In the old mansion.

Xiao Bin opened his eyes dimly, and what fell into his eyes was the concerned eyes of Lin Jue and Xiao Douzi.

"How are you feeling, Bin?"

"My head hurts...... Xiao Bin remembered, before "Mr. Xiao Chen" called him to help control the fire, but for some reason, before the furnace was finished, he felt that the world was spinning, and then he didn't know anything.

Now this place is not Dan's room, it seems to be the bed in his own room.

"Don't get up, lie down first!" Lin Jue pressed his body down and asked, "It's just a headache?"

Xiao Bin rubbed his head and said, "I'm still a little dizzy, I don't have the strength to do it, by the way, sir, how is the furnace of elixir......?"

"That's just a small thing," Lin Jue patted him gently, "as long as you're okay." ”

Xiao Bin knew that the elixir in Lin Jue's furnace was by no means an ordinary product, and the materials alone contained such an expensive thing as purple baby grass, but he was refining it because of his uselessness, so he couldn't help but bow his head in shame and said, "I'm sorry, sir." ”

"It's not your fault, it's my poor consideration," Lin Jue shook his head and took out a pill, "You take this strong god pill first, and then recuperate, don't think about anything." ”

"No, no, sir!" Although Xiao Bin is still only an apprentice, he has a good brain and good memory, and he is already quite familiar with the pill, the Qiangshen Pill is a five-grade pill, although it is a consumable, but the price is not low, and this one is actually of perfect quality.

"I'm still your boss, you have to listen to me. Lin Jue couldn't help but stuff the Qiangshen Pill into his mouth, and said to Xiaodouzi: "Xiaodouzi, you show him to me, within three hours, you must rest in bed." It is not allowed to get out of bed and walk around, and if you do not have a good rest, add three hours. ”

"Yes. Little Beans nodded obediently.

Looking at Lin Jue's figure walking out of the room, Xiao Bin's eyes were a little moist, his father died early and was sold to traffickers by his stepmother early in the morning. Later, under the persecution of the Green Tiger Gang, he lived an inhuman life, and he couldn't survive and die. Thanks to this little gentleman, he took him in and took him as an apprentice, so that he could be fed, clothed, and more importantly, be an upright person. In his heart, Mr. Xiao Chen is not only a benefactor, an owner, a teacher, but also a family member.

Lin Jue didn't think too much about it, in his opinion. The perfect quality pill for Xiao Bin was simply deserved, it was nothing, and what he was thinking about now was still the problem of the failure of the condensing pill before.

In the past two days, Lin Jue did not rush to refine, but his mind was full of high-grade Dan furnaces and condensation pills, and the previous failure process was constantly repeated in the memory imprint, almost to the point of forgetting to sleep and eat. Fortunately, the little Zhou Tian of the "Mayfly Feather Sutra" can run automatically at any time, so that the cultivation will not be wasted.

Opening your eyes is a pill. Closing his eyes is still an elixir, in this process that is close to not being crazy and not surviving, the large amount of accumulation when he was an intermediate pharmacist before gradually began to be integrated, and a feeling of confidence became stronger and stronger, so today he decided to open the furnace for alchemy again. also handed over Xiaobin to help control the fire.

Xiao Bin's talent is actually good, he has mastered a lot of basic knowledge, and he can already refine the Blood Strengthening Pill alone, but the success rate is poor, and he still needs considerable accumulation and learning. in order to become a full-fledged junior pharmacist. It stands to reason that just simple fire control should not be a problem, but the operation strength of the high-grade Dan furnace and the loss of mind are still far beyond Lin Jue's expectations, Xiao Bin actually couldn't support it and fainted, and finally fell short.

Judging from Xiao Bin's symptoms, it should be that he is overdrawn and must rest for a few days before he can recover, and it seems that he must find another person with considerable mental strength to start refining again.

Lin Jue was thinking in the courtyard, when someone suddenly knocked on the door, and when he opened the door, he saw that it was the willow steward of the Lotus Pond Villa. Lin Jue then remembered that today was the time of the Lotus Pond Cultural Meeting, and he was too obsessed with alchemy in the past two days, and he almost forgot about it.

Steward Liu is a man in his forties, with a slightly rich figure, a mustache, and a pair of bright eyes.

Lin Jue clearly felt that the strength of this steward had reached the level of forging bones, but he did not have any feeling of arrogance, but instead looked very humble and saluted: "In Liushan, Lower Lotus Pond Villa, I have seen Mr. Xiao Chen. The literary meeting has begun, and Mr. Jian Gongzi did not see Mr. to participate, so he ordered me to come and invite me. ”

"Steward Liu is polite, I've been dizzy from reading in the past two days, and I almost forgot about the big thing...... By the way, Miss Eldest Sun and Young Master Xian are here, right?"

Steward Liu nodded: "They are all here, and the son of the Baili family is also there." ”

Lin Jue was a little surprised, this guy didn't think he was ashamed enough last time?

"Is there another important guest?"

"I'm just a subordinate, and a lot of it doesn't know. Steward Liu arched his hand and said, "It's not early, and the gentleman will know when he goes." ”

"Okay, let's go now, and I'll ask Gongzi for guilt when I get back. Lin Yu knew that he was at a loss, if he hadn't agreed before, it would be fine, since he had agreed to participate, he was still late, it was too much to say.

"Sir, please. Steward Liu waved his hand to the side, and the luxuriously decorated carriage immediately rushed over, and the two of them got into the carriage and headed towards the Lotus Pond Villa.

