I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 1832 Robbery
The next two days were particularly peaceful in Danzong. This was because Liu Jun stayed in Qingfeng Courtyard almost all the time and rarely went out.

However, in sharp contrast, there was a completely different lively scene in Qingfeng Courtyard. Although Liu Jun himself did not go out, his small courtyard welcomed visitors one after another. Among these people were elders from the Formation Hall, alchemists from the Alchemy Pavilion, and even refiners from the Refining Hall. Each of them was of prominent status, extraordinary strength, and usually looked down upon others.

Although many young disciples were eager to have a chance to meet the legendary Liu Jun, their courage and determination were instantly crushed when they saw the elders coming and going in front of the Qingfeng Courtyard. They could only sigh silently in their hearts that the charm and prestige of the great elder Liu Jun were truly extraordinary.

"Um, Grand Elder Liu Jun, could you take a look at this formation I brought?" An elder from the Formation Hall, holding a seemingly ancient book in his hand, stood respectfully in front of Liu Jun, looking forward to his guidance.

Liu Jun just glanced at it and said casually: "The key to this formation lies in the Qian position. Go back and savor it yourself."

Although the words are concise and profound, they reveal Liu Jun's unique insights and profound foundation in battle formations.

"Thank you, thank you!" The elder excitedly accepted Liu Jun's instructions and left with many thanks. His eyes were full of admiration and gratitude. Liu Jun's guidance was undoubtedly a precious treasure to him.

He had studied this formation for several years, but had not been able to successfully set up a similar one. It always failed at the critical moment, but he could not find where the problem lay.

Liu Jun saw the key at a glance. That's the difference.

Another Dan Pavilion elder with a red beard hurried forward, holding a beautifully carved wooden box in his hands devoutly. This wooden box seemed to carry great expectations, and every crack in it revealed mystery and the unknown.

The red-bearded elder handed the wooden box to Liu Jun. His eyes flashed with anticipation, and his voice trembled as he said, "Grand Elder, please taste this strange elixir."

Liu Jun took a look at the pill in the wooden box, his eyes showing a hint of sharpness. He shook his head slightly, as if he was not optimistic about the pill.

"You dare let me try such a rough pill? Have you put the Six-Turn Huiyang Grass in it?" Liu Jun frowned.

Six-turn Huiyang Grass is an extremely precious herb that can harmonize hundreds of medicines and enhance the effect of the elixir. Without its harmonization, the effect of this elixir may be greatly reduced, and it may even cause harm to the human body.

Hearing the words of the Grand Elder, the red-bearded elder turned pale, and a wave of regret surged in his heart. He lowered his head hastily, holding the wooden box in his hands, as if he wanted to explain something, but he didn't say anything in the end.

“Okay, I know you added the Six-Turn Huiyang Grass, but the refining still failed, so you didn’t add it again, right?” Liu Jun seemed to be able to see through people’s hearts and immediately understood the elder’s inner thoughts.

"Yes, you are amazing, Grand Elder. I have added Huiyang Grass to the recipe several times before, but every time I added Huiyang Grass, the furnace would explode. After several explosions, the big boss of Dan Pavilion would not let me enter the alchemy room."

The red-bearded elder said with some grievance. He also knew that this pill needed to be added with Huiyang Grass, but it exploded as soon as it was added. It was not easy for him.

"Can you knead dough?" Liu Jun asked.

The red-bearded elder was stunned and didn't understand what kneading dough had to do with alchemy.

"First throw the ingredients for the elixir in, then mix the Yinkui grass and Huiyang grass into the dough, stir them together, knead them into a ball like kneading dough, and throw them in again, using medium heat," Liu Jun sighed and explained.

He described it in great detail, and was almost ready to make a furnace himself.

"Grand Elder, you are truly admirable. I have refined dozens of furnaces of pills, but I always felt that something was missing. Now that you have reminded me, I have suddenly realized it." The red-bearded elder's words were full of respect and admiration, as if in front of Liu Jun, he was just a humbly seeking advice.

Liu Jun didn't seem to appreciate it. He waved his hand with a look of disdain, and his tone revealed a hint of impatience: "Don't hang around in front of me anymore, leave quickly."

The red-bearded man didn't care about Liu Jun's indifference. He was not angry, but seemed even more excited. He seemed to have received some kind of encouragement, and he left Qingfeng Courtyard dancing with joy, eager to find a place to try out the method Liu Jun taught him.

The elders of the Equipment Refining Hall were all burly, strong and sturdy, giving people a solid impression. They were particularly eye-catching in the crowd, but most of them were taciturn, just standing quietly aside, with deep eyes, not easily revealing emotions. Their existence was like a steady mountain, and they could maintain their composure and stability even if there was a lot of noise and bustle around them.

Liu Jun's gaze lingered on the elders of the Weapon Refining Hall for a moment, and he asked jokingly, "Are you here to be bodyguards? I see that you hold the jellyfish iron effortlessly in your hand, so why don't you consider adding some Yanhuang Liuli Stone to it?"

When the elders of the Weapon Refining Hall heard Liu Jun's words, their faces turned red. They looked at each other, seeming a little embarrassed. One of the elders answered cautiously: "Well, we really don't have Yanhuang Liuli Stone."

In fact, they did not come to ask Liu Jun for advice this time, but wanted to give the jellyfish iron in their hands to Liu Jun to see if they could exchange it for some good forging materials.

