As the days passed, Zhang Ying's reputation gradually spread to Gods. Now even the neighbors living near Zhang Ying knew that he was an alchemy master and a Taoist companion who kept two tigers.

But Master Zhang Ying doesn't like to socialize with them. He goes out on time every day and then doesn't leave home. However, his Taoist partner, monk Mu, is extremely active. He either goes shopping or has a tea party every day, which is enviable.

Mu Qingli still maintains the simple monk's character from a small place every day, constantly contacting the circle of ladies in Shendu. He even surpassed Sister Min's circle and began to turn to a wider circle.

When those ladies know that she is Master Zhang Ying and Master Zhang’s Taoist couple, they usually smile kindly and then accept her.

After all, such a circle of ladies is also an extension of money and power. Mu Qingli seems to have also touched the rules of this circle and is more satisfactory to deal with it. Her mind is very simple, but it does not mean that she is silly and sweet.

On that day, when Zhang Ying was in the alchemy room, Wu Tianbao suddenly appeared in front of him. The foundation-building cultivator from the Shangguan suddenly appeared, which made the alchemist in the alchemy room stunned. However, when they saw that he was coming to find Zhang Ying, they could understand again.

"Is this an invitation to monk Zhang Ying to visit the alchemy?"

"Very likely!"

"Cultivator Zhang Ying is making a fuss!"

"Yes, it's not easy to go to Shangxiu."

Zhang Ying was unaware of Wu Tianbao's arrival today. When he and Zu Dong came to him, Zu Dong smiled and said to Zhang Ying: "Brother Zhang, there is a good news to tell you."

"You were invited to the alchemy room in Shangguan to refine alchemy. I wonder if you would like it?" Zu Dong said with a smile at him. There was a little envy in his tone.

"What is Shangguan Alchemy Room?" Zhang Ying asked without understanding.

"This alchemy room in Shangguan is located in Shangguan. But it is not open at any time. It can only allow alchemists with real talents and knowledge to enter." Wu Tianbao, who was on the side, explained.

"Your skills are recognized by us, so we invite you to the alchemy room of Shangguan to refine elixirs, and we specialize in refining elixirs for our disciples and elders of Shangguan. And your identity can also become a disciple of Shangguan through special channels. What do you think?"

Zhang Ying was stunned, "Shangguan disciple? Isn't this strict requirement?" Zhang Ying asked.

"Of course, the Supreme Being can only be the disciples of the Supreme Being, so in order for you to enter and exit, we must recruit you as the disciples of the Supreme Being. All your treatment is the same as the disciples of the Supreme Being. What do you think?"

Zhang Ying was delighted, which was of course excellent. Isn’t his purpose here just to get into Longyouguan?

So he nodded and said, "Since it was a kind invitation from Shangguan, I will naturally not refuse!"

Wu Tianbao smiled and said, "Since this is the case, we should not be able to go to the upper house."

Zhang Ying nodded and said, "Of course."

The others also rushed up in a swarm and began to say some congratulations, which was quite meaningless to not forget each other if they were rich and noble.

Zhang Ying bowed to them and then followed Wu Tianbao.

The two of them walked up the mountain. When they reached the top of the mountain, the real gate of Long Youguan was revealed in front of Zhang Ying.

This is a gate that depicts a dragon traveling all over the world. A dragon that sees its head but does not see its tail is floating in the waves. The dragon is portrayed in an extremely realistic way. When you look up close, you will feel a sense of oppression.

Wu Tianbao smiled and said, "This is Longyou Sihai Gate, and it is also the Dragon Gate. The disciple of Xiaguan Yuelong Gate refers to this dragon gate. This door is also a magic weapon, and the first line of defense of the guardian Longyouguan."

After Wu Tianbao said that, he threw out a token at the gantry and said, "This is the first time I have brought you here today, so I have to use the token to activate the gate. When you have the token in the future, you don't have to worry about this, because the gate will remember you."

After saying that, the dragon on the door swam and opened the door. Zhang Ying bowed to the dragon to show his gratitude.

Wu Tianbao looked at him in surprise and said, "This dragon is just a statue, so where can I use the tribute to you?"

Zhang Ying smiled and said, "It's not a big deal that people are good at it. They always have to say hello to the door god."

"Door God? This title is interesting." He smiled and then took Zhang Ying into the door.

After entering the gate, a magnificent water vapor came over. Wu Tianbao said: "The dragon-absorbing water array was set up in this Shangguan, which can continuously absorb the water vapor of the East China Sea, and greatly improve the efficiency of practice here."

