Two days later, the three major families, including the Wang family, reached an agreement to jointly expel the Crystal Palace monks from Sanjia Island. At the same time, Bi Zhenren and other three real people, on behalf of the Northern League, announced that the Crystal Palace was not welcome in the Northern League's sphere of influence, and demanded that the Crystal Palace monks return to their homes immediately. sect.
The Crystal Palace team originally consisted of thirty-six monks in the late stage of hemolysis. Although the strength is not weak, and there is no definite evidence to prove that the Crystal Palace monks are related to the trade fair, they dare not violate the agreement of the digital forging alchemy masters of Sanjiadao. Although these monks have repeatedly emphasized that the trade fair has nothing to do with the Crystal Palace, and have pulled out the strong signboard of the Crystal Palace, but now the monks of Sanjia Island have clearly determined that the monks of Crystal Palace are plotting wrongdoing on Sanjia Island. The monks of Crystal Palace have no choice but to withdraw from Sanjia Island and return to their sect. .
After the Crystal Palace retreated, Wang Yishan, the eldest son of the Wang family, also left together. It is said that he was recommended to be a personal disciple of a real person in the Crystal Palace.
The situation in Sanjia Island changed. On the surface, the Wang family was suppressed, and the North Alliance declared its suzerainty status. However, the Crystal Palace finally placed a pawn inside the North Alliance through the Wang family, extending its own power into the North Alliance in a different way. sphere of influence.
At the same time, although the strength of the Wang family is slightly inferior to that of the Zhang family, it is not easy for the Zhang family to occupy the absolute position of Sanjia Island with the support of the Northern League, so the Li family has become the target of the Zhang family. The family promised that although the Li family remained neutral in Sanjia City on the surface as always, they began to part ways with the Wang family, secretly flirting with the Zhang family, and their previous embarrassing position in Sanjia City eased a lot.
The situation in Sanjiacheng was changing, but it didn't affect Lu Ping's preparation for refining Qibuwen Dan.
Just when Lu Ping was about to retreat for alchemy, he received another invitation from Li Maolin.
When Lu Ping came to the reception room of the Li family again, besides Li Maolin and his daughter, there was also a female nun playing with a jade pendant and looking at Lu Ping who came in with a scrutiny.
Li Maolin pointed to the strange female cultivator, and introduced with a smile on his face: "Brother Lu Jiu, this is the daughter of a good friend of the old man, called Chu Ting, and I haven't seen her for decades. Having received the inheritance from an alchemist, I am actually able to refine half-step alchemy pills now, my old friend has a daughter like this, I am very relieved!"
Lu Ping was taken aback for a moment, bowed slightly, and said, "I'm going down to Lu Jiu, I met Miss Chu!"
Out of politeness, Chu Ting got up from her seat to greet Lu Ping. After the two sat down, Li Maolin just wanted to say something, but Chu Ting asked first: "I don't want Brother Lu to be able to refine it just after reaching the late stage of hemolysis. The half-step forging alchemy pill is really admirable."
Lu Ping could hear that although Miss Chu spoke politely, her tone was inherently arrogance. Presumably she was a monk with a noble family background, so she calmly replied: "It's just a fluke, it's not worth mentioning!"
Chu Ting obviously didn't care about Lu Ping's perfunctory, but continued to ask: "May I ask what kind of half-step alchemy pill has been refined by Brother Lu?"
This was a bit abrupt, Lu Ping glanced at her, but did not answer.
Li Maolin quickly said: "The difficulty of refining the seven-step pattern pill is no less than that of the ordinary alchemy pill, and it is extremely difficult to find the spiritual grass needed for refining the seven-step pattern pill. It's just enough to make up four furnaces. It is related to whether the little girl can successfully advance to the alchemy stage. You only need to refine a seven-step pattern pill, what do you two think?"
Lu Ping naturally knew that it was because the Li family had somewhat distrusted him. After all, the Li family invited him here because they relied more on their own guesses. Compared with this, Li Maolin's old friend's daughter was obviously more trustworthy.
As an alchemist, Lu Ping naturally had his own arrogance, stood up quietly, and said: "Since Patriarch Li doesn't trust him, he invited Gao Ming alchemist again, I will quit the matter of refining alchemy, but these seven The formula of Buwen Dan has been recorded in my mind, I am sorry that I cannot return it."
Lu Ping's words were quite serious, Li Maolin was a little flustered, but after all, he was a real person, and he immediately weighed the pros and cons. Once the news of today's incident is known, I am afraid that no alchemist will come to the Li family in the future.
All the alchemists are a group of arrogant, conservative and paranoid people. If Lu Ping was directly driven away by Chu Ting today, in the eyes of the alchemists, Lu Ping deserved to be ashamed just because his skills were not as good as others, but if it was because of Li If the Li family hired a brilliant alchemist and disliked Lu Ping's alchemy, then not only the Li family would be hostile to the alchemist, but Chu Ting would also be isolated by the alchemist.
Chu Ting is obviously not familiar with these unspoken rules among alchemists. Although Li Maolin is not an alchemist, he has heard of it a lot through his hundreds of years of experience. He hurriedly stood up, stopped Lu Ping, and said: "Brother Lu Calm down, it's not that the old man doesn't trust brothers, it's really that whether the little girl can advance to the forging alchemy stage is very important. Brother Lu wants to understand the situation in Sanjia Island these days. The Li family is weak. It has a foothold in Sanjia Island."
