Chapter 196: Emperor Dongyan's Temptation
"Miss Chai, the emperor just wants to know how talented you two are, are you going to refuse the emperor's request?"
Emperor Dongyan's face was obviously ugly when he heard Yan Song's words, as the emperor of a large empire, how could he tolerate a person from a small country who was attached to him to provoke his majesty?!
"Summoning your natal fire, I want to see it!"
They insisted on refusing to say, and Chai Fengyin became more and more suspicious of their bad intentions, "Your Majesty, you are the supreme of the empire, if you want to know anything, you can ask me directly, why bother?" ”
"Chai Fengyin, you are not small! No one has ever dared to question my orders like this! Natal spiritual fire, do you call or not? ”
"Please also ask the emperor to give me a reason to summon the natal spiritual fire!"
"If you don't summon it, you're resisting the order, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" Emperor Dongyan's eyes flashed with real killing intent.
Chai Fengyin's heart tightened, I really don't know what happened today, it seems that if you want to save your life today, you can only show the umbrella of the master, "Your Majesty, you'd better ...... before killing me"
"Emperor Dongyan is angry, little girl, she doesn't know the importance of her young and vigorous speech, and asks the emperor to give her another chance." Elder Yansong suddenly turned into a peacemaker and persuaded Emperor Yin Yin of Dongyan.
"Miss Chai doesn't want to do alchemy, and the old man is not reluctant. But the old man wants me to learn alchemy with you, I wonder if Miss Chai can agree? ”
Chai Fengyin's sleeve was gently pulled by Lou Xinyue's hand again, and she saw that her eyes were full of pleading, and the pair of masters and apprentices took turns to fight, but it seemed that she didn't know what to do if she didn't agree.
"How?"
Chai Fengyin pulled the corners of his mouth, his smile was slightly cold, and his suspicious gaze locked on Yan Song, "As far as I know, the Crescent Moon County Lord only activated the natal spiritual fire in his body yesterday, and Elder Yan Song only accepted the Crescent Moon County Lord as an apprentice yesterday, how do you think a person who has just come into contact with alchemy and an intermediate alchemist should learn from each other?" ”
"What Miss Chai said is right, judging from the current strength of the two of you, my apprentice and Miss Chai are indeed incomparable. However, there is still room for you to learn from each other. ”
Yan Song seemed to have expected Chai Fengyin to ask this question, and calmly responded: "Everyone knows that judging the strength and talent of an alchemist is not only based on the grade of the elixir he refines, but also on the quality and quantity of his elixir.
Now that the two of you are studying alchemy, you might as well choose a primary pill to refine, and through the quality of the pill and the quantity of the pill refined by the two of you, you can distinguish the superior. In this way, the two of you can also exchange alchemy experiences with each other, and this is not a benign competition! ”
"That's what the master said!" Lou Xinyue looked at Chai Fengyin expectantly, "Sister Chai, I have just learned alchemy, I am definitely not as good as you, please give me more guidance when the time comes!" ”
Chai Fengyin smiled faintly, and did not accept her words, "Your master, Elder Yansong, is still here, how dare I come out to offer ugliness!" ”
Yan Song twisted his beard and smiled, and led Lou Xinyue to the side hall of Taiji Hall, "Miss Chai, please come here!" ”
Chai Fengyin followed their master and apprentice into the side hall, but she didn't plan to do alchemy.
Lou Xinyue had already prepared the medicinal materials and set up the Dan furnace, and seeing that she hadn't started yet, she couldn't help but ask strangely: "Sister Chai, why don't you choose the medicinal materials yet?" ”
"Yes, Miss Chai, although refining a primary pill is easy for you, the time for refining this pill will not be shortened because you are proficient!"
"Elder Yan Song just wants to know the quality of the pill I refined, so why bother."
Chai Fengyin put his hand into the storage bag, and when he took it out again, he had an extra pill bottle in his hand, and handed it to Yan Song, "This is the amount of the Yellow Pin Washing Pill I refined, one furnace." ”
Yan Song's gaze fell on the pill bottle, but he didn't take it, "Miss Chai, what do you mean by this?" You refuse to learn from my apprentice, do you look down on the old man? ”
"Elder Yan Song's words are wrong! You want to see the elixir I refined, didn't I give it to you? If you want anything else, it's better to be outspoken! Chai Fengyin's eyes flashed contemptuously, when she was stupid, she deliberately proposed what alchemy to learn, didn't she want to see her natal spiritual fire?
Raising the pill bottle, Chai Fengyin asked one last time, "Elder Yan Song, do you still want to see my pill?" ”
"Of course!" Yan Song took the pill bottle, poured the pill into his palm, buried his head in counting and examining it carefully, and when he looked up again, the expression on his face was unfathomable.
Lou Xinyue was still on the side and continued to refine the elixir, her expression was serious and focused, and her movements were also very skillful, whether it was dealing with medicinal materials or manipulating the natal spiritual fire, in her, Chai Fengyin couldn't see that this was a new hand who had just entered the door of alchemy.
Chai Fengyin was a little curious, could it be that Lou Xinyue would refine the pill before the spiritual root was abolished?
Hey? Chai Fengyin's eyes were certain, what were the herbs that Lou Xinyue had just put into the Dan furnace...... Isn't this the material for Xuanpin Yangyuan Dan?
"It's done!" Ning Dan was successful, Lou Xinyue let out a surprise sound, holding the freshly baked pill and looking extremely excited.
