Chapter 256 255, Human Torch!Famous all over the world!
"Master, the water is ready, you can take a bath."
Hearing Gu Hongye's greeting, Shen Lang finished his meditation, got up and went to the bathroom.
She pushed open the half-covered door and went in, but she didn't see Gu Hongye—at this time in the past, she was always dressed in cool clothes, waiting for Master Shen to come.
"Bai Shishi is here too, so are you embarrassed?"
Shen Lang pondered in his heart, and went straight to the oversized tub that Gu Hongye paid for and ordered, and did it himself, took off his clothes, jumped into the tub, and took a comfortable bath.
While soaking, the bathroom door opens.
Gu Hongye, who only wore a fiery red tube top and white gauze short skirt, walked in with a smile, and Bai Shishi followed behind.
Shen Lang raised his eyes, and saw that Bai Shishi only had a palm-width black tube top, and a short white gauze skirt that barely covered the bottom of her legs. Her small waist, long legs, and snow-white belly , Deep gullies and dangerous gullies are all displayed.
Shen Lang could even tell at a glance that Bai Shishi was the same as Gu Hongye, the inside of the short skirt was pure and natural...
The current situation, to be honest, is really beyond Shen Lang's expectation.
He originally thought that Gu Hongye would feel embarrassed to come to take a bath for him because of Bai Shishi's presence, but he didn't expect that Miss Hongye not only came, but also pulled Bai Shishi over.
Speaking of...
Shen Lang has fooled Bai Shishi more than once with "next time will be sure". In today's situation, it seems that he cannot escape the demon's clutches.
So, are there two opponents tonight?
Neither Bai Shishi nor Gu Hongye are weak women, they are both physically strong fourth-rank warriors...
Gu Hongye possesses a tongue skill like a snake demon, and his legs and feet are also very sharp.
Although Bai Shishi hasn't practiced that serious magic skill yet, she is specialized in claw skills, and those slender hands that look white and soft also have a very solid grasping skill.
The two join forces...
Shen Lang felt that he might face a very severe challenge tonight!
However, it didn't take long for Shen Lang, who was waiting in battle, to realize that he really overestimated Bai Shishi.
This witch has repeatedly tempted Shen Lang with the cheek to make Shen Lang think that although she has no practical experience, she has great potential and is just waiting for a chance to prove herself, so she is very wary of her.
Unexpectedly, Bai Shishi was just a talkative king at all, and she was already trembling with excitement when she watched and learned how Gu Hongye served the master.
After Gu Hongye finished her demonstration, she pushed Bai Shishi into Shen Lang's arms. Shen Lang just hugged her waist lightly, and then washed her face habitually on her chest. She trembled violently and almost passed out. In a short time, it has been covered with pulp and honey...
Well, the severe challenge that Shen Lang expected did not appear.
An hour later.
Shen Lang walked out of the bathroom refreshed and went back to practice.
Gu Hongye half supported and half hugged Bai Shishi, took her to her bedroom, and sent her to the couch.
Seeing Bai Shishi paralyzed as soon as she got on the bed, as if her bones had been taken out of her body, and her eyes were blurred like sleepwalking, Gu Hongye couldn't help feeling:
"Shishi, I really didn't expect you to be so weak. You've lost all your strength before you've even made a move..."
Bai Shishi rolled her eyes slightly, looked at Gu Hongye, then slowly closed her eyes, and said in a sleepy tone:
"I just went through a near-death adventure... I'm really not in good shape... But I have already remembered how you served the master. Next time, I will definitely perform better next time..."
Gu Hongye chuckled lightly:
"For my kung fu, it's useless to memorize the technique alone. In addition, you still lack tempering. As long as you are like this, no matter how many times you do it again, your performance will not be better than today."
Bai Shishi said quietly:
"Aren't you talking nonsense? I'm still a girl, so it's impossible for me to have any temper..."
Gu Hongye sat on the side of the couch, looked at Bai Shishi's beautiful figure that resembled hills, especially under her slender waist, and her round buttocks protruding in an astonishing arc, she couldn't help licking her lips, and said solemnly :
"The reason why you failed so miserably is because you have not been sharpened and are vulnerable to a single blow. The second is that you have not learned real kung fu. By the way, last time I caught a flower picker, I got a magical secret book... Do you want me to teach you?" ?”
Bai Shishi wondered:
"The magic trick of the flower picker? Isn't that an evil kung fu?"
Gu Hongye said seriously:
"It's not evil kung fu, it's a decent martial art. The master has personally certified it, and he has also practiced it."
Startled, Bai Shishi tried her best to stand up and held Gu Hongye's hand:
"No wonder I lost so badly. It turns out that you all have practiced real kung fu! Good sister, can you teach me your magic kung fu?"
Gu Hongye glanced at Bai Shishi's breasts that far surpassed her own, then looked at her slender waist and plump buttocks, a subtle smile appeared on the corners of her lips:
"We are all the dowry maids of Master Mu, and we should advance and retreat together. Of course, I will teach you this kind of kung fu. But you can't easily learn this kind of kung fu just by listening to me. practice."
"Practice? Go to the master?"
"Of course I'm not looking for the master. The master is a master of martial arts and martial arts. You have to practice martial arts and spells. The time is already tight, and now you are learning alchemy. You can relax for a while every day when you take a bath. How can I have time to practice kung fu with you?"
Gu Hongye held Bai Shishi's hand backhand:
"It's you who learn and practice with me first, practice your kung fu well, and then go to the master..."
Bai Shishi's eyes widened:
"Me, me and you? But we are both women!"
"Otherwise?" Gu Hongye was surprised: "Can you find a man other than the master to practice it?"
Bai Shishi is categorical:
"Of course that's impossible! I have been greatly favored by the master for reinvention. I am his man when I am born, and I will be his ghost after death."
Gu Hongye spread her hands together:
"Since that's the case, then I can only teach you the actual combat moves while passing on your mental formulas. Besides, this kind of actual combat teaching can also sharpen you-you fainted like that tonight. Not to mention being able to serve the master well, but being served by the master... Isn't the world upside down? How can there be a reason for a master to serve a maid in the world?
"Shishi, we are all women, and we are all Mu Daren and Shen Butou. At that time, we have to serve Mu Daren and Shen Butou together. Let's learn from each other. There is nothing to be shy about, right? I even have a Thoughts, tomorrow night, when we serve the master to take a bath, let's perform a show first to cheer the master up, what do you think?"
"..."
Bai Shishi looked surprised: "Can you still play like this?"
Gu Hongye said seriously:
"Why not? In that magical skill, there is a performance to add to the fun. The master has read the whole book, and he knows it."
"Uh……"
Bai Shishi wrung her fingers, with a troubled expression on her face.
For a while, she felt that what Gu Hongye said was quite reasonable, and for a while, she felt that something was wrong, and she couldn't tell exactly what was wrong, and she was quite at a loss for a while.
Gu Hongye put one arm around her slender waist, and the other fell on her thigh, and said seriously:
"If you want to serve the master well, you should learn from me seriously. Don't worry, I won't keep any secrets from you, but I will teach you all the kung fu I know."
Bai Shishi was stunned, feeling a little moved in her heart. Just as she was hesitating, Gu Hongye leaned over, laid her down again, looked down at her face, and asked:
"Then I'm starting now?"
Bai Shishi bit her lips lightly, then nodded vigorously:
"let's start!"
"Okay. Let me pass on your mental formula first..."
Gu Hongye bit Bai Shishi's earlobe, and began to teach magic skills...
When the two practice teaching.
Shen Lang was sitting cross-legged on the couch, meditating with his eyes closed, constructing Taoist runes.
During this period of time, he practiced alchemy every day during the day, practiced new spells at night to make up for his spell slots, and began to meditate and refine Qi at midnight.
Cultivate zhenqi until the eve of dawn, and then practice "contemplation" for another hour instead of sleep. After getting up and eating, after breakfast, do boxing and sword exercises to exercise the body, and then start alchemy again.
This goes on and on again and again, the rhythm of practice is full twelve hours a day, and there is almost no rest.
The reason for using "almost" is, of course, because every day when he takes a bath, he and Gu Hongye will participate in "serious magic skills" to relax.Occasionally, I would also enjoy Gu Hongye's back massage.
With his current cultivation base, sleep is no longer necessary, and meditation can be used instead.
Both mental and physical strength can be fully recovered during meditation.
At this moment, Shen Lang is constructing a rune for the fifth-grade spell "Thunderbolt".
After being promoted to the fourth rank, he has three more spell slots for each rank.
It's just that I haven't had time to fill it up before, and I only completed three fourth-rank spells, and then hurriedly started a new journey.
Now Yan Tianying gave him a vacation to let him settle down. Of course, he must hurry up and practice spells.
