Supreme Martial Artist - Chapter 130
Chapter 0130 Pill Master’s Followers!
After understanding, Gu Ying’s home had not been burned down. Fatty was utterly nonsense.
Qin Fei and the Iron Scepter walked out of the courtyard and sighed as they looked at the sky above them. Actually, he was very helpful to Gu Ying. He offered to give her a sum of money to live in a comfortable place and arranged a good job for her. When she went to the Yongsheng Auction House, Gu Ying shook her head and refused.
She said that she wanted to live by her own hands in the future and appreciate his kindness.
Qin Fei was filled with admiration for this stubborn and kind woman and respected her decision.
After returning to the Pill Master Association, Old Man Chen and the others were already waiting for him.
Within the Xuanling Empire, there were thirty-six prefectures in the Nine Provinces and Eighteen Prefectures, and Xuan Prefecture was under the jurisdiction of the
The Southern Mountain Prefecture was more than three thousand miles away from Xuan City.
“Just the few of us?” Qin Fei carried the baggage and looked at Old Man Chen and the others.
Didn’t you say that alchemists all have followers? It was such a long journey, so they didn’t bring any people along with them?
“Of course it’s not just us! The followers are already gathered outside the city waiting for us!” Old Man Chen smiled and looked at Qin Fei, “Oh right, you’ve just become a member of our association. You haven’t recruited anyone to follow you for the time being, right? When this matter is over, I’ll help you send a notice. What does it matter if an alchemist doesn’t have a follower?”
Qin Fei curled his lips. He did not want those followers who came for profit. He knew very well that the so-called followers of alchemists were just a group of greedy fellows who wished to obtain free pills to increase their strength. There was clearly an exchange of interests between the two sides. When faced with a life-or-death challenge, these fellows would not be so obedient.
Old Man Chen didn’t know how powerful this follower beside him was. Just the Iron Scepter alone was enough to sweep through all of their followers.
However, did he not reject Old Man Chen’s suggestion to exchange benefits? When you eat my pills, no matter who you are, you will have to rush forward willingly if you encounter death …
As expected, when they arrived outside the city, they saw their followers. Each of them brought ten people, all of whom were Human Martial Realm experts.
There were a total of fifty-two people in this group. They were all martial cultivators, so they didn’t need to take any means of transportation and directly used their legs to travel.
During the day, when it was dark, they would find a place to stay. When they encountered a market town, they would stay in the town. Without a market town, they would stay in the mountains.
On the second day, they missed the market town in the evening, so they could only find a flat and dry place to spend the night.
The followers were looking for a suitable place to stay in front of them.
In the end, they chose a good place next to the mountains and rivers, and the followers began to set up their tents and make a fire to cook.
Becoming a good follower wasn’t that simple. He needed to take care of the life of the mage, and he had to charge into battle when he needed to … Of course, in situations where his life wasn’t in danger, the followers wouldn’t obediently charge forward to die if their lives were in danger, unless the mage was willing to pay a large price to impress them.
Simply put, the followers beside the pill refiner were a group of powerful special servants. These servants weren’t completely obedient to their master, but when their master was willing to offer enough to move their interests, they would still dare to move forward.
Although the mages knew that none of their followers were loyal, there was nothing they could do about it.
This was because pill refiners were very popular in the eyes of martial artists. Everyone wanted to rob a pill refiner to obtain the pills they had on them.
It was precisely because of this that pill refiners began to recruit followers. With the protection of these followers, there were fewer cases of robbing pill refiners. The relationship between the pill refiners and their followers had also come together because of their interests, and it had continued to this day.
However, pill refiners did not have to worry about their followers robbing them, because before each of their followers followed the pill refiner, they would swear a poisonous oath that they would not cause any harm to the pill refiners they followed.
This was a contract that guaranteed trust and peace between the alchemist and his followers.
Moreover, their followers did not follow a pill refiner for life. After they obtained what they needed from a pill refiner, they would also leave. Under normal circumstances, there would be no objections between the two sides.
Later, according to the actual situation, a time limit of five years was set between the mage and his followers!
