Fairy cage

Rosacea was easily killed, and Yu Lie's mind was also slightly dazed.

He secretly realized:

"Although this person is a low-ranking Taoist disciple, his fighting ability and alertness are not comparable to those of the Taoist disciples in the outer city, even compared to the Taoist boys in Blackwater Town. He has nothing to show for it. His true energy can only be used to refine a few pills."

This made Yu Lie realize a shortcoming, or disadvantage, of living in Daocheng.

That is, apart from being a little dangerous during curfew hours, the inner city has strict laws and is too safe. Living in such an environment, those who make alchemy can keep making alchemy, and those who draw talismans can keep drawing talismans. The life is a bit hard, but as long as you have the skills, the supplies you need daily can be exchanged for it.

Such an environment is excellent for Taoists who practice peacefully, and there is no need to be frightened. However, after being accustomed to living in such a comfortable environment, if I really encounter a fight of magic, even if my Qi is deep and my spells are powerful, I am still a weakling if I don't know how to use them and I am not proficient in them.

While Yu Lie was thinking about it, the voices in the medicine refining workshop, either against his will or sincerely, were still heard.

Yu Lie was thinking about it while negotiating with these people.

After a while, to Yu Lie's surprise, it was not the law enforcement ghosts and gods in the workshop who arrived first, but a few cold Taoist priests wearing Qianlin Chamber of Commerce Taoist robes who entered the workshop first.

As soon as several cold Taoists arrived, they sharply focused their eyes on Yu Lie. Without asking a word, they recognized Yu Lie as the murderer.

The visitor's attitude was not very good, but when the shopkeeper on duty of the big pharmacy came up to talk to him, and after a few words with him, he said coldly, the way people looked at Yu Lie suddenly became much more relaxed. .

One of them, who looked the youngest, stepped forward, raised his hands to Yu Lie and said:

"Fellow Daoist Yu, right? Please talk to me and a few others about the matters here alone."

The other party took out a charm from his sleeve and cast it, immediately cutting off the temporary space for the other party to ask questions.

"Please also explain the process of the fight in detail, and don't hide anything. Otherwise, if the ghosts and gods come over later, and if something is wrong, it will be inconvenient for the Chamber of Commerce to negotiate again."

After hearing the visitor's words, Yu Lie's heart, which was still a little on edge, suddenly relaxed.

He quickly returned the gift and said to Taoist Yin Leng: "Yu understands that you are all experienced experts. Yu will not dare to make random decisions. He must listen to all the Taoist priests!"

Seeing Yu Lie's understanding, the man also squeezed out a smile on his cold face, but his smile became even colder, and he looked like a white-faced ghost.

Immediately, Yu Lie told each other everything that happened after the two of them entered the workshop.

The other two cold Taoists nearby also came to Yu Lie's side after negotiating with the shopkeeper on duty.

As they talked in detail, a group of people gathered together in the workshop, and it became more and more like acquaintances meeting and chatting. In the end, they all simply removed the sound isolation spell to avoid wasting the spell.

When the ghosts and gods of the workshop finally arrived, a group of people got the news early and waited respectfully at the entrance of the workshop.

After the ghost and god arrived, the situation did not change. Even before Yu Lie and his group could present the prepared testimonies and evidences, the ghost and god saw the Taoist boy who was still unconscious in the corridor, with a look on his face. sneered:

"What a little Taoist disciple, he just refined a pill, but he actually dared to do it to the point of forcing a Taoist boy to death. Humph! If you hadn't cleaned up your family, I saw it today, and I would have joined you anyway. Chamber of Commerce once!”

After saying these words, the other party waved his hand, and paper figures with stiff faces fell down and poured into the workshop, searching for evidence and inspecting the scene. They looked quite conscientious.

Fortunately, Yu Lie had conclusive evidence that Rosacea was the first to attack, as well as the protection of the Taoist from the Chamber of Commerce. No matter how carefully the other party searched, he was "doing it right", so he didn't need to worry about it.

So after an extremely tedious process, at dawn, Yu Li's affairs came to an end.

The ghosts, gods and people in the chamber of commerce asked him to go home. When the news came out, he was only not allowed to leave Daocheng in the near future, and there were no restrictions on his access to the outer city.

And although Yu Lie was asked to go home and wait for news, things in the workshop were basically settled.

According to what the shopkeeper on duty inquired about, Yu Lie had neither merit nor fault, and Rosacea should be dead. As for the other two Taoist disciples who also had empty pay, in addition to being punished by Daocheng, they had to be punished by someone from the Chamber of Commerce. Careful handling.