This time he did not make up the spell slots in order of rank.
Instead, according to your own interests, whichever spell you think is more interesting, you can construct whichever spell first, regardless of the level of the spell.
Anyway, the three fourth-rank spells have been cultivated, and all the spells of the lower third rank, and even the sixth-rank spells, have been practiced to be able to be cast instantly. They can face the third-rank Dacheng warriors without relying on magic weapons. The combat power is enough. Take care of your interests.
These days, he has successively cultivated several spells such as "Spiritual Flame Arrow, Explosive Finger, Ground Fire Spring", all of which are ninth-rank to sixth-rank spells with fire attributes that can be cast instantly.
Even though the level of the spell is not high, Shen Lang has the third-level "flame enhancement" that Xiao Ye gave back.
With the addition of flame enhancement, every fire spell should not be underestimated.
Like the eighth-grade "Explosive Flame Finger", once fired, granite the size of a millstone can be blasted into powder, which is more powerful than any cannon these days.
Waiting for a martial artist of the fourth rank, Shen Lang is even sure that only using the "Explosive Flame Finger" spell to bomb in a row can explode the opponent's body's protective zhenqi layer by layer, and then blow the opponent's body into pieces.
In other words, if it weren't for the fact that the spell attribute was too single, it would be easy to be targeted and restrained. Shen Lang, who has "fire enhancement", really wanted to wash all the spells into fire spells.
The fifth-grade spell "Thunderbolt Fire" constructed today is also a fire spell with both offensive and defensive capabilities.
This technique can cover the body surface with a layer of raging flames, making the whole person look like a burning man.
This layer of raging flames can resist and even incinerate the enemy's zhenqi and spells.
When the enemy attacks in close quarters, it will burst into flames to counterattack, causing explosion and burning damage to the enemy.
With the addition of "Fire Strengthening", this fifth-rank spell with the fire attribute will be as powerful as a fourth-rank spell.
If a martial artist approached and attacked him and slapped him with a palm, the flames on his body would erupt like a volcano while resisting and burning the opponent's palm.Even a third-rank martial artist would be injured if he didn't pay attention.
Before that, Shen Lang had spent five nights gradually constructing the rune frame of "Thunderbolt".Today it's just a matter of final filling in some details.Therefore, it didn't take long to complete the construction of the Taoist runes of "Thunderbolt".
To practice a new spell, of course you have to practice it.
At that moment, with a thought, he entered the Dianjingbi space.
It's all this time, and of course the goblins didn't go out to wander, they have already returned to the space to practice.
Seeing Shen Lang coming in, the goblins, who were used to the pace of his life during this period, immediately knew that he was going to practice spells. They found a good position one by one, opened their eyes, and prepared to watch and comment.
Shen Lang laughed, put on a majestic posture, and quickly made a seal with both hands - a fourth-rank magic cultivation, and he couldn't cast fifth-rank spells instantly.You have to wait until the third grade.
I have just successfully constructed the Taoist rune, and it is the first time to practice it. Of course, I will not be too proficient in casting spells.
It took a full three or four seconds before Shen Lang successfully formed the seal, and there was a bang on his body, and a raging flame ignited.
Orange flames wrapped him from head to toe, and his whole body seemed to be made of pure flames.
Of course this is just an illusion.
The flames were only attached to the surface of his body.
His body is still flesh and blood, and has not really turned into a flame form.
Even so, seeing the raging flames on his body, and a foot-high orange flame sprouting above his head, the goblins still applauded in unison.
"Shen Lang is so majestic!"
"The host is great!"
Xiaozhao, Xiaoya, and Xiaogu applauded for their face, while clapping their paws and bone hands.
The little fish had no claws to slap, so he slapped the water quickly with his tail, and still got warm applause.
Only Xiao Ye, who could see through the flames, raised her wingtips after saying hello, and snickered softly while covering her bird's beak.
It is standing on Xiaogu's shoulder right now, hearing its laughter, Xiaogu couldn't help but glance at it sideways, and asked in his heart:
【what are you laughing at? 】
Xiao Ye giggled, put her head close to Xiao Gu's head, and whispered:
"The clothes on Shen Lang's body were all burned to ashes, he is really running now..."
[Clothes burned out? 】
The red light in Xiaogu's eye sockets suddenly lit up, and he turned his head to stare at Shen Lang.
It's a pity that it doesn't have the vision of Xiao Ye. It can only see the light emitted by Shen Lang's Yuanshen, but it can't see through the flames on his body and see his condition.
The same goes for Xiao Zhao, Xiao Ya, and Xiao Yu, all applauding and applauding, but they couldn't see the truth.
Shen Lang was very embarrassed.
Immediately, he noticed that his clothes were instantly wiped out, and he glanced at the little fairies with a guilty conscience.
Seeing that the reactions of cats, rabbits, and fish were normal, but Little Fire Crow and Little Skeleton looked a little weird, Shen Lang felt a little uneasy in his heart, so he quickly turned around, turned his back to Xiao Ye and Xiao Gu, and thought about it. :
This spell is a bit tricky!
In the introduction to the spell in the Taoist book, it didn't say that it would burn clothes!Not good, my hair eyebrows!
He quickly raised his hand to touch his hair and eyebrow hair, and found that the hair was still there, so he was slightly relieved.
He said to himself that it seems that the hair and eyebrows are considered part of my body by default, so they are not burned by the flames.But the clothes should belong to "things outside the body", and they are not armor made of special materials, so naturally they cannot withstand such a fierce flame.
"It's no wonder that the Taoism book of 'Thunderbolt Fire' has been piled up in dust in the Sutra Library of the Taoist Academy, and it looks like no one cares about it. All the fifth-rank Dharma cultivators know the disadvantages of this spell!"
Shen Lang, who has no one to point him to, takes this spell as a treasure.
Depressed for a while, Shen Lang comforted himself again:
Although the clothes will be wiped out after the spell is cast, this spell has a domineering appearance and is very powerful. In the "Thunderbolt" state, the whole body is covered with flames, and ordinary people do not have the vision to see through the flames and see the truth.
So what if the bird runs away?
Didn't the ancestors of mankind come here like this?
This is what I call returning to the basics and returning to the truth, learning from the ancients!
Besides, Brother Lang, I still have two pairs of precious armor, one is Lian Yunxiao's "White Dragon Armor", and the other is Hu Dali's "Black Star Battle Armor", both of which can withstand the flames, at worst, I will put on the armor before casting spells .
After making psychological suggestions, Shen Lang maintained the "Thunderbolt" form, with his hands behind his back, standing proudly, as if nothing had happened, accepting the applause and flattery of Xiao Zhao, Xiao Ya, and Xiao Yu who didn't know the truth, and then suddenly slapped his head:
"Oh, I still have something to do, I'm going out first!"
When it's over, quickly exit the Dianjingbi space.
Xiao Zhao has three puzzles: After learning a new spell, why did he only show it for a short while and then leave?
Everyone hasn't had a blast yet.
Xiao Ye supported Xiao Gu's head with her wings, and laughed so hard that Xiao Zhao and the three were even more confused.
As soon as Shen Lang left the space, he quickly ended the spell and extinguished the flames, so as not to cause a fire.
Then he opened the closet, casually found a long robe and wrapped it around his body, ending the state of being a bird.
He didn't intend to ask Xiao Ye if he saw anything - anyway, as long as I don't ask, it can be assumed that it didn't see anything.
Quickly put aside the little embarrassment with a strong state of mind, Shen Lang continued to practice tonight as if nothing had happened.
Early the next morning.
As soon as Shen Lang finished his training, Gu Hongye was stuck in time, and brought him face wash, toothbrush, and tooth powder, and helped him to wash up.
"Hongye, there's no need to do this. I'm used to doing things myself. During this period of time, you've been serving me like you're serving an old man. You're almost turning me into a slob."
Gu Hongye smiled and said:
"But you are my master in the first place! Besides, you have so much homework in practice, and you are also busy making alchemy. How can you waste time on trivial matters? Just leave it to me. I just need to practice martial arts anyway. Hehe, I also pointed out that After you refine the fourth-grade panacea, you will enjoy the blessings."
Shen Lang laughed:
"Don't worry, you are indispensable."
After serving Shen Lang to wash up, Gu Hongye said again:
"I had dumplings today, stuffed with leeks and pork, and Shishi had already wrapped them in the kitchen. Her fingers were very flexible, and the dumplings she made were very beautiful. I bought some good vinegar in West Market yesterday. Today's meal Dumplings, make sure you eat comfortably."
Shen Lang smiled and said:
"Then I can sit back and enjoy it."
"I'll call you when the dumplings are ready."
Gu Hongye was about to go out when she suddenly remembered something and said lightly:
"By the way, I taught Shishi's kung fu last night."
