After dealing with the two warlocks guarding the gate, Jiang Wuji finally entered the gate of Star Reaching Tower.
At the same time, I also learned more about the Star Reaching Tower.
To put it simply, the Star Reaching Tower is divided into four branches: medical skills, alchemy, formations, and heavenly secrets, which correspond to doctors, alchemists, formation masters, and heavenly masters respectively.
Each branch has a direct disciple who teaches and performs his duties on weekdays. Poachedan is considered the little boss of the alchemy branch.
From the mouths of the two people outside the door, Jiang Wuji also got the contempt chain of Zhaixing Tower.
Doctors despise alchemists and feel that medical skills are the way to people's livelihood, but alchemists despise them.
Formation masters despise doctors and believe that birth, old age, illness and death are natural laws. If they want to control life and death and compete with God, they can only use formations.
Heavenly Master: Listen to me, everyone here is rubbish.
Physician Alchemist Array Mage: Haha, magic stick.
After passing through a pig and sheep pen, the two finally arrived at the alchemist's yard. A plaque at the door had four golden characters - Midas Turns Stone into Gold.
It's finally here, Poached Egg, don't let me down... Jiang Wuji sighed in his heart, and just as he took a step, a white-clothed warlock happened to walk out of the yard.
The four eyes looked at each other for only three breaths.
"Brother Jiang?!"
"Brother Jiang, why are you here? Come on, come on, look at my gold." The other party said as he took it out.
Duck doesn't have to... However, before Jiang Wuji could say anything, there was a sudden commotion in the courtyard, and one alchemist after another swarmed out like a rough guy seeing a beautiful woman.
"Brother Jiang! Look at my gold, I just got it!"
"Brother Jiang, is this the hydrochloric acid you mentioned last time?"
"Why can't I melt gold even after mixing gallium water and hydrochloric acid?"
"Me too, could it be that my gold is not pure enough?"
"..."
Jiang Wuji wanted to give each of them a mallet.
Oh my gosh, look what you all said...
"Everyone, please be patient and don't be impatient. Please be patient and don't..."
"Can you let me in first?"
"..."
Selective deafness, right... Jiang Wuji squeezed to a desk and picked up an instrument that he didn't know what it was used for. It looked similar to a long-mouthed loophole.
Then give the thing to a wise man.
"Use this and stand three feet away from the candle. After blowing it out, I will take a look at your... um, gold."
"Huh? Really? Brother Jiang, wait a moment, I'll go blow it right away."
The man did as he was told, holding the thin end of the hole in his mouth and pointing it at the candle three feet away.
"=3——Pfft~"
The candle flickered but did not go out.
"yeah?"
"Ah poof~"
"It can't be blown away? It's really useless. I'll do it!"
"yeah?"
Soon, the attention of these alchemists was attracted by the "inextinguishable" candle.
Jiang Wuji, who successfully escaped from trouble, looked around and finally found the little rich woman in front of the carved sandalwood window on the second floor. Bah! Found Miss Zhu.
The poached egg looked like he had just woken up, stretched out sleepily, and when he saw the handsome face below, his eyebrows lit up with joy.
"Huh? Why are you here?"
Jiang Wuji smiled and bowed, and said in a gentle voice: "Didn't you, girl, ask me to come and sit in the Star Picking Tower when I have time? Haha, I'm here to say thank you."
"Thank you? Are you talking about the heart armor?" Zhu Yao pursed her red lips, her little mind still bright.
"Exactly, this thing..."
"Oh, you don't have to be polite. I stole that thing from my second senior brother. It's just a magic weapon. You came here to say thank you. It's true."
Just one piece of magic weapon?
Is this the charm of a rich woman... Jiang Wuji's mouth twitched.
Poached Egg: "What are they doing? Blowing out candles?"
Jiang Wuji: "Oh, you brothers are studying the principle of air pressure. Well... we will talk about this later. I have something to ask the girl for help."
"Looking for my help?" Zhu Yao tilted her head.
As an alchemist who was directly passed down by the Imperial Master, the two things of Wang Shui's gold-melting and gold-raising made her feel like she couldn't stand up in front of Jiang Wuji.
Now seeing Jiang Wuji asking for something from her, his attitude was very enthusiastic.
"Come up and explain in detail."
"Okay..."
On the second floor, there is an open-air tea room.
Zhu Yao brewed a flower tea slowly and let Jiang Wuji and Lin Xiushan taste it.
Why does this scented tea taste fishy? Oh, it smells like rust, that’s okay...
"What's wrong?" Zhu Yao asked.
Jiang Wuji drank the tea in the cup and said seriously: "Since I am asking for something, I won't beat around the bush. Can you, girl, subdue a grandmaster?"
"Grandmaster." Zhu Yao rolled her big black eyes: "A mere grandmaster, this girl can be crushed to death with just one word."
? ? ? , it doesn’t look like it, don’t talk nonsense...
At this time, Lin Xiushan on the side laughed and said: "Haha... Miss Zhu is looking down on us martial artists."
