Shi Rou smiled gently: "Don't worry, I will improve my cultivation as soon as possible, the Shi family, I will definitely survive this difficulty." Nie Hu, when you are patrolling outside, if someone conflicts and finds fault, don't be afraid, I will bear it for you if anything happens. In extraordinary times, there must be extraordinary decisions. ”

"Yes!" Nie Hu took the order and left.

"Alright, let's all disperse."

After Shi Rou dismissed everyone, he headed towards the purple bamboo forest in the backyard of the Shi family.

After accurately stepping out of the sixty-four hexagram array, Shi Rou came to the thatched house deep in the dense forest, and sure enough, he saw Yun Chou sitting on the stone bench outside the house, only this time he was not playing alone, but holding a cup of hot tea, drinking tea alone.

The white mist shrouded the cloudy and elegant smoke-like face, making it difficult to see his real face, only feeling that it was so ethereal, so magnificent, and so far away, as if it would disappear at any time.

"Uncle Yun." Shi Rou couldn't help but whisper worriedly.

"You're here." Yun Chou smiled, and the mist and smoke dissipated, revealing a face that was extremely elegant and handsome, as if it did not look like what the world should be.

Every time Shi Rou saw his excessively handsome face, she would wonder, was it because Uncle Yun was too beautiful and too dusty that his father would open up a garden alone to let him live away from the world?

"I don't know why, I always feel a little bit like a golden house." Shi Rou snickered in her heart.

"What delusions are you doing? Not honest. Yun Chou said in one word.

Shi Rou quickly stuck out her tongue. This kind of naughty little appearance caught by the elders in the family will only be shown here.

"What did you come to me for?"

Shi Rou said: "Presumably you already know the current situation of the Shi family, I don't know what Uncle Yun's plans are?" ”

"Either the world rises up and rebels; Either one man reigns over one kingdom, and so on. The sound of Yun Chou did not fluctuate, and he rested the teacup on the table.

Shi Rou was stunned: "This ...... If it is a rebellion, in the past ten years, more than half of the military power has been taken back by the emperor by all means, and he may not be able to win at that time, not to mention, the world will be ruined. ”

"If Shi Qianjun is here, there is no doubt about victory." Yun Chou said firmly.

"......" Shi Rou was speechless for a while. Of course, she knew how much Uncle Yun valued her father, and it was precisely because of this that after her father went to other places, Uncle Yun had been dealing with the court passively, otherwise, with his ability, he should never put himself in danger.

Suddenly, Shi Rou had an idea.

"You...... Are you trying to force my dad to show up? After a pause, Shi Rou couldn't help but ask.

In an instant, Yun Chou's gaze suddenly became sharp, but the compelling determination only appeared for a moment, and then it returned to its ethereal and light appearance.

But it was only for a moment, and the cold sweat on Shi Rou's back flowed like water, and the whole person seemed to be rolling in the water. It's such a terrifying soul, it simply hits the sea of people's consciousness.

Yun Chou did not answer Shi Rou's question, but said, "Since you were asked to accept Qiu Yunding last time, then this time, you should come to learn alchemy." ”

Three days later.

By the gurgling stream in the depths of the purple bamboo forest, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl waited beside the furnace with a radius of half a meter, and the magic decision in her hand kept pinching out and catapulting into the furnace, only to see a purple-red flame rising from the bottom of the furnace without a source, scorching dozens of herbs inside.

I saw that the herbs in the tripod gradually melted, coalesced, and blended with each other, and the golden viscous liquid swirled rapidly.

"Hedan!" Shi Roufa pinched, shot into the ding, and shouted.

The golden viscous liquid suddenly swirled at high speed, and then split into ten, forming a small golden round pill, but Shi Rou did not stop refining, but flowed out bursts of ice and fire intertwined aura from his fingertips, attached to the golden round pill bit by bit, and with Shi Rou's mind, it carved one after another incomparably complex Dan patterns.

Ever since she had contracted Qiu Yunding with her essence blood, these Dan Patterns seemed to be born in her mind, and they would flash spontaneously when she needed them. With the help of this profound and mysterious Dan pattern, the yield of Shi Rou Alchemy is simply amazingly high.

"Cheng Dan!" Shi Rou is another law decision, those golden little round pills gradually turn into dark gold with the depiction of the Dan pattern, and fall into the jade plate that Shi Rou has already prepared, the luster is clear, the mellow is incomparable, and the light fragrance enters the nose, which is very gratifying.

Yun Chou looked at Shi Rou's happy smile from the side, and rarely bent the corners of his lips slightly. With a high talent and the blessing of being an alchemist, Shi Rou will not suffer anywhere he goes in the future, and will even be sought after by others as a guest.

"After all, in the Nether Heaven, alchemists are too rare......" Yun Chou sighed in his heart, his eyes dimming slightly.

At this time, Shi Rou didn't know what these magical pill patterns coveted by ordinary people meant, she was just immersed in the joy of constantly becoming proficient and improving the level of alchemy.

After another two days, Yun Chou called Shi Rou to his side.