Shen Lang didn't react for a moment:
"Which skill?"
Gu Hongye said softly:
"It's the one we practiced."
Shen Lang didn't take it seriously at first:
"Just pass it on. Shishi is too weak, you have to practice this kind of kung fu."
Gu Hongye smiled sweetly and winked at him:
"I'm very good at poetry and poetry, I'll have a surprise tonight."
After Gu Hongye went out, Shen Lang suddenly recalled:
"Shi Shi learns kung fu very quickly? How does Hongye know that she is a fast learner of kung fu?"
In that serious kung fu, the mentality is not so difficult and obscure, but it has a variety of moves.
But how well the moves are learned, you can't tell just by looking at them, you have to practice them.
So Hongye and Shishi were still there last night?
Thinking of the "surprise" Gu Hongye said, Shen Lang's eyes couldn't help becoming a little subtle, and even felt that Gu Hongye's words "Shishi's fingers are very flexible" were full of some evil hints.
When the dumplings were cooked and they were eating at the same table, Shen Lang couldn't help looking at Gu Hongye and Bai Shishi for a while, his eyes were very subtle.
After all, Gu Hongye had been sparring with Shen Lang for a long time, and knew him almost well, so she looked nonchalant, and occasionally even looked at Shen Lang, and gave him a mysterious and charming smile.
Bai Shishi couldn't stand it any longer. She ate dumplings with red earlobes and lowered her head, and didn't care about dipping them in vinegar. She didn't have the old witch who always teased Shen Lang and satirized him "what's the use of raising birds" from time to time. demeanor.
Seeing Bai Shishi's reaction, Shen Lang became more and more sure of his guess.
So after breakfast, Bai Shishi went to pack the dishes as if fleeing, while Shen Lang got up and sent Gu Hongye, who was fully equipped and going to the Yamen to work, out of the door, grabbed her and asked in a low voice:
"What on earth are you planning?"
"Of course it's teaching Shishi how to serve the master."
Gu Hongye smiled sweetly, stood on tiptoe, and smacked Shen Lang's face:
"I have a surprise for you tonight."
After speaking, he waved to Shen Lang again, turned and left.
Looking at Gu Hongye's back, Shen Lang hugged his chest with one hand and touched his chin with the other, imagining tonight's show, let alone, I'm really looking forward to it.
Back in the yard, Shen Lang came to the kitchen, thought for a while, held back his curiosity, and didn't inquire about any special program tonight, but only said to Bai Shishi:
"Recently, I practice alchemy during the day and don't eat at noon. Shishi, you can just prepare lunch for yourself."
Bai Shishi's ears were red, she didn't dare to look back at him, she whispered:
"Ok."
Seeing her shy look, and thinking about her arrogance when she teased and teased him in the past, and even bluntly said "what's the use of this iron rod", Shen Lang couldn't help being a little funny for a while.
But he is a man with a big heart after all, he didn't seize this opportunity to laugh at her, he just said:
"If you want to practice internal strength, you can meditate in the room next to my alchemy room. If you want to practice moves, you can compete with the little skulls."
Compete with Little Skull?
Bai Shishi was so excited that she couldn't care less about being shy, she turned her head and waved at Shen Lang again and again:
"This is really unnecessary."
Shen Lang said seriously:
"As a warrior, no matter how steady and cautious you are, you should have nothing to fear in your heart. If there is a shadow in your heart, how can you climb to the top?"
Bai Shishi looked puzzled:
"As far as my material is concerned... the third grade is very difficult, let alone the highest grade."
Shen Lang frowned:
"However, I am a man with aspirations to live forever. Are you planning to stay by my side only and be a servant girl for decades?"
Bai Shishi looked at Shen Lang, and rarely showed a gentle smile:
"Being able to be your servant girl for decades, I'm already satisfied! Only a fairy like Mr. Mu can live with you forever."
"..."
Shen Lang opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but was a little speechless.
Practice can only rely on oneself, especially some life and death tests, no one can intervene.
Shen Lang's hanging is only useful for goblins, and cannot help humans improve their cultivation and break through bottlenecks, let alone life and death.
As for Bai Shishi's potential, as she said, the third grade is very difficult.
At this time, Bai Shishi smiled again, and said softly:
"If decades later, you still haven't tired of me... Maybe you can use magic to keep my soul and let me be a ghost attendant by your side?"
this……
In the future, Shen Lang will really have such means.
But it's not his own means, but Xiao Gu's and Xiao Zhao's supernatural powers.
If Xiaogu becomes Emperor Yan Moming in the future, he will have the ability to rule the underworld and control all ghosts.
Xiao Zhao can also control the "Heroic Spirit".
If Bai Shishi really does not have the blessing of longevity in the future, then switching to the ghost way and cultivating ghosts and immortals is also an alternative way of longevity.
Now Shen Lang nodded:
"Okay, that's it. But even so, you can't slacken in your martial arts practice. I will let the little skull and the little rabbit accompany you to practice moves. You should work hard!"
"what?"
Bai Shishi's face collapsed, she didn't expect that in the end, she would still have to practice with the little skull and little rabbit she was most afraid of...
Shen Lang smiled and said:
"If you want to stay with me all the time, even if you become a ghost, you have to live at least until I have the ability to keep your soul. Your last mission was almost trapped by zombies; the previous mission, You were almost beheaded by a cult master. And when you first came to Xingyefang to look for me, you also had a wound on your neck, and you were almost beheaded.
"You are almost killed like this, how can you have a chance to live for decades? So you must work hard!"
With a sullen face, Bai Shishi nodded helplessly:
"Okay then, just follow your arrangement."
After arranging the practice of Bai Shishi, Shen Lang released the little goblins again, told Xiaogu and Xiaoya about practicing with Bai Shishi, and told the little goblins to move freely.
Xiao Zhao is restless, he seems to be going to the West Market to see the western scenery, so Xiao Ye goes with him.
Xiaogu and Xiaoya are housebound by nature, and Shen Lang entrusted them to stay at home to practice.
Xiaoyu wanted to go to the West Market with Xiaozhao and Xiaoye, but he was a fish, wrapped in a water polo and rolled into the street, he would be caught and studied.Let Xiao Zhao hold it, and Xiao Ye hold it, it's even more strange that way.
Xiaoyu had no choice but to stay at home and practice hard, trying to form a demon pill and a horned dragon as soon as possible.
That way you can go out on your own.
Hey, it doesn't seem right, going out alone seems to be more likely to cause trouble?
The little fish sank motionless at the bottom of the fish pond, lost in thought.
In the alchemy room, Shen Lang opened the furnace to test the fourth-grade "Quenching True Pill".
In other words, the first thing he tried to refine was this panacea, but he failed twice, wasting a lot of materials.
Although the materials were all handed in, and he didn't feel bad about wasting them, he still learned his lesson and started practicing from the ninth grade. Until today, he tried to refine the "Quenzhen Pill" again.
In fact, during this period of learning alchemy, Shen Lang had almost consumed all the materials he had seized.
Gu Hongye asked Gu Hongye to take the alchemy out, except for some of it for his own use, to the Shenchuitang, where he sold it for money or exchanged it for alchemy materials.
Therefore, when he began to refine the fourth-grade pill today, he still had enough materials for the fourth-grade pill, so he didn't need to spend money to buy it for the time being.
From alchemy to today, Shen Lang's alchemy has made great progress. At least when refining fifth-grade pills, he can already guarantee that the scrap rate does not exceed [-]%—well, the pills used in the fifth-rank martial arts have such a high waste If a real alchemy expert finds out about it, he will probably laugh out loud.
But Shen Lang felt fine.
How long has it been since buddy learned alchemy?
In less than a month, he has refined a fifth-grade pill. Isn't that genius enough?
Anyway, he felt that with his current skills, it shouldn't be a problem to refine the fourth-grade alchemy.
He also relied on his strong family background, he was willing to use materials, and he didn't have any mentality of worrying about gains and losses. He could refine the alchemy freely and in one go, and he smelted three furnaces in one go on the spot.
Shen Lang said that it was normal, how can alchemy not fail?
Not only myself, but other alchemists, if they can succeed again and again, the panacea on the market will not be so expensive, will they?
Well, he didn't think about the possibility that the alchemists reached a tacit agreement, united monopoly, and unanimously raised the price...
After one sip until the afternoon, he refined four furnaces of pills again, and at the eighth furnace, Shen Lang finally succeeded in refining the "Quenching True Pill" for the first time.
Although there are ten pills in total in this furnace, seven of them are useless pills with no spirituality, and the quality of the remaining three good pills is also very low. It's useful, the warriors in the early stage of the fourth rank are free, but this is at least a good start.
