Taihuang Star Seal

"Right now, we are trapped here by the Zhou and Lu families, as well as the soldiers from the City Lord's Mansion. We can't move forward."

"What should I do?"

The second elder asked with a worried look on his face.

"How about we risk our lives to fight them and rush directly into the City Lord's Mansion to rescue them!"

The fifth elder said with a determined look.

"it's useless."

Some people were pessimistic: "With just the people we have, we can't even deal with the three parties besieging Luo Mansion, so how can we rush into the City Lord's Mansion to rescue people?"

"Then what do you think we should do?"

"Are we just going to let you fall into the abyss alone?!"

"That was not what I meant……"

Just when the tribesmen were arguing fiercely.

Luo Haoyuan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said, "Stop arguing!"

"The only solution now is to wait!"

"wait?"

"equal!"

At this point, Luo Haoyuan suddenly looked at his daughter and said, "Ru'er, your master at the Imperial Capital Academy should be able to have a say in this matter, right?"

Luo Qinru clenched her fists, then nodded firmly.

But in fact, she didn't dare to guarantee that Nangong Qiuyu, the "vice-dean" and "special teacher" from the Imperial Capital Academy, would really help her.

Ever since that cold and beautiful master found out that Luo Qinru was engaged to someone, he has been looking for an opportunity to break up this marriage!

In Nangong Qiuyu's eyes, Luo Qinru is a piece of "unpolished jade" of excellent quality and a "hidden dragon" with extraordinary talent!

Such a person is destined to soar into the sky.

How could she ruin her future by marrying a good-for-nothing boy from a remote town?

However, Luo Qinru never told anyone about all this.

In order to save her fiancé and not to worry her father, Luo Qinru decided to shoulder this heavy burden alone...

"Counting the days, Master should be coming to see me soon."

"Before this, in order to save Ding Chen, who was dying after returning from the casino, I already owed Master a 'Spiritual Grade Top Grade' healing pill."

"This time, I'm afraid I'll owe her even more!"

At the same time, in the City Lord’s Mansion.

Sima Zhong, who had returned, unloaded four carriages' worth of resources into the training room.

Among them, the corpses of the eight low-level monsters took up the most space.

This scene caused many people in the City Lord's Mansion to point fingers at the scene.

"My goodness, that's the first-level demon beast 'Purple Tailed Three-Headed Leopard', right?"

"There are also 'Ironclad Beast' and 'Earth-Splitting Rammed Earth Elephant'..."

"All the bones and blood of these monsters, even their skin and flesh, have been transported to the city lord's training room. I wonder what they are doing?"

At this time, in the practice room.

Sima Zhong glanced coldly at Ding Chen who was eating and drinking, and said, "I have brought everything you need."

"Including this medicine cauldron..."

At this point, Sima Zhong gently patted the waist-high red-gold cauldron and said word by word: "I want to see if you have the ability to refine medicine into pills?"

Ding Chen gnawed on the crispy fried animal leg while mumbling, "This medicine cauldron is big enough. I hope you have a big enough appetite to eat it."

He had not forgotten that Sima Zhong had sworn that if Ding Chen could really make an elixir, he would eat up the cauldron he used to make the elixir on the spot...

"Hmph, wait until you can refine the medicine into a pill first!"

After giving Ding Chen a look of contempt, Sima Zhong turned around and went to find the real "buyer" to settle the bill.

"City Lord Xiao, those medicinal herbs, crystal cores, beast blood, etc., plus the fire of the Dan Fire, total 560,000 gold coins."

Sima Zhong smiled faintly and said, "As for the cost of renting the medicine cauldron, I won't charge you for it, brother."

In fact, if Xiao Zhenxiong hadn’t suddenly been promoted to a “Spirit Condensation Realm” expert…

As a "great martial arts alchemist", Sima Zhong would never waive the cost of renting the alchemy furnace as a gesture of goodwill to the other party.

Even if the other party is the lord of Tieyan City, he is still not qualified!

Xiao Zhenxiong clasped his hands and said, "Thank you, Brother Sima."

In fact, Xiao Zhenxiong still felt very painful to pay such a large sum of money at once.

But on second thought, he had already broken through to the Spirit Condensation Realm!

As long as he could cure the stubborn disease that caused him to suffer a tribulation, he would be able to earn back a hundred or a thousand times the gold coins he spent today in the future.

Xiao Zhenxiong had just thanked Sima Zhong politely, and as soon as he turned around, he ordered Ding Chen in a cold voice: "Now that the resources are complete, why don't you start refining the elixir as soon as possible?!"

"What's the hurry? I'm not full yet!"

Ding Chen said as he stuffed a handful of monster meat into his mouth and chewed it carelessly, "You can't make pills on an empty stomach."

"You don't want the hundreds of thousands of gold you just spent to turn into ashes in an instant, do you?"

"you!!"

Luo Haoyuan glared at him: "Okay, let's see how long you can last?!"

Seeing this, Sima Zhong immediately mocked him: "See, I told you long ago that this little bastard has no chance of refining the medicine into a pill. He is just stalling for time."

Luo Haoyuan's eyes turned cold: "Humph, if he can't make the medicine into a pill, this city lord will kill a few people from the Luo family to vent his anger!"

Half an hour later.

After eating and drinking his fill, Ding Chen finally got up and left the table.

As he walked towards the animal carcasses piled up in the corner, he stretched out his hand and said, "Bring the knife!"

"Knife?"

Xiao Zhenxiong narrowed his eyes and asked, "What do you want a knife for?"

"Of course we have to cut the body into pieces and put them into the cauldron. Otherwise, such a large corpse wouldn't even fit in the cauldron. How can we melt it?"

Xiao Zhenxiong did not suspect anything and ordered his servants to bring a sharp blade that had been tempered three hundred times for Ding Chen to use.

Ding Chen was also not vague. After holding the knife in his hand, he immediately swung the knife as fast as the wind and with a force as strong as thunder!

“Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish…”

Each of his cuts was clean and sharp, without damaging the essence of the beast's corpse in the slightest.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhenxiong and Sima Zhong couldn't help but exclaim: "What a beautiful swordsmanship!"

"Every time he made a seemingly random move, he really achieved 'following his heart and moving at will.'"

"How could the Luo family, which has always passed down the palm technique, teach such a brilliant sword technique?"

"I'm afraid this kid has a lot of unknown secrets on him..."

Just when the two of them had their own thoughts.

Ding Chen had already cut out appropriate amounts of skin, bones, and flesh from the corpses of the eight low-level monsters according to a certain proportion.

Then put it into the cauldron together with other materials.

After Sima Zhong saw it, he sneered: "Haha, if you use the method of 'cooking a pot of porridge' like you do, it's impossible to make a pill... Huh?"

Before he could finish his mocking words, he saw Ding Chen quickly ignite the fire under the medicine cauldron.

The young man moved his ten fingers together, controlled the fire calmly, and went straight to the first step of refining the medicine into a pill: dissolving the materials!

“Sizzle, gurgle, gurgle…”

Soon, dozens of materials in the medicine cauldron began to melt one after another.

Ding Chen used his superb alchemy method to ensure that the medicinal properties of the materials put into the medicine cauldron at the same time would not interfere with each other and each would function independently.

His superb fire-controlling skills stunned Sima Zhong!

"How, how is it possible?"

"This kid... is actually proficient in alchemy?!"

at this time.

Hearing Sima Zhong's murmur of amazement, Ding Chen turned around distractedly at the critical moment of controlling the fire to melt the materials, and smiled evilly at the horrified Sima Zhong and the dumbfounded Xiao Zhenxiong: "Surprised? Unexpected?"