"Now that your alchemy level and Dan pattern have been small, you have not lost the names of Shi Qianjun and Qiu Yunding. But the next cultivation process of the Chinese alchemist is not so simple, there are many medicinal materials that are not seen in daily life, you need to find them to practice by yourself, if you have a chance, you can also try to help others refine medicine, refine medicine once, remember to accept more than three copies of medicinal materials from others, don't be stupid. ”

"Yes." Shi Rou responded.

"Then you go."

“…… Well, Uncle Yun ......" Shi Rou wanted to speak and stopped.

"Huh?"

"It's nothing, Rou'er originally just wanted to ask, how long can your clone last......"

"It's not all the time." After a pause, Yun Chou said again, "Since you asked, then, I'll give you this." Yun Hou took out a small, irregularly shaped black stone from the placket under his neck.

"This is what Shi Qianjun left behind, and now ...... I'll leave it to you. Yun Chou shook it again in his hand, and then he spread his fingers and handed it to Shi Rou with some reluctance.

"Daddy?" Shi Rou was stunned, picked up the small black stone, and didn't need to look at it carefully.

"Let's go." The ethereal voice of the clouds crossed his ears, the wind rose, and when Shi Rou came back to his senses, the person was already outside the purple bamboo forest.

Looking further into the forest, the complicated sixty-four hexagram formations seemed to have new and infinite changes, and there were infinite killing opportunities.

Shi Rou's heart sank, Uncle Yun is hoping that no one will disturb him anymore?

Standing firmly in place for a while, Shi Rou put away the small black stone with a little melancholy.

After not leaving the purple bamboo forest for five consecutive days, when he returned to the main hall of the Shi family, Shi Rou suddenly felt that the entire family was enveloped by a forest aura, and pulled a maid on the side of the road.

"What's going on?" Shi Rou asked.

"Miss! Are you out of customs? The maid exclaimed in surprise, "Quick, Steward Qin is waiting for you in the council hall!" ”

When Shi Rou walked quickly to the council hall and was still outside the door, he heard an angry shout: "Ma Chao, it's really too deceitful!" ”

"Dare to lead soldiers and horses to surround my town's General's Mansion, are we really vegetarians?!"

"Uncle Qin." Shi Rou stepped into the room.

"Miss? Are you out of customs? Hearing this, Uncle Qin immediately got up and raised his eyes to look at Shi Rou, but he was suddenly stunned on the spot.

I saw that Shi Rou in front of him was full of spirit, like a sword hidden in its sheath, and his body exuded a shining treasure light, as if he was a different person, indescribably translucent, his eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "You broke through?" ”

Shi Rou smiled lightly and nodded. The alchemist's cultivation not only gave her a first glimpse of a new realm and achieved a small success, but also improved her cultivation to two small realms one after another, which was really an unexpected joy.

"This is really good, you came at the right time, Ma Chao, that bastard, really not a son of man, actually gathered a large number of troops, some of them were stationed outside the city, and some of them were stationed outside the gate of my Shijia, which is called patrolling in the city, who doesn't know that this is a deterrent! I just want to force my Shi family to comply, hmph, he thinks beautifully, how can my Shi family let him get his wish?! Qin Bo was furious, and slapped his palm on the table next to him, and the mahogany table that had been nearly a thousand years old was torn apart.

Shi Rou groaned slightly and said, "In your opinion, when will they launch a general attack?" ”

Qin Bo was stunned: "This ...... There should always be a prophet, and it will only be ...... after my Shi family refuses again After all, they still have some scruples, they are new to the city, they are not familiar with the terrain of South Fire City, if they want to start a war, they must arrange it first. ”

"Okay, that's the case, don't let your guard down, you can give them some trouble in a small area, so that they know who is the master of this Southern Fire City." Shi Rou paused, "How many of them are in the army?" ”

"To say the least, it's more than 100,000." Nie Hu answered, and he had always been in charge of exploring.

"......" Shi Rou suddenly fell silent.

The total number of Zhenguo troops left in Nanhuo City is only 20,000, in order to avoid suspicion, my father scattered his troops and scattered them to various places, especially the location of the family, which is only 20,000, I thought it was enough to show the emperor the sincerity and humility of the Shi family, it seems that the Shi family is not dead, and the emperor is uneasy.

"At least five times as much? ......," Shi Rou muttered.

"And that's not all." Nie Hu said again, "That Ma Chao doesn't know what kind of ecstasy he poured into those bastards, in a short period of time, now most of the families in Nanhuo City have turned against each other, who doesn't have two or three thousand private troops, especially the Yang family is the most hateful!" That Yang Tianqing actually abused his power, using the garrison under his command to openly join Ma Chao's team, with their guidance and internal response, I am afraid that ......"

Suddenly, the gloomy atmosphere oppressed the entire council chamber so dreary that it was breathless.

Shi Rou raised her eyebrows and scolded: "What, this is frustrating? Is this discouraged? Is this still the Zhenguo army that I am invincible in terms of being one of ten, heroic and majestic, and who has won many battles with few victories?! Could it be that without Shi Qianjun, you are nothing, and without the generalissimo, you will all become bears? That's what you guys are?! If that's the case, go home and feed, don't be embarrassed and embarrassed! ”
