In the main hall of the Fu Gong Department, Li Mu and Zheng Yunjie stood opposite each other.

Zheng Yunjie's inquiry can be said to be in Li Mu's arms, and his face showed a little shyness and said: "Don't hide it from Senior Brother Zheng, I went out this time to find a few Juyuan Dan." ”

"Hey, didn't I remember that my junior brother said that he had Juyuan Dan?" Zheng Yunjie wondered.

Li Mu's face showed a little depressed: "Senior brother's qualifications are a little worse, I didn't expect that one Juyuan Dan was not enough, so the first time Huafan failed before it started." ”

Zheng Yunjie let out an "oh" and said happily: "Senior brother, do you need my help to find Juyuan Dan?"

Li Mu waved at him: "I also ask Senior Brother to help me buy two Juyuan Pills, and I am willing to exchange them for a top-level spirit rune of the same value." ”

Zheng Yunjie's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "Originally, Senior Brother wanted to give you two for free, but since you said so, then I will be disrespectful to the high-level spirit runes." Good teacher brother knows, Juyuan Dan is about five hundred spirit stones, you can give me four upper-level spirit runes. ”

The four upper-level spirit runes were only four hundred spirit stones, but the two Juyuan Pills required at least a thousand spirit stones. Although Zheng Yunjie wanted that high-level spirit rune very much, he was not greedy at all, and he gave it away without blinking an eye. This made Li Mu grateful, but also sighed a little at the magnanimity of the talisman master.

However, Li Mu is not the kind of person who takes advantage of others for nothing, he shook his head and said, "Senior brother doesn't have to take care of me, I will exchange ten upper-level spirit runes for your Juyuan Dan." ”

Zheng Yunjie winked at him and said with a smile: "Senior brother misunderstood, if you go to the Alchemy Department to buy Juyuan Dan with the qualification of a talisman master, you can get a price reduction of 20%, so you don't take much advantage of senior brother." ”

Seeing that Li Mu still wanted to say more, he waved his hand and continued: "The extra four hundred spirit stones should be regarded as a gift from the senior brother to you, the junior brother is a gratifying thing, is it a gratifying thing for the junior brother to turn into everything, does the junior brother even have to refuse this kindness of mine?"

Li Mu smiled and said no more.

Zheng Yunjie said again: "I'll go to the Alchemy Department to find Senior Uncle Huo, and ask for two Juyuan Pills for you, do you want to join me?"

Li Mu thought for a while, then smiled and said, "I'm fine, so let's go to the Alchemy Department with my senior brother to have a look." "The last time I went to slay the demons, I was in a hurry, and I forgot to go to the Demon Slaying Department to buy some healing pills for backup, but speaking of which, at that time, my spirit stones were too few, and I ran out after buying a few spirit runes, and I couldn't afford to buy any good pills.

Zheng Yunjie led the way in front, and the two walked towards the alchemy department together.

The Fu Gong Department is about ten miles away from the Alchemy Department, and the two of them have met many disciples of the Transformation Stage along the way, and after seeing the costumes of the two of them, they will generally stop and take the initiative to say hello to Zheng Yunjie, and ask who Li Mu is. After learning that Li Mu was the new talisman master, they were all in awe, and they were a little more enthusiastic about Li Mu than they were about Zheng Yunjie.

Zheng Yunjie stood aside and watched Li Mu deal with those people, feeling a faint loss in his heart, but he was more happy, but there was no jealousy.

Among the main branches of the Xuanming faction, the refining department is the most prosperous, many years ago, when the Fu Gong Department was strong, it was still an independent department, but now the Fu Dao is declining, and the Fu Gong Department has also been merged into the Refining Department. However, the talisman masters of the Fu Gong Department are still the existence of those ordinary disciples who need to work hard. After all, the spirit runes are a big improvement in their own strength.

Among these departments, the people of the Demon Slaying Department have the best attitude towards the Fu Gong Department, and they are also trying their best to maintain the Fu Gong Department. After all, the Demon Slaying Department fights with the demon clan all year round, and the number of spirit runes that need to be consumed is also the largest, so it is naturally more dependent on the Fu Gong Department.

And the people from other departments, such as the Alchemy Department and the Refining Department, faintly overpowered the Fu Department, so naturally they wouldn't have much respect for them. But those Dan Master apprentices and refiner apprentices must also stop and salute when they meet Li Mu and the others. This is the rule of this sect, and no one can disobey it.

The clothes worn by Li Mu and the others today are still the white clothes of the Xuanming Sect's unique mortal disciples, but unlike ordinary disciples, they embroidered an extremely complex combination of sigils with a special material red thread on their left chest. And this rune combination is not in vain, it also has a slight power of spiritual runes, the effect is to clear the heart and eyes, and can enhance the success rate of talisman makers.

The speed of the two walking was not fast, and in addition to dealing with those disciples who saw the ceremony, they also exchanged some experiences in learning talisman making, and they all gained a little and talked very happily.

After walking like this for half an hour, the two arrived at the main building of the Alchemy Department. Li Mu had never been to the Alchemy Department before, so he was very shocked by the architecture here.

The Alchemy Department has existed at the beginning of the establishment of the Xuanming School, and after thousands of years of development, the Alchemy Department has 117 buildings and nearly 10,000 large and small houses. The building of the alchemy department is built around a big tripod in the middle, forming a circle of structural buildings, each building is only a few zhang apart, the eaves are facing each other, the height is different, and the sense of visual impact is very great.

