Human beings are deceitful, and the flesh is infinitely deduced

Chapter 203 202. Alchemy of Alchemy (6000)

The image created by An Le just now and the means he used were so mysterious that the three landlords did not suspect him at all, nor did they ever think about what he would do.

So after they got home, they quickly raised [-] taels of silver, and then very readily sent it to Wuxu Laoxian's Taoist temple.

Before leaving, Dong Shan was still a little complacent: "Fortunately, I did it myself this time, so I saved a lot of money."

After they left, looking at the huge bank notes in their hands, An Le also showed a hint of satisfaction on his face.

In fact, he has no particular pursuit of money, usually, as long as he has enough.

However, An Le also had to admit that this feeling of rapidly accumulating wealth was not bad at all.

"With these two thousand taels, I can go buy some good things."

An Le secretly said in his heart: "First of all, the technique of condensing qi and blood can be put on the agenda."

"It's better to buy some great medicine to increase qi and blood, and a magic weapon at your fingertips."

In the Taitai Dynasty, although the existence of magical weapons was rarely seen, it did not mean that the weapons used by warriors were ordinary broken copper and rotten iron.

Just like the fire phoenix spear in Ma Pan's hand, it can barely rank among the ranks of "magic weapons". This type of weapon often has some magical characteristics. .

An Le is very clear that silver is just something outside of him.

He will not settle down in the Great Tai Dynasty, after all, he still has to leave here and return to Taixu Palace.

Naturally, all the silver earned will be spent here.

Money is only meaningful if it is transformed into a part of his own strength, otherwise, it is just a pile of useless metal.

With the help of the Blood Marrow God Crystal, An Le's qi and blood have returned to its full state, and she also wants to try the so-called "qi and blood congealing pill."

It's just that, unlike what he thought before, the way the blood will condense naturally is different.

From the mouths of Hai Yuqing and Qing Zhengyang, Anle learned that the coagulation of qi and blood requires unique exercises and cheats, so that the qi and blood can travel along a specific route, and finally successfully condense the pill.

It sounds like it has a certain similarity to the achievement of the golden core by the immortal cultivator.

However, according to what Hai Yuqing said, there are good and bad methods for congealing pills.

Once selected, it cannot be changed, otherwise the blood may flow backwards and die.

The top method is not only less difficult to coagulate pills, but also the power of blood pills will be greater after cultivation.

Hai Yuqing now regrets that he chose a very cheap method, and was stuck in the third realm all the time.

Moreover, there is also a very special property of Condensing Pill Technique, that is, it cannot be transcribed orally. Only by witnessing and experiencing it through extremely rare engraved copies can one truly master it.

This is the first time Anle has heard of this statement.

This is somewhat different from the immortal cultivation techniques that can be recorded and copied on jade slips.

Of course, An Le also thought about prostitution for nothing during the deduction, but he didn't find the way, but with the [-] taels of silver and his previous accumulation, he can use some rich and powerful methods.

******
Inside the Taoist Temple.

Yin Yu watched Dong Shan and the others present the silver taels respectfully, and then left excitedly, and couldn't help asking: "Master, do you really want to help them attack the county magistrate Nahai?"

As low-level civilians, sister and brother Yin Yu were often bullied by landlords on weekdays, and they also witnessed many cases of being forced to ruin their families by the Dong family and the Sun family. Naturally, they did not have the slightest affection for Dong Shan and others.

"I heard that County Magistrate Hai seems to be a good official. He has tried a lot of unjust, false and wrongly decided cases recently. People in the county call him Hai Qingtian!"

Yin Feichen hesitated for a while, and agreed, "Master, why don't we return the money?"

The two spoke cautiously, for fear of offending An Le.

After all, since they left Nanlin Village, the aura on Master's body has become deeper and more terrifying, like a bottomless abyss, or an immeasurable sea.

The Yin Yu siblings have long been unable to judge how far An Le's strength has reached, and their attitudes are naturally respectful and awe-inspiring.

An Le saw through the thoughts of the two of them at a glance, and suddenly felt helpless: "So I am this kind of person in your eyes?"

He changed his mind, he still had the appearance of a Wuxu old fairy in front of his disciples, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like a decent person, it was reasonable to have this kind of misunderstanding.

However, this is not in line with An Le's original idea.

Now that they have already accepted the two as apprentices, the relationship should be closer, and some things can be properly shown to them.

Thinking of this, An Le put away his magic armor and dark yellow robe, revealing his true face.

Yin Yu was lowering his head, thinking about how to persuade Master to let Hai Yuqing go, when he suddenly heard a sound of screeching in front of him.

Afterwards, Yin Feichen beside him let out an exclamation.

Yin Yu's heart tightened, and he was about to apologize for his younger brother's recklessness, but when he looked up, the girl's eyes could not help but freeze.

