When Wang Li returned to Lanxin Garden, his mother Wang and Mrs. Wu, accompanied by a group of maids, were watching the night view on a waterside pavilion in the garden. When they saw his figure, Wang jumped up in surprise and grabbed him. He held her in his arms and reluctantly let go after a long time.
Wang Li helped his mother sit down, and after greeting the Wu family, he told the story of his and Qin Hong's brothers going up the mountain. Of course, in order to prevent them from worrying, Wang Li did not say that he and Wu Yu had been targeted by the wealthy family in the clan. , so there is very little he can say. Moreover, he started retreating on the day he went up the mountain, so he actually can't say much.
Senior Brother Zhong did mention what happened after Qin Hong and Wu Yu entered the school. When they came to see him, they also mentioned their experience in Qianming Palace. It is said that before the two of them entered the true method of retreat, the senior brother of Qianming Palace stayed with them all the time. I talked about the problems encountered during practice for several days, and explained clearly every level of the Qi-entraining stage.
When they heard that the elders and senior brothers of the two palaces took good care of the three of them, mother and Mrs. Wu were completely relieved, and then they pulled him and asked him many questions.
The main reason was that Mrs. Wu was asking. She saw that Wang Li had returned home and wanted to know when brother Qin Hong could go down the mountain to go home. When he was in the secular world, brother Qin Hong was not at home for a long time, but he would come back every once in a while. I would write letters every half month to say I was safe, but this time I went up the mountain, no news came home.
Wang Li didn't know about this, and comforted him by saying that they should be going down the mountain soon. He was going down because he needed to go down the mountain to do some errands, and he wanted to go home and take a look.
Wu also knew that monks were different from ordinary people, so she sighed and stopped asking. She asked someone to serve a table of snacks and fruits again, and chatted about what they had seen and heard in Qianyuan City during this period.

At the same time, on the other side of Qianyuan City, in the Lin clan's land, a white tiger with four windy legs carrying a young man stopped in mid-air outside an attic.
The attic was majestic and divided into twenty-four floors. The white tiger turned around the attic, shook his head, and landed on a high platform on the seventh floor with the young man on his back.
As soon as the white tiger landed, a middle-aged man who looked like a butler and several servants came up to him and stood aside.
"The master is back."
The middle-aged man walked under the white tiger and bowed.
The young man nodded, turned over and slid off the white tiger, and asked: "Are my four senior brothers going out today?"
The middle-aged man was slightly startled and whispered: "Master Qi, the young masters went out after the banquet at noon, but they haven't come back yet."
"not good!"
The young man raised his eyebrows, turned over and jumped onto the white tiger again, and said: "I will go out right away, and you will go to the foot of the Qianming Palace to have a look right away! Hurry!"
"yes!"
The middle-aged man responded and stepped aside quickly. The white tiger roared, turned around and jumped out of the high platform. After the young man left, he walked to the edge of the high platform and summoned a crane, mounted it and flew into the night sky.
After half a stick of incense, the white tiger landed in the outer courtyard on the mountainside of Yuandu Palace. However, after only a few breaths of time, the white tiger rose into the air again and headed towards the foot of the mountain.
After another hour, the young man returned to the high platform of the attic again, but the middle-aged man had already returned before him. When he saw the young man falling, he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Sir, I have inquired about Qianming Palace. The steward said that he saw the young men appearing at the pier with a flying boat. But when it was dark at Youshi, a fairy came down from the mountain and said a few words to the young men. Then the young men The young master took the flying boat and left."
The young man's expression changed and he asked anxiously: "Did the steward hear what they said?"
The middle-aged man shook his head.
"problem occurs!"
When the young man saw the middle-aged man's expression, his heart sank to the core.
He just went to the outer courtyard of Yuandu Palace first, but the people above said that the four people didn't go up the mountain at all. Then he went down the mountain and went to the docks on both sides of Daze to inquire, but no one saw those people. In the end, he only heard from a few boatmen. A young man about his age took a bamboo raft across the river and entered Qianyuan City.
Not finding anyone, the young man went to Jiuhua Mountain with his last hope to inquire, but the people there also said they had not gone back.
Because he was dissatisfied with the senior brothers from the outer courtyards of Qianming and Yuandu Palaces, Bai Baiku had waited for five years, but was finally snatched away as an entry-level disciple by three wild boys from the general outer courtyard, so he went to the Wu family to make friends with these four A senior brother, thinking that the Wu Yu who entered Qianming Palace was a branch of the Wu family, planned to use this matter to make a fuss and let them cause some trouble for the three people.
But he didn't expect that these four people would disappear as soon as they went out today. If they fell into the worst ending that he guessed, if he didn't handle it well, he might get angry.
