Leaving Wanbao Pavilion, Lu Yu and Ziyan came to Xu's Mansion, and the two of them took off their black robes in the carriage, but Ziyan covered her face with a veil, covering her beautiful face.

In the Tianlan world, ordinary women also have to abide by the three obedience and four virtues, and a female cultivator like Ziyan also has a bad reputation in the eyes of ordinary people, and only in the group of monks will she not care too much about these, so Ziyan still decided not to give others a chance to gossip.

After the news spread that Xu Xia, the son of Xufu, was in the second class of high school, the neighbors in the neighborhood all came to say goodbye, and when Lu Yu and Ziyan appeared in Xu's mansion, they saw that the lively flowing water seat had occupied the entire street at the entrance of Xu's mansion.

Knowing of Lu Yu's arrival, Xu Xia invited Lu Yu and Ziyan into his small courtyard, and the three people Xia Yueming and Lu Yu knew before were also among them, and of course there were some people Lu Yu didn't know.

After Xu Xia's introduction, Lu Yu met some more people, including candidates who also came to Xuzhou, and friends and nephews of the Xu family in the capital.

Xu Xia showed his head in his yard, took a face to face with Lu Yu, and was called out by his second uncle.

"Brother Qin, Brother Hong, Brother Zhang, how are your results this time?"

After Chunjinglou, Lu Yu and Xu Xia went to the fairy pool, Qin Ming and the others stayed in the capital, and Lu Yu didn't see them on the day the Gongyuan announced the results, so naturally I don't know if they were admitted.

"Brother Zhang and I were both admitted, and Brother Hong unfortunately failed the list!"

For this result, several people had expected it before, Hong Guangming and Xia Yueming's cultivation were about the same, and the ladder to heaven was similar, but Xia Yueming's ranking was only 27,172, and Hong Guangming's ranking was likely to be around 30,000.

Hong Guangming didn't have the loss and frustration he imagined, the cultivation of the third layer of qi refining was indeed too low, maybe he had already prepared in his heart, and said with a smile: "You don't need to comfort me, the possibility of winning the scientific examination this time is not great, and I have also thought about my future plans......." ”

"In fact, there is not only one way to take the imperial examination!"

Qin Ming said: "These people like us in the exam don't know if they will be sent there. On the contrary, Brother Hong can go back to Xuzhou and find an errand in the official mansion, which is close to home and does not have to run around, which may not be a good thing. ”

In fact, it is true, because the land area of the Great Sage Dynasty is too vast, and two or three prefectures and counties are almost the size of a Xia country, and it is very common to go to other places to be officials, not to mention not seeing their families for many years, or not to contact them for several years, so some people do not participate in scientific examinations at all, and it is not bad to be willing to stay in the local area as officials.

At the thought of going their separate ways soon, the ends of the world and the sky were separated, everyone was inevitably a little lost.

A few people had a lunch in Xu's Mansion, during which they only saw Xu Xia's two sides, and everyone left Xu's Mansion after the meal, this is not that Xu Xia is arrogant, it is really too much entertainment.

Lu Yu and Ziyan returned to their home, so they decided to stay with Ziyan in the past few days.

The next day, Ziyan went back to Chunjinglou and transported back the items left in Chunjinglou.

In the following days, in addition to practicing every day, Lu Yu also read books and fiddled with some gadgets, and when he was tired, he stuck together with Ziyan to talk about love, and the small life was very comfortable and leisurely.

It may be that Ziyan was exposed to a different environment before, and his knowledge and understanding of cultivation are much broader and deeper than Xu Xia's. In particular, Ziyan has a large collection of books, involving all aspects of cultivation knowledge, and there are more than a dozen jade plaques that introduce the treasures of heaven and earth, which makes Lu Yu know a lot of knowledge about cultivation.

It is precisely because Ziyan's qualifications are very low, so he usually pays attention to collecting a large amount of cultivation knowledge, and wants to find a cultivation path suitable for him.

"This talisman must not only be proficient in the way of the five elements, but also understand the operation of the aura and the rules of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

"When I found out that my cultivation was difficult, I wanted to change my cultivation path, and I found that talisman making, refining, alchemy and other cultivation were also not easy, so I realized why I paid attention to qualifications and spiritual roots in my cultivation," Ziyan said.

"Another example is alchemy, not only to understand the spiritual materials of heaven and earth, but also to be familiar with pharmacology, the control of fire is meticulous, no talent is not good, if you want to become an alchemist, financial resources are also a very important part, if there is no big force behind it, even the medicinal materials for practicing hands cannot be bought!"

Lu Yu has found these days that cultivation is the easiest thing, as long as there is a book of qigong refining methods, no matter where you are, you can slowly cultivate, at most, it is a matter of how fast everyone can cultivate.

However, auxiliary cultivation such as talisman making, refining tools, and alchemy require even higher conditions.

At the beginning, Lu Yu also thought that Ziyan couldn't cultivate with low qualifications, but he could refine the pill refining weapon!

It wasn't until Lu Yu mastered a lot of knowledge in this area that he found that qualifications and spiritual roots were not only the basis of cultivation, but also the basis of refining techniques such as alchemy, and the conditions required were much higher than those of cultivation, unless Ziyan had some crooked talent, there was no hope at all.

"By the way, are the spices I ordered ready?"

"Most of them have already been bought, only a few uncommon spices still need to wait for a while, is Lu Lang ready to refine perfumes", Ziyan knew that Lu Yu would refine perfumes, and seeing that Lu Yu had prepared a lot of spices, he guessed that Lu Yu was going to make perfumes.

Lu Yu really wants to make perfume, Ziyan, a loser, used to live a life of abundant food and clothing, but now with Lu Yu, a poor boy, he can't sit and eat empty!

After thinking about it, Lu Yu decided to teach the method of perfume making to Ziyan, but before that, Lu Yu had to practice it himself.

After selling perfume in the county for the first time, Lu Yu found that the perfume of the Tianlan world and the main world have their own merits, and the difference between the two lies in the raw materials and production process, so Lu Yu specially studied some videos of homemade perfumes in the main world, and found that it is not difficult to make perfumes, and can copy the perfume process of the main world to the Tianlan world, and use the spices with aura in the Tianlan world to make completely different perfumes.

Originally, Lu Yu was going to find a place to make aura perfumes for sale after settling down, but now that Ziyan appeared around him, Lu Yu thought about handing over this set of processes to Ziyan, at least after Ziyan mastered it, he didn't have to think about the cost of food and clothing.

There are many ways to make perfumes, and the resulting perfume is naturally different.

Considering the degree of difficulty, Lu Yu first pounded the prepared spices into powder, added a few drops of water and poured in some alcohol, the alcohol was an ordinary liquor purchased by Lu Yu in advance, and after distillation, the most primitive liquor in Tianlan World was obtained, this kind of liquor with a high degree Lu Yu had never seen in Tianlan World, and he didn't know if there was a similar liquor.

After being filtered through highly liquor-soaked spices, a bottle of Reiki perfume with a very light fragrance is obtained.

"Ziyan, are you satisfied with this bottle of Stacky?"

Ziyan saw the whole process of refining perfume in her eyes, and found that refining perfume was a bit too simple, subverting her perception of perfume.

"This taste is a bit light", Ziyan said the same feeling as Lu Yu,

"It's just the initial fragrance, the concentration is very low, and as long as you increase the concentration, the fragrance becomes stronger."

Next, Lu Yu began to process those primary perfumes by distillation, which is basically the most primitive perfume making process in the main world, although the purity is not very high, but the perfume produced is not much different from the perfume of Tianlan world.