Seeing Li Maolin like this, Lu Ping knew that a real person could do this, and it was enough to give him face. Besides, he also took someone else's Qibuwen pill formula, so it was a bit unfair to leave, so he followed the steps Coming down, he said: "Since Patriarch Li said so, this junior is not a person who doesn't know good and bad, so he should do his best."
Li Maolin was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered his servants to lead Lu Ping to the alchemy room, and at the same time sent two furnaces of spirit grass for refining the seven-step grain pill.
After Lu Ping left, Li Xiuzhu asked rather puzzled: "Father, since Senior Sister Chu has arrived, I'm just guessing about Lu Jiu's alchemy technique, and I haven't seen it in person. He can just leave if he wants to. Why bother?" Stop him, if this person is just a bully, wouldn't it be a pity to waste two furnaces of spiritual grass?"
Li Maolin shook his head and explained some of the rules about alchemists that he knew one by one. Although he was explaining to Li Xiuzhu, he was actually explaining to Chu Ting.
After Chu Ting finished listening, she put the jade pendant on her waist, and murmured: "No wonder the teacher repeatedly asked my niece to make good friends with the alchemist when she met an alchemist before she left. I thought it meant, but the mystery is here.”
Li Maolin shook his head and said: "This person may not be inexperienced in alchemy. Since this person came to Sanjia Island, casual cultivators in the market often asked him for some spiritual herbs, and he answered them one by one. I don't know the spirit grass, it can be seen that at least this person's alchemy foundation is quite solid."
Chu Ting thought for a while, and said, "These three islands are just a small area. I'm afraid it's rare for rare spirit grass to appear. It's not too difficult to recognize them all."
Even though Chu Ting said so, there was still a trace of arrogance and a trace of seriousness on her face.
Li Maolin didn't pay attention to Chu Ting's words, and continued: "And this person is very mysterious, I can't see through it. This person should possess the upper-level hidden secret technique, which can completely change his own aura. A person's cultivation may not necessarily be the seventh level of hemolysis, Zhu'er, you may not even be his opponent."
Hearing his father's words, Li Xiuzhu said in disbelief, "How can that be? Doesn't that mean that this person will be a monk in the alchemy period?"
Li Maolin said solemnly after hearing the words: "Nonsense! Does Zhu'er think that he has no opponents among the monks in the hemolytic period? I'm afraid you are not even your senior sister Chu?"
Li Xiuzhu knew that he had said something wrong, but he was still somewhat unconvinced, but Chu Ting said thoughtfully: "Indeed, Junior Sister Li still remembers No. 57 monk at the trade fair? This person's strength is superb , I'm afraid even I'm not his opponent. Originally, senior sister, I thought that person must be the alchemy master who sealed his own cultivation. Now that I think about it, I feel that that person is somewhat similar to this Lu Jiu. No wonder after seeing this person, some A feeling of déjà vu."
Li Maolin was shocked when he heard the words, and asked at the same time: "Is this true?"
Chu Ting shook her head and said: "I can't be sure, but it feels a bit like that. That person was extremely cunning that day, and he never left the slightest flaw about himself. He can even decipher the imprint of divine sense, and that person should be good at a kind of The hidden technique of lowering one's own cultivation level, this is also the basis for me to suspect that he is a Daoist alchemist."
Li Maolin said: "It's a pity that I couldn't meet my nephew Chu at that time, otherwise I wouldn't have allowed that person to take advantage of the chaos and get mixed up among the surviving monks. Can my nephew be sure that your identity has not been discovered by that person?"
Chu Ting thought about it for a while, and said: "It shouldn't be. The moment the cloak was broken, I had already covered my appearance with the veil, so that person wouldn't notice it."
Li's alchemy room.
Lu Ping has already made up his mind, regardless of whether the seven-step grain pill is successfully refined, he will leave the Li family as soon as possible. Lu Ping did not expect that the participants in the attack on the underground trade fair were actually the Li family, and the one just now Chu Ting is the No. 72 monk who fought against Lu Ping.
On that day, Lu Ping and No. 72 monk fought twice. Although Lu Ping cut his cloak with the Qinghan sword, the opponent's reaction was also very quick. In a moment, he covered his face with a layer of gauze, leaving only Lu Ping Knowing that this person is a woman.
However, when Lu Ping saw Chu Ting, he saw that the jade pendant she was playing with was exactly the same as the jade pendant on the waist of monk No. 72 that day, and Lu Ping also asked about a quiet and distant fragrance.
This kind of fragrance is very familiar to Lu Ping. It is a rather elegant fragrance that monks have after taking Baihuadan. Although the fragrance of Baihuadan can be changed according to the different preferences of monks, as an alchemist, the fragrance Whether it came from Hundred Flower Pills or not, one can tell by smelling it, not to mention that Chu Ting did not change the fragrance, which was exactly the same as the fragrance emitted by No. 72 monk that day.
The veil covered the face and the breath, but failed to cover the monk's body fragrance. This is probably the scent to know a woman!
