Xie Zhouyuan sat under the grapevine trellis, the broken sunlight sprinkled on the cyan robe, the rocking chair swayed slightly, making a creaking sound, and on the small rattan table next to him, there was a pot of Tanshan old wine, a small dish of braised tofu, and a plate of green beans.

Taking a sip of wine, throwing a green bean and chewing it slowly in his mouth, Xie Zhouyuan squinted his eyes pleasantly, and only felt that there was nothing more than this to enjoy life.

In the small courtyard, several servants were busy cleaning, occasionally looking at the short old man with a big red wine lees under the grape trellis and his small wine dishes, and there was a hint of strangeness in their eyes.

In the Feng family, even if it is a servant, it is far better to eat and drink normally.

I really don't understand why this old man is so happy.

However, no one dared to say these words in the stomach, for fear of disturbing the old guy, everyone's steps were very light, and the rag and broom in their hands were far away from the grape trellis in the small courtyard, for fear of raising dust and disturbing the old man's "Yaxing".

You must know that Lao Xie is a guest of the Feng family, an out-and-out soul refiner.

It's just that this guest has a strange temperament.

Usually in the guest secretary is not very good with people, the ranking is not high, since coming to the Feng family, there is no special merit, but all day long drinking and reading, leisurely.

But Mrs. takes him very seriously.

And this time, the little young master was assigned to Bailin City, and Lao Xie also became a member of the team personally selected by his wife.

Everyone thinks that the old man took the opportunity to come here for a vacation.

It's just that even Ge Bo is very respectful to Lao Xie, and the people below naturally don't dare to make irresponsible remarks.

At this moment, suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps. Everyone turned their heads to look, and a moment later, Xia Bei's figure had already appeared at the door.

"Second Young Master. ”

The servants saluted one after another. However, Xie Zhouyuan only raised his eyelids to take a look, and then closed them as if he was overwhelmed, and he didn't even lift his butt from beginning to end.

"Old Xie. Xia Bei walked up to Xie Zhouyuan and patted him.

"What's the matter?" asked Lao Xie slowly.

"I need something," Xia Bei sat down on the chair next to him and reached out to hand over a slip.

Lao Xie frowned.

He has a transcendent status and does not care about all chores.

In terms of property management, the precious things are in the hands of Geber, and the usual items are also managed by other stewards, and the warehouse is in the backyard of the ancient castle, one or two hundred meters away from this remote courtyard. Why did you take the wrong medicine today and come to yourself to ask for something?

Taking the list and looking at it, Lao Xie suddenly sobered up, suddenly sat up, and looked at Xia Bei with a strange expression, as if he didn't know him.

"You want to refine the soul ......," Lao Xie knew why Fengchen came to find him.

These things on the list are all materials for soul refiners!

Xia Bei smiled and said, "I want to try." ”

"Try?" Lao Xie waved his hand and knocked on Xia Bei's head, and said angrily: "What are you doing to refine your soul, just try it?"

Xia Bei covered his head, but he was not angry: "What is soul refining, I don't know." All I know is that my mother told me that I was only seven years old, and a liar came to my house and wanted to take me as an apprentice. As a result, my mother said that the children of the Feng family can only practice martial arts, not refine their souls.

In fact, in private, my mother told me that soul refining is not impossible. First, I didn't have any talent for soul refining at the time, and I didn't have any interest in soul refining, and my mother didn't understand why this person came to me. Second, this person's ability is still a little worse, so I have to worship a powerful teacher if I want to apprentice. I didn't expect this person to stay in vain......"

Before Xia Bei finished speaking, Lao Xie's face turned blue, and he waved his hand again and again: "Gotta get it...... Shut up!"

With that, he angrily got up and entered the room. Immediately, there was a sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets, slamming doors and slamming on the table.

The servants looked at each other in silence. This was the first time they had seen the good-natured Old Man Xie being angry like this.

A moment later, Xie Zhouyuan walked out, smashed a bag in his hand on Xia Bei with a blushing face, and said angrily: "Get out!"

"Ready?" Xia Beichong glanced into the bag.

"It's all right!" Lao Xie couldn't wait to slap this little bastard to death with an iron sand palm, if he could.

"Well," Xia Bei got up satisfied, "I'll try it first, if it's not enough, I'll come back to you again." ”

Seeing that the wine glass in Lao Xie's hand, who had just sat down on the recliner, was about to fly out, Xia Bei quickly flashed out of the small courtyard.

There was a dead silence in the courtyard.

The servants were stunned and didn't know what to do.

Xie Zhouyuan waved his hand and let them leave.

When everyone finished walking, the gate of the small courtyard closed, and Lao Xie, who was originally puffing up, suddenly jumped up, his eyes lit up, and rushed to the room with an arrow step.