When Lin Jue arrived at the Lotus Pond Villa, the pergola in front of the Lotus Pond was already full of people. As soon as Lin Jue appeared, he attracted the attention of many people, and many people shouted.

"Mr. Xiao Chen is here!"

"It's finally here!"

"It's good now......"

“......”

Seeing the excited appearance of everyone, Lin Jue was a little confused, and while bowing back to those who saluted, he looked for the location of Changsun Xiang and Changsun Xian, and quickly found the two.

The eldest grandson Xiang is still dressed in green clothes today, covered with a veil, carrying a long sword, and has a good temperament. The eldest grandson Xian is a big change of clothes, anti-usual brown clothes and low-key dress, silver-edged white clothes, jade plaque hanging from his waist, holding a folding fan in his hand, looking extraordinary, faintly covering the hundred miles of breath not far away.

Seeing Lin Jue's arrival, Changsun Xiang's eyes flashed slightly, and Changsun Xian laughed, waved his hand and greeted loudly, with no demeanor for a while.

Lin Jue didn't expect that he was not only late, but also became the focus of attention, and was about to walk towards the eldest grandson sister and brother, when he saw Yan Qian, the owner of the villa, actually leave his seat and come in person, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xiao Chen, I finally waited for you, a rare guest." ”

Lin Jue had no choice but to greet him, and saluted: "Young Master Jian, I'm ashamed, I'm late for some reason, please forgive me." ”

"It's good to be here. Yan Jian smiled and led him to the guest seat on the left, "Most of the friends here Mr. Xiao Chen have seen it, let me introduce it to Mr., this is Zhong Kai, the third son of the Zhou family in Futu City, the national capital, and Zhong Ying, the fourth lady." ”

Lin Jue knew that this was the "distinguished guest" that Changsun Xian had said, coming from the national capital, and it must be not small to come to vote, so he immediately said: "In Xia Chenxu, I have seen Gongzi Zhou, Miss Zhou." ”

Zhou Zhongkai is in his twenties, dressed luxuriously, and looks quite handsome, but his eyebrows are full of arrogance; Zhou Zhongying is about the same age as his eldest grandson Xiang, and he also carries a sword behind his back, and his facial features are pretty, but his eyebrows are slightly thick, and his eyebrows are raised, showing a bit of murderous aura.

Zhou Zhongying bowed slightly to Lin Jue and returned the salute, but Zhou Zhongkai didn't even return the salute at all, but sneered: "Such a yellow-mouthed kid is also a celebrity in your Purple Phoenix City's literary circle?"

This sentence can be called a super map cannon, which almost caused public anger, even Yan Jian frowned, and said: "Young Master Kai, this Mr. Xiao Chen is extremely talented, even I am far from ashamed, Gongzi Kai said this, is it that I Yan Jian is not in your eyes?"

"Forgive me, I am a straight-tempered person, although Purple Phoenix City is a small place, there are also a few characters, Jian Gongzi is definitely one, Miss Changsun is one, as for the others, ......" Zhou Zhongkai glanced contemptuously at the people who were glaring angrily, and his disdain was obvious.

This kind of person who thinks he is Long Aotian, Lin Jue didn't bother to pay attention to it at all, let alone make a bird, so he smiled indifferently and walked to the side of Changsun Xiang.

Changsun Xiang nodded at him, and Changsun Xian had already walked up and patted him on the shoulder: "Brother Chen, my Uncle Chen, you are finally here." ”

"It's late. Lin Jue smiled apologetically at the eldest grandson Xiang: "I'm sorry." ”

Eldest Sun Xiang nodded, indicating that it was okay.

Here, Zhou Zhongkai is still pulling hatred: "There is no martial arts in the world, and the capable are the first." Even if I am proud of my talent, at least I have to have this talent. If the son or celebrity is not convinced, you can compare it again. ”

Everyone was silent for a moment, and Lin Jue could see that before he came, this Zhou Zhongkai was overwhelming the crowd and slapped these people in the face. However, Zhou Zhongkai didn't seem to particularly fight against Changsun Xiang, and even the last sentence was about "son or celebrity".

When it came to celebrities, Zhou Zhongkai's eyes fell on Lin Jue, which was clearly a provocation. Lin Yu only couldn't see it, and spoke to Changsun Xian in a low voice.

Zhou Zhongkai saw that the "celebrities" that everyone was looking forward to were so cowardly, he didn't even dare to respond, and he was even more disdainful in his heart.

At this time, Bailixi stood up.

"Master Kai, the poems you wrote before are extremely outstanding, and I sigh to myself. ”

Everyone originally thought that Baili Xi was going to fight for Purple Phoenix City, but they actually softened and couldn't help but be angry.

Zhou Zhongkai knew that Baili Xi was the descendant of the Baili family, and nodded proudly: "This ...... Baili Gongzi's talent is also good. ”

I don't know that Bailixi's tone changed: "However, in my heart, Gongzi Kai is not the first person to admire." The last time I was in the Lotus Pond Poetry Club, I lost to one person, and that was the real oral convincing. ”

Eldest Sun Xiang frowned, this Baili Xi's hand can be described as killing two birds with one stone, not only showing generosity and making up for the last fiasco, but also forcing Lin Yu to the point where he had to face to face with Zhou Zhongkai.

For a while, everyone's eyes fell on Lin Jue.

Zhou Zhongkai snorted coldly: "Oh? (To be continued......)
