"Nonsense, he's talking nonsense!" Steward Liu stood up tremblingly, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and cried and said: "Big steward, you have to be the master of the villain! Obviously, this guy saw that he wanted to make money, and took out a few Neidan at will, just like taking these ten eagle corpses. Seeing that I refuse, they still shout and kill me, No, the blood of the villain's hand is proof!"

The chief steward looked at Ning Caichen: "You two hold each other's words, and it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, but no matter what, young man, you are too heavy." ”

"Do you want to protect your shortcomings, do you want to help your relatives?" Ning Caichen put Neidan back into the package, his muscles tensed, and he looked at this old man with white hair and hair warily.

"I'm already in the position of assistant now, otherwise I would have taken you indiscriminately. Do you think that with your unpenetrating skills, you will not be able to escape from me?"

Xiao Qian's voice like a great enemy then came into Ning Caichen's ears: "Scholar, this old man's strength is unfathomable, I can't beat him." ”

"When did the master become so worthless? Ning Caichen sighed in his heart.

"Sir, it's very simple to prove who is black and who is white, as long as you make sure that there is no poison in the eagle corpse. ”

Hearing this, a trace of ecstasy appeared on Steward Liu's face, and he looked at Ning Caichen as if he was looking at a fool. He personally tested it with a silver needle, and there was no problem with the eagle corpse.

The chief steward's eyes turned, taking in the looks of both of them. Turning around, step by step to the carriage where the eagle corpses were placed, he carefully observed the corpses, but his heart was a little shocked.

It can be seen that these goshawks were indeed poisoned to death, and this poison is very powerful, even if he is careless with his cultivation, there is only one way to die.

"How did you get such a ferocious poison, young man?" the chief steward quietly walked away from the carriage and looked at Ning Caichen.

Because of this sentence, Steward Liu staggered back as if he had been struck by lightning, his eyes were frightened, as if he had been knocked from heaven to hell in an instant: "How is it possible, how can it be poisonous? ”

The chief steward glared at him sharply: "Greedy waste, you deserve to be beaten and vomit blood, hurry up and come over to apologize to others." ”

Steward Liu's blood surged, a strong sense of humiliation came to his heart, and his face turned red: "Steward, now I have suffered a loss." ”

"It's because you've done something wrong. The chief steward looked at him indifferently: "The country has national laws, and the family has family rules, as long as I am still the chief steward of the Situ family, no one is allowed to break the family rules." ”

Steward Liu glared at Ning Caichen hatefully, gritted his teeth and said, "I am the closest steward to the master. ”

"I am the chief steward that your old lady relies on the most. Seeing that he was reluctant to move, but threatened himself, the chief steward said coldly.

Steward Liu poured a mouthful of blood into his throat, spurted it out, rolled his eyes, and fell to the ground on his back.

Glancing at him indifferently, Ning Caichen didn't care if he was really faint or fake, and said to the chief steward: "Originally, I thought you would protect your shortcomings, but this situation often appears in the small talk book...... By the way, the poison was concocted by a friend of mine. ”

asked Steward Liu to be carried down, and buried the corpse of a carriage and eagle on the spot, and the chief steward spoke: "Actually, my own identity is a person in the rivers and lakes, and it is only because of the grace of the old lady of the Sima family that I am willing to do this big steward." On weekdays, I am also at the old lady's place, and I don't have any friendship with them, so naturally I can't talk about protecting my shortcomings. ”

Ning Caichen admired his uprightness, and felt a friendship in his heart: "Dare to ask the old gentleman's name." ”

"What a name? The chief steward shook his head: "My real name is Yun Fusheng, and I am only a small role in the rivers and lakes, so it is not worth mentioning." ”

In fact, the name of Yun Fusheng resounded in Jiangsu and Zhejiang ten years ago, and he was a well-known master in the rivers and lakes. But Ning Caichen, who had just entered the rivers and lakes, didn't know this, and when he saw him say this, he believed it: "The rivers and lakes are vast, and there are so many masters who are not heard of in the world." ”

Yun Fusheng chuckled and glanced at the sun that was about to set: "It's about to get dark, this place is ten times more dangerous after dark, young man, are you willing to walk with us?"

"I don't dare to ask for it. Ning Caichen smiled and arched his hand.

At the moment, Ning Caichen integrated into the caravan, followed Yun Fusheng's side, and listened to him tell about various doorways in the rivers and lakes, and it was pleasant to have anecdotes.

And just when he was in a good mood, there was a person who looked at him and almost wanted to burst into flames, and all kinds of intrigues and tricks were surging in his heart, trying to get back the humiliation he had suffered today.

It is undeniable that Ning Caichen himself was slowed down by the caravan, and seeing that the sky was getting dark, the city gate was nowhere to be seen.

Thinking that he would not be able to enter the city before the city gates closed today, Yun Fusheng simply ordered the tent to be set up after dark and continue to walk forward early tomorrow morning.

