Time passed little by little, and Yan Sijing's alchemy this time soon came to an end.

She urged the magic to stop the fire and start the furnace.

The top lid of the back-colored Dan furnace slowly opened, and a rich medicinal fragrance emanated out, and five red pills were suspended in the Dan furnace, exuding rich spiritual power fluctuations, far exceeding the pills of the foundation building period.

"Could it be that this is the elixir used in the Dan period?" Yuan Ming was shocked.

The value of the pill in the knot pill period is not the same as that in the foundation building period, and the difficulty of refining has also increased tenfold, Yan Sijuanjing can refine such an elixir, and the level of alchemy is far above his expectations.

Yuan Ming's heart was immediately overjoyed, I don't know if his divine soul is too strong, although he only felt one just now, he basically mastered the refining process of this red elixir, and also wrote down the spiritual materials used in this elixir.

Yuan Ming had a hunch that as long as he found those materials, his success rate in refining Yihong Pill should not be low, and if he had the opportunity to comprehend it a few more times in the future, his attainments in alchemy would be greatly improved.

The possession soon ended, and his consciousness returned to his body.

Yuan Ming didn't really look for materials for alchemy, the most important thing at the moment was the escort mission in three days.

He put away the stealing heaven tripod, released the first part of the soul and escaped into the ground, and walked towards the Baidanfang.

Three days later, Yuan Ming came to Baidanfang at the appointed time, and before he entered the door, he saw a maid in Tsing Yi standing in front of the door waiting.

"Senior Yuan, please come with me, Miss is already sitting upstairs with the other seniors."

Yuan Ming nodded, and when he followed the maid upstairs, he asked casually, "How many Taoist friends did your host invite to participate in the escort?" ”

"Back to the seniors, in addition to you, there are two seniors who have also accepted the task, counting the offerings and elders of the workshop, a total of five people participated." The maid replied.

While speaking, the maid took Yuan Ming to the private room on the second floor, pushed open the door for him, and when she heard the movement, several people sitting inside looked towards the door.

Yuan Ming looked around the room and saw Yan Sijing sitting in the main seat, signaling to himself to lead slightly, and on his right hand was a female cultivator wearing a green dress and a flower fork on her head, and a beautiful mole at the corner of her mouth.

On the left-hand side is a middle-aged male cultivator with a mediocre appearance, dressed in a simple gray robe, there is nothing surprising about it, but his cultivation is in the early stage of knotting, and his eyes looking at Yuan Ming are full of scrutiny.

In addition to the two of them, there were two other foundation building monks in the room, one was extremely short, a head lower than Yuan Ming, and the other was pale and beardless, dressed as a scholar, holding a folding fan in his hand, fanning it gently.

They are also all cultivators in the later stage of foundation building. Seeing this situation, Yuan Ming Riguang was slightly suspicious, Baidanfang not only took out the Washing Pill Spiritual Liquid as a reward for this escort, but also invited all monks in the late stage of foundation building, and also sent an Elder Jiedan as the team leader, it seems that this mission is far from being as simple as Yan Sijing said before. However, Yuan Ming had already predicted this, so he did not hesitate to enter the house calmly, and found a place to sit down.

Seeing Yuan Ming sitting down, Yan Sijing immediately smiled and introduced: "Yuan Daoyou, you are here, I will introduce you." The two beside me are Ai Feng and Elder Chai of this workshop, serving as the leader of this mission, this is Gan Daoyou of the Hidden Hill Sect, a body of earth spells in the foundation building period has few opponents, this is the Northern Yan Gongzi cast a hand to resist the wind can be described as superb, once with the power of one person to force back three monks of the same level.

Hearing this, Yuan Ming hugged a few people and said politely: "Under Yuan Ming, look up for a long time." ”

Ai Xianfeng and Beiyan Gongzi returned the salute one after another, while Elder Chai nodded slightly, and as for the short monk surnamed Gan, he looked Yuan Ming up and down a few times, and asked unceremoniously: "I know a lot of Taoist friends in Purple Window City, why have I never heard of Yuan Daoyou's name?" “

Yuan Ming also smiled appreciatively: "I used to cultivate in other cities, and it is far away from Purple Window City, which is beyond the reach of Daoist friends. ”

As soon as these words came out, Beiyan Gong Yu suddenly laughed twice, and the monk surnamed Gan frowned, instinctively felt that Yuan Ming's words were wrong, but he couldn't say a reason for a while, Yan Sijing, who was sitting in the first seat, also heard the meaning of Yuan Ming's words, and scolded the monk surnamed Gan for sitting in the well and watching the sky, the corners of his mouth were raised, but he didn't break it, and directly opened his mouth to change the topic: "Okay, since everyone has arrived, then I will explain the task in detail for a few Taoist friends." ”

Hearing this, everyone, including Yuan Ming, looked at Yan Sijing. Yan Sijing only paused slightly, and then continued to speak: "The caravan you need to escort this time is destined for Black Moon City, and on the way, you will stop in Thousand Hook City and Oasis City for a few days to replenish it, and the goods transported are not only the basic elixirs and materials, but also a batch of precious pills ordered by Sand Dye Valley, this batch of pills is related to the reputation of this workshop, and there must not be the slightest accident, so this workshop has made special arrangements." ”

As she spoke, she clapped her hands, and immediately several maids rushed in with trays and stood in front of several people.

