raised his palm.
With a cracking sound, the top of Upper Envoy's skull was shattered.
This man... Before Upper Envoy could finish his words, he swallowed his words before he could even exhale.
Then, he tilted to the side and fell to the ground with a thud.
"You killed him?" Zhang Xiaoxiao finally turned around. She looked at Upper Envoy's corpse and asked with a frown.
"Didn't you also mean that? Staying behind will only bring disaster to us in the end!"
Xiao Chen had no intention of handing over what he had obtained. Since this storage ring had some other meaning, he couldn't expose it either.
Besides, these people from the Hidden Sect were bossy and arrogant. Who knew how much trouble they would bring if they let it go?
Zhang Xiaoxiao opened her mouth but did not say anything. Her trembling eyes could not conceal the worry in them.
Naturally, the corpse could not just be left alone. After taking out the Black Yellow Fruit, Xiao Chen turned to the edge of the cliff and threw it away.
He clapped his hands and only then did he sweep his gaze towards the forest further away. The corner of his mouth twitched.
"The winter wind is heavy, and the social meeting is imminent. If everyone gets a cold or cold, wouldn't it be a great loss?"
