Chapter 164 The Big Movie: Saving the Alchemist
Chapter 164 The Big Movie: Saving the Alchemist (6k)
"Since ancient times, autumn has been sad and lonely. I say that autumn is better than spring."
Yu Xian nestled in the empty mansion, stroking the little white tiger that had just taken on the shape of a tiger, and seeing the dead leaves falling with the wind, he felt quite comfortable.
It can even be said to be extremely relaxing.
Because Chen Yi took Magnolia up the mountain, it meant that no one was watching him.
Don't look at him speaking forcefully in front of Chen Yi, he looks like he can find as many women as he wants.
But after all, he didn't dare to challenge Chen Yi's patience at this moment, and messed around in front of her.
In case she is stimulated one day, has a wrong tendon, and suddenly wants to switch to the ruthless way, then he will be her first sacrifice.
This is not the world of my previous life.
No matter how scumbag a man is, as long as he doesn't break the law, at most he can be condemned on a moral level.
But in the world of cultivating immortals, being in a bad mood is a reason to destroy people everywhere.
He seems to be at ease, hugging left and right, and can ride Jindan Daoist under him, but in fact, only he knows that he is walking on thin ice in his heart.
Chen Yi was much stronger than him, once he offended her, he wouldn't even have a chance to escape.
This made him feel very insecure.
So after Chen Yi met her, his practice time almost doubled, and his entertainment time was greatly reduced.
It wasn't until the Heaven Deception Technique was promoted to the third level not long ago that he breathed a sigh of relief.
"However, we still have to break through the golden core realm as soon as possible."
Yu Xian secretly thought.
Life is like a box of chocolates, if you don't eat it, you won't know what it's like.
He used to have a good life.
But since Chen Yi came, his life has been in a mess, and he has lost his right to control.
Acting seems to be free, but in fact, Chen Yi's mood has been considered in every way.
In the final analysis, it still lacks its own strength.
Otherwise, even if Chen Yiyin's love turns into hatred, the worst thing they can do is break up and fight, and then continue to lie down and be uncles in another place.
"Made, I feel like I've been living in her shadow."
"Actually, she has been very kind to me..."
Yu Xian's good mood didn't last long, the more he thought about it, the more irritable he became, and then he rubbed the little white tiger's head vigorously.
Not to mention, the hair is soft and smooth, very silky feeling.
And probably because Magnolia has been taking care of it, it still has a faint fragrance, which is similar to the smell of Magnolia.
"Meow..."
Ah Meow made a protesting sound, and a pair of topaz-like eyes showed obvious dissatisfaction.
Ah Miao, who has been familiar with human books, has almost become a person in tiger skin, and understands the difference between men and women.
No matter what she said, she was almost a 30-year-old tigress. It was fine to be groped by sister Yulan on weekdays, but why was she still groped by a big man?
She suddenly thought of the girl from a good family who was bullied by bullies in the book.
In her eyes, Yu Xian is even more of a bully than a bully.
But Yu Xian wouldn't care about a pet's emotions, as long as he was happy with it.
For a long time.
Seeing that Yu Xian hadn't stopped aggressing her, Ah Miao couldn't help but gritted her teeth.
Yu Xian felt a slight tingle in his finger, and saw Ah Miao bit his finger, showing a fierce expression.
"Yo, little guy, you're still angry."
Yu Xian stirred Ah Miao's mouth with his fingers, his tongue was full of barbs and not smooth.
"Woo!!!"
Ah Meow was humiliated, her limbs were spread out, revealing her soft belly, and she was resigned to her fate, as if to say, touch it.
Anyway, it was quite comfortable to touch.
Yu Xian saw that Ah Miao was so cooperative, but he lost interest after masturbating for a while.
"I'm so dizzy, such a good time, what am I messing with a kitten?"
Yu Xian leaves Ah Miao and walks out of the house.
Ah Miao was lying on the chair, her eyes blank, staring blankly at Yu Xian's back going away.
……
The alchemy Wu family, once one of the eight great families in Shangyang City, is now the director of the alchemy department of the city lord's mansion.
The alchemy department is responsible for the assessment of alchemists, and at the same time as a platform entrusted by alchemy, it purchases medicinal materials, recovers elixir, distributes the benefits of alchemy to public officials in the city, and so on.
All matters related to pills and medicines are under the jurisdiction of the alchemy department.
So it's not that the alchemists on Shangyang Mountain are left alone, on the contrary, they are under the jurisdiction of the entire department of the City Lord's Mansion.
