Only the lord of the castle sat in front of the house. The furnishings in the house are very luxurious, not only the hall is open and bright, the decoration is also very exquisite, the incense burner in the corner of the house is rising green smoke, Shi An sniffed, and suddenly felt relaxed.

"Father, this is that outer disciple Zhao An. Wu Wei stepped forward and introduced.

"Lord Castle is well. Shi An said with a deep salute.

"You're welcome, sit down. He pointed to a small stool next to the door.

After Shi An sat down, the castle lord smiled and said to him: "I heard Xiao Wei talk about you, although you are only a disciple of the outer sect of the foundation building, but you are more skilled at smelting intermediate materials than the monk of Jiedan, and now you can also refine intermediate and high-grade magic weapons, it seems that it is indeed a pity to put you in the outer gate." ”

Shi Anxin was ecstatic, and heard that the castle lord wanted to put himself into the inner door, which was something he didn't dare to think about.

"I also want you to enter the inner gate," the castle lord continued, "But it's really that the rules of our castle are too much, and you must not violate them, and your spiritual root level can't meet our basic requirements, so it's still not good." ”

Like a basin of cold water, Shi An's freshly raised flame of hope was extinguished again.

"You are originally a casual cultivator, and you have no family inheritance, how can you have such a skilled refining technique?" Seeing Shi An's face change, the castle master changed the topic and asked.

Shi Andao: "The disciple comes from the family of cultivating immortals in Zhaojiazhuang, and he has been dedicated to the Tao since he was a child, because he was born with a thick water spirit root, so he cultivated very quickly during the Qi refining period, and he successfully built a foundation at the age of thirty-five. After learning to look inward, I saw that my qi sea was much larger than that of ordinary people, and I realized that it was much more difficult for me to form a pill than ordinary people, so I spent more time cultivating, and I had to cultivate until I was seventy years old before I reached the third layer of foundation building, and then I was sure that there was no hope for knotting pills in this life. My family property has been exhausted by my cultivation, so I have to live in a foreign country, hoping to find a craft to earn some belongings, so as to rebuild the Zhao family in the future. ”

"So eight years ago, I went to Kaiyuan City, and it happened to be a centennial refining competition, and I was attracted, especially when the first three people entered my castle in one step, which made me even more envious, so I made up my mind to learn refining, and the famous teachers who were suffering from the summoning of the country were in my fort, and I didn't have any way to apprentice, so I traveled around to study. By chance, I met a master in Cheng Guo, and saw that my water spirit root was outstanding, and his inheritance also needed a disciple like me, so I studied with him for five years, and after completing my studies, I went to Kaiyuan City to further hone my skills. It wasn't until more than half a year ago that I saw that there was no opportunity to improve my ability in the refining shop, so I had the courage to come to my castle to get started. ”

After hearing Shi An's words, the castle lord seemed to be interested, "What's your master's name?"

Shi An said: "Master has explained that he will not let me say his name and surname. ”

Wu Yu's face sank, and he asked rhetorically, "Really?"

Shi Jiazuo hesitated for a long time before he said: "Master explained it like this, I don't dare to disobey, and I am a disciple in the castle, and I don't dare to deceive the castle master, I think I said one of his characteristics, you may know who he is." ”

Wu Yu nodded slightly and said, "Then you can say it." ”

"Twelve fingers. ”

"Twelve fingers!" Wu Yu stood up abruptly and said, "It's him!"

Zhao De's name is rarely known, even in the refining industry, but there are many people who know the title of "Magic Weapon Holy Hand". Few people have seen him, but the magic weapons he shot have sold well in several surrounding countries because of their excellent quality.

He was originally a casual cultivator in the early stage of Yudan, and he had no fixed residence, and he was arrogant and arrogant, although he was not likable, but because he was a refiner, no one dared to touch him. The reason why Wu Yu knew him was because his natal magic weapon sawtooth knife was made by him, and it was also that time that he saw that this person's hands had six strange fingers.

This disciple was actually fortunate to worship Zhao De as his teacher, it seems that there may really be some problems with his suspicions before, thinking of this, Wu Yu calmed down a little and asked, "Why don't you study with your master anymore?"

Shi An guessed that the other party no longer doubted his identity, so he said again: "Master taught me on a whim, and after five years, he was a little tired of it, so he sent me away. ”

"Oh, I see, since you are a disciple of Master Zhao, I can't refuse your request again, Xiao Wei also mentioned that I want to lend you the refining jade slip that can only be seen by the inner disciples of the Library Pavilion to read, as for the jade slip that smelts high-grade materials, only elder-level monks can refer to it, so I can't show it to you. Although this is also against the rules of the castle, but it is not a big problem, I will call a disciple to take you to pick up a few in a while, and you don't have to read it right away, it will be the reading day in a few days, you can still come, remember not to copy, do not let others watch. Spreading the Dharma is a felony in the fort. ”

Hearing that Wu Wei had begged the castle master to borrow jade slips that could only be seen by inner disciples and even elders, although these jade slips were actually of no use to him, he still threw a very grateful glance at the second son.