Zhang Ying nodded. This formation alone can ensure that the Taoist children here practice much simpler, and the benefits of the Shangguan are indeed extraordinary.

Along the way, I saw white jade paving the ground, green jade as the wall, gold as the roof, and silver as the columns. Crystals were decorated on the window, and strange flowers were dotted in the garden. The ten-meter-high dragon blood coral was planted outside, using a miniature formation to make it survive.

From time to time, you can see shrimp demon crab demon turtle demon walking around, and these little demons are responsible for the hygiene of the debris.

When you walked past a small courtyard, you could see a few boys playing in the small courtyard. When Wu Tianbao walked by, they became quiet. But when Wu Tianbao walked by, the courtyard became noisy again.

These children are Taoist children who have been raised in Longyou Temple since childhood. They are just too young, and they are just a playful age.

After walking not far away, I passed by a hall and saw dozens of young girls meditating and practicing. A middle-aged monk sat cross-legged on his head to supervise them.

When he saw Wu Tianbao coming, he bowed to him. Wu Tianbao just nodded to him and left.

Finally, Wu Tianbao took Zhang Ying to a small courtyard and said, "This is the alchemy room of Longyouguan Shangguan. There is a divine dragon cauldron, but I don't think you need this cauldron as an alchemy prop."

Zhang Ying smiled. This tripod was an alchemy furnace from ancient times. The elixirs were boiled and fried in ancient times. After continuous development, the current alchemy furnace was found.

After so many years of development, modern alchemy furnaces have long replaced the ancient cauldron. The current alchemy furnaces are more efficient and have better results in refining elixirs. This is not the best thing about ancient things. Cultivation is developing, and alchemy is also developing.

However, this kind of cauldron still exists in the alchemy room in Shangguan, which also indirectly shows that Longyouguan has a long history.

Zhang Ying followed Wu Tianbao into the alchemy room, to be precise, it should be the alchemy courtyard. Wu Tianbao looked around and said, "No one has entered this courtyard for some years. Nowadays, disciples don't like to study alchemy."

He turned to Zhang Ying and said, "I have told the little demon to clean the yard. If there is anything missing, you can just come to me."

Zhang Ying nodded, and he even saw a well in the yard. This well was also something that ancient alchemists wanted to use. They had to add water to the cauldron to prevent the elixir from failing because it was too dry during the stir-frying or boiling of the elixir.

Zhang Ying looked at the yard and said, "This place is pretty good, I like it very much."

Wu Tianbao nodded and said, "You will be here to refine elixirs in the future. There is also a room for you to rest. Of course, you can't take outsiders here if you want to go back."

He knew that Zhang Ying had a family, so he gave a special order.

Zhang Ying nodded. But he heard Wu Tianbao continue, "There will be a few more alchemy boys here tomorrow. You can accept two or three depending on the situation. These boys will help you do some miscellaneous work, so you can also give them some appropriate advice."

"You can browse the library in Shangguan at any time, and we will not have any additional requirements for you. If you have enough exercises, you can still exchange your skills. We do not set any restrictions on this aspect."

"Finally, this is the pill you need to refine during this period. You can get familiar with it first. I will send the ingredients tomorrow."

Finally, he patted Zhang Ying on the shoulder and said, "I am very optimistic about you. I strongly support you when you come here. Don't let me down."

Zhang Ying nodded and said to him: "I will definitely not disappoint you."

At this moment, a Taoist boy shouted outside the door: "Elder Wu, I am here to give Senior Brother Zhang Ying the identity token."

Wu Tianbao replied: "Come in."

A young Taoist boy immediately came in outside the door. The Taoist boy was holding a tray in his hand and a token was lying in the tray.

Wu Tianbao said: "This is your identity token, your test results and your behavior will be recorded here."

Zhang Ying took the token and the boy bowed his head and said withdrew.

Wu Tianbao said: "Although you are a monk in the Foundation Establishment Stage, you are still a disciple in Longyouguan. If you want to be promoted to an elder, you must have enough years and recognized contributions. I hope you can understand this."

Zhang Ying nodded and said, "I know this."

Wu Tianbao nodded with satisfaction. Zhang Ying was indeed a person he liked. He was not arrogant because of favor or arrogant. He was an excellent person to get along with.

He stood up and said, "Since that's the case, I won't disturb you from getting familiar with Danyuan, I'll go back first."

Zhang Ying nodded and sent Wu Tianbao to the gate of the yard, then watched him leave.