It's just that Chen Xiao, the city lord, was too incompetent. He was fooled by the subordinates, and he couldn't find his sister to discuss it, so he obediently became a mud-bodied bodhisattva.
this day.
A group of black-clothed monks brutally broke into the Wu family's mansion in the inner city.
In terms of the living area in the inner city, the Wu family is far inferior to the former Zhao family.
After all, the Zhao family's land was rewarded by Daoist Danyang, and it can be hundreds of acres at a glance.
But the Wu family bought the land by themselves, and each mu of land represents a huge fortune.
Therefore, the eight great families of the Wu family are very famous, and the whole mansion is just a big house with seven entrances and seven exits, with about [-] people living there.
However, since the city lord wisely abolished the aura tax, the population of the Wu residence has skyrocketed, reaching around a thousand.
When the gate of the Wu Mansion was kicked open, it was like a thunderclap, making this densely populated house lively.
"presumptuous!"
The concierge of the Wu Mansion was a gray-haired old man in his 60s. Seeing someone kicking the gate of the Wu Mansion so arrogantly, he immediately slapped his chair.
A jet of black streamer flew out from behind him, attacking the person who came.
This person is actually a monk in the late stage of Qi training, who can control weapons.
But the person who kicked the door just patted his uniform on the chest and shouted angrily.
"The tax department handles the case, and the idlers wait to avoid it!"
The black light suddenly stopped, and then gradually dissipated the light, revealing its true face, it was actually a thick black iron mace.
"Tax Department?!"
The old man at the porter was puzzled.
"What are you doing here at my Wu's house?"
The tax department has recently become notorious in the city, and has already brought down several foundation-building forces in the name of tax inspections. It was even forced to move out of Shangyang City because of the tax payment and the ruin of their families.
There were even two Foundation Establishment cultivators who were regarded as early birds because of their resistance, and died on the spot.
A cultivator with a big mole next to his chin stepped out, touched the black hair on his big mole, and smiled at the old man in the gatehouse:
"We received a report that the Wu family was suspected of tax evasion. According to the new tax code, we have the right to seal up the Wu mansion. Now we have to go into the mansion to search for evidence, so please let the old man out of the way."
The old man at the porter turned dark and shouted:
"Our ancestor is the head of the alchemy department, he can directly meet the city lord, and he also has the privilege of tax exemption. What qualifications does your tax department have to investigate our Wu family?
You think that our Wu family is one of those small families who are bullied by the gangsters, so you leave quickly, otherwise leave the Wu family alone and ignore the tax department's face, and leave you all behind! "
"The tax-free privilege belongs to Director Wu, not to the Wu family. Besides, can you guarantee that all of Wu's mansions are from the Wu family?"
The black-haired monk shrugged and said:
"Do you want to be the master of the Wu family as a concierge? Go and inform the person in charge of your family. We will wait for you for half an hour.
Half an hour later, the tax department went to the mansion to arrest people. "
He doesn't care about the Wu family and the Wang family, he will be a dog to whoever builds the foundation pill for him.
No one knew how excited his dear Chief Secretary was when he placed the three Foundation Establishment Pills under the plaque of the Taxation Department that day.
I thought that there would be no chance to build a foundation in this life.
But hope always meets unexpectedly.
Although he has to work as a temporary worker for another five years, although there is only one regular job every year, although they have 48 temporary workers...
But hope is there, and every step forward brings more chances of success.
Maybe he worked hard, was appreciated by the general manager, and became a regular in advance.
Seeing the arrogance of the black-haired friar, the old man at the porter snorted coldly, but stopped talking, and turned to report.
When he arrived at the main hall, he saw his Patriarch talking with a young man and a woman wearing a veil.
"Patriarch, there are..."
The old man at the porter walked up to the Patriarch of the Wu family and was about to speak when he was interrupted by a wave.
"The owner of the tax department already knows about it, and the ancestors will deal with it soon. First, please invite colleagues from the tax department to the mansion for tea."
The head of the Wu family ordered.
The old porter was puzzled, but he suppressed his curiosity, bowed his head and answered yes.
When the old man at the porter left, the Patriarch of the Wu family smiled and said:
"Boss Yu, if you have anything to do, you can just send someone to inform you. Why bother you to come to the door in person? Please wait a moment, the ancestor will be here soon."
"Yu was entrusted by others, and it's a matter of loyalty. I don't feel at ease if I don't come to see it in person."
When Yu Xian was talking, he looked at the woman beside him and cast a reassuring look.
By his side is naturally Luo Han.
