After the Holy Son Festival came to an end, Tianming City once again returned to its former calm and gentleness. Mu Shi was also directly carried back to the bottom of the lake by Cangxi, and lived a life of refining medicine by frying fish from time to time.

"Bang!"

In today's Xuanshui Lake, there was a muffled sound again, accompanied by the boiling water of the lake, floating up with a thousand strange water creatures. The inhabitants of the mountain were no longer surprised, and after taking a look, they continued to work calmly.

In the cave at the bottom of the lake, Mu Shi coughed and fanned the smoke around him while coming out of the billowing black smoke, and his fair little face was already smeared with black ashes. Cangxi gnawed on the chicken leg and sat on the crystal platform without figuratively, gloating with a face, "How is it?" The fire is not so easy to control, is it? ”

Mu Shi coughed the cigarette choking into his throat while wiping the black ash on his face, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's too difficult to control, I have exploded a few pills!?" ”

Cangxi tilted his head and thought for a while, "Not much, only a dozen." ”

"......." Mu Shi choked for a while, pinched a water spirit technique to clean his face, sat on the crystal stone platform, and fell into deep thought. It has been almost a month since she domesticated the Holy Fire Spirit, and although she successfully fused and evolved into a medicinal fire with the help of Cangxi, this medicinal fire is very difficult to control, and if you are not careful, it will explode when refining medicine.

Although Cang Xi had said at the beginning that it would be unimaginably difficult because this was a mutated fire spirit, Mu Shi didn't expect it to be so difficult to control. Originally, controlling fire was her weakness, but now even if the Divine Soul realm rises sharply, she can't control the medicinal fire.

Then how will you refine the medicine in the future? Alchemy requires precise control of the temperature of the flames.

Seeing that Mu Shi had been in a stalemate for a long time, Cang Xi had seen enough of Mu Shi's blow, and said lightly with a chuckle, "The medicinal fire has become spiritual, and if you blindly try to control it, it will often set off its resistance." ”

A fluttering word, but it was mentioned to Mu Shi.

Mu Shi's eyes lit up, thoughtfully, he sat cross-legged and closed his eyes and directly entered the cultivation state.

"It's really a good seedling, your eyes are as vicious as ever." Cang Xi touched his beard and whispered with a smile, his gaze was far away, his gaze was obviously looking at Mu Shi, but it seemed to be through Mu Shi. If it weren't for the oily scenery on your hands, it would be a master's style.

Cangxi was not in a hurry or annoyed, continued to nibble on the roast chicken, watched Mu Shi meditate, and after eating, he went out for a walk around and took a bunch of delicious food, and came back to eat while waiting.

In this way, day after day, Mu Shi did not move at all like an old monk sitting still.

"Little monster, the fire spirit is a good thing, but it must also have the corresponding strength to match it." Cangxi sat cross-legged on a crystal platform, looking at Mu Shi who had not yet woken up, and said to himself with a smile.

After a few more days, there was finally a sound in the silent cave.

Hearing only the sound of "poof", a pale golden flame emerged from Mu Shi's hand, which slowly flowed like life, and gradually stretched into a stream, slowly flowing around Mu Shi.

Cangxi, who had been waiting for a long time and had started to cultivate, slowly opened his eyes, and looked at Mu Shi, a flash of surprise and curiosity flashed in his eyes, "Huh? Did it work? ”

The pale golden stream of fire flowed slowly, as docile as a pet snake in Mushi, but if you feel it carefully, you will find that there is a trace of violence hidden in the center of this flame.

"Whew-"

Suddenly, the flames swelled, enveloping Mu Shi's entire body, burning and twisting, and gradually turning into a golden lotus.

Cangxi held his chin, and with his other hand, he conjured a spirit fruit and observed the flames while gnawing on them, and he was not surprised at all that the flames enveloped Mu Shi.

The golden fire lotus spun quietly for a while, and then began to make noise again, the lotus petals gradually spread out and turned into flames again, and then condensed into a golden koi fish wandering around Mu Shi.

In the next time, Cangxi watched a fire show, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, and smashed the half-eaten spirit fruit on Mu Shi's body, but the flame koi jumped up and swallowed the spirit fruit as if it had spirituality, and the good spirit fruit turned into ashes in the sneering burning sound.

Cangxi scolded with a smile, "Is it enough to show off?" ”

Mu Shi's body trembled slightly, then the corners of his mouth hooked, and his eyelids opened to reveal smiling star eyes, "Master, how is the apprentice doing?" ”

Cangxi rubbed his nose and got up and jumped in front of Mu Shi, and touched the golden koi that was transformed by the flames, "So-so, sure enough, no one is perfect, your fire control is really not good by nature." ”

Mu Shi was helpless, stretched his waist, and the bones of his whole body that had been sitting quietly for a long time made a crackling sound, "I've worked hard, you don't know how big this medicine fire temper is." ”

"Okay, okay, I know it's not easy for you to sit for so long." Cang Xi smiled, after getting along for so long, she also understood that Mu Shi was a restless little monster who liked to fight and make trouble, and it was difficult for her to sit and meditate for so long, "Let's practice it slowly, alchemy is not an overnight thing." ”

Mu Shi gradually fell silent, in the process of meditation, she consciously touched the place where Beiye was hiding, but the other party did not respond, and the purple clouds in the sea of knowledge were also dim, thinking that Beiye had not taken the initiative to say a word for so long, Mu Shi's heart couldn't help but sink.

