Chapter 32: Ice Ants
"Stinky boy, why are you walking behind that old man?" Walking on the road, Xu Lao roared dissatisfiedly, in the cultivation realm, the alchemist is extremely noble, when will there be a reason to walk behind others.
"I'm respecting the old man now!Is there something wrong?" Zhuo Bufan said, he didn't think that the alchemist should be superior.
"Respect the old man!" Xu Lao said angrily, "When did you not respect me, but you still respected the elder?" ”
"Wait, you little guy, didn't you find something?" Suddenly, Xu Lao spoke.
Obviously able to feel the suspicious eyes of the dead old ghost, Zhuo Bufan finally nodded and stopped talking.
"Elder Xu, what are you talking about!" Mo Xiaoye didn't know why.
"Hmph! It's so good for a dog! It's really not as good as a dog, and I don't know when you have such a conscience! I'm so angry!" Xu Lao muttered a sentence and said something inexplicable.
"A dog, what's the matter with dogs?" Mo Xiaoye was even more confused.
"Hehe, it's not that there are ice ants on the woman next to him, it should be that the woman found it on the ice field, this stinky boy has a crooked idea again, and wants to plan the ice ant, so that he can bring it back to the beaver to eat!" Xu Lao said sharply.
"Bring it back to the beaver to eat, but, the beaver is not a dog!" Mo Xiaoye said confusedly.
"The beaver looks like a small ......" Before Xu Lao finished speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by Zhuo Bufan.
"Xu Lao ......"
Xu Lao was suddenly silent.
"Hehe, I didn't expect Xiaobao to be a dog. Nerve Huang suddenly said as if he had realized something, he had been struggling with this problem for a long time.
In an instant, Mo Xiaoye reacted, it turned out that Ah Fan did all this for a dog!
Even if he promised Yun Menghan to come to the Yun family for alchemy, or his concern for Liu Dan's classmates, it actually stemmed from the relationship of a dog.
Because, the beaver looks like Xiaobao, a dog named Xiaobao.
Therefore, even now, he already knew that refining the pill would have a huge turning point in his life and the loss of soul merits, and Zhuo Bufan did not choose to retreat!
Alas! People who attach too much importance to their feelings will always be hurt more than others! Mo Xiaoye suddenly felt some sympathy for Zhuo Bufan.
"Nerve Huang, shut up!" Although Nerve Huang's words made Mo Xiaoye understand all the connections of things, it made Zhuo Bufan dissatisfied.
......
"Menghan, did you find anything unusual on the ice field?" After a while, after considering the language, Zhuo Bufan still decided to call her by Yun Menghan's real name.
"Something unusual?" Yun Menghan was stunned for a moment, but did not react.
"It's just little things, like small animals, or creatures. Zhuo Bufan prompted.
"I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary...... Oh, master, you're talking about this thing!" Yun Menghan finally took out an ant from his ring as if he remembered something.
As soon as the ants appeared, a cold air rushed towards them.
Sure enough, it was an ice ant, crystal clear, covered in ice crystals, and two transparent wings that had not yet grown, fleshy but, as if they were horns.
"Don't call me Master, just call me extraordinary. After a pause, Zhuo Bufan asked, "This gadget is a little useful to me, Menghan, can you cut love!"
"Uh! This little thing was discovered by Mr. Cao, and Mr. Cao has the right to dispose of it, and the master ......, well, if you want it, you have to ask Mr. Cao. Yun Menghan turned his head and glanced at the middle-aged man walking behind him.
And at this time, the old man who was walking at the forefront also suddenly stopped.
Ice ants, isn't that the beaver's favorite food?
"What did you say, Xiao Han, you and Mr. Cao caught the ice ants?" The old man also turned his head and looked at Yun Menghan and the middle-aged man with a frown.
"Yes, what, grandpa, do you want it too?" Yun Menghan was surprised.
The old man's eyes flashed a layer of fiery red in an instant, and he glanced at Zhuo Bufan, and suddenly said, "Big ...... Well, you also breed beavers?"
The old man's name was a bit strange. However, Zhuo Bufan understood that the old man actually wanted to call him a master just now, after all, an alchemist who can break the pill into a treasure at least has the level of a master, but his granddaughters are all called by other people's names, if he is called a master, wouldn't he be two generations shorter than his granddaughter, and he will be the same generation as his granddaughter.
Hehe laughed, Zhuo Bufan said: "Well, my friend raised one, but it lacks some food materials, so I just saw Hunting Xinxi, senior, you still call me by my name." ”
"Well, I'll call you a little Taoist friend!" The old man didn't dare to easily break the rules of the cultivation realm, hundreds of years of Taoism, he was still measured in some things, but for Zhuo Bufan's performance of being able to walk behind him, the old man actually knew that the other party was already very face-saving, and he was not an arrogant character as he imagined before, playing tricks on him.