The thoughts in the young man's mind were racing, and his expression suddenly became a little uncertain. After a while, he said in a deep voice: "Arrange people to go to the cities where mortals from all walks of life live to inquire, and we must find those four senior brothers!"
~~~~~~~~~
The next day, at noon, Wang Li came to a handsome mountain peak with an endless stream of people around him.
These people were of all shapes and sizes, including men, women, old and young. They were bustling with people, and the air was also very lively. Many people fell into the mountains in various escaping lights, and many people flew up to the mountain peaks on clouds. Some people or Control exotic beasts, or take a boat and a chariot directly into the mountain gate.
Wang Li came here by boat early in the morning. This is where the main peak of the Treasure Refining Pavilion is located. The boat he took took more than two hours to get here, which made him a little envious of the people flying above him. Go to the master.
Following a group of people on the ropeway, when he was halfway up the mountain, he stepped up and looked at the smooth side of the cliff, with the three characters "岈鲁峰" engraved on it.
Wang Li glanced at it and was about to move forward. At this moment, a man with a dignified appearance approached him and said with a smile on his face: "This junior brother looks unfamiliar. I don't know what kind of talent he comes from, but he wants to go up the mountain." Refining magic weapons?"
Wang Li lowered his head slightly, avoiding the man's line of sight and used his Qi-gazing technique to check, and found that the other man's Qi was so surging that it was impossible to tell what state he was in. He felt a shiver in his heart, knowing that this man's strength far exceeded his own.
When he looked up, he saw the man staring at him with a smile. He cupped his hands and said, "Senior brother, I am a new disciple of Yuandu Palace. I just went up the mountain this time to find a friend."
"He is the junior brother of Yuandu Palace."
When the man heard Wang Li announcing his home, the smile on his face became a little brighter. He quietly stuffed a name card into his arms and said: "Brother, I am also working in the Lianbao Pavilion. If you want to refine magic in the future, Come to me when you need magic weapons, and senior brother will give you a 10% discount. If you introduce friends to come with you, senior brother can also give you another discount."
Wang Li couldn't laugh or cry in his heart. He actually met a salesperson, but he nodded repeatedly with a look of surprise on his face: "Thank you, senior brother!"
"Remember to come to me~"
The man patted Wang Li on the shoulder, said something and walked behind him. Wang Li turned around and saw that this man quickly grabbed another person and started chatting.
He took a look at the famous post, thought for a while, and then followed the crowd up the mountain.
Half an hour later, Wang Li entered the main hall of Lianbao Pavilion and handed over the certificate of entry disciple of Yuandu Palace to an old man in charge. He explained the materials he wanted and received a fist-sized jade box and a letter written on it.
Wooden token with the number seventeen.
Afterwards, a Taoist boy led him along several plank roads and arrived at the foot of an attic. After thanking the Taoist boy for leading the way, Wang Li entered the attic and went all the way up to the fifth floor before finding the door of Room No. 17.
Press the token against a groove on the door, and the door will open automatically immediately.
Wang Li walked in and saw that the room was about eight feet wide. There were four large cauldrons standing in the center of the room. There was a gray futon five steps away from each cauldron. There were also eight lifelike stone toads surrounding them, with their mouths wide open.
Each one aimed at the center below the cauldron.
After closing the door, Wang Li casually walked to the big cauldron and found a futon to sit on. He opened the palm-sized jade box just now. Inside the box was only a fingernail-sized piece of metal particles shining with white light.
"All other materials were discarded in exchange for such a small piece of ten thousand-year-old iron mother. I had to cut a piece off to absorb the golden spirit on it."
Wang Li murmured. Originally, according to the plan, he was to exchange for the Earth Guard Essence at the beginning, but the manager smiled and told him that the Earth Guard Essence that could be exchanged was only this big, so he replaced it with the Ten Thousand Years Iron.
mother.
After all, after cutting and smelting this thousand-year-old iron mother, you can barely make something. However, the essence of earth guarding is usually used to refine magic weapons of the big seal type. If you get so much, you can only use it as scraps for other magic weapons, and you can refine everything.
Not coming out.
Putting the jade box in front of him, he performed a spell, and the Wannian Iron Mother, shining with white light, immediately floated in front of his eyes. He used the Lihuo Zhenjue, opened his mouth, and spit out a thin line of fire that wrapped around it.
But just when the fire line was about to touch the iron mother, wisps of white light from the mountain suddenly flew out, like a swimming dragon, twisting in the wind and smashing the fire line into pieces, and then it shot straight at Wang Li.
Face door.
laugh!
Wang Li turned his head to avoid it, but the collar around his neck was cut open by the white light.
