Chapter 0170 Coincidental encounter with an old friend
Chapter 0170 Meeting an old friend by chance
After coming down the mountain, Qin Wushuang returned to the Xingluo Hall headquarters. The first thing he did was to go to the Qingyun Hall, the front hall, to pay homage to his master. There was still more than a month before the Laba Festival, so it was obviously a little early for him to go down the mountain now.
Therefore, Tan Zhongchi was a little surprised when he heard that Qin Wushuang asked for an audience.
"Haha, Wushuang, you look good. I haven't seen you for two months, and you seem to have gained a lot?" Tan Zhongchi said with a smile.
"Tell me, what have you gained?"
Qin Wushuang did not hide anything. Except for omitting some details about the man in black, he told everything truthfully.
The parts he omitted were the identity token of the man in black and the strange map. Everything else was also reported in detail.
After hearing this, Tan Zhongchi twisted his eyebrows and said to himself: "You went to Vientiane Valley and participated in the gambling competition. Someone threatened you, right?"
"Yes." Qin Wushuang didn't hide it either.
Tan Zhongchi's face turned livid: "These bastards are squeezing their fellow students. Do they really want to dominate the family?"
"Master, who are those people?"
"Who else could it be? Their biggest leader is the senior brother Wei you mentioned - Wei Yi! He comes from the main line of the main hall! These guys have always been exclusive to the other four lines, and they want to use up the resources of the entire Xingluo Palace.
It’s gone to the monopoly.”
"The main lineage of the main hall? Did all this come from the instruction of the main hall?" Qin Wushuang was a little unbelievable.
"As the saying goes, the king of hell has to deal with, but the kid is even more difficult to deal with. The main hall master himself is not like this. He is still relatively highly respected among the five main hall masters. His disciples and disciples prefer to occupy the top of the mountain and dominate. Wushuang, what do you think?
Among the core leaders, one is from our lineage. Can you guess which one it is?"
Qin Wushuang thought for a moment and asked, "Could it be that Senior Sister Zhou?"
Tan Zhongchi laughed: "How did you guess that?"
"Intuition, it all depends on intuition. This disciple feels that this Senior Sister Zhou is more approachable."
"Well, don't underestimate your intuition. For those who are naturally strong, their intuition can sometimes be very keen. Wushuang, in this retest of the Wu Tong Trial, your Baiyue Kingdom's results are not very satisfactory."
"Oh?" Qin Wushuang's heart moved. He has always been concerned about this matter. Hearing what his master said, he couldn't help but worry, "Wouldn't it affect his promotion to a high-grade subordinate country?"
"That's not the case, you alone are enough. Everything else is the icing on the cake. This time, apart from you, there are only six people in your Baiyue Kingdom who are favored by Xingluo Palace. And some other middle-grade subordinate countries,
There are nearly ten quotas. The Wu Kingdom, which is adjacent to your Baiyue Kingdom, has contributed thirteen quotas this time. Therefore, it has also been promoted to a high-grade subordinate country!"
Qin Wushuang smiled bitterly, thinking that the battle between Baiyue Kingdom and Wu Kingdom seemed to have to continue. He originally thought that Baiyue Kingdom would be promoted to a high-level subordinate state, surpassing Wu Kingdom in status, and would be overwhelming from now on.
Advantages, I didn’t expect that the great Wu State is also very competitive!
What he is now concerned about is whether there are people he is familiar with among the six places in Baiyue Kingdom. But thinking about it, his hope should be relatively slim.
In addition to the Qin family, Baiyue Kingdom has four major royal families. Although King Chimu has perished, there are still three major royal families. The children of the three major royal families occupy at least three places.
For the other three spots, the martial arts boys from the entire Baiyue Kingdom have to fight for them. People like Da Xiyang and Tong Yan probably have very little hope.
At that moment, I couldn't help but ask: "Master, I don't know which martial boys from our Baiyue Kingdom entered the Xingluo Palace?"
Tan Zhongchi smiled bitterly and said: "I really haven't paid much attention to this teacher. Anyway, those martial arts boys are not very qualified, and their potential is difficult to meet the expectations of a teacher. It seems that they have been selected by the elders of Xingluo Palace. You have time to ask around.
Ask around. But Wushuang, when you get to Xingluo Palace, you should be thinking about the entire Great Luo Empire, not the original small vassal country."
"Yes." Qin Wushuang also felt that it was rude to say this in front of the master.
"Wushuang, you have collected so many inner elixirs from primary spirit beasts, but you want to refine the innate primary spirit elixir?" Tan Zhongchi suddenly asked.
"This is what my disciple has in mind." Qin Wushuang raised his eyebrows, "May I ask Master, which branch of our Xingluo Palace is better at refining alchemy?"
"No one is good at it!" Tan Zhongchi said simply and sighed, "Everyone wants to practice and constantly make breakthroughs in martial arts. For things like alchemy, everyone wants to wait until it is cheap and let them learn by themselves, but
None of them are happy."
"Huh? In this case, our huge Xingluo Palace must not have an alchemist, right?"
Tan Zhongchi sighed: "Of course it is not the case. Currently, the best alchemist in Xingluo Palace is from the lineage of Dharma King Lihuo. Among the eight Dharma Kings, only Dharmawang Lihuo is the best at refining elixirs. The disciples of his lineage
, are also diligent in alchemy. It’s just..."
"Just what?"
"It's just that King Lihuo has a very weird personality and is not easy to deal with. If you want to find him to refine the elixir, it will take some trouble."
