Elder Wan also stopped what he was doing at this time and said, "Come with me, I'll take you to familiarize yourself with the alchemy place." The place where we are at the moment is where the alchemy place stores the medicinal materials, and almost all the medicinal materials needed to refine the elixir are obtained from here......"

While leading Li Xiuping, he introduced Li Xiuping one by one, and after walking around the entire alchemy office, he led Li Xiuping to a simple bamboo hut and said, "You will live here in the future, clean up by yourself later, and I will have someone bring you quilts and living necessities later." ”

Li Xiu saluted and said, "Thank you, Elder Wan." ”

After Elder Wan left, Li Xiuping looked at the small bamboo building in front of him, which would be his place of residence from now on.

According to Elder Wan, he didn't have to do anything today, he just needed to clean his residence and familiarize himself with the alchemy place, and after breakfast tomorrow morning, he would make arrangements.

The canteen arranges three meals a day, once in the morning, noon and evening, and is only open for half an hour each time, from the beginning of the day to the beginning of the day, and then to the fourth quarter of noon and the fourth quarter of the unitary hour. After the time limit, you can only go hungry.

Li Xiuping pushed open the door, in addition to the dust in the light, there was also a musty smell, it was obvious that no one had lived here for a long time.

There should be someone coming to clean the room from time to time, so it is not dirty, Li Xiuping simply cleaned up, looked left and right, and thought about where to install a casting furnace and casting table.

Although he can't forge a sword now, the wood knife needs to be forged with fine iron every day. The reason why there was some slackness during this period of time was just because the growth of sword intent had been slow in the past two years, and once the foundation was successfully built in the future, with the growth of sword intent, there could be no more slackness.

Moreover, once the foundation is successfully built, he will also start to forge swords, which is naturally indispensable for casting furnaces and casting tables.

It's just that I am afraid that this matter still needs to be approved by Elder Wan, and then it is inevitable that Xu Bansheng will help, after all, he is only an outer disciple now, and he can't get those things at all, and Xu Bansheng, as the head disciple of the inner sect, will definitely have a way.

After tidying up the room, Li Xiuping waited in front of the bamboo building for a while, and did not wait for someone to send the quilt and living necessities, so he planned to familiarize himself with the alchemy office. Anyway, the door is open, and if someone brings something, it will definitely be put directly into the house.

The whole alchemy place is like a huge "concave" character, and the middle position below is the Danlou, that is, the place of alchemy; On either side are the herb and the canteen; On both sides, there is the residence of the disciples of the alchemy office, and there are some miscellaneous buildings; And the part that is facing the concave Danlou is a cliff, and the clouds cover the mist.

Li Xiuping's residence is in the top corner on the right.

At this moment, most of the disciples were learning alchemy knowledge in the Dan Building, so the entire alchemy place was empty, except for a very few elders and disciples who could meet them, there was only Li Xiuping alone.

Although the entire alchemy place is not small, it can't stand walking for long, so Li Xiuping plans to take a look elsewhere and get more familiar with the entire outer gate.

Out of the alchemy to the east, pavilions, lush forests and bamboos, the people you can meet gradually increase, and the atmosphere is also a lot more lively. Those disciples would salute each other, but after seeing Li Xiuping, they just casually glanced at it and ignored it directly.

Li Xiuping thought at first that these people didn't know him, but later he realized that the clothes on his body were different from those of these Huayang Sect disciples.

Each disciple of the Huayang Sect wore special clothes, although there were slight differences, but they were all the same. Only he, Li Xiuping, was wearing a linen dress and a pair of straw sandals before going up the mountain, which seemed incompatible with these disciples with extraordinary bearing.

However, there are not no people who are dressed similarly to Li Xiuping, or there are very few, and they are all doing some trivial things to clean up, which is obviously the miscellaneous disciples that Xu Bansheng said before, that is, the people with the lowest status in the entire Huayang Sect.

People are divided into three, six, nine and so on, high and low, it is inevitable anywhere, let alone in the world of cultivating immortals where the strong are respected, the strong climb upwards, and the weak go down the slope.

In this way, these disciples naturally disdained to greet a miscellaneous disciple.

In fact, not to mention the miscellaneous disciples, even if they are all disciples of the Huayang Sect, because of the differences between inside and outside, and the differences in what they have learned, there is also a difference between high and low, strong and weak.

At this moment, Li Xiuping stopped and saw many people gathered in front of him, as if they were selling something.

Out of curiosity, Li Xiuping walked up and found that there were not only pills on sale, but also various spiritual weapons, and even cubs of spirit birds and beasts, with a wide variety of types.

