I don’t know if it’s because Fu Xiuxiu has been at home these two days.
Bai Meiling seems to come back a little early from get off work every day.
After coming back, he took Fu Xiuxiu out for shopping or chatting in the yard, letting out crisp and delicate laughter from time to time.
Of course, she would also sneak into Luo Chen's house when she had nothing to do.
Watching Luo Chen build the alchemy room bit by bit, there was an expression of admiration in his eyes.
"With your skills, even if you can no longer make alchemy in the future, you can still go to Ailao Mountain to find a job."
"Ailao Mountain? What is it for?"
"The Jindan Sect in the Jade Cauldron Region specializes in various minerals. At the same time, this sect is very good at building houses. Didn't you buy these bricks and stones from Xianzhuju, a store directly under Ailao Mountain?"
Is Xianzhuju the property of Ailao Mountain?
Luo Chen really doesn’t know.
In other words, he didn't know much about the sect in Ailao Mountain.
Bai Meiling explained to him casually, and then he realized that Ailao Mountain was prosperous in the Jade Cauldron Territory.
Casual cultivators don't pay much attention to where they live. They can live happily in a wooden house or a cave.
But the monks from the sect with strong financial resources are not so resigned.
Their residential caves are often carefully designed.
From lighting to the medicine garden and alchemy room, we must choose a good place and use good materials to build it.
Especially in large buildings, there are even more doorways inside.
It can be as large as a mountain gate or cave or as small as a city building. Not only is the house built and the floor laid, the entire large-scale formation is complete.
How to match spiritual wood, the penetration and accumulation of spiritual energy by minerals, and the impact of Feng Shui orientation on the long-term residence of monks.
Even whether the floor is suitable for large spacecrafts to take off and land must be taken into consideration.
Some famous formations have been specially set up, not only to integrate with the mountains and rivers, but also to integrate with the buildings to the point where they can take advantage of each other.
In the past three hundred years, after the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect established this domain, it has ushered in vigorous development and construction.
During this huge development and construction process, Ailaoshan actually contracted many projects and made a lot of money.
"Ailaoshan handled all the initial construction in Dahefang City from layout design to construction and implementation."
"It is rumored that in the Shengong City in Ailao Mountain, the price of any cave abode starts at 100,000 spirit stones, and it only lasts for seventy years."
After listening to Bai Meiling's explanation, Luo Chen was really stunned.
Real estate in the world of immortality is also so promising!
No, when I have the spirit stone in the future, I will have to ask the experts from Ailao Mountain to redesign it.
"By the way, is there any conflict between Sister Xiuxiu and Sister Caiyi?" Luo Chen curiously inquired about the gossip.
Things between women are troublesome and he doesn't want to get involved.
But gossip between women always sounds interesting.
Bai Meiling tilted her little head, "There is no contradiction!"
"Sister Xiuxiu is very gentle, normal and kind, and rarely has conflicts with others."
Luo Chen was stunned for a moment, "Then why did Sister Xiuxiu seem uncomfortable when I mentioned Sister Caiyi?"
"Oh, you're talking about this!" Bai Meiling smacked her lips and waved her hand, "It's not Sister Xiuxiu's Taoist monk's trouble."
Fu Xiuxiu had a Taoist partner before?
Luo Chen became interested instantly.
"Sister Xiuxiu's Taoist companion is an inner disciple of the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect. However, due to the failure in attacking the foundation, he transferred to the outer sect as a deacon."
"Outer sect deacons cannot focus on cultivating the whole family. They need to be dispatched to various places to handle various industries for the sect."
"That man came to Dahefang City and met Sister Xiuxiu, who was still a casual cultivator, and the two became a Taoist couple."
Bai Meiling shook her head as she spoke.
"However, this person failed to build the foundation and his Taoist heart was damaged. Later, he indulged in enjoyment. Even with Sister Xiuxiu, he often went to Tianxiang Tower to spend the night."
"One morning, he died in an embroidery building in Tianxiang Building."
"Senior Sun Shou personally went to bring the corpse back."
Is it possible to die under peonies and be a ghost?
Luo Chen couldn't help but give a thumbs up, he is a role model for our generation.
"Since then, Sister Xiuxiu has not been very fond of people and things related to Tianxiang Tower. And Sister Caiyi works there, so she may be a little moved by the scene, so she doesn't like Sister Caiyi very much!"
Bai Meiling explained the reasons one by one, and Luo Chen suddenly realized it.
Hate the house and the bird, this is almost the case.
After satisfying Luo Chen's curiosity, Bai Meiling also remembered her own problem.
"Can the Fire Dog Whip also be used to refine high-grade Bigu Pills?"
Luo Chen quickly pushed her out, "I'm going to be busy, it will smell very bad later!"
"Hey, remember to open the light smoke and rain building, otherwise I will file a complaint against you."
Bai Meiling pinched her nose and ran away in disgust.
Luo Chen casually fired a burst of spiritual power, started the range hood, and took out the Ziyun copper stove from the storage bag.
clang!
"The volume of one bag is still a bit small after all. It would be nice if there were storage bags with three, five, or even one hundred square meters."
After all, it is still a first-level low-grade magic weapon, and it cannot be as big or small as you want.