There was a gray storage bag on the tray, but it was forbidden and sealed, and it could not be opened at will.

"Among the five storage bags, only one contains the order of the Sand Dye Valley, and the others are just cover-ups, but which storage bag it is, even the Chai Elder of the workshop does not know, so please bring one of you, be sure to keep the storage bag you are carrying, as long as it can be sent to Black Moon City in good condition in the end, it will be considered to have completed the task, whether it is true or not, the workshop will give the agreed reward to both hands.

Hearing her say this, Yuan Ming and the three of them also dispelled their thoughts of exploring, and directly put away the storage bag, and the prince of Beiyan suddenly asked: "Yan Daoyou, the caravan before your fang was robbed because of transporting this batch of goods, has the identity of the bandit been clarified?" ”

Yan Sijing's expression darkened, shook her head, and said, "At present, I only know that they are known as Feiyu, and they have Jiedan in charge, and I don't know anything else." ”

Hearing this, the prince of Beiyan folded the fan in his hand in the palm of his other hand, and sighed worriedly: "Alas, it is said that there has never been a time of tranquility in the Black Wind Desert, but recently there have been frequent major events, the former Dihe City was inexplicably destroyed, and the Guiyuan Sect mine was destroyed by the Dark Moon God, and now the Lian Dan monks have become sand thieves, and if it goes on like this, I really don't know what else will happen." ”

"That's right, how can there be no chaos in the world? The large and small sects in the Northern Desert are fighting endlessly, the Western Regions and the Qin State have also had disputes recently, the southern Xinjiang side destroyed a sect with a head and a face a few years ago, and the East China Sea is even more terrible, the news of the birth of Sanxian Island has spread loudly, and a lot of soil cultivation has run over, and now I don't know how many disputes there will be every day, even in the seemingly peaceful Central Plains, in recent years, there have been many high-level sects assassinated by unknown forces, and no results have been found so far. "The monk surnamed Gan doesn't care about the Tao.

Beiyan Gongzi shook his head noncommittally, his face was still worried, while Yuan Ming was indifferent and couldn't see any emotion.

At this moment, someone suddenly reported outside the door, saying that the caravan had been assembled, Yan Sijing immediately got up, and after saying a few more words, he asked Elder Chai and Ai Xianfeng to take everyone to the caravan assembly place and set off.

A few days later in the evening.

Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, the Baidanfang caravan that had been on the road for a day camped on the spot and prepared to rest.

However, Yuan Ming, who was following the team, gradually had doubts in his heart.

The road has been calm in the past few days, and the soul crows he let out to chase around have not seen any sand thieves or suspicious monks approaching, but the slow walking speed of this Baidanfang caravan is really beyond his expectations.

It stands to reason that since it is an important cargo, there is a possibility of encountering sand thieves on the way, and the caravan of Baidanfang has to be in a hurry, not to mention day and night, at least it has to be hurried and slow, and the speed cannot be slower than the mortal caravan that Yuan Ming mixed in when he came to the Black Wind Desert. And when Yuan Ming told Ai Feng about the doubts in his heart, he got an unexpected answer.

"Yuan Daoyou, forgive me, the last time it was robbed, the workshop suffered heavy losses, not only lost a few offerings, but also killed and injured those mortal runners, and even the camels that were carefully selected for transporting goods were also taken away, this reorganization was done in a hurry, and many people had little experience, which slowed down the speed." Ai Xian replied with a wry smile.

"In that case, why don't you let me wait with the important pills first, and then send someone to deliver the rest of the goods?" Yuan Ming asked again.

Ai Xianfeng sighed: "After the caravan was robbed last time, the owner of the workshop has transferred a large number of people to deal with other affairs, and now even the people who can follow the caravan are..."

Yuan Ming suddenly realized that Baidanfang was in an embarrassing situation, so he naturally wanted to spend a share of money to hire someone to do two things, which made them, the monks in the late stage of foundation building, take on the work that should have been accepted by the qi refining cultivators.

The same explanation, Ai Xianfeng also told the prince of Beiyan and the monk Shigan, although they were also a little dissatisfied, but in the end, they did not say much.

That night, Yuan Ming sat in the tent basket and meditated silently to cultivate, thinking about Ai's explanation, but he faintly felt that something was wrong.

Without figuring out the origin of the sand thieves, he hastily organized people to retake the trade route, even if he hired several monks in the late stage of foundation building, it was still not safe.

What's more, the Baidanfang family has a big business, with a monk in charge, and at the same time, he can take out a pill of the level of the Cleansing Pill Spiritual Liquid, so it is impossible to decay like this because of a robbery.

Just as he was thinking, the soil at his feet loosened, but it was the flower branches that suddenly came out from under the ground and came to Yuan Ming.

"Lord, dozens of miles to the northeast, there are eight monks who are rushing here with the help of the Escape Technique."

"What kind of cultivation are they?" Yu Ming raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Judging from the breath, the leader should be a monk of the Dan period, I was afraid of being discovered, so I didn't dare to get too close." Hanae replied.

Yuan Ming nodded and immediately got up, taking the flower branch and wanting to report the matter to the others in the caravan, but as soon as he walked out of the tent lotus, he saw Elder Chai in a simple gray robe standing not far from the tent lotus, with his hands behind his back, patting his head and looking up at the stars in the sky.
