...

A black iron furnace cauldron, more than a half-person tall in the center of the hall, was burning with green green, representing the vitality of wood attributes. In the flames, a five-petal lotus emitting a faint golden light, quietly swelling, and the lotus sometimes shakes, falling a few wisps of dust, like lotus powder, light and delicate. The pollen gradually tightens and gathers in one place. After a long time, it will rise slowly and float out from the gap above the furnace. Finally, I feel the slow and gentle suction of a figure in the hall, and ripples over it.

Sitting cross-legged in his residence, Ou Chuyang devoted himself to purifying and absorbing the purple mist on the lotus. The original name of the lotus is Wupetaled Lotus, which is a level 5 spiritual herb. It is not uncommon on the mainland. This kind of lotus can grow in places with rich spiritual energy and quiet environment.

This lotus is originally a wood-attributed spiritual herb, but Ou Chuyang didn't know why. After collecting it, he found that the metallic spiritual energy contained in this lotus is half more than the wood-attributed one. However, this is not the point that Ou Chuyang needs to pay attention to. He is now just focusing his attention completely on the purple mist contained in the lotus.

Since returning from the Zijin Flower Garden, Ou Chuyang closed the door tightly and tried every means to try to separate all the purple mist on the lotus and use it to restore his strength. However, everything was not as smooth as Ou Chuyang expected. For some reason, the purple mist and the spiritual energy in the lotus seemed to have merged into one. Although Ou Chuyang was at the level of eighth level alchemist, it was difficult to extract it.

After careful consideration, Ou Chuyang finally planned to collect the spiritual energy of purple mist by using alchemy. However, Ou Chuyang found that it was impossible for him to separate the two spiritual energy at the same time. The spiritual energy of purple mist and lotus was too tight, so that if the heat of the flame was used to separate it too much, it would be very likely to cause excessive consumption of the two spiritual energy, which would be a loss.

After a hundred careful and careful tests, Ou Chuyang finally discovered the characteristics of this purple mist. It requires a flame of heat. This heat needs to be light and gentle, and cannot cause excessive damage to the lotus. This is also a matter of flame scorching and refining pills. Extracting medicinal power is contrary to the situation. This is even a great test for the fire control ability. Fortunately, Ou Chuyang's fire control ability is extremely powerful, and he does not care whether the medicinal power of the lotus is well preserved. He only cares whether the purple mist can be separated from the lotus.

Finally, Ou Chuyang finally found the point of fit for the flame concentration, and then he slowly extracted the purple mist from the lotus.

After several hours of roasting, Ou Chuyang struggled to extract part of the purple mist from the lotus, but this part of the mist was less than one percent of the purple mist contained in the lotus itself, which was really difficult.

"Huh~"

Once again, a small amount of purple mist was successfully extracted. Ou Chuyang inhaled it into his body. He felt that the original purple qi was separated. After a little reply, Ou Chuyang finally gave up this unrealistic, clumsy and laborious method.

Slowly stood up, Ou Chuyang waved his hand and extinguished the green flames in the furnace, took out the five-petaled lotus, held it in his palm and stared for a while, sighing and quietly pouring in.

"It's so difficult that you have to wash it in the gold washing pond?" Ou Chuyang murmured.

"Forget it, let's complete the monthly payment and study the secret of this purple mist in the future."

Thinking of this, Ou Chuyang walked out of the door.

The purple gold flower garden with the rising fairy fog is extremely lively today. Dozens of alchemists who defected to the Xu family came to the flower garden early in the morning and each collected the spiritual herbs needed to refine the golden spirit pills.

Ou Chuyang had long remembered the materials needed to refine this golden spirit pill. Although he didn't know who had developed this supreme pill that could enhance internal energy for the Xu family, he still admired this powerful man who invented such a pill recipe. You know, without the golden washing pool here, it was impossible to remove the purple mist on the spiritual herb, and it would be even more impossible to successfully form a pill.

Walking slowly in the ocean of spiritual herbs everywhere, Ou Chuyang stopped in a distance where few people were involved, and leisurely collected spiritual herbs.

Just then, an inappropriate voice rang behind Ou Chuyang. The voice was full of disrespect and even a little intentionally embarrassed.

"Hey, you've gone to the wrong place."

Ou Chuyang looked back and saw that there were two old men in his fifties. Their faces were red, and even their wrinkles were covered by their powerful strength. It was obvious that the Martial Saint's powerful man used the method of reversing the meridians and changing his meridians to modify his aging face.

Ou Chuyang stood up straight in confusion and said coldly: "What's going to the wrong place?"

