City Lord's Mansion!
Commander Guo knelt on one knee. In front of him stood a middle-aged man wearing a purple robe with a gloomy expression.
"Lord City Lord, you have to make the decision for us. We were all deceived by that little beast. He is not a waste at all."
Weeping in mourning, the dignified first-class guard of the city lord's palace came back with torn clothes and wounds on the necks of other guards. The other party showed mercy.
"Is what you said true?"
The Lord of Canglan City, whose real name is Qi Enshi, has been managing Canglan City for more than twenty years.
"It's absolutely true, they can all testify."
Ten guards were kneeling outside the hall, not qualified to enter, and their right hands were still covering their necks. This was a shame.
"father……"
From behind the curtain, a man and a woman walked out. The woman was younger, in her twenties, and there was an old man in his fifties, with a hooked nose and a fierce face.
The woman's name is Qi Ningyun, Qi Enshi's youngest daughter. She joined the Imperial College two years ago. The old man standing with her is Zhao Yuanjia, a senior tutor of the Imperial College. His status is not as good as Baili Qing's, but he is not low either.
To be able to become a mentor, you have extraordinary talents. Most Imperial Academy students have to rely on their own training. Without a strong background to support them, it is difficult to move forward in the academy.
"Yun'er, how is the evil spirit in your body?" Qi Enshi changed his expression and asked with concern.
"It's nothing serious for the time being. I have to thank Master for traveling all the way from the Imperial City to deliver a Nine Sun Fruit." After Qi Ningyun finished speaking, he bowed to Zhao Yuanjia.
This time I went home to visit relatives and went to the Sunset Mountains for training. I was attacked by a powerful Yin Scorpion beast. I was poisoned by Yin evil, which can only be cured by the most powerful and Yang medicine.
On the one hand, he sent people to search for the medicinal materials from Gangzhiyang in Canglan City, and rushed to the Imperial City day and night to inform Master Zhao Yuanjia that the evil spirit was finally eliminated, and he would be fine after a few days of rest.
"Thank you very much, Teacher Zhao. I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. I will hold a big banquet tonight to support Teacher Zhao." Qi Enshi bowed quickly.
As the Lord of Canglan City, he himself is in the first level of marrow cleansing. Compared with the instructors of the Imperial Academy, he is still inferior.
"City Lord Qi is serious. Yun'er is ill. Master, of course, cannot just sit idly by."
Being respected by others is still very useful. Zhao Yuanjia stroked his beard and looked like a master from this world.
"Dad, what did you mean by trash just now?"
Qi Ningyun was born with a charming look, red phoenix eyes, not very ugly, cheekbones were fleshless, lips were like thin knives, at first glance he looked like a sarcastic person.
Commander Guo quickly knelt down and recounted everything that happened during the day. Qi Ningyun's eyes showed a hint of surprise. She also knew the name of the Xu family's adopted son-in-law. She had not been back for two years and had changed so much.
"Lord City Lord, when has our City Lord's Mansion ever suffered such a loss? If the Xu family is not destroyed, how can the majesty of the City Lord's Mansion remain?"
Commander Guo added fuel to the fire by mentioning how Liu Wuxie insulted the city lord's palace, which was completely unfounded. In order to get revenge, he would do anything to get revenge.
"Xu family? I heard that Baili Qing also came to Canglan City, it seems that it is for a Xu family girl." Zhao Yuanjia suddenly interrupted.
He left the Imperial City with Baili Qing, and the two had an intersection on the road.
"That's right, this is the Xu family. I just received the news that the Xu family girl has followed Baili Qing to leave Canglan City and enter the Imperial Academy to practice in advance."
How could Qi Enshi not hear that Commander Guo was exaggerating and did not buy the Nine Yang Fruit? In the final analysis, he still offended the City Lord's Mansion.
"Dad, what are your plans next? Is this the end of the matter?"
Qi Ningyun looked horrified. Fortunately, her master arrived in time and saved her life. The Xu family's son-in-law ignored her life and refused to give up the Nine Yang Fruit, which made her a little angry.
"Forget it?" Qi Enshi sneered. For so many years, no one has dared to hit Qi Enshi in the face. This is the first time. How can he let it go?
"Then what should we do? The Xu family girl has entered the Imperial College and is under the care of Baili Qing. It seems inappropriate to kill her family."
There was a hint of murderous intent in the corner of Qi Ningyun's mouth. The status of the City Lord's Mansion must not be shaken. This is related to her sense of presence in the college. Only with a family background can the college be taken seriously.
"Three days ago, this loser offended the Wan family and the Tian family in the Colosseum. The Xu family will be removed from Canglan City in a month. We don't need to do anything. The Wan family has fawned over the Xue family. It is most appropriate for them to take action. .”
This news has already reached the city lord's palace, and he plans to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
Bailiqing is a female devil, moody, who knows if she will anger others for the sake of the Xu family.
The best way is to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
Everyone nodded, and Zhao Yuanjia also agreed with Qi Enshi's suggestion. It would be better if Baili Qing could not offend her. This witch was too terrifying, and her name had already spread throughout the Yan Dynasty.
…
Xu Family Courtyard!
Liu Wuxie's eyes were fixed on the alchemy furnace. He only had one chance and couldn't miss it.
He had great trust in his alchemy skills. At this moment, he was a little nervous and afraid of failure.
The Wan family's pressure, the Tian family's coercion, the Danbao Pavilion's coercion and inducement, the City Lord's Mansion was like a sharp sword hanging over his head, and an outsider tore up the engagement in front of him. A series of blows failed to break it. He was crushed.
