It has been more than a month since Yu Lie last went to the workshop to join the Qianlin Chamber of Commerce.
During this period of time, while Yu Lie was living in a rented coffin, growing his Qi, he was also rushing to the workshop every day to make elixirs and medicines for the Qianlin Chamber of Commerce.
During this period, in addition to meeting his cousin Yu Fenggao and sister-in-law Luo Sen again, Yu Lie also met a few acquaintances in the diving hotel.
One is the road boy who once belonged to the alchemy room with him and also received him.
After the end of the Da Dian Soldiers, there were few people in the entire alchemy room who could be promoted to the top in the Da Dian Soldiers, including this person on the roadside.
Now that the other party has rushed to Qianzhou Daocheng, it is clearly proved that this person has also broken through and become an eighth-level Taoist disciple, and is no longer a ninth-level Taoist boy.
This greatly deepened Yu Lie's impression of the roadside.
I think at the beginning, in the huge alchemy room, there were quite a few Taoist boys who were more famous than the roadside ones. Later, among the more than a hundred high-ranking Taoist boys, there were also those who had a deeper realm than the roadside ones.
No longer a minority.
But this person on the side of the road, who has always been secretive, has successfully crossed the threshold twice in a row and been steadily promoted.
If it's just once, that's fine.
But twice in a row, the other party, like Yu Lie and others, was a Taoist disciple who had only practiced in the Taoist realm for three years, and now had the qualifications to pass the Taoist Palace.
This proves that although this person is not well-known, he must have some talents or means secretly like Yu Lie and Song Danqing, which should not be underestimated.
So when he saw this person at the diving hotel, Yu Lie warmly entertained him, thus continuing the friendly relationship between the two.
He also invited Song Danqing to join him, and the three of them would get together from time to time.
After more than half a month, the three of them have formed a fixed small circle in the diving hotel. They all know some foundations and potentials of each other, and their relationship is quite harmonious.
Except for Song Danqing and the other two people on the roadside.
In the two or three months since Yu Lie arrived in Daocheng, there were many Taoist boys who came out of the Heihe River Basin, and he basically met them all.
It's just that Yu Lie and the other Heihe Taoist boys are not very familiar with each other, especially since Heihe originally had three Tao towns. The relationship between the three Tao towns was not friendly, and there was still enmity between them.
Now in the huge Taoist city, although the Taoist boys in the Heihe River Valley come from the same place and have some fate, the overall relationship is not very harmonious. They are just passable on the surface, better than the outsiders.
Among the remaining Taoist boys, there was only one person who made Yu Lie pay more attention.
This person is a Taoist woman with a beautiful figure. Unfortunately, she is disabled and is missing an arm.
And the opponent's missing arm was actually blown off by Yu Lie himself!
Because his surname was Miao and Mu, he was originally from Greenwood Town and was somewhat famous.
Fortunately, because Yu Lie had covered up well at the beginning, Miaomu has not yet discovered that the enemy who cut off her arm was actually Yu Lie.
The two sometimes met in the diving hotel, and they would nod to each other and greet each other.
This day.
Yu Lie did not go out to work, and did not come out of the coffin until noon.
When she stepped out of the door of the hotel, the female Taoist Miaomu happened to return to the hotel. She looked tired, but when she saw the rest of the people leaving the hotel, she took the initiative to greet them:
"I've met Fellow Daoist Yu. Is Fellow Daoist Xiu Mu today?"
Yu Lie paused in his steps and nodded calmly: "Exactly. Fellow Taoist Miao came back so early today."
After exchanging pleasantries, Miaomu pondered, and suddenly he bowed his head and said:
"Fellow Taoist Yu Lie, could you please take a moment to speak."
Yu Lie was a little surprised by the behavior of the female Taoist Miaomu, but there was nothing he was afraid of. He immediately motioned for the other party to follow him.
The two of them walked to a corner next to the diving hotel, and there was no one around.
The female Taoist Miaomu said:
"I heard that fellow Taoist Yu Lie is a practitioner of alchemy, and is good at flesh-and-blood elixirs. Miao has some ferocious beast materials here, which may be used by fellow Taoist Taoist to make alchemy. Fellow Taoist Yu, can you see the quality of these materials and whether they can be used?
Can you get on?"
