Chinese Suzhou City, Suzhou Daofu City, one of the four counties of Guhexi, is the second Xiongcheng in the northwest of the Tang Dynasty, before the Dunhuang City was built, Suzhou City is the first barrier against the countries of the Western Regions.

"There is a spring under the city",

The legend of "its water is like wine", the local wine is famous in the northwest, and even the merchants of Mengyuan, the Western Regions and the Western Tibet come here every year to purchase a large number of wines, so it has led to the local economic prosperity.

Suzhou City and Dunhuang are separated by more than 900 miles, the climate and natural conditions are much better, the snow close to Suzhou City is far less thick than Dunhuang City, part of the official road to the sun, the snow has begun to melt, revealing the gray-black mud.

Under these conditions, the carriage with the base of the climbing plough used by Li Mao and his family was not easy to drive, and they had to stop and replace the two smooth wooden poles under the car with formal wheels.

In the evening of that day, Li Mao and his entourage came to a stop in front of a forest, Li Mao took small bolts and small pillars to unload the goods on the snow, and then used wooden piers to jack up the carriage, unloaded the base of the climbing plow under the carriage, replaced it with two wheels, and then removed the wooden piers and moved the goods back into the carriage.

This kind of work seems complicated, but in fact it is very simple, with the help of Li Mao, the small bolt and the small pillar quickly replaced the wheels of the two carriages.

The hardwood bases that had been replaced were already half worn out, and instead of discarding them directly, Li Mao split them, and it was not so easy to find some firewood to light a fire on the snowfield.

Soon the bonfire was lit, and Mrs. Xu and Xu Ai also took out the pot and began to prepare dinner. A few days ago, I couldn't collect enough dry firewood on the snowfield, so I didn't have to think about cooking, I could only make a small fire every day to burn some hot water, everyone lived on dry food, and today it was rare that firewood was enough, so I naturally had to make some hot food to eat.

Soon a pot of spicy rice with spicy beef and mutton jerky, vermicelli, dried radish, fried soybeans and naan cakes as the main ingredients is ready, fragrant and hot, and it is absolutely happy to be able to eat such a hot meal on the reckless snowfield!

Everyone sat around the campfire, and the two carriages were side by side to block the cold wind from the northwest, which allowed the bonfire to burn for a longer time.

Xu Ai held the bowl and asked, "Dad, you should be able to go to Suzhou City tomorrow, right?" Xu Jiuye nodded and said, "Well, we should be able to go to Suzhou City tomorrow, we will rest for a day, and continue to rush the day after tomorrow." Xu Jiuye turned his head to Li Mao again and said: "Virtuous nephew, whether the official chi you said really exists, I have been running outside for so many years, and I can be regarded as well-informed, but the official chi you said is really unheard of." Li Mao just finished his bowl of spicy rice, looked up and said, "Uncle Jiu, don't worry, the monk's ability is far beyond the comprehension of mortals, Jingyunguan said that if there is such a thing, there will definitely be it, and we will be able to see the real thing tomorrow." It's not early today, let's all rest, you each keep watch for an hour and a half on the small plugs and small pillars, and I will keep watch for three hours in the second half of the night. "People who don't keep vigil climb into the carriage, which is specially made, and the mezzanine is stuffed with insulation, and it is not sad to wear cotton clothes and fur fur and wrap them in blankets.

The little bolt sits around the campfire with a large knife on guard, and there are usually no bandits on such cold nights, mainly to prevent black bears or hungry wolves who are awakened from hibernation.

Li Mao quickly climbed into the carriage, and in the second half of the night he had to keep watch alone for three hours, and now he needed enough rest.

There was no word all night, and the two carriages of the Xu family drove smoothly into Suzhou City in the middle of the day, Suzhou City is not as majestic as Dunhuang City, but it is also a majestic city, as early as the Han Empire, the city has been expanded and strengthened many times, and it is also a siege of ten miles.

Because there is no military city and urn city, the actual scale of Suzhou City is almost the same as Dunhuang City, and the products of Suzhou City are much richer than Dunhuang City, and the population is close to one million, which is a prosperous metropolis.

Xiao Zhuzi had come to Suzhou City with Xu Jiuye before, so he was familiar with the way, and soon found an inn in Suzhou City, everyone settled down, washed up and lunched, Li Mao went out to find Jingyunguan's station in Suzhou City, and Xu Jiuye went to visit friends in the city.