"Since he is the Dharma King of Xingluo Palace, it is natural for him to make elixirs for the disciples of Xingluo Palace. At worst, he has to pay some commission." Qin Wushuang was very surprised. Is it still necessary to go through troubles to find the Dharma King of our sect to refine elixirs?
"Haha, Wushuang, you put it lightly. Even if we, the master of alchemy in the Five Halls, need to say good things to him, let alone you junior disciples. Things are rare and precious, and the shortage of alchemists makes them even more precious. Wushuang, you
There are eight inner elixirs. Even if you use five with different attributes to refine the best innate primary spirit elixir, there are still three left. These three are enough to refine six to ten innate elixirs with five attributes.
It is complete, and the refined innate primary spirit elixir is of the highest quality and unparalleled. I will give you one for my master at the right time, do you mind?"
Tan Zhongchi chuckled, looking like he was in the autumn wind.
Qin Wushuang laughed dumbly: "It is natural to respect your master."
Tan Zhongchi nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, you first go to Lihuo Palace to pay a visit to Dharma King Lihuo. If he is willing to take action, the success rate of the elixir can be said to be 100%. Five inner elixirs with different attributes will at least be enough.
Refining ten top-quality primary spiritual pills. If I leave them to mediocre hands, I’ll be thankful that I can get three of them for you!”
When refining elixirs, one also pays attention to the success rate of elixirs. For someone as generous as Dharma King Lihuo who refines the innate primary elixir, he is naturally overqualified and unlikely to miss, so the success rate of elixirs must be high.
But if it's a novice or even an apprentice, that's another story.
"Then the disciple will go to the Lihuo Palace first, and then come back to visit the Master."
"Well, you go and test it out first. If it doesn't work, I will put on my old face and talk to the Dharma King Lihuo in person."
Qin Wushuang said goodbye and went out, heading towards the Lihuo Palace.
Lihuo Palace is located directly south of the overall building periphery of Xingluo Palace.
The overall building of Xingluo Hall presents a three-dimensional outer spiral shape. The outermost periphery is the place where deacons and elders have their duties. The place where deacons live is called "Deacon Hall", and the place where elders live is called "Elder Pavilion", forming the outer periphery. A layer of guard.
The next floor is the palace of the Eight Dharma Kings. They are arranged according to the eight trigrams, namely Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen and Dui, which symbolize heaven, earth, thunder, wind, water, fire and mountains. ,Ze.
The Lihuo Palace belongs to fire and is located due south, so the Lihuo Palace was built in the south direction.
These eight Dharma King's Palaces surround and guard the five main halls, forming a situation like stars looming over the moon. Finally, the main hall stands out and the main hall towers into the clouds, which is very grand.
Qin Wushuang left the front hall and walked for a while before arriving at the Lihuo Palace area. This Lihuo Palace is the territory of Dharma King Lihuo and is the first alchemy site in the Xingluo Palace, so the environment is relatively quiet.
Qin Wushuang approached the door and saw a young man, holding a broom and sweeping listlessly. It was already winter, and the leaves were withered and piled up, so it was not easy to clean.
The young man was waving the broom, obviously feeling a little depressed. He took the broom to the ground to vent his anger before continuing to sweep.
Qin Wushuang couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the young man's back.
He almost thought he had made a mistake. This young man turned out to be Tong Yao's younger brother Tong Yan, the young martial boy who had successfully advanced through cheating with Qin Wushuang's help.
Why is he here?
Or maybe he is one of the six martial arts boys in the Baiyue Kingdom? Qin Wushuang thought to himself and shouted loudly: "Brother Tong?"
Tong Yan was originally in a depressed mood. When he heard this shout, he turned around in surprise and saw Qin Wushuang standing at the door of Lihuo Palace with a smile on his face. He couldn't help but be stunned, and then his face showed a look of ecstasy!
"Brother Qin!" He threw the broom away and strode over to grab it. The scene was like meeting a long-lost brother.
"Brother Qin, you..." Qin Wushuang looked at the Lihuo Palace and then at Tong Yan's servant equipment, feeling very puzzled.
Tong Yan smiled bitterly. He was originally a person with very strong self-esteem. When he was selected by Xingluo Palace, he thought at first that his career would be smooth and his fate would take a big turn. Unexpectedly, two months into his career, the only thing he had to do was sweep the floor.
This made this self-respecting young man extremely depressed. If he hadn't been worried that this was the Xingluo Palace, he would have just slapped his ass and left.
When Qin Wushuang asked, Tong Yan smiled bitterly and sighed: "I don't know if I am lucky or destiny. I thought that if I was selected by the Xingluo Palace, I would be able to flourish and prosper and honor my ancestors. But I didn't expect that I was destined to be a servant. I know this..."
"Who selected you?" Qin Wushuang asked curiously.
"Dharma King Lihuo! Who else would torture people like this except that old pervert?" Tong Yan murmured softly, "The old man said that when you enter Lihuo Palace, you must first sweep the land for half a year. Once you have done the sweeping, go and do some harvesting. Medicine boy, if you don’t sweep well, you’ll have to sweep again for another year.”
Tong Yan frowned and sighed.
Qin Wushuang comforted him and said: "Brother Tong, you don't have to be discouraged. I heard that although Dharma King Lihuo has a bit of a weird personality, he is an expert in Xingluo Palace. He must have deep meaning in doing this. Maybe he is the disciple of the opposite sect. What about a test and refinement of one’s character?”
Tong Yan was stunned and suddenly fell into thinking.
