Seeing that it was Peach Blossom Girl, Wu Sheng was surprised: "Why are you here?" It had been nearly half a year since they had been separated that day. He thought it would be difficult to see each other again, but unexpectedly she came back today.
Peach Blossom looked anxious and said, "Is anyone following you?"
Wu Sheng shook his head: "No. What happened? Don't be anxious, speak slowly."
Peach Blossom Girl took a deep breath and said: "Since last month, I have felt someone following me, but I don't know who it is. I feel... there is a pair of eyes, always staring at me, or maybe someone is right next to me. Behind, not far away... I can't sleep well at night, and I can't meditate during practice. I... I don't know what's going on, and I don't know where Boss Shi is, so I have to come to find you..."
Wu Sheng frowned and asked, "Did you find anything?"
Peach Blossom Girl shook her head: "I can't tell... I just feel like I'm being watched. Do you think it's possible for us to do what we did..."
Wu Sheng interrupted her: "Where did you go after we parted?"
Peach Blossom Girl said: "Xiangcheng, I am from the state of Chen. I have a house in Xiangcheng."
Wu Sheng asked her: "Returning home in rich clothes?"
"What clothes? I didn't buy any clothes."
"Did you reveal your wealth? Spending money lavishly or something like that."
"No, I know what to do. I have spent all my savings these days. Our... money is all buried in the ground. I am thinking about it, and I will wait for three years. I don't even dare to buy new clothes!"
"Where's the stuff?"
"It's still buried in the ground at home, seven feet deep."
"Did you still feel like you were being followed on the way here?"
"It's good to leave Chen State. I have been very careful. I took many detours and went to many places. After entering Langshan, it disappeared."
It is more than 200 miles from Chen Guoxiang City to Langshan. Many places are plains. Even if someone is following and watching, it will be easy to detect. But it's still unclear whether the so-called stalking is Peach Blossom's hallucination.
The sudden arrival of Peach Blossom Girl put Wu Sheng in a dilemma. If someone really targeted Peach Blossom Girl, the chaos in Langshan would undoubtedly be an excellent hiding place. If he fled rashly, he might be caught outside. But if I hide here honestly, will there be any clues about me as time goes by?
It was difficult to make a decision for the moment, so I could only comfort her: "Live here for a while, and then we'll talk about it."
Wu Sheng took action, built a temporary bed for Peach Blossom Niang, and let her live in the secret cave. These days, he wandered around in the mountains until the Lianpu market opened, and went to the market to wander, but No suspicious person was found.
I came back and talked to Peach Blossom, and Peach Blossom gradually relaxed. She slept more soundly in the past few days, became calmer during practice, and her speech and behavior returned to some of her past demeanor.
But this time it was her turn to tip off Wu Sheng. She told Wu Sheng that while he was leaving, Yan Bosou sneaked into Songzhu Yayuan and poked his head around, not knowing what he was doing.
After Wu Sheng got the news, he immediately rushed to Shipu Terrace to ask for a meeting with Taoist Mai Yi.
"Taoist, I want to purchase a magic circle. I hope Taoist can help me."
Taoist Mai frowned: "Why do you suddenly think of this?"
Wu Sheng counted on his fingers: "When I went down the mountain five days ago, Mr. Yanbo sneaked into Songzhu Yayuan while I was away. Today at noon, he took advantage of me to go to Lianpuji and did it again. I don't know what he is going to do." , but twice before and after, I lost eight magic weapons."
Taoist Mai asked curiously: "You mean, he stole your magic weapon?"
Wu Sheng said: "I dare not say that he stole it. I have no solid evidence, and I will not be charged just because of speculation. But now it seems that it is best to have a magic circle to cover the door for me, otherwise I will lose more. It’s hard to tell for precious things. By the way, I wonder when the next season’s Butian Pills will be refining? Can my reward be exchanged for a magic circle?”
Taoist Mai Yi went to Shenyin Peak to report the matter: "...I questioned Yan Bosou, and the old man admitted to going to Songzhu Yayuan. He said he wanted to know how Songzhu made the Butian Pill in five days, but he denied stealing it. He lost the magic weapon. No matter what, I asked him to pay three gold coins to compensate Songzhu."
