"Come with me." Murong Yue still had that extremely indifferent expression, and as soon as she finished speaking, she flew towards the passage behind her at high speed.
Mo Juren and the other three did not hesitate and also followed closely.
The passage was not long, and in just a blink of an eye, several people passed through a light curtain, and their eyes suddenly opened up.
What comes into view at this time is a wide valley, which is slightly different from the outside. It is densely planted with countless exotic flowers and plants, and the colorful colors exude fragrance.
The bees and butterflies dance beautifully, the flowers are red and the grass is fragrant. The scenery here is so beautiful, like a fairyland on earth, that Han Yunzhi, who came here for the first time, couldn't help but be intoxicated by it.
Xin Ruyin had been here many times, but she was equally delighted with the surrounding scenery.
There are no high-rise buildings here, only a row of simple thatched houses built at the end of the valley, and a small courtyard surrounded by wooden fences. There are no exquisite buildings or carved pillars, but it complements the surrounding environment.
Soon after, several people came to the thatched house. With a soft creak, the simple wooden door slowly opened, and a familiar figure walked out.
It was the real person who appeared, whom I had not seen for decades, who was still so graceful, elegant and refined.
Different from the past, she was only wearing a coarse cloth dress at this time, and her black hair was tied behind her head with an ordinary wooden hairpin. However, such a light make-up outfit cannot conceal her fairy-like temperament at all. Every smile and every move reveals a charming charm.
"Master! We have been brought here. Disciple will go down first." Seeing the other party, Murong Yue immediately bowed respectfully, then stood up and said.
"Go!" Master Lingqing waved his hand without any intention of stopping the other party. However, when looking at the other person's leaving figure, a trace of guilt and worry could not help but flash in his eyes.
He withdrew his gaze and looked at the three of them again. Especially when he saw Mo Juren, he suddenly paused for a moment, then came back to his senses and said,
"You are a guest. If you have anything to do, come in and tell me."
"Sorry to disturb the real person." Xin Ruyin bowed slightly and immediately entered the small courtyard. Han Yunzhi glanced at Mo Juren beside him, and then followed him in together.
Various medicinal herbs are also planted in the small courtyard, which is obviously taken care of regularly and looks very orderly.
After entering the interior of the thatched cottage, the decoration inside is a bit simple, but there is a hint of simple beauty, making people feel comfortable and natural inside.
The guests and hosts sat down and after introducing each other, Master Lingqing asked:
"Tell me, what do you need my help with?"
He looked directly at Mo Juren, and his manner of speaking made the two women present, Xin Ruyin and Han Yunzhi, a little confused. I always feel that this real person is too 'approachable' to Brother Mo, not like an elder treating a junior.
You know, Master Lingqing is famous in Tiannan, and this is no joke. Not to mention a monk in the Dan Formation stage, he was also a strong man in the Nascent Soul stage, and he was afraid to avoid mentioning the other party.
It's not just the other party, Mo Juren's attitude is also not very respectful. The conversation between the two seems like two friends who have known each other for many years.
"I need to refine a furnace of elixirs. I heard fellow Taoist Liu Chenxuan mention that the real person is good at this, so..." Mo Juren did not mince words and directly stated his purpose.
"Alchemy!" Master Liaoqing looked slightly surprised, but did not refuse. Instead, he continued,
"Liu Chenxuan is very accomplished in the art of alchemy. What kind of elixir are you trying to refine? Even he can't do it?"
"Soul Restoration Pill!" Mo Juren continued to briefly tell the whole story.
"Ancient original prescription?" Master Lingqing frowned. This was the first time she heard such a name. She didn't know what kind of elixir it was, so she said directly,
"Show me the recipe first."
With a thought in Mo Juren's mind, a white jade slip appeared, and then he handed it to the other party and said:
"Inside are the various materials needed to refine the Soul Restoration Pill and the detailed refining methods. However, the materials I prepared are limited, and I can barely make up four copies..."
"Four copies? No wonder he didn't dare to take over." Master Lingqing understood what the other party meant, but he didn't reply immediately. Instead, he checked first.
After reading the introduction of Dan Fang and the many materials listed, he suddenly looked surprised and said,
"Are you so lucky that you can find legendary things like the 'Ten Thousand Years Soul-nurturing Wood'?"
