On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, after night falls, more and more pedestrians gather on the street. Various snacks are spread out. Various gorgeous lanterns illuminate the entire Beiluan City. There are sounds of laughter everywhere and thousands of people.
The lights stretch like a long dragon, highlighting the endless prosperity of the commercial capital of Beisei.
Liu Yu, Xiao Jun, and Ye Yun, after strolling around the noisy and crowded Yunhai Street for a while, arrived early at the "Fire Cloud Phoenix" floating in the sky. Just like last year, five giant spiritual ships came together in parallel to form a formation.
The half-moon-shaped arena of the "Mid-Autumn Spirit Taming Competition".
The "Spring Cicada" is as green as a firefly, the "Ice Luan" is as clear as crystal, the "Fire Phoenix" is as red as flames, the "Spirit Crane" is as white as snow, and the "Giant Sword" is as black as iron. Liu Yu couldn't help but think of Sun Kang's emotion,
"The cicadas are silent in spring, the luan and the phoenix sing together. The cranes and giant swords accompany each other. The jade moon and the blood moon are in the sky. The cool night of Mid-Autumn Festival is as poetic as picturesque."
Xiao Jun and Ye Yun rushed to "Bingluan Pankou" in excitement. Liu Yu did not follow and stayed with Shi Changming on "Huoyunfeng". Although he has many spiritual stones, he has no time to pay attention to them recently.
In the "Spirit Taming Competition", I couldn't even name the contestants, so I didn't join in the fun.
An hour later, following the order from the host of the competition, "Taoist Lingbo", all the contestants rushed out, like thousands of meteors streaking across the sky.
The tourists onlookers all around burst into loud shouts, and the people in the city who were admiring the moon also cheered non-stop at the meteor shower that turned into the sky. The waves of sound continued one after another and extended forward.
About a quarter of an hour later, the results of the spirit-taming competition came out. The first place was Mu Xingchen from Lingbing Palace, the second place was Jiang Tianyi, a girl from Wanyao Valley, and the third place was Xia Hou, the deacon of the sect.
He's son Xia Houyang has gained a lot of face for Huang Shengzong.
Subsequently, there was a dragon night parade consisting of hundreds of large and small spirit boats. Liu Yu, Xiao Jun, and Ye Yun did not participate, but rushed to a quiet courtyard. The courtyard was not big and consisted of a main room.
, two wing rooms, a kitchen, a servant's house, a hut, etc.
There is a small courtyard surrounding the courtyard. The most conspicuous thing in the courtyard is a century-old banyan tree. Its dense branches spread out like giant umbrellas, covering most of the courtyard.
There is a round stone table and four round stone benches placed under the tree. The entire courtyard is simple, clean, and very exquisite. It is a secluded courtyard that Liu Yu chose to rent for a few days, located in Huangling.
In a corner at the end of the street.
At this time, a square mahogany table with long legs was placed in the middle of the yard. The table was filled with all kinds of fresh fruits, moon cakes, pastries, nuts and other food. Liu Yu invited Xiao Jun and Ye Yun to go back "home" to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together.
I went to Baixianglou to buy a pot of second-grade spirit wine.
"Uncle Li, let's serve!" Liu Yu said politely to an old man from Qixun who was serving a plate of "red apricot" mountain fruit.
"I got it, Master Immortal!" Old Man Qixun replied respectfully, and then walked quickly to the kitchen.
Soon, an old woman served a steaming "Mountain Rabbit Stew". The old woman and the old man were an old couple with no children. They were servants hired by Liu Yu, so they were only expected to clean the house on weekdays.
In the yard, look at the door.
What's rare is that the old lady is good at cooking, frying, frying and steaming, which is very suitable for Liu Yu's taste. In the name of the Mid-Autumn Festival, she invited Xiao Jun and Ye Yun over and treated it as a housewarming celebration.
, I wanted to invite Shi Changming again, but Shi Changming had to go back to the city to reunite with his second son, so he gave up.
A few days ago, the "wild boar", "golden pheasant" and other game meat sent by Song Hongjiang were turned into home-cooked dishes with full color, fragrance and flavor through Aunt Li's hands.
/p>
Especially the stir-fried "little fragrant deer" meat slices in the middle, which is shiny, fragrant, and tender. Paired with the mellow "Dong Xian Liquor", the three of them ate extremely happily.
As the night gets darker, the cool breeze blows away, revealing two bright moons, shining with brilliant silver light. The big and bright moon is called the "jade moon", and the dim and lustrous moon is called the "blood moon".
Liu Yu, Xiao Jun, and Ye Yun chatted happily, and the laughter continued. The three of them all left their hometowns, and they chatted until late at night. In the end, Xiao Jun and Ye Yun did not go back, and stayed in the guest room nearby. p>
The next day, Liu Yu asked Xiao Jun to give Shi Changming a message. He would take a day off and stay in the small courtyard to refine "talisman blood" and send Xiao Jun away. After Ye Yun left, Liu Yu walked to the wing on the west side.
