Chapter 220： Deja vu

Two days later, the three major families, including the royal family, reached an agreement to jointly expel the Crystal Palace monk from Sanjia Island. At the same time, Bi Zhenren and other three real people announced on behalf of the North League that Crystal Palace was unpopular in the North League’s sphere of influence and demanded that the Crystal Palace monks return to their home immediately. Martial art.

Although the 36-member team of Crystal Palace was originally composed of late-stage hemolysis cultivators is not weak, and there is no definite evidence to prove that the Crystal Palace cultivators are related to the trade fair, they dare not violate the agreement of the three real people of Sanjiadao. Although these monks have repeatedly emphasized that the trade fair has nothing to do with the Crystal Palace and pulled out the strong sign of the Crystal Palace, now the Sanjiadao monks have clearly determined that the Crystal Palace monks are plotting on Sanjia Island. The Crystal Palace monks have no choice but to withdraw from Sanjia Island and return to their own school. .

After the Crystal Palace retreated, Wang Yishan, the eldest son of the Wang family, also left with him. It is said that he recommended a real person to the Crystal Palace as a direct disciple.

The situation on Sanjia Island changed. On the surface, the Wang family was suppressed, and the North League declared its suzerainty status. However, the Crystal Palace finally placed a chess piece inside the North League through the Wang family, and changed its own power into the North League. Sphere of influence.

At the same time, although the Wang family’s strength is slightly inferior to that of the Zhang family, it is not easy for the Zhang family to occupy the absolute position of Sanjiadao with the support of the North League. Therefore, the Li family became the target of the Zhang family. The family made a promise. Although the Li family seemed to remain neutral in Sanjiacheng as always, they began to part ways with the Wang family, and secretly began to flirt with the Zhang family, and the previous embarrassing position in Sanjiacheng eased a lot.

The changes in Sanjiacheng did not affect Lu Ping's preparation of seven-step pattern pill.

Just when Lu Ping was about to retreat to practice alchemy, he received another invitation from Li Maolin.

When Lu Ping came to the reception room of the Li family again, besides the father and daughter of Li Maolin, there was a female nun playing with a jade pendant, looking at Lu Ping who walked in with a trace of scrutiny.

Li Maolin pointed to the unfamiliar female nun and introduced with a smile: "Brother Lu Jiu, this is the daughter of a good friend of the old man in his early years. He is called Chu Ting. He has not seen him in decades. I don't want the old man to be destined in his early years. With the inheritance of an alchemy master, it is even possible to refine half-step pill-forging pill now. Old friends have women like this. I feel very relieved!"

Lu Ping was taken aback, leaned slightly, and said, "In Xia Lu Jiu, I have seen Miss Chu!"

Out of courtesy, Chu Ting got up from her seat to meet Lu Ping. After the two of them were seated, Li Maolin just wanted to say something, but Chu Ting first asked: "I don't want Brother Lu to be able to refine his cultivation just after he has reached the late stage of hemolysis. The half-step forging the elixir period pill is really admirable."

Lu Ping could hear that Miss Chu said that although she was polite, her tone was inherently arrogant. She wanted to be another monk from a noble background, so she calmly replied, "It's just a fluke, it's not worth mentioning!"

Obviously Chu Ting didn't care about Lu Ping's perfunctory, but continued to ask: "Dare to ask what kind of half-step pill elixir Lu brother has refined?"

This was a bit abrupt. Lu Ping glanced at her but didn't answer.

Li Maolin hurriedly said: "The difficulty of refining the seven-step pattern pill is no more than that of the elixir forging pill, and the spirit grass needed to refine the seven-step pattern pill is extremely difficult to find. My Li family has collected it for several years. Reluctantly enough to make up four furnaces, it is related to whether the girl can smoothly enter the alchemy period, the old man has to be cautious. These four furnaces of elixir Lu brothers refine two furnaces, and Chu Ting's niece refines the other two furnaces. You only need to refine a seven-step pattern pill, what do you think of it?"

Lu Ping naturally knew that this was because the Li family distrusted him somewhat. After all, the Li family invited himself to come, relying more on their own guesses. Compared with this, Li Maolin's old friend's daughter is obviously more trustworthy.

As an alchemist, Lu Ping naturally has his own arrogance. He stood up quietly and said: "Since Patriarch Li can't trust him, he has hired Gaoming alchemist. The matter of refining the pill will be withdrawn. It's just these seven. The prescription of Buwen Pill has been recorded in Zai Xia's mind, and Shu Zai Xia can't return it."

Lu Ping said this very seriously, and Li Maolin was a little flustered, but after all, he was a real person, and he immediately weighed out the advantages and disadvantages. Once today's matter comes out, I am afraid that there will be no alchemist coming to Li's house in the future.

