Transmigrant Alchemist And His Magic Wagon

Pay off debts

"What does this mean, brother Su?" said a man.

"Why did you bring unknown people to this 'lodging?"

The man was slender in stature and his facial line was smooth as a woman but the look in his eyes could not fool anyone who saw him that he was a strong man.

"Brother Che, they saved us from the spirit beasts, they accidentally came into contact with the people we were chasing," Su said.

"How dare! You told me your purpose in the Sky Feet Mountain? You have broken the master's orders!" said the man named Che in a loud voice.

The atmosphere was getting tense at the side of the people dressed in black. It seemed that now they looked like they would not let go of Mu Lian's group just like that.

"Who are you! How dare you deliver weapons to us!" said Ling Zizhou who just walked into the inn.

Ling Zizhou unsheathed his jian then directed it towards the people who swarmed Mu Lian, Meimei and Meng Zhi.

"Zhouzhou, put the gun back together. We will not attack these people," Meng Zhi said calming Ling Zizhou.

"Can't! We have guaranteed the safety of both of their groups but they do not know thank you. At least they want to help us purify the contamination of the abyssal aura on Lian'er's body!" ling Zizhou said quickly.

"You're contaminated with the aura of an abyssal creature?" said a man named Che.

"Yes brother Che. They were in contact with 'those people'," Su said trying to explain back.

The black-clothed people surrounding Mu Lian stared at each other. They then judged Mu Lian, Meimei and Meng Zhi from head to toe.

"I don't believe it..."

"Why can..."

"Have they..."

The people dressed in black whispered to each other with a friend next to him. They discussed Mu Lian's group meeting the people they were chasing and regarding the contamination of the aura of the abyssal beings.

"What's this?" said a man from the entrance of the inn.

When the black-clothed people saw the man enter the inn and stop near Ling Zizhou, they saluted the man in a perfect manner.

"Master Zhengheng!" said the people dressed in black, no exception to the man named Che.

"He'er, are you okay?" said Master Zhengheng while checking on the state of the young man named He. Then Master Zhengheng's eyes met with Ling Zizhou who was observing him.

"Master Zhengheng, forgive our disrespectful attitude that came to this inn all of a sudden," Meng Zhi said.

Meng Zhi took the opportunity when the black-clothed people were bowing to salute Master Zhengheng to break through and approach Master Zhengheng.

"Master, I came back to report the incident at the Sky Feet Mountain," Su said.

"Oh, brother Su. You and He'er seem to have fallen in a dangerous condition on Sky Feet Mountain. And who is it? It seems that I've already troublesome you to look after Brother Su and He'er," Master Zhengheng said.

His attitude looked relaxed in the eyes of the people but his eyes were staring at Meng Zhi warily. This happened because Master Zhengheng did not know Mu Lian's group.

This inn served as a temporary headquarters for himself and his people. They gathered together to discuss about their secret mission in this inn.

So Master Zhengheng considered this inn to be a secret place that no one should know about.

If they did not have a good reason to come to this inn, then very forcedly, Master Zhengheng acted in a rude manner.

"I'm sorry I was late to introduce myself to you, my name is Meng Zhi" Meng Zhi said as she cupped her hands together.

"Meng Zhi's? You're from Zhongjian?" said Master Zhengheng surprised.

"True Master Zhengheng. I think I've heard your name too. Are you the Grandmaster Array of Zhongjian?" said Meng Zhi.

"Haha! I'm glad I finally met you. Please enter! Che, prepare tea for these guests!" master Zhengheng said.

"Good Master!" said a man named Che.

His manner was extremely obedient in front of Master Zhengheng, differing one hundred and eighty degrees with the intimidating aura he displayed in front of Mu Lian's group.

Master Zhengheng had his men deal with the young man named He while the man named Su forced to immediately report the incident at the Sky Feet Mountain.

Mu Lian and the others were brought into a room in the middle of which was a rectangular wooden table. The chairs are visible on the left and right sides of the table.

A man named Che and two people dressed in black were seen cleaning the papers scattered on the table.

He glanced at Mu Lian and when he found himself observing the papers on the table.

Mu Lian felt the papers were very secretive so she swept her gaze around the room. Mu Lian was afraid that she would be accused of spying on Master Zhengheng's group.

After Mu Lian and the others sat down and served a cup of tea. Master Zhengheng, Meng Zhi and Meimei made small talk.

It turned out that Meng Zhi and Meimei were a famous couple in Zhongjian, although Mu Lian did not know where Zhongjian was exactly.

