Chapter 764
It is needless to say that he practiced all night.
When it was almost dawn, Luo Qingzhou left the Dragon Palace and returned to the house, his mind and soul returned to the body.
On the hillside behind the house.
The second brother Qin was still practicing diligently.
Now that his elder brother was gone, he might feel that the entire Qin family would depend on him in the future.
Luo Qingzhou held the girl in his arms and thought about tomorrow's affairs.
The more he thought about it, the more troubled he became.
Before he married the eldest princess, he was the son-in-law, which was acceptable.
What is he now?
The "empress", "concubine", or the queen's little white face?
It is estimated that those ministers will not be able to call him by any name in the future.
Fortunately, he married the leader of Lingxiao Sect as the proud disciple of the leader, and it was a marriage alliance, so he was not afraid of those royal family members and ministers looking down on him.
Just as he was thinking about it, the communication treasure on his body suddenly vibrated.
At this time, you should know who sent it without looking at it, right?
He took out the communication treasure.
It was indeed from Uncle Master: [Come early, I will take you to learn alchemy]
Luo Qingzhou replied: [Uncle Master, didn’t you tell Master and Uncle Master that I have learned alchemy from others? ]
Zhu Zhu: [No. Uncle Master Wu is a famous alchemist in the whole of Da Yan. If you really want to learn alchemy, it is best to learn from him, because alchemy requires a lot of details, and others may not teach you]
Luo Qingzhou: [Uncle Master, she is not someone else]
Zhu Zhu: [Who is she? Your wife? Or your confidante? ]
Luo Qingzhou did not answer.
The message came again: [I have said before that learning alchemy is very important and is related to your future practice. For this kind of thing, it is best to find someone who can let you concentrate to teach. You learn from her, your mind is distracted, can you learn well? ]
Luo Qingzhou: [I am not distracted]
Zhuzhu: [Come early, Uncle Wu has a bad temper, Uncle Master went to talk to him personally before he agreed to teach you, you have to give him a good impression]
Luo Qingzhou: [Okay]
Meanwhile.
In another small courtyard, in a boudoir.
On a small bed covered by a curtain, a girl in a snow-white dress was sitting in a corner with her knees hugged, holding a piece of jade in her hand, watching quietly.
Her long eyelashes were gently blinking, and her black hair like a waterfall fell from her shoulders. Under the hem of her skirt, a pair of snow-white, slender, smooth, jade-like calves and a pair of white, tender and attractive slender jade feet were revealed.
The chat continued.
Zhuzhu: [Remember to tell your family that you will not go back at night]
Luo Qingzhou: [Got it]
Zhuzhu: [Tomorrow we will get married, will your family go? ]
Luo Qingzhou: [No]
Zhu Zhu: [Without family, those people in the court will say that you don't respect the princess and this marriage]
Luo Qingzhou: [Uncle Master, please stop talking. I don't want to have that kind of picture in my mind]
Zhu Zhu: [What kind of picture?]
Luo Qingzhou: [No more chatting. I have to get up]
Zhu Zhu: [Oh]
Luo Qingzhou didn't reply.
Looking out the window, the night had all faded.
He hesitated for a moment, but still sent a message to someone: [Sister Yue, are you asleep?]
No one replied.
He said again: [I have to go to the sect to practice tonight, so I may not be able to go to the Dragon Palace to learn refining from you]
A certain boudoir, covered by curtains.
The beautiful girl in a snow-white dress on the bed looked down at the jade in her hand for a long time, then stretched out her slender jade finger and replied: [Whatever]
After a pause, she wrote on the jade again: [Then don't come to me in the future]
After writing, her jade finger stayed there for a long time, and then deleted everything.
Luo Qingzhou: [Sister Yue, let me ask you a question. If I don't go out to see you for many days, or don't send you messages for many days, will you be angry? ]
The girl was quiet for a while and replied: [No]
Luo Qingzhou: [Okay, I know]
The girl put her white jade finger on the jade and paused for a long time, as if she wanted to write something, but in the end she didn't write anything.
She drooped her eyelashes slightly and was silent for a long time. When she was about to put away the jade in her hand, the message was suddenly sent again.