This Ziyun copper stove alone takes up almost 80% of the space in his storage bag.
There was no way before, the medicinal materials were stuffed inside the stove.
If it is not released, the main ingredients will be tainted with odor.
Carefully place the Ziyun copper stove over the fire pit and add water.
He took a bundle of yellowed green steel wood and stuffed it underneath, then inserted a fireball technique, and the wood slowly started to burn.
After changing the alchemy equipment, the peach wood and red cedar wood that were commonly used in the past are no longer suitable.
The firepower that those two kinds of firewood can release is too small. It will take an unknown amount of time to heat the Ziyun copper stove.
Therefore, Luo Chen specially purchased expensive green steel wood.
This first-order spiritual wood contains oil and can release considerable heat when ignited.
"It is rumored that high-level monks make elixirs either by using the elixir fire in their bodies, or by borrowing the earthly fire and heavenly fire between heaven and earth. I don't know when I will be able to use that method?"
After muttering a few words and making sure that the insulation of the fire pit was ok, Luo Chen turned around and left the alchemy room.
First, burn the alchemy furnace, heat the furnace, and burn out some of the medicinal gas hidden in it.
These operations are all based on experience.
When Miss Xiangxiang sold his stove, she also gave instructions in the booklet she left behind.
Burning the furnace is only the first step, and the next step is to test the furnace. Only after you are familiar with it can you refining it with confidence.
In these two days, let’s process the medicinal materials first!
...
Crackling!
Bang bang click!
"what sound?"
There were lazy doubts from outside. Luo Chen opened the stone door of the alchemy room and walked out in disgrace.
Gu Caiyi couldn't help laughing when she saw his embarrassed appearance.
"What are you doing? And why is there a separate room in your house?"
Whoops!
Luo Chen fanned himself and gave himself a cleansing spell.
It exploded with a bang, and all the dust on his body flew away, causing Gu Caiyi to quickly avoid it.
He came to the water tank, scooped out a large gourd of cold water and poured it down, and then he regained his breath.
"Damn it, no wonder all famous alchemists are equipped with fire-watching boys. This alchemy room is not a place where we often stay."
After cursing, he had time to explain to Gu Caiyi.
"This is my new alchemy room. How about it? It's okay!"
Gu Caiyi waved his hand and shook off the dust around him.
"Yes, I suggest you stay in there every day."
Luo Chen had a look on his face and didn't take it seriously, "I'm testing the stove and frying some fairy beans. Do you want to eat them?"
"Fairy beans?"
Luo Chen got into the alchemy room and quickly brought out a plate of golden beans.
The beans have shells, but they have cracked during the high-temperature stir-frying process.
Just peel it off gently to reveal the white kernel inside.
"It's a bitter hazelnut!" Gu Caiyi picked up one hesitantly, "This thing is very bitter, can you eat it?"
"Just try and you will find out."
Luo Chen had already peeled off the shells and stuffed several pieces into his mouth.
Gu Caiyi peeled off the golden shell and put the white and tender nuts into her mouth.
The red lips moved slightly, and the eyes slowly lit up.
"Oh, not bad! How did you fry it? It tastes delicious and crispy, and it also contains a little spiritual energy."
Luo Chen said sullenly: "Exclusive secret recipe, no comment!"
Gu Caiyi rolled her eyes at him and snatched the plate of fairy beans.
Luo Chen didn't care, he added a bucket of water to the Ziyun Copper Stove, and then carried a small kettle out the door.
In the yard, Gu Caiyi was sitting on the children's swing where Xiaohu usually sat. He held the plate of fairy beans in his hand and peeled off one of them.
Opposite her, Luo Chen was carrying a small kettle and watering a row of potted plants one by one.
"These are Fu Xiuxiu's flowers and plants!"
Luo Chen hummed and observed the two pots of spiritual plants specially instructed by Sister Xiuxiu to make sure there was nothing wrong.
It has been four days since the last dinner party.
Fu Xiuxiu's holiday was over and she returned to work at Shenfu Pavilion. She only had one day off a month.
I was promoted to manager some time ago and spent a long time in Shenfu Pavilion, only to accumulate three days of vacation.
Before leaving, these flowers and plants were entrusted to Luo Chen to take care of.
"You are quite familiar with her. You just met her, so you tricked her into getting these flowers and plants."
"Don't talk nonsense! How can things between neighbors be called cheating?"
"Tch, I saw it just now. You put the pot of moonlight grass on the bedside. You must be secretly practicing hard every night!"
Luo Chen blushed, why is this woman's eyes so sharp!
But don't tell me, the effect of moonlight grass is really good. Although it is not as good as the calming incense, it is still one-tenth of the effect.
His maximum limit for operating Changchun Kung has been increased once in the past two nights.
After practicing every day, I feel even more energetic when I wake up in the morning!
Along with the daily spell proficiency training, his proficiency has been rising steadily, and several spells have broken through new levels.
Luo Chen quickly changed the subject, "Why didn't I see you back a few days ago?"
"Hey, wait, your cultivation level?"
Gu Caiyi pursed her lips and smiled. The narrow swing held her plump hips, which contrasted with her slender waist, creating an exaggerated visual effect.
"You've discovered it, I've reached the ninth level of Qi refining!"