"Azhou, what is a dao couple?" whispered Mu Lian.

Ling Zizhou who was drinking his tea immediately spouted the tea. After trying to ease his cough, Ling Zizhou glared at Mu Lian.

"You're! always be curious about unimportant things! The pair of cultivators was often referred to as the dao pair. Like yin and yang paired so did the cultivators. But you're a kid! So don't think about it!" said Ling Zizhou commemorating Mu Lian.

Mu Lian opened her mouth, about to protest because Ling Zizhou called her a child. Mu Lian is a late teenager. He's 19 years old!

"Ahem! so Master Zhengheng. I have information I want to share with you, in exchange I want to ask you for help," Meng Zhi said turning Master Zhengheng's attention to Mu Lian and Ling Zizhou.

Ling Zizhou's voice sounded so loud that it was heard by the people sitting around the table. Meimei smiled faintly as he glanced towards Ling Zizhou.

Mu Lian did not protest because Meng Zhi began to open up talks about the incident at the Sky Feet Mountain.

"Oh. The girl and young man who came with you is really interesting, Brother Meng Zhi," said Master Zhengheng smiling towards Mu Lian and Ling Zizhou.

"Ah. They are very talented but a little unique. So please understand" Meimei said. Master Zhengheng simply nodded.

"So what information do you want to share? Just so you know, even if you don't share information with me, I will still help you because I have brought Su and He'er back safely" said Master Zhengheng.

Actually the reason Master Zhengheng was not vigilant anymore in front of Meng Zhi was because Meng Zhi was very famous in Zhongjian.

Master Zhengheng made sure Meng Zhi's features were the same as what he had heard in Zhongjian. Because there was only one Meng Zhi, one of the famous Alchemy expert companions.

"Master!" protesting a man named Che. He and the man named Su sat on the left and right side of Master Zhengheng. Master Zhengheng glanced towards the man named Che then the man fell silent.

"I met three people who you seem to be chasing. Earlier I had spoken to brother Su so I could confirm that the traits that brother Su told me were one hundred percent the same as the three people who were dealing with our group," said Meng Zhi after the calm atmosphere returned.

"Oh? Alright I really appreciate it if you would share such information," Master Zhengheng finally said.

Meng Zhi also recounted the incident when the three men came to the cave. Then Meng Zhi told about the mixed spirit beast as well as its characteristics. The man named Su gasped because Meng Zhi had never told him about the spirit beast.

Meng Zhi apologized to the man named Su on the grounds that Meng Zhi was about to keep the important information up to find the right person.

"When the young master had just left for the capital," said the man named Che with a sigh. He then asked permission to write a letter and leave the room.

"Thank you, you helped us. Had there been no information regarding that mixed spirit beast, it might have been that many casualties had fallen from our side," Master Zhengheng said.

"Masters. No need, because I want to ask for your help," Meng Zhi said.

The man named Su remained seated in his place, he was about to help Meng Zhi to convince Master Zhengheng but it seemed unnecessary.

"What can I help you with?" master Zhengheng said. Meng Zhi later recounted that she and Mu Lian's group were contaminated with an abyssal aura.

The man named Su then took over to explain the state of Mu Lian's group. After Meng Zhi and the man named Su finished explaining, Master Zhengheng nodded.

"Your name is Lian right?" master Zhengheng asked carefully.

Master Zhengheng was surprised to hear Mu Lian's name from Meng Zhi. The Mu clan only belonged to one very famous family in this entire world.

So Master Zhengheng had the intuition that this girl had a relationship with the Mu family.

"Right, Master Zhengheng," Mu Lian replied.

"Can you feel the chi around you? Whenever is that?" ask Master Zhengheng.

"Yes, I can feel it" Mu Lian replied.

"Hmm you seem to have a sensitivity to feel the chi around you so that the symptoms suffered when contaminated with abyssal aura very quickly appear" said Master Zhengheng continued

"Alright, we'll do the purification soon. Please tell Che to prepare the required tools and materials,"

"Good master," said the man named Su then saying goodbye to convey the message.

"How about you rest in the room I've prepared?" master Zhengheng said.

"Then we will trouble you, master," said Meng Zhi and Meimei while cupping both hands. Mu Lian and Ling Zizhou followed.

Master Zhengheng led Mu Lian and the others down the second-floor hallway then stopped in a room. The door opened and a man dressed in black was seen cleaning the room.

