A white mist rose from the Dan furnace.

Qin Wen sat cross-legged in front of the Dan furnace, controlling the fire with his vitality, and Zuo Yi, Qin Xiao, and Xiaoxi stood next to him, all watching Qin Wen refining the pill intently, while Shuang'er was sitting at a wooden table in the cave mixing various elixirs.

This is already the fourth day that Qin Wen has returned to Yinxia Mountain, and in the past few days, he has been refining in the Dan room in the cave, refining two furnaces of Xuan-level lower-grade pills, as well as a furnace of Transformation Pills, and in the furnace are Xuan-level middle-grade pills that he has refined.

Extinguishing the earth fire, Qin Wen let out a sigh of relief, and then sat cross-legged and waited for the Dan to come out, when a voice came from outside: "Zuo worship, the Great Elder invites Young Master Wen to the tent." ”

Zuo Yi saw that Qin Wen had already turned off the fire at this time, so he asked, "Young Master Qin, when will this furnace of elixir be baked?"

Qin Wen thought for a while and said, "There is time for half a pillar of incense, and when the pill is out, I will go to the Great Elder." ”

After preparing the jade bottle, he put away more than a dozen Xuan-level medium-grade pills from the Dan furnace, and then Qin Wen arranged for Qin Xiao to put the frost and haode elixir into the furnace for refining, this is a furnace of Xuan-level low-grade pills, and Qin Xiao can now refine them alone.

With the steward who came outside to spread the word, he came to the big tent in the middle of the valley, and saw five elders sitting on the main seat talking to the four strange monks next to him, one of them Qin Wen knew, it was the road steward in the city lord's mansion, he sat near the tent door, saw Qin Wen come in, smiled and nodded at him.

At this time, the other three monks also glanced up at Qin Wen, and a monk with a grim face said with a slightly unhappy expression: "Qin Da, the city lord and Xiang Gongzi also reminded us when they came, don't expose our identities too much in the Qin family, just have your five brothers know, we have been carrying a hat before we entered the valley just now." ”

The Great Elder knew that he saw Qin Wen enter the tent, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "Old team Zheng, this is the son of our clan, and he is also a Dan Master, Qin Wen, when the city lord and Xiang Gongzi discussed that day, he was also present, and after this matter, he will go to Xiang Gongzi's mansion to be a Dan master to worship." ”

As soon as they heard that they were going to Xiang Gongzi's mansion to be worshipped as a Danshi, the eyes of the three of them eased a lot, and the monk with a grim face nodded and said, "Since it is an offering to Xiang Gongzi's mansion, let's sit down and discuss it together." ”

At this time, the Great Elder also introduced the four of them to Qin Wen, the road steward had already seen it in the City Lord's Mansion, and the monk with a cold face was the original Great Elder when he was in the barracks, called Gao Zhang, and the Great Elder's exercises were all taught by him personally, and now he has broken through the realm of Xuanshi and made offerings in the City Lord's Mansion, so the Great Elder has great respect for him.

The other two are also monks in the Xuanshi realm, and they are also cultivated from the city guards of Luming City, Qin Wen understands in his heart that only in this way will the monks brought out by the city lord himself, Guan Shuo will rest assured that they will carry out this mission.

Gao Zhang said at this time: "Qin Da, all of us here are the old people around the city lord, this time you and the Du family's affairs, the city lord will never sit idly by, he used to have a jihua, but he has to wait until the counselor is brought back to the capital, before he can attack the Du family, now it seems that the counselor will not return to Beijing in a short time, but now there happens to be Xiang Gongzi here, this is also an opportunity to start." After speaking, he glanced at Qin Wen with a little meaning.

Listening to Gao Zhang's words at this time, the Great Elder should have known some of Xiang Gongzi's details, so he asked with a little caution: "Old Team Zheng, what is the origin of this Xiang Gongzi?"

Gao Zhang shook his head and said: "Qin Da, now it is estimated that only the city lord and counselor know the origin of Xiang Gongzi in Luming City, and I just guessed a little, but now I can't say it, wait until this child in your clan goes to make offerings, and then you will naturally understand." ”

As soon as Gao Zhang's words came out, everyone in the tent couldn't help but be stunned, but they all immediately showed a slightly thoughtful look, although Gao Zhang didn't say the specific origin, except for Qin Wen, all of them were veterans who had worked hard in the city guards for many years, and they could guess something from the words.

Gao Zhang took a sip of the tea in front of him at this time and said: "Okay, let's not mention other things for the time being, this time we came to discuss the matter of dealing with the Du family's offerings, and the city lord had already arranged it when we came, we can only set up an ambush between the Qin family's manor and Yinxia Mountain, and we must not appear in the Du family's manor, Qin Da, do you have any jihua now?"