Xuanji Mountain, inside Xuanji Cave. Xuanjizi was guarding beside a huge Dan furnace, walking around a little restlessly, at this time the furnace fire had stabilized, and from time to time there would be puffs of white smoke coming out of the furnace, that was because the elixir essence in the furnace was too rich, and the essence that escaped out, if it could not escape, the pressure in the alchemy furnace would burst if it was too great.

Xuanjizi went up and smelled it at least a hundred times, and every time he smelled it, he shook his head, this aroma still did not reach the concentration of Cheng Dan, and the probability of failure to collect Dan at this time was very high.

He had successfully refined two defilement pills before, but it was refined separately in two times, and this time there were indeed many uncontrollable factors in refining three defilement pills at a time.

Although Xuanjizi has done his best to resolve it, the result is still not optimistic, Xuanjizi is full of sadness, the refining failure offended Xuanyuan Tomb, he doesn't care, but thinking that Tu Shan Ziyi will be particularly disappointed, Xuanjizi feels unbearable.

It can't be dragged on like this forever, the longer it drags on, the lower the probability of Cheng Dan, and extraordinary means must be used.

Xuanjizi hurriedly took out a jade plaque and wrote a few words on it, then put away the jade plaque, sat on the futon in front of the Dan furnace, and slowly breathed, trying to calm down his impatient mood.

A quarter of an hour later, Tianhuo came to the Xuanji Cave, and when he saw that the Dan furnace had not been extinguished, and that the master was meditating and pranayama, he knew that it was not smooth to go to the Filthy Dan refining process, so he sat down on the futon on the side and followed the meditation and pranayama.

After another quarter of an hour, Xuanjizi stopped pranayama, the anxiety in his eyes had completely disappeared, his spirit returned to his body, and the heavenly fire next to him also woke up.

Tianhuo hurriedly got up and said, "Master, what's the urgency of you recruiting me?" Xuanjizi said, "Sit down, listen to Master talk to you slowly." Tianhuo sat down according to his words, and Xuanjizi said: "Tianhuo, Master helped your Uncle Ziyi refine the defilement pill this time, but it didn't go well, I tried countless methods, but I couldn't condense the pill into the pill for a long time, it's been three days now, if it can't be condensed into the pill again, this furnace of elixir will be all invalid." Tianhuo also frowned and said, "If all of them are invalidated, won't it be a big loss?" Xuanjizi smiled bitterly and said: "Not only is the loss huge, the Xuanji faction can't come up with so many elixirs for a hundred years, and the key is that we will offend a force that is too strong for us to provoke." Tianhuo said, "Master, then what can I do?" Xuan Jizi said, "I judge that the reason why it can't be condensed into a pill is because of the lack of aura, or the level of aura. Tianhuo suddenly realized: "Master wants me to export some Heavenly Dao power to see if I can help to condense the Filthy Pill." Xuan Jizi said: "Yes, this is the only way I can think of at the moment, the power of the Heavenly Dao is difficult to find in the world, and only you can help." Tianhuo nodded and said, "Okay Master, but the power of the Heavenly Dao that I can release is very small, I don't know if I can help you." Xuan Jizi said: "It's okay, I've calculated many times, I only need a trace of Heavenly Dao power, I can try to tie the Dan." Tianhuo said, "Okay, then I will mobilize the power of the Heavenly Dao, Master, please prepare." Tianhuo closed his eyes, and one hundred and nine golden dragons quickly appeared beside him, and twelve layers of qi sea appeared above his head, and above the sea of qi there was a small silver stone platform, which was the cloud platform formed after Tianhuo built the foundation, also known as the path to heaven.

After Tianhuo released the manifestation of all realms, he slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes also faintly revealed silver light, and Tianhuo moved a set of finger prints from the dantian part all the way up to the heart part, and then gently punched on his heart.

I saw that Tianhuo's body began to emit silver light, and the brightest place was where his heart was, and a small sword phantom the size of a toothpick pierced his heart and rushed out of his body.

I only heard the sound of Tianhuo spitting blood, wrapping the little sword, the blood bead quickly faded the blood color, and turned into a large drop of transparent liquid, wrapping the little sword, the little sword shook violently, and the droplets wrapped around the small sword began to steam, and a trace of water vapor floated up.

Xuanjizi hurriedly stepped forward and pointed at the floating water vapor, guiding the water vapor to float towards the Dan furnace.

As soon as that almost invisible trace of water vapor floated on the Dan furnace, the Dan furnace, which had been quiet for a long time, burst out in an instant, and the flames in the Dan furnace immediately flourished, and the already somewhat solidified Dan liquid seemed to be instantly injected with vitality and churned again.