"The little bastard wants to cultivate the soul technique?!Could it be that the hexagram calculated by the senior brother is true?!"

The old man muttered to himself with a strange expression, took out some materials from the cabinets, fiddled with them for a long time, hurriedly drew a talisman, and shook his hand, but the talisman was still reduced to ashes in the flames.

And the old man's figure suddenly began to fade at this moment. It only took a few seconds for his whole body to melt into the air and disappear.

......

Xia Bei returned to his room.

Closing the door, he sat on the smooth and clean wooden floor, opened the bag given by Xie Zhouyuan, took out the contents in the same way, and spread them out in front of him.

Ten pieces of low-grade yellow rune paper, a thumb-sized spirit gourd, a sun-dried lotus canopy, a blue-eyed golden eagle's head feathers, a bundle of three-color flame grass, a bundle of elephant trunk branches, ten air-dried black reef fish eyes, a small piece of spiritual ink, a soul inkstone, and an ordinary talisman pen.

Xia Bei thought about it, first got up and lit a meditation incense, then poured a small bowl of water, then sat down again, took out the "Dao Transcription", spread it out, turned to the page where the "Mingshu" was, and suppressed it with paper.

After careful comparison and confirmation that the materials for making this spell talisman were ready, Xia Bei began to process the materials.

According to the memory fragments in his mind, he first took out a lotus seed from the lotus canopy, and gently twisted it with his hand, and it became powder.

Xia Bei put the powder on the soul binding inkstone, took a three-color flame grass, peeled off the outer skin, revealing the three-color grass core inside, and then took an elephant trunk branch and a black reef fish eyeball.

He first placed the Black Reef Fish Eyeball in the water bowl.

As soon as the eyeballs touched the water, they made a crackling sound, pulsed, and dissolved in the water, releasing wisps of black liquid.

Subsequently, Xia Bei gently stirred the water with the elephant trunk branch, and in the process, the elephant trunk branch also began to melt, getting shorter and shorter.

When only a small section of the trunk branch remained, he put the core of the tricolor flame grass inside.

As soon as the flame grass entered the water, it ignited the water.

However, the flames were quickly extinguished, leaving only about half of the bowl of the original thick black liquid.

Xia Bei was concentrating on processing this material, but he didn't know that invisibly, a pair of eyes were quietly watching him.

Xie Zhouyuan stood beside Xia Bei.

It's a strange space, though. Between this space and Xia Bei, there is an invisible barrier, just like a blurred glass.

Xie Zhouyuan could see Xia Bei's general movements, but he couldn't see the details clearly.

"Is this working on material?"

"Lotus pods, flame grass, elephant trunk branches, black reef fish eyes...... It looks like that. ”

The thing was given to Xia Bei by Xie Zhouyuan, and as a soul master, as long as you look at the general movements, you can know what the other party is doing.

Xie Zhouyuan muttered to himself and nodded.

I thought, judging from the actions of this kid Fengchen, he is calm and smooth. It's good for a novice to be able to do this level of methodicality when working with materials.

But......

Xie Zhouyuan was puzzled, the corners of his mouth hooked up a mocking smile, and he said in his heart: "If I guess correctly, this little bastard is drawing some kind of Ming magic talisman. But the soul master's spell, the most important thing is the soul. He doesn't even have a soul, so he thinks that by concocting spiritual ink, he can make a talisman?"

Thinking in his heart, Xie Zhouyuan had already begun to expect Fengchen to fail.

You must know that a soul master, from the beginning to the production of talismans, requires a long process of cultivation and learning.

The soul master's soul power is inherent, and it is difficult to improve it except for some adventures.

But how to use soul power is a series of skills.

Take Xie Zhouyuan as an example, when he first entered the wall, he was first instructed by his master to do chores, carrying water, chopping wood, sweeping the ground, planting the land, feeding the pigs and collecting medicine, finishing it in the morning, and meditating in the afternoon.

This kind of double tempering of the body and spirit is to polish and round the soul power and get rid of the sharp edges and corners in it.

It was almost a full year before I began to learn to distinguish and process materials.

In another year, it will be some basic soul harvesting and soul refining.

During this period of time, the apprentices had to travel through thousands of mountains and rivers to deal with living beings and all things, to know all things and souls, to deal with them, to build their own soul collecting techniques.

By the time I started learning about the spirit and the talisman, almost three years had passed. That's pretty fast. If the talent is insufficient, there are no ten or eight years, and you are not even qualified to write.

And Fengchen, this kid doesn't know how thick the sky is. I actually asked for the materials, and I began to want to draw the talisman. If he succeeds......

"I'll gouge out my eyeballs!" Xie Zhouyuan pouted.

He was already thinking about how he would pinch this kid who was suddenly interested in soul magic when he came to him in frustration!
