Ming Zhiyuan and Yu Qingfeng kept refining the elixir in the alchemy room until they came out in the evening.
Yirou had already placed food on the stone table in the courtyard. Ming Zhiyuan sat on the stone bench and looked at the food on the table. He turned around and saw Ouyang Xingzhong leading two disciples not far away.
"Uncle Master is here, let's eat now."
Ouyang Xingzhong was not polite and sat directly next to Ming Zhiyuan. While picking up the chopsticks, he said: "There are not enough medicinal materials. We don't have many alchemists. They are refining the elixirs day and night. Many medicinal materials are already lacking."
Already."
Ming Zhiyuan picked up a bun and nodded while eating it, saying: "There are many rare medicinal materials, and the Yu family's storage is not enough. After all, it is only a martial arts family, and our alchemy master sect came too late and was not prepared enough.
I have asked Butler Yu to collect as much as possible, but now many warriors from Qingji Continent have sneaked into Jiuyan Continent, often plundering and killing caravans. Yu's main state is not far from the border of Qingji, close to the oasis here
The trade between the two countries is about to be cut off, so we have to find a way."
There are nearly four hundred martial arts disciples of the Yu family. In order to help the Yu family's warriors improve their martial arts realm, almost all the alchemists in the Yu family's main state have been refining elixirs continuously since the Battle of Demon City.
Baihua waited in Yan's Zhongzhou until the other martial arts families arrived, arranged the affairs those families needed to do, and then followed them to the border of Qingji.
As soon as Ming Zhiyuan returned to the main state of the Yu family, he asked Feng Wu to deliver a batch of elixirs to her, including those for healing and cultivation, and filled a large bag full of them.
Baihua needs to command the martial arts families on the border to build city walls and defend the city. He also needs to prepare some elixirs in his hand, not only for his own use, but also for gifting to those martial arts families, which can reconcile some conflicts.
...
More than a hundred miles away from Yu's main state, there is a small uncultivated oasis. The oasis is usually not taken care of and is just a resting place for passing travelers or caravans.
When the former head of the Yan family sent people to plunder Yu's main state, he used this place as a gathering point.
Nowadays, the caravans and travelers who take this trade route on the Jiuyan Continent are always attacked and plundered by warriors from the Qingji Continent. There are no caravans and travelers who dare to go this way.
At this time, there were four or five men who looked like high-quality warriors gathered on the small oasis.
"There has been no news from Lu Wuzun for three or four days. I wonder if he missed something?"
"It shouldn't be a mistake. We have inquired and found out that there are only a few Martial Emperors in the master's mansion and no Martial Lord is in charge. We are guarding here and have not seen any Martial Lord realm warriors enter their main state. Lu Wuzun has already reached the intermediate level of Martial Lord.
At this level, several martial emperors simply cannot keep him."
"That?"
"If there was no mistake, how come we haven't seen him meeting us in the past few days?"
"Perhaps, they are lurking secretly in that main state?"
"Perhaps he suddenly gained enlightenment on martial arts, so he may not be able to practice in hiding. It is not easy to gain enlightenment in the martial arts realm. Lu Wuzun will definitely not let go of the opportunity to gain enlightenment and practice."
"But, it's been a few days..."
Several people discussed for a while, and finally, a warrior with a long and terrifying scar on his right face said: "Don't make random guesses. Lin Xuyang and I will go for a run tonight to see what's going on there. You continue."
Hide until we come back."
Another warrior nodded and responded: "That's it. I still don't know what's going on with Lu Wuzun. Please don't act rashly these days."
The rest all nodded and said nothing.
In the main residence of the Yu family, Wu Shilin finally arrived at the Yu family. When he fell off Feng Wu's back and saw Ming Zhiyuan, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Brother Yuan, my trip this time was only delayed on the road.
.”
Since the civil strife broke out in the Yan clan, Wu Shilin gradually stopped calling Ming Zhiyuan his third brother. He seemed to feel that he was the only one who was sworn to Ming Zhiyuan.
