After she entered the book, she just wanted to live with her

The man nodded slightly without turning back, "Do you know where her master is?"

"I failed in my duties and lost my friend. Please punish me, my lord."

"Never mind. If someone can send a five-year-old child, how can they be just an ordinary person?" The man frowned slightly, then said sternly, "If she comes again next time, you must follow her closely."

Xu Jin naturally understood the deep meaning of these words.

If you can't do it well again, it won't be as easy to talk to you as it is now.

"Yes! I will definitely see to it." Xu Jin clasped his fists respectfully and lowered his head, his voice firm.

"How's the city lord doing?" the man said lightly, changing the subject.

"The people below reported that the city lord has been out of the city frequently recently. It is unknown what he has been doing." Xu Jin said truthfully.

The city lord is very powerful, and his men dare not get too close to him for fear of alerting the enemy.

The man nodded in understanding but said nothing, and the room fell into silence.

At this moment, the maid's anxious voice sounded outside the door: "My Lord, the lady was admiring the flowers in the yard when she suddenly fainted."

Hearing this, the man immediately turned around and walked out in a panic.

As he walked, he quickly said to Xu Jin, "You should leave first. We must find the alchemist as soon as possible."

"Yes." Xu Jin said respectfully.

When I looked up again, I could only see the corner of my master's clothes as he hurried away.

And in a corner of the Monster Realm, the alchemist they are looking for is hiding.

Five-year-old Shen Daixing was sitting quietly in a luxurious cave, holding an ancient alchemy book in her hand, her eyes filled with wisdom and indifference that did not belong to her age.

Half a month's time is just a fleeting moment in the world of immortal cultivators.

Shen Daixing, who was sorting medicinal herbs, suddenly heard a knock on the door.

The knock on the door was brisk and she could tell with her toes that it was Ji Yunchen.

The door opened and Ji Yunchen stood outside, holding a big, fat fish in his hand with a smile on his face.

"Long'er, have you missed your uncle recently?" There was a hint of teasing in his voice.

"No."

Shen Daixing had a numb look on her face, as if she had become accustomed to Ji Yunchen's intimate and slightly doting way of addressing her.

She once asked Ji Yunchen why he called her that, but Ji Yunchen said, "Batian sounds like a boy's name. Long'er sounds better."

Shen Daixing said faintly, "Or you can call me Baba."

But Ji Yunchen frowned slightly and thought for a while, and always felt that it was not a good name, so he refused.

He shot himself in the foot. If he had known earlier, he would not have called himself Long Batian. It sounds ugly and will not make him popular.

Ji Yunchen, who was standing at the door, looked at Shen Daixing and laughed in his heart.

He knew that Shen Daixing was not happy with his address, but he just liked to tease her.

He picked up the fish in his hand and raised his eyebrows: "I'll make braised fish for you today."

Shen Daixing pursed her lips in a reserved manner and silently gave way.

She was secretly happy in her heart. Ji Yunchen, the free chef, not only brought his own ingredients to her house, but also made food that tasted great. She naturally welcomed him.

Ji Yunchen came to the kitchen and started to get busy.

While he skillfully handled the fish in his hand, he casually asked, "Long'er, do you know the City of Monsters?"

Shen Daixing, who was sorting the herbs, paused and a hint of vigilance flashed in her eyes.

She turned and looked up at him, a confused look on her face, and asked doubtfully, "Monster City? Is there such a place here?"

Ji Yunchen lowered his head to handle the fish, his movements skillful and graceful: "Yes, I went there recently."

"Where is it?" Shen Daixing kept fiddling with the herbs in her hands, pretending to be curious.

"I'll take you there next time I have the chance." He smiled faintly.

"Okay." Shen Daixing agreed readily, but felt a little nervous.

Could it be that something was discovered?

"But..." Ji Yunchen changed the subject: "Recently, a mysterious alchemist came to the city. He immediately produced a batch of extraordinary-grade elixirs. The cultivators in the city are all talking about it."

"Really? So powerful." Shen Daixing's heart tightened, but she pretended to be calm on the surface.

"I happened to see that elixir, and it was somewhat similar to the one you made. I thought it was you who went there."

"Well, all pills are the same. What's the similarity or dissimilarity?" Shen Daixing lifted the hair on her forehead, feeling a little uneasy.

She finally understood the feeling of telling a lie and having to cover it up with a bunch of lies.

Although this is not a big deal, after all, she was the one who secretly followed someone to the Monster City, so it is not good to say it out loud.

"The Monster City is inhabited by monsters that have transformed into humans. If you find out where it is in the future, don't go there easily as a child. It's very dangerous." Ji Yunchen said with a hint of worry in his tone.

Shen Daixing looked innocent: "Don't worry, Uncle Ji, I won't run around."

Seeing that she didn't want to admit that she had been to the City of Monsters, Ji Yunchen didn't force her.

Each alchemist has his or her own unique alchemy techniques and secret recipes, so the pills they refine are also unique and difficult to confuse.

Moreover, each elixir has its own unique properties, appearance and smell, and with just a little observation, one can tell where the elixir came from.

The pills of fire-attribute alchemists are usually red or orange in color and may have flame-like patterns on the surface.

The pills made by water-attribute alchemists are mostly blue or green, with a smooth surface and a cool touch.

The pills of wood-attribute alchemists are green or brown, and may have patterns of leaves or vines on their appearance.

The elixirs of metal-attribute alchemists are usually gold or silver in color and may have a metallic luster on the surface.

The pills made by earth-attributed alchemists are mostly yellow or earth-colored, with a simple appearance, giving people a sense of heaviness.

Of course, there are also some alchemists who are proficient in multiple properties and can refine pills with complex properties, which are more difficult to identify.

However, the pills refined by Shen Daixing can be recognized at a glance. They are dark in color and have no obvious features. They are made by hand.

He knew that Shen Daixing was hiding something from him, but he didn't point it out.

He just hoped that Shen Daixing could be safe in this dangerous monster territory and not get involved in the disputes in the monster city.

Ji Yunchen didn't continue the topic, and Shen Daixing slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

As time went on, the aroma in the kitchen grew stronger.

Ji Yunchen’s braised fish is bright red in color and fragrant, making people salivate.

"Try it, how does it taste?"

"Not bad." Shen Daixing gently picked up a piece of fish and put it into her mouth.

In this way, the two people, each with their own thoughts, ate the meal quietly.

After dinner, Ji Yunchen said goodbye and left.

He walked out of Shen Daixing's yard, looked back at the cave gate, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, then he turned and disappeared into the night.

Shen Daixing sat in the rocking chair, full of thoughts, and couldn't help but ask, "Double Eleven, am I being too cautious?"

In order to avoid causing trouble, she has always used a pseudonym when dealing with people.

In this world full of unstable factors, she knows that any negligence may lead to irreversible consequences.

However, the appearance of Ji Yunchen made her begin to doubt whether her approach was too cautious, so that she lost the opportunity to have a sincere relationship with others.

"It's not a bad thing to be cautious." 211's voice sounded in her mind, with a sense of detachment and calmness in the voice.

"In this world, no one knows the true intentions of others. Although Ji Yunchen is kind to you, his heart is unfathomable. You use an alias to protect yourself, which is not a bad thing. On the contrary, it is a sign of maturity."

Shen Daixing nodded slightly, agreeing with chapter 211, but she also felt a deep sense of loneliness and helplessness.
