Since Hua Shu had already sent greetings to various branches of the Nebula Chamber of Commerce in the North, Wang Tiezhu and his party were able to fly across half of the North in just a few days.
At the junction of the Northern Territory and the Middle Earth, there is a huge mountain range that stretches from east to west called Duanjue Mountain.
The existence of the Cutoff Mountain Range isolates the Middle Earth from the North. Because the sky above it is full of strong winds and poisonous miasma, Liuyun Boat will only stay in You'an City in front of the mountain range and will not fly over the mountain range.
Therefore, any monk who wants to go to Middle-earth can only take the Liuyun Boat to You'an City, and then need to hike through the Cutoff Mountains to reach Middle-earth.
Although there are no very powerful monsters in the Cutoff Mountains, the environment inside is complex and often filled with poisonous miasma. Every year, many monks stay there forever.
However, in You'an City, there is a group of people who make a living by leading people through the Cutoff Mountains. They may not be high-level, but they must be very familiar with the environment in the Cutoff Mountains.
If you want to save time and effort and safely pass through the Cutoff Mountains, hiring a tour guide like this is a good choice.
However, Wang Tiezhu and his party did not do this because there was an experienced monk in their team, Di Wu.
Di Wu had experienced crossing the Cutoff Mountains to Nakamoto Genshu for a period of time before, so he was quite experienced in how to pass the Cutoff Mountains.
As soon as they got off the boat, they led Wang Tiezhu and others to a remote street.
"Brother Di, why did you bring us here?"
Looking at the dilapidated street scene around her, Lan Yang looked confused.
Di Wu, who was leading the way, said without looking back: "There is an alchemist here. The detoxifying pills and beast-repelling incense he refines are very effective, but his temper is a bit weird. Fortunately, I have some friendship with him. We will arrive later.
Just leave it to me from now on."
"I see……"
Everyone nodded and continued to follow Di Wu to a dilapidated house.
This house is not big, and it looks dark, as if it has been burned by fire. An ordinary person would never guess that an excellent alchemist lives here.
But in Wang Tiezhu's eyes, this dilapidated house was completely shrouded in a spiritual barrier, which was obviously a powerful magic circle.
"Is it possible that the owner of this house is not only an alchemist, but also a famous formation mage?"
Wang Tiezhu thought for a while, and the red light in his heart faded away.
Di Wu came to the spiritual power barrier, took out a jade talisman from his arms, and pressed it into the air in front of him, and a series of spiritual power formations appeared with the jade talisman as the center.
Then the array text dispersed, and an entrance appeared in the array.
Lan Yang on the side was full of surprise. Before Di Wu untied the magic circle, he was completely unaware that there were other things around the house.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Just when he was surprised, Di Wu had already knocked on the door.
"Senior Lu, it's me, Xiaowu..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door in front of him opened automatically, and then a hoarse voice came from the house.
"Come in!"
"Thank you, senior..."
Di Wu thanked them respectfully first, then turned around and nodded to the three of them, and walked into the room first, while Lan Yang followed closely after hesitating.
Wang Tiezhu pulled Bai Miaoer to the end.
Like the exterior of the house, the inside of the house is dim. With the help of the weak light, you can see the messy items placed in the house, including various medicine boxes, which are also mixed with a strong fragrance of herbs.
At the end of the room, there is another door, which is currently projecting a warm light.
Wang Tiezhu wrinkled his nose slightly, and he already knew in his heart that the alchemist whom Di Wu called "Senior Furnace" was currently refining the elixir.
It's just that there seems to be some problems with the elixir he is refining now. The breath is not pure enough, and some impurities are obviously still in it. If this continues, the best result will be that the refining fails, and the worst result...
boom!
A blast sounded from behind the door, and then bursts of black smoke filled the air - the furnace had exploded.
"Cough cough cough!"
Upon hearing the rapid coughing, Di Wu's expression changed and he quickly rushed into the cloud of black smoke.
"Senior Lu! Are you okay?"
But before he could enter, a figure walked out stroking the door frame.
"Ahem! It's okay, it's okay, it's just a furnace explosion..."
The figure stretched out his hand in the air, and night pearls immediately lit up on the four walls of the house, dispersing the darkness in the room and allowing them to see clearly the appearance of the furnace senior.
I saw the furnace senior wearing a black robe, with his silver hair hanging casually on the back of his head. A terrifying scar started from his forehead, crossed his left eye, and landed on his left ear. Only his right eye could
Normal activities.
However, due to the explosion just now, his clothes are now torn and his face is completely black.
It's just that this senior Lu didn't care about his own image at all. He walked through them as if no one else was around, strode to the table, and poured tea into his mouth in advance.
"Ah! So happy! So happy!"
After finishing the pot of tea, he wiped his mouth and turned to look at everyone.
"Xiaowu, the last time I saw you was probably ten years ago, right? Why are you suddenly free to see me, an old guy?"
Di Wu smiled slightly and stepped forward and said: "Senior Lu, after I left that year, I went to make offerings to the Jin family in Anqing City.
Later, something happened in Anqing City, so I left there and went to practice in the North with my friends. Now I am planning to go to Middle-earth again, and I came here specifically to visit you..."
"What's there to do in that shitty place?"
Senior Lu reached out and took out his ears, with a look of disdain on his face.
"Xuan Daogong has been doing more and more excessive things in recent years because it is the head of the five sects. Just when it is the Tiangong, you have to be careful when you go there."
"Of course, thank you for reminding me, senior!"
Senior Lu nodded slightly before turning his attention to Wang Tiezhu and the others.
"These are..."
Without waiting for Di Wu to introduce him, Wang Tiezhu clasped his fists and said, "I have heard the name of Senior Lu for a long time. I am Wang Qingyang, a casual cultivator. This is my sister Wang Miaoer."
In order to avoid the trouble caused by Bai Miaoer's identity as a demon clan, Wang Tiezhu put a nameless mask on her face. The originally smart and cute little demon fox was disguised as an ordinary little girl.
Di Wu and Lan Yang were not surprised when they heard Wang Tiezhu say that his name was Wang Qingyang, because he had already used this rhetoric all the time in order to conceal his identity as a disciple of the Sword Sect.
After all, after the Xiao Wanshan incident, the names of several disciples of the Jian Sect have spread to various places in the five states, including Wang Tiezhu.
