Chapter 161 First Make Them Suffer Mentally and Physically

Mo Chen and his hundred-man Red Cloud Guards have been helping Liu Yuanhu clean up the mess during this period. After these days of training, Liu Yuanhu's injuries have basically recovered. Looking at the increasingly stable situation, in order to thank Mo Chen and Red Cloud Guards Liu Yuanhu specially set up a Banquet of thanks.

At this time, a group of them were eating and drinking in the county captain's mansion, and Liu Yuanhu and Mo Chen were sitting together, drinking wine, chatting and laughing.

Suddenly, the piercing siren sounded throughout Canghe County, and the originally bustling County Lieutenant's Mansion suddenly became quiet. Mo Chen and Liu Yuanhu stood up from their chairs and looked solemnly towards the city wall.

"What a strong oppression!"

Liu Yuanhu and others were only in the Bronze Bone Realm. After feeling the terrifying aura of the colorful bird, they were extremely shocked and their faces became extremely ugly.

"Brother Mo, please come with me to see the situation!"

Mo Chen looked serious. After a moment of silence, he immediately said: "Belonging to the Red Cloud Guards, form a formation to meet the enemy!"

The Red Cloud Guards were dispatched this time because the Governor's Palace ordered them to help Liu Yuanhu clear the situation. If they lost the city, they would be severely punished even if they went back. Although Mo Chen was afraid, he had to bite the bullet and follow Liu Yuanhu.

When Liu Yuanhu and Mo Chen arrived, the guards on the city wall had already entered a state of emergency preparedness under Zhang Guangqun's dispatch, and three heavy crossbows had been placed on the city wall.

These City Furies are important weapons in the military. An arrow is comparable to a spear. If it hits with a city crossbow, even a person in the Bronze Bone Realm can be killed instantly.

Liu Yuanhu spent a lot of money to ask Mo Chen to help him resell these three city crossbows from the Chiyunwei warehouse. He originally wanted to prevent the Black Sand Gang from happening again, but he never thought that these three heavy weapons would be available at this moment. Just put it to use.

Zhang Guangqun saw Liu Yuanhu and Mo Chen coming and hurried over to report the situation: "Sir, the crossbow has been loaded. Just wait for it to get closer before shooting!"

Liu Yuanhu and Mo Chen had the highest cultivation level and the strongest perception. They looked at the colorful birds in the sky with sinking faces and some fear deep in their eyes.

The two of them looked at each other and felt their mouths were dry, and their mouths were as bitter as if they had a Coptis chinensis in their mouths. They lowered their voices and said in unison: "Marrow Refining Realm!"

A moment later, Mo Chen's heroism as a sergeant was instantly revealed. With firm eyes, he personally walked to a city crossbow and turned the crossbow to aim at the colorful bird that was getting closer and closer.

"Brother Liu, if this thing enters the city, life will definitely be ruined. You and I are both fed by officials. In this case, we can only do our best and obey fate!"

Liu Yuanhu turned his head and glanced at Canghe County, which was already in a mess behind him, and his eyes gradually became firm: "Let's fight!"

The colorful bird was very fast, and it was close to Canghe County in the blink of an eye. When the colorful bird dropped to twenty or thirty meters, Mo Chen roared: "Shoot!"

The three city crossbows immediately made a loud noise, and thick giant arrows were immediately shot towards the colorful bird.

The colorful bird saw a hint of disdain in its eyes when it saw the flying crossbow arrows. Its wings flapped rapidly, and a strong hurricane suddenly formed from under its wings.

The hurricane swept through and the giant arrows collided, and the three huge arrows were instantly twisted into sawdust.

Liu Yuanhu and Mo Chen frowned upon seeing this and hurriedly reloaded.

Lu Junyi on the colorful bird couldn't help but frowned when he saw this scene and said loudly: "I am Lu Junyi of the Holy Pill Sect, don't do anything!"

Mo Chen turned his head and saw a person standing on the back of the colorful bird.

Lu Junyi is a famous person in Chiyun Mansion. Although Mo Chen has never seen him in person, he has seen his portrait. After seeing Lu Junyi's appearance clearly, he hurriedly stopped Liu Yuanhu and the Chiyun Guards below who were preparing to attack.

"Everyone stop it, stop it!"

The colorful bird landed at the top of the city and stood still, letting out a sharp cry.

The cry was so sharp and harsh that even Mo Chen and Liu Yuanhu felt their eardrums sting and their heads buzz, let alone other people with lower cultivation levels. Some warriors in the Skin Refining Realm were directly shocked. His ears bleed, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

Lu Junyi patted the colorful bird on the head and said softly: "Xiao Cai, be quiet, don't disturb Master Ge Dan!"

The colorful bird stopped chirping after hearing Lu Junyi's words and lay down on the city wall to take a nap.

