Chapter 428 Dragon Carp
"The sect leader's alchemy room is full of treasures! I can take you to find them all!"

The disciples of the Medicine King Sect knew that their lives were entirely in the hands of others, so they could only keep throwing out bargaining chips to save their lives.

"Alchemy room?"

Xie Lingxin smiled: "I've already wiped out the Medicine King Sect, and this place is still at my beck and call. Can't I go there myself?"

The disciple of the Medicine King Sect quickly said, "Young Master, you naturally possess boundless magical power, but the alchemy room is protected by a restriction set up by the sect master. If you don't know the proper method, entering will be quite troublesome."

"Young master is a noble person, so let me do the work for you!"

"Ah!"

Xie Lingxin couldn't help but laugh: "You really are a talent."

"Thank you for the compliment, young master!"

He immediately kowtowed repeatedly, his face beaming with ecstatic joy.

If it were someone else, I probably wouldn't have felt comfortable killing him.

"Okay, then take me there."

Xie Lingxin remained noncommittal.

"So, young master has promised not to kill me?"

The man was overjoyed, but still spoke cautiously.

Xie Lingxin smiled and said, "As long as you make me happy, why not spare your life?"

"Greedy, and without principles!"

Li Miaoyin muttered something under her breath.

She could tell too.

Xie Lingxin's outburst at the Medicine King Sect seems to be an attempt to avenge his mysterious, unknown brother.

Li Jingzhe said, "Since Brother Xie has something to attend to, we will take our leave now. If Brother Xie needs anything, please feel free to contact me."

He knew Xie Lingxin was going to ransack the place, so he couldn't just stand by and watch.

Xie Lingxin understood his intentions, but waved her hand and said, "There's no need, there's nothing to avoid."

"To be honest, I'm short of money. If there's anything you like, just say the word and I'll pay you!"

Upon hearing this, Li Jingzhe couldn't help but smile: "Brother Xie is still as straightforward as ever."

"No, no, no, your sister is right, I am greedy."

Xie Ling thought to herself, "Let me make it clear beforehand, I won't give you any freebies."

Li Miaoyin gritted her teeth: "Greedy for money, shameless!"

Li Jingzhe laughed and said, "Alright, of course I won't let Brother Xie suffer a loss."

An Daoyuan was dead, but he wanted to see if there were any other longevity pills in the Medicine King Sect, so he could try his luck.

"lead the way."

"Yes Yes Yes!"

The disciples of the Medicine King Sect dared not play any tricks.

Even the sect leader was reduced to mincemeat; he was already terrified.

They quickly led Xie Lingxin and the others to an inconspicuous place.

This is a courtyard with a lake of emerald green water in the middle.

It is indeed elegant and beautiful.

But it doesn't look like a pill refinery at all.

It doesn't look like a place where treasures are hidden.

Xie Lingxin looked at the Medicine King Sect disciple with suspicion, her expression already showing some hostility.

"Please wait a moment, young master! I would never dare to deceive you!"

The man was startled and quickly said...

"Please lend me that jade whistle, young master."

He pointed cautiously to Xie Lingxin's waist.

Xie Lingxin looked down.

Then I realized he was referring to something hanging from his waist.

Something about the size of a little finger.

The robe was taken off An Daoyuan's body, and he only regarded it as an ornament on his clothes.

I didn't expect it to be a whistle?
Xie Lingxin wasn't afraid of him playing tricks, so she took off the jade whistle.

"Please wait a moment, young master."

The disciple of the Medicine King Sect carefully took it, went to the lakeside, and blew the whistle.

The whistle sounded crisp and melodious, carrying far and wide.

Li Miaoyin leaned closer and looked at her curiously.

After a while, nothing happened.

He couldn't help but mock Xie Lingxin, "I think you've been made a fool of."

"Gurgling..."

Just then, as if to slap her in the face, the lake water behind her suddenly started bubbling and gurgling.

"Crash!"

A burst of water suddenly erupted.

Water droplets rained down and drenched Li Miaoyin from head to toe.

She turned around angrily, but suddenly froze, tilting her head back and opening her mouth wide.

It was as if I was seeing something incredible.

It was a golden-red carp, about six or seven meters long from head to tail.

Its long tail fin, like a red ribbon, flutters and dances on both sides and at the tail.

Its body is covered in golden-red scales, each the size of a palm, reflecting the stars, moon, and water, creating a shimmering effect.

Two long, golden whiskers curled out, adding a touch of holiness to the dreamlike scene.

Its golden-red attire reflects a myriad of colors, creating a dreamlike and enchanting scene.

A glint of greed flashed in the eyes of the Medicine King Sect disciples when they saw the red carp.

But he quickly suppressed it, took the jade whistle, and blew it again.

The red carp danced in response.

The lake water suddenly split in the middle, and waves gathered, forming a staircase leading to the bottom of the lake.

He turned around and walked back, saying obsequiously, "Young master, the sect leader's alchemy room is at the bottom of the lake."

"This red carp is the most prized treasure of our Medicine King Sect! A Dragon Carp!"

"Only it can open this alchemy chamber, and this jade whistle is the only way to control it."

He carefully returned the jade whistle to it, holding it in both hands.

Xie Lingxin took back the jade whistle, glanced at it, and then looked up at the red carp swimming in the air, swaying its long tail fins on the lake surface.

Dragon carp?

Xie Ling thought of the Dragon Liver in the medicinal herb field. Could this be the origin of the Dragon Liver cultivated by the Medicine King Sect? Is it the Dragon Seed?