Ming Zhiyuan also smiled helplessly along with him, "The Yu family is close to the border. This time Qingji Continent warriors sneak attack, there are actually Martial Master Realm warriors coming. I really have no choice but to ask you to protect me.
Wu Shilin nodded, looked at Yu Yizhi and his son who had just walked in, and said with some surprise: "My cousin has been promoted to Martial Lord?"
Ming Zhiyuan glanced at him. When Yu Lianwu was still Emperor Wu, he had always called him Family Master. Now that he had been promoted to the Martial Master Realm, he remembered that this was his wife's cousin?
Yu Lianwu, on the other hand, handed over his hand with a calm expression, "I was lucky enough to be promoted, thanks to the help of Master Zhiyuan's elixir. Otherwise, how much more time would it have taken in this Martial Emperor realm?"
Wu Shilin's eyes showed a look of envy, "This is the benefit of having a high-quality alchemist in the family. The martial arts will be smooth and you won't be shackled to the realm and waste time. This is what many warriors have dreamed of in their lives."
Yu Yizhi said with a smile: "Zhiyuan Alchemy Master is also the sworn brother of Shilin Martial Master, so he will definitely take care of Shilin Martial Master."
Wu Shilin turned back with a smile, looked at Ming Zhiyuan, and said: "How about it? Brother Yuan, just give me a message and I will be there right away. Based on the friendship between us brothers, if there are any good elixirs, you can't forget me.
.”
"That's natural. I've been collecting medicinal materials these days to refine some elixirs for warriors in the Martial Realm. I'll refine them as soon as I get them together. I'll definitely have them for you when the time comes."
Wu Shilin was a little surprised, "What? There is still a shortage of medicinal materials. Yu's family has so many oases to grow medicinal materials, is there still a shortage of medicinal materials?"
Ming Zhiyuan smiled bitterly and said: "General medicinal materials can only be used to refine some wound medicine, or to assist low-level warriors in refining elixirs. The elixirs for Martial Emperor and Martial Master level warriors require rare materials from heaven and earth.
precious.
Although the Yu family had some in the past, there were not many, and they have all been used up now. Now they want to buy them everywhere, but because warriors from the Qingji Continent often attack caravans, there are basically no people doing business here, so there are some
Medicinal materials are even harder to find.”
Wu Shilin's face also looked a little solemn, "It seems that the Qingji Continent is determined to attack our Jiuyan Continent, otherwise we would not let so many warriors come to our place to burn, kill and loot."
Having said this, he asked again: "I don't know what other precious medicinal materials Yuan brother needs. I have some treasures that have been collected for many years. If Yuan brother needs it, send someone to get it immediately. Anyway, you have flying beasts.
It only takes a few days to get it back."
"This? This is not very good. How can you ask for the second brother's collection? A gentleman will not take away the good things from others."
Ming Zhiyuan looked embarrassed and said hesitantly.
Wu Shilin waved his hand and said, "Hey, I have no use for those things. I just put them away. Why don't I use them to refine elixirs for my distant brother? I can still get some benefit from them, right?"
"That......"
Ming Zhiyuan glanced at Yu Yizhi intentionally or unintentionally, and Yu Yizhi hurriedly said, "Thank you, Master Shilin, come here. Please prepare a pen and paper and let Master Zhiyuan write down what medicinal materials are needed?"
Ming Zhiyuan and Yu Yizhi looked at each other and smiled. When the servants brought them paper and pen, they wrote down the names of more than ten kinds of medicinal materials. Finally, they also marked the names of all the medicinal materials. The more the merrier.
Wu Shilin stood aside, watching Ming Zhiyuan finish writing, and couldn't help laughing, "The more, the merrier? Brother Yuan wants to empty out my treasure."
After that, he took the page that Ming Zhiyuan had written, picked up the pen and wrote a few more words below.
Ming Zhiyuan saw what he wrote: All the medicinal materials have been transported, and he signed it with the character "Lin".
He handed the letter to a disciple of the Yu clan and asked Feng Wu to fly back to the main state of the Wushi clan.
Feng Wu was very dissatisfied. He kept running back and forth. He stood in the courtyard, looking angry, tilting his head and just staring at Ming Zhiyuan. He said in a sweet voice: "I am the one running, why don't you let the pretty boy go?"