Although the specific punishment of these two people has not been determined, at least it will cause a mouthful of blood and they will have to vomit out everything they eat.

However, these things have nothing to do with Yu Lie for the time being.

As soon as he understood what was going on, he quickly returned to the diving hotel. He first handled the cancellation of the rental for himself, and then left a letter to Miaom in the hotel, informing him of the address of the cage house.

Then Yu Lie hurriedly boarded the ground crawler and returned to the cage house again.

There happened to be no one in the cage today, so he calmed down and entered into his daily practice and polishing state.

For the next few days, Yu Lie stayed in the cage.

He was originally thinking about how he should pay attention to propriety when he and his sister-in-law Lawson were in the same room. As a result, the sister-in-law Lawson did not return to the cage house for several days. It is not known whether she returned to the workshop to work or found another place to drink away her sorrows.

But in this way, the entire cage house can be enjoyed by Yu Lie alone, full of spiritual energy, and without the interference of other people, which is perfect for him to practice alone.

It was not until five or six days after the incident in the workshop that Yu Lie received a message from the shopkeeper on duty that he was freed from this state of solitary cultivation.

The shopkeeper on duty informed Yu Lie in a letter that the matter in the workshop had been completely determined, and reassured Yu Lie that he was still not at fault.

In addition, the other party also emphasized that the alchemy enshrined in Shouwu had reached a critical moment and more manpower was needed, so he was asked to come to the workshop as soon as possible.

The former was within Yu Lie's expectation, while the latter surprised him:

"This Shouwu enshrinement actually kept its promise and did not delay for ten days and a half."

Enshrining Shouwu and looking at the stove was exactly what Yu Lie had agreed to do. This would allow him to observe the alchemy of Shouwu.

After looking at the furnace, Shouwu sealed it, and the ground fire in the pharmacy was freed up. It was his and Miaom's turn to use the ground fire to refine their bodies.

Immediately, Yu Lie put away the transmission talisman and began to prepare to help the other party watch the furnace and light the fire.

He first took out a piece of china-coated cauldron that he took out from the workshop last time and got familiar with it. Then suddenly, he took out a yellow-skinned gourd from his waist, put it in his hand and rubbed it vigorously. , Wenyang is familiar with it.

It is said that after killing Rosacea, Yu Lie was not punished, but he had no merit. Even the storage bag on Rosacea was confiscated by the Chamber of Commerce. It was not counted as Yu Lie's loot, but was used for Compensate the chamber of commerce assets misappropriated by the other party.

Fortunately, Yu Lie had quick hands and feet and hung the gourd directly on his waist.

Neither the Chamber of Commerce nor the ghosts and gods had any intention of taking this yellow-skinned gourd away from him.

However, after so many days after the yellow-skinned gourd fell into Yu Lie's hands, he had long ago used a bronze wine cup to properly remove its aura and refine it into something of his own.

He was also pleasantly surprised to find that although Rosacea was a poor fighter and a bad person, the yellow-skinned gourd on his waist was indeed a good thing, as the Taoist disciples in the workshop reminded him!

In terms of grade, this object is one level higher than the rest. It is as expensive as an eighth-grade blood vessel. It has a large space inside, like a room, and can be used as a storage artifact.

It's just that this yellow-skinned gourd can only store gas and liquid objects, and cannot be used to store ordinary solid objects.

But the beauty of this gourd lies precisely in this. Its name is "Fire Liquid Gourd", which is made from a gold-skinned copper fire gourd and is the most fire-resistant.

Although it is used to store things for photography, the material is so good that the Taoist can occasionally use it as an emergency alchemy furnace.

Moreover, this gourd retains a certain growth activity. The Taoist regularly warms it and fills it with high-quality spiritual liquid, especially fire-attributed spiritual liquid, which can continue to improve the grade of the gourd and is extremely durable.

According to what the two Taoist disciples in the workshop revealed, the gourd with rosacea had been raised by the other party for many years. It was obtained from an eighth-grade gourd. It was almost considered the lifeblood of the other party, and he carried it around every day.

This gourd of blood vessels fell into the hands of Yu Lie, who was also a member of the Alchemy Dao, and it happened to be in the right place.

However, Yu Lie's plan was not to warm up the gourd as easily as rosacea. He had no intention of cultivating this second-hand artifact.

In the cage house, I saw Yu Lie’s eyes flashing:

"This gourd is fire-resistant. This time it comes into contact with earth fire, so I can try to use the gourd to collect it. If it can be used, it will not only facilitate my daily practice and alchemy in the future, but it may also be used as a trump card when I conduct the Dao Palace assessment..."

