"Let him in. As soon as Du Xiaoyi reported his name, Ye Qingchen's voice came from the room.

Seeing that Ye Qingchen agreed, Ah Diao opened the door completely and turned sideways to let Du Xiaoyi in.

Although Du Xiaoyi is a child of the Du family, he has never been to Tingfeng Tower, let alone the eighth floor. When he first arrived, he was immediately shocked by the luxury of the room.

"What, have you figured it out?" Ye Qingchen lay on the couch sideways, and the book he was holding was slowly put down.

"The master is on top, and Du Xiaoyi worships him!" As soon as Du Xiaoyifu saw Ye Qingchen, he knelt down with a 'poof' and kowtowed three times in one breath.

"What are you doing here? Did I say that I would be your master?" Ye Qingchen sat up.

"But you didn't say ... Du Xiaoyi's eyebrows frowned, and a trace of loss crossed his eyes. He thought that Ye Qingchen didn't want to teach him alchemy.

"I did say that I would teach you alchemy, but I never said that I would be your master. ”

"But since you taught me alchemy, isn't that my master?"

"If you want to do alchemy, I can teach you, but I won't take you as an apprentice. Because, I don't have the intention of doing so. She was moved by compassion because of Du Xiaoyi's persistent and firm attitude towards alchemy, so she said that she would teach him alchemy.

After hearing this, Du Xiaoyi stood up. secretly thought in his heart, although the person in front of him did not want to accept him as a disciple, but he was a teacher for one day and a teacher for life, and in his mind, she would be his teacher in the future.

"Sister Ye, who is he?" Ah Diao looked at Du Xiaoyi on the side, his heart full of curiosity.

This young man, tall and thin, although he is dressed plainly, his face is yellow and thin, but his bones inadvertently reveal his nobility, as if he is not an ordinary person.

Moreover, he is also very good-looking, but he has lost a little weight.

"He will follow me to learn alchemy for a period of time in the future, and you can also learn together. ”

"Mmmm, okay, I can finally learn alchemy with Sister Ye!"

"Hello, Du Xiaoyi, my name is Diao. Ah Diao showed an innocent smile towards Du Xiaoyi.

This smile, like sunshine, shone into Du Xiaoyi's heart.

He couldn't help but be stunned.

From childhood to adulthood, how long has it been in my memory that no one has smiled so brightly and friendly at him?

Although the girl in front of her has an ordinary appearance, when she laughs, her crooked eyes seem to be filled with the most prosperous starry sky on a clear summer day.

"Hello, Hello, give me more advice in the future. Du Xiaoyi came back to his senses, a blush appeared on his face, scratched his head, and smiled shyly.

"You look so good when you smile!"

"Really?" Du Xiaoyi hung his head and looked at his instep, and the other one didn't know what to do.

"Uh-huh. Diao nodded earnestly.

Du Xiaoyi suddenly thought, since some people think that he looks good when he smiles, then he should smile more in the future.

Looking at the interaction between the two, Ye Qingchen's eyes flashed with a faint sense of relief.

Ah Diao and Du Xiaoyi are both people who have experienced hardships in life. It is also a fortunate thing that they can comfort and encourage each other.

"The Du family's family competition, what day is it?"

"February 1st. ”

Ye Qingchen nodded. There are more than twenty days left.

"What is the level of the people who will participate in the big competition at that time?"

"Those who can participate in the big competition are all capable of refining a pint of pills. Among them, the strongest are Du Zijiao and Du Yutang, their talents are comparable, they have the best alchemy talent in our Du family's generation, and they are already able to refine the top-grade first-grade pills! The elders of the family said that they are very likely to try to refine the top-grade first-grade pills in this competition!"

Du Xiaoyi was a little envious. Du Zijiao is his cousin, Du Yutang is his cousin, not a few years older than him, he can't do it now, they can already refine the top grade pill.

No wonder the elders of the family say that Du Zijiao is very likely to be the future head of the Du family!