The big tripod in the center of the alchemy department is ten zhang high, with an inner diameter of five zhang and a thickness of one zhang, which is a large-scale magic weapon that the masters of the alchemy department spent nearly a hundred years refining for the alchemy department. This treasure burns all kinds of flames throughout the year, and these flames are separated by partitions in the ding, and each does not offend each other.

So far, the Xuanming Sect has collected dozens of various flames for the Alchemy Department for the people of the Alchemy Department and the Refining Department to use. And when the Alchemy Department and the Refining Department recruit apprentices and assess Dan masters, they all use those flames.

And there is also a hollow Xuantian pillar that can grow freely at the low end of this big ding, this pillar runs through the first, second and third layers of Xuanxiao Peak, and goes deep into the stratum, through the magic circle engraved on the pillar, it attracts the Xuanming faction's unique Xuanyang true fire from the stratum, this fire is extremely powerful, but now among the alchemists and refiners of the Xuanming faction, only two people can barely borrow part of the power of this fire.

After Li Mu and the others came to the periphery of the alchemy department, a disciple who was patrolling stepped forward to salute and led the way for them to enter it. The height of the ring building complex of the Alchemy Department slowly rises from the inside to the outside, but the people who live inside tend to have a higher status. On the edge of the giant ding, there are two small enclosed stone houses, and those two stone houses are the residences of the two Jindan period masters of the alchemy department.

And the residence of Uncle Huo that Zheng Yunjie wanted to visit was one of the buildings closest to Dading.

The Alchemy Department, like the Refining Department, requires a lot of materials in ordinary practice, and more importantly, it also uses a variety of flames in the process. Every alchemist and refiner must master at least one flame in addition to the true fire obtained by self-generated cultivation, so in the process of learning alchemy or alchemy, it is inevitable to deal with flames.

People who have been dealing with flames for a long time will not have much luck. Therefore, the buildings of the Alchemy Department and the Alchemy Department often have to undergo the test of flames, and over time, the wooden buildings here are slowly replaced, replaced by brick and stone structures, and only on the roof will be equipped with some wooden decorations.

After Li Mu entered these buildings, he smelled all kinds of strange smells, including the smell of burnt masonry, the smell of herbs, the fragrance of elixir, and even the strange smell of scorched beast skins...... All kinds of smells floated in the alchemy department, and occasionally thick smoke came out, which made Li Mu sweat a lot for the survival of these alchemists.

The disciple took the two of them to Uncle Huo's residence, and then took his leave. Zheng Yunjie didn't knock on the door, but whispered outside the door: "I don't know if Senior Brother Hu is here, can you come out and see you?"

He turned back to Li Mu and explained, "Senior Brother Hu is Uncle Huo's chief disciple, and I was worried that Uncle Huo was refining pills, so I called Senior Brother Hu out to inquire first. Senior disciple remember, when looking for an alchemist in the future, you must carefully investigate clearly, otherwise if you disturb the alchemist of the alchemist, it will be a big sin. Alchemists are a group of guys with weird tempers, and they can't be offended easily. ”

This Zheng Yunjie is really careful, and he no longer cares about him all the time, Li Mu nodded when he heard this, indicating that he understood. This person can be a friend, and Li Mu has always believed in his own vision.

As soon as Zheng Yunjie's words fell, one of them pushed open the door and walked out with a smile: "Senior Brother Zheng, you are talking bad about our Danshi again." ”

Li Mu raised his eyes and saw that this person was about thirty years old, with a dark complexion, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a Chinese face, which was quite a bit unangry and arrogant. This person is dressed in white, and a small black tripod is embroidered on his left chest, which represents his identity, which is a first-grade Dan master.

Zheng Yunjie smiled and said nothing, pointing at Li Mu and said: "This is my new Fu Master Li Mu Li Senior Brother, and I also told my junior brother like this for the good of all alchemists." ”

Senior Brother Hu looked at Li Mu, Li Mu took a step forward, and said without humility or arrogance: "Below, I have seen Senior Brother Hu." ”

Senior Brother Hu nodded and praised casually: "Senior Brother Li is young, and he will become a great weapon." He asked Zheng Yunjie again: "What is the matter with Senior Brother Zheng and Senior Brother Li coming to my master?"

Zheng Yunjie said about Li Mu's purchase of Juyuan Dan, Senior Brother Hu nodded abruptly and said, "I see, it just so happens that my master is refining a furnace of Juyuan Dan now, can the two of you enter the house and wait for my master to finish alchemy?"

Li Mu and the others claimed to be the same, and followed him into the house.

After Senior Brother Hu brought a pot of tea to the two, he sat down with the two, and the three of them chatted casually about some interesting stories about their respective experiences and the Xuanming School, and they also got along very well.

Time flies very quickly, and hours pass in the blink of an eye.

The pot of spiritual tea brought by Senior Brother Hu had already been drunk, and the three of them gradually couldn't find a topic to talk about, and fell into a rather awkward silence.

Senior Brother Hu's master has not moved for a long time, generally speaking, refining a furnace of Juyuan Dan, whether it succeeds or fails, it only takes two or three hours. Now that nearly four hours have passed, what is going on with him? )
