Chapter 184 Lu Laodeng Made Me Work for Free Again!

After returning to the attic, Lu Junyi said with a serious face: "This money is not given in vain, it is borrowed, and there is interest. It should not be counted as opening a back door for him."

Gu Sheng was a little confused looking at the huge sum of money in his hand.

"What...what does this mean?" Gu Sheng couldn't help but smile.

First of all, it was a black bamboo sword, and then there were three hundred thousand taels of silver notes. Of course Gu Sheng knew that Lu Junyi could not have given him these things just because of his talent. After all, the two together amounted to more than one million taels of silver. If If we really go by the normal conditions, it is impossible to give him the Black Bamboo Sword alone. Many of the core disciples of Shengdan Sect do not yet have a treasure in their hands.

Lu Junyi did this obviously because of Ge Qing! But what Gu Sheng didn't quite understand was why Lu Junyi didn't mention his status directly. He didn't believe Lu Junyi's previous remarks. It was just nonsense to maintain the sect's laws. It's not like he had never done this kind of thing before. .

Gu Sheng couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it. Anyway, the benefits gained were the most practical.

"Junior Brother Gu, you are so lucky! I feel that Master treats you better than he treats me."

Although Bai Xueyuzi said this with a smile, the jealousy in it was obvious, and Gu Sheng could only giggle at this.

Ares Peak

Wen Mingyan thrust the sword at his waist into the boulder in front of him, and cursed angrily: "This old man! You make me work for nothing every time! Sooner or later, I will pull out all the grapes in your yard!"

Qin Xue came from the Hall of Merit and saw the sulking Wen Mingyan and asked with concern: "Mingyan, what's wrong with you? Why are you sulking here alone? Didn't you just go to Yunsheng Peak?"

Wen Mingyan said angrily: "You're still talking about it! Lu Laoden asked me to work for nothing without paying me again!"

Qin Xue couldn't help but laugh when she heard this: "You are the same, you are still like a child at this age. I guess the elder would probably give it to Gu Sheng for the yellow-level low-grade treasure Wu Si gave him , I look at him as if he were his own son. Gu Sheng is so talented. As long as he joins our God of War Peak in a few days, he will be your disciple sooner or later. Why are you arguing with a junior like him? ”

When Wen Mingyan heard this, he immediately became unhappy: "Oh my god! How could I compete with a junior? Do you know how much money Lao Deng cheated Wu Si?"

Qin Xue asked curiously: "And you got extra money?"

Wen Mingyan nodded heavily: "Then Lao Deng not only asked Wu Si for a yellow-grade low-grade black bamboo knife, but also asked for a Tong Xin Dan. If Wu Si didn't, he gave him a million yuan in silver notes to pay for it!"

Qin Xue's eyes suddenly widened when she heard such a huge amount: "So much? Can Wu Si agree?"

Wen Mingyan smiled disdainfully: "How dare he disagree? Why do you think I went there? I cooperated with Lao Deng and put on a good show, beating Wu Si severely. Wu Si was afraid that I would lose my mind. If I kill him for my fever, I will have to pay for it. Tell me, I have done the most work but he doesn’t give me an appearance fee. Is this reasonable?”

"Why don't you help me find him? If you go in person, Lao Deng will be embarrassed to refuse you!" Wen Mingyan winked at Qin Xue.

Qin Xue glared at Wen Mingyan angrily: "I'm not going! You can go alone, I don't care about you two. Gu Sheng killed four people from Qian Du Sect this time, including There is one who is in the Silver Bone Realm. This little guy is not only very talented, but he can also fight beyond the next level. He is really a good prospect."

Wen Mingyan didn't look too surprised when he heard this: "Lin Miaomiao is already in the Silver Bone Realm, so it's okay for them to team up to kill these people."

Qin Xue shook her head: "I asked Lin Miaomiao and others. According to what they said, they were all poisoned by Wu Xinyu and killed each other. It was Gu Sheng who killed those four people alone!"

When Wen Mingyan heard this, his pupils suddenly became a lot bigger: "Is this kid so awesome?"

Wen Mingyan's mind immediately began to spin rapidly. He rubbed his chin with one hand and fell into deep thought: "No! This kid is born to practice martial arts. We can't let other things delay him!"

Wen Mingyan suddenly clicked his head and mysteriously pulled Qin Xue and said in a low voice: "Xue, you must have arranged Gu Sheng's selection of the peak!"

Qin Xue was a little confused: "Yeah, what's wrong?"

A knowing smile appeared on Wen Mingyan's face: "How about you do it behind the scenes and let him skip the test on Lingdan Peak and put him on God of War Peak."

Qin Xue rolled her eyes when she heard this: "The Great Elder personally said that he will be present when Gu Sheng selects the peak. If you want to do it yourself, I don't dare."

When Wen Mingyan heard this, his expression suddenly turned bitter: "Hey! This damn old man is always against me! I'm so annoyed. Sooner or later, I'll have to blow up his vineyard!"