Looks like it's already going bad.

But Beiye didn't want to miss Cangxi, a good teacher, and deliberately showed a relaxed appearance.

"What's wrong? Suddenly stopped talking? "Who is Cangxi? How many years of life have been refined, how can he not see Mu Shi's thoughts, he took out a feather fan out of nowhere and shook it, "Say?" What's on your mind? ”

Mu Shi bit his lip and suddenly knelt down on one knee, "Master, I want to leave the Li Kingdom." ”

Cangxi was stunned, then closed his eyes and chuckled, "Alas, the apprentice's wings are stiff, I dislike the old ......man."

Mu Shi shook his head and looked serious, "Although I don't know the reason, but Master treats me like a son, how can I dislike Master." It's just ........" Mu Shi paused and clenched his palms, "I have something to do, and someone is still waiting for me." ”

"Huh~?" Cang Xi sighed softly, and looked at Mu Shi with interest, "It's rare for me to see you so serious?" Who can win the heart of my precious apprentice and care so much? ”

Mu Shi smiled slightly, his eyes softened, "Isn't there such a person as Master?" ”

Cangxi was stunned, and then his eyes drifted to the unknown distance, and the feather fan was placed on the bridge of his nose to cover the lower half of his face, and then he laughed briefly, "Ha, naturally there is." ”

"I will never forget Master's kindness in education, but time waits for no one. When I'm done with this, I'll come back to serve Master and live my best days. Mu Shi bowed his head and said respectfully. This sentence comes from the bottom of his heart, although Cangxi is strange and inexplicably forces himself to apprentice, but he also sincerely teaches himself and points out the maze.

The alchemist has a treacherous and unpredictable journey, and her future is all confused, and she is all on her own, if it weren't for Cangxi's guidance, she may have to take many detours. In Mu Shi's heart, he has unconsciously regarded Cangxi as a real master. Not only the master, but also the elder like a naughty child.

"Alas, alas," Cangxi sighed for a long time, "That's it, that's right, women don't stay!" ”

Mu Shi smiled, "Master, this is not the right description. ”

"That's pretty much it." Cangxi looked at Mu Shi sadly, "Forget it, it's embarrassing for you to let a young man in his prime stay with me, an old man who has half a foot in the coffin, all day long." ”

"Master, where do you look like an old man?" Mu Shi reluctantly stood up and stepped forward to pinch Cangxi's shoulder, "Even I am willing to bow down to the prank, the demon king is more terrible than Xiao Sheng." ”

"Are you praising me again?" Cangxi pursed his lips, stood up and walked towards the outside of the cave, "That's it, I won't stop you from going out, just do whatever you want." ”

"Master......." Mu Shi was stunned, and Cangxi seemed to be really unhappy.

"Alas-" Cang Xi took off the ring on the middle finger of his right hand and threw it to Mu Shi, "This ring is my personal treasure, since you insist on leaving, I can't teach you." But don't give up alchemy, it's all my alchemy experience, and it will be of great benefit to you. ”

Mu Shi was a little moved, knelt down again with the ring, and said from the bottom of his heart, "Thank you, Master." ”

"Let's go, let's go to your world." Cangxi stood at the entrance of the cave, looking at the sparkling lake outside, with a vague mist in his eyes, "If you are tired and in danger, come back to me." Master doesn't say that if you solve all your problems, at least you can save your life. ”

"Yes, Master, take care." Mu Shi looked at the old man who refused to look back, and suddenly found that his back was much older, after all, although he had lived on the top of 10,000 people for more than 100 years, but his relatives and friends around him passed away one by one, and what kind of mood was he feeling when he was alone in the end?

Mu Shi also felt that the corners of his eyes were a little sour, he took a breath lightly and got up and walked towards the entrance of the cave, stopped beside Cangxi and said softly, "If Master doesn't dislike it, you can go to my house to live." Father will be very welcoming to you. Moreover, the president of the Alchemist Association in Yunqi City is also a person like you, so he must have a common topic at that time. ”

"We'll talk about it later." Cangxi shook his head, the place where he was not familiar with life was not as good as Tianming City, so there was a holy girl doll who could talk to him, he turned his face and didn't look at Mu Shi, his voice was a little hoarse, "Let's go, I won't send you." ”

The tip of Mu Shi's nose was a little sour, and he bent down again to bow to Cangxi, "The time I spent with Master was the most relaxing day in the years I woke up. Thank you Master for your teaching and care, please take care of yourself, disciple. ”

Cangxi sniffed, waved his hand, and pretended to be impatient, "I know, I know, I don't know how to take care of myself?" Let's go, let's go! I hate all this red tape the most! ”

"The disciple retired." Mu Shi kowtowed, turned around and jumped into the lake, splashing a huge splash.

Cangxi turned back suddenly, took two steps and stopped beside the lake, looked at the gradually calming lake in a daze, and suddenly smiled, "Alas, there is only me, an old man, and a monster at the bottom of this lake." ”