Followers will follow the pill refiner for five years from the time the contract is established. Within five years, the pill refiner will provide their followers with corresponding pills to increase their strength. At the end of the five-year contract, the followers can choose to leave or stay with the pill refiner.
Under normal circumstances, the followers of an alchemist would not be as strong as or surpass an alchemist. They were all people with lower cultivation than an alchemist. After all, if their cultivation was higher than an alchemist, an alchemist would not be attractive to them. Higher experts would naturally choose stronger alchemists in exchange for what they needed.
At night, a campfire lit up on an open field by a stream. Everyone began to eat. After dinner, they went into their tents to rest. After traveling for a day, they were really tired.
There are not many tents, As the Guild Leader and the Master of Qin Fei and the others, Old Man Chen naturally had the largest tent. Qin Fei and his four senior brothers were huddled in the same tent. As for his followers, they had four tents. Each tent took turns to rest five people every two hours. The remaining people were scattered and guarded the surroundings, keeping an eye on the surroundings.
As for the Iron Staff Guest, Qin Fei didn’t let him follow the group when he set out. Instead, he let him secretly follow. He was worried about bringing the Iron Staff Guest to Old Man Chen’s side all the time. This old thing was cunning. It was inevitable that he wouldn’t find any clues. At that time, he really didn’t know how to explain it.
In the pill tower, although the Iron Staff Guests lived together, they did not meet each other at all times. However, they were always together along the way. It was hard to guarantee that nothing would happen after a long time.
Qin Fei couldn’t fall asleep. Although he had been traveling all day and his feet were about to break from fatigue, he couldn’t fall asleep.
The tent was in a mess. Four senior brothers snored louder and louder. How could he sleep?
Damn it!
Qin Fei cursed in his heart. He stared at the four of them dejectedly for a while. In the end, he really couldn’t sleep. He just got out of the tent and went outside to get some air.
“Mr. Liu! Can’t you sleep?” A follower asked with a smile when he saw him pee by the river.
Qin Fei trembled, feeling extremely refreshed and comfortable.
Put on your pants, Looking at this follower, He already knew all his followers, Everyone called him Mr. Six, It came in the order of Old Man Chen’s disciples, The person who greeted him, He was Old Man Chen’s chief follower. His name was Su Yong. He was an expert at the second level of the Mortal Martial Stage. He was originally from a well-known clan in Xuan City. After the clan fell, he could only join Old Man Chen as a follower. He also said that he wanted to use his pills to quickly increase his strength and revitalize the clan.
He had followed Old Man Chen for three years. From the ninth level of the Initial Martial Stage to the second level of the Mortal Martial Stage, he could be said to have advanced very quickly. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for a martial artist to reach this level within three years. It would take at least five years. This greatly shortened the time.
This was the advantage of following a pill master, because a pill master had the cultivation resources that a martial artist desperately needed.
“Brother Su, do you think you can sleep peacefully with them?” Qin Fei smiled bitterly and pointed to the tent in the distance. Even the snoring sounds of those fellows could be heard clearly from so far away. It was truly helpless.
“Haha, it’s been a long time. It’s good to get used to it! Mr. Liu, you are already a Mortal Martial Stage First Layer Pill Master at such a young age. There’s no limit to your future prospects!” Su Yong smiled, his tone filled with envy.
Qin Fei was just about to say a few humble words when his expression suddenly changed. He looked at Su Yong and said, “Did you hear that?”
Su Yong’s expression was grim as he nodded his head. A bright light burst out from his eyes, “There’s a carriage coming towards us. It smells like blood!”
Almost at the same time, all of the followers in charge of guarding sensed something strange in the distance. The people in the tent also rushed out and looked into the distance.
Soon, a carriage pulled by four white horses entered everyone’s sight. The driver of the carriage was very skilled. He controlled the carriage very quickly and rushed over. Everyone saw that the man’s clothes were dyed red with blood. A huge wound on his chest was dripping with blood. Even though it was more than two hundred meters away, everyone could clearly see it.
