It turned out that the person was the girl in yellow who was criticized for setting up a stall in the market last night.

The two of them were stunned for a moment and couldn't help laughing at the same time. What a coincidence.

The girl in yellow asked: "Aren't you a friend of the city lord? Why do you live here?"

Yan Zixiu did not explain, but asked: "Can't the city lord's friends live here?"

The girl in yellow thought about it and realized that she was right. The city lord's friend lived wherever he liked: "I forgot to ask you your name yesterday. By the way, my name is Shuangqin." Before asking the other party's name, introduce yourself first.

"It turns out to be fellow Taoist Shuangqin. My name is Yan Ziling."

While they were talking, another person came out of the north room. He was a young monk. Although he was young, he had a beard and looked very powerful. He was at the seventh level of Qi training.

"Brother, this is the benefactor who helped me last night. He said his name is Yan Ziling."

"Oh, thank you so much, fellow Daoist Yan, for your help. My name is Zhilin, and Shuangqin is my sister." The bearded man bowed his hands in gratitude, and then said with a little fear, "Last night I went to help a friend refine weapons, and I was not in Fangshi. If

If it hadn't been for the help of fellow Taoist Yan, I'm afraid my sister would have been bullied by those bad guys. Then I would regret it."

"Fellow Taoist Zhilin, you're too polite. It's a trivial matter and not worth mentioning."

Zhilin said seriously: "It's a small thing for you, but it's a big deal for us brothers and sisters. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Yan has time in the evening. May I treat you to a meal?"

"How can you treat guests to dinner without me?" A male monk suddenly walked out of the east house. His eyes were bulging and his mouth was slightly protruding. He looked a bit like a toad. He was at the ninth level of Qi training.

Shuangqin, a girl in yellow, saw a trace of disgust in her eyes when she saw the toad monk, and turned around to go back to the north room.

Zhilin frowned and said, "Good morning, fellow Taoist Yuan Ji." He reluctantly said hello, but did not mention the meal.

Toad monk Yuan Ji stared at Shuangqin's back for a while, then turned around and said with a smile: "Is this fellow Taoist Yan a new neighbor? Haha, he is really brave, young and romantic."

Yan Zixiu sensed that this person had evil intentions and replied calmly: "Fellow Taoist Yuanji is too complimentary. Taoist friend Zhilin, I have a lot of things to do these days. Let's discuss the meal later." After saying that, he turned around and went back.

house.

Zhilin snorted and went back to the north room, leaving the toad monk alone.

…

After Yan Zixiu returned to his room, he opened the simple protective array, and inside the simple protective array, he opened the Ruyi protective array.

In this way, the internal and external breaths are double separated, so no matter how loud the alchemy is, it will not be heard outside.

He ate some snacks packed in Xiangzhang Ancient Town yesterday and started preparing to make elixirs.

Today he plans to practice Naqi Dan first.

Naqi Pill is the most common pill during the Qi training period and is very popular among monks.

There are fire refining method, water refining method, and wood refining method. Generally, the fire refining method is the most common. The middle-grade elixir furnace he bought is for fire refining.

Yan Zixiu took out the alchemy furnace from the storage bag and placed it gently on the jade floor. The alchemy furnace was four to five feet high and made of spiritual copper. Although it weighed several hundred kilograms, it had a certain foundation in Narayana Kung Fu.

For him, it was effortless.

You can put spiritual wood under the alchemy furnace and it will be the source of fire after being lit.

The refining of the Naqi Pill requires a total of one kind of spiritual water, three kinds of spiritual flowers and seven kinds of spiritual grass.

He took them out in the order they were put in and placed them on the right side. He also took out a small banana fan that came with the purchase of the alchemy furnace, which was used to control the fire.

After everything was ready, Yan Zixiu sat cross-legged on the futon in front of the alchemy furnace, rested his mind and thought for a while, and then quietly recalled the relevant records in the "Datang Alchemy Code" and the experience of alchemy in the Immortal Mansion.

After rehearsing it in his mind seven or eight times, he used the Object Control Technique to open the furnace lid, first used the Purification Technique to purify the alchemy furnace, and then introduced the spiritual water.