Yan Song took the Yang Yuan Dan refined by Lou Xinyue, and the more he looked at it, the brighter his eyes became, and he couldn't stop admiring, "Genius! It's really a genius that has not been seen in a century! For the first time in alchemy, it is rare to be able to refine the Xuanpin pill, but I didn't expect the quality to be inferior. All right! It's really a good apprentice of my rock pine! Hahaha......"
"Uh-huh!" A majestic cough suddenly appeared at the door of the side hall, choking Yan Song's big laugh in his throat.
"Elder Iwamatsu, but there's a result?"
"Yes, there is! Your Majesty, you see, this is the elixir refined by the two of them! ”
Yan Song excitedly handed the freshly baked pill to Emperor Dongyan, "Look, this is the Xuanpin Yangyuan Pill that the Xinyue County Lord has just successfully refined, and it has perfectly condensed five pills, and it is not of inferior quality. ”
Emperor Dongyan couldn't hide his surprise, "Xinyue, is this really your first alchemy?" ”
"Yes......" Lou Xinyue seemed embarrassed to bow her head, "The master told me carefully how to do it before." ”
"Anyway, you can successfully refine the Xuanpin Pill the first time, which is enough to show that you are extremely talented." Emperor Dongyan took the Yangyuan Pill and looked at it carefully several times, and the smile on his lips showed a hint of relief in his heart.
"Where's Chai Fengyin's elixir? What is the quality? In addition to being excited, Emperor Dongyan did not forget the original intention of this alchemy.
Yan Song immediately presented Chai Fengyin's elixir, "Your Majesty, this is Miss Chai's elixir, Huangpin Cleansing Pill." ”
"Huang Pin? Chai Fengyin, even the new moon is a refined Xuanpin elixir, aren't you perfunctory? ”
You're right! Chai Fengyin said in his heart, it is you who are perfunctory! Seeing that they kept praising Lou Xinyue's pills, excited and inexplicable, Chai Fengyin thought to himself, it's better to let Lou Xinyue win like this, but let's see what kind of medicine they bought in the gourd!
"The emperor misunderstood, I took out the Yellow Pulp Cleansing Pill, just to make this competition more fair. After all, this is the first time that the Crescent Moon County Lord has refined the pill, and the first pill I have refined is the Huangpin Cleansing Pill. ”
"Really?"
"If the emperor doesn't believe it, he can send someone to the Alchemist Guild of Muxi Country to inquire about whether there is any yellow medicine in the pill I sold in the Alchemist Guild for the first time!"
"No, I'm sure you didn't speak. After all, being able to successfully refine the Xuanpin Pill for the first time, such an alchemy talent is indeed not available to everyone. ”
As soon as the results of alchemy came out, Emperor Dongyan's attention to Chai Fengyin obviously decreased a lot, and he sent her out of the palace without saying a few words.
And when Chai Fengyin left, Lou Xinyue was still staying in the Taiji Hall. She also heard that the tone in which Emperor Dongyan and Lou Xinyue spoke seemed to be a little more intimate......
……
"Xiao Fengfeng, Emperor Dongyan didn't embarrass you, right?"
Xingshu waited outside the corridor, and as soon as he saw Chai Fengyin coming back, he immediately greeted him with concern. Behind her, Zhu Yuanze and Feng Kui also followed.
In addition to these companions of Muxi Country who cared about Chai Fengyin, people from other countries in the post house were also openly and secretly concerned about Chai Fengyin's whereabouts. For example, in Nanjin Kingdom next door, Chai Fengyin saw a black shadow flash in at the gate of the courtyard.
Chai Fengyin and Xing Shu looked at each other, and said in a loud voice: "How can the emperor embarrass me? It's just that he summoned me and the Crescent Moon Lord into the palace and asked a few words. ”
"It turns out that the New Moon County Lord was summoned to the palace!" Xingshu said knowingly.
When they entered the house, they spoke again. Zhu Yuanze also asked with concern: "Lord Fengyin, what is Emperor Dongyan calling you into the palace for?" It's not for the Vast Mountain this time, right? ”
"Naturally not, does the matter of the Vast Mountain have anything to do with me and our Muxi Country?" Chai Fengyin was a little surprised by his brain circuit, "Why would the prince think so?" ”
Zhu Yuanze's face was bitter, "It's not this time that no one in our Muxi Country has an accident in the vast mountain, even Dongyan has someone arrested, I'm worried that Emperor Dongyan will be angry with our Muxi Country." ”
"What's the matter with us?! On the one hand, we didn't have an accident because of luck, and on the other hand, because of our strength, not to mention that our Muxi country itself has a small number of people and a small goal. Chai Fengyin frowned, unable to understand the logic of this anger.
"Xiao Fengfeng, don't think it's strange that my cousin thinks so, in fact, it's because on the day of the accident, when Emperor Dongyan summoned all the representatives of the vassal countries into the palace, my cousin ......"
"Alright, cousin, don't talk about that. Lord Fengyin is right, we didn't have an accident because we have few people in Muxi Country, and we still have our strength! ”
Although Zhu Yuanze stopped Xingshu's words in time, Chai Fengyin could also think of what Xingshu's words were, it was nothing more than those vassal countries that had an accident united to target Muxiguo, slandering and even bullying and insulting Zhu Yuanze, the prince of Muxiguo......
As long as Chai Fengyin understands these in his heart, he naturally won't say it to embarrass Zhu Yuanze. Pressing her mind, she explained: "You can rest assured, it's not what you think. Emperor Dongyan summoned me to the palace to test my alchemy skills. ”