Without waiting for all the liquid on the little sword to evaporate, Xuan Jizi sent the little sword back into Tianhuo's body with a gentle palm wind, and then he stretched out his hands and firmly grasped the two copper ears of the alchemy furnace, and urged his true yuan power with all his might, striving to condense the pill liquid in the alchemy furnace.

Tianhuo's body shook, and all the illusions outside his body were withdrawn from his body, and he sat cross-legged for a while, opened his eyes, and looked a little aggrieved.

He wiped the blood stains from the corners of his mouth, walked behind Xuanjizi, and through the furnace eye, he could see that the elixir in the alchemy furnace had been reduced by half at this time, and began to condense into three pools of medicinal liquid.

Xuanjizi roared, inputting more True Yuan power, and the Santan medicinal liquid flew directly inside the furnace, and began to rotate in the Dan furnace, the speed became faster and faster, and there was almost no shadow visible.

The Dan furnace began to emit the sound of wind and thunder, and the three furnace eyes continued to erupt white smoke, and a Dan fragrance filled the entire cave, Tianhuo couldn't help but take a deep breath, only to feel that a medicinal fragrance entered the lungs like a liquid, and quickly integrated into the hundred veins and ran the whole body, and the vitality that Tianhuo had just lost immediately recovered.

At this time, the Dan furnace became more and more tyrannical, if it wasn't for Xuanjizi dragging the Dan furnace to death, I am afraid that the Dan furnace would have broken through the air and flew away, and at this time, the wind and thunder in the Dan furnace had disappeared and turned into a crackling sound.

With a bang, a burst of white smoke rose from the Dan furnace, and the eyes of the three furnaces looked white, and it was not clear to see the scene inside the alchemy furnace, and the alchemy furnace also returned to calm.

Xuan Jizi slowly let go of the hands holding the alchemy furnace, turned back to Tianhuo and said, "Disciple, I didn't expect that just by adding a wisp of heavenly power, the medicinal properties of this pill would be so violent, and the teacher almost couldn't control it. Tianhuo saw blood flowing from the corners of Xuanjizi's mouth, and it seemed that the backlash of the Dan furnace just now also injured Xuanjizi.

Tianhuo hurriedly asked, "Master, it doesn't matter to you, right?" Xuanjizi said: "It's not a big deal, it's finally Ning Dan's success, and it's worthy of Ziyi." Xuanjizi was a little impatient to open the alchemy furnace, but at this time, Miss Qinghua suddenly appeared next to her, startling Xuanjizi and Tianhuo.

Xuanjizi hurriedly asked, "Senior Sister Qinghua, what are you doing?" Qinghua Hall was even more immortal at this time, although there was still one last step before she could become a real instrument spirit, but the coercion exuded from her body had already surpassed that of Xuanji Sword.

Qinghua looked at the alchemy furnace curiously and said, "I can feel that there is a trace of spirituality in this furnace of pills, if you follow the original method to collect the pills, you may fail." Xuan Jizi's eyes were full of essence, and he asked, "Could it be that my Dan Dao has broken through again, and refining the six-grade pill can have the spirituality of more than seven-grade pills." Qinghua glanced at Xuanjizi and said, "Don't dream, I guess it's because this furnace of elixir borrowed the power of the Heavenly Dao of Heavenly Fire that it will cause a change." Xuanjizi smiled awkwardly and said, "Senior sister, can't you save me some face in front of Tianhuo?" Qinghua thought for a while and said: "The elixir has a spirit similar to a demon spirit, and instinctively knows how to escape, I estimate that they will escape when you open the furnace." Xuanjizi said: "Now that there are multiple formations arranged in the Xuanji Cave, can they still escape?" Qinghua said: "What if they dive down along the cracks in the ground, when they run out of spirituality, they will be silent in a crack in the ground, and they will never be discovered." What will you do to give someone else an errand when the time comes?" Xuanjizi thought about it, this possibility is really not small, and immediately humbly asked for advice: "Senior sister, since you have said it, you must have thought of a way, you have sold it, tell me quickly." Qinghua said: "You release the eldest brother and the second brother, and the three of us will help you keep an eye on the Dirty Pill, so that they can't escape." Xuanjizi patted her head and said, "Oh, how can I forget about you three great gods?" Xuanjizi raised her hand and hurriedly summoned Xuanji Sword and Yujing Bottle, and Yujing Bottle said reluctantly: "Xuanjizi, why did you think of calling us out?" Xuanjizi hurriedly said that there was a spirituality in going to the Filthy Pill, which immediately aroused the interest of Xuanji Sword and Yujing Bottle, Xuanji Jian said: "It turns out that there is such a magical thing! Okay, the three of us will help you watch these three naughty pills, you can open the furnace." Qinghua said: "Slow! Don't be careless, let's open the heavenly fire, the three of us will focus on it, and Xuanjizi will prevent accidents." ”

"Hmm!" everyone agreed. Tianhuo walked in front of the alchemy furnace, this alchemy furnace was much smaller than Tianhuo's refining furnace, and the furnace lid could only reach the neck of Tianhuo.