Unexpectedly, Liu Jun directly pointed out what this thing needed to be forged, and the key point was that they really didn't have this thing. The three major halls of the Dan Sect, the Dan Pavilion, the Formation Hall, and the Refining Hall, among which the Refining Hall was the bottom, and it had nothing.

Because alchemy can use ordinary materials to make valuable pills, and the formation does not require too much cost. There is only the Equipment Refining Hall. If you want to refine good magic tools, materials are the key.

However, the Equipment Refining Hall had too many materials for refining, and there was nothing particularly good to show off. Later, Danzong's Internal Affairs Hall stopped providing the Equipment Refining Hall with any materials.

"Here I give it to you. Now you won't say that you don't have the materials." Liu Jun couldn't help laughing after hearing this. He took out a piece of Yanhuang colored glaze and threw it to the elder of the Equipment Refining Hall.

Liu Jun's generosity and casualness surprised the elders of the Equipment Refining Hall. They looked at each other with gratitude in their eyes.

Although the Yanhuang colored glaze stone is not particularly precious, it is definitely not an ordinary thing, otherwise the Internal Affairs Palace would not have refused to give it to them.

"Well, we have one more thing," an older elder from the Equipment Refining Hall said hesitantly.

"What's the matter?" Liu Jun asked curiously.

To be honest, he had a good impression of this group of blacksmiths. Although his weapon-making skills were not very good, he admired these weapon-refiners who sweated all day long.

"We would like to invite you to join the Equipment Refining Hall," the elder of the Equipment Refining Hall took a deep breath and said loudly.

The words of the elders of the Refining Hall echoed in the courtyard, and every word was like a bombshell, shocking everyone. The Refining Hall, as a holy place in the Dan Sect famous for its refining skills, the skills of the elders in the hall are naturally extraordinary.

However, inviting a person who is already a supreme elder to join is an almost impossible task, not to mention that the attainments of this supreme elder Liu Jun in formations and elixirs are unfathomable.

In the courtyard, the elders looked at each other in disbelief. Although the Refining Hall was important, it was still far behind the Formation Hall and the Pill Pavilion in terms of influence and strength, especially in terms of resource allocation. If the Internal Affairs Hall allocated ten resources, the Pill Pavilion would get at least five, the Formation Hall would get four, and the Refining Hall might not even get one.

Moreover, Grand Elder Liu Jun has already joined the Dan Pavilion. Even if he really wants to join the Equipment Refining Hall, it may not be that easy.

However, the elder of the Equipment Refining Hall was obviously ready. There was a gleam of determination in his eyes, as if he had already seen the future of the Equipment Refining Hall.

He knew very well that only by inviting a big figure like Grand Elder Liu Jun to join could the skills of the Equipment Refining Hall be taken to a higher level and no longer be bullied by other halls.

"Join your Equipment Refining Hall?" Liu Jun smiled slightly, his eyes revealing an unfathomable light.

Liu Jun gently stroked his chin, as if thinking about something. Although he was already a great elder, he still had a passion for and a pursuit of the art of refining weapons.

He actually had a dream, which was to create a peerless magical weapon by himself, but his talent for refining weapons was far inferior to that of formations and alchemy.

The elders of the Equipment Refining Hall looked at Liu Jun nervously. They didn't know what kind of answer the great elder would give. However, at this moment, Liu Jun suddenly smiled, and his smile was like a spring breeze, warming people's hearts.

"Okay, I'm willing to join the Equipment Refining Hall." Liu Jun's voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard throughout the courtyard. His decision instantly made the elders of the Equipment Refining Hall excited, and their faces were filled with joy that was difficult to conceal.

When the news that Liu Jun was willing to join the Equipment Refining Hall spread, the entire Dan Sect was in an uproar. The heads of the various halls changed color upon hearing the news, with complicated expressions. Among them, Elder Gou of the Formation Hall regretted it so much after hearing the news that he slapped his thigh and almost bit his back teeth to pieces.

Originally, the elders of the Formation Hall were thinking about how to invite Liu Jun to the Formation Hall, but they had always been hesitant, that was the Dan Pavilion. The Dan Pavilion played an important role in the Dan Sect, and if they easily invited Liu Jun, it might cause dissatisfaction from the Dan Pavilion, and even lead to tensions between the two halls.

However, what they didn't expect was that the Weapon Refining Hall took the lead and extended an olive branch without hesitation. This made them feel pressured and worried that if they didn't take action, they would really fall behind. So, after the news of the Weapon Refining Hall inviting Liu Jun spread, the elders of the Formation Hall quickly took action and began to plot how to attract Liu Jun to the Formation Hall.

At the same time, other halls such as the Internal Affairs Hall and the Martial Arts Hall also heard the news. The heads of the various halls could not sit still, and they all came in person to invite Liu Jun to join their halls. However, without exception, they were stopped by the Grand Elder Wu Ning who had arrived at Qingfeng Courtyard early.

The status of the Grand Elder Wu Ning was highly respected, and he could be said to be the great killer of the Dan Sect. His move undoubtedly made the heads of the various halls suffer a cold shoulder.

Liu Jun had just become the Grand Elder and did not understand the importance of this position. Once a certain hall used the title of Grand Elder to cause trouble, it would easily cause disputes within the sect. Therefore, Grand Elder Wu Ning had to intervene to avoid unnecessary trouble.