"It's just a fluke." Mo Juren smiled, but did not explain anything. Master Liaoqing didn't ask any more questions and gave another suggestion,
"An ancient spiritual elixir like the Soul Restoration Pill is used to repair the souls of monsters above the transformation stage. However, if it is a low-level monster, taking this pill is overkill."
"But its effect is the best. Since I happened to gather the required elixir and materials, I simply refined this elixir." The other party obviously thought wrong. After all, monsters in the transformation stage are legendary existences. According to common sense, it is impossible for a monk in the Dan Formation stage to possess it. Of course, Mo Juren didn't explain anything deliberately.
Seeing his persistence, he stopped trying to persuade him. After some thought, he said:
"I have accepted this matter. However, given the extremely high quality of this elixir, it is not easy to successfully refine it, and the materials you prepared are not sufficient. Therefore, I need to study it in detail for a period of time to ensure that Foolproof.”
"about how long?"
"One month is enough." Master Liaoqing smiled slightly, with a confident look in his eyes.
"One month, that's not bad." Mo Juren nodded. He could still afford to wait for this time, and then said, "In that case, Mo will visit again in a month."
After saying that, he was about to get up, but when he heard this, Master Qingqing suddenly looked serious and said extremely seriously: "You still need help in refining this elixir. You have the highest cultivation level here and are the most suitable. You can't leave for the time being." .”
"Uh..." Mo Juren was stunned. He didn't know how to make elixirs, so what could he do if he stayed?
In his heart, he really didn't want to get too close to the other party, but since the other party made the request, for the sake of the elixir, he simply chose to agree.
"Then I'm sorry to bother you, it's just a place to live..."
"The thatched cottages on the left outside are all vacant. You can choose any of them." Master Liaoqing nodded, then looked at Xin Ruyin and Han Yunzhi, and said,
"If you two are willing, you can stay. The spiritual energy around here has been restrained and concentrated by my formation, and the concentration of spiritual energy is much better than that in Tianfang City."
"This junior plans to go to Tianluo Kingdom tomorrow. I'm afraid I won't be able to stay." Xin Ruyin shook her head slightly and directly chose to refuse.
Han Yunzhi was different. She naturally didn't want to leave Mo Juren's side. Like Lian Feihua, she has always been wary of this lover, and she is worried about Brother Mo staying here by himself.
Naturally, she would not take the initiative to say anything, but just looked at the other party with some worry. Mo Juren, who had a vague feeling, gave the other party a direct look, indicating that he didn't need to worry.
"Are you planning to break through the bottleneck of the pill formation stage?" Master Liaoqing nodded slightly. She naturally knew the other party's Dragon Roar body and also knew its purpose of returning to Tianluo Kingdom. It is just to be able to suppress the backlash of yang energy in the body at any time and maintain the balance of yin and yang.
In fact, there is no need to return to Tianluo Kingdom for such a matter. She can also help, and she has helped more than once before. However, this time is different.
It takes a long time to attack the core, at least several years. For such a long period of time, a Nascent Soul Stage monk must be constantly paying attention, which is by no means a simple matter.
It is normal that the other party did not choose to ask her to help, but chose his own master.
The matter was settled, Xin Ruyin had to make some preparations in advance, and even said goodbye. As for Mo Juren and Han Yunzhi, they chose a vacant thatched house to settle down temporarily.
…
As night fell, the bright moon hung in the sky, and bits of silver light swayed down. The entire valley seemed to be covered with a layer of silver gauze.
In a thatched house on the left, Mo Juren stood in front of the window with his hands folded, looking at the strange scenery of the valley at night in deep thought.
Han Yunzhi slowly approached, gently held the other person's arm, and asked in a worried voice:
"Is it really okay for us to stay here?"
"It's okay." Mo Juren patted the other party's fair hand, thought for a moment, and then said,
"Do you still remember when I was chased by the Yuanying Stage monks of the Right Path?"
"Of course I remember that Brother Mo escaped from that strong man in the Nascent Soul stage with just his cultivation in the early stage of forming pills. Such strength shocked both the good and the devil, and praised you as the first person under the Nascent Soul stage. "Han Yunzhi nodded, understanding what the other party meant, and then said,
"It was also Mr. Luo Qing who saved Brother Mo's life at that time. Looking at it this way, the other party did not have any intention of harming him, but instead had the grace to save his life."
