Chapter 34: The Vortex (Seeking Follow-up)
Su Heng retreated to refine the elixir, and it was rare to spend a stable time.
But the outside world is not as calm and peaceful as in this small courtyard, the turmoil is gradually rising, and the whirlpools are converging.
Deling County.
In an elegant courtyard in the outer city.
Master Zhao, who wore a navy blue robe with a goatee, held a large pu fan in his hand, which continued to fan rhythmically, and the glow of the burning fire was reflected in his slightly sunken eyes because of his old age.
Half an hour later.
Master Zhao stopped the movement in his hand and clapped his hands gently.
Immediately, a disciple with quick hands and feet stepped forward, wearing thick cotton gloves in his hands, and removed the reddish Dan furnace from the flames.
Laugh at!
Put it in the cold pool water.
The temperature in the furnace drops rapidly, and the lid of the furnace is opened.
A soft aroma of herbs came out of the black Dan furnace, and when you looked into the copper furnace, you could see that five or six round pills had been formed.
"Master, this Rejuvenation Pill has been successfully refined."
The young apprentice stared down with wide eyes and an irrepressible surprise on his face.
Rejuvenation Pill is a pill used to heal injuries and detoxify, the effect is excellent, as long as the injury is not too serious after taking it, it can be controlled in a short time, and has an inhibitory effect on most common toxins.
on the market.
Two pills are the most popular.
The former is similar to Qi and Blood Pill and Guiyuan Pill that can assist cultivation and replenish blood and qi.
The latter is a healing pill similar to the antidote pill and the rejuvenation pill that can save people's lives at critical moments. And in most cases, the latter is worth a little more than the former.
"Not bad."
Master Zhao bowed slightly, although he had a smile on his face, he didn't look too excited, "I have failed more than ten times, and it is a matter of course that the refining is successful." ”
"There are only five people in the entire Deling County who can refine the Rejuvenation Pill, Master, you are already very powerful."
The young apprentice was respectful and flattering.
Looking at the kind smile on Master Zhao's face, the young apprentice thought for a while and continued to speak: "I heard that there is another person in the gang to refine the Guiyuan Pill, and he is a very young pharmacist. ”
There was a hint of resentment in the apprentice's words: "If you want me to say, how can those young pharmacists succeed if you can't even refine the elixir, Master?" ”
Master Zhao shook his head, the smile on his face disappeared, and his expression became slightly sharper.
"Some things have nothing to do with age, if hard work and experience are useful, then what's the use of being a genius?"
Saying these words.
Master Zhao seemed to think of something, shook his head and sighed: "I know that you are a little unconvinced now, but when you experience more things, you will know that some things are never fair, it is enough for us to do our own things with peace of mind, irrelevant things, don't worry about it, and don't think about it." ”
The young apprentice saw that the master's face turned serious.
was suddenly frightened, and after hearing the bitter words behind him, he suddenly nodded as if he didn't understand, and didn't dare to continue to talk about this matter.
——
Or Deling County.
In a bustling inner city, in a dark chamber under a spacious house.
A few wrist-thick candles flickered, and the red flame flickered and flickered, illuminating a burly man sitting on a large tiger skin chair at the end of the secret room.
This person is 1.9 meters tall, his strong muscles are as hard and angular as rocks, and he faintly reveals a gray and white color under the light of the fire, obviously he has practiced some kind of special exercises, and has reached the point of Dacheng.
Just sitting quietly in the chair and not moving gives people a sense of oppression like a tiger in the mountains.
The burly man's name was Luhu.
Refining Martial Artist, the deputy gang leader of the Qingcheng Gang, is a real top powerhouse who can be ranked in the entire Deling County.
Lu Hu's face was not good, his dark thick eyebrows were frowned, and he was holding a letter in his hand, which he was carefully examining with the help of the light of the candle.
Half an hour later.
Lu Hucai used his stubby fingers to crumple the letter in his hand.
Put it on a candle and light it and turn it into ashes.
"Xu Mu, what do you think of this matter?" Lu Hu turned his head and looked at a middle-aged and elegant man dressed as a scribe with a cyan scarf on his head in the shadows beside him, and asked seriously: "Do you think that Guiyuan Dan can really be successfully refined?" ”
"I can't say for sure."
It was early summer and the weather was hot. Xu Mu held a folding fan in his hand, fanned it lightly on his chest, and after thinking about it seriously, he said, "I have seen the elixir refined by that young man, and the quality is quite good. His attainments in the Dan Dao should be quite good. ”
"It's a bit tricky." After hearing this, Lu Hu's brows frowned even tighter.
Saying goes.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
The Qingcheng Gang is naturally not monolithic, a gang of thousands of people, which has a lot of interests involved, and is naturally divided into several different camps internally.
As the deputy gang leader, Lu Hu represents one of the forces. And Ji Hongxin is obviously the other force where the gang leader is.
In the original situation, the leader of the Qingcheng Gang was strong, and there was the great help of the rest of the refining martial artists.
But it was last year.
The leader of the Qingcheng Gang was besieged by the demons of the White Lotus Sect and was seriously injured, leaving a young gang leader to take charge of the overall situation. Although the talent of the young gang leader is good, he is too young to convince the public.
The Guiyuan Pill refined by Su Heng was prepared for this young gang master to attack the martial artist.
Luhu was born as a commoner, and if he can go so far, he is naturally ambitious.
I finally saw the opportunity to become a regular, and I won't give up easily.
"The big gang leader has disappeared for half a year now, whether he is dead or alive or not, once the young gang leader becomes the climate, I am afraid that such an opportunity will never be encountered again."
After a little thought.
Lu Hu's face turned fierce, and he said coldly: "Whether it can be done or not, that alchemist must find a way to get rid of it." ”
"I'll leave this matter to you..."
"Leave it to me." Xu Mu, who was wearing a square scarf, bowed slightly, and then pretended to sigh: "Speaking of which, the talent of that young man who refines Guiyuan Dan is also not bad, if it can be used by us, making friends with such a talented alchemist will definitely bring us a lot of benefits." ”
"Those who can grow up are geniuses, and those who die in the middle are just dry bones on the side of the road."
Similar things, Lu Hu has obviously seen a lot of them.
Hearing Xu Mu's emotion, he just sneered again and again.
He didn't know much about Su Heng's past, and subconsciously regarded him as a weak alchemist, and didn't take it seriously. In his opinion, it couldn't be easier to kill a pharmacist.
But sometimes things develop beyond people's expectations.
