Outside the heavy pavilion of the Alchemy Department, Li Mu asked several disciples of the Alchemy Department in a row, and after figuring out He Qiu's residence, he walked in one direction. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The air was filled with all kinds of strange smells, and Li Mu held his breath all the way and stood in front of a four-story stone building.

There was a gray-clothed congenital stage disciple standing outside the stone building, and when he saw Li Mu in white, he took the initiative to step forward and said, "Disciple Shi Yuan, dare to ask Uncle Shi why he is here?"

"It turned out to be Shishi's nephew. Li Mu smiled at him and said, "As soon as I told Uncle He Qiu and Uncle He for me, I said that Li Mu came to ask for a meeting." ”

Ishihara Qian smiled and said, "Uncle Li is polite, please wait a while, and I will go and pass it on to you." ”

Li Mu nodded to him and watched him turn around and enter this rather magnificent stone building.

Not long after, Li Mu heard the footsteps of three people in his ears. One of them was Ishihara, who had just entered, and the other one he was also somewhat familiar with, presumably He Qiu. I just don't know who the last footsteps sounded brisk.

A moment later, He Qiu took the lead and walked out of the stone building with the two of them.

Li Mu looked at it intently, He Qiu's complexion seemed to have improved compared to when he was in Yedu before, but his face was still a little sickly. Beside him, in addition to Ishihara, who had just entered, there was also a beautiful woman in her twenties and a gentle appearance.

Li Mu didn't take a closer look, he said to He Qiu, "The disciple has seen Uncle He, how is Uncle He lately?"

There was some concern in his expression, and for He Qiu, Li Mu had always had a deep sense of gratitude in his heart.

He Qiu's face was a little happy, he stepped forward and smiled at Li Mu: "Senior nephew Li has just returned from that Beiquan Mountain? You have already broken through the early stage of mortal transformation? Very good, very good." ”

Li Mu had a look on his face that wanted to stop talking, and said, "Actually, I heard some news, so I came here directly to find my uncle, thinking-"

The smile on He Qiu's face fell, and then he patted him on the shoulder as if he didn't care, and said, "You come with me, let's go to the house." ”

After He Qiu said this, he turned around and walked towards the stone building. The woman beside him glanced at Li Mu with a slightly curious eye, and also followed He Qiu into the stone building.

Li Mu smiled at that Shi Yuan, and kept up with He Qiu and the others without hurrying.

The first floor of the stone building is very empty, and after stepping through the gate, there is a long entrance.

He Qiu and the woman walked in front, leading Li Mu up a row of elaborately built stone stairs, and then stopped outside a room on the second floor.

After entering the stone building, Li Mu found that the whole building presented a loop-like structure, with a large open space in the middle, surrounded by two sides, and there were many houses in between, and the doors of each house were closed. Some of the houses seemed to be populated, with faint smoke emitting from them.

Once you enter the building, the strange smell of the outside world disappears completely.

He Qiu opened the door and walked in first, and Li Mu and the woman followed.

It was a small room, with a stone table and several stone benches in the center. At the very back of the room, there was a huge coral tree-like thing with small tripods of various shapes and sizes hanging on it. Li Mu roughly estimated that there were more than 20 of these small tripods.

In each small tripod, there are flames of different colors. But standing in this room, there is no feeling of heat at all.

He Qiu led Li Mu to sit down at the stone table, but the woman walked to the coral tree without saying a word, took out a set of tea sets from the storage bag, and looked at her posture, it seemed that she wanted to make tea for Li Mu and the others to drink.

He Qiu looked at Li Mu, who was a little curious, pointed at the woman and said lightly: "Her name is Chu Yuting, you also have to call Uncle Chu, she is--the Taoist companion that your ancestor chose for me." ”

When the woman heard He Qiu's introduction, she turned around and smiled at Li Mu, looking very gentle and amiable.

Li Mu's heart moved, when He Qiu introduced this woman, he obviously didn't show any happy expression, and his words were also very exquisite-"The Taoist companion that your ancestor chose for me", he should not welcome the existence of this woman, but because of his father's order, he had to accept it.

Li Mu showed a respectful expression on his face, stood up and bowed to the woman, "Disciple Li Mu, I have seen Uncle Chu. ”

"No need to be polite. Chu Yuting spoke, her voice was very good, tactful and low, and approachable.