Li Xiuping looked at the price again, and couldn't help but feel bitter, because the lowest one also required at least one spirit stone, that is, one hundred gold.

He can be said to be so poor now, all the money in his pocket combined, he can't make up a spirit stone, even if he really likes something, he can't afford it at all.

Li Xiuping simply prepared to turn around and leave, he couldn't afford it anyway, and it was in vain to look at it.

"Yo, this junior brother of the miscellaneous room also wants to buy a spirit treasure?" A voice came from the front, and then two disciples stood in front of Li Xiuping.

Li Xiu saluted and said, "I've seen two senior brothers, I'm a disciple who just arrived at the alchemy today, and Elder Wan hasn't arranged things yet, so I'll come out and take a look." ”

The two disciples were stunned for a moment, looking Li Xiuping up and down, and one of them said with a smile: "It turned out to be the junior brother of the Danfang, and we are from the Sword Pavilion." ”

When they said this, a trace of arrogance obviously flashed on their faces. Obviously, in this outer gate, the status of the Danfang disciples was not as good as the Sword Pavilion disciples.

Li Xiuping, who observed this detail, saluted again.

The two disciples were obviously very satisfied with the young man's actions, and their expressions and attitudes improved a lot, and the one in front of them asked, "Senior brother, is this trying to buy a magic weapon for self-defense?" The mountains are very dangerous, and you should indeed be prepared. ”

Li Xiuping was stunned for a moment, obviously not quite understanding.

As soon as the two of them saw Li Xiuping's expression, they seemed to understand something, and this person continued: "It turns out that the junior brother doesn't know yet. ”

He pulled Li Xiuping to the side, and continued, "Our new disciples of the Huayang Sect need to complete the task. Although the task of the Danfang will be simpler, it will also need to go into the mountain to collect the medicinal materials needed for the task, so new disciples will generally prepare a day in advance to ensure that the task can be completed smoothly. ”

He looked at Li Xiuping and asked, "The senior brother who is responsible for arranging for you didn't tell you?" ”

Li Xiuping shook his head, he really didn't know about this at all, but after thinking about it, he quickly understood something. These things should be told together with the person who sent the quilt and the necessities of life, but he is not in the place where he lives now, and the person who arranged it will not wait for him.

The disciple continued, "Then you'd better prepare some magic weapons for self-defense, and use them for self-defense when the time comes." If you don't know much about magic weapons, you can introduce them to you. ”

Li Xiuping said embarrassedly: "I don't have any money." ”

The two frowned at the same time, originally thinking of blackmailing this kid, but now it seems that they are obviously thinking too much. But they should have thought a long time ago, this kid didn't even have a decent pair of shoes, how could he afford to buy a spirit treasure?

If this kid was a disciple of their Sword Pavilion, they could lend him the money first, and then let him buy his magic weapon, and then return it when they had money in the future. But this kid is from the Danfang, it is easy to lend it out, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get it back in the future, and the Elder Wan of the Danfang is not easy to provoke.

Finally caught a newcomer, and thought that they could make a lot of money, but they never thought that they would meet a poor ghost, so the two could only consider themselves unlucky, and after saying "that junior brother, you ask for more blessings", they walked into the crowd and found a place, took out some things in turn, and put them on sale.

However, the two of them didn't expect that the poor ghost not only did not leave, but walked up to them and said, "Can the two senior brothers lend me a few spiritual treasures?" In the future, I will return it all according to the price. ”

In fact, Li Xiuping was also about to leave and return to the alchemy place, what kind of spiritual treasure magic weapon, he didn't need it, with that firewood knife, not to mention the ordinary fierce beasts in the mountains, even if he encountered a foundation building demon beast, he could protect himself. The reason why I asked this was because among the treasures that these two people took out, there were two that Li Xiuping was particularly interested in, and they were extremely similar to the two magic weapons used by the black-robed man at the beginning.

Li Xiuping didn't know much about magic weapons, but when he fought with the black-robed man before, Li Xiuping paid special attention to a few magic weapons, because those magic weapons were amazingly powerful, and he suffered a lot of losses.

Now that he sees something similar, whether he has the same power or not, Li Xiuping also wants to take it over and study it, so that even if he encounters an enemy stronger than himself in the future, he can have more means to save his life.

If he had money, of course he would buy it directly, but unfortunately he didn't have the money now, so he could only try like this. If the other party is willing to believe him, it is naturally best to find a way to return the money in the future; If the other party is unwilling, then there is no way to do it.

You have to try it to know if it works, and if you ask, you won't lose anything.