Although Liu Yuanhu didn't know Lu Junyi, he had heard of the name of Shengdan Sect. At this time, his mind was racing and thinking about the reason why Lu Junyi came to Canghe County.

Mo Chen hurriedly pulled Liu Yuanhu to Lu Junyi and saluted.

"Crimson Guard Centurion Mo Chen has met Elder Lu!"

Upon seeing this, Liu Yuanhu also hurriedly saluted: "Liu Yuanhu, the magistrate and county captain of Canghe County, has met Elder Lu. I wonder why you are here? If you need anything, just ask, I will do my best to help you."

Lu Junyi didn't even look at Mo Chen, his eyes fell on Liu Yuanhu and asked: "Where is Alchemist Ge Qing? Take me to see him!"

Liu Yuanhu was shocked when he heard this: "Are you here to seek revenge from Master Ge Dan?"

Lu Junyi's identity and strength far surpassed Liu Yuanhu's. Although Ge Qing had rescued him before, at this moment he was too busy to report the news to Ge Qing. He could only lead Lu Junyi to Ge Qing's mansion with a sad face and lamented in his heart.

"Elder Lu, this is the residence of Master Ge Dan. I will call the door for you right now!"

After saying that, Liu Yuanhu stood in front of the gate and pulled out the sword from his waist, preparing to smash the gate with one knife in order to make a noise and remind Ge Qing.

When Lu Junyi saw Liu Yuanhu pulling out his long knife and preparing to hack at the door, he suddenly became anxious. He ducked to his side and kicked Liu Yuanhu out with a kick.

Liu Yuanhu, who fell to the ground, grimaced in pain. He looked at Lu Junyi with some confusion: "Elder Lu, are you...?"

Lu Junyi gave Liu Yuanhu a fierce look: "Who gave you the courage to knock down Master Ge Dan's door? You are not needed here anymore, get out!"

This time Liu Yuanhu heard a hint of respect from Lu Junyi's words. He reluctantly got up and limped away. He couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart: "Hey, if you weren't seeking revenge, you should have told me earlier. It would have been in vain for me to worry about it." Say, this foot really hurts!”

After Liu Yuanhu left, Lu Junyi carefully tidied up his appearance before he came to the door with some restraint and gently clicked the knocker.

Lu Junyi just clicked on Ding An twice before opening the door and walking out.

Ding An bowed slightly to Lu Junyi and cupped his hands and said, "I have met Elder Lu."

Lu Junyi looked at Ding An with some surprise: "Do you recognize me?"

Ding An smiled and shook his head: "I don't know you, but my master has informed me in advance and asked me to wait for you here."

Lu Junyi's face lit up when he heard this: "Does this old man know that I'm coming? Then could you please help me lead the way!"

Although Ding An is just a nobody in Lu Junyi's eyes, he is a member of Ge Qing, so his status cannot be treated with common sense. Lu Junyi did not dare to put on airs at this time, and even used honorifics when speaking.

Ding An shook his head and took out a tips bag and handed it to Lu Junyi: "Elder Lu, my master is currently in seclusion refining elixirs and cannot see you. Before that, he left this tips bag for me to pass on to you."

When Lu Junyi heard this, he immediately opened the kit. There was a small roll of paper inside, and he couldn't wait to spread it out.

The scroll says: Heaven is about to entrust this man with a great responsibility, and he must first work hard on his mind and body.

Lu Junyi was a little confused when he looked at the content on the paper and didn't quite understand its true meaning.

Ding An couldn't help but smile when he saw Lu Junyi's confused look: "My master said that if Elder Lu is confused, he can look at the back of the scroll."

Lu Junyi hurriedly turned the paper over, and the four characters "Start from Scratch" were clearly written on the back.

Ding An took out another brocade box and handed it to Lu Junyi: "This thing was given to your clan by my master."

Lu Junyi took the brocade box and opened it. Inside was a stack of brocade silks. After unfolding the brocade silks and seeing the contents above, Lu Junyi exclaimed: "The recipe for the Marrow Building Pill!"

Lu Junyi's expression was surprised and full of disbelief.

It’s not surprising that he was so out of sorts, the main reason was that the marrow-building pill recipe was too expensive!

The Marrow Building Pill is a top-grade Xuan-level pill! You must know that even in the Shengdan Sect, which is based on alchemy, the highest-level pills, the Marrow Forging Pill, are only the Xuan-level middle-grade. Even so, they have always relied on the Xuan-level middle-grade Marrow Forging Pill to remain firmly in the red cloud. The throne of number one in alchemy in the mansion!

For alchemists, alchemy is an alternative martial arts in a sense. Without higher-level alchemy, it would be impossible for the alchemist to be promoted in his lifetime. This is like a martial arts prodigy with top talent who cultivates to the Golden Bone Realm in a short period of time but ends up spending his whole life without the Receiver Technique. No matter how talented you are, you can't break through to the Marrow Refining Realm. High-level The elixir recipe is as important to the alchemist as the introduction method!