Shen Lang believes that with the first success, it will become more and more successful in the future.
When Gu Hongye was on duty, he and Bai Shishi made dinner together, and called Shen Lang out for dinner.
Shen Lang came out with a small gourd, and gave all the pills inside to Bai Shishi.
Since the first refining of the "Quenzhen Pill", he opened three furnaces in a row, and each furnace was finished, but the scrap rate remained stable at [-]%, and the [-]% of the finished products were always only useful for beginners of the fourth rank...
There was no other way, so I had to buy all the Bai Shishi who had just entered the fourth grade.
"tomorrow!"
Shen Lang made a solemn promise to Gu Hongye:
"Tomorrow, I will definitely be able to refine a higher-grade Quenching Pill, and then you will have some red leaves."
Gu Hongye smiled:
"I'm not in a hurry. I have something to do today, and I feel a little strange."
Shen Lang asked:
"What's the matter?"
Gu Hongye said seriously:
"Today I was assigned to patrol the West Market again. When I was eating at a western tavern at noon, I accidentally heard someone asking about you."
Shen Lang smiled disapprovingly:
"Inquire about my news? Do I still need to inquire about my news? Go to any restaurant, find a waiter at random, reward a golden bean, and ask: Have you heard of the cold-blooded man Tu Shenlang? Can the waiter keep it?" Let’s talk about half an hour without rest.”
He really wasn't bragging.
The case of the elders of the Star Perishing Sect offering sacrifices to the Demon Buddha and the sacrifice of living people has been settled under the solid evidence collected by Shen Lang and Duguxue's confession.
Duguxue was sentenced to beheaded and abandoned the city, and the other three elders of the Star Perishing Sect were sentenced to beheaded. " to take them away.
It's a pity that this time it's in the capital, which is different from the time in Yingzhou. This time, Yan Tianying is on top, and the emperor's secret decree is not working.
When the tribute ceremony is over, Duguxue and the others will choose a day to perform the slaughter.
Shen Lang didn't feel sorry for Duguxue, a silk puppet.
When he used the technique of "drawing the silk" to control Duguxue, it was only for information, not for a third-rank entry-level puppet.
Now that the goal has been achieved, Shen Lang doesn't want to torment her anymore.
After all, Duguxue can barely be considered a poor person, and there is a reason for her perversion. Although this cannot offset her sins, at least Shen Lang will no longer use her as a puppet to enslave, and will not use her as a bomber. It would be considered compassionate to her if it was cut in half.
Now that the case has become an iron case, the details of the case must of course be announced to the world.
So Shen Lang used his own strength to capture Duguxue, slay Duguwei, and subdue the record of Xingdemen. In a blink of an eye, it spread throughout the capital, and spread to the entire Eastland at a super fast speed through the imperial court report.
The "Cold-Blooded Murderer" Shen Lang finally became famous this time.
Those feats that were only circulated in the black market before: the Battle of King Shark Island, the anti-killing battle in Yingzhou, the Seven Spider Sisters incident, the Capital Killer Desolation incident... were also dug up by some kind-hearted people and released to the public for free.
In short, although Shen Lang didn't leave home during this period of time, he was already popular in the capital, he was already the top class in the capital, and would soon become the top class in the world, and his reputation would be second only to Mu Qingxue.
There is no way, Shen Lang's reputation cannot surpass Mu Qingxue's.
Because Mu Qingxue's public record from the second half of last year to the beginning of this year is even more exaggerated:
Heilian Demon Nest beheaded a third-rank warrior, fought against the remnants of the Dalun King Kong Temple, fought thousands of miles in the desert, and killed a third-rank monk and two fourth-rank Dharma practitioners.On the second day of the second-rank Dacheng, he beheaded the master of the Yujing Temple and the third-rank dharma practitioner Guo Kai.After the beginning of spring, he also beheaded an evil dragon whose physical strength was not inferior to a third-rank Dacheng, and who had some black arts.
Although Guo Kai is just a partial Gu master, and his strength is far inferior to the third-rank Dharma cultivator from the famous sect and the Imperial Capital Taoist Academy, why is he also a third-rank?
So now Mu Qingxue is the real number one in the world, and Shen Lang can only be ranked second.
But no matter what, if you want to inquire about Shen Lang now, you don't need to go to the black market to buy information.
You only need to find any restaurant, and you can easily inquire about all the information about Shen Lang's performance since his debut.
Of course, some top-secret information was only circulated among a few people like Yan Tianying.
For example, no one knows about the Fengwang Baozhu except Shen Lang and the little demons.
Killing Lian Yunxiao, the purple-clothed man, fighting the spider mother, and the remnant soul of the Snow Mountain Goddess were only known to a few people, including Yan Tianying, Master Wanfa, Venerable Liuli, Senior Sister, and Mu Qingxue.
Otherwise, Shen Lang's reputation would be even more shocking.
Shen Lang felt that with his current reputation, if he sold the "Quenching Pill" for money, even if it was just a low-quality Quenching Pill, as long as he put up his own golden signboard and declared that it was made by "Cold-Blooded Human Butcher", it would be impossible to say It can lead to pursuit and sell at a high price.
Maybe it can even cause all kinds of fights against the rich, killing people and seizing treasures at the black market auction...
With such a great reputation, there are a lot of people who have offended him. Now Shen Lang is full of lice, not worried about debts, and really doesn't care who is inquired about.
In other words, with his current reputation and the forces he has offended, it is strange that no one asks about him.
Seeing Shen Lang's indifferent appearance, Gu Hongye had to say solemnly:
"Of course I know that you are now famous all over the world, even women and children in the capital. But the person who inquired about you this time is really different. The person who inquired about you was a Westerner, and the news about you was not yours. Records or something, but some trivial information."
Shen Lang became a little interested:
"What trivial information?"
Gu Hongye frowned, recalling:
"I asked you what you like to eat, what kind of tea and wine you like, what color silk and cloth you like, do you have any special preferences for antiques, calligraphy and paintings... and what color gemstones you like, what type of women you like, What kind of game do you like to play... In short, I asked in great detail."
Hearing this, Bai Shishi clapped her chopsticks and said in a deep voice:
"Based on my experience, this is someone trying to kill you. Asking what you like to eat and drink, this is trying to poison you. What kind of fabrics, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, gems do you like, it is not only poisoning, but also arranging hidden weapons. Asking what kind of woman you like is a beauty trick to assassinate, asking what kind of game you like is trying to design a trap..."
She looked at Shen Lang and said solemnly:
"Shen Butou, someone is definitely trying to harm you!"
Speaking of which, Bai Shishi and Gu Hongye's names for Shen Lang are also quite interesting.
When talking about serious things, they called him "Shen Butou", or even "Shen Lang" directly, and when they talked privately, they called him "Master".
Sometimes Gu Hongye would get excited during practice with him, and would keep crying about her good brother and little daddy.
Bai Shishi hasn't used the latter two names for him yet, but it is estimated that she will soon follow Gu Hongye's example and call him "Master".
At this moment, Bai Shishi felt that this information was worthy of attention, and the situation was a bit serious, so she unconsciously became serious, and called it "Shen catcher".
Shen Lang smiled:
"There are too many people who want to kill me. It doesn't matter whether it's poisoning, beauty tricks, or other mechanisms or traps. I've been mentally prepared for this. But Hongye said just now that he is a Westerner. Are you looking for news about me? Hongye, you can understand the Western language?”
"The Yi people inquired about the news in the Eastern language, and the official language is quite fluent."
Gu Hongye said:
"The person he inquired about was a middle-aged fat man dressed as a wealthy businessman. I followed that fat man secretly, but he dumped him. That fat man, who is not impressive, is actually a Dharma cultivator. His appearance is also fake.
"Fortunately, I still remembered the characteristics of the barbarian. There was a badge pinned to the collar of the barbarian. After I lost the fat man, I went to various Western guild halls to look for it, and found the shape of the barbarian's badge. , is exactly the same as the emblem on the gate of the 'Storm Kingdom' guild hall..."
Shen Lang was a little puzzled:
"The Kingdom of Storms?"
He has been in Dachu for so long, and he hardly has a moment of leisure. He is either busy practicing or running around handling cases every day. He really has never really learned about Western countries.
Gu Hongye was sent to patrol the West Market, so he had done his homework, so he explained:
"The Kingdom of Storms is a powerful country in the Western Continent. It mainly believes in the northern gods headed by the 'King of the North Wind'. The king's family is said to be the descendants of the ancient 'Red Dragon King', with the blood of the Red Dragon flowing.
"This time, the Kingdom of Storms also sent envoys to the east along with the western countries. The leader of the envoys of the Kingdom of Storms is the daughter of the contemporary king, the second in line to the throne, Princess Azalia."