The alchemy fire was strong, and the palm of his hand released a rich Taihuang Qi, controlling the flames and wrapping the entire alchemy furnace.
Jiuyang Fruit and Red Spirit Grass were completely dissolved. The other materials were successfully purified a few days ago, and they were only waiting for these two medicinal materials.
Time passed by, Liu Wuxie's body was covered in sweat, and he had no time to wipe it off. His hands suddenly opened the furnace cover, and fierce flames entered the inside of the alchemy furnace. This was the last step, forging.
In normal alchemy, the alchemy fire is rarely allowed to enter the alchemy furnace. It is too risky.
He was not in the Houtian realm and could not refine a third-grade elixir, so he could only take a risk.
The rich fragrance of elixir permeated the entire courtyard. Two crystal clear elixirs shuttled among the flames. Every time they were tempered, the efficacy of the medicine would be purified a bit, and the impurities inside were constantly removed.
With both hands forming seals, a large number of spiritual patterns enter the elixir. The spiritual patterns can be used not only for the elixir, but also for weapons, and can also be used to carve talismans.
After carving the spiritual pattern, the elixir possesses extremely strong spirituality and makes a trickling movement.
"Collect the pill!"
The flame suddenly disappeared, the pill furnace quickly cooled down, and using the true energy to wrap it up, two pulse-continuing pills fell into the palm of the hand.
"Success!"
At this moment, the corners of Liu Wuxie's eyes were a little moist. Only when his heart pulse was connected could he do more things and speed up his cultivation.
Taking the elixir, he returned to the house and needed to retreat for a period of time. With the help of the Meridian Renewal Pill, he could break through the innate realm in one fell swoop.
Xu family hall!
Hu Shi walked in with weapons in hand, unable to suppress the excitement on his face.
Xu Yilin has lost a lot of gray hair in the past few days because of the affairs of the weapon shop. The business of the weapon shop is getting worse day by day, and it is almost impossible to make ends meet. If no changes are made, the Xu family will collapse without the Wan family taking action.
"Master, this is a newly refined weapon, please take a look at it!"
Hu Shi brought ten weapons and wrapped them in green cloth so as not to reveal the secret. Pedestrians did not know what he was holding.
Recently, the family's expenses have been severely reduced. Many guards have resigned from the Xu family and switched to three other families, causing the Xu family's status to become lower and lower.
"Hu Shi, thank you for your hard work, please put it here first." Xu Yilin waved his hand and asked him to put it down first.
Recently, all the weapons workshop masters have taken a break. Only Hu Shi is still studying new weapon refining techniques. He has been ridiculed by many people these days, thinking that he is too overestimating his abilities. What advanced weapon refining techniques can a small weapon refining apprentice learn? .
"Master, you'd better take a look."
The master gave him three days to delve into the new weapon refining technique, almost without sleep. The bags under his eyes were dark, but his eyes were very bright, and he could not restrain his inner excitement.
Xu Yilin saw Hu Shi's performance in the past few days and focused on training him. He stepped down from his position and drew out a long sword. A ray of cold light burst out, accompanied by a trace of sword energy.
"this……"
It was wrapped in green cloth just now to block the cold air and sword energy. The moment it was pulled out, a sharp energy was released.
"What a sharp sword, it actually has a hint of spirituality!"
The long sword in his hand was swung down, and the tables and chairs in the distance were torn apart and injured by the sword energy. The quality of this long sword was infinitely close to that of a spiritual weapon, which only Qian Steelmaking could achieve.
"Hu Shi, where did these weapons come from?"
Xu Yilin grabbed Hu Shi's shoulder. The Xu family could not refine such a high-level weapon, let alone believe that it was Hu Shi who refined it.
"I refined it in the past three days."
Hu Shi was very honest and honest. He scratched his head that looked like a chicken coop. He hadn't taken a shower for three days and his body smelled a little bit. However, Xu Yilin didn't show any disgust at all.
"What!"
This time it was Xu Yilin's turn to be shocked. He relied on his weapon refining skills to gain a foothold in Canglan City. Even he couldn't understand Hu Shi's weapon refining skills, which were far beyond ordinary weapon refining techniques.
"Hu Shi, did you develop these weapons yourself?" Xu Yilin was so excited that he grabbed Hu Shi's shoulders and asked urgently.
"That's not true. Someone taught it to me and asked me to study it within three days."
Hu Shi was a little nervous. It was the first time he was so close to the head of the family. He was just an ordinary weapon-making apprentice. He got this position because his father worked as an errand in the Xu family and earned a small amount of gold coins every month.
"Tell me quickly, who taught you the art of weapon refining, I want to thank him in person."
We must find this person and obtain this weapon refining technique. The Xu family will make rapid progress and earn a lot of gold coins to purchase resources and train elite guards. Only then will they have a chance to survive in the face of the coercion of the Wan family and the Tian family.
"He...he wouldn't let me tell anyone else."
Hu Shi stuttered a little. Master said that day not to leak what happened.
"Then is he in Canglan City?"
Xu Yilin showed a hint of surprise and secretly helped the Xu family. Who could it be?
"Here, we are in the Xu family. If nothing happens, I will go back first. Please give the master this scabbard to my uncle." After saying that, he carefully took out a beautiful scabbard from his arms.
Hu Shi was afraid that he would spill the beans, so he quickly turned around and left. His character was too upright, and Xu Yilin would definitely tell him as long as he exerted some pressure.
"Hu Shi, you are now the chief weapon refiner of our Xu family. If you need anything, just ask and I will fully cooperate with you. The Xu family's weapon refinement room will depend on you next."
Xu Yilin was very decisive, with a flash of understanding in his eyes, as if he had guessed something but was not sure yet.