Yu Lie looked at the piece of meat in the opponent's hand, and after thinking for a while, he declined and said:
"To be honest, the Chamber of Commerce has its own materials that can be used to make medicine. It is very sufficient. I can't afford to buy it from outside. Instead, it would be better if I mix it with outside materials when making medicine. If the refining is successful, it would be fine.
If the system fails, Pindao will be fully responsible once discovered, but the loss will be huge."
He refused, Miaomu held the bloody piece of meat in his hand, and could not move forward or retreat for a while, feeling very cramped.
After a few moments of silence, the female Taoist still held the piece of meat in one hand, with embarrassment in her eyes. She looked at Yu Lie and said:
"Fellow Daoist Yu, you and I come from the same place. For the sake of our connection, please accept this... If you don't accept it, the prices of the shops in the city will be too great."
Some kind words came out of the other person's mouth.
Yu Lie had a tangled look on his face, but he was still very calm in his heart. After a little "tangle", he still said the words of rejection:
"Fellow Taoist Miao, please don't embarrass me."
Speaking of which, Yu Lie and this female Taoist have nothing to do with each other.
If there is a relationship, there is only hatred. It was Yu Lie who damaged the opponent's body. Therefore, Yu Lie had no time to hide from the opponent. How could he be willing to help the opponent deal with the unknown monster materials in his hand?
The next moment, Miaomu gritted his teeth and made a proposal that made Yu Lie's heart beat:
"It's better than this. From now on, Miao's side, as long as they obtain usable materials, they can provide them to fellow Taoists for free for use in elixir refining. As long as the fellow Taoists succeed in refining elixirs, they can use the successfully refined elixirs, especially those that help
Just divide some of the elixir for cultivation and give it to Miao."
Yu Lie, who was about to leave, suddenly froze in place, his eyelids twitching: "Huh?"
He paused and said, "What if all the refining fails?"
Miaomu used his only remaining hand to brush the other empty sleeve of his robe and said: "Of course Miaomu is responsible. If Miao really can't bear the loss, Taoist friend will terminate the cooperation at that time.
Let bygones be bygones."
These words made Yu Lie really excited.
He secretly thought in his heart: "No wonder the guy Bago is barking randomly in the piggy bag before he goes out today, insisting on coming out for some air. It turns out something good is happening!"
"This is like letting me meet someone who was taken advantage of!" An idea popped into Yu Lie's mind.
Speaking of alchemy practitioners, if they want to improve their alchemy skills, the best way is not to read more books or to collect various secret recipes for alchemy, but to make more alchemy furnaces!
No matter what kind of elixir is being refined, as long as there are enough raw materials and the people in the alchemy path have enough opportunities for trial and error, logically speaking, there is no elixir that the people in the alchemy path cannot master.
Therefore, the growth of a person in the alchemy path is often accompanied by various opportunities for alchemy that come to the door. It is extremely difficult for a person in the alchemy path to meet his or her alchemy needs solely by relying on his or her daily needs for pills.
Now, although Yu Lie has joined the Qianlin Chamber of Commerce, he has more opportunities to make alchemy than those who have not joined the shop.
However, his status in the Chamber of Commerce is not high, he is only higher than those Taoist boys who burn fires and make medicine, and the materials the Chamber of Commerce is willing to provide him are ordinary.
Basically, in a month, the number of times eighth-grade elixirs are involved is only in single digits.
Yu Lie is now mainly responsible for refining those ninth-grade elixirs for use by mortals, animals, or Taoist boys.
Now that Miaomu himself came to the door, he immediately hit Yu's heart and made him excited!
But Yu Lie also became worried again: "Should I agree? This woman has a grudge against me. If I help her and she grows up in the future, won't it be harming myself?"
Across from Miaomu, she saw that Yu Lie was entangled and pondering. There was no impatience on his face, but there was expectation in his eyes.
The woman thought to herself: "The reputation of these fellow Taoists is really good. I didn't find the wrong person!"
If Yu Lie had just heard the conditions and agreed immediately, Miaomu would have been worried that Yu Lie wanted to steal some of her information.
But now that Yu Lie's face looked thoughtful, it fell into Miaomu's eyes that Yu Lie had seriously considered the pros and cons of this matter and would not leave just thinking about earning a vote.
Seeing that Yu Lie still had not made a decision, Miaomu spoke sincerely again:
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Yu. I will provide you with the materials and fellow Daoist will make the elixir. If there is any disagreement in the process, I will have no objection and only follow Fellow Daoist Yu."