The left man said, "This is our territory, where are yours?"

The man pointed to the relatively sparse spiritual herbs in the distance, and said disdainfully.

Ou Chuyang looked at it and sneered in his heart: It seems that what Bu Gong said is right. This small Wancaotang is really divided into two camps, and the two people in front of him should be the alchemist under Wang Yang. Yesterday at Wancaotang, he was very embarrassed and almost defeated their hall master. He met him here today. It seems that he was deliberately causing trouble.

Thinking of this, Ou Chuyang sneered, leaned over and continued to collect, while saying without looking back: "If I remember correctly, this purple gold flowerbed should be surnamed Xu. Who are you? What power do you have to control this place?"

The man sneered: "The surname of Zijin Flower Garden is Xu, but this place is under the jurisdiction of Elder Wang, so he naturally has the power to control how the spirit grass here should be divided. As for you, you have to remember, my name is Xiao Ju, and I am the deputy master of Wancaotang."

"Assistant Master?" Ou Chuyang raised his head, looked at Xiao Ju up and down, and then said without any pain: "I have never heard of it. I only recognize two elders in Wancaotang."

"Bold." Xiao Ju shouted loudly when he heard this, and this sound immediately attracted the attention of all the alchemists who came here to collect spiritual herbs.

Countless footsteps slowly moved closer to the place, and then Ou Chuyang heard Xiao Ju's annoying voice like a fly: "Since you have come to Wancaotang, you must obey the orders of Wancaotang. I am the person who was given the order by the master of the hall, so I naturally have the power to take care of you. If you don't listen, don't blame me for being polite."

"You're welcome?" Ou Chuyang sneered, patted the dust stained with his hands, and smiled, "Why are you so unceremonious?"

Ou Chuyang sneered repeatedly and looked directly at Xiao Ju.

Xiao Ju also sneered, then said aloud: "Li Tian."

With Xiao Ju shouting loudly, a figure flashed behind him, and came to Xiao Ju's side with a wicked smile, and said respectfully: "Assistant Master."

"Yeah." Xiao Ju looked at the man named Li Tian and said calmly: "How long have you been in the Golden Pool?"

Li Tian replied: "Fifteenth day."

"It's been half a month." Xiao Ju sighed, pretending to calculate, and then said: "Since that's the case, your mission period is over, so let's leave the next day to Qingyi."

Li Tian said happily when he heard this. Then Xiao Ju turned his head and said to Ou Chuyang: "From today on the whole day, you will be responsible for supervising the Golden Pipe for the whole day. Well, you are new here, you should get familiar with it. It's only thirty days. This is a good task. Don't worry, you won't have to complete the share this month."

When the onlookers heard Xiao Ju say it, they immediately looked at Ou Chuyang with the same pitiful eyes. The alchemists in Wang Yang's camp were secretly happy and laughed secretly. As for the alchemists who volunteered to follow Yu You, they all shook their heads and sighed. Although they were very unfair for Ou Chuyang to offend this villain, they still did not have the courage to refute it in time. After all, Xiao Ju, the deputy hall master, is the manager appointed by Wang Yang and Yu You, and he only has such a small power. He was also used to exclude the differences.

In addition to being controlled by the Xu family guards, two alchemists must be responsible for assisting in the affairs there every month to prevent people from secretly collecting too many top-grade spiritual herbs. This system is a rotation system, with each of them responsible for half a month each time, which is also the time to leave half a month for those alchemists to have time to refine the golden spirit pills, which can be said to be reasonable.

However, everyone did not expect that Xiao Ju was so cruel. He asked Ou Chuyang to stay in for a month at one time. Although Xiao Ju's words testified, Ou Chuyang didn't have to worry about the share of this month, but it was all-weather. How could Ou Chuyang have the chance to come out to collect his three spiritual herbs? So, offending Xiao Ju was indeed Ou Chuyang's least-knowing approach.

How could they know that Ou Chuyang didn't understand the rules here at all, and the Bu Gong, who was sent by Yu You to tell Ou Chuyang about the rules here, didn't care about this, and he wouldn't have thought that Ou Chuyang offended Xiao Ju as soon as he came.

Listening to Xiao Ju's words, although he did not understand the meaning, the vocabulary of all-weather and thirty days was an indisputable fact. With Ou Chuyang's agility, he could naturally understand that this was not a good task, so Ou Chuyang could not accept it.

"Why should I listen to you?" Ou Chuyang said.