Then he put the spirit wood under the alchemy furnace, and said with one finger: "Fire Technique!" A flame shot out from his fingertips, igniting the spirit wood.

When the spiritual water in the alchemy furnace boils, Yan Zixiu puts in the spiritual flowers and herbs one by one. There is a certain time interval between each type of flowers and herbs.

After all the injections were made, a ball of liquid medicine gradually formed in the alchemy furnace.

Yan Zixiu closed the lid of the furnace, increased the flame, and at the same time continued to pour the magical energy into the alchemy furnace.

The liquid medicine is constantly rotating and floating in the furnace.

Feeling that time was almost up, he cast the last spell and shouted: "Condensation!"

However, there was a muffled sound and it failed.

When I opened the alchemy furnace, I saw a pile of black loose ash inside.

He was not discouraged. After cleaning the alchemy furnace, he calmly reflected on the process, summed up the gains and losses, and then continued practicing.

The second batch failed again.

Reflect quietly and continue.

The third furnace did not completely fail and became half a pill.

Yan Zixiu was quite satisfied, because according to the "Datang Alchemy Code", many novices would fail dozens or even hundreds of times before succeeding for the first time.

Therefore, many people cannot support it just by investing spiritual stones in the previous failure period. What’s more, there is also the psychological frustration when they fail again and again.

The fourth furnace, two pills were produced. This is a breakthrough progress.

Yan Zixiu became more and more calm.

In the fifth furnace, five elixirs were produced, one of which was a top-grade elixir. The amount of elixir was enough to make ten elixirs, and five elixirs equaled a 50% elixir-formation rate. This shows that he already has the qualifications of an alchemist.

From the sixth furnace to the seventh furnace, seven pills were produced, reaching the level of an alchemy master.

From the eighth to the ninth furnace, there are eight Cheng Dan.

Yan Zixiu's progress seems to be rapid, but you must know that he has the blessing of the immortal alchemy. That rich experience has already existed in his heart like a nectar initiation. So now he is equivalent to a master of alchemy reviewing his lessons again.

Okay, let’s stop here today. Yan Zixiu thought to himself.

He tidied up and walked out of the room: Oh, it's getting dark again. I actually spent a whole day practicing the Nine Furnace Pills.

I was so involved that I forgot about lunch. Go out and treat yourself.

Yan Zixiu came out of the small courtyard, but he didn't know where the snacks were. He was about to ask Hyacinth when he suddenly saw Zhilin and Shuangqin brother and sister coming from the front.

"Two fellow Taoists, are you back so early today?" Yesterday, one brother and sister went to refine weapons and the other went to work at a stall. They both came back very late. That's why Yan Zixiu asked.

"Fellow Daoist Yan, I have nothing to do today. The spiritual flowers and herbs we picked are sold out. Where are you going?" Zhilin asked.

"I'm looking for some snacks. Do you know where I can get them?"

"You've got to ask the right person." The girl in yellow smiled, looking very sunny, "My brother's favorite thing is to eat. There are no special snacks around here that he doesn't know about."

Zhilin smiled and said: "Haha, that's right. I originally said I would treat you to a meal, but that toad messed up the plan. This time, my wish is fulfilled. Come on, I'll take you to eat."

"Okay, since you are familiar with the place, I will bother you." Yan Zixiu felt that it would be much better than searching for it himself.

"Brother, why do you take him to eat and me?" Shuangqin pretended to be angry and raised his hand to hit Zhilin.

Zhilin quickly surrendered: "Don't say goodbye, I was wrong. No one dares to forget my sister."

…

Duyiwei is the name of a restaurant. It is located next to a small river, surrounded by willow shades, bamboo forests, plum trees and cherry blossoms. The environment is very quiet.

This restaurant is not big in scale, only a dozen or so people can fill it up.

Although the scale is small, the decoration is very high-end, and all are elegant rooms. Sandalwood tables and chairs, yellow wood chandeliers, red plum potted plants, and landscape screens all look very exquisite.