Ning Caichen accompanied the people in the caravan to have dinner, so he temporarily borrowed a tent, stood up, got in, and called: "Come out, Xiaoqian, let's start cultivating." ”

For some reason, Xiao Qian suddenly felt that Ning Caichen's words were very ambiguous, and her heart trembled slightly, revealing her figure.

Ning Caichen took out all the forty-one Inner Dans, and with the bright moonlight and the millilight emitted by the Inner Dan, he could barely see her face clearly: "Xiao Qian, do you know what realm you can see at night? This state of not being able to see anything without light is too uncomfortable." ”

"Arriving at the innate can. Xiaoqian said with a smile: "Just like me now, even if I don't have this light, I can still see you clearly." ”

Ning Caichen nodded, divided the inner pill in front of him into two parts, and pushed one of them in front of her: "Take these inner pills first, I promised you before." ”

Xiao Qian hesitated for a moment: "Actually, these Nedan are more important to you now. ”

"Don't worry, I'll have enough of these, don't forget that I still have some high-quality ginseng at home, and I can get some treasures when I participate in the Ginseng Festival in a few days." Ning Caichen pulled the remaining Neidan and said with a smile.

Xiao Qian thought about it for a while, and felt that if she could break through to the late innate stage with these inner pills, she might be able to play a vital role in their training: "Okay, now I'll refine the inner pills and help you step into the realm of third-rate masters." ”

Saying that, Xiao Qian picked up a first-class realm inner pill, and ran the Huaimu Yin Silkworm Gong, in a rustling sound of eating mulberry leaves, the pores of her index fingers of both hands were fully opened, and a strong suction force was generated in each pore, which quickly pulled out the energy in the inner pill in her hand.

Not long after, a first-class master realm of the Inner Dan was devoured, and at the same time, the brilliance in Xiao Qian's hand flowed, and a milky white spar gradually turned from virtual to real, appearing in her palm......

Twenty-one Inner Dans of different grades were refined into nine pebble-sized spirit crystals by her in half an hour. After resting for a while, devouring a spirit crystal to recover the consumed mana, Xiao Qian used her skills again and refined Ning Caichen's twenty inner pills into eight spars that could be absorbed.

Feeling the last trace of mana in the dantian exhausted, Xiao Qian subconsciously wanted to take out a piece from her spirit crystal to replenish her mana, but suddenly saw Ning Caichen hand over a spar.

"Use mine, yours try to stay and break the border. ”

Xiao Qian licked her dry lips, obediently took the spirit crystal in her hand, absorbing the abundant and pure power in the spirit crystal: "You start to break the pulse, I will protect the Dharma for you." ”

Ning Caichen didn't talk nonsense, holding a piece of spiritual crystal in each hand, frantically devouring the spiritual power in it, instilling it into the dantian along the meridians.

After a stick of incense, the two spirit crystals turned into fly ashes and sprinkled from Ning Caichen's fingertips. He quickly picked up two more and continued to devour them frantically.

Just as he devoured six spars one after another, the resentful Steward Liu took five slaves and six wooden barrels and came to the tent lightly.

"Steward Liu, you have to think clearly, the scholar and the chief steward inside have a good conversation, and they are already called friends during the day......" Holding the barrel full of spirits, a servant said with a trembling body.

"What can I do if I am called a friend? He Yun Fusheng will never kill me because of a dead outsider!" Steward Liu shouted in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense, if you don't want to be expelled from the mansion, you will honestly obey the arrangement." ”

The servant shrunk his neck, not daring to make any more comments, and followed Steward Liu to pour the liquor from the barrel on top of the tent.

An inexplicable wind blew out from inside the tent, blowing open the cloth door of the tent, and a beautiful woman in white walked out slowly, cold as the moon, pure as frost, but with a stunning and unearthly beauty.

Steward Liu and the five servants were stunned, and with a clang, a wooden barrel slipped from the slaves' hands and smashed on Steward Liu's toes. Suddenly, Steward Liu hugged his feet and screamed in pain, howling miserably and kicking the slave to the ground.

"Splashing spirits and trying to set us on fire, you are so bold!" Xiao Qian looked at Steward Liu with a cold gaze.

Steward Liu endured the pain in his toes: "Who are you, how could you come out of Ning Caichen's tent in the middle of the night?"

"There's nothing to do with you here, put the barrels down and go back to rest. Xiao Qian used her mana to confuse the five slaves, causing them to put down the barrels in a daze and turn around and walk towards their respective tents.

"Hexology...... You are a youkai in human form. Steward Liu, who saw this scene with his own eyes, was so frightened that he trembled, retreated again and again, and accidentally fell to the ground.

The corners of Xiao Qian's mouth were slightly hooked, and with a move of her handle, the six wooden barrels on the ground flew up in the air, surrounding Steward Liu. With another wave of his hand, the wooden barrel tilted, and the wine inside fell wildly, wetting Steward Liu's body.

"If you want to set fire to someone, you have to be prepared to be burned to death. Xiao Qian flicked her fingers, and a flickering ghost fire appeared out of thin air, shooting at the wet Steward Liu.