I saw a handsome young man sitting on the magnificent blood crystal lotus platform.

Against the backdrop of the green clothes, that face became more and more handsome, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, as if there were stars flowing in the bottom of his eyes, and he looked immortal, not like ordinary people.

Yin Yu had never seen such a handsome man before, so he froze in place for a moment.

It took her tens of seconds to finally react belatedly, her little face turned red: "Master?"

An Le smiled faintly: "Why, you don't recognize me when you take off your robe?"

Yin Feichen opened his mouth wide open, and after a while he said awkwardly: "Master's true face is so..."

His impression of An Le's appearance was still the same as the charred body before, thinking that Master's appearance was destroyed, so he was always wearing this dark yellow robe.

Yin Feichen never expected that the reality was completely opposite to what he had imagined.

An Le has long been used to the way others look at him, and there is no disturbance in his heart, he just said casually.

"This can be regarded as a lesson I taught you, remember not to judge people by their appearance."

"I am close friends with County Magistrate Hai, so how could we harm him?"

Saying this with his current appearance naturally added a bit of persuasiveness.

Yin Yu frowned, and asked curiously: "Then how does Master plan to deal with the Dong family?"

An Le didn't explain in detail, but just said: "I have my own way."

******
For the next few days.

Brother Yin Yu soon saw the results of Anle's methods.

The jade-faced scholar who followed Hai Yuqing did indeed disappear as An Le had promised.

This inspired Dong Shan, Sun Youwei and others, and immediately began to arrange for the strong men of the third realm to attack Hai Yuqing with poison, trap, assassination and other insidious tactics.

However, what they didn't expect was that Hai Yuqing avoided all the arrangements they had made in a bizarre way.

The reason why it is called "bizarre" is because Hai Yuqing's way of avoiding the disaster is too coincidental, so coincidental that it is jaw-dropping.

Take a simple example.

The people sent by the Dong family poisoned Hai Yuqing's tea, but he slipped his hand that day and knocked over the teapot, and was later spotted by Qing Zhengyang next to him.

For another example, they set up a killing array on Hai Yuqing's only way, but Hai Yuqing suddenly felt sick to his stomach and went back home, avoiding the attack just right.

If it is only once or twice, it can also be described as a coincidence.

But the problem is, similar things happened no less than ten times in the past few days, and Hai Yuqing tried to avoid the disaster all of them, but nothing happened.

The most dangerous time was when Hai Yuqing stayed under the sun for too long and almost got heatstroke.

Not to mention Dong Shan's planners, even the officials in the county government have noticed this.

Some people say that this is because Hai Yuqing acted in accordance with the way of heaven, so she was lucky and protected by heaven.

Some people also say that Hai Yuqing has the means to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and to predict bad luck, so that he can avoid so many dangers.

The ordinary people don't know so much, they just think that the county magistrate Hai has not had any accidents so far, which can be said to be a blessing, and the name "Hai Qingtian" is even more resounding.

After hearing these rumors, Yin Yu's sister and brother were full of surprises.

The image of An Le in their eyes gradually became more omnipotent.

On the other hand, the landlord and gentry side, the atmosphere can be described as extremely low.

They couldn't understand why Hai Yuqing could accurately avoid all the arrangements made by him and others?
It's like fairy magic!
Some people suspected that there was a traitor among themselves, but after searching for a long time, they still found nothing.

And even if everyone split up and made their own arrangements to ensure that no news would be revealed, Hai Yuqing still hid them all.

Some people also suspected that this might have something to do with the old fairy Wuxu, and wanted to ask him for an explanation.

But it was directly rejected by Dong Shan and Sun Youwei.

On the one hand, they couldn't come up with any evidence at all, just random guesses.

On the other hand, the old fairy Wuxu had already fulfilled his promise to make the jade-faced scholar disappear temporarily. Whether Hai Yuqing died or lived, it had nothing to do with him, but they failed to grasp the opportunity.

Of course, there is one more important reason.

After visiting the mountain gate in person last time, Dong Shan and the others have reached a consensus - offending the old fairy Wuxu is probably several times more terrifying than letting Haiyu Qingqingtian go!

The latter may just want to take their silver, but the former...

Recalling what he saw and heard that day, Dong Shan seemed to have fallen into an absurd nightmare from which he could not wake up.

In this situation, the Dong family and other landlords made concessions one after another, and Hai Yuqing's land clearing and new policies were able to be carried out step by step.

Ordinary people clearly felt that the actions of the several major landlord families were far more restrained than before, as if they were faintly apprehensive.

Some old unjust, false and wrong cases in the county government have also been uncovered, and those suspects who escaped by spending money received the punishment they deserved.

More and more civilians dared to enter the yamen and let Hai Yuqing clean up their grievances for them. Even some rich men and evil servants of the landlord's family were implicated.