"Wow"

As soon as Ou Chuyang said this, everyone immediately took a breath of air. The Xu family had strict regulations that subordinates must absolutely obey their superiors. Although Xiao Ju was just a small deputy hall master, who was given the orders to Wang Yang and Yu You, he was also the immediate boss of these alchemists after all.

It is familiar to say that county officials are worse than to be in charge. No one in Wancaotang dares to listen to Xiao Ju, because they all know that refusing Xiao Ju's assignment is equivalent to disobeying the orders of the hall master.

"It looks good now." Everyone was shocked to think that all the alchemists from Wang Yang's camp were looking forward to Xiao Ju's move.

Xiao Ju is the peak martial saint's strength, and he is only one step away from the realm of the Martial God. He hasn't taken action for a long time. Everyone recalled that the last time Xiao Ju took action to subdue an alchemist who was dissatisfied with him, it was a few years ago. That time, the alchemist was instantly broken by Xiao Ju, and he kept it for several months but still couldn't recover.

Now, the green light flashed on Xiao Ju's body, and waves of forceful aura were constantly released. Looking at Xiao Ju who was about to explode, the alchemists in Yu You's camp were all worried about Ou Chuyang.

The battle was about to break out. All the onlookers immediately retreated and left a considerable place for the two of them in this purple gold flowerbed.

Looking at the other party's rising internal strength, Ou Chuyang's face was full of disdainful smiles. Just kidding, can a peak martial saint scare Ou Chuyang? Of course it is impossible.

Ou Chuyang didn't move, and his internal energy was not released. He looked at Xiao Ju quietly, waiting for him to take action like an ordinary person who did not learn martial arts.

According to Ou Chuyang's idea, although he needs to hide his strength in the Xu family, the gap between the seventh-level martial saint and the peak martial saint is not big. Even if he is defeated, no one will investigate it. As for the need to take action, Ou Chuyang is thinking about his future.

The day after this, someone was asking for trouble for themselves. If they didn't teach Xiao Ju a lesson, I'm afraid anyone would bully him. Ou Chuyang didn't want to encounter such trouble every day, so Ou Chuyang was ready to take action.

Nowadays, Ou Chuyang is no longer the strong man who still has the same attitude towards martial arts as ordinary people. In the battle with the Tiandi Alliance, Ou Chuyang fully realized the good effect of restraining internal energy. He knew that applying internal energy in his body was far more powerful than that of external release. Moreover, this method of using internal energy can also confuse the enemy in an extremely obscure way, let him know that he is at a disadvantage, so as to achieve unexpected good results.

Although Ou Chuyang has not yet understood the mystery and cannot maintain this attitude for a long time, he has long remembered the use of internal energy and it does not take too long to deal with people like Xiao Ju.

The internal energy was rising and the other was rising. Xiao Ju's momentum became extremely powerful and majestic as the internal energy bloomed. On the contrary, Ou Chuyang, who was opposite to him, was introverted and calm. The scene seemed to be like a martial arts master facing a scholar with no power, which made people laugh and cry.

Of course, it is impossible for everyone to think that Ou Chuyang is really powerless. They can only think that Ou Chuyang is frightened by Xiao Ju's power and has lost the will to fight in the face of powerful pressure.

Just as the two of them were facing each other and the battle was about to begin, a sudden hurried shout came from afar.

"stop."

When everyone heard this, they looked into the distance in surprise. Bu Gong accompanied Yu You and Wang Yang to come over at the right time.

Bu Gong ran two steps, pulled Ou Chuyang over and whispered: "Why did you argue with him?"

Ou Chuyang shrugged helplessly and said, "I don't want to do it either, he insists on finding fault."

In fact, Bu Gong had already seen Ou Chuyang and Xiao Ju quarrel from afar. He quickly reported that Xiao Ju's identity and status were far above him, so he hurried back to Wancaotang and found Yu You. Wang Yang was also present at that time. When the two heard that there was a dispute inside Wancaotang, they rushed over immediately.

At this time, Yu You and Wang Yang also came to the two of them. Wang Yang glanced at Ou Chuyang and Xiao Ju with his cold face that had not yet melted for thousands of years, and asked in a deep voice: "What happened?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ju walked to Wang Yang flatteringly and told the story all the time.

After hearing this, Wang Yang suddenly snorted coldly and said, "Hmph~, it's so good to be laughed at here, Qingyi, why don't you listen to Xiao Ju's control?"

He had long understood that Xiao Ju was Wang Yang's man, and Ou Chuyang also expected that Wang Yang would ask him first, so he was not too surprised, but said calmly: "Why should I listen to him?"

"He is the deputy hall master here, and his order is the order of Elder Yu and me." Wang Yang said angrily.
