Chapter 220: Déjà vu
Two days later, the three major families, including the Wang family, reached an agreement to jointly expel the Crystal Palace monks from Sanjia Island, and at the same time, Bi Zhenren and other three real people declared on behalf of the Northern Alliance that the Crystal Palace was not welcome in the Northern Alliance's sphere of influence, and demanded that the Crystal Palace monks immediately return to their own sect.
Although the Crystal Palace's team of thirty-six people, which was originally composed of all monks in the late stage of hemolysis, was not weak, and there was no definite evidence to prove that the Crystal Palace monks had anything to do with the trade fair, they did not dare to violate the agreement of the three island forging pill real people, although these monks repeatedly emphasized that the matter of the trade fair had nothing to do with the Crystal Palace, and pulled out the tough sign of the Crystal Palace, but now the monks of Sanjia Island have obviously determined that the Crystal Palace monks are plotting against Sanjia Island, and the Crystal Palace monks have no choice but to withdraw from Sanjia Island and return to their own sect.
After the Crystal Palace retreated, Wang Yishan, the eldest son of the Wang family, left with him, who is said to have been recommended to a real person in the Crystal Palace as a personal disciple.
The situation on Sanjiadao changed, on the surface, the Wang family was suppressed, and the Northern Alliance declared its suzerainty status, but the Crystal Palace finally planted a chess piece within the Northern Alliance through the Wang family, and extended its own power into the Northern Alliance's sphere of influence in a different way.
At the same time, although the strength of the Wang family is slightly inferior to that of the Zhang family, the Zhang family wants to occupy the absolute position of Sanjiadao with the support of the Northern League, but it is not easy, so the Li family has become the object of the Zhang family, and at the same time, the Northern League has also made a commitment to the Li family.
The situation in the three cities was changing, but it did not affect Lu Ping in the slightest as he was preparing to refine the Seven-Step Pattern Pill.
Just when Lu Ping was about to retreat for alchemy, he received another invitation from Li Maolin.
When Lu Ping came to the Li family's reception room again, in addition to Li Maolin's father and daughter, there was also a female cultivator who was playing with a jade pendant in her hand, and was looking at Lu Ping who walked in with a hint of scrutiny.
Li Maolin pointed to the unfamiliar female cultivator, and introduced with a smile: "Brother Lu Jiu, this is the daughter of a friend of the old man in his early years, called Chu Ting, I haven't seen him for decades, I don't think the old man's niece also had a chance to get the inheritance of a Dan master in her early years, and now she can actually refine the pill of the half-step forging pill period, the old friend has a daughter like this, the old man is very relieved!"
Lu Ping was stunned, bowed slightly, and said, "In Xia Lu Jiu, I have seen Miss Chu!"
Out of politeness, Chu Ting got up from her seat to greet Lu Ping, and after the two sat down, Li Maolin just wanted to say something, but Chu Ting asked first: "I don't want Brother Lu to be able to refine a half-step forging pill just by reaching the late stage of hemolysis, which is really admirable." ”
Lu Ping could hear that although this Miss Chu said politely, her tone was naturally arrogant, thinking that she was a noble-born monk, so he replied calmly: "It's just a fluke here, it's not worth mentioning!"
Chu Ting obviously didn't care about Lu Ping's perfunctory, but continued to ask, "Dare to ask what kind of half-step forging pill pill Brother Lu has ever refined?"
This was a bit abrupt, Lu Ping glanced at her and did not answer.
Li Maolin hurriedly said: "The difficulty of refining the seven-step pattern pill is no longer ordinary under the pill of the forging pill, and the spirit grass required for refining the seven-step pattern pill is also extremely difficult to find, my Li family has collected it for several years, and it is only barely enough for four furnaces, it is a matter of whether the little girl can successfully advance to the forging pill period, the old man has to be cautious, these four furnaces of pill Lu brother refining two furnaces, Chu Ting's niece refining the other two furnaces, the two of them only need to refine a seven-step pattern pill, what do you think?"
Lu Ping naturally knew that this was the Li family's somewhat distrust of him, after all, the Li family invited him to come, more based on their own speculation, compared to it, Li Maolin's daughter of an old friend was obviously more trustworthy.
As an alchemist, Lu Ping naturally had his own arrogance, stood up quietly, and said: "Since the Li family master can't trust it, and he has invited Gao Ming Danshi, this matter of refining pills is withdrawn in the next place, but the Dan prescription of this seven-step pattern pill has been recorded in the mind of the next one, and it cannot be returned." ”
Lu Ping's words were quite serious, and Li Maolin was a little flustered, but after all, he was a real person, and he immediately weighed the stakes and harms, once today's incident came out, I am afraid that no alchemist would come to the Li family in the future.
If Lu Ping is directly driven away by Chu Ting today, in the eyes of the alchemist, Lu Ping is just because his skills are inferior to others, and he deserves to be ashamed, but if he dislikes Lu Ping's alchemy because the Li family invited Gao Ming Danshi, then not only will the Li family be hostile to the alchemist, but Chu Ting will also be isolated by the alchemist.