Hai Yuqing insisted on bearing the pressure and issued an order of punishment.

Many residents of Baoqi County clapped their hands and applauded for this, and became more grateful and respectful to the county magistrate.

But correspondingly, the landlords and gentry couldn't tolerate him more and more, and they wanted to get rid of him quickly.

The contradiction between the two sides has gradually intensified to the point where it cannot be adjusted.

******
at the same time.

An Le taught Yin Yu sister and brother attentively.

Perhaps because of the extraordinary blood inherited from their parents, the talents of the two of them once again exceeded An Le's expectations.

Under the infusion of blood marrow god crystal, Yin Yu actually broke through to the third realm!
The girl is only sixteen years old, the same age as An Le, and she has already reached the level equivalent to building a foundation.

This speed of entry is not exaggerated.

As for Yin Feichen, although he is only in the second level, he has shown a strong talent in martial arts.

Yin Feichen can basically master the boxing and footwork taught by An Le within one day, and within five days he can be said to be proficient.

Just as Yin Yu said, Yin Feichen is a real martial arts genius!

An Le simply taught him a set of marksmanship, and then gave Yin Feichen the "Fire Phoenix Spear" he took from Ma Pan, and said, "You will definitely become a great man in the future, and this gun is worthy of you now." , just take it and use it first."

At that time, Yin Feichen was so moved that his little face flushed, his eyes were full of fanatical gratitude: "I will definitely not disappoint your cultivation!"

In his young life, only his sister would value and love him so much.

And now, Yin Feichen also regards An Le as his sister, an existence he wants to defend with his life.

After obtaining the Fire Phoenix Spear, Yin Feichen's combat power was almost the same as that of ordinary third-level warriors.

The two third-level fighters are already quite powerful in the small place of Baoqi County.

On this day, An Le asked them to secretly guard Hai Yuqing, while she quietly left Baoqi County for Yanghe City.

Yanghe City is the core city of Yanghe Prefecture.

Whether it is the area, population, or prosperity, it is several times that of Baoqi County.

It is also in such a prosperous place that there is what An Le wants.

******
As soon as you walk into the city, you will be greeted with a strong atmosphere of the rivers and lakes.

The streets are full of people coming and going.

Warriors in different clothes walked among the crowd with swords in their arms.

Or they have sharp eyes and a bloody body, which is not easy to provoke at first glance; or they wear strong clothes and have an elegant and extraordinary demeanor, like a student in a martial arts gym.

Hawkers yelled one after another, shops gathered, and commerce was very developed, far from being comparable to Baoqi County.

Not only are shops everywhere, but there are also many inns, restaurants, and Goulan.

From time to time, you can see a arena on the street, with warriors competing on the stage, and the audience cheering excitedly.

The style of martial arts prevailed in the Taitai Dynasty, and the warriors were full of energy and blood, and they were brave and ruthless.

Once a conflict arises, no one will be convinced unless there is a fight, and there may be murder and revenge afterwards.

The officials in the city also knew that this situation could not be avoided, so they simply set up a ring and let these warriors compete, which would not only resolve the conflict, but also become a venue for the warriors to make their name known.

Most of the fighters in the arena were warriors from the second realm, each of whom reported titles like "Hunyuan Moving the Mountain Palm" and "Jade Faced Tiger", fighting in full swing.

The audience in the audience kowtowed at the melon seeds and nuts bought from the peddler, some commented calmly, and some cheered.

Looking at this scene, An Le inexplicably has a feeling of traveling to the world of martial arts, which is very novel.

However, An Le had serious business to do on this trip, so she turned her head and left after two glances.

It didn't take long.

According to the memory in the deduction, An Le walked to a small attic with pink lanterns hanging at the door, and the sound of warblers and swallows and the fragrance of powder.

At this time, he squeezed a face that was not good-looking, and his figure changed slightly.

The man next to him saw him coming, and there was a tacit smile on his face.

Here, it is a Goulan.

An Le walked into the small door with a normal expression, and a girl in a light veil walked up to her.

"Guest officer..."

Before she could speak, An Le asked directly, "Are there any vacancies on the sixth floor?"

The girl's complexion changed slightly, and she took her leave temporarily: "Please wait a moment, sir."

Soon, a woman with obviously mature features walked up to An Le, looked at her secretly, and said, "Please follow me."

Following the woman through several small doors, An Le was brought to a large empty room.

There are already several people waiting inside, but they are either wearing masks or hoods to cover their eyes and ears, and they know how to keep a low profile and be cautious.

There are very few people who are as unabashed as An Le.

An Le randomly found a seat and sat down, which attracted a lot of attention, but others quickly ignored him because of his lackluster aura and ordinary appearance, and just muttered to himself: "Where did the newcomer come from, so ignorant?" ?”