This time, he invited Luo Han to rescue his alchemy comrades who were deeply trapped in the tiger's mouth, and at the same time demonstrate his usual dangerous times.
And Luo Han had long wanted to go down the mountain.
Although she lives in a house, it doesn't mean that she can stay in her house for the rest of her life.
She would occasionally go down the mountain to go shopping, buy things, look at the scenery in the city, and adjust her body and mind.
But since Daoist Danyang left, she hasn't been out for a long time.
As soon as Yu Xian invited her this time, she hesitated and agreed.
Anyway, if Yu Xian wants to attack her, there is no need to trick her into going down the mountain.
Seeing that Yu Xian really brought her to the Wu family to save people, she was excited and nervous, and even a little bit excited, which was an experience she had never experienced before.
This Wu family had invited her to join many times, but she refused them all.
Because she knew that once she joined the Wu family, she might lose her only freedom.
Before her death, her master warned her not to join the Xiuxian family unless it was absolutely necessary, otherwise she would be reduced to a tool and be dominated by others for the rest of her life.
In the eyes of family monks, blood is the most important.
If you want to truly integrate into a family, you can only do it through intermarriage and three generations of hard work.
Luo Han kept his master's teaching in mind, kept his family's invitations at arm's length, and practiced alchemy silently.
This time, she will take the initiative to step into Wu's house, how can she not make her nervous.
I heard that Patriarch Wu is powerful and his cultivation has reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment. If he wants to force it, he and Daoist Yu will be trapped here.
But Fellow Daoist Yu was also entrusted by himself to intervene in this matter. At worst, he would agree to the Wu family to make alchemy for the Wu family and let Fellow Daoist Yu leave.
Looking at Yu Xian's profile turned away, Luo Han silently made up his mind.
Just looking at it, she remembered the absurd dream she had when she was drunk that day, and her cheeks under the veil couldn't help but blush slightly.
Waited a while.
An old man in a green robe and holding a mahogany staff entered the room angrily, with a burnt smell on his body.
Luo Han's nose moved slightly, and he sent a voice transmission to Yu Xian:
"This is Patriarch Wu. He should be a fryer. He seems to be in a bad mood."
Ancestor Wu's real name is Wu Fan, and he is another alchemist in Shangyang City who can stably refine Zhuji Pill besides Luo Han.
Alchemy skills are said to have reached the second-level high-grade, only one step away from the third-level.
In addition, the Wu family is originally a family of alchemy, and there is no shortage of panacea on weekdays, so Wu Patriarch's cultivation base is considered very good among the family, reaching the stage of the late foundation establishment.
As soon as he entered the house, Patriarch Wu took a peach stick and slammed it on the ground, and sneered at the Patriarch of the Wu family:
"The old man said that no one is allowed to disturb you during alchemy, Jia Liang, what happened to make you ignore the usual rules?
Do you know that this old man's furnace of five Kuidan pills is rare in materials, one failure is years of painstaking efforts in vain! "
Wu Jialiang hurriedly confessed: "Old Patriarch calm down, Patriarch calm down, I can't do anything about it, Manager Yu is here, I must see you."
At this time, Patriarch Wu's eyes finally turned to Yu Xian and Luo Han.
"Director Yu, who else is there?"
His tone was a bit puzzled, he didn't seem to recognize Luo Han, but he quickly shook his sleeves and said angrily:
"I don't know what to do, or do you want to come to the Wu family to find trouble?!"
His gaze was gloomy and cold, and his aura poured down like mountains and seas, and the air in the entire hall seemed to be stagnant.
Of course Yu Xian didn't care.
His contest with Chen Yi was not in vain, even if he faced an ordinary Jindan real person, with his current strength, he would not be intimidated by mere aura.
But at this moment, he is still playing the role of a monk in the early stage of foundation establishment.
According to the normal conversion of strength, the mana of a monk in the late stage of foundation establishment is six or seven times that of the early stage of foundation establishment, and the strength of spiritual consciousness is three to four times.
Strength can be described as crushing.
So his complexion gradually became difficult to look at.
And Luo Han next to him has never even experienced a serious battle, so this will be even more uncomfortable.
Luo Han only felt that Patriarch Wu in front of her was like an active volcano that was about to erupt, causing her spiritual sense to continuously raise the alarm, and the invisible pressure hit her heart like a waterfall.
She felt a little out of breath.
'This is the strength of the late stage of foundation establishment. It's so powerful. No wonder the master told me not to expose my alchemy talent if I'm not fully sure. '
'How is fellow Daoist Yu? '
As soon as Luo Han thought about it, he felt a hand resting on hers.