After finishing speaking, Chu Yuting carefully placed the teapot she took out on top of a small tripod on the coral tree, and then slapped the storage bag again, and took out something like a wine jar from it.

The jar is filled with water.

Chu Yuting slowly poured the water into the small teapot. During this process, Li Mu noticed that He Qiu's expression seemed to become a little ugly.

Although Li Mu's knowledge is shallow, he can also feel that the flames in those small tripods are not ordinary, but all kinds of different fires.

It is estimated that in the eyes of a Dan master like He Qiu, this woman is completely violent and heavenly creatures. Or is the reason why this woman did this just to give He Qiu some face?

A gentle temperament doesn't mean that she doesn't have a temper, maybe this woman wants to use this method to arouse He Qiu's attention a little?

Li Mu had a guess in his heart, but the look on his face was as usual, he didn't want to beat around the bush, and asked directly: "I heard that I will ...... in three days."

He Qiu didn't seem to be willing to talk about this topic directly, waved his hand to interrupt his words, and said with a smile: "Don't mention this in advance, Senior Nephew Li will tell me about your experience of going to Beiquan Mountain first." ”

Li Mu had no choice but to roughly tell He Qiu what he had seen in his experience, and when he mentioned the Beiquan Golden Peak, He Qiu's face did not show any different color, obviously knowing its existence.

After speaking, when Li Mu told the matter of the secret realm, He Qiucai's expression changed, and he asked, "Are you sure that Senior Nephew Li raised this matter by the Great Demon King himself?"

"That's true, that Feng Qingyu directly told the news in front of the monks sent by all the sects in the Xuanying Realm, and Jiang Lanjian, the sword master of the Seven Swords Sect, was also by his side at that time, and after hearing this news, that Jiang Lanjian didn't seem to show any abnormality. ”

"Jiang Lanjian!" He Qiu exclaimed, causing the woman who was concentrating on making tea to turn around and glare at him fiercely.

He Qiu didn't pay any attention to this beautiful woman, but asked anxiously, "How could Jiang Lanjian go to Beiquan Mountain?

Li Mu smiled bitterly: "Where do I know what Jiang Lan Sword, it's just that the Sword Sect monks seem to be headed by him, and Feng Qingyu also respects him very much, that Jiang Lan Sword has been watching the battle in mid-air since it appeared, and the five demon kings of Beiquan Mountain led by Feng Qingyu are all staring at him tightly, presumably he is indeed the Jiang Lan Sword of the Sword Sect." ”

"Jiang Lanjian went to Beiquan Mountain, and it has not yet caused the siege of the Demon King, this matter is not simple, and the matter of the secret realm, I am afraid that it will not be long before this Xuanying realm will usher in turmoil. ”

He Qiu muttered to himself, and the expression on his face changed. After a while, he came back to his senses, his face showed a little apologetic, and said to Li Mu: "These things are too amazing, so I have lost my temper, Master Li will continue to talk about it." ”

Li Mu gave a general description of his encounter with the disciples of the Sword Sect and the demon cultivators, and He Qiu was full of praise, and there was a faint sense of pride in his eyes - at the beginning, he had the wisdom to know people and introduced this excellent disciple into the door!

Of course, Su Yutian, who was a cultivator of the Sword Sect and mastered the art of the sword, naturally aroused He Qiu's admiration.

Speaking of the final exchange meeting, Li Mu reached out and patted the storage bag, took out the spirit grass obtained from the Great Demon King and the three Yuan Demons, put it on the table and said, "This is a few spirit grass that I got by accident on this trip, and it is useless for me to take it." As an alchemist, Uncle He must know their origin and can also play their role, so please accept it. ”

He Qiu saw the spirit grass on the table, his eyes sparkled, and he didn't respond to Li Mu for a while.

At this moment, the tea brewed by Chu Yuting seemed to be better, and a fragrance filled the room. She gently lifted the small teapot and walked to the stone table.

After placing the teapot on the table, Chu Yuting took out three delicate purple sand teacups and poured half a cup of tea into each cup with a beautiful movement. Then she sat on a stone bench and said softly, "Senior nephew Li, please use tea." ”

This is clearly a hostess's style, Uncle Shi has a life, Li Mu does not dare to disobey. He thanked him, raised the teacup with his right hand, covered his mouth with his left hand, and gently took a sip of the hot tea.