The two frowned and looked at the young man in front of them, stunned. They had never encountered such a situation before, they had only heard of borrowing spirit stones, how could anyone directly borrow magic weapons?

There were already a lot of people around, and at this moment, one of them frowned and said, "You are a disciple of the miscellaneous room, what do you want Lingbao to do?" Even if the two senior brothers are willing to lend it to you, you won't have anywhere to use it. ”

Li Xiuping didn't explain anything to the man, just looked at the two disciples who were selling magic weapons, waiting for each other's answers.

One of them pondered for a moment and asked, "What magic weapon do you need?" ”

Li Xiuping's eyes swept around the pile of magic weapons, pretending to randomly pick out two of them, and said, "Just these two pieces, the two senior brothers see how much they are worth, I will definitely return them within half a month." ”

Everyone was stunned.

It's only the beginning of the month now, even if it's the monthly salary, you have to wait until next month, but this kid said that he could pay it back in half a month, so naturally no one would believe it.

Besides, a miscellaneous disciple's monthly income is pitiful, let alone a month, even if it is a year, he may not be able to afford a spiritual treasure, and this guy has two pieces as soon as he opens his mouth, and it is clear that he has borrowed or not returned.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that one of them really threw the two spirit treasures directly to Li Xiuping and said, "I believe in you." ”

All the people present, whether it was Li Xiuping or another disciple, looked incredulous.

"Senior Brother Han, two spiritual treasures, let alone half a month, even if it is a year, he can't afford to pay back a miscellaneous servant disciple." A disciple reminded at this time.

The disciple who threw the spirit treasure to Li Xiuping shook his head and said, "He is not a disciple of the miscellaneous room, but a disciple who has just entered the Dan room. ”

Everyone immediately looked at Li Xiuping.

Who doesn't know the entire outer gate, the strength of the Danfang disciples may not be strong, and it can even be said to be a weaker one, but if you want to say who is the richest in the outer gate, it must be the Danfang disciples.

But even if it is a disciple of the Danfang, even if there are more monthly salaries, it is impossible to come up with money in half a month, and the entire Huayang Sect has never had a precedent for issuing monthly salaries in advance, not to mention that it is only a new disciple who has just started.

Li Xiuping took the two magic weapons and saluted: "Thank you, senior brother, I will still be here in half a month, and I Li Xiuping will definitely give all the spirit stones needed." ”

After Li Xiuping finished speaking, he walked directly towards the alchemy.

"Senior brother, why did you believe him so easily?" After Li Xiuping left, another disciple immediately complained.

Although those two things are not priceless magic weapons, they are not cheap, so they were given away, if that kid really returned them, it would be fine, but if they kept hiding in the alchemy and didn't return them, could they still run to the alchemy to ask for it?

Not to mention that Elder Wan is not easy to deal with, even if they really go to the alchemy, without evidence, who will believe them?

The disciple surnamed Han smiled and said, "Don't worry, we won't lose money this time." ”

Another disciple frowned and said, "How do you say this?" ”

The disciple surnamed Han smiled and asked, "What did he say his name was before?" ”

"Li Xiuping, ah......" another disciple replied casually.

As if he suddenly remembered something, his eyes suddenly widened, his face was unbelievable, and he said in surprise: "Li Xiuping!" Could he be Li Xiuping, a disciple of Mr. Ouye, who was brought back from Qingyang County by the head of the family? ”

The disciple surnamed Han smiled and asked, "Now, do you still think we will lose?" ”

The other disciple shook his head, but instead of speaking, he fell into thought. After a while, the disciple asked, "Senior brother already knew that he was Li Xiuping?" ”

The disciple surnamed Han shook his head and said: "Originally, I didn't dare to be sure, but our Huayang Sect has not had any new disciples in the past two years, and now such a one suddenly appeared, plus the head of the sect brought back another one from Huayang Sect, so I made a bet, but I didn't expect it to be really right." ”

Another disciple was puzzled: "But since he is a disciple of Mr. Ouye, and he was personally brought back to the sect by the head of the sect, he should stay in the inner gate, how could he run to the outer gate?" ”

The disciple surnamed Han shook his head and said, "I don't know, it may have something to do with his lack of spiritual roots." ”

Another disciple frowned and said, "But it is rumored that he not only killed the foundation building demon beast, but also killed a monk who had built the foundation for many years, a person without a spiritual root, can he have such ability?" ”

The disciple surnamed Han didn't answer, but said with a smile: "So I don't think it's strange that he said that he can pay back the money in half a month." What seems impossible to others may be very simple to him. ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his palm and made a flipping motion.