A warm breath was sent to her body through the palm, making her feel at ease and warm unconsciously.
She looked up in surprise, and saw Yu Xian, who was sweating on his forehead, forced a smile at her, and then calmly said:
"Director Wu, do you want to take the next step and take action against the manager?"
Patriarch Wu's aura paused, and then slowly dissipated. He walked to the main seat in the hall and sat down, assuming the posture of a master.
"My subordinates dare not."
Old Ancestor Wu said jokingly: "This subordinate was just joking with the manager. I didn't expect the manager to be so weak that he couldn't even bear the aura of his subordinates."
Yu Xian snorted coldly: "The manager has heard a saying, don't bully young people into poverty.
The general manager is only fifty-one this year, and he broke through the foundation establishment stage more than ten years ago, and he is sure to break through the foundation establishment stage before the age of 80.
I don't know what age Director Wu was when he broke through the late stage of Foundation Establishment? "
Patriarch Wu's complexion darkened, and he changed the subject bluntly:
"Director Yu, let's get down to business."
Seeing Patriarch Wu deflated, Luo Han also became happy for some reason, and looked at Yu Xian again.
'He looked so calm, I'm afraid I wouldn't know what to say right now.And he is only 51 years old, doesn't it mean that he is only two years older than me. '
Yu Xian said: "Director Wu, I heard that two second-tier alchemists, Tong Ming and Dong Yueyue, joined the Wu family.
The manager suspects that these two alchemists deliberately joined your Wu family in order to evade taxes, please let them come out to confront the manager, and make up the formalities by the way. "
According to the new tax code, when an alchemist borrows the underground spiritual veins for alchemy, the consumption is much greater than that of daily practice, so he needs to pay the alchemy tax.
But I think that a public official like Wu Patriarch with a certain level has the privilege of tax exemption, and he can also protect his family.
This is also a loophole that Yu Xian deliberately left for them.
Otherwise, he would really push him to a dead end, and Shangyang City would either become a ghost town or an empty city, and no one would come to work for him to earn money.
Patriarch Wu hesitated for a while and said:
"The two alchemists have indeed joined the Wu family, so there is no need to confront each other. The old man was negligent in the formalities. I will ask someone to go to the tax department to make up for it."
"Director Wu, do you want to help people evade taxes?!"
Yu Xian slapped the table and said aggressively:
"You have to pay someone today, or do you think my tax department's sword is not good?"
Patriarch Wu's complexion also changed, and he said sadly:
"Boss Yu, my Wu family is not at a disadvantage."
The momentum of the two parties is once again on the verge of breaking out.
Luo Han was so nervous that his palms were sweating, and at the same time, he found that Yu Xian's hand holding her was a little cold, obviously he was not as sure as he seemed.
But in this way, Luo Han felt that leisure sitting beside him was more real.
He was also nervous and afraid, and he was not fully sure.
But he still came...
Is it for yourself?
Luo Han began to think wildly.
Here, Patriarch Wu finally backed down under Yu Xian's firm gaze, and said:
"Okay, the old man called someone over."
After finishing speaking, he ordered people to invite the two alchemists.
There was a sudden silence in the field, and no one spoke.
After about a quarter of an hour.
Two alchemists were brought over, a man and a woman, the man was of medium build and looked elegant, the woman was wearing a red skirt, with undulating mountains on her chest, revealing a large area of white snow and a red face.
"Danshi Tong, Danshi Dong, this is Chief Yu of the Tax Department..."
Patriarch Wu introduced Yu Xian's identity to the two of them, and explained the purpose of coming.
Hearing this, the two said in unison:
"Thank you, Director Yu, for your concern. We joined the Wu family voluntarily. We neglected to complete the formalities. We will go to the tax department to make up for it tomorrow and pay the fine."
Yu Xian said: "The two of you are really voluntary? With Ben Boss here, you can speak out what you have to say without any hesitation."
The female alchemist Dong Yueyue covered her mouth and smiled: "My lord, can't you see that the slave family is very happy now?
The slave family lives a fulfilling life here every day. "
"The same is true for Tong."
Male alchemist Tong Ming continued.
Yu Xian was silent for a while, then led Luo Han to stand up, and before leaving, he did not forget to warn:
"Director Wu, in your capacity, protecting two second-tier alchemists is already the limit. If you add more people, you will be suspected of tax evasion. This manager will come again."
Patriarch Wu nodded lightly: "Don't bother Mr. Manager."
"Farewell."
Yu Xian walked out in a daze.