There was a hint of pleading in her voice: "I have no acquaintance in this Taoist city now. If fellow Taoist Yu helps me today, it will be considered that Miaomu owes fellow Taoist a great favor. If there is Miao in the future,
Wherever Mu can help, Miaom will never hesitate!"
Hearing the female Taoist say so categorically, Yu Lie raised his eyebrows and finally nodded.
He also said in a deep voice: "That's all, since fellow Taoist Miao trusts Pindao so much, Pindao has made you a friend today!"
Upon hearing this, Miaomu's face suddenly showed a look of joy.
She stood in front of Yu Lie with some excitement, and reached into her arms with one hand, trying to take out all the monster materials. As a result, it was not very convenient because she only had one arm, leaving a lot of meat and dirt.
All the utensils fell to the ground, and the situation was embarrassing for a while.
Yu Lie hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, fellow Taoist Miao, don't worry, Pindao is off from bathing today. We have plenty of time, just go to the hotel and sort it out slowly."
"Yes." Miaomu's tired face became even more excited, and she nodded quickly.
Immediately, the two of them walked back to the diving hotel together.
At Miaom's request, the two of them did not trade in the lobby, but opened a narrow and expensive hourly room and immersed themselves in it.
A quarter of an hour later, almost at a pinch, the two of them stepped out of the clock room one after another.
After bowing to Miaomu, Yu Lie just walked out of the diving hotel. Miaomu himself looked tired, but still excited, and returned to the depths of the hotel, returning to the rented coffin to rest.
This scene caught the eyes of several Taoists in the hotel, which aroused some intriguing glances.
Fortunately, everyone is a Buddhist monk, and everyone living in the hotel is single. This kind of thing has long been seen as strange and has become normal.
Even Yu Lie and Miaomu actually noticed this something wrong during the transaction, but Miaomu didn't raise any objection, and Yulie was naturally too lazy to care about it. Outside the diving hotel, Yulie stroked his engorged sleeves.
Pao, his eyes were filled with joy, even more joyful than that Miaomu.
He thought to himself:
"I thought that this woman had lost an arm, and the chances of becoming a Taoist disciple were very few. Even if she became a Taoist disciple, she would never be able to get along well in this Taoist city. I didn't expect that, I didn't expect that this woman's appearance
It looks poor, but actually there is a lot of money in your pocket..."
In just a quarter of an hour, the female Taoist Miaomu actually took out materials worth thirty or forty spirit stones in one breath and placed them on the table for Yu Lie to choose.
Yu Lie was also unceremonious, saying that the materials on the table were all suitable for him to use in making alchemy, and put them all into his sleeve pocket one by one.
This move did not cause any change in Miaomu Nu Dao's expression, and she was still very respectful to Yu Lie.
This made Yu Lie deeply suspect that there must be more monster materials in this woman's pocket!
At the same time, this also made Yu Lie doubtful again about his decision to agree to help the other party make elixirs and medicines.
He originally thought that Miaomu had his arm broken by him, suffered heavy injuries, and had a bumpy road. Even his domineering temperament had to be changed because of it, and he had to live in humiliation.
But now it seems that the other party is keeping a low profile and learning to restrain her temper. With this change, this woman's path may be more open than before.
Especially in the transaction just now, Miaomu revealed another reason why she was willing to "finance" Yu Lie.
That is because the other party hopes that when Yu Lie's alchemy skills improve, he can help her refine a pill of "regeneration of severed limbs"! If that fails, he also hopes that Yu Lie can help her regenerate a new arm.
Once Miaomu achieves her goal, there is a high probability that this woman will return to her former self and will no longer be in the rough situation she is in now.
Yu Lie helped him recover, but for him as an "enemy", he really didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
But it was absolutely impossible for Yu Lie to vomit out the good things he had just eaten.
Suddenly, Yu Lie's thoughts changed and he realized again:
"Based on the conditions she proposed, if she doesn't find me, she might find other new alchemy practitioners... Instead of letting her find other people, it's better for me to do it.
In this way, I will directly know her recovery situation and even the progress of her cultivation."
Thinking of this, Yu Lie couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly.
If he had a darker heart, he could have deceived Miaomu even more severely. It would be a trivial matter to delay the other party's practice. It would also be possible to completely destroy the other party's chance of "rebirth after severed limbs"...