Chu Ting is obviously not familiar with these unspoken rules among alchemists, although Li Maolin is not a Dan master, but his hundreds of years of experience obviously have heard a lot about this, hurriedly stood up, stopped Lu Ping, and said: "Brother Lu is angry, it's not that the old man doesn't trust his brother, it's really that whether the little girl can advance to the forging pill period is very important, Brother Lu wants to understand the situation of Sanjiadao these days, the Li family is weak, if there is no real person, I am afraid that I will not be able to have a foothold in Sanjiadao." ”
Lu Ping saw that Li Maolin was like this, and knew that a real person could do this, which could be regarded as giving him enough face, and he also took someone else's seven-step pattern Dan Dan Fang, and it was a little unrighteous to leave, so he went down the steps and said: "Since the head of the Li family said so, the younger generation is not a person who does not know what to do, so he should do his best." ”
Li Maolin was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to lead Lu Ping to the alchemy room, and at the same time sent the two furnaces of spiritual grass for refining the seven-step pattern pill over.
After Lu Ping left, Li Xiuzhu asked with some puzzlement: "Father, since Senior Sister Chu has arrived, this Lu Jiu's alchemy is just a guess, and I haven't seen it in person, he just needs to leave if he wants to, why should my father stop him, in case this person is just a person who deceives the world and steals his name, wouldn't it be a pity to refine and waste two furnaces of spirit grass?"
Li Maolin shook his head and explained some of the rules he knew about alchemists one by one, although he was explaining to Li Xiuzhu, he was actually listening to Chu Ting.
After Chu Ting listened, she put the jade pendant in her hand on her waist and muttered: "No wonder the teacher repeatedly asked his niece to meet the alchemist before leaving, no matter how good or bad the alchemy is, she must befriend him. ”
Li Maolin shook his head and said: "This person's alchemy may not be unrefined, since this person came to Sanjia Island, the loose cultivators in the Fang City often took some spiritual grass to ask him for advice, and he answered them one by one, and he has never encountered a spiritual grass he doesn't know, which shows that at least this person's alchemy foundation is quite stable." ”
Chu Ting thought for a while and said, "These three islands are just a small area, I'm afraid it's difficult for Qihan Spirit Grass to appear, and it's not so difficult to know them all." ”
Although Chu Ting said this, there was still a little less arrogance on her face and a little more seriousness.
Li Maolin didn't pay attention to Chu Ting's words, and continued: "And this person is very mysterious, I can't see through it, this person should have the hidden secret technique of the upper layer, and be able to completely change his own breath cultivation, and this person's cultivation may not be the seventh layer of hemolysis, Zhu'er, I am afraid you may not be his opponent." ”
When Li Xiuzhu heard his father's words, he said with some disbelief: "How can it be, doesn't that mean that this person will be a monk in the Forging Dan Period?"
Hearing this, Li Maolin said solemnly: "Nonsense! Does Zhu'er think that he has no opponent among the Hemolysis Stage cultivators? I'm afraid you're not even your Senior Sister Chu's opponent, right?"
Li Xiuzhu knew that he had said the wrong thing, but he was still a little unconvinced, but he heard Chu Ting say thoughtfully: "Indeed, Senior Sister Li still remembers the fifty-seventh monk at the fair? This person's strength is superb, I'm afraid even I am not his opponent, originally Senior Sister I thought that person must be a forging pill real person who sealed his own cultivation, but now that I think about it, I feel that that person is a little similar to this Lu Jiu, no wonder after seeing this person, there is a feeling of déjà vu." ”
Li Maolin was shocked when he heard this, and asked in unison: "Is this true?"
Chu Ting shook her head and said, "I can't be sure, but it feels a little similar, that person was extremely cunning that day, and he didn't leave the slightest flaw about himself, even the divine thought brand can be cracked, and that person should also be good at a hidden technique that reduces his own cultivation, which is also the basis for me to suspect that he is a real person in Forging Dan." ”
Li Maolin said: "It's a pity that you couldn't meet with Master Chu's nephew at that time, otherwise that person would not have been allowed to take advantage of the chaos to blend in with the surviving monks, and the nephew can be sure that your identity was not discovered by that person?"
Chu Ting thought about it for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be, at the moment when the cloak was broken, I had already covered my face with a cloud-covering veil, and I wouldn't notice it if I thought about it." ”
The Li family's alchemy room.
Lu Ping had already made up his mind, no matter whether the seven-step pattern pill refining was successful or not, he would leave the Li family as soon as possible, Lu Ping did not expect that the participants in the attack on the underground trade would actually be the Li family, and the Chu Ting just now was the seventy-second monk who fought with Lu Ping.
On that day, Lu Ping and Monk No. 72 fought twice, although Lu Ping cut his cloak with the Qinghan sword, but the other party's reaction was also very fast, and in a moment he covered his face with a layer of gauze, only letting Lu Ping know that this person was a woman.
However, when Lu Ping saw Chu Ting, he saw that the jade pendant she was playing with was exactly the same as the jade pendant on the waist of the seventy-second monk that day, and Lu Ping also asked about a quiet and distant fragrance.
This kind of aroma is very familiar to Lu Ping, this is a rather elegant fragrance that the monk only has after taking the Baihua Pill, although the fragrance of the Baihua Pill can be changed according to the different preferences of the monk, but as an alchemist, whether the fragrance comes from the Baihua Pill is naturally known at a glance, not to mention that Chu Ting did not change the aroma, it is exactly the same as the fragrance emanating from the seventy-second monk that day.
The cloud-covering veil covered the appearance and the breath, but it failed to cover the monk's body fragrance, which is probably smelling the fragrance and knowing the woman!