Luo Qingzhou: [I will]
The girl stared at these two words for a long time, and Yue's chest suddenly hurt, and a chill surged up.
She closed her eyes and was silent for a long time before slowly opening them and replying: [Practice well]
She looked at her fingertips, on which a layer of frost condensed.
Luo Qingzhou put away the communication treasure, and held the girl in his arms and lay for a while, ready to get up, but suddenly a soft voice came from his arms: "Brother Qingzhou, do you like that sister Yue very much?"
Luo Qingzhou looked down at her, not knowing how to answer.
The girl hugged him tightly and said softly: "In fact, since Wei Mo knew Brother Qingzhou, Brother Qingzhou has always met all kinds of women, and has always been forced to be with them for various reasons, including Wei Mo himself. But Wei Mo knows in his heart that there is no one that Brother Qingzhou really likes, except that sister Yue..."
Luo Qingzhou said: "Wei Mo, I and her..."
"Brother Qingzhou."
The girl in his arms raised her beautiful face, looked at him softly and said: "You can deceive yourself, but you can't deceive Wei Mo."
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and kissed her, stroking her hair and said, "It's still early, go back to sleep. I'm going out to practice, and I probably won't be back tonight. Tomorrow..."
"Brother Qingzhou, that sister Yue..."
"By the way, Wei Mo, were you okay last night? Do you need to take medicine today?"
"I……"
The girl in her arms suddenly remembered what happened last night, and her cheeks suddenly turned red.
Luo Qingzhou successfully changed the subject and whispered: "If I like it, my wife, I will often..."
"don't want……"
The girl's face turned redder, she bit her pink lips and said shyly: "Brother Qingzhou, no more... dirty..."
Luo Qingzhou immediately said seriously: "My husband practices a lot, and his whole body is full of stench and even more dirt. My wife does not dislike my husband."
"Ugh... stop talking..."
The girl suddenly blushed with embarrassment and got directly into the quilt.
Luo Qingzhou held her and kissed her for a while, then got up, dressed and left the room.
Qiu'er didn't know when, but she had been waiting outside. When she saw him coming out, she knelt down gently and helped him put on his shoes, and asked in a low voice: "Uncle, last night..."
Luo Qingzhou shook his head and said, "Do you still have the medicine? I'll make some for the second lady to drink today."
Qiu'er nodded and said, "There are more."
After saying that, she sighed softly and whispered: "Miss, I have always wanted to... be a real couple with my uncle, but it's a pity..."
Luo Qingzhou comforted her softly: "It's okay, don't worry, the second lady's illness will definitely be cured."
After briefly washing up, he went out through the back door.
The morning sun quietly peeked out half of the face behind the green mountains, and the misty river surface in the early morning was sprinkled with a layer of orange-red brilliance, making the waves sparkle.
On the hillside of the back mountain, Brother Qin had already gone home to rest.
When Luo Qingzhou arrived at the foot of Lingxiao Sect Mountain, Linghu Qingzhu was already waiting there.
The snow has not yet melted.
The mountains and forests are still covered with snow.
Linghu Qingzhu, dressed in Tsing Yi, stood tall and graceful on a rock by the roadside, looking down at him.
Luo Qingzhou looked up and said, "Uncle, your skirt is floating up."
Linghu Qingzhu glared at him, walked down the rock, and reminded lightly: "I'm going to see Master Wu later, and remember to be respectful. He has a bad temper, and he treats everyone else the same. You don't have to be afraid. Are you okay?" If you understand, you can just ask. Your master and I will go with you."
After a pause, he added: "The foundation of alchemy must be laid firmly, and many details must be remembered. Each detail may be related to the success rate of alchemy."
Luo Qingzhou asked: "Uncle, are you going to study together?"
Linghu Qingzhu was silent for a moment and said: "I have been learning for a long time, but Master Wu said that I have no talent for alchemy and that my spiritual realm is not enough, so he stopped teaching me."
Having said this, she turned to look at him and said, "If you learn it, you can help me make elixirs in the future, okay?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "Of course."
Linghu Qingzhu looked at him and said, "Do I need to charge a fee? I heard that alchemists charge a lot for making elixirs for people."