Master Zhengheng walked into the spacious room. There is a canopied bed with a short dip. A dresser and chair are located on the other side of the room.

"I'm sorry if this room looks so simple. This is the only inn in Mare village," Master Zhengheng continued

"This room is for the girls while the room for the boys is next door,"

Master Zhengheng left Mu Lian and Meimei to rest. Ling Zizhou and Meng Zhi followed Master Zhengheng into the next room.

"You know? Master Zhengheng is one of the five Grandmasters in the Array field?" Meimei.

Meimei saw Mu Lian who was lying on the bed getting sleepy so Meimei started the conversation. Mu Lian's half-covered eyes instantly opened when she heard Meimei's voice.

"Hmm, are the levels in the Array field similar to Alchemy?" mu Lian said while yawning.

Meimei smiled looking at Mu Lian who was fighting against drowsiness. It was only natural that Mu Lian had not slept since midnight.

"Yes, there are five levels that are often found in the Array field" Meimei said.

Mu Lian nodded then asked what the Array experts could do. Meimei explained what an Array was and what Array experts could do.

Mu Lian listened enthusiastically while thinking about whether the Array would match Xiaoxiao's.

Mu Lian thought of taking Master Zhengheng to the Eastern Ufuk Valley and meeting him with Xiaoxiao, who knew the Array was the best way for Xiaoxiao.

When Mu Lian and Meimei were picked up by Ling Zizhou and Meng Zhi for lunch with Master Zhengheng, Mu Lian's drowsiness grew even more unbearable.

Mu Lian yawned as she continued to try to bribe the food she had in her chopsticks. The conversational voice of Meng Zhi and Master Zhengheng sounded faintly in Mu Lian's ears.

"Lian'er, get your bowl. I'll add the rice" Meimei said.

Mu Lian did not realize that her bowl was empty. So what had Mu Lian been putting in her mouth?

"Oh. Here," Mu Lian said as she handed over her empty bowl.

"Have you tried the peking duck? Well, I got it twice more" Ling Zizhou said.

"OKs. I'll try all the food on this table" said Mu Lian.

"okay?' muttered Ling Zizhou while shaking his head. He had only heard the word 'Ok' his entire life.

After thinking and not finding what it meant, Ling Zizhou continued to eat his favorite duck meat.

"This," Meimei said as he handed the bowl that was already filled with rice to Mu Lian.

"Thank you, Jiejie," said Mu Lian.

The man named Che and some people dressed in black came when Mu Lian and the others finished lunch. It seemed like the tools and materials to carry out the purification had been completed collected.

Master Zhengheng then took Mu Lian and the others to the grounds. Mu Lian saw some unfamiliar items placed near the small pond.

Master Zhengheng told Mu Lian and the others to wait for the Array to finish drawing. Mu Lian looked at Master Zhengheng who was drawing straight lines on the ground with sparkling eyes.

Master Zhengheng drew those lines with an object resembling a ruby stone, yes the color of the stone was blood red.

But the stone can be used like chalk, used for writing or drawing.

Thirty minutes later, the lines Master Zhengheng drew formed an intricate pattern. Some circles are seen cutting straight lines in some places.

"Array is finished drawing. Now it's just to put the materials needed in the available circles" said Master Zhengheng.

Several times Master Zhengheng found Mu Lian staring at the Array he had created enthusiastically.

Feeling Mu Lian was interested in the Array, Master Zhengheng explained the next necessary step.

Mu Lin took Master Zhengheng's explanation seriously. His gaze could never escape wherever Master Zhengheng went to put things like herbs, spirit beast cores or a heart inside the circle.

After all the materials were in place, Mu Lian was welcome to enter the largest circle located at the center of the array.

"Sit in a meditative manner. Whatever happens stay focused on your meditation," said Master Zhengheng.

"Well, Master Zhengheng," Mu Lian said then sat in the middle of the circle and entered the meditation stage.

Master Zhengheng performed a hand gesture to activate the array. Moments later the lines on the array shone brightly including the circle where Mu Lian was sitting.

Mu Lian felt something stir in her. Mu Lian peered into her dantian, where her sea of chi was spitting out black liquids from the depths.

Mu Lian felt the temperature in her body rise. In the process, the black liquid then evaporated and came out of Mu Lian's body.

The longer, the more Mu Lian's body temperature rose. Panic began to engulf Mu Lian. Mu Lian was in a dilemma because given Master Zhengheng's remark, that no matter what happened she should remain focused on meditating.