[Seek a monthly pass~! 】
(End of this chapter)
"Master, the water is ready, you can take a bath."
Hearing Gu Hongye's greeting, Shen Lang finished his meditation, got up and went to the bathroom.
She pushed open the half-covered door and went in, but she didn't see Gu Hongye—at this time in the past, she was always dressed in cool clothes, waiting for Master Shen to come.
"Bai Shishi is here too, so are you embarrassed?"
Shen Lang pondered in his heart, and went straight to the oversized tub that Gu Hongye paid for and ordered, and did it himself, took off his clothes, jumped into the tub, and took a comfortable bath.
While soaking, the bathroom door opens.
Gu Hongye, who only wore a fiery red tube top and white gauze short skirt, walked in with a smile, and Bai Shishi followed behind.
Shen Lang raised his eyes, and saw that Bai Shishi only had a palm-width black tube top, and a short white gauze skirt that barely covered the bottom of her legs. Her small waist, long legs, and snow-white belly , Deep gullies and dangerous gullies are all displayed.
Shen Lang could even tell at a glance that Bai Shishi was the same as Gu Hongye, the inside of the short skirt was pure and natural...
The current situation, to be honest, is really beyond Shen Lang's expectation.
He originally thought that Gu Hongye would feel embarrassed to come to take a bath for him because of Bai Shishi's presence, but he didn't expect that Miss Hongye not only came, but also pulled Bai Shishi over.
Speaking of...
Shen Lang has fooled Bai Shishi more than once with "next time will be sure". In today's situation, it seems that he cannot escape the demon's clutches.
So, are there two opponents tonight?
Neither Bai Shishi nor Gu Hongye are weak women, they are both physically strong fourth-rank warriors...
Gu Hongye possesses a tongue skill like a snake demon, and his legs and feet are also very sharp.
Although Bai Shishi hasn't practiced that serious magic skill yet, she is specialized in claw skills, and those slender hands that look white and soft also have a very solid grasping skill.
The two join forces...
Shen Lang felt that he might face a very severe challenge tonight!
However, it didn't take long for Shen Lang, who was waiting in battle, to realize that he really overestimated Bai Shishi.
This witch has repeatedly tempted Shen Lang with the cheek to make Shen Lang think that although she has no practical experience, she has great potential and is just waiting for a chance to prove herself, so she is very wary of her.
Unexpectedly, Bai Shishi was just a talkative king at all, and she was already trembling with excitement when she watched and learned how Gu Hongye served the master.
After Gu Hongye finished her demonstration, she pushed Bai Shishi into Shen Lang's arms. Shen Lang just hugged her waist lightly, and then washed her face habitually on her chest. She trembled violently and almost passed out. In a short time, it has been covered with pulp and honey...
Well, the severe challenge that Shen Lang expected did not appear.
An hour later.
Shen Lang walked out of the bathroom refreshed and went back to practice.
Gu Hongye half supported and half hugged Bai Shishi, took her to her bedroom, and sent her to the couch.
Seeing Bai Shishi paralyzed as soon as she got on the bed, as if her bones had been taken out of her body, and her eyes were blurred like sleepwalking, Gu Hongye couldn't help feeling:
"Shishi, I really didn't expect you to be so weak. You've lost all your strength before you've even made a move..."
Bai Shishi rolled her eyes slightly, looked at Gu Hongye, then slowly closed her eyes, and said in a sleepy tone:
"I just went through a near-death adventure... I'm really not in good shape... But I have already remembered how you served the master. Next time, I will definitely perform better next time..."
Gu Hongye chuckled lightly:
"For my kung fu, it's useless to memorize the technique alone. In addition, you still lack tempering. As long as you are like this, no matter how many times you do it again, your performance will not be better than today."
Bai Shishi said quietly:
"Aren't you talking nonsense? I'm still a girl, so it's impossible for me to have any temper..."
Gu Hongye sat on the side of the couch, looked at Bai Shishi's beautiful figure that resembled hills, especially under her slender waist, and her round buttocks protruding in an astonishing arc, she couldn't help licking her lips, and said solemnly :
"The reason why you failed so miserably is because you have not been sharpened and are vulnerable to a single blow. The second is that you have not learned real kung fu. By the way, last time I caught a flower picker, I got a magical secret book... Do you want me to teach you?" ?”
Bai Shishi wondered:
"The magic trick of the flower picker? Isn't that an evil kung fu?"
Gu Hongye said seriously:
"It's not evil kung fu, it's a decent martial art. The master has personally certified it, and he has also practiced it."
Startled, Bai Shishi tried her best to stand up and held Gu Hongye's hand:
"No wonder I lost so badly. It turns out that you all have practiced real kung fu! Good sister, can you teach me your magic kung fu?"
Gu Hongye glanced at Bai Shishi's breasts that far surpassed her own, then looked at her slender waist and plump buttocks, a subtle smile appeared on the corners of her lips:
"We are all the dowry maids of Master Mu, and we should advance and retreat together. Of course, I will teach you this kind of kung fu. But you can't easily learn this kind of kung fu just by listening to me. practice."
"Practice? Go to the master?"
"Of course I'm not looking for the master. The master is a master of martial arts and martial arts. You have to practice martial arts and spells. The time is already tight, and now you are learning alchemy. You can relax for a while every day when you take a bath. How can I have time to practice kung fu with you?"
Gu Hongye held Bai Shishi's hand backhand:
"It's you who learn and practice with me first, practice your kung fu well, and then go to the master..."
Bai Shishi's eyes widened:
"Me, me and you? But we are both women!"
"Otherwise?" Gu Hongye was surprised: "Can you find a man other than the master to practice it?"
Bai Shishi is categorical:
"Of course that's impossible! I have been greatly favored by the master for reinvention. I am his man when I am born, and I will be his ghost after death."
Gu Hongye spread her hands together:
"Since that's the case, then I can only teach you the actual combat moves while passing on your mental formulas. Besides, this kind of actual combat teaching can also sharpen you-you fainted like that tonight. Not to mention being able to serve the master well, but being served by the master... Isn't the world upside down? How can there be a reason for a master to serve a maid in the world?
"Shishi, we are all women, and we are all Mu Daren and Shen Butou. At that time, we have to serve Mu Daren and Shen Butou together. Let's learn from each other. There is nothing to be shy about, right? I even have a Thoughts, tomorrow night, when we serve the master to take a bath, let's perform a show first to cheer the master up, what do you think?"
"..."
Bai Shishi looked surprised: "Can you still play like this?"
Gu Hongye said seriously:
"Why not? In that magical skill, there is a performance to add to the fun. The master has read the whole book, and he knows it."
"Uh……"
Bai Shishi wrung her fingers, with a troubled expression on her face.
For a while, she felt that what Gu Hongye said was quite reasonable, and for a while, she felt that something was wrong, and she couldn't tell exactly what was wrong, and she was quite at a loss for a while.
Gu Hongye put one arm around her slender waist, and the other fell on her thigh, and said seriously:
"If you want to serve the master well, you should learn from me seriously. Don't worry, I won't keep any secrets from you, but I will teach you all the kung fu I know."
Bai Shishi was stunned, feeling a little moved in her heart. Just as she was hesitating, Gu Hongye leaned over, laid her down again, looked down at her face, and asked:
"Then I'm starting now?"
Bai Shishi bit her lips lightly, then nodded vigorously:
"let's start!"
"Okay. Let me pass on your mental formula first..."
Gu Hongye bit Bai Shishi's earlobe, and began to teach magic skills...
When the two practice teaching.
Shen Lang was sitting cross-legged on the couch, meditating with his eyes closed, constructing Taoist runes.
During this period of time, he practiced alchemy every day during the day, practiced new spells at night to make up for his spell slots, and began to meditate and refine Qi at midnight.
Cultivate zhenqi until the eve of dawn, and then practice "contemplation" for another hour instead of sleep. After getting up and eating, after breakfast, do boxing and sword exercises to exercise the body, and then start alchemy again.
This goes on and on again and again, the rhythm of practice is full twelve hours a day, and there is almost no rest.
The reason for using "almost" is, of course, because every day when he takes a bath, he and Gu Hongye will participate in "serious magic skills" to relax.Occasionally, I would also enjoy Gu Hongye's back massage.
With his current cultivation base, sleep is no longer necessary, and meditation can be used instead.
Both mental and physical strength can be fully recovered during meditation.
At this moment, Shen Lang is constructing a rune for the fifth-grade spell "Thunderbolt".
After being promoted to the fourth rank, he has three more spell slots for each rank.
It's just that I haven't had time to fill it up before, and I only completed three fourth-rank spells, and then hurriedly started a new journey.
Now Yan Tianying gave him a vacation to let him settle down. Of course, he must hurry up and practice spells.
