"This ......" Shen Shi only felt that his throat was a little dry, and he turned his head to look at Zhong Qinglu, only to see that the black ash on her originally fair face seemed to be very similar to those scattered on the ground, and the bottom of her heart became more and more empty, and she whispered, "You...... Could it be that something went wrong during the alchemy process?"

Zhong Qinglu stared at him, sneered, and said, "Thanks to you, when my most critical fire was at its peak and I was about to open the furnace to take the pill, I came to call the door, and the pill was useless with a shake of my hand, not to mention, even the pill furnace was broken." ”

"Ah......" This situation looks three points worse than the worst situation that Shen Shi expected, he didn't know what to say at this time, only to see Zhong Qinglu's face full of anger, and his body seemed to be trembling faintly, obviously angry to the extreme.

In a panic, Shen Shi only felt that there was something in his mind that he couldn't turn around, so he had to stammer: "I, I didn't mean to, I'm sorry." ”

"Excuse me?" Zhong Qinglu's voice rose suddenly, looking a little sharp in this silent night, staring at Shen Shi, only to hear her say hatefully, "Forget it, don't you say sorry? Do you know how long I have guarded this furnace of elixir, and I don't dare to leave for two whole hours! Do you know how many spirit herbs are needed to refine the Qi Nourishing Pill, do you know how many spirit crystals are gone? That one Dan furnace is broken, do you know how many spirit crystals it will take, and it took me three years of savings to buy it, you know!"

A bunch of fierce words and surging questions made Shen Shi dizzy, and he couldn't say a word, but at this moment Zhong Qinglu was still angry, but there was a little more sadness on his face, and there was a little more moisture in his eyes, which seemed to touch something sad, and in the end, a crystal teardrop couldn't be suppressed and rolled down.

Shen Shi was dumbfounded, standing there at a loss, Zhong Qingzhu wiped his eyes fiercely, there was a bit of crying in his voice, and said loudly to Shen Shi: "You give me go, go, I don't want to see you!"

The voice was sharp, and it came far away in the night, and Shen Shi turned his head and vaguely saw that someone in the nearby cave seemed to have heard the movement, and ran out to probe his brain and look here.

He was really very apologetic and helpless in his heart, and he felt that he was inexplicably wronged, and he was depressed, but looking at the scene in front of him, he still couldn't help it, and Ai Ai wanted to say a few more sorry words to Zhong Qinglu, so he saw Zhong Qinglu's eyes open and shouted angrily:

"Get out!"

The sound was like thunder, which shook Shen Shi's ears, and the stone doors of the cave next to him opened one after another, and the onlookers saw more and more, Shen Shi really couldn't stand it, and his cheeks were also hot, so he had to turn around and walk quickly, and fled in the wilderness.

Zhong Qing showed a look of anger on his face, and when he turned his head, he saw that at least dozens of fellow disciples had poked their heads out to look at him, and he was even more angry, and said angrily to the crowd: "Look at it!"

After speaking, he turned around, and with a wave of the cloud rune, there was a "boom" sound, and the stone door slammed shut!

The disciples who were scolded by her around were not angry, but walked out of their respective cave doors one by one, and gradually gathered together, looking and chatting curiously over there, and those who were familiar with each other on weekdays also got together to whisper, looking at Zhong Qinglu here for a while, and then looking back at the cave mansion on Shen Shi's side in front of them, there was a deep look on each other's faces, and they kept talking over there.

And in the outer corner of the crowd, Zhong Qingzhu stood there silently alone, I don't know when she came out of the cave, with a little dazed in her eyes, and a little strange expression that she couldn't say, just looked at Zhong Qinglu's closed stone door in a daze, and didn't say a word.

May 21st, cloudy.

When I went out to look at the sky in the morning, I saw that the sky was cloudy, and it seemed to be a rare haze in the sea. Shen Shi shook his head and sighed softly, and his mood was not very good.

After the wolf bèi came back last night, it can be said that he was not in a good mood all night, although he still insisted on holding the spirit crystal in his hand to attract the spirit into the body and cultivating twice, but after that, he was really not in the mood to do the water archery cultivation that should have been, and even included the sleep that would fall asleep peacefully because of tiredness after daily cultivation, Shen Shi also slept a little unsteadily.

His mind was full of the ruptured Dan furnace and the black dregs scattered all over the ground, unlike other rookie disciples, because he grew up in a big shop on the first floor of Tian, he also knew a thing or two about the refining of pills, although he didn't know how to refine pills, but he understood that the spiritual materials required for alchemy were indeed valuable.

Since ancient times, the craft of alchemy has been commonly known as the king of side branches in the cultivation world, and the reason is that almost all monks will use to take various auxiliary elixirs in the process of cultivation, and the elixir full of spiritual power is of great benefit to cultivation, and it is a coveted supreme treasure in the eyes of many monks.

But alchemy is a very expensive thing, even if it is the lowest-level elixir, the spiritual herbs required are also expensive, and the alchemist who can successfully refine the elixir is an extremely rare talent, not only to have outstanding talent in this way, but also to need a huge number of spiritual materials in the middle of the support and consumption to practice, because the fire, Dan color, various elixir blending and many restrictions in the alchemy process, for a newcomer who wants to learn alchemy, it takes a very large number of exercises.

The kind of character who is born to know, it is impossible for alchemy, every alchemist must go through countless failures in order to slowly find the experience of the way to success, the so-called alchemy genius, probably the person who has found the trick of alchemy faster than others and failed a few times.

