Chapter 28: The Wind and the Clouds
City Lord's Mansion!
Commander Guo knelt on one knee, and in front of him stood a middle-aged man wearing a purple robe with a lowered expression.
"Lord City Lord, you must decide for us, we were all deceived by that little brute, not a waste at all."
Crying his nose, the first grade guards of the City Lord's Mansion came back with torn clothes, the other guards had wounds on their necks, the other party was showing mercy.
"What you said is true?"
Canglan City Lord, real name Qi Enshi, had managed Canglan City for more than twenty years.
"A thousand times true, they can all testify."
Ten guards kneeled outside the hall, not qualified to come in, their right hands still covering their necks, this is shame.
"Father ......"
From behind the curtain of the mantle, a man and a woman came out, the woman was younger, twenty fangs, and there was an old man in his fifties with a hawkish nose and a raw face.
The woman's name was Qi Ningyun, Qi Enshi's youngest daughter, who had worshipped at the Imperial Academy two years ago, and the old man standing with her was called Zhao Yuanjia, a senior tutor at the Imperial Academy, whose status was not as good as Baili Qing's, but was not low either.
To be able to worship under a tutor's door, the talent was not ordinary, most of the Imperial Academy students, had to rely on their own cultivation, without a strong background to support them, among the academy, it was difficult to move an inch.
"Yun'er, how is the Yin Evil Qi in your body?" Qi Enshi changed his face and asked with concern.
"It's not a big problem for now, and I have to thank Master, who came all the way from Imperial Capital City and specially sent a Nine Yang Fruit." Qi Ningyun finished speaking and bowed towards Zhao Yuanjia.
This time, when he went home to visit his family and traveled to the Sunset Mountain Range to practice, he encountered a powerful Yin Scorpion Beast attack and was poisoned by Yin Evil, which could only be treated by a medicine that was the strongest and most masculine.
While sending people to scavenge for the most rigid and yang medicines in Canglan City, he traveled day and night to the Imperial City to inform his mentor, Zhao Yuanjia, and finally cleared the Yin Evil Qi, and rested for a few days without any major problems.
"Many thanks to Teacher Zhao, a great favor is not appreciated, tonight I will hold a large banquet to receive Teacher Zhao." Qi Enshi hurriedly bowed.
As the Canglan City Lord, he himself was at the first level of the Marrow Cleansing realm, and he still fell into the lower echelons compared to the Imperial Academy's tutors.
"City Lord Qi has a good heart, Yun'er is physically ill, so of course I cannot stand by as a mentor."
Being respected was still very flattering, Zhao Yuanjia stroked his beard in the manner of a worldly superior.
"Father, what did you just say about waste?"
Qi Ningyun was born with a seductive look, danfeng eyes, not very ugly looking, cheekbones without meat, lips like thin knives, at a glance, it was the kind of person who was acerbic and mean.
Guo commander hurriedly knelt over, the things that happened during the day, recounted once and for all, Qi Ningyun eyes showed a hint of surprise, Xu family flunky big name, she is also very clear, two years did not come back, actually changed so much.
"Lord City Lord, when has our City Lord's Office ever suffered such a loss, if we don't exterminate the Xu family, where is the majesty of the City Lord's Office."
Commander Guo added more fuel to the fire, which also mentioned how Liu Wu Xie had insulted the City Lord Mansion, a purely false matter, in order to be able to avenge his hatred, he would stop at nothing.
"The Xu Family? I heard that Baili Qing also came to Canglan City, it seems like it was for a Xu Family woman." Zhao Yuanjia suddenly interjected.
He had left Imperial City together with Baili Qing, and the two had crossed paths on the way.
"That's right, it's this Xu family, I just received news that the Xu family girl has followed Baili Qing to leave Canglan City and enter the Imperial Academy early to train."
How could Qi Enshi not hear that Commander Guo had added fuel to the fire, and that not having bought the Nine Suns Fruit had boiled down to offending the City Lord's Mansion.
"Father, then what did you plan next, is this matter just going to be forgotten!"
Qi Ningyun's face showed a cold fury, fortunately, her master had arrived in time to save her life, this Xu family's superfluous son-in-law had disregarded her life and death, refusing to give up the Nine Yang Fruit, making her a little irritated.
"Forget it?" Qi Enshi let out a cold laugh, after so many years, no one had dared to hit his Qi Enshi's face, this was the first time, how could he let it go.
"Then what should we do, the Xu family girl entered the Imperial Academy, with Baili Qing taking care of her, killing her family seems inappropriate."
Qi Ningyun's mouth corner showed a trace of murderous anger, the City Lord's position must not be shaken, this is about her presence in the academy, the family has a background, the academy will be taken seriously.
"Three days ago, this punk offended the Wan family and the Tian family in the coliseum, after January the Xu family will remove themselves from Canglan City, no need for us to take action, the Wan family has flattered the Xue family, it's most appropriate for them to take action."
This information had long been spread to the City Lord's Mansion, intending to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
Baili Qing was a female devil, temperamental, hell knows if he would relocate his anger to others for the sake of the Xue family.
The best way, sit back and watch the tigers fight.
Everyone nodded, Zhao Yuanjia also agreed with Qi Enshi's suggestion, it was better if Baili Qing could not be offended, this devil woman was too scary, the devil's name had long spread throughout the Great Yan Dynasty.
......
Xu family courtyard!
Liu Wu Xie's eyes were staring at the Dan furnace, there was only one chance and he couldn't miss it.
He had immense trust in his own alchemy, at this moment, he was a little nervous, afraid of failure.
The Wan family's tightening, the Tian family's coercion, the Dan Bao Pavilion's coercion, the City Lord's Mansion was like a sword hanging over his head, an outsider tearing up the marriage contract in front of him, a series of strikes, none of them were able to break him down.