The more Wen Mingyan thought about it, the angrier he became. He reached out and pulled out his sword from the boulder and struck at Lingdan Peak several times.

A series of terrifying sword energy attacked the Lingdan Peak. In a moment, a burst of glow appeared on the Lingdan Peak, a thick layer of defensive restrictions was triggered, and an angry voice resounded throughout the entire Shengdan Sect.

"Wen Mingyan, are you fucking stupid with your sword practice? If you have the ability, go and hack the Cloud Saint Peak. Who do you think you are a hero if you hack my Lingdan Peak?"

The person who spoke was none other than Lou Yu, the master of Lingdan Peak.

The relationship between Wen Mingyan and Lu Junyi is not a secret among the top leaders of Shengdan Sect.

If he was practicing his sword normally, Wen Mingyan would only be able to send out one sword energy at most, which he could catch alone with his strength. However, today there were several sword energy in succession, and he had to activate the defensive restraint of Lingdan Peak.

With Lou Yu's understanding of the two, he knew without guessing that Wen Mingyan must have suffered a loss at the hands of Lu Junyi and was taking it out on him.

Hearing this, Wen Mingyan said to himself: "I'm not stupid! If I split Yunsheng Peak, not to mention that Lao Deng can't tolerate me, I'm afraid the sect master will have to come out and beat me up. I won't do such a stupid thing."

Qin Xue saw this scene and could only shake her head helplessly and walk towards the Merit Hall.

...

After leaving Yunsheng Peak, Gu Sheng did not return to Huozhulin, but came to Zhanshen Peak to ask about the injuries of Dyson, Huang Miaoyin and Mo Buwen.

Fortunately, Shengdan Sect is based on alchemy. As the saying goes, medicine and medicine are inseparable. There are many masters in Shengdan Sect. At this time, several people have been diagnosed and treated by professionals. Even Mo Buwen, who was the most seriously injured, is no longer in danger. He only needs to recuperate for a period of time to recover.

After confirming the situation of several people, Gu Sheng returned to the wooden house in Huozhulin and couldn't wait to take out the black bamboo knife and soul-stealing arrow.

The soul-stealing arrow is different from ordinary arrows. It is more like a sleeve arrow, only the size of a palm. It is unknown what material it is made of. Anyway, holding it in the hand gives people a shock that goes deep into the soul. Even if Gu Sheng stares at it for a long time, he feels his head swelling.

"I don't have such a small crossbow. It seems that I have to find a chance to go to Shengdan City and ask Mr. Huang to help me modify it."

Gu Sheng put down the soul-stealing arrow and picked up the black bamboo knife again.

The black bamboo knife, as its name suggests, is black in color. There are obvious bamboo nodes on the handle. It is very light and not heavy at all. The texture is also very different from bamboo and metal.

Even so, the blade is sharp, and just looking at it makes people feel terrified.

The black bamboo knife is a short knife, less than 50 cm in total, and the blade is only about 30 cm, which is only a small section longer than an ordinary dagger.

This kind of weapon is generally only suitable for raids and killings, and it will be relatively disadvantaged in frontal battles.

Gu Sheng waved the black bamboo knife casually for a few times and was very satisfied with its light feeling.

"It seems that I have to hurry up to practice the Shadow Hiding Skill!"

As a yellow-level lower-grade treasure, the destructive power of the black bamboo knife must be very amazing. Gu Sheng estimated that after his Shadow Hiding Skill is a small success and his cultivation breaks through to the Silver Bone Realm, if he attacks from behind, I am afraid that people in the Golden Bone Realm will also suffer!

It just so happens that the Chiyun Mountains will definitely not be peaceful during this period of time. Lin Miaomiao and the others are still recovering from their injuries. Gu Sheng took this opportunity to calm down and practice!

In the next five days, Gu Sheng did not leave the wooden house. Liu Yiming brought him food. After five days of hard practice, the progress of the Shadow Hiding Skill was not bad, but he had not yet broken through to the small success realm. He was originally going to continue to practice, but Qin Xue disrupted his progress.

Qin Xue came to Gu Sheng this time because his cultivation and sect contribution points had reached the conditions for promotion to outer disciples. This was to take him to Zefeng!

According to the practice of choosing a peak for disciples of the Shengdan Sect, the disciples first go to Lingdan Peak to test whether they have the talent for alchemy. If the alchemy talent is not bad, they will be given priority to stay in Lingdan Peak. Only those who have no alchemy talent or whose alchemy talent does not meet the passing standard can enter the God of War Peak.

After all, the Shengdan Sect is based on the way of alchemy, so it is understandable to do so.

Qin Xue took Gu Sheng directly to the Alchemy Hall on the mountainside of Lingdan Peak.

If ordinary disciples choose a peak, the test will generally be sent to an ordinary disciple at the foot of Lingdan Peak for testing, but Gu Sheng is different. He is personally arranged by the great elder and must be present, so Qin Xue directly chose the Alchemy Hall on Lingdan Peak as the test site.

