"Brother Ye, where is the killer?" Hong Bin ran up and asked.
"Let her escape." Ye Xiong replied.
"Thank you so much brother this time. If it weren't for you, my sister would definitely be murdered this time." Hong Bin said gratefully. "By the way, how did Brother Ye know that a killer would come?"
Ye Xiong had already thought of an excuse, and said immediately: "I happened to be passing by here, and suddenly I remembered that I said I wanted to visit Mr. Hong last time, but I never had time. Now it's just the right time. Who knew I would run into the murderer as soon as I came here."
This excuse was very weak, but Hong Bin couldn't ask again.
Hong Bin asked his men to continue searching for the killer's whereabouts, and then returned to the Hong family compound with Ye Xiong.
As soon as he entered the yard, Hong Xue came over and expressed his gratitude. Ye Xiong responded politely.
"By the way, where did Senior Hong go?" Ye Xiong asked directly.
"My father went to Tianmen to discuss matters, and he hasn't come back yet," Hong Xue replied.
"That's it. That's a pity. If that's the case, then I'll visit again next time." Ye Xiong made an excuse and ran away to save them from asking endless questions and not knowing how to deal with it then.
"Brother Ye left so quickly, why didn't you stay and sit for a while?" Hong Bin quickly came over to stop him.
"Mr. Hong is not here..."
"He's not here, but we brothers and sisters are here, let's have a good time together."
Hong Bin couldn't help but pulled Ye Xiong into the house.
Unable to reject the warm welcome, Ye Xiong had no choice but to follow him in.
"Sister, bring out the good wine from the jar at home, and Brother Ye and I will have a good drink." Hong Bin ordered.
At that moment, Hong Xue went inside to get wine, and soon came out with a jar of wine.
As soon as Hong Bin opened the bottle, the fragrant aroma of wine came out.
Now I can't run away at all.
Ye Xiong had no choice but to sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman.
Both of them had a good capacity for drinking. After drinking for more than an hour, they finished a jar of wine in a daze.
Even though Ye Xiong drank a lot, he was a little drunk.
"I'll go back first and drink when I have time." After Hong Bin finished speaking, he staggered back to his room.
"Mr. Ye, I have asked someone to prepare a private room. Please come with me."
When Ye Xiong and Hong Bin were drinking, Hong Xue had been sitting next to them. She did not disturb the two of them while they were drinking, nor did she leave. She just sat quietly, like a well-maintained lady.
Ye Xiong followed Hong Xue and soon arrived in front of a room.
"Mr. Ye, thank you for your life-saving grace. Otherwise, I may have lost my life." Hong Xue said gratefully.
"I was just passing by accidentally. Thank you for your hospitality. Good night."
After Ye Xiong finished speaking, he quickly walked in without stopping for a moment.
Hong Xue is one of the three beauties of the ancient martial arts sect. She is very beautiful. He has not touched a woman for a long time, and he drinks so much. He is really afraid that he will lose control and do something embarrassing, and his reputation will be ruined.
.
Seeing the door being closed, Hong Xue sighed.
Isn’t it said that drinking can lead to sexual incest? How can he still remain such a gentleman?
Ye Xiong returned to the room, lay on the bed, and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Ye Xiong got up early.
Hong Bin was drunk last night and didn't wake up. How long will it take if he doesn't leave now? When he wakes up, he won't be able to leave.
Hong Xue couldn't keep her, so she had to send him out.
"Mr. Ye, do you know who the person who killed me last night was?" Hong Xue asked at this time.
"I don't know either." Ye Xiong replied.
Hong Xue didn't seem to believe it, but didn't ask.
After leaving Hongmen, Ye Xiong drove back to the city. Gu Yue had already checked out and left the room.
Ye Xiong regretted letting her go. Even if he didn't kill her, he would at least arrest her and ask for the whereabouts of Mr. Du. Now he wanted to seek revenge from Mr. Du, but he didn't know where to find him.
After returning to Jiangnan, Ye Xiong focused on alchemy.
Whether we can break through again and whether we can lead a group of subordinates to increase our strength depends on these pills.
The alchemy room was built in a very secluded place. Only He Mengji, Shen Richu and Ye Xiong knew about it, but no one else knew about it. In this way, the safety of the elixir could be ensured. After all, this was something that even cultivators wanted very much.
Ye Xiong drove to the alchemy room. When he went there, it was steaming inside.
After entering, I found a triangular alchemy furnace as tall as a person placed in the middle, burning inside.
He Mengji was sweating profusely and looking at the fire, sometimes frowning, sometimes thinking, looking serious.
Inside the alchemy furnace, a strong medicinal smell came out.
"How is it?" Ye Xiong walked in and asked.
"Shen Richu found a recipe for Peiyuan Dan. I am trying it now, but it has failed many times." He Mengji replied.
Only then did Ye Xiong realize that there were several waste elixirs placed on the table next to him. They were either broken or burnt, or they had insufficient firepower and were incomplete products.
The method of refining elixir is very simple. First, find the elixir recipe, mash the elixir and auxiliary medicine into mud according to the formula and proportion of the elixir recipe, add it to the specified mold, and then put it in the furnace to heat and shape.
The difficulty is that the heat is very difficult to control, and the hot spots of each elixir are different. Some elixirs lose their medicinal properties if heated for too long, and the medicinal properties cannot be fully integrated into the elixir if they are heated for a short time.
This is a technical job, a new field, and cannot be learned in a short time.
"I found that refining alchemy is more difficult than learning medical skills. There are too many tricks, and each elixir has different characteristics." He Mengji wiped the sweat from her forehead and said helplessly: "If I had known this, I wouldn't have agreed to help you make it." This thing, I'm going to be really worried about it these days. I have to take care of the company's affairs, and I have to come here to practice this damn thing when I have time."
"Thank you for your hard work. When the elixir is refined, your strength will definitely increase greatly." Ye Xiong said with a smile.
"Shen Richu came here yesterday and saw that I wasted so many elixirs and felt very distressed."
Seeing that she wasted so many elixirs, He Mengji felt quite guilty, because she heard from Shen Richu that these elixirs were extremely valuable, and she didn't know how many cultivators were eager for them, but she wasted them like this.
"Alchemy is just about burning elixirs. Don't worry, I can afford to waste it."
Although he said this, Ye Xiong felt extremely distressed in his heart.
In just a few days, He Mengji had already wasted seven or eight thousand-year-old ginseng. Ginseng is the most important medicine of the Peiyuan Pill. This is the elixir that he and Murong Ruyin exchanged for their lives. The two of them picked it for only four people. Fifty plants, it would be strange not to feel distressed.
Although he felt distressed, he did not dare to say it for fear of damaging He Mengji's confidence.
If you really can't refine it, you'll have to go to the secret realm on the Holy Peak to fight for your life again.
In the next few days, Ye Xiong ran to the alchemy room every day to check on the progress.
Seeing the thousand-year-old ginseng being wasted from eight, to ten, to fifteen, to twenty plants, Ye Hongxin was bleeding, but he had to pretend not to care. This feeling was really unpleasant.
During the trial period, He Mengji kept records every day, trial by trial, and then recorded them on paper.
The elixir Shen Richu found was an ancient furnace. It was different from the homemade furnaces today, and the fire was also different, so he had to try it little by little.
After a full week, when almost half of the ginseng was consumed, I finally succeeded.
Looking at the elixir furnace, a smooth and black elixir was placed there, shining brightly, and its appearance was similar to the realm-improving elixir I had taken before. Nine times out of ten, it was successful.
Ye Xiong was so excited that he suddenly hugged He Mengji and kissed her hard on the face.
