Two days later, the three major families, including the Wang family, reached an agreement to jointly expel the Crystal Palace monks from Sanjia Island. At the same time, Master Bi and other three real people declared on behalf of the Northern Alliance that the Crystal Palace was not welcome in the Northern Alliance's sphere of influence and demanded that the Crystal Palace monks return to their homes immediately.
sect.
Although the Crystal Palace team of thirty-six people was originally composed of monks in the late stage of Hemolysis, although their strength was not weak and there was no definite evidence to prove that the Crystal Palace monks were related to the trade fair, they did not dare to violate the agreement of the Sanjia Island digital alchemy masters.
Although these monks have repeatedly emphasized that the trade fair has nothing to do with the Crystal Palace, and have brought out the tough sign of the Crystal Palace, the monks from Sanjia Island have now apparently determined that the monks from Crystal Palace are plotting evil on Sanjia Island. The monks from Crystal Palace have no choice but to withdraw from Sanjia Island and return to their own sect.
.
After Crystal Palace retreated, Wang Yishan, the eldest son of the Wang family, also left with him. It is said that he was recommended to become a direct disciple of a real person in Crystal Palace.
The situation in Sanjia Island changed. On the surface, the Wang family was suppressed, and the Northern Alliance declared its suzerainty. However, the Crystal Palace finally placed a chess piece within the Northern Alliance through the Wang family, extending its own power into the Northern Alliance in a different way.
sphere of influence.
At the same time, although the strength of the Wang family is slightly inferior to that of the Zhang family, it is not easy for the Zhang family to occupy the absolute position of Sanjia Island with the support of the Northern League. Therefore, the Li family has become the target of the Zhang family. At the same time, the Northern League also has a strong influence on Li.
Although the Li family remained neutral in Sanjiacheng on the surface, they began to part ways with the Wang family, and secretly began to flirt with the Zhang family. The previously embarrassing position in Sanjiacheng was relieved a lot.
The sudden changes in Sanjia City did not affect Lu Ping's preparations to refine the Seven-Step Pattern Pill.
Just when Lu Ping was preparing to retreat into alchemy, he received another invitation from Li Maolin.
When Lu Ping came to the Li family reception room again, in addition to Li Maolin and his daughter, there was also a female nun who was playing with a jade pendant in her hand and looking at Lu Ping who walked in with a trace of scrutiny.
Li Maolin pointed at the unfamiliar female cultivator and introduced with a smile: "Brother Lu Jiu, this is the daughter of one of my old friends, called Chu Ting. I haven't seen him for decades. I don't think I had a fate with my niece in my early years."
Thanks to the inheritance of an alchemy master, I can now actually refine elixirs that are in the half-step elixir-forging stage. My old friend has a daughter, so I am very relieved!"
Lu Ping was startled for a moment, then bowed slightly and said, "I'm here, Lu Jiu, I've met Miss Chu!"
Out of courtesy, Chu Ting stood up from her seat to greet Lu Ping. After the two sat down, Li Maolin was about to say something, but Chu Ting asked first: "I don't think Brother Lu can refine it just because he has just reached the late stage of hemolysis."
Forging the elixir in half a step is really admirable."
Lu Ping could tell that although Miss Chu was polite, her tone was inherently arrogant. Thinking that she was a monk of noble birth, he calmly replied: "I'm just lucky, not worth mentioning!"
Chu Ting obviously didn't care about Lu Ping's perfunctory, but continued to ask: "May I ask what kind of half-step forging elixir has Brother Lu ever refined?"
This was a bit abrupt. Lu Ping glanced at her and did not answer.
Li Maolin said quickly: "The difficulty of refining the Seven-Step Pattern Pill is no longer any lower than that of the ordinary forging pills, and the spiritual grass required to refine the Seven-Step Pattern Pill is also extremely difficult to find. My Li family has collected it for several years, but I can't find it."
I barely managed to make up four furnaces. It is related to whether my daughter can successfully advance to the elixir forging stage, so I have to be cautious. Brother Lu refined two furnaces of these four furnaces of elixirs, and Chu Ting's niece refined the other two furnaces. Each of them only had
All you need to do is refine a seven-step pattern pill, what do you two think?"
Lu Ping naturally knew that this was due to the Li family's distrust of him. After all, the Li family invited him here mostly based on their own guesses. Compared with this, the daughter of Li Maolin's old friend was obviously more trustworthy.
As an alchemist, Lu Ping naturally has his own arrogance. He stood up quietly and said: "Since the Li family leader can't trust him and has invited a high-skilled alchemist, I will withdraw from the matter of refining the elixir. It's just that these seven
The recipe for Buwen Dan has been recorded in my mind, and I apologize that I cannot return it."
Lu Ping's words were quite serious, and Li Maolin was immediately panicked. However, he was a real person after all, and he immediately weighed the pros and cons. Once what happened today was spread, I am afraid that no alchemist would visit the Li family again in the future.
Alchemists are all extremely arrogant, and at the same time extremely conservative and paranoid. If Lu Ping were directly driven away by Chu Ting today, in the eyes of the alchemists, Lu Ping would be just because his skills were inferior to others and he deserved to be embarrassed. But if it was because of Li
If the family hired a master alchemist but disliked Lu Ping's alchemy skills, not only would the Li family be hostile to the alchemist, but Chu Ting would also be isolated by the alchemist.