The master of Shengdan Sect and Lu Junyi himself are both Xuan-level mid-level alchemists. They have stayed at this level for many years, and their skills have been honed to the perfection of this level. However, they have been suffering from the lack of higher-level alchemy talents. I have been stuck at this level and cannot improve.

Now this marrow-building pill formula is of great significance to them. If used well, it may be able to increase the influence of their Holy Pill Sect in the Chiyun Mansion to a higher level, completely reaching the level of the Governor's Mansion. Even more than the Governor's Mansion.

In these troubled times, no one knows how long the Daliang court can last. Everyone wants to accumulate more strength and means so that they can have more capital to survive in troubled times.

Lu Junyi's hands holding the pill trembled violently because he was too excited.

"Elder Lu, if nothing happens, please leave. My master likes to be quiet. The noise you just made was really too loud."

As soon as Ding An said these words, Lu Junyi's face immediately showed a look of shame: "It's my fault, I won't do it next time!"

When Lu Junyi said that he fell to his knees facing the mansion, Ding An smiled and did not stop him. He just took two steps to the side to give way.

"On behalf of the entire Shengdan Sect, Lu Junyi would like to thank Master Ge for his gift!"

After Lu Junyi knocked three times in a row, Ding An helped him up: "Elder Lu, there is no need to be too polite. My master said that if he troubles you to do something, he will pay you. This is just an ordinary thing. It’s just an exchange of interests, so don’t take it to heart.”

Lu Junyi said something to Ding Angong and turned around to leave.

Ding An closed the door and walked into the backyard.

Ge Qing was sitting in the small courtyard at this time, staring at a porcelain basin the size of a millstone in front of him.

"Master, Elder Lu has left."

Ge Qing didn't say anything but waved his hand to signal Ding An to leave. From the beginning to the end, Ge Qing's eyes never left the porcelain basin in front of him.

There was a clear water in the porcelain basin in front of Ge Qing, and there were countless stars on the water.

These stars are moving, shining brightly and magically. After watching for a while, Ge Qing took a sip from the small teapot on the table and laughed: "Oh, this kid is also magical. I didn't expect that I couldn't figure out his fate even after all my years of cultivation. It's really strange! But I saw that his eyebrows were full of purple light and extraordinary charm. I can tell at a glance that he is not an ordinary person. I hope that my operation can have some cause and effect with him. I don't know if he can become the one who breaks the situation in the future troubled times!"

Ge Qing stretched out a finger and stirred it gently in the porcelain basin. A mysterious power emerged from him, and the porcelain basin suddenly bloomed with dazzling colorful light. After a while, the light dissipated, and the porcelain basin became empty.

After Lu Junyi got the recipe for the marrow-building pill from Ge Qing, he was in a good mood. He hummed a little tune while walking. At this time, he had already begun to imagine the beautiful picture of the Shengdan Sect's rising status in the future.

When Lu Junyi returned to the city wall, Liu Yuanhu and Mo Chen were already waiting there.

The guards on the city wall had long since withdrawn, leaving only a few for daily patrols, and the rest were replaced by the honor guard.

Liu Yuanhu and Mo Chen hurried over when they saw Lu Junyi return: "Elder Lu, how are you doing? Is there anything else we can do for you?"

Lu Junyi was in a good mood at this time, and because he was curious about Gu Sheng, he took the initiative to ask Liu Yuanhu: "How strong is the Gu family in Canghe County? Are they in the business of elixirs or medicinal materials?"

Liu Yuanhu fell into deep thought after hearing this, and after a moment, he frowned and replied: "To reply to Elder Lu, there is no Gu family in my Canghe County, but there is a village called Gujiazhuang below, and 99% of the Gu surname in this county comes from there."

"Village?"

Now it was Lu Junyi's turn to frown.

Gu Shengnian was only seventeen years old when he reached the Perfect Blood Refining Realm. This kind of martial arts talent was the best in Canghe County, not to mention in Chiyun Mansion. However, what he never expected was that Gu Sheng was not a descendant of a big family in Canghe County, but a villager.

Canghe County was remote and poor in resources. Even the powerful families in the county had very limited resources, not to mention the smaller villages.

Poor in literature but rich in martial arts is no joke, especially in the three realms of skin refining, blood refining and bone refining. If there is no continuous supply of elixirs to support it, the speed of cultivation is like a turtle crawling! However, Gu Sheng was still able to cultivate to today's realm under such arduous conditions, which shows his good talent, strong character and perseverance!

Lu Junyi suddenly understood why Ge Qing put down his face and stuffed Gu Sheng into the Shengdan Sect. This was because he loved talents!

Seeing Lu Junyi frowning, Liu Yuanhu was also worried. He asked cautiously, "Elder Lu, did someone in the Gu Family Castle offend you?" (End of this chapter)
