Liu Qianqian took the fragment and looked at it carefully.
Then he sniffed again and said: "I seem to have heard other people mention this kind of fire mark, but it doesn't look like it. To be honest, I'm not sure yet."
"Oh, that's okay, I was just asking casually." Lu Yuan felt a little regretful.
"But I'm not sure. My dad should be sure."
"Your father?"
"Yes. He is the elder of our Soldier Hall, and he is quite good at this!" Liu Qianqian said with admiration.
Lu Yuan said happily: "That's good. Can you please take me to see your father?"
Liu Qianqian blushed: "Ahem, what you said... people who don't understand what they think about us."
Lu Yuan also reacted and smiled awkwardly.
"Okay, I'm just kidding. For the sake of the tree bark you gave me, I'll take you there. When are we leaving?"
"I'll go back to the county office and talk to them first. You can wait for me outside the east gate of the town."
"Okay. Go and come back quickly!"
…………
The two of them used their magical powers to speed up their walking, and walked to the southeast of the town for a long time before arriving at the mountain gate of Bingpo Hall.
Outside the mountain gate, a high mountain is carved into the image of a giant military commander.
The general has the head of a tiger and the eyes of a leopard, fully armed and with strong muscles. He held a giant sword and a giant ax in both hands, looking majestic and majestic, like a god descending from heaven.
Lu Yuan looked up for a long time and couldn't help but admire.
"This is carved by our craftsmen, it's awesome!"
"Exquisite craftsmanship. Who is the general who carved this?"
"It's General Zhou Chunfeng, the founder of our Bingpo Hall!"
The founder of a sect is an outstanding person no matter what. Lu Yuan cupped his hands in front of the statue and said, "I admire you for a long time."
Liu Qianqian smiled and led Lu Yuan up the thick blue brick stairs.
Because of her clothes, Lu Yuan was embarrassed to walk behind, so he had to try his best to keep walking on the same level as her.
After greeting the guarding disciples, they arrived at the sect's vestibule.
The vestibule is extremely vast, with many flags with flame patterns planted around it. Nearly a thousand disciples are divided into about twenty square formations, and each square has two or three teaching masters leading them to practice.
Lu Yuan took a closer look and found that the disciples, both men and women, were not wearing much armor, and all of them had strong muscles and well-toned bodies.
It turns out that wearing less clothes is a characteristic of their sect. Lu Yuan secretly said.
From further distance, there was a curl of green smoke, and there were also faint sounds of banging iron tools.
"Brother Lu, let's go, daddy is right in front."
Lu Yuan followed her around a few corners and came to a small square.
A tall, burly, muscular middle-aged Xuanshi, wearing gold-plated steel armor with his right side exposed, stood like a pine tree in the center of the platform.
"Dad, I'm back!" Liu Qianqian quickly rushed towards the middle-aged monk.
"Just come back!" The middle-aged monk touched her head lovingly, "Have you found all the materials?"
"Well, I also got the last piece of bark. This little brother gave it to me." Liu Qianqian pointed at Lu Yuan.
"Oh? Who is this?"
"I'm the demon master Lu Yuan. I've met Elder Liu!"
Elder Liu’s name is Liu Pan. He smiled and said: "You're welcome, little friend. Please come to the hall to talk."
The three of them sat down in the hall, and the deacon's disciples brought three cups of fragrant tea.
After a few words of greeting, Liu Pan said: "Little friend Lu has reached the peak of the first level at a young age. He is indeed a genius. However, there are thousands of ways to cultivate mystical knowledge. Why should I choose the demon master?"
Hu Bugui once told Lu Yuan that the Xuanxu world was prejudiced against demon masters, believing that they often absorbed demon pills and had demon aura themselves, which was different from those of the righteous people.
"My father was killed by a demon, and Lu has an sworn hatred against the demon! Therefore, I chose the demon master who can best kill the demon directly." Lu Yuan said sternly.
Liu Pan took a sip of tea: "You have a tough mind, and I'm very optimistic about you. But as far as I know, demon masters usually only take demon pills, and rarely peel off materials - if you peel off the skin of the tree spirit and give it to Qianqian, I'm afraid Do you have a plan?"
"Dad! Why did you say that about Brother Lu? He refused to give it to me at the time. Later, he competed with me and saw that I lost, so he gave it to me as a consolation prize." Liu Qianqian said hurriedly.
Liu Pan smiled lightly and said: "Qian'er, the world is dangerous and people's hearts are unpredictable. You grew up in a sect and have little contact with the outside world. It is necessary to be more wary."
Lu Yuan also smiled and said: "I just want to improve my cultivation. I really don't care much about other things."
Liu Pan said: "My little friend is already a wise person for having such thoughts. My daughter is not deeply involved in the world, so it is only natural for me to be worried like this."
"That's right, I don't think Brother Lu is a bad person at all. Dad, you are overthinking." Liu Qianqian said quickly.
"But no matter what, I still helped Qian'er. If you want any reward, just tell me." Liu Pan's temperament is as strong as the steel armor on his body.
"I don't want anything. I just want Elder Liu to take a look at this."
Lu Yuan took out the fragment of the Demon Suppression Tower and handed it to Liu Pan.
"Please take a look, what kind of fox tribe was sacrificed to cause the demonic thunder burn marks on this iron sheet?"
Liu Pan took it, turned it over in his hand and looked at it carefully.
After looking at it for a while, he took out a delicate white lens tube from his ring and held it to his right eye to look at it more carefully. While watching, he nodded slightly.
After about half a cup of tea, he took off the lens barrel and said to Lu Yuan:
"I am the chief smelting elder of the Soldier Hall, and I have seen countless burn marks. According to my many years of smelting experience, this burn mark is not caused by ordinary flames, but should be caused by demonic thunder."
"Elder Liu, does he know what kind of demon thunder this is?"
"There are thousands of types of demon thunder. I am not a demon master, and a demon master may not understand them all. I am really helpless."
"Oh! Thank you Elder Liu for your teachings. I will definitely repay you generously in the future!"
"Haha, young man, improve your own strength first. I don't really care whether you retaliate or not. You are Qianqian's friend, that is, my guest. The Mirror Monkey Armor she wants to forge only needs to be tempered with the steely Dryad Skin. , I have been looking for the skin of this tree spirit for a long time. You have been of great help this time. If possible, please ask me to stay in our hall for a few days."
Lu Yuan got a lot of demon pills in a row, and seeing the rich spiritual energy here, he also wanted to use this place to break through to the Nine Stars safely, so he said: "Thank you, elder, that junior will be disrespectful."
Liu Qianqian looked at Lu Yuan, lowered her head and smiled sweetly.
…
At night, the mountain breeze is refreshing and the lone bird is singing in the stream.
After absorbing some demon pills, Lu Yuan came out of the guest room, leaned against the garden tree and looked at the bright moon.
Mom, are you okay at home?
Seeing Elder Liu's love for his daughter during the day, he felt uncomfortable.
I don’t know how long it has been since I felt the love of my parents.
In the vast sea of people, parents are the refuge of the soul...
If you want to take back the jade flute, you must make yourself strong!
Lu Yuan lingered for a long time, exhaled a breath of turbid air, put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, and prepared to meditate again.
"Brother Lu, you're not asleep yet." A delicate voice came from behind.
"Xiao Qian, why are you here?" Lu Yuan turned around and asked.