Luo Qingzhou pretended to think for a moment, nodded and said: "Of course there will be a charge. But the uncle is one of our own, so he can charge less."
Linghu Qingzhu narrowed his eyes.
Luo Qingzhou added: "Of course, if uncle doesn't want to pay..."
Having said this, he looked at the jade flute in her slender room and said, "It's okay to be an entertainer."
Linghu Qingzhu withdrew his gaze and ignored him.
Neither of them spoke anymore, stepping on the snow and walking up the mountain side by side.
After entering the mountain gate, the two went directly to the main peak and found Fairy Zixia who was talking to the great elder in the main hall.
The two are discussing about getting married tomorrow.
Seeing the groom's arrival, the great elder Wu Youzi said quickly, "Feiyang, there shouldn't be any problems here, right? We'll set off early tomorrow morning. You just stay on the mountain tonight and don't run around."
Luo Qingzhou glanced at his master and saw that she didn't speak, so he could only say: "Disciple, there is no problem."
Wu Youzi nodded and left first.
There were only three people left in the hall.
Fairy Zixia stood up from her seat, glanced at the two of them, and said with a smile: "Feiyang, fortunately, your wedding robe was not thrown away that day. We don't have any spares."
Luo Qingzhou's face looked a little unnatural.
Linghu Qingzhu on the side had a cold face and a calm expression.
"Let's go to Master Wu's place."
Fairy Zixia smiled, said nothing more, walked out of the hall, and then said warmly: "Qingzhu should have told you, right? Uncle Wu has a bad temper. If he speaks unpleasantly later, please be patient. But he The level of alchemy is still very high. If my uncle hadn't come to speak in person, he wouldn't have agreed to teach you. I told you several times before, but he didn't agree. After all, teaching people to make alchemy requires starting from the basics, which is very troublesome, and alchemy requires talent. It requires strong soul support..."
"Uncle Wu's alchemy level is already at the level of a great alchemist. He is famous even in the entire Great Yan..."
Then he told some stories about the life of Master Wu.
Luo Qingzhou asked curiously: "Master, are there levels in alchemy? What levels are there in total?"
Fairy Zixia said: "Of course, there are levels. Alchemy begins with the alchemist, followed by the junior alchemist, the great alchemist, the third-level alchemist, the second-level alchemist, the first-level alchemist, and finally, the alchemy king. Don't underestimate the great ones. There are only a few alchemy masters in the entire Great Yan, and refining alchemy is not easier than practicing. Refining alchemy requires talent. No matter how high the cultivation level is and how strong the soul is, people without talent may only be at the level of an alchemy disciple for the rest of their lives... …”
"And some people may not have the talent for cultivation, but they have the talent for alchemy. If you have achievements and grades in alchemy, you will be respected no matter where you go. Because when you have reached a high level, you need elixirs, so the status of an alchemist is very important. high……"
"If a sect has a decent alchemist sitting in charge, it is equivalent to having an inexhaustible spiritual mine..."
"So, in our Lingxiao Sect, even our great uncle respects our great uncle Wu..."
Luo Qingzhou suddenly asked again: "Master, do you know the level of the most powerful alchemist in Dayan?"

Fairy Zixia thought for a while and said: "The most powerful alchemist should be Bai Yan from Xianyun Pavilion. He is probably at the late stage of the great alchemy master."
Luo Qingzhou hesitated for a moment and said: "There should be higher-level alchemists in the Piaomiao Immortal Sect, Penglai Immortal Island, and Jiutian Yaotai outside the Great Flame, right?"
Fairy Zixia said: "Of course, the practitioners in those places are unfathomable. The geniuses gathered there are probably even first-grade alchemists."
Luo Qingzhou said: "Is there no Alchemy King?"
Fairy Zixia smiled and said: "How can it be so easy to achieve the Alchemy King? It is probably not available in the entire Jiuzhou Continent."
At this point, she paused and said: "But I heard from my uncle that at the time, one of the three major immortal sects accepted an extremely talented female disciple. Whether it was cultivation talent, alchemy or refining, Her talent is very monstrous. I heard that it only took her a few years to reach the level of a first-level alchemist. I don’t know what level she is now.”
