After a while, the two came to a simple house.

The exterior walls are not made of bricks, but made of yellow clay, and there is a lot of straw mixed inside.

Fu Yun was extremely skeptical, if it rained heavily, would this wall be able to hold up?

"You're living here, huh?"

Chen Xixi lowered his head, as if he had made a mistake, and said softly: "The house in the city is so expensive, it is not easy to rent such a house. ”

Fu Yun hurriedly apologized: "No, no, I said the wrong thing, I'm sorry." Your mother should be hungry after waiting so long, so let's go in quickly. ”

As soon as I entered the house, I saw a beautiful young woman in her early thirties sitting on the edge of the bed with a bamboo basket, and a few yellow chicks drilling around at her feet.

The young woman looked dignified and calm, with delicate skin, but her complexion was a little unhealthy and pale.

Seeing them come in, the young woman hurriedly got up in fright, and Chen Xixi hurriedly stepped forward to help her.

"Xixi, you're back! this is ......"

This place is relatively remote, and Fu Yun removed the cover on his head before entering the door, revealing his true face.

Chen Xixi didn't know much about Xishan City, so naturally he couldn't see his true identity.

"Mother, this is a friend I met in the Alchemist Guild, his name is ...... 'Passerby A'!"

Fu Yun still didn't tell her her real name in the end, so Chen Xixi could only use this name for the time being.

"Mr. Lu, please take a seat. The house is shabby, and it makes you smile. Mrs. Chen said apologetically.

"Auntie, you are too polite. Fu Yun walked to the only square table in the room, put the bowl containing the food on the table, and opened it.

An enticing aroma of the dish immediately wafted away.

Chen Xixi hurriedly introduced: "Mother, these are all meals that Lu Gongzi bought from Fuguifang. ”

Mrs. Chen was surprised: "It's one of the most well-known restaurants in the city! These dishes must be very expensive, right?"

Fu Yun said with a smile: "Auntie, don't think about this! Although food is expensive, it has a price after all, and a person's health is priceless." If you eat healthy food and add delicious food, then even the most expensive dishes are actually very cheap. ”

When he said this, Mrs. Chen couldn't help but be relieved.

The three of them sat down and savored the sumptuous lunch, talking and laughing.

I have to say that after all, it is the craftsmanship of an old restaurant, and even Fu Yun feels the gap.

After eating, the three of them were a little overwhelmed, but they were all unsatisfied.

Cleaning up the dining table with Chen Xixi, Fu Yun asked about Mrs. Chen's condition by the way, and learned that she had actually been frail and sickly, but it had suddenly become more serious in the past six months, and she had been feeling weak and unable to lift her spirits.

Fu Yun listened and felt that this didn't look like a disease at all, it seemed to be just a sign of low immunity.

However, he is not very clear about the pathological system of this world, and he does not make presumptuous assertions.

Seeing that the time was almost up, they said goodbye to Mrs. Chen, and Fu Yun covered his face again and rushed towards the Alchemist Guild.

Entering the guild and coming to the door of the No. 10 alchemy room, he saw that Zhao Yan and Sun Zhong were already waiting here.

There were also a group of idlers standing around, including Zhou Ting, watching the excitement.

Seeing Fu Yun and Chen Xixi coming in, an apprentice beside Sun Zhong immediately stepped forward and saluted, "The two of you are here to participate in the alchemy practice assessment, right?"

"Hmm. Fu Yun nodded.

"Please come and pay the assessment fee, thirty lower grade spirit stones, thank you. ”

Fu Yun's face twitched.

He can understand that the exam charges a registration fee, but it is a bit darker to ask for so many spirit stones!

Seeing the look on his face, apprentices have long been commonplace, and this expression is basically seen every time he charges a fee.

"Master Lu, in fact, this cost is not expensive at all. The alchemy practice assessment requires candidates to refine a first-grade elixir on the spot, and then two sets of alchemy materials will be issued to each candidate, these materials will be six spirit stones according to the guild's internal preferential price, and renting a first-grade alchemy room is three spirit stones for an hour, and the assessment requires three senior first-grade alchemists to serve as examiners, and the labor cost per person is five spirit stones, plus the assessment organization, manpower allocation, site preparation, etc. ”

The apprentice's big call had obviously been said countless times, without pause, and with great fluency.

"Okay. ”

Although Fu Yun was a little depressed, it was naturally impossible to give up the exam because of only thirty spirit stones.

After counting the spirit stones, he carefully put them away, and the apprentice immediately took out a piece of paper and read out the assessment rules for alchemy practice.

"In the practice of alchemy, the prescribed first-grade elixir must be refined within an hour, and the quality must reach the excellent level......" The apprentice finished reading the book and looked at Fu Yun, "...... The above are all the assessment rules for alchemy practice. Lu Gongzi, are you sure you want to participate?"

Fu Yun nodded: "Hmm!"

The apprentice then pushed the door open: "Please come in." ”

Fu Yun said hello to Zhao Yan and Sun Zhong and entered the room.

Unlike the previous assessment room, which was similar to a classroom, this alchemy room was a long room.

Not far from the door, there was an alchemy furnace nearly half a person high.

At the back end of the room, a long table and three chairs are placed at a large distance in the middle, similar to the layout of a job interview.

However, all three chairs were empty, and the examiner had not yet arrived.

Fu Yun saw the alchemy furnace of this world for the first time, and took advantage of his free time to observe it carefully.

The entire body of the alchemy furnace is dark green, and the metal surface engraved with fine patterns has a slight shimmer.

The top of the stove is evenly lined with more than a dozen finger-sized holes, which look like they are supposed to be used for heat dissipation.

On the side facing him, there was a large hole in the upper part of the piece, which led directly to the cavity in the middle of the alchemy furnace, which should be used to put the materials.

Below the feeding hole, there is a perfect circular gap, and the surface is covered with a layer of transparent material like glass, and when you look inside, you can clearly see the whole picture of the entire middle cavity of the alchemy furnace.

Directly below the stove, there is an irregular oval gap. Fu Yun took a closer look, and there seemed to be some unburned charred black matter left inside.

"This is the fire hole, when refining the alchemy, the spiritual fire will be put into it from here, and then the spirit stone will be put in to keep burning uninterruptedly. Chen Xixi explained on the side.

"Spirit stones?" Fu Yun was shocked, "It's too extravagant to use spirit stones as fuel!"

"The spiritual fire is transformed by the spiritual energy, so naturally it can only use the spiritual stone. Chen Xixi suddenly remembered something, and looked at him with wide eyes, "Don't you even know how to have a spiritual fire?"

"No, it won't. Fu Yun smiled and replied honestly.

"Then, then how will you refine the pill for a while?!" Chen Xixi felt that he was about to collapse, "I knew that this was the case, just now I stopped you from paying the assessment fee, thirty spirit stones, how many meals can you eat in a big meal like noon......"

Fu Yun was speechless for a while.

Thirty spirit stones can buy a spiritual weapon, why can you only think of eating?

Oh no, her immortal veins have not awakened, so she shouldn't have a chance to see the spirit weapon.

Sure enough, poverty limits one's imagination!