This time he did not make up the spell slots in order of rank.
Instead, according to your own interests, whichever spell you think is more interesting, you can construct whichever spell first, regardless of the level of the spell.
Anyway, the three fourth-rank spells have been cultivated, and all the spells of the lower third rank, and even the sixth-rank spells, have been practiced to be able to be cast instantly. They can face the third-rank Dacheng warriors without relying on magic weapons. The combat power is enough. Take care of your interests.
These days, he has successively cultivated several spells such as "Spiritual Flame Arrow, Explosive Finger, Ground Fire Spring", all of which are ninth-rank to sixth-rank spells with fire attributes that can be cast instantly.
Even though the level of the spell is not high, Shen Lang has the third-level "flame enhancement" that Xiao Ye gave back.
With the addition of flame enhancement, every fire spell should not be underestimated.
Like the eighth-grade "Explosive Flame Finger", once fired, granite the size of a millstone can be blasted into powder, which is more powerful than any cannon these days.
Waiting for a martial artist of the fourth rank, Shen Lang is even sure that only using the "Explosive Flame Finger" spell to bomb in a row can explode the opponent's body's protective zhenqi layer by layer, and then blow the opponent's body into pieces.
In other words, if it weren't for the fact that the spell attribute was too single, it would be easy to be targeted and restrained. Shen Lang, who has "fire enhancement", really wanted to wash all the spells into fire spells.
The fifth-grade spell "Thunderbolt Fire" constructed today is also a fire spell with both offensive and defensive capabilities.
This technique can cover the body surface with a layer of raging flames, making the whole person look like a burning man.
This layer of raging flames can resist and even incinerate the enemy's zhenqi and spells.
When the enemy attacks in close quarters, it will burst into flames to counterattack, causing explosion and burning damage to the enemy.
With the addition of "Fire Strengthening", this fifth-rank spell with the fire attribute will be as powerful as a fourth-rank spell.
If a martial artist approached and attacked him and slapped him with a palm, the flames on his body would erupt like a volcano while resisting and burning the opponent's palm.Even a third-rank martial artist would be injured if he didn't pay attention.
Before that, Shen Lang had spent five nights gradually constructing the rune frame of "Thunderbolt".Today it's just a matter of final filling in some details.Therefore, it didn't take long to complete the construction of the Taoist runes of "Thunderbolt".
To practice a new spell, of course you have to practice it.
At that moment, with a thought, he entered the Dianjingbi space.
It's all this time, and of course the goblins didn't go out to wander, they have already returned to the space to practice.
Seeing Shen Lang coming in, the goblins, who were used to the pace of his life during this period, immediately knew that he was going to practice spells. They found a good position one by one, opened their eyes, and prepared to watch and comment.
Shen Lang laughed, put on a majestic posture, and quickly made a seal with both hands - a fourth-rank magic cultivation, and he couldn't cast fifth-rank spells instantly.You have to wait until the third grade.
I have just successfully constructed the Taoist rune, and it is the first time to practice it. Of course, I will not be too proficient in casting spells.
It took a full three or four seconds before Shen Lang successfully formed the seal, and there was a bang on his body, and a raging flame ignited.
Orange flames wrapped him from head to toe, and his whole body seemed to be made of pure flames.
Of course this is just an illusion.
The flames were only attached to the surface of his body.
His body is still flesh and blood, and has not really turned into a flame form.
Even so, seeing the raging flames on his body, and a foot-high orange flame sprouting above his head, the goblins still applauded in unison.
"Shen Lang is so majestic!"
"The host is great!"
Xiaozhao, Xiaoya, and Xiaogu applauded for their face, while clapping their paws and bone hands.
The little fish had no claws to slap, so he slapped the water quickly with his tail, and still got warm applause.
Only Xiao Ye, who could see through the flames, raised her wingtips after saying hello, and snickered softly while covering her bird's beak.
It is standing on Xiaogu's shoulder right now, hearing its laughter, Xiaogu couldn't help but glance at it sideways, and asked in his heart:
【what are you laughing at? 】
Xiao Ye giggled, put her head close to Xiao Gu's head, and whispered:
"The clothes on Shen Lang's body were all burned to ashes, he is really running now..."
[Clothes burned out? 】
The red light in Xiaogu's eye sockets suddenly lit up, and he turned his head to stare at Shen Lang.
It's a pity that it doesn't have the vision of Xiao Ye. It can only see the light emitted by Shen Lang's Yuanshen, but it can't see through the flames on his body and see his condition.
The same goes for Xiao Zhao, Xiao Ya, and Xiao Yu, all applauding and applauding, but they couldn't see the truth.
Shen Lang was very embarrassed.
Immediately, he noticed that his clothes were instantly wiped out, and he glanced at the little fairies with a guilty conscience.
Seeing that the reactions of cats, rabbits, and fish were normal, but Little Fire Crow and Little Skeleton looked a little weird, Shen Lang felt a little uneasy in his heart, so he quickly turned around, turned his back to Xiao Ye and Xiao Gu, and thought about it. :
This spell is a bit tricky!
In the introduction to the spell in the Taoist book, it didn't say that it would burn clothes!Not good, my hair eyebrows!
He quickly raised his hand to touch his hair and eyebrow hair, and found that the hair was still there, so he was slightly relieved.
He said to himself that it seems that the hair and eyebrows are considered part of my body by default, so they are not burned by the flames.But the clothes should belong to "things outside the body", and they are not armor made of special materials, so naturally they cannot withstand such a fierce flame.
"It's no wonder that the Taoism book of 'Thunderbolt Fire' has been piled up in dust in the Sutra Library of the Taoist Academy, and it looks like no one cares about it. All the fifth-rank Dharma cultivators know the disadvantages of this spell!"
Shen Lang, who has no one to point him to, takes this spell as a treasure.
Depressed for a while, Shen Lang comforted himself again:
Although the clothes will be wiped out after the spell is cast, this spell has a domineering appearance and is very powerful. In the "Thunderbolt" state, the whole body is covered with flames, and ordinary people do not have the vision to see through the flames and see the truth.
So what if the bird runs away?
Didn't the ancestors of mankind come here like this?
This is what I call returning to the basics and returning to the truth, learning from the ancients!
Besides, Brother Lang, I still have two pairs of precious armor, one is Lian Yunxiao's "White Dragon Armor", and the other is Hu Dali's "Black Star Battle Armor", both of which can withstand the flames, at worst, I will put on the armor before casting spells .
After making psychological suggestions, Shen Lang maintained the "Thunderbolt" form, with his hands behind his back, standing proudly, as if nothing had happened, accepting the applause and flattery of Xiao Zhao, Xiao Ya, and Xiao Yu who didn't know the truth, and then suddenly slapped his head:
"Oh, I still have something to do, I'm going out first!"
When it's over, quickly exit the Dianjingbi space.
Xiao Zhao has three puzzles: After learning a new spell, why did he only show it for a short while and then leave?
Everyone hasn't had a blast yet.
Xiao Ye supported Xiao Gu's head with her wings, and laughed so hard that Xiao Zhao and the three were even more confused.
As soon as Shen Lang left the space, he quickly ended the spell and extinguished the flames, so as not to cause a fire.
Then he opened the closet, casually found a long robe and wrapped it around his body, ending the state of being a bird.
He didn't intend to ask Xiao Ye if he saw anything - anyway, as long as I don't ask, it can be assumed that it didn't see anything.
Quickly put aside the little embarrassment with a strong state of mind, Shen Lang continued to practice tonight as if nothing had happened.
Early the next morning.
As soon as Shen Lang finished his training, Gu Hongye was stuck in time, and brought him face wash, toothbrush, and tooth powder, and helped him to wash up.
"Hongye, there's no need to do this. I'm used to doing things myself. During this period of time, you've been serving me like you're serving an old man. You're almost turning me into a slob."
Gu Hongye smiled and said:
"But you are my master in the first place! Besides, you have so much homework in practice, and you are also busy making alchemy. How can you waste time on trivial matters? Just leave it to me. I just need to practice martial arts anyway. Hehe, I also pointed out that After you refine the fourth-grade panacea, you will enjoy the blessings."
Shen Lang laughed:
"Don't worry, you are indispensable."
After serving Shen Lang to wash up, Gu Hongye said again:
"I had dumplings today, stuffed with leeks and pork, and Shishi had already wrapped them in the kitchen. Her fingers were very flexible, and the dumplings she made were very beautiful. I bought some good vinegar in West Market yesterday. Today's meal Dumplings, make sure you eat comfortably."
Shen Lang smiled and said:
"Then I can sit back and enjoy it."
"I'll call you when the dumplings are ready."
Gu Hongye was about to go out when she suddenly remembered something and said lightly:
"By the way, I taught Shishi's kung fu last night."