"Thank you, lord of the castle, thank you second son. Shi An hugged his fists.

"Alright, I'll have someone take you there. Xiao Yui, you stay for a while. Wu Yu called an inner disciple to take Shi An away.

Seeing the two of them go out, Wu Yu restrained his smile and sat on the chair and sighed.

"Father, did the eldest brother bring you the pill just now?"

"Well, he gave me all the Sheng Dan pills I needed for ten years at once. ”

"Didn't he always bring it once every six months, why did he give it for so long this time?"

"Alas, isn't it that he wants to go to the Yin Demon Sect to marry Dan? ”

"The Yin Demon Sect has come to accept the disciples of the late stage of foundation building again?"

"Three days later, the Yin Demon Sect came to the envoy, saying that we had recently prepared six disciples to go, I don't know how they heard that we also have a disciple of the Three Spirit Roots, and they will send him by name this time. ”

"Three Spirit Root disciples, then there is only Hall Master Sun, isn't he just building the third layer of the foundation?"

"It stands to reason that a mid-stage monk cannot accept infusion, but the other party said that his sect has a secret method to infuse a mid-stage monk with three spiritual roots, and it can also expand his spiritual root to the greatest extent. And I asked Sun Lang for his opinion the day before yesterday, and he was completely willing to risk his life to advance to the Dan, and I would not be able to intercede with the envoy anymore. In order to enter the middle stage as soon as possible, the day before yesterday he began to attack the fourth layer of the foundation, and he should be able to reach the middle stage tonight and tomorrow morning at the latest. ”

"Then why does the eldest brother want to go, his cultivation progress is very fast, he can enter the consummation in another year or two, and he can also marry the Dan in another twenty years, why take this risk?"

"That's why we quarreled, he had to take this risk, I guess he wanted to get married as soon as possible, so he became the lord of the young castle as soon as possible, and then he could form his own power in the castle as soon as possible, even if you also married Dan in the future, you don't have the strength to compete with him for the position of the lord of the castle. ”

"Then I'll tell him now, I'll leave after he marries him, and I won't compete with him for the position of castle master, just let him cultivate with peace of mind, don't take that risk." ”

Wu Yu waved his hand and said, "It's useless, I told him what you meant with me last time, and he is still very stubborn about going." Forget it, let him be. I will instruct the envoy to take special care of Wu Jian. Xiao Wei, let's not talk about this, let's talk about this outer disciple. What do you think of him?"

"Senior Brother Zhao is a very capable person, listening to his meaning, he has been the apprentice of a very powerful refining master, so his skills are outstanding, the reason why I have always wanted to fulfill his wishes is that I am worried that he will switch to other sects because of the bad conditions we give. ”

"There is some truth in what you said, according to his current skills, he will indeed be reused if he goes to another family. The reason why I don't want to meet his wish is actually there two considerations, one is naturally limited by the rules of the castle, but this is not the most critical, I mainly want to see the consequences of this, if he really leaves, he must be obsessed with refining, and if he can't get what he wants in my castle, he will switch to the sect that can give him relevant information, and we will find him back, and then meet his requirements; ”

"Father is suspicious of him, I don't think Senior Brother Zhao is a very scheming person. Wu Wei said.

"There are a lot of things you don't know, I have sent someone to investigate this person, and what Zhaojiazhuang Dibao said is consistent with it, but several big refining shops in Kaiyuan City don't know about him, so I have always been suspicious, today he said that he stayed in a small refining shop, and after a while, I will send a disciple from the Law Enforcement Hall to take his image and ask about it." The reason why I have suspicions is because of the remnant of the rebel fortress that I caught in Kaiyuan City, although you haven't seen it, but I want to tell you that the remnant is very similar to his appearance and temperament, so I have to be more careful. ”

"Isn't that nun dead?"

"I'll tell you the truth now, that man is not dead, but is still locked up in the dragon cave in the back mountain. I didn't kill her because I wanted to use her as bait to attract other comrades, and I also had some arrangements there to keep by. However, no one has been arrested so far, so your junior brother Zhao is also suspicious. ”

"You always say that the remnants of the rebellion are here, what's going on?" Wu Wei threw out a question that had been bothering him for a long time.

"I can't tell you this yet, I can only say it to the future castle master. Wu Yu smiled slightly, and seemed to say to himself: "This is our family's biggest secret. ”