Luo Qingzhou's heart moved and he asked, "Are you a disciple of the Piaomiao Immortal Sect?"
Fairy Zixia shook her head and said: "Uncle Master didn't say specifically, but he should be a disciple of Jiutian Yaotai. After all, Jiutian Yaotai is the most powerful in alchemy and weapon refining. We have many magic weapons here and some high-quality elixirs." , all come from there.”
Luo Qingzhou pondered for a moment and then asked: "Master, do you know who is the most powerful among the three immortal sects?"
Fairy Zixia smiled and said: "Naturally it's Jiutian Yaotai. In fact, Jiutian Yaotai is one level higher than the other two Immortal Sects, and Penglai Immortal Island is one level higher than Piao Miao Immortal Sect. That's why we always treat them as Tied, because the three of them are from our Jiuzhou Continent, but in their own eyes, they are tied with the Immortal Sects of the other two continents... Of course, I heard this from my uncle... "
The two were walking and talking.
Linghu Qingzhu followed silently, without saying a word, and his mind was full of things to practice tonight.
The three of them quickly arrived at Yaofeng.
Above the Medicine Peak, there are medicine gardens everywhere, full of elixirs.
Even if it is covered with snow, it still grows vigorously.
Luo Qingzhou has also been learning elixirs from Sister Yue recently. When making elixirs every night, he will first learn about some elixirs.
He has a photographic memory and a strong soul, so every time Sister Yue describes it, he can clearly remember it in his mind.
At this time, he looked at the elixirs in the medicine garden. He recognized most of them. They were relatively common elixirs. They were not old, but they could still be used to learn alchemy.
He suddenly remembered the elixirs in his storage ring.
It was strange that he didn't recognize any of them.
And he remembered that when he first grabbed the storage ring, there were only a few small elixir plants in it. Unexpectedly, not only did those elixir plants grow extremely lushly, but seven or eight more strange-looking plants grew next to them. Panacea.
Is it because of that mysterious little tree?
Or is it the reason why he often drips spiritual liquid into the medicinal garden?
The other seven or eight elixir plants that grew out were probably just seeds, and they slowly sprouted.
Next time he will ask Sister Yue what kind of elixir those are.
Sister Yue should have seen his medicine garden and those elixirs at the beginning. Could it be that she didn't teach him about those elixirs on purpose?
"By the way, Master, does the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion have any books introducing various elixirs?"
he asked suddenly.
Fairy Zixia smiled when she heard this, took out three thick books from her sleeves, and said:
"I brought them all. Since I want to learn alchemy, these books are definitely indispensable."
Luo Qingzhou quickly took it and thanked him.
Fairy Zixia glanced back and said with a smile: "Your uncle reminded me to take these three books. Ordinary people cannot get these three books."
Luo Qingzhou turned his head again, looked behind him and said, "Thank you, uncle."
Linghu Qingzhu had a cold and arrogant look on his face. He said "hmm" lightly, and his ears hidden in his hair turned slightly red.
At this time, her mind was still playing the scene of him wearing the groom's wedding robe and practicing while being pressed under her.
The three of them soon arrived at a cave.
In front of the cave, there were two medicine boys standing. When they saw the three people coming, one quickly went in to report, and the other saluted respectfully.
Soon, the boy who had gone in to report came out and said respectfully: "Sect Master, Master Linghu Peak, Junior Nephew Chu, please come in."
Luo Qingzhou glanced at the two of them. He was only eight or nine years old, but he had already been accepted as a disciple by Master Wu.
Of course, if Master and Master call that Master Wu, he wants to call Master Uncle.
The three of them followed the two medicine boys into the cave, passed through a dim passage, and came to a staircase that wound down.
Fairy Zixia explained: "There is fire underground, so the alchemy room is located below."
Luo Qingzhou said: "Is it naturally formed?"
Fairy Zixia said: "It's magic weapons and formations. Generally, places with natural fire have long been occupied by other forces."
"Uncle Master, the sect master and the others have arrived."
At this time, several people stopped outside a stone room.
The medicine boy walked to the door, lowered his head and said respectfully.
After a while, an old voice came from inside: "Let them come in."
After saying that, the cave door slowly opened.