Shen Lang didn't react for a moment:
"Which skill?"
Gu Hongye said softly:
"It's the one we practiced."
Shen Lang didn't take it seriously at first:
"Just pass it on. Shishi is too weak, you have to practice this kind of kung fu."
Gu Hongye smiled sweetly and winked at him:
"I'm very good at poetry and poetry, I'll have a surprise tonight."
After Gu Hongye went out, Shen Lang suddenly recalled:
"Shi Shi learns kung fu very quickly? How does Hongye know that she is a fast learner of kung fu?"
In that serious kung fu, the mentality is not so difficult and obscure, but it has a variety of moves.
But how well the moves are learned, you can't tell just by looking at them, you have to practice them.
So Hongye and Shishi were still there last night?
Thinking of the "surprise" Gu Hongye said, Shen Lang's eyes couldn't help becoming a little subtle, and even felt that Gu Hongye's words "Shishi's fingers are very flexible" were full of some evil hints.
When the dumplings were cooked and they were eating at the same table, Shen Lang couldn't help looking at Gu Hongye and Bai Shishi for a while, his eyes were very subtle.
After all, Gu Hongye had been sparring with Shen Lang for a long time, and knew him almost well, so she looked nonchalant, and occasionally even looked at Shen Lang, and gave him a mysterious and charming smile.
Bai Shishi couldn't stand it any longer. She ate dumplings with red earlobes and lowered her head, and didn't care about dipping them in vinegar. She didn't have the old witch who always teased Shen Lang and satirized him "what's the use of raising birds" from time to time. demeanor.
Seeing Bai Shishi's reaction, Shen Lang became more and more sure of his guess.
So after breakfast, Bai Shishi went to pack the dishes as if fleeing, while Shen Lang got up and sent Gu Hongye, who was fully equipped and going to the Yamen to work, out of the door, grabbed her and asked in a low voice:
"What on earth are you planning?"
"Of course it's teaching Shishi how to serve the master."
Gu Hongye smiled sweetly, stood on tiptoe, and smacked Shen Lang's face:
"I have a surprise for you tonight."
After speaking, he waved to Shen Lang again, turned and left.
Looking at Gu Hongye's back, Shen Lang hugged his chest with one hand and touched his chin with the other, imagining tonight's show, let alone, I'm really looking forward to it.
Back in the yard, Shen Lang came to the kitchen, thought for a while, held back his curiosity, and didn't inquire about any special program tonight, but only said to Bai Shishi:
"Recently, I practice alchemy during the day and don't eat at noon. Shishi, you can just prepare lunch for yourself."
Bai Shishi's ears were red, she didn't dare to look back at him, she whispered:
"Ok."
Seeing her shy look, and thinking about her arrogance when she teased and teased him in the past, and even bluntly said "what's the use of this iron rod", Shen Lang couldn't help being a little funny for a while.
But he is a man with a big heart after all, he didn't seize this opportunity to laugh at her, he just said:
"If you want to practice internal strength, you can meditate in the room next to my alchemy room. If you want to practice moves, you can compete with the little skulls."
Compete with Little Skull?
Bai Shishi was so excited that she couldn't care less about being shy, she turned her head and waved at Shen Lang again and again:
"This is really unnecessary."
Shen Lang said seriously:
"As a warrior, no matter how steady and cautious you are, you should have nothing to fear in your heart. If there is a shadow in your heart, how can you climb to the top?"
Bai Shishi looked puzzled:
"As far as my material is concerned... the third grade is very difficult, let alone the highest grade."
Shen Lang frowned:
"However, I am a man with aspirations to live forever. Are you planning to stay by my side only and be a servant girl for decades?"
Bai Shishi looked at Shen Lang, and rarely showed a gentle smile:
"Being able to be your servant girl for decades, I'm already satisfied! Only a fairy like Mr. Mu can live with you forever."
"..."
Shen Lang opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but was a little speechless.
Practice can only rely on oneself, especially some life and death tests, no one can intervene.
Shen Lang's hanging is only useful for goblins, and cannot help humans improve their cultivation and break through bottlenecks, let alone life and death.
As for Bai Shishi's potential, as she said, the third grade is very difficult.
At this time, Bai Shishi smiled again, and said softly:
"If decades later, you still haven't tired of me... Maybe you can use magic to keep my soul and let me be a ghost attendant by your side?"
this……
In the future, Shen Lang will really have such means.
But it's not his own means, but Xiao Gu's and Xiao Zhao's supernatural powers.
If Xiaogu becomes Emperor Yan Moming in the future, he will have the ability to rule the underworld and control all ghosts.
Xiao Zhao can also control the "Heroic Spirit".
If Bai Shishi really does not have the blessing of longevity in the future, then switching to the ghost way and cultivating ghosts and immortals is also an alternative way of longevity.
Now Shen Lang nodded:
"Okay, that's it. But even so, you can't slacken in your martial arts practice. I will let the little skull and the little rabbit accompany you to practice moves. You should work hard!"
"what?"
Bai Shishi's face collapsed, she didn't expect that in the end, she would still have to practice with the little skull and little rabbit she was most afraid of...
Shen Lang smiled and said:
"If you want to stay with me all the time, even if you become a ghost, you have to live at least until I have the ability to keep your soul. Your last mission was almost trapped by zombies; the previous mission, You were almost beheaded by a cult master. And when you first came to Xingyefang to look for me, you also had a wound on your neck, and you were almost beheaded.
"You are almost killed like this, how can you have a chance to live for decades? So you must work hard!"
With a sullen face, Bai Shishi nodded helplessly:
"Okay then, just follow your arrangement."
After arranging the practice of Bai Shishi, Shen Lang released the little goblins again, told Xiaogu and Xiaoya about practicing with Bai Shishi, and told the little goblins to move freely.
Xiao Zhao is restless, he seems to be going to the West Market to see the western scenery, so Xiao Ye goes with him.
Xiaogu and Xiaoya are housebound by nature, and Shen Lang entrusted them to stay at home to practice.
Xiaoyu wanted to go to the West Market with Xiaozhao and Xiaoye, but he was a fish, wrapped in a water polo and rolled into the street, he would be caught and studied.Let Xiao Zhao hold it, and Xiao Ye hold it, it's even more strange that way.
Xiaoyu had no choice but to stay at home and practice hard, trying to form a demon pill and a horned dragon as soon as possible.
That way you can go out on your own.
Hey, it doesn't seem right, going out alone seems to be more likely to cause trouble?
The little fish sank motionless at the bottom of the fish pond, lost in thought.
In the alchemy room, Shen Lang opened the furnace to test the fourth-grade "Quenching True Pill".
In other words, the first thing he tried to refine was this panacea, but he failed twice, wasting a lot of materials.
Although the materials were all handed in, and he didn't feel bad about wasting them, he still learned his lesson and started practicing from the ninth grade. Until today, he tried to refine the "Quenzhen Pill" again.
In fact, during this period of learning alchemy, Shen Lang had almost consumed all the materials he had seized.
Gu Hongye asked Gu Hongye to take the alchemy out, except for some of it for his own use, to the Shenchuitang, where he sold it for money or exchanged it for alchemy materials.
Therefore, when he began to refine the fourth-grade pill today, he still had enough materials for the fourth-grade pill, so he didn't need to spend money to buy it for the time being.
From alchemy to today, Shen Lang's alchemy has made great progress. At least when refining fifth-grade pills, he can already guarantee that the scrap rate does not exceed [-]%—well, the pills used in the fifth-rank martial arts have such a high waste If a real alchemy expert finds out about it, he will probably laugh out loud.
But Shen Lang felt fine.
How long has it been since buddy learned alchemy?
In less than a month, he has refined a fifth-grade pill. Isn't that genius enough?
Anyway, he felt that with his current skills, it shouldn't be a problem to refine the fourth-grade alchemy.
He also relied on his strong family background, he was willing to use materials, and he didn't have any mentality of worrying about gains and losses. He could refine the alchemy freely and in one go, and he smelted three furnaces in one go on the spot.
Shen Lang said that it was normal, how can alchemy not fail?
Not only myself, but other alchemists, if they can succeed again and again, the panacea on the market will not be so expensive, will they?
Well, he didn't think about the possibility that the alchemists reached a tacit agreement, united monopoly, and unanimously raised the price...
After one sip until the afternoon, he refined four furnaces of pills again, and at the eighth furnace, Shen Lang finally succeeded in refining the "Quenching True Pill" for the first time.
Although there are ten pills in total in this furnace, seven of them are useless pills with no spirituality, and the quality of the remaining three good pills is also very low. It's useful, the warriors in the early stage of the fourth rank are free, but this is at least a good start.