Run? I run every day and eat all the delicious food for it."
Ming Zhiyuan stepped forward and comforted him for a while, and promised to refine the elixir for him when he came back. If there was any errands to do, he would leave it to the handsome boy and let him run.
After soothing him for a long time, Feng Wu said angrily to the disciple of the Yu family: "Come up quickly and get the things back."
The disciples of the Yu family did not dare to say anything and quickly jumped on Feng Wu's back. Several people stood in the courtyard and watched Feng Wu flap his wings and take off, flying farther and farther.
Wu Shilin watched with interest and said with a smile: "Brother Yuan, the flying beast of your alchemy sect really has a bad temper."
Ming Zhiyuan turned to him and said: "This is not a riding beast, but a fellow disciple and a brother."
When Wu Shilin heard this, his face instantly became dull, "Fellow disciple? Brother? Distant brother, are you kidding me?"
Ming Zhiyuan shook his head, "In my sect, we never treat them as riding animals. They are all my brothers."
Wu Shilin looked at Ming Zhiyuan and saw that he didn't seem to be joking. He also understood something and said: "Brother Yuan has a sincere heart."
Ming Zhiyuan just smiled and suddenly remembered Ling Dang'er and Bai Ling'er from Saintess Mountain. At that time, he also thought that they were riding beasts, or his senior brothers told him that they were all from the same sect. They relied on each other during the war and risked their lives for each other.
Guarding brother.
Looking back and seeing Wu Shilin's somewhat amusing look, he didn't explain much and just said: "Second brother, someone has already prepared a banquet. Let's have a few drinks together."
Wu Shilin clapped his hands together. "That's right, drink and drink. It's been a long time since you and I, brothers, drank together."
That night, Yu Yizhi and his son did not go to practice. They stayed with Ming Zhiyuan and Wu Shilin, drinking together in the main hall of the back mountain courtyard.
After a few people drank for three rounds, Ming Zhiyuan began to ask the three martial arts masters some questions about martial arts practice.
Wu Shilin once gave Ming Zhiyuan a set of family body skills. Because it was not an internal skill and mental method, it did not match the internal skills and mental skills that Ming Zhiyuan practiced. Therefore, Ming Zhiyuan practiced it for a long time and could not understand it.
Wushilin drank very happily and wanted to demonstrate it for Ming Zhiyuan himself.
He walked out of the main hall and rested for a while in the courtyard. Then he nodded his feet slightly and swam around the courtyard like a snake.
The three of them saw Wu Shilin's footsteps moving like a ghost. He walked very fast without making any sound, and his movement was so soft and strange that it was strange.
Ming Zhiyuan stared blankly at Wushi Lin, who was wandering endlessly in the yard, his figure in a trance. He did not expect that such a burly man, using this body technique, would be as smooth and elegant as a willow tree.
.
When Wu Shilin saw Ming Zhiyuan's surprised look, he felt a little complacent and wanted to open his eyes again. Then, he moved faster.
For a moment, he jumped up quickly in the courtyard like a black shadow. As the speed increased, he actually stepped on the courtyard wall and started walking. No one could see how hard his feet were. It was like a black shadow illuminating people.
Walked straight up to the roof.
Ming Zhiyuan opened his eyes wide. He had never thought that a person could walk on an absolutely steep and smooth wall like a gecko.
Wu Shilin walked to the roof, stepped on a warped eaves, glanced at the three people below, and was about to explain the wonders of this movement to Ming Zhiyuan, when he suddenly saw two people on the roof of the courtyard in the distance.
The black shadow just jumped down into the courtyard lightly.
"Someone."
Wushi Lin shouted loudly, and immediately the people leaped towards the courtyard like shooting arrows.
When he shouted, Yu Yizhi's father and son were both shocked. Yu Yizhi also jumped up and followed behind Wushi Lin.
Yu Lianwu didn't move, but stood by Ming Zhiyuan's side with a solemn expression. The two of them looked over there, filled with surprise and uncertainty.