"What, envy?"

"Hmm. Du Xiaoyi pursed his lips tightly.

"With me here, are you still afraid of losing to them?"

Du Xiaoyi raised his eyes to look at Ye Qingchen, his mouth was slightly open, as if he suspected that he had heard it wrong.

"You try to refine the Transcendental Pill once, I'll take a look. Ye Qingchen pointed to a room on the left, which she specially used for alchemy. There are the medicine tripods she usually uses for alchemy, and the spirit plants for refining the transcendent pill are also complete.

Du Xiaoyi answered, turned around and went to the alchemy room to alchemy.

In less than half an hour, Du Xiaoyi's alchemy ended in failure.

When he came out, Du Xiaoyi had a depressed face and was in a low mood. I don't know how many times this has failed.

After Ye Qingchen finished reading it, he found out what Du Xiaoyi's problem was. Like her at the beginning, she didn't capture the essence of Cheng Dan.

So she added her experience about Cheng Dan that Elder Gao told her before and her own thoughts, and told Du Xiaoyi again. Diao also listened attentively on the side.

"What I'm telling you is just from experience, each Dan Master will have his own understanding, so you still need to keep trying. ”

After that, Du Xiaoyi tried several more times according to the experience taught by Ye Qingchen. Although he still failed, he always felt that he seemed to be getting closer and closer to Cheng Dan every time.

After staying at Ye Qingchen's side for a long time, Du Xiaoyi returned to Du Mansion with confidence.

Linjiang Pavilion, the top floor of the Tianzi No. 1 room

A feminine girl sits at the dressing table, and the maid is grooming her.

In the bronze mirror, the girl's face is reflected, it is a full goose egg face, the skin can be broken by blowing, the big eyes are blazing, and the slender willow eyebrows are appropriate.

"I heard that Chu Yan was courteous to a woman in Tingfeng Tower?" the girl touched the step on her head and asked casually.

"Back to the words of the Holy Maiden, yes. It is said that Gongzi Chu humiliated the Imperial Thunder Sect Ziling in public for the sake of that woman, and also fell out with Qi Yunfeng. ”

"Hmph~" The girl snorted softly, her voice was delicate and moving, like a yellow warbler coming out of the valley.

"This holy woman is curious, what kind of woman actually entered Chu Yan's eyes?" As she spoke, a sharp color crossed her big beautiful eyes.

Others may not know Chu Yan's true identity, but she knows it very well.

Thunder Domain, but no one is worthy of him!

"I heard from the people present at the time that the woman wore a carved mask that covered most of her appearance, and according to the slave maid, she must have been an ugly and unsalted ugly monster. ”

The girl hooked her lips and looked disdainful, "Some people, with low status, want to fly on the branches as phoenixes, knowing that they don't have this capital, so they can only use some side ways." But they forgot that a grass chicken will always be a grass chicken. ”

"That's it! Those lowly goods, how can they compare to you, the Holy Maiden! You are beautiful and noble, only you are worthy of Prince Chu. ”

"Don't compare that kind of goods with me!" The girl's eyes were cold, and she suddenly got up, and the bronze mirror on the table suddenly fell and shattered.

"Holy Maiden, the slave has said the wrong thing!" the maid knelt down violently, looked frightened, opened her bow from side to side, and slapped herself in the face.

"Get up and go out with me. The girl spoke indifferently and took the lead out of the room.

After Du Xiaoyi left, Ye Qingchen found that the only book he had about the cultivation of the thunder element was almost finished.

was about to call Ah Diao to go out together, but turned his head to find that Ah Diao had fallen asleep at some point.

After finding a blanket to cover Ah Diao, Ye Qingchen went out lightly.

The street is bustling with pedestrians. As the day of the opening of the Eye of Ten Thousand Thunder approached, Ben Thunder City was many times more lively than usual.

It took Ye Qingchen a long time to finally find a shop called Haoyuefang.