Seeing this appearance, Luo Han didn't want to pull out his hands, and followed behind him step by step, but before leaving, he took another look at the two alchemists.
……
Out of the Wu mansion.
"Feel sorry."
Yu Xian seemed to finally realize that he was still holding Luo Han's hand, let go of it quickly, and said with a wry smile:
"If they don't cooperate, I can't take them away."
Luo Han felt his wrist loosen, but felt lost.
She suddenly found that staying by Yu Xian's side gave her a sense of security, just like when she was by Daoyou Zhao's side back then, she didn't have to worry about those messy eyes from outside.
She sorted out her thoughts and said as usual:
"Danshi Tong and Danshi Dong seem to be in good condition, the Wu family should treat them well.
Their cultivation has not broken through the foundation establishment realm, and they are also old. Marrying a wife and having children in the Wu family is a choice. "
Yu Xian said: "I just feel that I let you go for nothing."
Luo Han said with a smile: "How could it be considered a waste of time? Today I saw the majesty of the Chief Manager. Even people like Wu Patriarch bowed their heads in front of you."
Yu Xian shook his head and laughed: "I was too nervous just now, luckily I didn't show any ugly face in front of you."
Luo Han thought of Yu Xian's cold hand, and didn't have the nerve to touch him.
"Fellow Daoist Yu, I'm a little tired, so I'll go back first."
"I'll see you off." Yu Xian blurted out.
Thinking of the feeling just now, Luo Han felt a little flustered, and quickly refused: "No, I'm not a child anymore."
She and Yu Xian have only been together for less than three months, and she is not disgusted with him holding her hand, which makes her quite scared.
Yu Xian did not insist, but said:
"There is still some chaos in the city. If you don't want me to send you off, then I will send two tax collectors from the tax department to accompany you, so that others will not dare to think of you."
Luo Han paused, then nodded.
"it is good."
Soon, two tax collectors who had completed their Qi training escorted Luo Han away.
Yu Xian turned around and stepped into the Wu Mansion again.
……
The backyard of the Wu Mansion, where the ancestors usually lived.
"Fellow Daoist Wu, I didn't expect that you are not only good at alchemy, but also good at acting. Yu admires you."
Yu Xian sat in front of Patriarch Wu and drank tea with him.
As a partner who intends to jointly monopolize the Jidan market, Yu Xian had just proposed the plan, and Patriarch Wu hit it off with him immediately.
In the face of interests, there is no need to establish any friendship at all.
Patriarch Wu laughed and poured tea for Yu Xian.
"Boss Yu has broken the old man, but it's just that he has lived longer and gained more life experience."
"However, Director Yu went to great lengths to perform such a play in front of that beautiful lady, the old man is a little puzzled?"
"Don't understand?"
Yu Xian patted the mahogany stick beside Patriarch Wu, and said with a smile:
"You say that you are an old man, so how can you understand the minds of our young people?"
"I hope we can cooperate happily in the future."
He raised his teacup.
Patriarch Wu also raised his teacup in respect and said, "This old man will not disappoint the Chief Manager."
I drank it in one gulp, bid farewell and left.
"Tea is good tea, but it's not suitable for me. I'd better leave it to fellow Daoist Wu to appreciate it."
Patriarch Wu drank the tea in his cup in one gulp.
"Young people's thoughts? Hehe, the old man is not convinced."
"Come here, bring the 42nd concubine of the ancestor Xinna."
Merge a chapter, increase and decrease the uniform data.
(End of this chapter)
"Since ancient times, autumn has been sad and lonely. I say that autumn is better than spring."
Yu Xian nestled in the empty mansion, stroking the little white tiger that had just taken on the shape of a tiger, and seeing the dead leaves falling with the wind, he felt quite comfortable.
It can even be said to be extremely relaxing.
Because Chen Yi took Magnolia up the mountain, it meant that no one was watching him.
Don't look at him speaking forcefully in front of Chen Yi, he looks like he can find as many women as he wants.
But after all, he didn't dare to challenge Chen Yi's patience at this moment, and messed around in front of her.
In case she is stimulated one day, has a wrong tendon, and suddenly wants to switch to the ruthless way, then he will be her first sacrifice.

Yu Xian leaves Ah Miao and walks out of the house.
Ah Miao was lying on the chair, her eyes blank, staring blankly at Yu Xian's back going away.

Although he has to work as a temporary worker for another five years, although there is only one regular job every year, although they have 48 temporary workers...
But hope is there, and every step forward brings more chances of success.
Maybe he worked hard, was appreciated by the general manager, and became a regular in advance.