Shen Lang believes that with the first success, it will become more and more successful in the future.
When Gu Hongye was on duty, he and Bai Shishi made dinner together, and called Shen Lang out for dinner.
Shen Lang came out with a small gourd, and gave all the pills inside to Bai Shishi.
Since the first refining of the "Quenzhen Pill", he opened three furnaces in a row, and each furnace was finished, but the scrap rate remained stable at [-]%, and the [-]% of the finished products were always only useful for beginners of the fourth rank...
There was no other way, so I had to buy all the Bai Shishi who had just entered the fourth grade.
"tomorrow!"
Shen Lang made a solemn promise to Gu Hongye:
"Tomorrow, I will definitely be able to refine a higher-grade Quenching Pill, and then you will have some red leaves."
Gu Hongye smiled:
"I'm not in a hurry. I have something to do today, and I feel a little strange."
Shen Lang asked:
"What's the matter?"
Gu Hongye said seriously:
"Today I was assigned to patrol the West Market again. When I was eating at a western tavern at noon, I accidentally heard someone asking about you."
Shen Lang smiled disapprovingly:
"Inquire about my news? Do I still need to inquire about my news? Go to any restaurant, find a waiter at random, reward a golden bean, and ask: Have you heard of the cold-blooded man Tu Shenlang? Can the waiter keep it?" Let’s talk about half an hour without rest.”
He really wasn't bragging.
The case of the elders of the Star Perishing Sect offering sacrifices to the Demon Buddha and the sacrifice of living people has been settled under the solid evidence collected by Shen Lang and Duguxue's confession.
Duguxue was sentenced to beheaded and abandoned the city, and the other three elders of the Star Perishing Sect were sentenced to beheaded. " to take them away.
It's a pity that this time it's in the capital, which is different from the time in Yingzhou. This time, Yan Tianying is on top, and the emperor's secret decree is not working.
When the tribute ceremony is over, Duguxue and the others will choose a day to perform the slaughter.
Shen Lang didn't feel sorry for Duguxue, a silk puppet.
When he used the technique of "drawing the silk" to control Duguxue, it was only for information, not for a third-rank entry-level puppet.
Now that the goal has been achieved, Shen Lang doesn't want to torment her anymore.
After all, Duguxue can barely be considered a poor person, and there is a reason for her perversion. Although this cannot offset her sins, at least Shen Lang will no longer use her as a puppet to enslave, and will not use her as a bomber. It would be considered compassionate to her if it was cut in half.
Now that the case has become an iron case, the details of the case must of course be announced to the world.
So Shen Lang used his own strength to capture Duguxue, slay Duguwei, and subdue the record of Xingdemen. In a blink of an eye, it spread throughout the capital, and spread to the entire Eastland at a super fast speed through the imperial court report.
The "Cold-Blooded Murderer" Shen Lang finally became famous this time.
Those feats that were only circulated in the black market before: the Battle of King Shark Island, the anti-killing battle in Yingzhou, the Seven Spider Sisters incident, the Capital Killer Desolation incident... were also dug up by some kind-hearted people and released to the public for free.
In short, although Shen Lang didn't leave home during this period of time, he was already popular in the capital, he was already the top class in the capital, and would soon become the top class in the world, and his reputation would be second only to Mu Qingxue.
There is no way, Shen Lang's reputation cannot surpass Mu Qingxue's.
Because Mu Qingxue's public record from the second half of last year to the beginning of this year is even more exaggerated:
Heilian Demon Nest beheaded a third-rank warrior, fought against the remnants of the Dalun King Kong Temple, fought thousands of miles in the desert, and killed a third-rank monk and two fourth-rank Dharma practitioners.On the second day of the second-rank Dacheng, he beheaded the master of the Yujing Temple and the third-rank dharma practitioner Guo Kai.After the beginning of spring, he also beheaded an evil dragon whose physical strength was not inferior to a third-rank Dacheng, and who had some black arts.
Although Guo Kai is just a partial Gu master, and his strength is far inferior to the third-rank Dharma cultivator from the famous sect and the Imperial Capital Taoist Academy, why is he also a third-rank?
So now Mu Qingxue is the real number one in the world, and Shen Lang can only be ranked second.
But no matter what, if you want to inquire about Shen Lang now, you don't need to go to the black market to buy information.
You only need to find any restaurant, and you can easily inquire about all the information about Shen Lang's performance since his debut.
Of course, some top-secret information was only circulated among a few people like Yan Tianying.
For example, no one knows about the Fengwang Baozhu except Shen Lang and the little demons.
Killing Lian Yunxiao, the purple-clothed man, fighting the spider mother, and the remnant soul of the Snow Mountain Goddess were only known to a few people, including Yan Tianying, Master Wanfa, Venerable Liuli, Senior Sister, and Mu Qingxue.
Otherwise, Shen Lang's reputation would be even more shocking.
Shen Lang felt that with his current reputation, if he sold the "Quenching Pill" for money, even if it was just a low-quality Quenching Pill, as long as he put up his own golden signboard and declared that it was made by "Cold-Blooded Human Butcher", it would be impossible to say It can lead to pursuit and sell at a high price.
Maybe it can even cause all kinds of fights against the rich, killing people and seizing treasures at the black market auction...
With such a great reputation, there are a lot of people who have offended him. Now Shen Lang is full of lice, not worried about debts, and really doesn't care who is inquired about.
In other words, with his current reputation and the forces he has offended, it is strange that no one asks about him.
Seeing Shen Lang's indifferent appearance, Gu Hongye had to say solemnly:
"Of course I know that you are now famous all over the world, even women and children in the capital. But the person who inquired about you this time is really different. The person who inquired about you was a Westerner, and the news about you was not yours. Records or something, but some trivial information."
Shen Lang became a little interested:
"What trivial information?"
Gu Hongye frowned, recalling:
"I asked you what you like to eat, what kind of tea and wine you like, what color silk and cloth you like, do you have any special preferences for antiques, calligraphy and paintings... and what color gemstones you like, what type of women you like, What kind of game do you like to play... In short, I asked in great detail."
Hearing this, Bai Shishi clapped her chopsticks and said in a deep voice:
"Based on my experience, this is someone trying to kill you. Asking what you like to eat and drink, this is trying to poison you. What kind of fabrics, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, gems do you like, it is not only poisoning, but also arranging hidden weapons. Asking what kind of woman you like is a beauty trick to assassinate, asking what kind of game you like is trying to design a trap..."
She looked at Shen Lang and said solemnly:
"Shen Butou, someone is definitely trying to harm you!"
Speaking of which, Bai Shishi and Gu Hongye's names for Shen Lang are also quite interesting.
When talking about serious things, they called him "Shen Butou", or even "Shen Lang" directly, and when they talked privately, they called him "Master".
Sometimes Gu Hongye would get excited during practice with him, and would keep crying about her good brother and little daddy.
Bai Shishi hasn't used the latter two names for him yet, but it is estimated that she will soon follow Gu Hongye's example and call him "Master".
At this moment, Bai Shishi felt that this information was worthy of attention, and the situation was a bit serious, so she unconsciously became serious, and called it "Shen catcher".
Shen Lang smiled:
"There are too many people who want to kill me. It doesn't matter whether it's poisoning, beauty tricks, or other mechanisms or traps. I've been mentally prepared for this. But Hongye said just now that he is a Westerner. Are you looking for news about me? Hongye, you can understand the Western language?”
"The Yi people inquired about the news in the Eastern language, and the official language is quite fluent."
Gu Hongye said:
"The person he inquired about was a middle-aged fat man dressed as a wealthy businessman. I followed that fat man secretly, but he dumped him. That fat man, who is not impressive, is actually a Dharma cultivator. His appearance is also fake.
"Fortunately, I still remembered the characteristics of the barbarian. There was a badge pinned to the collar of the barbarian. After I lost the fat man, I went to various Western guild halls to look for it, and found the shape of the barbarian's badge. , is exactly the same as the emblem on the gate of the 'Storm Kingdom' guild hall..."
Shen Lang was a little puzzled:
"The Kingdom of Storms?"
He has been in Dachu for so long, and he hardly has a moment of leisure. He is either busy practicing or running around handling cases every day. He really has never really learned about Western countries.
Gu Hongye was sent to patrol the West Market, so he had done his homework, so he explained:
"The Kingdom of Storms is a powerful country in the Western Continent. It mainly believes in the northern gods headed by the 'King of the North Wind'. The king's family is said to be the descendants of the ancient 'Red Dragon King', with the blood of the Red Dragon flowing.
"This time, the Kingdom of Storms also sent envoys to the east along with the western countries. The leader of the envoys of the Kingdom of Storms is the daughter of the contemporary king, the second in line to the throne, Princess Azalia."