Tianhuo stepped forward and did not directly lift the furnace lid with his hands, but also held the two furnace ears and entered the power of the true yuan.

.. Xuanjizi and the three spirits nodded one after another, Tianhuo's approach was very correct, if he went up directly to pick up the furnace lid, it was very likely that the elixir would escape under the cover of the furnace lid and Tianhuo's body.

And now Tianhuo is using the technique of ascending to the top, slowly raising the furnace lid, so as not to interfere with the sight of the four people. The lid of the furnace was slowly raised and floated in the air under the promotion technique of heavenly fire.

Suddenly, a large amount of dense white gas quickly poured out from the furnace ding, instantly covering the upper body of the alchemy furnace and the heavenly fire.

Xuanjizi and the other four did not panic, but observed from a distance, and did not step forward to help Tianhuo.

Tianhuo fell into the white qi, and took a slight breath, concluding that these white mist were not only harmless, but also the essence of plants and trees, which was definitely a great supplement for the monk.

Tianhuo was immediately unkind, and took a hard breath, and immediately inhaled a large amount of white mist like a long whale absorbing water, and those white mist were slightly transformed in the lungs, and they became medicinal power that could be absorbed by the human body.

Tianhuo only inhaled a few times, and those white mist began to thin out, and he could gradually see Tianhuo's figure and alchemy furnace clearly.

At this time, a very shrill sound came from the alchemy furnace, conveying an extremely angry emotion, and then a white light and shadow flew out from the Dan furnace and quickly flew towards the dark cave.

The jade net bottle closest to him immediately got up to intercept it, the white light and shadow were very fast, but it didn't have much attack power, after being stopped by the jade net bottle, it was subdued in just a few clicks and was included in the body of the jade net bottle.

However, after the first defilement pill was subdued, the alchemy furnace fell silent, and no second and third pills flew out.

Xuan Jizi and the other four still did not move, at this time, the heavenly fire also sank down, and as soon as the ascension technique turned, the top cover floating in the air turned over, and immediately two white lights flew out of the furnace lid and flew in the other two directions.

Qinghua Palace's palace sleeves flicked and directly rolled up the one that flew towards her, but Xuanji Sword slashed down honestly and unceremoniously, so frightened that the white light turned in the air, ready to continue to escape.

The Xuanji Sword Spirit controlled the Xuanji Sword to chase after it as fast as lightning, and stabbed the Filthy Pill with a sword, but Xuanjizi's face did not change, but Tianhuo couldn't help but scream.

Although the pill can be broken and used, the effect is definitely not as good as when it is complete, looking at the power of the Xuanji Sword, this pill must be in a catastrophe!

But to the surprise of Tianhuo, the sword of Xuanji Sword was about to be split to the Filthy Pill, and the sword style of the Xuanji Sword turned and changed

"Thorn" for

"Sticky", firmly sucked the defilement pill on the tip of the sword, and successfully captured it. Xuanjizi took out a jade bottle with a smile, and put three defilement pills from the hands of Xuanji Sword Spirit and the three of them into the jade bottle, and now he can finally give Xuanyuan Tomb an explanation.

Tianhuo just looked at the inside of the Dan furnace at this time, and there was some residue at the bottom of the Dan furnace, and couldn't help asking: "Master, there are still some residues in this Dan furnace, do you need to clean it?" Xuan Jizi looked at the jade bottle in his hand and was very satisfied, and said casually: "Take it and clean it, and then you can use it for alchemy." Tianhuo responded, and was just about to put the alchemy furnace into the storage bag and take it out to clean, when Xuanjizi suddenly shouted: "No, how can there be dregs?" At this time, a white light flew out from the residue in the alchemy furnace, several times faster than the previous three decontamination pills.

But the last one was too simple to think about, only to see a water sleeve in front of him blocking the way, the sword net in the sky flew up to seal other angles, and a powerful suction came from behind, directly fixing it in the air.

