Zhou Lie's childhood was peaceful and peaceful.

That year, he became a disciple of Alchemist Chen in Yaolu, and his path to alchemy began.

The road to growth is always a bit harder.

The sun was shining brightly in the East Nine District, but he was not afraid at all, and he happily dug up the soil and pulled weeds.

It's really fun to grow spiritual grass. Watching it take root, sprout, and harvest when it's mature, he never gets tired of watching it.

The boring part is pharmacological knowledge.

That thing is like a heavenly book. Sometimes he can only get some useful knowledge by thinking about it in his head.

Despite being distressed, he still studied very seriously.

A qualified alchemist can overcome all suffering.

What he enjoyed most was that in the quiet night, with bright fire rising from his hand, he watched his teacher practicing the sword while mastering the eight methods of controlling fire.

The teacher's swordsmanship is very simple, with only one sword, but it has great power. He once asked that his sword power was to cut down the stars.

Cut the stars.

This is something that even the great immortals cannot do.

But for some reason, he felt that the teacher could do it, probably because he admired the teacher too much.

There is another person for whom he is very grateful.

Master uncle?

No, he likes to call him "Master's Wife". Like his teacher, she has been with him throughout his childhood, buying him clothes, cooking for him, and doing her utmost to provide him with basic necessities, food, housing, and transportation.

The stove in the Temple of the Heavenly King carries all the warmth of his childhood. The teacher, mistress and him are like a family of three, living a peaceful life of mortals.

This kind of time is really good, but it is destined not to be constant and unique.

Time passes little by little, leaving many traces.

If we want to put a limit on this period of time, it would be eight years.

"He has grown into a young man."

Chen Sheng looked at Zhou Lie and felt more and more how fast time was. He was a small one when he came, but now he is a tall and tall young man.

"It's as warm as jade, and its body is as fragrant as a pregnant woman. It already has the aura of an alchemist."

Luzhu nodded slightly. Zhou Lie had some aura from the alchemist of Yaolu. His face was like a jade, his body was tall and straight, and he had a gentle and gentle feeling.

Among them, there is Chen Sheng's credit, but she also has the credit of Feedou.

"Master Wife, I haven't started refining an elixir yet."

Zhou Lie's name was very smooth, and he had been calling it that way three years after the stove was built.

A true alchemist has successfully made alchemy in a furnace.

In this regard, he has been pressured by his teacher and refused to let go, so he could only lay a firm foundation in alchemy.

Therefore, every once in a while, he would secretly test the teacher to see if he could let go of this gap.

"I'll take you to pick out an alchemy furnace later, and you can try to be a real alchemist."

Chen Sheng automatically ignored the title of "Master's Wife". Over the years, he could not change the title of Zhou Lie, so he simply went with it.

Of course, he was aware of Lu Zhu's feelings after all, but he didn't know how to deal with it.

A person's immortality is destined to be lonely, but love is real and cannot be abandoned, so we can only let nature take its course.

On the contrary, Zhou Lie's question is too simple.

Over the past few years, the little guy's alchemy foundation has been very solid, and he can transform from an alchemy apprentice to an alchemy master.

"real?!"

Zhou Lie didn't expect that the surprise would come so suddenly. This time, the teacher would actually allow him to embark on the path of becoming an alchemist.

"Silly boy, would your teacher lie to you?"

Luzhu said with a smile.

She didn't want much, so she felt very happy just being able to be by Chen Sheng's side and having a son-like Zhou Lie.

Beishan gathering.

This is a small gathering in the outer gate. It occurs on the fifteenth day of every month and lasts for one day. Most of the people setting up stalls are alchemists, but there are also ordinary cultivators selling treasures.

Chen Sheng has been to Beishan gatherings several times to select some rare spiritual herbs, and he has gained a lot.

This time, he brought Zhou Lie and Lu Zhu with him.

"There is such a place at the outer gate."

Zhou Lie found it very novel. He was familiar with the Twelve Halls of Yaolu and the East Nine District where spiritual herbs were grown, but no matter how many places there were, he was very unfamiliar.

The main reason is that he is very interested in alchemy stuff, but he lacks interest in other things.

This Beishan gathering is undoubtedly very interesting to him, but this is the first time he has heard of it and he has never been to it.

"I didn't tell you before because I was afraid you would suffer."

Chen Sheng said carefully.

The people gathered in Beishan are all immortal cultivators from the Guangxiu Immortal Sect, but don’t think that you won’t be slaughtered if you have a friendship with the same sect. Veterans will not be soft-hearted when meeting raw melon eggs. A few years of practice will be enough to make a fool of you.

Already.

This time, if he hadn't led them, some people with weak minds would have stepped forward to teach Zhou Ling.

"The world of cultivating immortals is full of cunning."

Zhou Lie had the feeling of seeing the true nature of the world.

For eight years, he has been practicing with his teacher, and everything he sees is clean and clear, but he has forgotten that the world of immortality is cruel.

Even though he was from the Zhou family, a small immortal cultivating family, he had seen some bad things when he was a child. Naturally, it was even worse in the huge Guangxiu Immortal Sect.

"It's hard to persevere, but it's easy to fall, especially in the world of immortality where big fists mean the right thing."

Chen Sheng pointed out the essence of worldly affairs. Degeneration is justified, but being able to maintain one's nature and persevere in the face of disaster is the most rare thing.

Cultivate the Tao and cultivate the mind.

This is a rule of his own.

An alchemist of Chen Sheng's level is naturally not unknown at gatherings. Many stall owners know him.

"Alchemist Chen!"

A stall owner with a red face shouted enthusiastically: "What do you need?"

His stall is very large and has an abundance of spiritual herbs and other cultivation materials. It can be seen that he is a businessman with a solid foundation.

"Stallmaster Lin, do you have an alchemy furnace?"

Chen Sheng knew this stall. He once bought a precious spiritual herb from him, and the price was very reasonable.

Based on a chance meeting, he came over and took a look at the stall. He didn't see the alchemy furnace, so he asked directly.

At the Beishan gathering, these powerful stall owners have good stuff, but they may not be exposed.

"Alchemy furnace? Yes."

Stall owner Lin moved a wooden board under the stall and found a small alchemy furnace among the items inside.

This alchemy furnace is simple and elegant, with a faint light in the pure black. The word "Xuan Ce" is engraved on the body of the furnace, which is full of aura.

"Buzz!"

Chen Sheng took over the Xuance Furnace, injected a ray of mana into the body, and walked around smoothly without any stagnation.

Inspired by this, the alchemy furnace revived, flashing with a bright light, and the aura lingering at the mouth of the furnace, like a huge mouth of an abyss, capable of swallowing up all materials.

"How about it? I won't take it out until Master Chen comes over. After all, you are the one who knows the goods."

Stall owner Lin is very confident in this alchemy furnace. It is not a new furnace, but one that has been cultivated by an alchemist for decades. It has a rare aura of alchemy.

It was only a senior alchemist like Chen Sheng who was willing to take it out, hoping to gain some friendship.

If it were anyone else, an ordinary alchemy furnace would probably be sent away.

"Like it."

Although Chen Sheng thought the alchemy furnace was very good, he did not express his opinion and let Zhou Lie make the decision.

The alchemy furnace is similar to the sword in the hand of the alchemist. If the alchemist thinks it is not good, then even if ten thousand others think well of it, it is useless.

"like."

Zhou Lie still had good eyesight, and he also took a fancy to Xuance Furnace at a glance. When the teacher said this, he was completely satisfied even though he was not even a little bit reluctant.

"The stuff is good, so let's make a price."