"What? You still don't believe it? I am no match for a grandmaster outside the Star Reaching Tower, but here, what does a mere grandmaster mean?"
Oh, Territory Buff, that’s it.
Jiang Wuji sighed heartily and continued: "Young lady should know that I was assassinated on Tianshui Street, right?"
"Yeah~" Zhu Yao nodded: "That day was also the first time we met."
Very good, this will be our anniversary... Jiang Wuji temporarily suppressed the thought of eating soft food and continued: "Someone set a trap last night and wanted to kill me..."
"Ah? Because of the financing case?" Zhu Yao opened her mouth to express surprise.
Damn, there are four tiger teeth, and they are very sharp. If you are not careful, this will hurt you to death... Jiang Wuji sighed: "Nine times out of ten, it's because of this case. After all, ten thousand taels of gold can do so much." If it’s too much, the better houses in the outer city only cost five thousand silver.”
"Then you come to me...Oh, I don't know how to investigate a case."
Zhu Yao backed down, not because she was unwilling to help, but because she really didn't know how to investigate the case.
If she could destroy these brains, she would have made a difference in alchemy long ago. How could she be like this now...
"I don't want the girl to investigate the case..."
Jiang Wuji stood up, walked around the table and slowly walked towards Zhu Yao.
"Huh? What is that?"
"I want the girl to help me deal with the thief."
"Yeah? Do you know who the murderer is in the financing case?"
No, I don't know, but I know who the inner ghost is... Jiang Wuji nodded.
Seeing this, Lin Xiushan quickly asked: "Who is the thief? I will take someone over right now!"
Jiang Wuji stood calmly behind Zhu Yao, his right hand quietly holding the handle of the knife at his waist.
"Please Miss Zhu take action and help me capture the thief Lin Xiushan!"
"?!"
One sentence shocked two people.
Zhu Yao's little head was spinning around, and she had no idea where to start eating this melon.
Lin Xiushan was even more confused and asked in disbelief: "Wuji, do you know what you are talking about?"
Jiang Wuji sneered, stretched out a finger and pointed at Lin Xiushan opposite.
"The scheming frog keeps touching your belly! Stop pretending, Lin Xiushan, why do you think I brought you to the Star Reaching Tower!"
"The real mole in Fengtiansi is you!!!"
Lin Xiushan staggered a step, his voice trembling.
"Your adoptive father and I are brothers who have lived through life and death. I have watched you grow up, and now you suspect that I am a traitor? Are you out of your mind and crazy!"
The rich woman posted... Faced with Lin Xiushan's question, Jiang Wuji leaned closer to Zhu Yao, and then asked questions in a leisurely manner.
"You set up a trap to harm me last night because I was wearing a heart armor. Even if the master takes action, he can't guarantee a one-hit kill, right?"
"If you miss it, the streets will be full of night watch sword holders, and you will be in a dilemma. Grandmaster's cultivation is hard-won. I think even you don't want to take this risk, right?"
"That's why you set up a trap and replaced it with something that seems troublesome but is actually more reliable..."
"That's nonsense!" Lin Xiushan's eyes were about to burst, and bloodshot eyes quickly spread.
However, in response to Lin Xiushan's denial of life and death, Jiang Wuji suddenly raised his arms, making a sound like a bell.
"You arranged the banquet at Piaoxianglou. During the banquet, I kept drinking from my own cup, except for one time when it didn't work. It was you who drank from me."
"I originally agreed to go to Jiaofangsi after drinking, but for the first time, you asked me to go back and spend time with my wife."
"I don't know who is behind the financing case, but the ghost in Fengtian Division mentioned by Snake Wangyue is you!"
"Lin Xiu Shan!"
"!!!"
The words just fell.
"bass--"
The golden sword was unsheathed, and a cold light suddenly appeared.
The Grandmaster's energy was like a strong wind passing by, instantly blowing over the heavy tea table!
At that time, Jiang Wuji shouted in a hissing voice: "Miss, please save...save, save...ah?!"
Zhu Yao, who was petite and cute and claimed to be able to crush the master with just one word, was blown away by the strong wind.
Jiang Wuji's complexion suddenly turned pale.
He brought Lin Xiushan all the way to the Star Reaching Tower just to use the power of the Star Reaching Tower to subdue him.
After all, it is very likely that Fengtian Si Jindao did not trust his own judgment because of his friendship with Lin Xiushan, plus Fathead Yu was not around.
As a result, this trick is foolproof to "invite you into the urn".
The poached eggs just flew away? She just flew away?
"Jiang~wu~ji~"
"Save me~~~~"
The floors are high and people who can fly when the wind blows are likely to break a few bones if they fall down.
He brought Lin Xiushan, and Zhu Yao was unreliable, so he couldn't really watch someone fall to death.
Seeing the poached egg flying past his eyes, Jiang Wuji immediately took a step forward and hugged it tightly.
Between the firelight and the electric stone.
The cold light slashed down.
"laugh--"