He meditated for a long time in the cage house, then put the gourd away, left a letter to his sister-in-law Lawson in the cage house, and then rushed to the workshop.

…………………………

After going around and around for a while, Yu Lie once again stepped into the room where Shouwu was dedicated to alchemy.

As he expected, the Shouwu enshrinement was to use him as a coolie in name, but in reality it gave him a small opportunity.

Because in the huge alchemy room, except for Shouwu Zongsong and Yu Lie, there were no other Taoist disciples and it was empty. As a seventh-grade Taoist official and an important alchemist in the Great Chamber of Commerce, the other party is definitely not lacking in coolie Taoist disciples.

"Here we come." A dull voice sounded in Yu Lie's ears.

On the three-story tall bronze cauldron, the swollen vines entangled the bronze cauldron tightly, making the bronze cauldron that was originally floating on the magma seem to be frozen.

At this time, the Shouwu enshrinement had completely lost its human form, with only a human face carved on the curved vines like an axe.

It opened its weird fleshy eyes, stared at the remaining columns, and shouted: "When you come, work and light the fire!"

Yu Lie stood under the huge bronze tripod and immediately agreed: "Yes!"

However, when he looked at the feet of the bronze tripod, he found no mechanism that could adjust the ground fire, nor did he see any "firewood" that could be used to add firewood.

Yu Lie looked around and saw that the corners were also empty. There was nothing else in the entire alchemy room except the copper tripod, the iron rope dragon head, and the two Taoists.

Just when Yu Lie was about to ask, the vines and dead wood on the bronze tripod squirmed and stretched in front of him, and a muffled sound sounded:

"Earth fire will not burn ordinary things. Cut off the branches and roots of Pindao and add them to the pool."

Yu Lie was stunned for a moment. He looked at the vines stretching out in front of him and gestured to indicate whether he heard correctly.

As a result, Shouwu was enshrined and laughed:

"Haha! If you are asked to do it, you will do it. Why are you standing there in a daze?"

So Yu Lie had to give up his hand again: "I'm offended, Taoist Priest!"

He casually took out an iron ax from his sleeve and struck at the roots of Shouwu.

The sound of chopping wood suddenly sounded regularly in the alchemy room.

But after just chopping a few pieces, Yu Lie found that the iron ax in his hand had a chip, and he felt more and more like he was forging iron rather than chopping wood.

So he simply abandoned the axe, summoned his own grass sword from his sleeve, and slashed hard at the roots of Shouwu. With the blessing of magic, it was like chopping wood and could cut into the roots. In the texture of the beard.

On the face of the man who enshrined Shouwu with the axe, he narrowed his eyes slightly and shouted: "Yes, yes, this strength is very comfortable."

Yu Lie was knocking and chopping in front of this monster, as if he was tickling it or trimming its nails.

When the chopped roots and pieces were dropped into the magma pool, it was like adding fuel to the fire, immediately stimulating pillars of fire, and the magma pool began to bubble and boil.

If it weren't for the fact that the exercises and spells practiced by Yu Lie were all related to fire and his body was fire-resistant, he would definitely not be able to persist under such heat.

As more and more branches were seen from Shouwu Worshiping, the heat in the alchemy room became stronger and stronger. The fixed copper tripod began to tremble, and the pained screams of Shouwu Worshiping gradually came from above. It was unknown that it was about to be destroyed. After it was dried, Yu Lie began to chop it.

But the words the wolf called out were still:

"Add more heat! Add more heat! No matter how hot it is, it's not enough to make medicine if it's not hot!"

When Yu Lie heard this, he simply focused more on slashing at the opponent.

Bah!

Streams of golden-red juice continued to emerge from the wound where Shouwu was worshipped, splashing the alchemy room all over the floor. Yu Lie's hands were covered with gold and red, which looked bloody under the light of the magma fire, and also exuded a strange aura.

He didn't stop day and night. In one breath, he chopped off one third of the limbs enshrined in Shouwu and threw them into the earth fire magma pool.

Shouwu worshiped in a weak voice, but still shouted:

"Add more wood, add more wood! The raging fire will burn my remaining body to refine the secret medicine!"

This beast's facial features became distorted, happy and crazy, and his mind was already extreme.

Yu Lie continued to chop wood hard without stopping for a moment, looking very honest.

But secretly, he secretly and suddenly received one or two pieces of dead branches that were harder than gold and iron into his sleeves...