"Little Daoyou, I can't hide it, I also have some use for this ice ant, I'm afraid I can't exchange it for you. The old man suddenly spoke.
"Grandpa!" Yun Menghan was anxious in his heart, for fear of offending Zhuo Bufan, and after a while, Zhuo Bufan was so angry that he didn't even refine the pill.
The old man's face sank, waved his hand to stop her from continuing to speak, and said to the middle-aged man behind him: "Mr. Cao, I want this ice ant, and when the time comes, I will exchange it with a spiritual object from the Dragon Cave with you, and you can take one piece, it's good!"
The old man said undoubtedly.
Frowning slightly, Cao Shen was also a little embarrassed, theoretically he should exchange with the Xiuzhen family where he was located, but for the alchemy master who could see the broken pill as a treasure, he also had something in his heart, but at this moment, the old man's words made him in a dilemma.
After a while, Mr. Cao finally decided to exchange the ice ants for Zhuo Bufan, because the Yun family couldn't do what he asked for.
"I'm sorry, owner, I have something to ask Mr. Zhuo, if Mr. Zhuo can do it, I have to exchange it for Mr. Zhuo. Cao Shen said with a look of embarrassment.
He wanted to exchange a pill with Zhuo Bufan, he couldn't refine this pill, but it had troubled him for many years, he had to get it, if it weren't for this pill, he wouldn't have to stay in the Yun family.
Hearing Cao Shen's words, the old man's face sank slightly, as if he was a little sad.
Seeing this, Zhuo Bufan's heart suddenly moved, ice ants actually don't have much function for cultivators, the only obvious benefit is that they are nourished as food for the beaver, and the old man also mentioned the beaver just now, is it because of Liu Dan......
"Senior, the kid has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not. Zhuo Bufan said.
"What do you say?" said the old man, whose face was slightly stunned.
"Actually, the kid has a classmate named Liu Dan, and the kid wants a beaver this time, but it's actually for Liu Dan's classmates. Zhuo Bufan reminded.
"Xiao Dan!" the old man was surprised, "Do you know Xiao Dan?"
"Yes, we are classmates. Zhuo Bufan nodded.
"That's right, Bufan and Xiao Dan are really classmates, and Meng Han also went to know Bufan because of this. Yun Menghan explained.
"Okay! In that case, you and Mr. Cao should exchange this ice ant. The old man finally said with reassurance.
"Whew. Yun Menghan breathed a sigh of relief.
And Cao Shen also looked relieved, the Yun family treated him very well, and he had already exceeded the treatment of ordinary alchemists, if it weren't for the Huimeng Pill, he would definitely not exchange with Zhuo Bufan.
Cao Shen then communicated with Zhuo Bufan, Zhuo Bufan couldn't help but wrinkle slightly when he heard Cao Shen's request, glanced at Cao Shen, and finally nodded in agreement, and Cao Shen was immediately overjoyed, and thanked Zhuo Bufan again and again.
Otherwise, how could ordinary people exchange ice ants for a Dream Pill?
**
The red flames were beating vigorously in front of Zhuo Bufan's eyes, as if the beauties on TV were dancing wildly, and a scorching breath rushed towards him, accompanied by a crackling sound.
At this time, Zhuo Bufan was sweating in a quiet room refining Dan, and in front of him was an old-fashioned and quaint three-legged furnace, and there was still green smoke above the furnace.
Just now, everyone entered the quiet room, and after just a few polite words, Zhuo Bufan proposed to make alchemy for Old Man Yun, he didn't forget that he came out this time to ask for leave, and the time was limited.
Fortunately, the Yun family did not dare to slack off on him, the nominal alchemy master, and besides, this was also related to the physical life of the old man Yun, and the Yun family did not dare to delay, and soon arranged a good alchemy room for Zhuo Bufan, and also took out an heirloom alchemy furnace for him to refine, but as soon as he took it out, he was almost broken by Xu Lao, fortunately, Zhuo Bufan didn't care, and accepted it generously, so that the people of the Yun family felt a little relieved.
"Alas, this broken Dan furnace has a limited efficiency in absorbing soul fire, and it can't be burned directly with the core of the ice flame, it can only rotate little by little to play the ice flame, when will this be refined!"
"Hehe, I said earlier that this Dan furnace is garbage, broken Dan furnace, you don't believe it!" Xu Lao said with a sneer, looking at Zhuo Bufan's sin, he felt extremely happy, in his ring, a place that Zhuo Bufan's mind could not detect, in fact, there were several good Dan furnaces lying down.
"I didn't say I didn't believe it, I just thought, it's better to have a Dan furnace than no Dan furnace, if there is no Dan furnace, if I have to use the heaven and earth in my palm to refine the pill, I have to refine it into a human being, it will take too long. Zhuo Bufan replied, paused and said: "Well, Elder Xu, by the way, was the alchemy furnace really burned by me last time?" I think it seems to be only a little broken, there shouldn't be any big problem, why don't you take it out and let me try it?"