Seeing the arrogance of the black-haired friar, the old man at the porter snorted coldly, but stopped talking, and turned to report.
When he arrived at the main hall, he saw his Patriarch talking with a young man and a woman wearing a veil.
"Patriarch, there are..."
The old man at the porter walked up to the Patriarch of the Wu family and was about to speak when he was interrupted by a wave.
"The owner of the tax department already knows about it, and the ancestors will deal with it soon. First, please invite colleagues from the tax department to the mansion for tea."
The head of the Wu family ordered.
The old porter was puzzled, but he suppressed his curiosity, bowed his head and answered yes.
When the old man at the porter left, the Patriarch of the Wu family smiled and said:
"Boss Yu, if you have anything to do, you can just send someone to inform you. Why bother you to come to the door in person? Please wait a moment, the ancestor will be here soon."
"Yu was entrusted by others, and it's a matter of loyalty. I don't feel at ease if I don't come to see it in person."
When Yu Xian was talking, he looked at the woman beside him and cast a reassuring look.
By his side is naturally Luo Han.
This time, he invited Luo Han to rescue his alchemy comrades who were deeply trapped in the tiger's mouth, and at the same time demonstrate his usual dangerous times.
And Luo Han had long wanted to go down the mountain.
Although she lives in a house, it doesn't mean that she can stay in her house for the rest of her life.
She would occasionally go down the mountain to go shopping, buy things, look at the scenery in the city, and adjust her body and mind.
But since Daoist Danyang left, she hasn't been out for a long time.
As soon as Yu Xian invited her this time, she hesitated and agreed.
Anyway, if Yu Xian wants to attack her, there is no need to trick her into going down the mountain.
Seeing that Yu Xian really brought her to the Wu family to save people, she was excited and nervous, and even a little bit excited, which was an experience she had never experienced before.
This Wu family had invited her to join many times, but she refused them all.
Because she knew that once she joined the Wu family, she might lose her only freedom.
Before her death, her master warned her not to join the Xiuxian family unless it was absolutely necessary, otherwise she would be reduced to a tool and be dominated by others for the rest of her life.
In the eyes of family monks, blood is the most important.
If you want to truly integrate into a family, you can only do it through intermarriage and three generations of hard work.
Luo Han kept his master's teaching in mind, kept his family's invitations at arm's length, and practiced alchemy silently.
This time, she will take the initiative to step into Wu's house, how can she not make her nervous.
I heard that Patriarch Wu is powerful and his cultivation has reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment. If he wants to force it, he and Daoist Yu will be trapped here.
But Fellow Daoist Yu was also entrusted by himself to intervene in this matter. At worst, he would agree to the Wu family to make alchemy for the Wu family and let Fellow Daoist Yu leave.
Looking at Yu Xian's profile turned away, Luo Han silently made up his mind.
Just looking at it, she remembered the absurd dream she had when she was drunk that day, and her cheeks under the veil couldn't help but blush slightly.
Waited a while.
An old man in a green robe and holding a mahogany staff entered the room angrily, with a burnt smell on his body.
Luo Han's nose moved slightly, and he sent a voice transmission to Yu Xian:
"This is Patriarch Wu. He should be a fryer. He seems to be in a bad mood."
Ancestor Wu's real name is Wu Fan, and he is another alchemist in Shangyang City who can stably refine Zhuji Pill besides Luo Han.
Alchemy skills are said to have reached the second-level high-grade, only one step away from the third-level.
In addition, the Wu family is originally a family of alchemy, and there is no shortage of panacea on weekdays, so Wu Patriarch's cultivation base is considered very good among the family, reaching the stage of the late foundation establishment.
As soon as he entered the house, Patriarch Wu took a peach stick and slammed it on the ground, and sneered at the Patriarch of the Wu family:
"The old man said that no one is allowed to disturb you during alchemy, Jia Liang, what happened to make you ignore the usual rules?
Do you know that this old man's furnace of five Kuidan pills is rare in materials, one failure is years of painstaking efforts in vain! "
Wu Jialiang hurriedly confessed: "Old Patriarch calm down, Patriarch calm down, I can't do anything about it, Manager Yu is here, I must see you."
At this time, Patriarch Wu's eyes finally turned to Yu Xian and Luo Han.
"Director Yu, who else is there?"
His tone was a bit puzzled, he didn't seem to recognize Luo Han, but he quickly shook his sleeves and said angrily:
"I don't know what to do, or do you want to come to the Wu family to find trouble?!"