All the alchemists are proud to die, and at the same time conservative and extremely paranoid group. If Lu Ping is directly driven away by Chu Ting today, in the eyes of the alchemists, Lu Ping is just because of his inferior skills and deserves to be ashamed, but if it is because of Li The family hired a Gaoming alchemist and disliked Lu Ping's alchemy. Then not only would the Li family be hostile by 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 clearly heard of this through hundreds of years of experience. She hurriedly stood up, stopped Lu Ping, and said, "Brother Lu It’s not that the old man doesn’t trust his brothers, it’s that whether the little girl can advance to the forging period is of great importance. Brother Lu wants to come to understand the situation on Sanjia Island these days. The Li family is weak. If there is no more real person, I might not be able to. Have a foothold on Sanjia Island."

Lu Ping saw that Li Maolin was like this. Knowing that a real person could do this, it would be enough to save his face. Besides, he also took other people's seven-step pattern pill recipe. It was a bit unjust to leave, so he followed the steps. Coming down, he said: "Since Patriarch Li said so, the juniors are not ignorant of good and bad, they should do their 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 making seven-step pattern alchemy.

After Lu Ping left, Li Xiuzhu asked in a puzzled manner: "Father, since Senior Sister Chu has arrived, I'm just guessing about Lu Jiu's alchemy, and I haven't seen him personally. He will leave if he wants to, why bother his father. Stop him, if this person is just a deceitful person, wouldn't it be a pity that two furnaces of spirit grass have been scrapped?"

Li Maolin shook his head and explained some of the rules he knew about alchemists one by one. Although he explained it to Li Xiuzhu, he was actually listening to Chu Ting.

After Chu Ting listened, she put the jade pendant in her hand on her waist and muttered: "No wonder the teacher repeatedly asked her niece to meet an alchemist before leaving. Thinking of it, the mystery is here."

Li Maolin shook his head and said, "This person may not be good at alchemy. Since this person came to Sanjia Island, the casual cultivator in the city often asked him some spiritual herbs. He answered them one by one, and he has never encountered it. The spirit grass that you don’t know shows 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 hard to see the strange spirit grass. It's not too difficult to see all of them."

Despite what Chu Ting said, there was still a little less arrogance and more seriousness on her face.

Li Maolin did not pay attention to Chu Ting’s words, and continued: “Moreover, this person is very mysterious. Human cultivation is not necessarily the seventh hemolysis, Zhuer, you may not be his opponent."

When Li Xiuzhu heard his father's words, he said in disbelief: "How can it be, doesn't it mean that this person will be a monk in the alchemy period?"

Li Maolin heard the words and said solemnly: "Nonsense! Does Zhu'er think that he has no rivals among the monks in the hemolysis phase? You are probably not even your Senior Sister Chu opponent, right?"

Li Xiuzhu knew that he had said something wrong, but he was still somewhat unconvinced, but he heard Chu Ting say thoughtfully: "Indeed, Junior Sister Li wants to come and remember the 57th cultivator at the trade fair? This person is superb. , I’m afraid that I’m not even her opponent. Originally, Sister Sister, I thought that person must be a real person who had sealed his cultivation base. Now when I think about it, I feel that this person is a bit like this Lu Jiu. No wonder that after seeing this person, some The feeling of deja vu."

Li Maolin was shocked when he heard the words, and asked the same question: "Is this true?"

Chu Ting shook her head and said: "I can't be sure, but it feels a little like. That person was extremely cunning and didn't leave the slightest flaw about himself. UU reading can crack even the imprint of God's mind, and That person should also be good at a concealment technique that lowers his own cultivation level. This is also the basis on which I once suspected that he was a real forging pill."

Li Maolin said: "It's a pity that you couldn't meet with Master Chu's nephew at that time, otherwise you would not let that person get involved in the surviving monks in a mess. Can you be sure that your identity was not discovered by that person?"

Chu Ting thought about it for a while and said, "It shouldn't be there. At the moment when the cloak was broken, I had already covered my face with cloud gauze, and the person who wanted to come would not notice it."

The Li family's alchemy room.

Lu Ping had made up his mind that no matter whether the seven-step pattern pill was successfully refined or not, he would leave Li's house as soon as possible. Lu Ping did not expect that the participant in the attack on the underground trade fair was actually the Li family, and the one just now Chu Ting was the 72nd monk who fought against Lu Ping.

On that day, Lu Ping and Brother No. 72 fought twice. Although Lu Ping used the Qinghan sword to cut his cloak, the opponent's reaction was also very quick. For a moment, he covered his appearance with a layer of gauze, and only let Lu Ping. Learn that this person is a woman.

However, when Lu Ping met Chu Ting, he saw that the jade pendant she was playing with was exactly the same as the jade pendant on the waist of the 72nd monk that day, and Lu Ping also asked about a peaceful and distant fragrance.

This scent is very familiar to Lu Ping. It is a rather elegant scent that monks only have after taking Baihua Dan. Although the scent of Baihua Dan can be changed according to the different preferences of the monks, as an alchemist, the fragrance Whether it came from Baihua Pill, it was naturally known by smelling it, not to mention that Chu Ting did not change the scent, which was exactly the same as the scent exuding from the body of the 72nd monk that day.

The cloud gauze covered the appearance and the breath, but failed to cover the monk's body fragrance. This is probably the smell of a woman!