At this time, the eldest elder personally refilled the tea for Gao Zhang and said: "Old team Zheng, I have also discussed with the four brothers in the past few days, and we are ready to return to the manor in two batches, the first batch will move the old and young women and children back first, and there will be two Xuan masters to help escort it. ”

"The second group is the strong men in our clan, by our five brothers plus the old bald, the three of you just leave a Xuan Master to escort you, if the people of the Du family have not appeared after we meet in the manor, we will have to wronged the three of us to set up an ambush in the manor and live for a few more days. ”

Gao Zhang's cold face at this time showed a slight smile and said: "You kid carried me on the battlefield back then, and I also saved you, and what do you do with these polite words that are not wronged, okay, since you said so, I think it's okay, let's do it according to this jihua." ”

At this time, the Great Elder asked Qin Wen again: "Ah Wen, you and Zuo Xian should also prepare, the first batch will return to the manor early tomorrow morning, which batch will you follow? ”

Qin Wen knew that the Great Elder asked him to come, just to ask him to arrange the time for the Dan Room to leave, and thought about it: "Today, the Xuan-level inferior medicinal materials that Ah Xiao just entered the furnace should be able to be baked the day after tomorrow, so let's follow the second batch, and after I go back, let them clean up first." ”

The Great Elder nodded, and then said to the Second Elder: "Second Brother, in a while, you and Third Brother will arrange for the first batch of clansmen to return to the manor, and let them pack up the things they want to bring, this time we can't delay too long on the road, and we must all enter the manor before dark." ”

After arranging things, Qin Wen, the second elder, and the third elder came out of the tent, and the remaining three elders accompanied the monks of the Xuanshi realm brought by Gao Zhang to talk casually.

Before returning to the Dan room, Qin Wen first came to the tent where Qin Lu lived, and handed the Xuan-level low-grade pills he had refined to Qin Lu and said: "The second elder has already arranged to return to the manor, I will follow the second batch of Zuo Worship to go back, you should be able to return to the manor tomorrow, these pills are specially refined for you, and it shouldn't be a problem to break through the middle level of the Xuantu in two years, now you will leave the affairs in my courtyard to the Bai clan and the other two maids to take care of, and you can cultivate with peace of mind." ”

Although Qin Lu also knew that Qin Wen was now a Dan Master, but in his heart, the elixir was still extremely precious, so he took the jade bottle and looked at it carefully, and then handed it back to Qin Wen with a trembling twist: "Young Master, you just have this heart for the old slave, this elixir is too valuable, let the old slave eat it, it will be bad, you still exchange him for some elixir, and in the future, you will also refine some elixir for yourself, or change some magic weapons or something, the old slave can see the current young master, and it will be worth it in this life." ”

Qin Wen pressed his hand holding the jade bottle and said, "I refine the pill myself, don't you still want to see me become my own son in the future, then cultivate to the Xuanshi stage and live for a few hundred more years, and then I will wait for you to help me take care of the family business." ”

Qin Lu had no choice but to accept the jade bottle, and said with trembling lips: "Okay, okay, when the time comes, I must live a few more years, waiting to hold the little master." ”

Qin Wen knew that Qin Lu was indeed general, and if he did not have the support of the pill, it was estimated that he would be able to cultivate to the middle level of the Xuantu disciple at the highest, but with the assistance of the pill, Qin Wen was absolutely sure that he would break through the Xuanshi stage and prolong his life for a few hundred years.

Then he said to Qin Lu: "I have now promised a family in the capital that I am going to go to him to be a Danshi worship, and I am going to take Shuang'er away, and the Bai family will let her help you take care of some housework at home, if there is anything, you can find the Great Elder, I and the elders have already agreed." ”

Although Qin Lu was a little reluctant to bring up the young master by himself, he also understood Qin Wen's idea of going out to travel, so he nodded and said, "I will take care of the affairs at home, young master, you also have to take care of yourself outside." ”

Qin Wen chatted with him for a while before he walked out of the tent and came to the Dan room in the cave.

Seeing that Qin Xiao was still refining the pill in front of the Dan furnace, he told Zuo Yi about the arrangement of the Great Elder, and Zuo Yi said happily after hearing this: "This is just a temporary alchemy place, the things in the medicine valley are in my storage bag before, and as soon as the pill refined by Qin Xiao comes out, we can leave at any time." ”

At this time, he took out a black spiritual grass from the storage bag and said: "Young Master Qin, this is an elixir picked by Xiaoxi in the back mountain a few days ago, I looked through all the elixir illustrated books, and I didn't find out what kind of medicinal material this is, although the aura of this medicinal material is not very strong, but the medicinal properties are still quite domineering, you see what kind of elixir." ”

Qin Wen took the spirit grass, first looked at the black rhizome, and then saw that the leaves on it were slightly lavender, which should be caused by the fact that the color had not deepened, and he put it in front of his nose and smelled it, and there was a faint fishy smell.

The name of a medicine suddenly flashed in his mind, and he said to Zuo Yi: "This elixir is called Mosi, which can refine a Xuan-level mid-grade elixir, or the main medicine, and the refined elixir is called Mosisan." ”

"Mo Sisan?" Zuo Yi couldn't help but shake his head in confusion and said, "I haven't heard of it, does it have the effect of increasing vitality?"

Qin Wen shook his head and said, "No, this elixir is usually a poison pill used by Dan masters for self-defense. ”