"Yes, it's a life-saving grace." Mo Juren sighed, thinking of all the entanglements between the two of them in the past, he couldn't help but feel a little complicated. In addition, there is Murong Yue, or Chen Qiaoqian, who also has the mark of three lives, and theoretically should also be affected.
However, the situation was not what he thought. When the real person who fell in love came to visit him specially, and forcibly experienced a lifelong marriage with him in a dream, you can guess without thinking, it must be to deal with this influence. Otherwise, it would be for no reason. Only a strong person in the Nascent Soul stage would do something like that if they were crazy.
But Murong Yue did not, and her realm had broken through to the early stage of pill formation, but she had never looked for him. Whether this is unaffected or whether other alternatives have been found is still unknown.
But there is one thing. The extremely indifferent look on the other side today is obviously abnormal. Somehow, it feels like things are not that simple.
After thinking for a while, he shook his head secretly, no matter what the situation was, the soldiers would just come and cover it up with water and earth. Today, I am no longer what I used to be. Even if I face the lover, I will not be at the mercy of others.
…
The next day, Mo Juren, who had just walked out of the room, suddenly stopped and looked towards the valley not far away. There, a slender figure was carrying a wooden bucket, watering the nearby exotic flowers and plants from time to time.
At this time, Master Lingqing does not look like a lofty immortal cultivator, but like a mortal flower farmer working hard. When matched with the other party's extremely simple dress, it looks more natural and appropriate.
Mo Juren couldn't help but be surprised, you, a cultivator of immortality, have so much magic power, do you need to go to such trouble? Or is there some other purpose for doing this?
Anyway, he didn't believe that the other party was just cultivating himself out of boredom, so he must have some intention.
He did not disturb the other party, but kept watching with leisurely time. The morning sun shone freely, casting a layer of golden light on the other party's body. She was like a fairy coming to earth, giving people a sacred feeling.
Time passed slowly, and Master Lingqing finally finished watering all the flowers and plants nearby, and then slowly walked back with the barrel. After entering the small courtyard, he calmly said:
"How's it going? Did you have a good rest last night?"
"I have a problem. I tend to have insomnia in strange places." Mo Juren shook his head slightly and replied seriously.
"I think you're not insomniac, but mad." Master Lingqing rolled his eyes at the other person and said angrily, "Do you think that after going through that incident with me, you can do whatever you want without any scruples?"
"I'm just telling the truth, are you angry?" Mo Juren was stunned, and then said, "Okay, I'll answer again, I slept soundly last night, thank you for your hospitality."
"Glib tongue." Master Liaoqing snorted coldly, but he was not angry. Putting down the barrel in his hand, he continued,
"I have done some research on the elixir last night. I have sorted out the refining method and the situation of various main and auxiliary elixirs in detail. Basically, there are no big problems. In the following time, , I still need to process more than thirty kinds of elixirs and materials in detail one by one, and I may need your help."
"I have no experience in handling elixirs. What should I do if I mess up?" Mo Juren was not just talking nonsense, but he was really worried that something bad would happen if he did so. After all, the materials were limited and it would be painful to waste anything.
"Who said I want you to help me deal with the elixir?" Master Lingqing smiled slyly and said,
"I asked you to help guard the alchemy furnace. I can only handle the elixirs."
"Look at the stove!" Mo Juren was dumbfounded, and even more speechless when he thought that he was actually planning to be a legendary 'fire-burning boy'. Are you sure you weren't deliberately trying to trick him?
"Alchemy is boring and complicated, especially the more top-level elixirs, the more they test the alchemist's skills and patience, both of which are indispensable. This period is not just about the early refining of various elixirs, but also the final refining process, etc. Nothing can be careless. Especially the control of the alchemy furnace, the change of the intensity of the fire, etc. are extremely important.
I also need to refine the elixir, and the 'important task' of taking care of the alchemy furnace will naturally fall on you. However, such a simple and trivial matter is nothing to the omnipotent owner of the Mo Building. "
"Thank you for the compliment." Mo Juren glanced at the other party speechlessly. Although his words were high-sounding and well-founded, he always felt that the other party just wanted to deliberately mess with him. But for the sake of refining the elixir, he couldn't refuse.
"Come with me." Master Lingqing didn't seem to hear the strangeness in the other party's words, and then walked straight towards a thatched house on the right,
Mo Juren didn't hesitate and followed closely.
However, the moment he entered the room, he was stunned, and a look of surprise appeared on his face involuntarily.