Zhong Qinglu was able to be the first among the many newcomer disciples under the Dan Hall to refine the Qi Cultivation Pill, obviously she had some talent in alchemy, but she had just started alchemy, and her foundation was obviously not particularly solid, and she still needed to hone many times, but if she followed this path with peace of mind, even if the alchemy was a small success in the future, her path to cultivation in the future would be extremely broad.

A promising young alchemist, even if it is a famous sect like Ling Xiao Sect, will definitely value it very much.

Some people have said that monks are piled up with spirit crystals, but in fact, this sentence is really more appropriate to apply to those side branches and other karma that assist monks in their cultivation. The three most famous side branches, all of which cost a huge amount of resources to achieve small success, alchemy, refining, and formation, all three are the same.

"Did Zhong Qinglu lose a lot last night......" When Shen Shi went to the herring fish market with two pieces of iron-armored armadillo bone armor, he turned back on this year in his heart.

For Zhong Qinglu's alchemy in his cave mansion, Shen Shi understood very well, if you really want to achieve something in alchemy, there are almost no shortcuts to take, even if you are talented, you need to keep practicing and becoming proficient, and the probability of successfully refining the pill will increase. Zhong Qinglu had indeed refined a furnace of Qi Nourishing Pill before, but apparently she herself felt that she seemed to be a little lucky, and she seemed to have some ambition for alchemy, so she simply spent a lot of money to buy a set of alchemy equipment and put it in her cave mansion.

But now it seems to be all bad.

Shen Shi thought with a toothache, he didn't think about what he should do for a while, when he arrived at the herring fish set, he went straight to the shop in charge of refining weapons and handed over these two pieces of bone armor, the senior brother on duty over there was obviously already familiar with this set, and settled with him with his hands and feet, and after a while, Shen Shi walked out with four brand-new spirit crystals.

Lingjing was in his hand, his courage seemed to be a little stronger, Shen Shi's mood was a little better, and after muttering on the street for a while, he turned a corner and walked for a while, and finally walked into Dantang's shop on the herring fish market.

The word Dantang is hung on the door plaque here, and the shop is also spacious, it seems that no matter where you go, the alchemy line still gives people the impression of being wealthy. There are disciples who collect all kinds of spiritual materials and elixirs in the shop, and there are also counters that sell all kinds of elixirs, Shen Shi took a look, the general grade of the elixir here is not very high, and it is basically a type suitable for the disciples of the Qi Refining Realm, and the Qi Nourishing Pill is also among them, Shen Shi asked the price, and a Qi Nourishing Pill will sell five spirit crystals.

This price immediately made Shen Shi shrink back, although he had known that the price here was expensive, otherwise he would not have moved his mind to buy the elixir from Zhong Qinglu, after all, Zhong Qinglu was not a shop, and the elixir he refined by himself would definitely be cheaper.

Standing there and hesitating for a moment, Shen Shi pretended to ask the price again, and casually asked the senior brother who sold some things about the Qi Nourishing Pill including the Alchemy Dan Furnace, the senior brother who came down from the Dan Hall looked kind, and answered all questions, and then Shen Shi calculated in his heart the several elixir spiritual materials needed, and probably also knew the cost price of the spiritual materials for refining a furnace of Qi Nourishing Pill, but he didn't know about the alchemy Dan furnace in the past, and after inquiring with this senior brother, he knew that a Dan furnace, even if it was the lowest level in Zhong Qinglu's Cave Mansion last night, it also needed two hundred spirit crystals。

After hearing this news, Shen Shi's first reaction was Zhong Qinglu, you are too rich, and then the second reaction was that it was too bad, this Dan furnace couldn't afford to pay for it.

Walking out of the herring fish concentration, with the four spirit crystals that were originally very satisfied and relieved, but now they feel so few, Shen Shi was depressed, and walked all the way back to Baiyuwan, thinking about the pills that were abolished all the way last night and the broken pill furnace, he had the heart to go to Zhong Qinglu to apologize again, but looking at the people coming and going during the day, the scene of being scolded by Zhong Qinglu in front of everyone last night made him feel a little empty, so he didn't dare to go over after all.

was so entangled until the evening, the demon island did not go to this day, and basically did nothing, which was a rare decadent day after Shen Shi went to the island. Shen Shi himself also felt that something was not right, so he still cheered up after nightfall, thinking that it might not be completely my fault, why should I embarrass myself so much, so I calmed down and practiced twice, and then thought about it, and saw that it was getting late, so I took advantage of the night to come to the empty Baiyuwan beach, facing the sea, calming down, and quietly practicing water archery.

On this day, the day was hazy, but at night, the dark clouds receded, revealing a bright moon hanging high in the sky, and the moonlight was quietly sprinkled like water, and the beach around him seemed to be covered with a layer of silver veil. Shen Shi exhaled slowly, and after a while, the spiritual power at the center of his eyebrows moved, and the spell casting degree was extremely fast, and it only took three breaths for a transparent crystal stream of water to appear in the palm of his hand.

Just when he was about to release this water flow, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps from behind him, Shen Shi was shocked, and when he looked back, he saw that under the moonlight, a figure stood not far behind him at some point, showing off his shawl, with a beautiful appearance, but his cheeks were slightly fat, and there was a little sadness between his eyebrows, it was Zhong Qinglu.

At this moment, when she saw that her bright eyes fell on the water flow in Shen Shi's hand, she showed a little surprise, but she quickly reacted and glared at Shen Shi, but she turned her head and was about to leave.

Shen Shi was in a hurry, and subconsciously shouted, "Wait a minute." ”

Zhong Qing was stunned, turned around and frowned, looked at Shen Shi, and said angrily:

"What's the matter?"
