The first thing the store owner asked was if anyone was following him. It seemed that these two people were really not simple.
"Of course not," the man smiled, "but there were indeed two people following me just now. I don't know what they were doing."
"Could it be a guard?" The boss was surprised.
"It's not like that." The man shook his head, "But after I exposed it, they left."
"That's good." The boss stepped forward, looked outside the door, and then closed the door. The sounds inside gradually became fainter, as if he was getting farther and farther away.
Outside the door, a ripple suddenly appeared in the air, and then quickly disappeared.
In the Juxian Building, Mu Feng and Wei Hu began to refine alchemy after they returned here. Mu Feng's strange beast cauldron had not been used for a long time.
"Brother Mu, I didn't expect you to be able to make elixirs. It's really extraordinary." Wei Hu clicked his tongue in surprise.
Mu Feng did not speak, but kept thinking about the recipe of Sanquan Dan in his mind. After confirming that it was correct, he started to refine the elixir.
The earthly fire burned blazingly in the alchemy furnace, and soon the alchemy furnace became scorching hot. The strange beasts carved on the walls of the alchemy furnace seemed to come alive in the flames, lifelike, and seemed to be about to fly from the alchemy furnace.
Out.
Under Mu Feng's control, various materials slowly flew up, spinning around the alchemy furnace, and then flew into the alchemy furnace one by one.
Mu Feng entered the alchemy state called "Zhiwei" again, blocking everything from the outside world, and everything in the alchemy furnace was magnified in his mind.
Refining impurities, blending essences, and warming the elixirs were all done in one go without any pause. Refining elixirs was like some kind of art, which left Wei Hu stunned.
"It turns out that refining alchemy can be done like this!" He could only sigh silently.
After one batch of elixirs, Mu Feng worked non-stop to refine the next batch. This time he purchased a lot of materials, enough to refine dozens of Sanquan elixirs. After all, these materials consumed all of Wei Hu's savings.
After spending a full day, Mu Feng finally refined all the materials and obtained a total of thirty-seven Sanquan Dan.
Wei Hu, who was beside him, was shocked at first, then numb, and now he is dozing off.
Suddenly, the window next to the room slowly opened, and Feng Mu appeared at the window and said, "That person does have a problem. He entered a store and was afraid that there would be guards following him. There must be some secret."
"As expected." Mu Feng nodded slowly, "What else did you hear?"
Feng Mu shook his head: "No, they seemed to have left later, so I didn’t hear what he said.”
"Okay, just tell the guards about this." Mu Feng said calmly.
Feng Mu wanted to say something, but he hesitated while standing by the window.
Mu Feng couldn't help but smile: "Tiandu City is indeed very prosperous. Just go shopping for me and remember to cover your face."
After saying that, he picked up five Sanquan Dan and threw them directly to Feng Mu.
After Feng Mu took the elixir, he turned around and left from Juxian Tower without saying anything.
Wei Hu, who was on the side, had already woken up after Feng Mu came back. At this time, he looked a little dazed: "Brother Mu, who is that to you?"
"Clone." Mu Feng said without raising his head.
"Clone? You are so nice to a clone? It seems that your clone is different from ordinary clones." Wei Hu frowned deeply.
Mu Feng smiled and said nothing. Of course Feng Mu was very different, and he had endured the backlash of the sealed artifact twice for them. This alone was enough for Mu Feng to respect him.
Now I just want to go out for a walk, it's not a big deal.
He still had thirty-two elixirs left, and took out twelve of them and gave them to Wei Hu, saying, "It is more than enough to compensate you for the Holy Crystal."
Wei Hu took the elixir and nodded repeatedly, unable to suppress the smile on his face.
After all, such an elixir would be worth a lot of money outside, enough to compensate for his Saint Crystals.
"I knew it would be a mistake to follow Brother Mu!" He laughed heartily.
Mu Feng pushed him directly out of the room, then sat on the bed and began to practice. After swallowing a Sanquan Dan, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth seemed to become more active, rushing towards his body crazily.
The Saint Yuan in his body also began to surge and roar, and his cultivation speed directly increased by one level.
This is the function of Sanquan Dan. It can speed up people's cultivation, which is very useful.
In a blink of an eye, another day passed, and the guard selection was finally over. Apart from Mu Feng and Wei Hu, only one person passed the test.
Excluding Mu Feng and Wei Hu, among the remaining nineteen people, only one person passed the guard selection. This passing rate is indeed too low.
But guard selection has always been like this.
Injuring someone first, then taking away all their belongings, and then completing the trial within the specified time while still injured is too much.
Being too harsh can best test a person's perseverance.
Those who can pass are often the only ones with great perseverance.