.
There is nothing in this wing. Not only is there no bed, long table, dressing table, stools, chairs and other utensils, but even the screens and partition boards have been removed. The entire wing is extremely empty.
The floor was paved with thick marble, and wooden windows were opened in the surrounding walls. What was even more exaggerated was that a huge skylight was opened in the roof. A good wing room was just transformed into a "refining room" by Liu Yu.
"Blood Room".
Liu Yu first summoned the "Three Yang Blood Refining Cauldron" from the storage bag and suspended it in the air. Then he activated the "Instrument Shape Big Cauldron" inscription refined on the body of the "Small Cauldron".
The spiritual light flashed, and the body of the vessel expanded rapidly, turning into a furnace-shaped cauldron seven feet high and four feet wide, and slowly landed in the center of the room.
The "Sanyang Blood Refining Cauldron" has three legs on the bottom, two ears on the side, and a round top without a cover. The body of the cauldron is covered with bright red cloud flame patterns, and it looks extremely beautiful.
After the "Three Yang Blood Refining Cauldron" was placed, a bottle of "Beast Blood Bottle" flew out of the storage bag. Liu Yu made seals with both hands and used the Art of Controlling Objects to control the "Beast Blood Bottle" to fly over the cauldron. p>
I saw the "Beast Blood Bottle" becoming dozens of times larger, and a dark red liquid with a strong fishy smell flowed from the bottle into the "Sanyang Blood Refining Cauldron". Liu Yu poured several bottles of "Beast Blood Bottle" into the cauldron.
"Spiritual Beast Essence and Blood".
Then Liu Yu stepped forward, took out twenty crystal clear jade stones, and embedded them in the depressions with protruding ears on both sides of the "Three Yang Blood Refining Cauldron". They were pieces of low-level spiritual stones, and then activated them through spiritual consciousness.
"Three Yang Quenching Formation" inscribed on "Three Yang Blood Refining Cauldron".
I saw the red light of the "Three Yang Blood Refining Cauldron" flourishing, and soon it emitted waves of heat to the surroundings. The "Three Yangs Quenching Formation" of the tripod absorbed the spiritual power embedded in the tripod's ear stones, and turned it into visible light with the naked eye.
The invisible fire can be used to temper and purify the "spiritual beast essence and blood" in the cauldron.
Tempering "Fuxue" is much simpler than "alchemy". It does not require long-term refining like blazing flames. The "Fuxue Cauldron" provides enough dark fire. This is why Liu Yu chose
Refining "talisman blood" in the hospital.
Half an hour later, Liu Yu poured snow-white molten spirit sand into the "spiritual beast essence blood" that was boiling like magma in the cauldron. A burst of "chi, chi!" mist rushed up and instantly filled the "blood refining room" in the main room.
", the smell was fishy and unpleasant, but Liu Yu's face did not change, and he stood motionless next to the cauldron, staring closely at the semi-solidified liquid in the cauldron.
When the "essence and blood" in the cauldron was about to solidify, Liu Yu immediately poured "condensed water" into the cauldron, and another "sniffing" mist rose. In this way, Liu Yu endured the heat wave and the fishy smell.
He has been standing by the "Three Yang Blood Refining Cauldron", adding various spiritual materials from time to time, and pouring in a small amount of "San Yang Water" every few dozen breaths.
In addition, Liu Yu also needs to keep an eye on the spiritual stones embedded in the ears of the cauldron. When the spiritual stones exhaust their spiritual power and turn into powder, Liu Yu must re-embed new spiritual stones in the shortest possible time.
The "spiritual beast essence and blood" may turn into "waste liquid". Although refining "talisman blood" is simple, it is very energy-consuming and requires constant concentration.
This refining lasted a day and a night, and a full cauldron of "Spiritual Beast Essence and Blood" was extracted. In the end, only a small bucket of finished product "talisman blood" was extracted. Liu Yu finished cleaning the "Sanyang Blood Refining Cauldron" and activated the "instrument type·" inside the cauldron.
With the inscription "Little Cauldron", the huge cauldron transformed into a small and exquisite "Little Cauldron", which was put into the storage bag by Liu Yu.
When Liu Yu dragged her tired body out of the house, she was filled with a pungent smell, which was a mixture of sweat, fishy smell, herbal smell, etc. It was very unpleasant.
Fortunately, Aunt Li had already boiled water and prepared a bathtub. The water temperature was just right. Aunt Li also put in some nice-smelling dried flowers and grass leaves. After washing, Liu Yu felt instantly refreshed, and the weird smell on her body was also removed.