After Wu Tianbao left, Zhang Ying started to circulate his territory. In Longyou Temple, where every inch of land was valuable, this elixir courtyard was also a very large place. In the center was a hall for alchemy, with a huge tripod three feet high inside. This is the cauldron from ancient times. When the little demons will put away the cauldron tomorrow, it will take up too much space.

On both sides of the main hall in the middle are partial halls. According to ancient customs, the partial halls on both sides are places for alchemists to rest. On one side are alchemists and on the other side are alchemists. The alchemists live much better, and Taoist children can only live in the Datongpu.

There is also a well in front of the hall, which is provided to the alchemist for water. The water inlet is also very particular. It must be a constant temperature in all seasons, without freezing in winter or warming hands in summer, and keeping it at the same temperature all year round. Only in this way can the alchemist control the temperature.

The same is true for the well in Long Youguan. The well water is clear and cold, and it is probably maintained at about 5 degrees. Now this well is not used, but Zhang Ying can use well water to make tea.

There is also a small yard behind the hall, which is used to dry medicinal materials. But it is useless now. The yard is covered with a kind of green grass like jade, as if it was a carpet, and it was very soft when you walked up.

After walking around outside, Zhang Ying came to his lounge. The floor of the lounge was also paved with white jade, and the pillars and roof were also made of silver and gold. To be honest, this architectural style is very rich and full of the temperament of a nouveau riche. I don’t know why as a 1000-year-old sect, Longyouguan has such an aesthetic view.

He walked into his hut and suddenly heard a slight breath.

???Is there anyone here?

Zhang Ying looked around and suddenly saw a girl sleeping on her bed on her bed. She was the funny sleeping position, with her little butt arched high, her face against the bed, and her legs kneeling.

In his previous life, Zhang Ying often saw cute babies sleeping like this when watching short videos, but this was the first time he actually saw it. Who told him to be single in his previous life?

The little girl was wearing a bun and wearing a red lady's Taoist robe. Fortunately, she took off her shoes and went to bed with pink socks. Now it seems that this child is still very cute.

"It's not good for the cervical spine like this!" Zhang Ying said to herself, then went over and picked her up gently, and adjusted her position to let her sleep.

The little girl twisted her body, curled up again, and fell asleep in a ball. Zhang Ying couldn't help but feel funny, but it was still normal, so Zhang Ying did not correct the little girl's sleeping position again.

This should be a Taoist boy. He was about five years old and probably ran in to sleep secretly. At this time, the Taoist boy would not ask for practice, but reading and writing every day is essential.

At this time, the child is active and is very tired when he is trapped there for several hours every day to read and write.

Perhaps because the alchemy institute has not been open for a long time, this little clever ghost has found such a good lazy place.

At this moment, the little girl suddenly woke up. She rubbed her eyes and said in a vague way: "Who are you? Why are you by my bed?"

She half-sitted, her little eyes were a little confused, but she was trying hard to wake up. Zhang Ying smiled and said, "Why is this your bed? This is my bed. You slept on my bed."

The little girl said 'ah', but still couldn't figure it out. At this moment, a female voice came from outside: "Little Lanlan, where are you? Don't play hide-and-seek with your sister!"

The voice was a little impatient and worried, and even Zhang Ying could hear a little crying. The little Taoist boy disappeared, and the older Taoist boys wanted to eat. The big ones were the rules of the Taoist boys.

The little Taoist boy woke up suddenly, and she said nervously: "Sister Mingming is here! I want to get up."

After saying that, she got up from the bed and began to slide out of the bed to find shoes to wear. Judging from her appearance, it should not be the first time she has done such a thing.

Seeing her busy look, Zhang Ying couldn't help but laugh, but at this time the little girl said to him: "Why are you laughing? Didn't you see my hair messy? Bring me a braid!"

The little girl was half acting cute and half angry, and Zhang Ying was immediately cute.

So he reached out and grabbed the little girl's bun that was scattered because of sleeping and said, "Do you still have to tie it into a bun?" Now that he remembered, the little girl probably sleeps face to the ground and is probably not destroying her hairstyle. He corrected her sleeping position, which made her hairstyle messy.

The little girl said anxiously: "Yes, hurry up! Sister Mingming is waiting anxiously!"

There was no choice but to put her hair down and start combing her a bun. Fortunately, she had the experience of combing Mu Qingli's hair, so this bun would not hurt him.

After a few steps, Zhang Ying combed her bun, and the little girl had no time to check, so she ran out of the yard quickly.