His gaze was gloomy and cold, and his aura poured down like mountains and seas, and the air in the entire hall seemed to be stagnant.
Of course Yu Xian didn't care.
His contest with Chen Yi was not in vain, even if he faced an ordinary Jindan real person, with his current strength, he would not be intimidated by mere aura.
But at this moment, he is still playing the role of a monk in the early stage of foundation establishment.
According to the normal conversion of strength, the mana of a monk in the late stage of foundation establishment is six or seven times that of the early stage of foundation establishment, and the strength of spiritual consciousness is three to four times.
Strength can be described as crushing.
So his complexion gradually became difficult to look at.
And Luo Han next to him has never even experienced a serious battle, so this will be even more uncomfortable.
Luo Han only felt that Patriarch Wu in front of her was like an active volcano that was about to erupt, causing her spiritual sense to continuously raise the alarm, and the invisible pressure hit her heart like a waterfall.
She felt a little out of breath.
'This is the strength of the late stage of foundation establishment. It's so powerful. No wonder the master told me not to expose my alchemy talent if I'm not fully sure. '
'How is fellow Daoist Yu? '
As soon as Luo Han thought about it, he felt a hand resting on hers.
A warm breath was sent to her body through the palm, making her feel at ease and warm unconsciously.
She looked up in surprise, and saw Yu Xian, who was sweating on his forehead, forced a smile at her, and then calmly said:
"Director Wu, do you want to take the next step and take action against the manager?"
Patriarch Wu's aura paused, and then slowly dissipated. He walked to the main seat in the hall and sat down, assuming the posture of a master.
"My subordinates dare not."
Old Ancestor Wu said jokingly: "This subordinate was just joking with the manager. I didn't expect the manager to be so weak that he couldn't even bear the aura of his subordinates."
Yu Xian snorted coldly: "The manager has heard a saying, don't bully young people into poverty.
The general manager is only fifty-one this year, and he broke through the foundation establishment stage more than ten years ago, and he is sure to break through the foundation establishment stage before the age of 80.
I don't know what age Director Wu was when he broke through the late stage of Foundation Establishment? "
Patriarch Wu's complexion darkened, and he changed the subject bluntly:
"Director Yu, let's get down to business."
Seeing Patriarch Wu deflated, Luo Han also became happy for some reason, and looked at Yu Xian again.
'He looked so calm, I'm afraid I wouldn't know what to say right now.And he is only 51 years old, doesn't it mean that he is only two years older than me. '
Yu Xian said: "Director Wu, I heard that two second-tier alchemists, Tong Ming and Dong Yueyue, joined the Wu family.
The manager suspects that these two alchemists deliberately joined your Wu family in order to evade taxes, please let them come out to confront the manager, and make up the formalities by the way. "
According to the new tax code, when an alchemist borrows the underground spiritual veins for alchemy, the consumption is much greater than that of daily practice, so he needs to pay the alchemy tax.
But I think that a public official like Wu Patriarch with a certain level has the privilege of tax exemption, and he can also protect his family.
This is also a loophole that Yu Xian deliberately left for them.
Otherwise, he would really push him to a dead end, and Shangyang City would either become a ghost town or an empty city, and no one would come to work for him to earn money.
Patriarch Wu hesitated for a while and said:
"The two alchemists have indeed joined the Wu family, so there is no need to confront each other. The old man was negligent in the formalities. I will ask someone to go to the tax department to make up for it."
"Director Wu, do you want to help people evade taxes?!"
Yu Xian slapped the table and said aggressively:
"You have to pay someone today, or do you think my tax department's sword is not good?"
Patriarch Wu's complexion also changed, and he said sadly:
"Boss Yu, my Wu family is not at a disadvantage."
The momentum of the two parties is once again on the verge of breaking out.
Luo Han was so nervous that his palms were sweating, and at the same time, he found that Yu Xian's hand holding her was a little cold, obviously he was not as sure as he seemed.
But in this way, Luo Han felt that leisure sitting beside him was more real.
He was also nervous and afraid, and he was not fully sure.
But he still came...
Is it for yourself?
Luo Han began to think wildly.
Here, Patriarch Wu finally backed down under Yu Xian's firm gaze, and said:
"Okay, the old man called someone over."
After finishing speaking, he ordered people to invite the two alchemists.
There was a sudden silence in the field, and no one spoke.
After about a quarter of an hour.
Two alchemists were brought over, a man and a woman, the man was of medium build and looked elegant, the woman was wearing a red skirt, with undulating mountains on her chest, revealing a large area of white snow and a red face.