The Alchemy Hall is the place where disciples on Lingdan Peak make alchemy. There are many well-equipped alchemy rooms here. In addition to disciples, even the elders of Lingdan Peak make alchemy here.

The alchemy hall has three floors, the first floor is for outer disciples, the second floor is for inner disciples, and the third floor is where the elders of Lingdan Peak make alchemy.

Qin Xue took Gu Sheng directly to the largest alchemy room on the third floor.

This is the alchemy room of Yu, the master of Lingdan Peak.

When Qin Xue and Gu Sheng came, Lu Junyi had already arrived. He was sitting at a square table and talking and laughing with an old man of the same age as him.

"Grand Elder, Master Lou, I brought Gu Sheng here."

Qin Xue pointed at Lou Yu and introduced him to Gu Sheng: "Gu Sheng, this is Master Lou of Lingdan Peak!"

Gu Sheng hurriedly bowed to the two of them: "Disciple Gu Sheng greets the Grand Elder, Master Lou."

After carefully looking at Gu Sheng, Lou Yu pointed at the alchemy furnace not far away and said: "If you want to become an alchemist, you must have a perception far beyond that of ordinary people, because the process of refining pills requires precise control of the flame temperature, only in this way can the impurities of the medicine be quenched! This is also one of the criteria for testing whether you have alchemy talent."

Lou Yu came to the alchemy cauldron, picked up a medicinal material and threw it in, then picked up a few fire bamboos and put them below, and the flames rose immediately, and the temperature rose rapidly.

Lou Yu explained to Gu Sheng in detail how to use the alchemy furnace. After the explanation, he began to demonstrate to Gu Sheng. However, after more than a minute, Lou Yu opened the lid and took out two portions of powder.

One of them was extremely black and had a burnt smell, which was obviously an impurity in it. The other one was a gray powder with a peculiar aroma, which was the medicinal powder after formal extraction.

Lou Yu pointed to the five medicinal materials beside him and said, "Here are five portions of Grinding Fur Grass. If you can successfully extract one portion of powder within two and a half hours, you will be considered talented in alchemy and can stay at Lingdan Peak to learn the art of alchemy!"

Just now, Lou Yu's refining time was less than two minutes. Gu Sheng immediately asked curiously, "Isn't two and a half hours too long? I saw that you only spent one or two minutes just now?"

Lou Yu couldn't help laughing when he heard this and said, "I am a Xuan-level alchemist. How can you, who has not yet entered the door, control the flame and medicine better than you. Let me tell you this, even if we are the outer disciples of Lingdan Peak, it will take about fifteen minutes to complete the refining of this Grinding Fur Grass. These two and a half hours are calculated for you according to five portions. In fact, you only need half an hour to refine each portion."

Gu Sheng understood what he said and came to the side of the alchemy furnace to recall Lou Yu's previous operation. He imitated him and threw a Grinding Fur Grass into the alchemy furnace and then lit the fire.

The flames rose, and Gu Sheng adjusted the fire power according to the method demonstrated by Lou Yu before, and carefully fiddled with the leather-grinding grass in the alchemy furnace.

Because it was the first time to operate, Gu Sheng did not dare to make the fire too big, and kept roasting it on a low fire. After roasting for five minutes, the leather-grinding grass only curled slightly on the edge, and there was no change in the middle. Seeing this, Gu Sheng was afraid of overtime and hurriedly turned up the flame.

After another five minutes, the leather-grinding grass turned into a pile of black ash due to the excessive fire power, and it also emitted a choking smell. This time Gu Sheng obviously failed.

Seeing this, Lou Yu also comforted him: "It doesn't matter. Even when I first got started, it took me two chances to succeed. Let's summarize it and continue."

Gu Sheng is not a stubborn person, so he will naturally not doubt himself because of a failure. After summarizing the experience of the last time, he picked up another leather-grinding grass and threw it in.

After the last experience, Gu Sheng learned his lesson this time. He carefully observed the changes of the leather-grinding grass under various fire powers and turned the leather-grinding grass carefully. However, he still underestimated the difficulty of refining. After fifteen minutes, the leather-grinding grass that had been refined for most of the time turned into black ash because of the high temperature.

"It turns out that the fire power should be reduced in the middle to maintain the temperature!"

Gu Sheng quickly discovered the problem this time. After figuring out the joints, he immediately started the third attempt.

This time, when the refining was halfway done, Gu Sheng hurriedly reduced some fire bamboo to reduce the fire power.

Seeing Gu Sheng's action, Lou Yu was a little surprised: "Hey, this kid actually found out that he needed to reduce the fire in the middle so quickly. It seems that this kid's perception is very sharp!"

Refining leather-grinding grass is a very basic thing. There is only this one difficulty. As long as this problem is discovered, there is basically no problem in completing the refining!

Among the many disciples of Lingdan Peak, most people only discovered this problem on the fourth or even fifth time. (End of this chapter)