The two medicine boys walked in first, and Fang bowed and invited: "Sect Master, Master Linghu Peak, nephew of Master Chu, please."
As soon as Luo Qingzhou entered, he smelled the aroma of medicine.
The scent of this medicine was very familiar, and it actually seemed a bit like the elixir he just learned last night.
He was secretly surprised.
The temperature in the stone chamber also suddenly increased.
Oil lamps were lit on the walls, and a pale golden flame was burning on the ground in the corner. Above the flames, a huge copper furnace was emitting white smoke.
In front of the copper furnace, a tall and thin old man with black hair, wearing a tattered gray robe, was holding a banana fan and staring at the alchemy furnace.
Seeing this scene, several people stood still and did not dare to speak.
After a while.
The old man came to the alchemy furnace and smelled it. He nodded slightly and stretched out his finger. A ray of light shot out and fell into the flame under the alchemy furnace. The flame gradually shrank until it went out.
The old man fanned himself with the banana fan in his hand, turned around and looked at the people in the room.
Luo Qingzhou also looked at him.
This old man has raven hair and a childish face, with rosy skin on his face without any wrinkles, but the vicissitudes of life in his eyes cannot be concealed.
Of course, his voice is also very old.
The old man's name is Wu Datong. He has an ordinary name, but he is the only alchemist in the entire Lingxiao Sect and has a superior status.
"Kneel down."
While he was sizing him up, Wu Datong suddenly said with a cold face: "If you want to learn alchemy from me, first kneel down and kowtow three times, and then let me see your soul power and talent. If your talent is not good, soul power No, even if my uncle asked you to come, there is no need to talk about it."
As soon as these words came out, Fairy Zixia said: "Uncle Wu, since I'm not a disciple, I can just kneel down."
Wu Datong glanced at her and said: "Why, the current disciples are not even willing to kneel and kowtow to their elders? With such virtues, how can we respect our teachers and serve the sect in the future? Zixia, you disciple , I can’t accept it well.”
Fairy Zixia wanted to speak, but Wu Datong waved his hand and said, "No need to force it, just leave if you don't want to. I still have a furnace of pills to refine, and I don't have much time."
After saying that, he walked to the deer tripod again and lit the ground fire.
Fairy Zixia turned her head, looked at her apprentice helplessly, and whispered, "How about kneeling down and kowtow?"
Then he persuaded in a low voice: "After all, Uncle Wu is twice as old as you, and he teaches you the art of alchemy, so you won't suffer any loss."
Luo Qingzhou glanced at the old man again, and had to tell the truth: "Master, it doesn't matter if you kowtow, but I think he doesn't know how to teach me. And I am used to freedom. I guess there are too many rules here, and I can't stand it. Disciple today I came here just to watch, not to study here.”
As soon as these words came out, there was a cold snort in front of the alchemy furnace.
Wu Datong turned his head and said with a sneer on his face: "Boy, your arrogance is quite good, but unfortunately, I don't agree with you. As for you wanting to watch here, that's just wishful thinking. I am refining elixirs, and there are people who are qualified. Look, there are people who don’t deserve to see it. I think you don’t deserve to see it, so go away!”
Luo Qingzhou didn't say much and was about to leave. Fairy Zixia grabbed his wrist and whispered: "What did I tell you when I came here? Master Wu has such a temper, not only towards you." , it’s the same for us. Just be patient, say more nice things, and learn your skills, that’s better than anything else.”
Luo Qingzhou's eyes looked at the old man in front of the alchemy furnace and the alchemy furnace in front of him. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, there is something that a disciple may say that may be a little offensive..."
Fairy Zixia was slightly startled when she heard this and said, "You tell me."
Luo Qingzhou leaned close to her body and whispered in her ear: "Actually, the disciple doesn't like him. The disciple thinks that he may not be very good at alchemy..."
Fairy Zixia: "..."
Linghu Qingzhu stood behind and frowned when he saw the two of them pulling together, their bodies touching each other, and their heads almost touching.
"Wow!"
At this moment, the flames under the alchemy furnace suddenly jumped up and engulfed the entire alchemy furnace in an instant.
Wu Datong turned around and said with a ferocious face: "Boy, what did you just say?"
Luo Qingzhou fell silent immediately.