"Danshi Tong, Danshi Dong, this is Chief Yu of the Tax Department..."
Patriarch Wu introduced Yu Xian's identity to the two of them, and explained the purpose of coming.
Hearing this, the two said in unison:
"Thank you, Director Yu, for your concern. We joined the Wu family voluntarily. We neglected to complete the formalities. We will go to the tax department to make up for it tomorrow and pay the fine."
Yu Xian said: "The two of you are really voluntary? With Ben Boss here, you can speak out what you have to say without any hesitation."
The female alchemist Dong Yueyue covered her mouth and smiled: "My lord, can't you see that the slave family is very happy now?
The slave family lives a fulfilling life here every day. "
"The same is true for Tong."
Male alchemist Tong Ming continued.
Yu Xian was silent for a while, then led Luo Han to stand up, and before leaving, he did not forget to warn:
"Director Wu, in your capacity, protecting two second-tier alchemists is already the limit. If you add more people, you will be suspected of tax evasion. This manager will come again."
Patriarch Wu nodded lightly: "Don't bother Mr. Manager."
"Farewell."
Yu Xian walked out in a daze.
Seeing this appearance, Luo Han didn't want to pull out his hands, and followed behind him step by step, but before leaving, he took another look at the two alchemists.
……
Out of the Wu mansion.
"Feel sorry."
Yu Xian seemed to finally realize that he was still holding Luo Han's hand, let go of it quickly, and said with a wry smile:
"If they don't cooperate, I can't take them away."
Luo Han felt his wrist loosen, but felt lost.
She suddenly found that staying by Yu Xian's side gave her a sense of security, just like when she was by Daoyou Zhao's side back then, she didn't have to worry about those messy eyes from outside.
She sorted out her thoughts and said as usual:
"Danshi Tong and Danshi Dong seem to be in good condition, the Wu family should treat them well.
Their cultivation has not broken through the foundation establishment realm, and they are also old. Marrying a wife and having children in the Wu family is a choice. "
Yu Xian said: "I just feel that I let you go for nothing."
Luo Han said with a smile: "How could it be considered a waste of time? Today I saw the majesty of the Chief Manager. Even people like Wu Patriarch bowed their heads in front of you."
Yu Xian shook his head and laughed: "I was too nervous just now, luckily I didn't show any ugly face in front of you."
Luo Han thought of Yu Xian's cold hand, and didn't have the nerve to touch him.
"Fellow Daoist Yu, I'm a little tired, so I'll go back first."
"I'll see you off." Yu Xian blurted out.
Thinking of the feeling just now, Luo Han felt a little flustered, and quickly refused: "No, I'm not a child anymore."
She and Yu Xian have only been together for less than three months, and she is not disgusted with him holding her hand, which makes her quite scared.
Yu Xian did not insist, but said:
"There is still some chaos in the city. If you don't want me to send you off, then I will send two tax collectors from the tax department to accompany you, so that others will not dare to think of you."
Luo Han paused, then nodded.
"it is good."
Soon, two tax collectors who had completed their Qi training escorted Luo Han away.
Yu Xian turned around and stepped into the Wu Mansion again.
……
The backyard of the Wu Mansion, where the ancestors usually lived.
"Fellow Daoist Wu, I didn't expect that you are not only good at alchemy, but also good at acting. Yu admires you."
Yu Xian sat in front of Patriarch Wu and drank tea with him.
As a partner who intends to jointly monopolize the Jidan market, Yu Xian had just proposed the plan, and Patriarch Wu hit it off with him immediately.
In the face of interests, there is no need to establish any friendship at all.
Patriarch Wu laughed and poured tea for Yu Xian.
"Boss Yu has broken the old man, but it's just that he has lived longer and gained more life experience."
"However, Director Yu went to great lengths to perform such a play in front of that beautiful lady, the old man is a little puzzled?"
"Don't understand?"
Yu Xian patted the mahogany stick beside Patriarch Wu, and said with a smile:
"You say that you are an old man, so how can you understand the minds of our young people?"
"I hope we can cooperate happily in the future."
He raised his teacup.
Patriarch Wu also raised his teacup in respect and said, "This old man will not disappoint the Chief Manager."
I drank it in one gulp, bid farewell and left.
"Tea is good tea, but it's not suitable for me. I'd better leave it to fellow Daoist Wu to appreciate it."
Patriarch Wu drank the tea in his cup in one gulp.
"Young people's thoughts? Hehe, the old man is not convinced."
"Come here, bring the 42nd concubine of the ancestor Xinna."