Xuanjizi took out the fourth Pill and threw it into the bottle, and then Xuanjizi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Senior Sister Qinghua, who said that my alchemy skills have not been refined? The raw materials of the three pills have allowed me to practice four of them, although the grade of the Pills has not been improved, but the number has increased, doesn't it also explain the problem?" Qinghua flew to another passage not far away, which was where the Qinghua Hall was placed, and his voice floated slowly: "I think the extra Pill is also the influence of the power of the Heavenly Dao, and it has nothing to do with your alchemy skills." ”

"Uh!" Xuanjizi was blocked and didn't know how to fight back, so she had to look at Xuanji Sword Spirit and Jade Pure Bottle Spirit, and the two machine spirits didn't want to take care of Xuanjizi, and flew back into the storage bag with a whoosh.

Tianhuo asked: "Master, now that there is an extra pill to go to the Dirty Pill, can it be sold for a good price?" Xuanjizi smiled all over his face, and said with a teachable expression: "The previous three were promised to be refined by others, we were just greedy for some raw materials, and there was nothing to make money, but this extra one must be sold at a good price, let Weishi think about how to use it to make the business of the Xuanji Chamber of Commerce go to a higher level." Tianhuo's eyes flashed, and he was very interested in Master's proposal.

On the second day, in front of the gate of Xuanji Mountain. Tu Shan Ziyi returned to the costume he had when he came, and only Xuanji Zi and Tianhuo came to see him off, because of Tu Shan Ziyi's strong opposition, the other Xuanji disciples did not follow him to see him off.

Tu Shan Ziyi clasped his fists and said: "Brother Xuanji, I have been in your faction for half a month, and now that my little sister's task has been completed, continue to rush back to Xuanyuan's tomb, you don't have to send me." Xuanjizi said regretfully: "Ziyi, when you leave, my brother feels empty in my heart, I have been busy with alchemy these days, and I don't have time to get together with you, it's a pity." Tu Shan's face under the purple curtain turned red, for fear that Xuanjizi would say something more excessive, so he hurriedly said: "Brother Xuanji, it's not too early, I still have a lot of way to go, so I'll leave first." Xuanjizi hurriedly said, "Slow!" Tu Shan Ziyi thought that Xuanjizi was going to be a scoundrel again, and his tone became cold and said, "I don't know what else Brother Xuanji has to explain." Xuanjizi took out a jade plaque and handed it to Tu Shan Ziyi and said: "Ziyi, Xuanyuan Tomb and Xuanji Mountain are hundreds of thousands of miles apart, you and I are inconvenient to communicate, if you still need to refine the Filthy Pill, next time you can contact me in advance, and the refining cost is one hundred top-grade spirit stones." Tu Shan Ziyi took the jade plate and said, "Okay, this jade card can support such a long communication?" Xuan Jizi nodded and said: "Text information within sixteen characters can be conveyed, and no more will be used." Tu Shan Ziyi solemnly put away the jade card, turned around and swept away after saying goodbye.

Tianhuo looked at Tu Shan's figure in the distance and said, "Master, if you like Aunt Ziyi, you should say it, so that you are thousands of miles away, when can you develop one step." Xuanjizi took out another jade plaque and laughed: "With this thing, are you afraid that you won't be able to communicate?" Tianhuo felt a black line in his head and said, "Okay, it turns out that you worked hard to refine this thing to pick up girls!" Xuanjizi shook his hand and slapped Tianhuo on the back of the head and said: "As long as you talk a lot, go to cultivate, go to Taiyi Academy, if you can't win the first place in admission, don't come back to see me!" Tianhuo looked at the east firmly, clenched his fists and said: "From the day I won the foundation building conference, I swore that no matter what competition I participated in in the future, I could only be the first!" Ah Li of Xuanyuan Tomb is also working hard for the first place in the top 100 of the Demon Clan's Jindan Period, because she is eager to get a place to go to Taiyi Academy for exchange, only in this way can she go to the territory of the human race and have the opportunity to meet a very important person.

On the official road from Chencang to Chang'an, four black-scaled horses are running at high speed with a Yunfu car, and Li Mao and the five members of the Xu family are sitting in a special carriage, enjoying the convenience of traveling thousands of miles a day.

Although they have been doing official travel for more than ten days, the five members of the Xu family are still very excited, as if they are in a dream, it turns out that there is such a fast mode of transportation in time.

And Li Mao went to lean quietly on the carriage, his heart had already run to Jinling City in the distance, planning how to find the familiar and strange second and third brothers in his memory after settling down.

In Chang'an City, on the star worship platform, Jingyun watched Master Yuan Tiangang watch the stars at night and sighed: "Why does the heavens favor the Song Kingdom so much, and the Sancai Xingjun actually gradually moved to Jinling City, it's a pity Chinese!"