At the entrance of the tea soup, Li Mu's eyes lit up. Just took a sip like this, and his mouth was full of fragrant fragrance at this time. And although the fragrance of this tea is strong, the taste is light but not greasy, bitter but not astringent, under the fine tasting, there seems to be a trace of sweetness, its taste is rich and charming, it is really Li Mu's only taste in this life.

What surprised him the most was that after the tea was entered, it turned into a pure Yuan Force and went straight into Li Mu's second dantian.

Although this Yuan Force is not much, it is very clearly sensed by Li Mu. This should be the legendary spiritual tea, Li Mu had heard of it before, but he didn't expect to taste it today.

In his opinion, Yuan Li is second, and the key is that the taste of this tea is very pleasant, and people can't help but want to drink it quickly.

Chu Yuting, who had a gentle temperament, sat opposite him, and picked up the teacup like him, and took a sip lightly - He Qiu carefully held a pitch-black spirit grass in his hand, and he didn't seem to feel the fragrance of this tea.

Chu Yuting smiled and said to Li Mu: "Senior Brother Li, although you drink your tea, don't pay attention to him." ”

Li Mu put the teacup on the stone table, gently tapped the side of the teacup with a finger, and said with a faint smile: "Uncle Chu has a heart, the tea needs to be tasted carefully, don't worry." ”

Chu Yuting's eyes flashed, and she was a little curious in her heart - she had always been full of confidence in the "three-flavor spiritual heart tea" she had concocted by herself. This tea not only tastes excellent and has a strong appeal, but the Yuan Li contained in it is also very precious.

Ordinary disciples in the mortal stage couldn't beg for a cup, but this Li Mu looked unmoved?

If he drank all the tea in the middle of his cultivation, the increased Yuan Power would be enough for him to practice penance for a month. Li Mu's attitude like this immediately aroused Chu Yuting's interest.

It's just that Chu Yuting didn't know that Li Mu was pregnant with the Yuan Spirit Bead, and what he practiced was the Nine Days of Immortal Rank Exercises, and the demand for Yuan Li was far less intense than she imagined. And he deliberately restrained his appetite, with such a delicious tea, he just tasted it and masturbated.

At this moment, He Qiu said to Li Mu with a bit of solemnity on his face: "Senior nephew Li, put away these spirit grasses, I can't collect them." ”

Li Mu thought that he had seen the value of these spirit grasses, so he refused to accept them easily, so he smiled and said, "Haven't you asked Uncle He about the names and effects of these spirit grasses?"

He Qiu nodded and said to him: "There are a total of four spirit grasses, one of which is the most precious, and the other three are also unattainable. ”

He Qiu picked up a small purple grass and continued: "This is the Bauhinia Poison Devouring Flower, which grows one leaf in a hundred years and blooms one flower in a thousand years. Master Li's nephew's plant has five leaves and half of the flowers are open, which means that it has at least 500 years of fire, which can be regarded as very precious. ”

"The Poison Devouring Flower is one of the main ingredients of several healing elixirs, and if it is taken when the body is highly poisonous, it can also have a strong antidote effect - the poison I am talking about here refers to the poison of some demon cultivators, not ordinary poisons. Like Senior Brother Li, who has this five-hundred-year-old poison-devouring flower, at least when he encounters the poison of the barbarian demon, he doesn't have to be afraid, and he can solve it after taking one of its leaves. ”

"In addition," He Qiu pointed to the other three spirit grasses and said, "These three are Black Heart Grass, Red Flame Flower, and Sedum Moon, all of which are specialties of Jinyuan Island, and they are all the main ingredients of several precious pills, and they are all very valuable." ”

After a pause, He Qiu said again: "Compared to this poison devouring flower, the other three spirit grasses are not very useful to Senior Brother Li, I can buy them for 10,000 spirit stones." You put away the poison devouring flower, I can't ask for it. ”

Li Mu shook his head and said: "Those three spirit grasses can be regarded as a little bit of the nephew's heart, and the uncle doesn't have to talk about any spirit stones." As for this poison-devouring flower, I would like to ask Uncle Shi, what part of it is mainly taken for alchemy? flowers and leaves or stems?"