This is a hidden auction in Yanghe City. Only a few people know about it. It is said that the background is very mysterious and related to the government and Zhenling Division.

What is being auctioned is naturally the best and rare goods.

An Le just said "Are there any vacancies on the sixth floor?" is one of the code words for getting started.

Not long after sitting, the auction started.

The host of the auction is that mature woman who still has a charm just now.

Compared to young girls, this kind of woman understands what men want to see better.

She is called Qianwen, she is the oiran of this Goulan, and also the chief auctioneer of this auction.

An Le's venomous eyes have already seen that this woman looks soft and weak, but in fact her blood has the strength of the third level, she is by no means weak.

After Qianwen talked about the scene and the rules of the auction, the auction started.

The opening auction item is a rare qi and blood pill, which is of great benefit to warriors of the three realms.

The starting price was only five hundred taels of silver, but it was quickly won at two thousand taels.

The auction items are various, and the common ones include pills, precious materials, magical weapons, exercises... and even living monsters and slaves.

An Le also saw a humanoid monster, which was auctioned for a very high price.

The auction items not only have a wide range of categories, but also relatively moderate prices, attracting many people to ask for prices, and the atmosphere is quite enthusiastic.

An Le didn't have much need for these things, so he kept holding back.

Ordinary magic weapons are of little significance to him, and they are not as useful as the Void Armor. He is a little tempted by some precious medicines that contain qi and blood, but thinking of the next important event, he still gives up for the time being.

"I won't introduce the engraved edition of the Alchemy of Refining and Concentrating Alchemy. You should have heard of it."

"However, the remaining secret method in this engraved book is very weak. At most, I can only visualize it once more. Please consider it yourself."

Qianwen said unhurriedly: "The starting price is [-] taels of silver, and the price will increase by more than [-] taels each time. This opportunity is rare and should not be missed."

As soon as the words came out, the auction house fell into a brief silence.

The alchemy method of refining the spirit is a superior method of condensing alchemy.

Only warriors in the third realm will have the demand, but most of the warriors in the third realm have actually determined the method of congealing alchemy, and they cannot switch to it.

In addition, this engraved book has been used many times, and the number of times of use is limited. If you can't learn it after visualization once, it will be a loss to grandma's family!
So it sounds like it has a great name and is very precious, but there may not be so many people who will actually buy it.

After a long while, someone raised his hand and said.

"Eleven thousand taels!"

Another person continued: "Thirteen thousand taels!"

"Five thousand taels!"

Qianwen looked around: "Fifteen thousand taels, is there a higher one?"

"One thousand and two times."

An Le said lightly: "Eighteen thousand taels."

This is the goal of his trip, and it is naturally inevitable.

The so-called "visualization" seems to involve the soul, and there is no way to go whoring in the deduction for nothing, otherwise why would he spend so much effort.

Qianwen glanced at Anle in surprise, she didn't expect this ordinary customer to get so much money.

But out of professional ethics, she still said: "Okay, eighteen thousand taels!"

However, another competitor apparently did not give up and continued to offer.

The two kept clenching the price, until An Le vomited out the price of [-] taels, and finally won it.

His current total assets are only in the early [-]s, which has shrunk by half in an instant, and he secretly looks forward to it: "I hope this method of congealing alchemy will not disappoint me."

Next, An Le took pictures of some good medicines one after another, and converted all the remaining banknotes in his pocket into actual items.

However, he had no choice but to give up this idea because there was no magical weapon that could enter An Le's eyes until the end of the auction.

After the auction ended, An Le handed over the banknotes and brought back several auction items.

When the meeting was about to end, Qianwen suddenly spoke.

"About the recent barren mountain incident, if you are interested, you can contact me."

"My master is gathering manpower recently, everyone is welcome to join."

Hearing this, An Le frowned slightly: "Bare mountain?"

"What do you mean?"

He hadn't really heard of it.

In the previous deduction, An Le directly grabbed the engraved book and left, and of course he has not experienced the current situation.

He glanced at the people around him, and found that some of them approached Qianwen directly, as if they were discussing something.

An Le silently took this matter to heart, and prepared to collect information during the deduction and leave the auction house at the same time.

After going out, he felt that he was being watched.

An Le shook her head involuntarily, and said to herself, "You guys brought this to your door, so you can't blame me."

I have to admit that his undisguised and ordinary appearance is a bit like fishing law enforcement.

But Jiang Taigong is fishing - those who wish to take the bait!

So, when An Le left Yanghe City, he had an extra ten thousand taels of silver and some auction items that he just got.

From the mouths of those unlucky ones, An Le also got a general understanding of the so-called "Bare Mountain Incident."

In the border area of ​​Qingzhou, a very strange spectacle appeared one after another.

The entire mountain became extremely desolate overnight, and the weeds and wild animals on the mountain disappeared, leaving only a bare mountain, which looked extremely strange.
