The four walls are smooth and glowing with metallic luster, and in the middle of the room, there is a tall alchemy furnace, and there is no decoration at all.

This is Xi Fu's alchemy room, which is strong and fireproof, and when it is idle, Chen Sheng will run in here to practice the eight methods of fire control.

"Hoo ......"

He concentrated on his breath, and the mana in the dantian gathered on the palm of his hand along the meridians, burning into a fire, like a piece of soft soil, being pinched into an erupting volcano.

It's just that this volcano looks a little ugly, the mountain line, the magma and the sparks, all have the smell of clumsy painter's brush and ink, and there is no beauty at all.

"Beauty is an extension of the Tao, and being so ugly is obviously unqualified."

Chen Sheng clenched his hands into a ball, and the gushing volcanic form dissipated at once, and he rubbed his temples that were a little numb.

Even though the Eight Methods of Fire Control were very rough, he really put most of his energy into it.

There is no hurry.

Time is in me, if you can't do it now, just do it well, there will always be a good one.

This is Chen Sheng's philosophy.

"The eight methods of fire control are not simple, this is the polishing of spiritual power and mana, and it is extremely skillful."

Xi Fu walked in and was very relieved to see that Chen Sheng was practicing hard, but the Eight Methods of Fire Control were too profound and meticulous, and it was difficult to practice, so the cultivators had to pass the test in their state of mind.

In this regard, Chen Sheng undoubtedly passed the test.

"Gotta have a water mill, take your time."

Chen Sheng has a deep understanding.

The Eight Methods of Fire Control, for him, can only be sharpened slowly, and the best talent is like a sharp carving knife, carved quickly, and the opposite is the same.

"That's right."

Xi Fu nodded and said, "It just so happens that there is a batch of spirit grass in the Dust Light Hall that has not been delivered on time, you can go and take a look." ”

The alchemists of the medicine house have a fixed amount of alchemy every quarter, and the spirit grass required in it is the responsibility of the medicine house.

A month ago, he had already instructed the "Ning Hua North Garden" produced by the spirit grass to prepare, but today, it still hasn't been delivered.

"Okay, Ning Hua North Garden."

This is the responsibility of the deacon of the medicine house, and Chen Sheng answered without saying a word.

The Guangxiu Immortal Sect is very large, but it is impossible for all the spiritual grass cultivation to be divided into the mountain, and some spiritual grass is planted outside the sect and taken care of by the people below.

Ninghua North Garden, fifty miles away from Guangxiu Immortal Sect.

Built on a hill and surrounded by a stream.

The temple is heavy and planted with spiritual grass.

It's like a fairyland that has fallen into the world.

There are relatively few immortal cultivators in the North Garden of Ninghua, and most of them are mortals who water and turn over the soil.

"Da ......"

Chen Sheng rode the demon horse of the Immortal Sect, and came all the way, fifty miles away, galloping, almost instantaneous.

The steward of Ninghua North Garden, surnamed Li, was already waiting at the door, and when he saw Chen Sheng's arrival, he was very respectful.

"I've seen Lord Deacon."

Deacon Li didn't dare to snub the people in the medicine house, and the changes in the garden also made him feel uneasy, for fear of being condemned and losing his life.

After all, this is not a small matter.

"Why hasn't the spirit grass that Master Xi Dan needs been delivered?"

Chen Sheng turned over and dismounted, and his attitude was very peaceful.

His character is like this, no matter whether he is facing an immortal or a mortal, his state of mind will not change, and he believes that there is no high or low between life.

"Deacon, something is wrong."

Realizing that Chen Sheng was a kind person, Deacon Li's heart breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, he was unfavorable, he was caught, no matter how he said it, he was guilty, and when he met an irascible person and lost his life, he could only be regarded as unlucky.

"What's the matter?"

Chen Sheng had already expected that the spiritual grass of the medicine house could not be relied on, and the steward of Ning Hua Huayuan would not dare to slack off unless he went crazy.

Such a delay can only be said to be a problem.

"A demon beast ran into the garden, and the spirit grass was all gone."

Speaking of this, Steward Li's heart was dripping blood, he was careful in his work, and when he took care of the spirit grass, he didn't dare to slack off at all, and he did his best.

Seeing that it was time to harvest, when he woke up, the medicine garden exploded, and he even had the heart to die at that time.

"Go to the medicine garden."

Chen Sheng said calmly.

Steward Li cried and took Chen Sheng to the medicine garden, which was a mess, and the spirit grass that used to flourish in the past had become a piece of chicken feathers, either broken or bitten off in half, but the vast majority of it was gone.

In the ground, there are also potholes, deep and complex, like connected tunnels.

It can be seen that it is dug by a demon beast, and traces of claws can be seen on the edge.

"What about monsters?"

Chen Sheng's first feeling was that it was very quiet, quiet to the point of dilapidation.

"It's gone."

Steward Li shook his head, at the beginning, the demon beast was still there, and he also saw it, he had the intention to kill the thief, but he was hidden underground, and several attempts were useless.

"The demon beast in the middle of the first order is a bloodthirsty beast, and it is gone."

Chen Sheng released his spiritual power outside and probed into the thief cave, but he didn't see the figure of the demon beast, and it was empty inside.

The breath of the demon beast, he is somewhat familiar, it is a bloodthirsty rat, he once killed one in Chen Guo's Tieyun Ridge, so he remembered it.

The level, the middle of the first order, is divided according to the cultivation of immortal cultivators, and it is the realm of the fourth or fifth layer of qi refining.

"Do you think that the thief in Ning Hua North Garden is a demon beast?"

He felt that something was wrong, after the bloodthirsty rat stole the spirit grass, he didn't leave until he was seen by the people in the garden, and then he disappeared.

It seems to be deliberate, leading others to think in the direction of the spirit grass being eaten by demon beasts.

"Lord Deacon, you just give us a hundred tiger guts, and we don't dare to do anything to deceive the superior and the inferior."

This sentence alone made Deacon Li kneel down in fright, the matter of guarding self-theft is absolutely impossible to do, and when it was discovered by the Immortal Sect, not only himself, but also the family and relatives behind him had to die.

"I mean, someone is manipulating the monster behind their backs."

Chen Sheng reasoned.

"This ......, the old man's mana is low, and he doesn't know."

Steward Li shook his head blankly, his mouth was full of bitterness, his cultivation was low, he only had the realm of the third layer of qi refining, and he was only appointed to manage the Ning Hua Yuan because of his first-class ability in cultivating spiritual grass.

This is the medicine garden of Guangxiu Immortal Sect, and there has never been a problem before, but suddenly something happened and he was stunned.

Chen Sheng dared to say this, naturally he found something, devouring the spirit grass of the entire medicine garden, which was not something that a first-order demon beast could digest.

So......

The spirit grass was not eaten, was it destroyed?

There must be traces of the existence of things, and the destroyed spirit grass will also leave a little residue, but obviously, there is no spirit grass dregs in the field of the medicine garden.

When the chain of evidence fails to close the loop reasonably, the "truth" is wrong.

He didn't ask Steward Li anymore, and the old man was completely stunned now.

Relying on the cultivation of the seventh layer of Qi refining, he traced the traces of the bloodthirsty rat and walked all the way towards the outside of the North Garden of Ning Hua.

Where the duty is, he can't be unclear and leave like this.