"The flowers are the top, the leaves are the second, and the stems are the bottom. The five-hundred-year-old poison-devouring flower can be used as medicine all over the body, and it can be alchemy. ”

Seeing that He Qiu didn't refuse, Li Mu's face showed a little joy, and he continued to ask, "If I take one of its leaves, will this leaf lose its effectiveness?"

He Qiu seemed to understand his plan, and his eyes turned and said: "As long as it is properly maintained, its medicinal power will not dissipate for at least a few decades - if Senior Nephew Li is willing to believe me, he will give me this flower, and after I use it to refine a furnace of 'Pure Heart Pill', how about dividing the pill with you?"

That's exactly what I mean. Li Mu also stopped refusing and agreed with He Qiu's opinion.

He Qiu patted the storage bag and took out two jade boxes from it. Immediately, his right hand moved slightly, releasing a faint Yuan Force and cutting off a leaf of the Poison Devouring Flower. He put the leaves into the slightly smaller jade box, and then put the small jade box into the large jade box.

After doing this, He Qiu handed the big jade box to Li Mu and advised: "Senior Brother Li put it away, keep it carefully, remember not to open it at will, and take it out if necessary." Swallow directly when using, do not chew. ”

Li Mu solemnly put away the jade box and nodded to He Qiu.

He Qiu took out a pale yellow jade box separately and included the poison devouring flower in it.

At this time, he seemed to notice that there was a cup of fragrant spiritual tea on the stone table in front of him. After turning his head to look at the smiling Chu Yuting, he picked up the teacup and drank the spiritual tea, and at the end he even praised "good tea".

He Qiu has always liked to eat and drink, he likes the taste of this cup of tea, but he doesn't care who made this tea, he just really praises it.

Chu Yuting on the side smiled slightly, obviously extremely happy.

Li Mu picked up the teacup again and took a sip lightly, and continued to ask, "Regarding the matter in the next three days, I don't know if there is anything that the disciple can help with? ”

He Qiu said lightly: "Senior Nephew Li doesn't know, the dispute between my He clan and the Mo clan has been going on for a long time, and this Dan Dao competition is inevitable. Moreover, the Dan Dao dispute is beyond the intervention of others, so I understand the kindness of Senior Brother Li, and if you have time in three days, you can come and watch the battle. Don't worry, I can't lose, and even if I do, it doesn't matter. This competition is just a battle of Mo Yun's will. ”

Although Li Mu was curious about the dispute between the He clan and the Mo clan, he didn't want to ask rashly, he just asked tentatively: "But I heard that the loser will lose the title of Dan Master and will never be able to set foot in the Dan Dao?"

He Qiu said with a smile: "The gambling contract is indeed the case, but it is not without a place to turn around - my father Lingmiao Zhenren and Mo Yun's father Hundred Poisons Zhenren have the 'Xuanyang Order' in their hands, and they only need to use the Xuanyang Order once to cancel this gambling contract." As for the lost Danshi qualification, it is not a big deal to obtain it through another assessment. ”

"Xuanyang Order?" Li Mu had never heard of such a thing in the Xuanming Sect, which could actually cancel the gambling contract between the two sides.

Seeing the look of doubt in his eyes, He Qiu explained: "In fact, the function of the Xuanyang Order is to forcibly order people who have Dan Dao talent in their own sect to become Dan masters, and they must hand over a certain amount of pills to the sect every month - not to cancel the gambling contract. ”

"My father Ling Miao is the deacon in charge of the fire of the Alchemy Department, and Mo Yun's father is the deacon in charge of the Ding, respectively in charge of the different fires of the Alchemy Department and all the furnace tripods, except for the real person in charge, the two of them are the people in charge of the Alchemy Department, so they have the authority of the Xuanyang Order. ”

Li Mu's eyes showed a sudden look, and the worry in his heart suddenly disappeared, and he asked cautiously: "So Mo Yun wants to find some face from Uncle Shi in this competition?"

He Qiu smiled casually: "Actually, he just wants to humiliate me, Senior Nephew Li doesn't have to care." Winning or losing doesn't matter to me, the tradition of this alchemy department is like this, and it is impossible for the He family and the Mo family to be in harmony. ”

Chu Yuting on the side was also extremely calm, as if she didn't care about what the two were talking about, just drinking tea quietly.

Li Mu was silent for a moment, he looked at the small tripod hanging on the coral tree and the strange fire burning in it, and suddenly remembered something - (to be continued.) )