Chu Ting was obviously not familiar with these unspoken rules among alchemists. Although Li Maolin was not an alchemist, his hundreds of years of experience had obviously heard about them. She hurriedly stood up, stopped Lu Ping, and said: "Brother Lu
Calm down, it's not that I don't trust my brother, it's actually very important whether my daughter can advance to the alchemy stage. Brother Lu wants to know something about the situation on Sanjia Island these days. The Li family is weak. If they can't produce another real person, they probably won't be able to.
We have a foothold on Sanjia Island."
Seeing Li Maolin like this, Lu Ping knew that a real person could do such a good job, which was a sign of respect for him. Moreover, he also took the recipe of the seven-step pattern elixir, so it was a bit unreasonable to leave just like that, so he walked along the steps.
He came down and said: "Since the head of the Li family said so, this junior is not a ignorant person, so he should do his best."
Li Maolin was overjoyed and quickly ordered his servants to lead Lu Ping to the alchemy room, and at the same time sent two furnaces of spiritual grass to refine the seven-step elixir.
After Lu Ping left, Li Xiuzhu asked with some confusion: "Father, since Senior Sister Chu has arrived, I am just guessing about Lu Jiu's alchemy skills and have not seen it in person. He can just leave if he wants. Why should father?"
If we stop him, if this person is just a deceitful person, wouldn't it be a pity to waste two furnaces of spiritual herbs?"
Li Maolin shook his head and explained some of the rules he knew about alchemists one by one. Although he was explaining it to Li Xiuzhu, he was actually explaining it to Chu Ting.
After Chu Ting heard this, she put the jade pendant in her hand on her waist and murmured: "No wonder the teacher repeatedly asked her niece to meet an alchemist before she left. No matter how good or bad the alchemy is, she must make friends with him. My niece is not
I thought it was a surprise, but it turns out the secret is here."
Li Maolin shook his head and said: "This person may not be incompetent in alchemy. Since this person came to Sanjia Island, the casual cultivators in the market often asked him for some spiritual herbs, and he answered them one by one. I have never met him before.
The unknown spiritual grass shows that at least this person’s alchemy foundation is quite solid.”
Chu Ting thought for a while and said: "These three islands are just a small area. I'm afraid it is difficult for rare spiritual grasses to appear. It is not that difficult to recognize them all."
Although Chu Ting said this, her face was still somewhat less arrogant and more serious.
Li Maolin ignored Chu Ting's words and continued: "And this person is very mysterious. I can't see through it. This person should possess the hidden secret skills of the upper level and be able to completely change his own aura, etc., and this person
A person's cultivation level may not reach the seventh level of blood dissolution, and Zhu'er, I'm afraid you may not be his opponent."
When Li Xiuzhu heard his father's words, he said with some disbelief: "How is that possible? Doesn't that mean that this person will be a monk in the alchemy stage?"
Li Maolin said solemnly when he heard this: "Nonsense! Does Zhu'er think that he has no rivals among the monks in the hemolytic stage? I'm afraid you are not even a match for your senior sister Chu, right?"
Li Xiuzhu knew that he had said something wrong, but he was still a little unconvinced, but he heard Chu Ting say thoughtfully: "Indeed, Junior Sister Li, do you still remember the No. 57 monk at the trade fair? This person is extremely powerful.
, I am afraid that even I am not his opponent. Originally, senior sister, I thought that the person must be the real person who has sealed his own cultivation. Now that I think about it, I feel that that person is somewhat similar to this Lu Jiu. No wonder after seeing this person, I felt a little...
It feels like déjà vu.”
Li Maolin was shocked when he heard this, and asked in unison: "Is this true?"
Chu Ting shook her head and said: "I'm not sure, but it feels a bit similar. That person was extremely cunning that day and never left any flaws about himself. He could even break the brand of spiritual thoughts, and that person should be good at a certain kind of
The hidden technique of lowering one's own cultivation level was also the basis for my suspicion that he was the real person who forged the pill."
Li Maolin said: "It's a pity that I couldn't meet Master Nephew Chu at that time, otherwise he wouldn't have let that person take advantage of the chaos to sneak into the surviving monks. Can Master Nephew be sure that your identity has not been discovered by that person?"
Chu Ting thought about it for a moment and said, "Probably not. The moment the cloak broke, I had covered my appearance and aura with the veil. I don't think that person would notice."
The alchemy room of the Li family.
Lu Ping had already made up his mind. Regardless of whether the Seven-Step Pattern Pill was successfully refined or not, he would leave the Li family as soon as possible. Lu Ping did not expect that the participants in the attack on the underground trade fair were actually the Li family, and the one just now
Chu Ting is the monk No. 72 who fought against Lu Ping.
That day, Lu Ping and Monk No. 72 fought twice. Although Lu Ping used the Qinghan Sword to cut his cloak, the opponent's reaction was also very quick. In a moment, he covered his face with a layer of gauze, leaving Lu Ping alone.
I learned that this person was a woman.
However, when Lu Ping saw Chu Ting, he saw that the jade pendant she was playing with was exactly the same as the jade pendant worn by monk No. 72 that day, and Lu Ping also asked about a quiet and distant fragrance.
This aroma is very familiar to Lu Ping. It is a rather elegant fragrance that monks can only get after taking Baihua Dan. Although the fragrance of Baihua Dan can be changed according to the different preferences of monks, as an alchemist, the fragrance
Whether it comes from Hundred Flowers Pill or not, you can naturally tell it by smelling it, not to mention that Chu Ting has not changed the scent, it is exactly the same as the scent exuded by monk No. 72 that day.
The cloud-covering gauze covers the appearance and the aura, but it cannot cover the monk's body fragrance. This is probably the way to recognize a woman by smelling her fragrance!