Fairy Zixia quickly advised: "Master Wu, calm down. Feiyang didn't say anything bad about Master Wu just now, he just said..."
Having said this, she glanced at the young man next to her and said awkwardly: "I'm just saying that Uncle Wu's alchemy skills are too poor and he doesn't like you..."
Luo Qingzhou froze immediately and turned to look at her: "..."
In the stone chamber, the air suddenly froze and became as silent as a chill.
The two medicine boys suddenly opened their eyes in fear and turned pale.
Fairy Zixia turned her face sideways with an innocent expression on her face: "Uncle Wu, he said that and it has nothing to do with me."
As she spoke, she pulled Luo Qingzhou's sleeves, as if to prevent him from escaping.
Luo Qingzhou: "..."
Silent for a few breaths
Wu Datong suddenly laughed ferociously: "Boy, do you want to use this method to attract my attention and interest? How dare you use this trick to make a fool of yourself? I am not good at alchemy, so tell me where I am wrong. ? If you say it, I will kowtow to you three times and call you master. If you can't say it, huh, it's not as simple as kowtowing three times. I still have the last medicine left in this alchemy furnace. Understand?"
Luo Qingzhou quietly tugged on his sleeves without pulling them open. Seeing that several people in the room were looking at him with burning eyes, the eyes of Master Wu's uncle were even more murderous, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "Master Wu Uncle, this potion should be a Qi-boosting pill, right? The last medicine, if I guessed correctly, should be the leafless flower, right? If uncle is still short of this one, I happen to have another one here..."
After saying that, he immediately took out a small purple flower from the storage ring and handed it over.
The ferocious look on Wu Datong's face suddenly froze. He stared at the purple flower in his hand and froze for a moment. The muscles on his face couldn't help but twitch: "You..."
Luo Qingzhou reminded again: "It's best to use soul power to control fire when refining Qi-Building Pills. A quarter of an hour is bigger and a quarter of an hour is smaller. The quality of the pills will be better. Uncle Wu Master, if you refine it like this, you can only Are you afraid that the elixirs that come out will be different in size and lack luster?"
Wu Datong was shocked.
"Buzz——"
At this moment, a low buzzing sound suddenly came from the alchemy furnace.
The flame under the alchemy furnace quickly extinguished.
The medicine boy next to him quickly said: "Master, the elixir is ready! The fragrance is so strong, this pot must be a success!"
Wu Datong came to his senses immediately, turned around hurriedly, walked to the alchemy furnace, took a deep breath, held the lid of the furnace, and slowly turned on the furnace.
A strong fragrance suddenly overflowed from the furnace.
Fairy Zixia's figure flashed under the alchemy furnace, and she looked inside the alchemy furnace through the steaming mist.
Linghu Qingzhu also appeared in front of the alchemy furnace at some unknown time and looked down.
Wu Datong hesitated for a moment, then looked down with a solemn expression.
The recipe for the Qi-Building Pill is a high-level recipe. He just got it a few days ago. It has already failed three times in a row. The current one was actually finished before they came. They just added some heat and stabilized the inside. It's just a pill.
What shocked him was that the pills in the three furnaces he had failed to refine were indeed...
At this time, Fairy Zixia, who was standing opposite him, suddenly said: "Uncle Wu, Feiyang seems to be right. Although your elixir is very fragrant, it... varies in size and has no luster..."
Wu Datong looked at the elixir at the bottom of the furnace with a stiff expression on his face.
Linghu Qingzhu suddenly raised his head and looked at someone.
At this moment, someone had already quietly retreated to the door while they were gathering around the alchemy stove to look at the elixir, as if he was preparing to escape.
Wu Datong suddenly raised his head and shouted: "Boy! Come back!"
Luo Qingzhou hurriedly said: "Master-uncle, junior..."
"Come back!"
Wu Datong suddenly looked at him with fiery eyes, as if a male lion in heat suddenly saw the beautiful lioness, and said urgently: "Come back quickly! I won't let you kowtow! I was just testing you just now. We are all from the same sect. Let's talk about it. What age are you kowtowing at?"
Fairy Zixia, Linghu Qingzhu, and his two medicine boys all looked at him.