Nan Li came to the palace and reported the matter to the empress.
"Except for Mu Feng and Wei Hu, only one person passed? It's really too weak." The empress sounded a little dissatisfied.
"Indeed," Nan Li sighed, "I wonder how your Majesty plans to distribute these three people?"
Nowadays, most parts of the Imperial Guard are short of manpower, and new recruits are wanted everywhere, but there are only three people, which is definitely not enough.
"That Lei Wantian is yours to do with, and he can be assigned wherever he wants. I really have a good place for Mu Feng. Let him be the captain of the Tiandu City Imperial Guard."
"And Wei Hu, he seems to have said that he would follow Mu Feng, right? Then let him follow."
Nan Li was stunned: "Your Majesty, isn't this too..." He thought about it for a while before continuing: "The Imperial Guards of Tiandu City are not short of manpower, and they already have a captain."
Most of the guards have to carry out various orders from the empress and travel around. Not only are they tired, but they are also very dangerous.
A small number of imperial guards will stay in Tiandu City, nominally to protect the safety of Tiandu City and the Empress, but in fact it is the most leisurely place.
Tiandu City is where the Empress is, the center of the Xuanji Kingdom. The protective force here is the strongest. The white-armored soldiers alone are enough to intimidate everyone.
Therefore, the guards who stayed in Tiandu City had no work to do at all. They just had to pretend every day. The feasting and feasting in Tiandu City would make people become lazy unconsciously.
Even many people among the guards are saying that the guards who stay in Tiandu City will have to be separated from their ranks sooner or later, because they are too different from their guards outside.
The imperial guards of Tiandu City have become a cancer among the imperial guards. No one likes them, and even they despise themselves, but there is nothing they can do.
Guarding Tiandu City is really a leisurely and demoralizing task.
Now, the empress has not only divided the guards of Tiandu City, but also divided them into two. This is too abnormal.
The empress' voice full of majesty came out: "You don't need to question my decision, and these people are too lazy now, and someone needs to discipline them!"
Nan Li immediately understood what the empress was thinking. She wanted to rectify the imperial guards in Tiandu City, but could Mu Feng and Wei Hu really do it?
"As you command!"
very Quickly, Nan Li arrived at the Juxian Tower. At this time, there were only three people in the entire Juxian Tower who had passed the guard selection.
"Mu Feng, Wei Hu, the transfer orders for you two have arrived!"
Mu Feng and Wei Hu soon appeared on the first floor, and even Lei Wantian, another person who passed the selection, was also here.
Lei Wantian was able to pass, which many people did not expect. You must know that Lei Wantian's talent is only average among these people, not even comparable to Wei Hu.
Even when he was attacked by the guards at the beginning, he cried and screamed and moved his father out.
However, some of the others gave up along the way, some were simply defeated by the gods and demons, and some were so tired that they fainted. Only Lei Wantian reached the finish line with his seriously injured body.
Even the guards who followed Lei Wantian all the way felt that this was a miracle, but the rules were like this. Those who could reach the stronghold passed the selection, so Lei Wantian stayed.
At this time, his injuries were not healed yet, and he looked weak.
"Mu Feng, Wei Hu, you two have been assigned to Tiandu City. Mu Feng, you will take over the position of captain of the Tiandu City Imperial Guard. The previous captain will be your deputy." Nan Li said slowly.
Wei Hu's expression did not exceed Nan Li's expectation, as ugly as if he had eaten a fly, while Mu Feng looked much calmer.
Lei Wantian laughed loudly on the side: "Fat man, you are actually going to the Tiandu City Imperial Guard. That is such a good place, there is no danger at all!"
The words were full of sarcasm.
Wei Hu gave Lei Wantian a cold look and said, "Then you have to be careful. The place you go must be very dangerous. Don't die just after you go!"
"That's better than you!" Lei Wantian laughed nonchalantly.
Mu Feng didn't know much about the guards in Tiandu City, so he just asked, "Can I still live in Juxian Tower in the future?"
Nan Li was a little surprised: "Is this what you are worried about? Yes, there are very few people living here anyway, so the empress probably won't prohibit it if you say so."
As he said that, he took out two waist tags and threw them to Mu Feng. One side of the waist tag said forbidden and the other side had the word "Tiandu" written on it, with their two names on it.
The moment the two held the waist tag, a faint suction force came, and a trace of the Saint Yuan in their bodies was sucked away by the waist tag.
Soon, the aura exuding from the waist tag was the same as the aura emitting from their body. This was also to prevent others from using their waist tag.
"Okay, you go now. The imperial guards of Tiandu City are at Feihua Lane." Nan Li looked at it and couldn't help but sigh.