The dan fire was strong, and his palm released a rich Qi of Tai Desolate, manipulating the flame and wrapping the entire dan furnace.
The Nine Yang Fruit and the Red Spirit Grass, completely dissolved, the other materials had been successfully purified a few days ago, only waiting for these two herbs.
Time passes, Liu Wu Xie's body is wrapped in sweat, too late to wipe, hands suddenly lifted the lid, fierce flames, into the interior of the furnace, this is the last step, forging.
Normal alchemy, rarely let the Dan fire enter the furnace, it was too risky.
He was only at the Houtian realm, unable to refine out a third grade elixir, so he could only take a chance.
The rich fragrance of the Dan, filled the entire small courtyard, two crystal clear pills, in the flames in the middle of the shuttle, every hammering, the medicinal effect will be purified a few points, inside the impurities, constantly be eliminated.
Hands sealing, a large number of spirit lines, into the pills, spirit lines can not only be used for pills, can be used for weapons, can also be used to carve talismans.
After engraving the spirit lines, the elixir possessed an extremely strong spirituality, emitting a dripping rotation.
"Collect the elixir!"
The flames suddenly disappeared, and the dan furnace quickly cooled down, utilizing the true qi wrapping, the two Vein Renewal Pills fell into the palm of his hand.
"Success!"
At this moment, the corners of Liu Wu Xie's eyes were a little moist, the heart veins were renewed in order to do more things and accelerate cultivation.
Taking the pills, he returned to the house, needing to close his eyes for a period of time, with the help of the Vein Renewal Pills, he would break through the Innate Realm in one fell swoop.
Xu family hall!
Hu Shi walked in with his weapon in hand, unable to suppress the excitement on his face.
Xu Yilin these days for the matter of weapons workshop white a lot of gray hair, weapons workshop business day by day is not as good as a day, almost can not make ends meet, do not make changes, without the Wan family to make a move, the Xu family itself will collapse.
"Family master, these are the newly refined weapons, please take a look!"
Hu Shi brought in a whole ten pieces of weapons, wrapping them in green cloth so as not to give them away, and the pedestrians didn't know what he was holding.
Recently, the family's expenses had shrunk severely, and many guards resigned from their positions in the Xu family and switched to the other three families, leading to the Xu family's status, which was getting lower and lower.
"Hu Shi, you've worked hard, put it here first." Xu Yilin waved his hand, letting him put it down first.
Recently, the Arms Workshop masters had all taken a break, only Hu Shi was still drilling new refining techniques, and he had been ridiculed by many in the past few days, believing that he was too insouciant, a small refining apprentice, what advanced refining techniques could he have drilled out.
"Family master, you might as well take a look."
The master gave him three days to drill out a new weapon refining technique, almost sleepless, with dark bags under his eyes, but his eyes were very bright, unable to suppress his inner excitement.
The performance of Hu Shi in recent days, Xu Yilin saw in his eyes, focusing on cultivating him, stepped down from his position, drew out a long sword, a ray of cold aura bursting out, accompanied by a hint of sword qi overflowing.
"This ......"
Wrapped in a green cloth just now, covering the coldness along with the sword qi, the moment he drew it out, it released a stern aura.
"What a sharp longsword, it even possesses a hint of spirituality!"
The longsword in his hand swung down, the distant table and chairs were split into pieces, wounded by the sword qi, the quality of this longsword, infinitely close to the level of a spiritual weapon, only Thousand Refined Steel could do it.
"Hu Shi, where did these weapons come from."
Xu Yilin grabbed Hu Shi's shoulder, the Xu family simply couldn't refine such high-level weapons, much less believe that it was Hu Shi who refined them.
"It's what I refined in the past three days."
Hu Shi was very naive, scratched his head that looked like a chicken nest, three days without bathing, there was a trace of stench on his body, but Xu Yilin didn't dislike it at all.
"What!"
This time it was Xu Yilin's turn to be shocked, he relied on his weapon refining technique to gain a foothold in Canglan City, Hu Shi's weapon refining technique, even he couldn't understand it anymore, it was far beyond the normal refining technique.
"Hu Shi, did you drill these weapons yourself?" Xu Yilin was so excited that he grabbed Hu Shi's shoulder and asked urgently.
"This is not true, it was someone who imparted it to me, telling me that within three days, I must drill it out."
Hu shi was a little nervous, the first time he was so close to the family head, he was an ordinary refining apprentice, relying on his father to work as an errand boy in the Xu family, he only managed to get this position, earning a small amount of gold coins every month.
"Quickly say, who taught you the art of weapon refining, I want to thank him properly in person."
Must find this person, get this refining art, Xu family will definitely soar, earn a large amount of gold coins, in order to buy resources, train elite guards, face the coercion of Wan family and Tian family, only then have a chance to survive.
"He ...... he won't let me tell the others."
Hu Shi stuttered a little, that day Master said that what happened should not be divulged.
"Then is he in Canglan City?"
Xu Yilin revealed a trace of consternation, secretly helping the Xu family, who could it be?
"In, right here in our Xu family, if it's fine, I'll go back first, trouble the family head to give this sheath to your aunt." After saying that, he carefully took out a fine knife sheath from his bosom.
Hu Shi was afraid that he would slip up in a moment and hurriedly turned around to leave, his character was too straightforward, Xu Yilin would definitely speak up as long as he applied some pressure.
"Hu Shi, you are now our Xu family's chief refiner, what do you need, just open your mouth, I will fully cooperate with you, the Xu family's refining room, the next depends on you."
Xu Yilin was decisive, a hint of realization flashed in his eyes, he seemed to have guessed something, he was not yet sure.
