Fairy, return my flying sword to me

Chapter 142: Driving the tiger away from the mountain
The next day, early in the morning.

The flying boat is ready and fully loaded with cargo.

In the forest, he sensed many powerful fluctuations of aura, and they boarded the flying boat together with him.

Two golden elixirs and forty or fifty foundation-building stages.

These people surrounded the flying boat in front, behind, and on both sides. They all looked nervous and looked around vigilantly as if they were afraid of being noticed.

"The Chamber of Commerce is so powerful?" Lin Jian exclaimed to Li Qingyu, whom he hadn't seen for several days.

"Not really... This is already 70% to 80% of the Chamber of Commerce's strength." Li Qingyu looked around and whispered, "I heard that the president seems to be afraid that those people who were arrested yesterday have accomplices. They said they are determined to kill the Chamber of Commerce, so our journey this time may not be safe."

The flying boat is just a means of transportation and does not have strong defensive capabilities.

Moreover, after landing, it is still a certain distance away from the delivery location, and it is very likely to be attacked during the process.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, most of the guards in the Chamber of Commerce were sent along to escort them.

"Oh."

This is the Chamber of Commerce's last chance, so we should be cautious.

Lin Jian nodded and was about to board the flying boat.

The president stood under the boat, looking at Lin Jian who was climbing the stairs to the boat and said his final goodbye, "Brother Bai Dao, I'll wait for you at the Chamber of Commerce!"

Lin Jian waved his hand and followed the guide to the alchemy room prepared on the flying boat.

"The alchemy furnace is powered by the flying boat's spirit core. Refining can only begin after the flying boat is in motion. Master Bai, please wait for a moment. We will set off as soon as possible."

"understood……"

As the flying boat slowly rose into the air amidst a tremor, a faint blue flame began to rise from under the alchemy furnace.

Lin Jian put aside the doubts in his heart that always felt something was wrong and began to concentrate on refining the pill.

There are more than a hundred left, so I don’t think it will take a whole day.

……

The time during refining passed quickly, and Lin Jian, who finally completed the refining, stood up and stretched.

"Finally finished……"

After five or six days of continuous refining, his own cultivation was delayed.

"I'm telling you I can't be a professional alchemist. Otherwise, how can I focus on my cultivation if I start refining the pills?"

He pulled the dozing Haruyuki along and said, "Let's go out and get some fresh air."

The alchemy room, which used the flying boat's power as the source of its flames, was unbearably hot. As soon as I stepped onto the deck, I felt a slight coolness that made me feel refreshed all over.

"Master Bai!"

"Master Bai."

As he walked along, countless guards looked at him sideways with expressions of respect.

Standing in the woods at the bow of the flying boat, looking at the clouds that seemed to be passing by my hands, I always felt that the second half of the refining was going incredibly smoothly.

Even though he tried to control it carefully in the past few days, there were always some wasted pills.

Since yesterday, especially today, I have felt a sense of blessing and inspiration when refining the pills. I have absolute confidence in my subconscious judgment of all the details I encounter during the entire alchemy process.

It was under this state that the remaining one hundred or so pills were completed in much less time than expected.

"I am indeed a genius..." Lin Jian couldn't help but sigh.

Haruyuki watched coldly, having already seen through everything. "Why not look at the demonic nature within the sea of ​​consciousness?"

"Hmm?" Lin Jian reacted and probed his spiritual sense to observe...

"Hey! What the hell! So much is missing?!"

Haruyuki smiled, "No effort is in vain. You saved the fate of everyone in the Chamber of Commerce. Naturally, they will express their sincere gratitude to you."

Verbal gratitude can be false, but this kind of feedback on merit based on the rules of heaven will not deceive.

"But I haven't succeeded yet..." Lin Jian scratched his head, "Does it count if I don't succeed?" "The important thing is to do it, not the final result."

"Then this Heaven's Law is quite easy to deceive..."

"So what are you worried about?" Haruyuki looked into the forest. "Do you think there's another ambush ahead?"

"I don't know..." Lin Jian looked at the scenery rapidly disappearing below the flying boat, squinting his eyes and feeling a little dazed. "I always feel uneasy, as if I've missed something."

What's missing?

Leaked……

motivation!

Lin Jian's body stiffened and he began to tense up.

"Motive... what's the motive?"

"What's the motive?"

"Their motive for continuing to seek revenge!" Lin Jian stared intently. "There's no reason. After their identities are separated from the Four Sects, there's no point in them seeking revenge."

The purpose of the Demon Worship Sect is to destroy the reputation of the four sects and to pull as many monks from small sects and independent cultivators as possible into their camp.

Now that those people are no longer considered disciples of the Four Sects, revenge will not damage the reputation of the Four Sects. Instead, it will cause them to lose their own strength and harm others and themselves.

The Demon Worshiping Sect has no reason to continue targeting the Chamber of Commerce!
But the Chamber of Commerce's reaction obviously came from the feedback of the three people who were caught...

The other party is deliberately guiding and creating this tense atmosphere!
The other party wanted the Chamber of Commerce to focus on this batch of goods, thinking that their goal was to cut off the Chamber of Commerce's last lifeline.

On the other hand, the Chamber of Commerce's full commitment to this trip is the development that the other party hopes to see.

Tune the tiger away from the mountain!

When he realized this word, Lin Jian moved instantly.

Seeing his serious expression, the guards around him who were on guard looked nervous. "Master Bai, have you discovered any enemy situation?"

"There's no enemy!" Lin Jian whispered, "Take me to see the person in charge of this business trip!"

"Yes! Master!" The guard didn't waste any words and led the way directly, "Master, follow me."

……

The head of the traveling merchants was a middle-aged fat man with a fair complexion.

He is born very blessed and smiles before speaking to people.

"Master Bai, please let me know if you have any requests. The president and I specifically told you before we left that all your needs must be met unconditionally!"

"Look back."

"What?" The person in charge was stunned, thinking he had misheard.

"Turn back." Lin Jian frowned slightly. "I suspect something may have happened at your Chamber of Commerce headquarters. They're not after this batch of medicine."

"..." The person in charge was also a smart man. After Lin Jian's hint, he instantly realized what might happen. "Lure the tiger away from the mountain?"

Seventy to eighty percent of the Chamber of Commerce's defense forces were mobilized for this business trip, leaving the defense of the Chamber of Commerce's headquarters itself at a disadvantage.

Although the Chamber of Commerce’s headquarters is protected by a magic circle, the scarcity of manpower is still a fatal flaw.

"What's their purpose?" The head of the group looked puzzled. "The medicine they were supposed to deliver is all on the flying boat, and now the Chamber of Commerce has nothing left... Could it be revenge?"

"Is everything really gone?" Lin Jian stared intently, thinking of the background that everyone had always regarded as a foreshadowing -

Breach of contract order.

Everyone's attention has been focused on this batch of drugs, but they have ignored the initial orders that were unilaterally cancelled.

The previous order cancellations and the current drug theft and interruption are essentially the result of the same plan.

Is the goal to cut off the Chamber of Commerce’s livelihood?
No! The initial order is the goal!

"What were the orders that the Chamber of Commerce had previously cancelled?"