Master Shenyin Peak muttered: "Songzhu wants the magic circle, find a way to give it to him, don't let the small things cost the big money, and also... let the smoke be restrained, don't miss my important event."
Taoist Mai nodded: "It's just that the news has been very tight recently, and purchasing the magic circle may attract attention. I have inquired, and even if there is a way, the price has already been doubled."
The Lord of Shenyin Peak said: "It doesn't matter, we can't handle this matter, and it's impossible for him to work with peace of mind."
A few days later, it was time to start making alchemy again. Taoist Mai prepared the materials and sent them to Songzhu Yayuan. Wu Sheng asked about purchasing the magic circle. Taoist Mai replied: "The magic circle is ready, but you have to get it this time." Refined in two furnaces.”
He also took out three pieces of gold and gave it to Wu Sheng: "Yanbo knows he was wrong. This is the money he will pay you. He promised not to trespass into your Songzhu Garden again in the future."
Wu Sheng curled his lips: "He always knows he is wrong... How many days will he ask for this time?"
Taoist Mai replied: "Fifteen days."
There are still the same materials in the box, slightly more than last time. Seven copies can be prepared, the furnace can be opened seven times, and two elixirs can be made into two pills after seven turns. The requirements are still quite high, but Wu Sheng still did it, and saved two more copies. The material is fed into the storage finger.
Taoist Mai gave him half a month, but Wu Sheng only used nine days to show off his advantages in alchemy. He asked Taoist Mai: "Did the Butian Pill refined by Mr. Yanbo produce any elixir?"
Taoist Mai Yi remained calm and did not say anything.
So Wu Sheng said again: "As I see it, you might as well give me his share of materials. I promise to be faster than him and have more information than him. How about that?"
Taoist Mai remained silent, threw a set of sixteen array disks to Wu Sheng, and left with two Butian Pills.
Peach Blossom Girl came out of the cave and asked Wu Sheng, "What does it mean that he doesn't speak?"
Wu Sheng said: "Of course they don't agree. They would rather waste materials and time than hope that only one person in Langshan can make elixirs."
Peach Blossom Girl curiously smelled the residue in the alchemy furnace: "What kind of elixir is this? Does Senior Shenyin value it so much? By the way, when did you learn how to make alchemy? With this skill, how could you be so stingy in the first place?"
Wu Sheng waved his hand: "Stop asking...go and clean the alchemy furnace."
Peach Blossom Girl obediently went to clean the alchemy furnace, and then asked: "If you are the only one in Langshan who can make alchemy, will Senior Shenyin and Taoist Mai think more of you?"
Wu Sheng warned her: "Don't mess around, maybe people will become angry."
Peach Blossom Girl curled her lips, cleaned the alchemy furnace, and threw it back to Wu Sheng. She sat on the stone pier in a daze for a moment, and then suddenly said: "Zhaohe father-in-law... and Shimen, is there any news about them..."
"I've been to many places these days, but I haven't heard anyone mention it..."
"They should be fine, right?"
As he was talking, everything in front of him suddenly shook. The cliffs, waterfalls, deep pools, and pine and bamboo forests all seemed to be covered with a layer of transparent gauze. This layer of gauze gradually disappeared after a while.
Wu Sheng sighed: "The Nine Nether Six Mansion Formation is indeed a good magic formation. No wonder I need two spiritual pills. They are almost as good as the middle grade magic formation... I really want to eat it..."
Peach Blossom Girl nodded: "I'm going to cook..."
Wu Sheng grabbed her and made a few strokes on the ground: "Do you know what this is? Where can I get the silk books, bamboo slips... or jade seals that record this?"
Peach Blossom glanced at the handwriting on the ground: "What?"
Wu Sheng was very disappointed: "Never seen it?"
Peach Blossom Girl shook her head: "What the hell is a talisman? What's it for?"
Wu Sheng smoothed the handwriting with his foot: "Forget it, just ask."
Peach Blossom Girl didn't pay attention, her eyes were confused: "Shimen..."
Wu Sheng said: "Peach Blossom Girl, forget about Shimen. It will be good for everyone."
