Chapter 700 The Alchemist
"To break the secret of the path of the warrior! Perhaps it is the meaning of my existence, and maybe after I break this secret, the lost inheritance will reappear!"
"Then, Hu Feng can also possess my inheritance from the previous life!"
"And I'll give you another secret, my main body didn't leave any corpse, not even any trace. I suspect this guy isn't dead at all!"
At first, Zhou Zeyao thought that this Zhou Zeyao guy just had some minor issues with his brain, but when he heard the last sentence, a chill ran down his spine, and he looked at the Zhou Zeyao in front of him in shock.
He didn't look like he had a problem with his brain, but rather a mental breakdown!
"According to the timeline you mentioned before, if your previous life is not dead, then you mean he has lived for two... no, it must be two to three thousand years!"
"No matter how strong a warrior is, his lifespan is limited."
Even Chen Yang himself, without any injuries, felt that he could at most live for two to three hundred years before his body's functions would reach their limit.
This was already much stronger than ordinary peak martial artists.
Peak martial artists more or less had some injuries. Achieving peak mastery was not that simple.
Some people had an opportunity during a life-and-death duel, while others risked everything in a secluded retreat, exhausting their lifespan to break through.
These were all extremely dangerous things, and each injury would affect their lifespan.
The lifespan Zhou Zeyao was talking about now was too shocking.
"Cough, cough, this is just my guess. My previous life's personality was very strange. In today's terms, he was a 'gǒu' (a person who avoids trouble)."
"Otherwise, he wouldn't have carved out his small world within a tree in the deep mountains and old forests."
When Chen Yang heard Zhou Zeyao complaining about his previous life, his mouth twitched.
Chen Yang could see that the current Zhou Zeyao's personality was likely more aligned with that spiritual energy from his previous life.
After all, to disguise himself as Zhou Zeyao so perfectly and live so leisurely was something that not just anyone could do.
Chen Yang pretended not to hear Zhou Zeyao's later complaints and directly asked, "So, do you have any leads now? Has the Zhou family collected enough information on this matter?"
"We really do!" Zhou Zeyao tapped the table lightly.
Chen Yang immediately became extremely attentive.
The Zhou family actually had information on this matter!
"Tell me about it?"
"Not long ago, didn't someone called Saint Moon Divine Venerable appear? This guy not only elevated many ordinary people to so-called Divine Envoys, giving them the strength of a Grandmaster, and even a few of them have reached the peak of Grandmaster, but more importantly, these Divine Envoys used some ancient martial arts, and even more mysterious techniques."
"The Zhou family suspects that this Saint Moon Divine Venerable might know about the ancient martial era or even earlier times."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yang's mind immediately flashed with the bronze tree and his bronze cauldron.
Chen Yang hurriedly asked, "Has the Zhou family investigated Saint Moon Divine Venerable?"
Zhou Zeyao shook his head helplessly, "Saint Moon Divine Venerable is elusive. The Zhou family only knows of this person's existence and can at most track the movements of the Divine Envoys. As for Saint Moon Divine Venerable himself, there has been no contact yet."
"This guy is very mysterious. This person is my first target."
As Zhou Zeyao said this, his eyes scanned Chen Yang up and down. He only told half of the story. Saint Moon Divine Venerable was his target, but not his primary target. The true primary target was Chen Yang in front of him.
A warrior who could absorb chaotic energy, and at the peak of Grandmaster strength. No matter how you looked at it, this guy Chen Yang had many secrets hidden within him!
Zhou Zeyao's gaze flashed, but Chen Yang immediately sensed the unusual look.
Chen Yang knew he couldn't completely trust the person in front of him, so he said, "If you have any information about Saint Moon Divine Venerable, you can give me a copy. I've fought with his Divine Envoys before, and they are indeed troublesome."
Originally, Chen Yang wanted to inquire about some internal matters of the Zhou family, but after thinking about it, he didn't ask in the end. It was not yet time to completely fall out with the Zhou family.
More importantly, this Zhou Zeyao in front of him needed further contact.
However, regarding the matter of the mine, Chen Yang knew it was a good opportunity!
"The mine? Why are you so interested in this mine? Actually, for Zhou Zeyao... no, for the former Zhou Zeyao, the Zhou family only asked him to maintain good relations with the Southwest Prefecture and to protect the mine. The person truly in charge of this mine was not from the Zhou family, but an alchemist."
Speaking of alchemists, Zhou Zeyao couldn't help but sigh, "No matter what era it is, alchemists are always the most sought-after. The alchemist hired by the Zhou family has cost the Zhou family a lot of effort, considering this is the strongest family in the world now."
"This alchemist has indeed produced some real results, not only making several potions for the Zhou family but also seemingly helping them decipher something."
Chen Yang now fully understood that the Zhou family actually kept an alchemist!
"Where is this guy now? Isn't there a chance to capture him?"
If this alchemist were captured, it would not only be a way to account for the Southwest Prefecture but also a starting point to directly attack the Zhou family.
"Ah? You want to capture this alchemist? What a joke, people like that should be revered. Even I, at this moment, cannot offend them casually. That's an alchemist!"
"Do you know how precious alchemists are now? The number of warriors is already decreasing, and alchemists are even rarer than phoenix feathers. You cannot touch this person. I might need him in the future!"
Although Zhou Zeyao had regained some memories from his previous life, even in his previous life, he didn't know much about alchemy.
To be precise, alchemists were exceptionally rare even back then.
Zhou Zeyao knew that Chen Yang had helped him, but if he dared to touch the alchemist, he wouldn't be able to find another one.
At this moment, Zhou Zeyao had already regarded the Zhou family's alchemist as his personal property.
As Chen Yang said, Zhou Zeyao had never truly considered himself part of the Zhou family. The Zhou family was merely a shield to hide his identity!
Chen Yang gritted his teeth and said, "I need this person for something important!"
To bring down the Zhou family, he had to capture this person.