Xie Lingxin held up the jade whistle and said, "An Daoyuan wouldn't just let anyone know about this, would he? How do you know how to use it?"

The man chuckled and said, "I have followed the sect leader for many years and have won his favor, so... hehe."

Li Miaoyin sneered, "I think you're harboring evil intentions. On one hand, you're currying favor with An Daoyuan to gain his favor and trust, and on the other hand, you've secretly learned this method of controlling dragon carp, haven't you?"

The disciples of the Medicine King Sect could only laugh awkwardly and bow repeatedly.

It is clear that Li Miaoyin's sarcastic remarks were true.

This person had previously offered An Daoyuan a rare herb, the Seven Bright Nine Lights Herb, which shows how much he had gone to great lengths and how much An Daoyuan trusted him.

Little did they know that this man harbored wolfish ambitions.

Fortunately, he was already dead, otherwise, knowing the truth would probably have caused him a lot of trouble.

"How to use this thing?"

Xie Lingxin held the jade whistle.

If there were dragon species capable of cultivating the Fulong Liver, he would value it far more than any spiritual herbs or elixirs.

The disciples of the Medicine King Sect had a flicker in their eyes.

He could put aside everything else, but this was something he had poured years of effort into, and even though his life was in someone else's hands, he couldn't help but hesitate.

Xie Lingxin laughed and said, "You think you're safe now?"

He was startled and quickly forced a smile: "Young master, you misunderstand! I was just thinking back. After all, I was going to tell you, so I couldn't afford to make any mistakes!"

"This... young master?"

He turned and glanced at Li Jingzhe and Li Miaoyin.

Li Jingzhe understood and said, "Brother Xie, the Medicine King Sect is quite large. If you trust us, Miaoyin and I will go and take a look at other places first."

Xie Lingxin believed Li Jingzhe, but not Li Miaoyin.

He then said, "Alright."

He didn't want to share something like a dragon carp with anyone.

Li Jingzhe then pulled the indignant Li Miaoyin along.

"You stingy bastard! Humph!"

Xie Lingxin pursed her lips.

"Go ahead."

The disciple of the Medicine King Sect forced a smile and revealed the secret method for controlling the dragon carp.

To be honest, there's nothing difficult or mysterious about it.

It consists of a few special syllables and melodies.

Xie Lingxin memorized it after hearing it only once, then wiped the jade whistle with disdain and tried to blow it.

The red carp, which was roaming in the air, flicked its long tail and slowly swam over.

Her two large eyes were almost as big as Xie Lingxin's head, like two sparkling rubies.

Crystal clear and dreamlike.

Xie Lingxin flipped over and jumped onto the red carp's back.

The fish's back was surprisingly wide, just enough for him to sit on.

The fish scales were cool and refreshing, which felt very comfortable.

"Chirp~"

The red carp even made a sound, which was very similar to the sound of the jade whistle.

Crisp and pleasant.

With Xie Lingxin in tow, they swam slowly towards the parted lake waters.

"come over."

The disciples of the Medicine King Sect, who had been hesitating with flickering eyes, immediately put aside their thoughts and followed upon hearing the call.

Once inside the lake, the water seemed to encounter an invisible barrier; once it reached within a few feet of the red carp, it could no longer get even an inch closer.

Xie Lingxin then discovered that there was an underwater palace at the bottom of the lake.

The crystal-like walls are filled with niches, each containing bottles and jars.

Xie Lingxin sat on the fish's back, picked one up, opened it, and found it empty.

I looked at several in a row, and they were all the same.

He frowned: "What's going on?"

The disciples of the Medicine King Sect quickly replied, "The Medicine King Sect's elixirs are offered to the royal court every year."

"Not long ago, I just delivered this year's elixirs to Chengdu..."

Seeing Xie Lingxin's face darken, he quickly said, "However, the sect leader always keeps a portion for himself and hides it here. Only I know about it in the sect."

He quickly pointed the way, leading them deeper into the underwater palace.

I saw two huge, crimson pillars.

The disciple of the Medicine King Sect said, "The key is in the jade whistle in your hand, young master. Just knock on the pillars, one long, two short, and three urgent, and the keyhole will appear."

Xie Lingxin did as he said and knocked on one of the pillars. Sure enough, a keyhole appeared near the base.

Insert the jade whistle into it.

"Crack!"

Suddenly, a hidden compartment opened in the middle of the pillar, revealing a jade box inside.

Instead of opening it immediately, they used the same method to open another pillar, which also contained only a jade box.

They put everything into the treasure pouch, and then commanded the red carp to swim around the underwater palace.

But apart from some useless bottles and jars, nothing was found.

He couldn't help but frown.

Are the Medicine King Sect really that poor?
"Didn't you say this was An Daoyuan's alchemy room? And that it contained many treasures?"

Xie Lingxin's tone was unfriendly: "Where's the baby?"

The disciple of the Medicine King Sect said with a bitter face, "Young Master, I don't know either. The Sect Master usually guards this place very closely."

"It took me many years and a lot of effort to finally steal... learn this method of controlling the dragon carp, but before I could even find a chance to come in and take a look, it just... just..."

"Humph!"

Xie Lingxin didn't know if what he said was true or false, but she didn't intend to waste too much time here.

Finding the two jade boxes made the trip worthwhile.

What's more, there's also the dragon carp?
Too much value!

Riding a dragon carp, I emerged from the bottom of the lake.

"Wow~"

The lake water closed up automatically.

The dragon carp did not return to the lake, but continued to carry Xie Lingxin through the air.

Xie Lingxin touched the cool scales and turned around to ask, "Hey, can this dragon carp stay out of the water all the time?"
